My built in camera has goe missing. I look in the apps for the camera it says no information. suggestion?

Nobody has done anything to answer this question. I woke up this morning with a camera in my macbook. Sometime during the day it stopped working. To be honest, I'm a little ****** off at having wasted 5 hours diagnosing this and running into brick walls. I want some bloody answers. This little clusterphluck is the latest in a series of enraging pathetic incidents I've had with mac for the past 3 years. I could be a bloody tech with the knowledge I have gained. AND AT ONE THIRD MORE THAN A WINDOWS based pc I've certainly paid for my education.

I am so bloody over mac and its daily breakdowns. If I was married I would be in divorce court. Yeah, I'm clever and funny. But there is nothing clever, nor funny about your endusers suffering. I will celebrate the day Mac files Chapter 11. And I am unanimous in that!

I agree, there is nothing out there that explains why the camera on my macbook pro stopped working. It does not work with iMessage or Skype. 'It just says camera not found.' This is just terrible. When are we going to get a solution?

One of these will fix your camera problem:

(1) If restarting your Mac doesn't fix the problem,

(2) use Apple's http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2090.

(BTW - The Troubleshooting article calls the camera an "iSight". However, after the article was published, 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 built-in camera, the same info and troubleshooting applies.)

Be sure to test more than one Apple app (Photo Booth, FaceTime, iMovie, QuickTime Player, etc.) in more than one user account. Do NOT use the "Guest" account for this test. If you do not have more than one user account for the testing, create a new one now. If you need help, how to do it is explained in http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201754.

A "Standard" user account is all you need for testing.

(3) If your cam won't work properly even with Apple apps, use OS X Recovery to completely reinstall your Mac OS from the Recovery System stored on your startup drive. Don't bother testing Skype or other third-party apps until you have your camera working with Apple apps.

(4) If none of the above suggestions resolve your trouble, contact Apple or an Apple-Authorized Service Provider to have your Mac professionally serviced. Be sure to backup your Mac and deauthorize iTunes before tendering it for service.
