I want to extend my apologies to those of you who loyally came to our site every day only to wake up one morning finding that your computer would no longer connect to your webcam. Well as it turns out there appears to be a compatibility issue with the latest version of Flash for Mac OS X. The solution (as I have tested) is to downgrade your Flash. I will guide you through the steps in this post.
If you are experiencing the problem as described above, and fiddling with the Flash settings hasn't solved the problem, you are likely running Flash 10.1.102.64 (or 10.1.103.19 for Chrome). You can verify the version of Flash you are using by visiting http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/. What you want to be running is Flash 10.1.85.3. So here we go:
1. Download the flash uninstaller here: Flash Uninstaller.
3. Download the Flash 10.1.85.3 installer here: Flash 10.1.85.3
5. Visit http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ to verify that you are running 10.1.85.3
6. Verify that flash has access to your camera.

I tried this on two notebooks and it hasn't solved the problem.
Kyle,
What browser are you using, and when you visit http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ does it say you are using 10.1.85.3?

And we're back up!
Please. I am begging you to get the FaceBook plug-in working. It is -the- reason I joined DMS, and as it continues to be ignored, my reasons for returning slowly dwindle away.
Frequent bug reports and feedback messages have gone ... unnoticed?
Please fix this issue. I would be one seriously happy DMSer.
Thanks for your time.
The Facebook plugin is a few items away in our list. Almost there :)
Hi there, tried it all; my cam is still not visible to DMS, when checking flas for the version, it tell me I still operate under .84one, even though I uninstalled twice and intstalled the recommended one twice.
Really don't know what to do now!
