Yesterday I upgraded my MacBook from Leopard to Snow Leopard every thing seems fine but now it doesn't recognize the macbook pro (13")'s camera (iSight) How can I find the driver or I must do some thing else?

1) Run Disk Utility --> Repair Permissions 2) Reboot your system, with the left shift key down. This will force the system to do a safe boot, and to rebuild your drivers cache and force a rescan of your hardware.
If neither of those work, shut down, remove your battery & AC Cord, hold down the power button for approx. 5-7 seconds. Replace the battery, and plug in your AC. Boot up, and test again...
After all this, then maybe, it's time to Archive & Install... But first, check System Profiler to ensure that the iSight is visible under USB devices. If not, then it might be a hardware failure.
Perform the following steps until it works:
- Back up all your important data
- Reboot
- Fix Permissions
- Reboot in safe mode
- Reinstall (Archive&Install or use TimeMachine Backup as starter)
- Reinstall (Clean install)
- Bring the Laptop in for service

Have you tried fixing the permissions? If this does not help, only a complete reinstall might bring it back. Oct 28, 2009 at 13:43
