Since upgrading to High Sierra, neither FaceTime nor Photo Booth recognise my firewire iSight camera. Both say there is no connected camera.

About This Mac- System Report (under Hardware - Camera) says:-

"No video capture devices were found."

How do I make the system use the iSight, since it's obviously aware of its presence?

Mac Pro, macOS High Sierra (10.13), 12GB RAM, 4 x 3TB drives.

Have you tried disconnecting then reconnecting while FaceTime is running?

Mine is working with High Sierra, so it should be working for you. I don't know why it doesn't recognize it for you.

Far too simple for words. Now why didn't I try that instead of bothering you nice folks?

Thanks, Barney.
