Hello.
I rolled up just released Mac OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion and was immediately left without a camcorder. Has anyone encountered this and can it be solved? (if there is a reading, I will be grateful)

Try to poke hotkeys during boot - run hardware test, reset nvram

The 10.8.5 update updated a CoreMediaIO plugin that accesses the MBA camera, but didn't bundle the 32-bits version of it. Other (older and newer) versions of the OS do include a universal version (32 and 64 bits), but not 10.8.5. This means 32-bits apps such as Skype or iMovie cannot load the plugin, making the built-in facetime camera invisible to these them.
"The update does not include the 32-bit version of the camera driver"
Solution: restore the previous driver:
