Help! isight doesn't work in the morning, but work in the afternoon...

Hi everyone, I am almost mad with my isight.....I found when I start the laptop in the morning, it doesn't work, it shows"there is no connected camera". But I keep using the laptop for several hours until the afternoon, then I open the isight, it turns out working as normal.....as long as I restarted, it doesn't work again, until waiting for several hours.....I tested these for several days....so strange.
I tried all the ways mentioned in the "troublesome isight", none of them work. Should I reinstalled the systems or send it to the technical support?
Thank you so much in advance for you replying!

Welcome to Discussions, xiqing
I understand that you have tried all relevant suggestions from http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2090
Restart your Mac and try the PMU/SMC reset one more time. If properly resetting your SMC does not resolve your problem, I think your problem you describe is a hardware one that will require professional service by your Apple-Authorized Service Provider.
You could try reinstalling Snow Leopard and applying the 10.6.4 Combo Update, but I do not believe that either could resolve the problem you describe.
*Be sure to backup all your important data files immediately before sending or taking your Mac for service*. When you retrieve your Mac after the work is complete, ask the AASP to show you that the camera is working before you leave the store.

HELP!! WRT54G2 works for one computer, but not for the other

I have a WRT54G2 and it is connected to 2 computers. The internet works in one computer, but not on the other. The tech support said i needed to configure it or firmware or something like that. But my product is out of warranty and I really need the internet on the other computer as well. Please Help!!!

As your one computer is working fine then there is no problem with the router so far...
The computer which is not working...check the IP Address on that...
Click Start >> All Programs >> Accessories >> Command Prompt...A black box will appear(Command Prompt)...In the Command Prompt window type ipconfig and press 'Enter'...Look for Ethernet Adapter Local Area Connection IP Address , Subnet Mask and Default Gateway...
IP Address should be 192.168.1.x, Subnet Mask : 255.255.255.0, Default Gateway : 192.168.1.1 (assuming your router is 192.168.1.1)...
If you get the above mentioned IP Address, Subnet and Gateway Address then you should ping the Gateway, type ping 192.168.1.1 and press Enter...If it gives you request timed out then disable any firewalls, security softwares on the computer...
If you get 4 replies then type ping 4.2.2.2 and press Enter, if you get request timed out, then you need to upgrade your router's firmware...If you get 4 replies then type ping yahoo.com and press Enter...If you get replies for Yahoo then you should get the Internet after adjusting the browser settings...
Adjusting Browser Settings : Open an IE, click Tools >> Internet Options, then delete all files, cookies, history, forms...Goto "Connections", make sure Never Dial a Connection is checked, click on LAN Settings and make sure all the options are unchecked...Once you are done click on O.k...Close the IE and re-open it...
If yahoo times out then provide static DNS on your LAN Connection...
Click on the Start button >>> Settings >>> Control Panel >>>Network Connections- Right click on the icon for Local Area Connection and go to properties- On the 'General' tab select 'Internet Protocol TCP/IP' and click on the Properties button- Select 'Use the Following DNS Settings' Preferred DNS 4.2.2.2 Alternate DNS - 192.168.1.1>>Click on Ok button to Save and Click on "Close" on main Properties window...You should be able to go online...

Do you see a red light shining in the headphone port?

I've twice tried to use iTunes match. It stalls in step 2. I've rebooted my Mac computer and still stalls. Apple's taken the $25 but not delivered the service. Can I get some personal help?

I've twice tried to use iTunes match. It stalls in step 2. I've rebooted my iMac computer and it still stalls. Apple's taken the $25 but not delivered the service. Can I get some personal help? There are 12,733 songs, a few dozen of which are not going to be in the Apple music library because they are unique to my collection. Also, some titled "Track XX" and no artist. I assume these would either not upload or else just be uploaded. But, after an overnight of step 2, the iTunes match program was still on song number 7384 or 12733 (it was on that number for over 12 hours). Looking in the music library, activating the iCloud icon and status fields, there were hundreds of songs with the status "waiting."

After taking my late 2009 15 inch macbook pro to the apple store, the genius completely erased my computer and reinstalled the Mac OS X software, but the problem still persists.
I also took it to my college tech support center, they tried to take the ram out and reinsert it and clean up the dust, but the problem still remains.
I am able to use my computer in Safeboot mode (only)
Well it could still be a software problem if you installed a third party program after the OS X wipe and install, because by booting into Safe Mode it disables certain functions of OS X and hardware. Check for updates or problems for all your third party software, include everything, including menulets, System Preference panes, hacks and so forth.
If you restored any sort of software from backup like TimeMachine, it likely was corrupted data and now is returned.
If the college tech support found a lot of dust clogging the rear exhaust vents behind the fans, then likely the heat damage done to the machine has already occured and can't be reversed. Video cards are usually first to go, which Safe Mode does disable the video card somewhat.
Run through this list of fixes, it's systematic in nature, also has a Hardware Test to see what's going on

Too bad this is occurring to a mere 4 year old machine, but dust will do that. Here is the culprit that Apple doesn't tell anyone about.

Hi there Fgonzalez2015,
You may find the camera troubleshooting steps in the article below helpful.
Get help with the camera on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
You see a closed lens or black screen
If you see a closed lens or black screen when you open the Camera app, try these steps:
Make sure that there’s nothing blocking the camera lens. If you’re using a case, try removing it.
Force the app to close, then open the Camera app again.
Restart your device, then open the Camera app again.
If your device has a front and rear camera, try both cameras by tapping the camera swap icon . If you see the closed lens or black screen on only one camera, take your device to an Apple Retail Store or Authorized Service Provider for more help.

The scroll function on my mousepad is disabled when viewing a pdf file in firefox version 5.0. The scroll works on the pdf, but not on the other tabs. When the pdf is closed, the scroll function returns to normal. Any ideas?!

Hey thanx for the help, it worked like a charm.
I think firefox changed the application lay out, as I used to be able to choose my PDF opener from the list at " Adobe Acrobat Forms Document' where I could choose Nitro-PDF reader, but it has now moved all the way to the bottom like you suggested to the obvious place of "Portable Document Format" section.
If someone didn't tell me , I wouldn't have scrolled all the way down to be able to find it... it really should be with all its cousins up the top...
Cheers again..

Ichat works for me when I'm in the US but not in the UK. In the UK it is like watching a tape played at about 1/10th speed.

iChat works for me when I'm in the US but not in the UK. In the UK it is like watching a tape played at about 1/10th speed. I have O2 broadband (who decline to help as they "do not support third party software").

Hi
In iChats prefs click on video and change bandwidth limit to 500.
Restart iChat.

I input a command from my workstation using ISE

Error:
The input object cannot be bound to any parameters for the command either because the command does not take pipeline input or the input and its properties do not match any of the

The Exact same command from the Server works.
In my profile I have the following:

Why does the command work on the server but not on the workstation?

Hi Tiri2014,
There are some differences between Remote PowerShell and Exchange Management Shell. You cannot use the pipeline when you run some cmdlets by using Remote PowerShell.
Here’s a link to similar case for your reference:

for the command”

Hi,
My outlook stopped working on my imac but works on iphone, can anyone help?
This seems to happen periodically.
Thanks,

Sorry meant my Mail has stopped working on my iMac. It had large items in the Outbox from last weekend. I guess it just got its knickers in a twist as I deleted the large emails, containing video and now it is working again.
Thanks for coming back to me tho. Appreciated.

Javascript doesn't work on safari desktop but works properly on Safari ipad. I already cleaned a cache without success

javascript doesn't work on safari desktop but works properly on Safari ipad. I already cleaned a cache without success. IE, FF and Opera are working well

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)

I have seral email accounts on my Mac. One does not work on the Mac but works on my iPad and iPhone. The account information was added on the Mac. I keeps rejecting my password.

You don't input the information in manually for iCloud mail. It is automatically set up for you when you sign into iCloud via System Preferences and choose the Mail checkbox. Sign out of iCloud or deselect Mail in iCloud preferences. Open Mail's preferences and choose accounts tab. If iCloud account still exists in the list, delete it. Sign back into iCloud or check the box for mail. The account will be auto created for you.
