[QUOTE="LotusSeven, post: 349819, member: 28554"] Yes, exactly my thoughts. I have not installed any third-party apps. the use the camera (at least to my knowledge). Update: After leaving the iMac off all night and starting up cold this morning, the camera now works. Photo Booth loads correctly and System Profiler shows "USB High-Speed Bus - Built-in iSight> Version 1.84 Manufacturer Micron Product ID: 0x8501 Vendor ID: 0z05ac I've started almost all of my normal applications, and the camera still works! Last night the camera was not listed in System Profiler, and I powered down and restarted a number of times. Of course, I only waited 30 seconds to restart. I'm wondering if this is a thermal intermittent. the cooling slot on the iMac 24 is just below the camera location, and on my machine the exit air temperature is running 126deg. F. (inlet air temp. = 71 degrees). I'll continue to check the camera periodically during the day as the computer heats up. Again, thanks to everyone for your suggestions. [/QUOTE]
