… and remember the trick is to use the USB option. The built in iSight uses an internal USB connection. It confuses everyone because the old stand alone iSight camera was Firewire.
Hope that helps.

Firstly, if anyone on here has any Mac questions then please feel free to ask me, as I'm an Apple Mac engineer.
When you click on the camera icon Adobe Flash should come up with a request allowing access. If it doesn't then you need to check the settings. To do this right click on the camera window in the top left (to right click with a one button mouse hold down the CTRL key and click)....select SETTINGS, and then then click on the camera tab and make sure you've got USB Video class video selected.
This should be the same with a MacBook Pro.
Incidentally I'm using Safari but I'm sure the same procedure is relevant for other browsers....and if you're using Internet Explorer on a Mac or a PC, DON'T!

Well sort of
It depends on how it's "stopped working" and which iPod you've got. The Apple website has stuff to help
Also here is details on how to reset your iPod:
Also, you can reset it via iTunes (plug it into your Mac/PC and it's on the summery page of the iPod).
I also once called Apple about my iPod and their technical support was very good.
