Just a thought, but have you got the mirror widget installed? you can tell when the iSight is being used because the green light is usually on? I found out last night that the mirror widget works in a way that makes sure it's always being used. Not sure if this helps other people as well, as I've seen more than one thread about this problem.

you could also check to see if the device is listed in the usb device section.

Thanks a lot~
i dont have the mirror widget installed. but today when boot camp to the Windows the Isight is working fine in the XP, that means the isight is good phsically, but i still cant boot isight in the OSX, i think maybe it is the driver problems. So i try to reinstall the isight Drivers, but it show a error in the installing. i am confused right now, is that my macbook infected a virus??

How to reinstall the Drivers?

Try resetting the PRAM:

hold command + option + P + R on startup, and wait for 3 chimes.

If that doesn't work....then I have no idea :-( Hope it gets fixed though.

Did you just uninstall BootCamp??

I had a similar problem when I took BootCamp off my MacBook. To fix it, I just installed BootCamp but didn't install Windows.
