I upgraded my macbook pro for Yosemite and my iSight is not working anymore. How can I fix it?
Does anybody knows where I can find a Driver file?
Thx
MacBook Pro, OS X Yosemite (10.10.1)

If restarting Mac or reinstalling OS Xdoes not fix your problem, see How to Troubleshoot iSight.
(Over time, Apple has changed the built-in camera's name on newer Macs from "iSight" to "FaceTime" and then to "FaceTime HD." Regardless of the name of your Mac's built-in camera, the same info and troubleshooting applies.)
There are also some suggestions in this discussion topic that have helped some users.

Tks,
Today i tried again , and in safe mode the camera is not installed.
I have tried ( like everyone else) all the tips in this and other threads.
tks.

Then use the final "Troubleshooting" suggestion: "... contact Apple or an Apple-Authorized Service Provider for service."

Thanks,
Using the VDCAssistant was the trick.
Our problem is a little different from most—System Profiler can "see" the iSight, but no function anywhere. We've done everything everyone suggested and finally took it to Apple Service—all their diagnostic tools point to a failed iSight—>$700 to replace the whole display on our MacBook Pro. This is just incomprehensible to me—how does an OS update kill the camera?!? Our iMac is 2 yr newer (2011), but this has scared me off any further SW updates (Mavericks has had its own issues!) Please post if anyone comes up with a solution!

Three solution alternatives I can offer:
(1) Take the MBP to a local store and try before you buy a Mac compatible external webcam
(2) Pay for the Apple fix
(3) A new computer that meets your needs

This was the ONLY process that fixed my FaceTime HD Camera (built-in) on my Macbook Pro:
Power off your MacBook Pro (make sure your power source is plugged into your laptop!)
Once your computer is shutdown:
hold down Shift+Control+Option (on the left side of your keypad) AND the power button.
Wait 5 seconds and then power up again.
That process resets the SMC on the MacBook Pro Retina
That's it. Cheers.
Hello
Im Also have same problem and i try everything
before everything okay but after upgread to Yosemite damage cam
but it was showing in usb hub . but after update to El Capitan not showing anymore .
I'm sure there is soft problem coz something wrong in update that damge the firmware .
even that VDCAssistant i didn't find it
any help ??
Wissbaum's Third option worked for me with El Capitan upgrade on a MacBook Pro:
Goes something like this:
Shut down computer and unplug power cord for 15 secs.
Plug in and turn on - then shut down again.
Turn, but before the gray screen appears simultaneously hold down the Option, Command, P, and R keys (all at the same time - it's tricky!). When you hear the 'turn on' sound, release and let the computer reboot. It took quite a while - went through several start up screens - but voila!! The camera works!!
G~
Had the same problem all the time (I think it is because of Skype)... anyway... this one works like a charm every time. No need to restart...
