I have had my Macbook for about 2 years now, late 2008 model unibody, and a couple of days ago I tried using Skype and it wouldn't let me use the iSight camera that is built-in. It said that no camera was connected. What do I do?

Try this:Mac OS X version 10.6.6
Skype Version 2.8.0.851
If the above steps don't bring a solution, can you try Photo Booth to test the iSight? Or look at System Profiler > Hardware >> USB >>> USB High-Speed Bus >>>> Built-in iSight?
If you follow the link you just posted, you'll see that resetting the SMC has nothing to do with the iSight camera.When you launched Photo Booth, did the green light next to the iSight camera light? You should try resetting the SMC and seeing if the camera works after.
Resetting SMC has no effect on the iSight camera at all. It will not help. Rebooting, however, may help.It may not definitively state it but it can sometimes help when the iSight should be working but doesn't. Or if the OP sees no indication of a software issue.

My macbook battery ran out so it went dead then once I plugged it in and rebooted it began to work again. Thank you guys for the help.
Apple does not recommend leaving your portable plugged in all the time.It's usually plugged in most of the day so the battery never drains.

This should answer most, if not all, of your battery questions:
