WaxTrax! Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 I finally got Leopard installed on my 20" Intel iMac, but the built-in iSight isn't working for some reason. At the initial setup where it asks you to either choose a picture for your account or take a snapshot, the camera came on and after about five seconds it faded to black. Now it doesn't work anymore. Any program that tries to utilize the iSight simply displays a black screen, even though the green indicator by the webcam indicates that it is on. Any ideas on this?

fugazi Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 Ok, do this go through the setup and then restart. It will work after you restart. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/24521-isight-troubles-in-leopard/#findComment-164849 Share on other sites More sharing options...
WaxTrax! Posted August 13, 2006 Author Share Posted August 13, 2006 Simply restarting didn't fix the problem, however completely turning off the computer and back on again did fix it :-) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/24521-isight-troubles-in-leopard/#findComment-164872 Share on other sites More sharing options...

mingistech Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 Noooo! After the shutdown and restart my iMacs built-in iSight works in Leopard but not in Tiger. When I boot into the Tiger partition and try to use any app with the iSight I get a message telling me that the camera is in use by another application. This kinda sux.

Joe Dimagio Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 I also am having the same problem. iSight worked fine in Leopard, but now I am using Tiger and it says that it's in use by another application. I am going to shutdown then start back up. Glad I am a member of this site now! I will let you know what happens. The shutdown, then fresh startup on Tiger worked fine for me too. Thanks guys!

Virtualball Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 All you need to do is not boot it up in safe boot lol Safe boot turns blue tooth, ethernet, sound, iSight, airport, etc off.

jimmymac641 Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 I have Leopard installed on a G4 1.5 gig Mac with 384 megs of RAM I am using a firewire connected iSight, when iChat launches everything looks o.k. until I test the video and all I get is a blue screen. The light on the camera lights but no video actually shows on the preview screen. Has anyone encountered and overcome this issue?
