macOS

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)

Answer 2

My camera stopped being detected in the system just before the update, reset smc everything became ok. support.apple.com/kb/HT3964 Try it, maybe it will help.

Answer 3

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:
