Use your tweezers to remove the defective iSight camera from your iPhone 5s. Take notice of the small rubber spacer that sits above the camera assembly. If it became dislodged, be sure to reposition it correctly before installing the new camera. Replace the rear iSight camera with the new one and re-connect it. I also have MacBook 2,1 (2006). I have yet to try CloudReady but I'm pretty sure that the iSight camera won't work without a fix. Because I just read that in Ubuntu it happens too, and there is a fix for that. I'll post some link here, probably they'll help in understanding the solution for CloudReady as well. Check the following.


Works for me:


The error message 'There is no connected camera.' comes up when the iMac, MacBook, MacBook Pro or MacBook Air detects an issue with the camera's connection. The problem appears to be with VDCAssistant, which is the process or daemon that is responsible for the built in iSight camera. Killing this process often fixes issues with the built in web-cam.



To Diagnose ‘There is no connected camera.'



First check If The OS recognises that the camera is installed by doing the following:


Ipad format tool.


Apple Isight Camera Specs

1. Alt + Click on Apple (Top Left)

2. Then Alt + Click System Information

3. Under Hardware in the Left Column, click Camera

If no camera appears, then there may be a hardware problem, such as a lose ribbon connection on a laptop, so it is a trip to the Genius Bar or your local Tech Support.



How To Kill the VDCAssistant Process



Isight Camera Fix

If the camera is recognised then it is possible that the VDCAssistant process has stalled. To kill the VDCAssistant ~(and AppleCameraAssistant)~ and any associated processes, close all applications1 that use the camera such as Photo Booth, Face Time or Skype. Then carry out the following steps:

Isight Camera Not Working



1. Open the Terminal application: Click on the Spotlight search and enter Terminal, and then select Terminal – Utilities.

2. Enter **sudo killall VDCAssistant** in the Terminal window and hit Return (and(?) **sudo killall AppleCameraAssistant**)



3. If the Password prompt appears, enter your password, followed by Return.

Open Photo Booth and see if the camera is working. The green camera light should be on



Still ‘There is no connected camera.'?



If the camera has now been restored, then the process has been killed and then successfully restarted. You can also kill the process by restarting the machine, although that is not always convenient. If you still get the error message 'There is no connected camera.', then the quick fix did not work, and there is a more challenging problem to deal with. In this case it is off to the Apple Genius Bar2 or your local Tech Support.



Notes: although not recommended, it is possible to do this with the application(s) running, as the VDCAssistant process will restart automatically.
