In my case changing computers and rebooting or doing any of the things suggested by the logitech support page had no effect in making the camera functional again.

Relaunch the app that was attempting to use the camera.

Enter the administrator password when requested, this is required to execute a command with superuser privileges as prefixed by sudo.

Still at the terminal, issue the following command as well:.

Enter the following command strings exactly, then hit return:.Open Terminal, found in the /Applications/Utilities directory in OS X.Quit all open apps that may try to use the camera.Then this should work:įortunately, there is another trick that seems to fix the problem immediately using a command line force quit, and does not require a reboot: If your problem was like mine, the camera was obviously functional (seen in the system report as a miscellaneous USB) but just wont turn on because it is not getting recognized as a camera by your apps like Facetime, Hangouts etc. Navigate to the USB section and check to see if the webcam is listed as a connected device. The System Information window for your Mac will appear. Click on System Report from the pop-up window that appears. Click the Apple menu (in the top left corner of your screen) and then click About this Mac. While your Mac is in Safe Mode, check to make sure that your webcam is connected to your Mac.

Hold down the Shift key until the Apple logo appears.Test the device. Try starting your Mac into Safe Mode: Restart the computer while pressing the Shift key.Wait until the computer makes its second startup chime before releasing the keys. Turn the computer back on and hold down the Command, Option, P and R keys. Before you start it up, locate the following keys: Command, Option, P, and R. Make sure your Mac’s installed version of Mac OS X is completely up-to-date.

Click the Apple menu (in the top left corner of your screen) and then click About this Mac.Try connecting the webcam to another USB port on your Mac.
