I purchased a new imac 17" with the built in isight on 10/31. I am having a problem with the camera being recognized. When I boot up the computer sometimes the camera is recognized and sometimes it is not. I have to reboot sometimes 2-3 times and then it recognizes it again. I chatted with Apple tech on line and they seem to think in some way it is connected to the fact my ipod is connected as well. They have suggested i call the phone tech but that does not open for several hours. Shoould I just return it to the Apple store?
 
Have you Run Repair Permissions.

If so, then taking it to your local Apple Store would be your best option. Less frustrating. Also a quicker fix.
