OS X 10.8.5 update breaks Skype, G+ Hangout on mid-2013 Macbook Airs

Uh, I tried upgrading to 10.8.5 in the middle of nowhere with bad Internet and it broke my OS X install. Fortunately I have the installer mirrored in a different volume and installing OS X over the hosed volume fixed it.

Ran into the same problem with 10.8.4. Apparently it does not happen with 10.9…

I was wondering why I wasn't getting a video option on skype for days... grumble

I was able to get it working by replacing AppleCamera.plugin. See http://community.skype.com/t5/Mac/Camera-not-Working-on-MacB...

The Facetime camera doesn't work with 32-bit apps?

Facepalm

"As a workaround, use an external camera for 32-bit applications that require a camera on MacBook Air (Mid 2013) computers."

Genius.

Dear Apple,

Do not ruin the Macbook.

That is the last thing from you that I still have lots of respect for!
