Soo for the last few days my built-in camera hasn't been registering at all on my Macbook Pro. I've had it for about a year (give or take a week) and haven't had any issues before this.
It is NOT an issue of the camera being used in another program.
Things I've tried:
a) restarting
b) shutting down
c) resetting the SMC
d) restarting in safe mode, then restarting again in normal mode
e) closing all of the programs that use the camera to see if it was an 'already in use' issue. It's not.
Is there anything else I can do short of taking my computer to the Apple store? The closest one is a min. one hour drive away. I don't have time to do that right now so it will be a while before I can get there and I'd rather try to fix it myself if I can.
I'm worried that there may be a deeper problem, also, because yesterday (again for the first time) it froze up. I did have a bunch of open programs but I do that all the time and it's never been an issue before. I had to force shut down and reboot, after which everything has been fine.
And before you ask, no, I don't have Parallels.
Any ideas? I'm mainly just annoyed about the camera because I use it ALL of the time and I miss it dearly right now.
