Hey, so I recently followed through with the guide found here () on putting Hackintosh on my Mini 10v. However, it appears that the webcam is not getting treated properly since Skype, Photo Booth, etc all say that no camera is detected (though the microphone is picked up). I've reused the NetbookInstaller three times hoping it was a simple kext issue, but still haven't resolved it. Any advice you guys could give would be greatly appreciated!

If you have the old mirror friendly kexts installed they can cause issues. You might try removing them if you installed them and see if it fixes the issue.

I had the same problem, what version of NBI are you using? Cause I used 0.8.3 Final, and it ended up working for me again.

FWIW, Photo Booth wouldn't detect my webcam despite running NBI 8.4 RC1 a multitude of times. Since I had set up a dual-boot I tried running Skype on Windows 7 and that worked fine. I then booted back into 10.6.4 and it magically worked.

what do you see when you>> about this Mac>> more info>> profiler >> usb>>? that should tell you if your web cam is being registered at least..


did you webcam in M$ when you first bought it, seems to be best practice.

here is a script that will let you use "bash" commands to test your cam's operation.

If there isn't anything un USB, what would people suggest?

It was there, and I updated OSX to 10.6 and added the bluetooth card at the same time.

I think adding the BT may have killed it.

EDIT - Fixed it. Shutdown, pulled out power cable, held down power button for 10 secs, plugged in power cable, switched on. It's alive!

* Bump *

Have there been any updates on this ? I'm having the same issue on my Dell mini 10v. The camera shows up in System profiler, sound is registered, but Apps say there is no camera installed...

Thanks in advance !

• OS X 10.6.7
• NBI 0.8.5 Pre

Experienced that exact same issue - recently had to rebuild the my Dell Hackintosh due to problems with 10.6.8. Decided to start with a clean build from 10.6 up; by the way I had considerable trouble utilizing the Combo Updates so I went step at a time: 10.6 to 10.6.4 (here I used the Combo); 10.6.4 to 10.6.5 to 10.6.6 and then final 10.6.7 and stopped. No point going to 10.6.8. However, after getting the system running to include the BT I found the webcam was not longer working. I knew the Dell had a terrible quality webcam so assumed it just broke and was about to purchase a new webcam until I came across the above info.

I checked the Profiler and sure enough the Camera was listed as operational under the USB; I didn't think unplugging the Power Cord, depressing the Power Switch for 10 seconds, plugging the Power Cord back into the Dell and powering up the system would work. Low and behold it did work. Tested the webcam out in Photo Booth and it is working.

I just couldn't believe it - but, hey, it worked. Thanks for the information, Bibbs. It saved me several dollars not purchasing a webcam.
