Hi,

I am having some serious problems with my iMac mid-2011. When I lunch an application (FaceTime, Skype, OBS, Quick Time Video Capture, google chrome) they instantly crash when they try to use the camera. Google chrome also crashes randomly and when using youtube.

FaceTime crashes instantly, skype will lunch but when it accesses the camera it crashes.

This issue started occurring on Easter Saturday, I have never had this issue before. However, this originally happened with zoom but after updating the program is fixed itself. Updating Skype has not helped. Also, I had a Zoom call on Thursday and the person I called Is having these issues as well.

In system report under Camera is says "There was an error while scanning for video capture devices."
In the USB hub, it is displayed as FaceTime Camera.

When Running Mac 10.10 I tried
  • Resetting PRAM
  • Resetting SMC
  • Restarting
I then tried upgrading to 10.11
  • Reset PRAM
  • Reset SMC
  • Restarting
  • Updating Zoom - Worked
  • Updating Skype - Didn't work
  • Checking camera permissions in System Preferences > Security...
  • Force Quitting all applications in activity monitor
  • Fore quitting CameraAssistant in terminal
  • Creating a new admin user - Still occurs on all accounts

  • I have been unable to get the computer into safe mode it gets stuck loading and I can only access the Diagnosis tool over the internet. The Quick Diagnosis tool returns only a HDD temperature error (see below)
  • The Hard Drive was replaced a few years ago. During this camera ordeal, I realised the new HDD is non-compatible (the temperature sensor is inactive due to the SATA cable) however it has worked fine for years.
I don't care if the FcaeTime Camera doesn't work I can use a USB one but I need everything else to work.

Any help would be much appreciated,
Many Thanks,
Oscar
