The camera is built into the iMac. Would unplugging the computer help?

No, don't unplug it. That won't make any difference (because you will have turned the computer off anyways, right?). Does the app "Photo booth" work?

Nope......same message......camera in use by another application. I shut down & restarted to be sure nothing is running. Still same response.

Hmm.. there's an ancient thread about an iSight camera with the same error.. apparently, re-installing quicktime fixed it. Try downloading and re-installing quicktime.

Do you suggest trashing the old Quicktime first, or re-installing over it?
