can't say until we know what you tried..If you follow the troubleshooting steps in this article and no resolution is found, you need to bring it to an Apple store or AASP to have it looked at.  http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2090

  • Why doesn't my front camera work

    Why doesn't my front camera work

    Camera
    Camera isn't functioning or has undesired image quality
    If the screen shows a closed lens or black image, force quit the Camera app.
    If you do not see the Camera app on the Home screen, try searching for it in Spotlight. If the camera does not show up in the search, check to make sure that Restrictions are not turned on by tappingSettings > General > Restrictions.
    Ensure the camera lens is clean and free from any obstructions. Use a microfiber polishing cloth to clean the lens.
    Cases can interfere with the camera and the flash. Try gently cleaning the lens with a clean dry cloth or removing the case if you see image or color-quality issues with photos.
    Try turning iPhone off and then back on.
    Tap to focus the camera on the subject. The image may pulse or briefly go in and out of focus as it adjusts.
    Try to remain steady while focusing:
    Still images: Remain steady while taking the picture. If you move too far in any direction, the camera automatically refocuses to the center.
    Note: If you take a picture with iPhone turned sideways, it is automatically saved in landscape orientation.
    Video: Adjust focus before you begin recording. You can also tap to readjust focus while recording. Exiting the Camera application while recording will stop recording and will save the video to the Camera Roll.
    Note: Video-recording features are not available on original iPhone or iPhone 3G.
    If your iPhone has a front and rear camera, try switching between them to verify if the issue persists on both.

  • Why doesn't my web cam work

    I bought my HP netbook about the 27th Nov 2011, the web cam worked a treat, but during the x-mas week it started playing up and now doesn't work at all. Can you give me some info as to what to do about this problem. I have reset the computer to the original factory settings but the camera still doesn't work.

  • Why Doesn't the XIRR function work?

    In Excel if you have 5 records from a1:b5 then XIRR looks like this:
    XIRR(A1:A5, B1:B5) you get a nice neat answer like .35
    Here is a version that works in Crystal that would require manual entry of any new quarters numbers and dates-- and if you plug this into Crystal it works:
    (XIRR([1000000,-100000,-100000,-100000,-100000,10277.49,-100000], [DateValue(1999,2,1),DateValue(1999,3,1),DateValue(1999,6,1), DateValue(1999,12,1),DateValue(2000,3,1),DateValue(2000,6,1),DateValue(2000,9,1)]))*.100
    You do get a nice answer of something like .035.  But this is all done manually and I need it to function automatically when the report is refreshed.
    So you have a range for the currency and a range for the date fields. I need to simulate this in crystal. Crystal has an XIRR function, and with the arrays, I should be able to fill in the range, but am having difficulty getting it to work.
    After building the arrays, I made another formula to combine the arrays in the XIRR formula.
    I am down to this error now after getting this formula this far  --
    "Numerical method did not converge; try another value for guess."
    Here's where I am with the formula, although they don't want to use the guess part of the XIRR function - they just want to use the XIRR(number/currency, date).  Maybe you could pass this on too?:
    /{@Reset} for the group header (NOT using a repeated group header):
    whileprintingrecords;
    numbervar array x := 0;
    datevar array y := date(0,0,0);
    numbervar i := 0;
    numbervar j := 0;
    //{@accum} for the detail section:
    whileprintingrecords;
    numbervar array x;
    datevar array y;
    numbervar i := i + 1;
    numbervar j := count({table.groupfield},{table.groupfield});
    if i <= j then (
    redim preserve x[j];
    redim preserve y[j];
    x<i> := tonumber({table.currency});
    y<i> := datevalue({table.datetime})
    //{@xirr calc} to be placed in the group footer:
    whileprintingrecords;
    numbervar array x;
    datevar array y;
    xirr(x,y)
    The array works correctly.  So why do I get that error and why doesn't the XIRR formula work like they say it should?  Has anyone used this successfully in Crystal--maybe you could shed some light?
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    I am receiving that same error when the last item in the array is 0, otherwise all works perfectly.
    When I run the same group of numbers and dates in Excel it returns without issue.
    -265500.00,-690000.00,-570000.00,16814.25,-855000.00,-619500.00,55293.46,30411.40,15183.76,  0.00
    01-25-2007,03-06-2007,05-02-2007,06-29-2007,08-01-2007,08-24-2007,09-17-2007,03-14-2008,05-28-2008,03-31-2010
    =XIRR(A2:J2,A1:J1,-0.1)
    Is there a known bug in Crystal's XIRR function when the last value is 0? 
    Or a hot-fix that will repair this?
    Thanks in advance,
    Gary
    PS. I am using Crystal XI Product Version: 11.0.0.2495

    Why doesn't the "back" button work all the time in Safari?

    thanks for the reply. You prompted me to check and I realised it wasn't installed on my test laptop and opening in Microsoft Reader. I've installed it now and it works.
    My next challenge is to prevent the mailto: command opening Microsoft Mail instead of Outlook, but I guess every user will have a different default.

  • Why doesn't my VGA adapter work to connect my iPad2 to my projector. I haven't had any problems in the past?

    Why doesn't my VGA adapter work to connect my iPad2 to my projector. I haven't had any problems in the past?

    Hey MarieF-D,
    Thanks for the question. The following article provides basic troubleshooting steps that may help to resolve your issue:
    iOS: About Apple Digital AV Adapters
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4108
    Troubleshooting
    If you encounter an issue using the Apple Digital AV Adapter or VGA Adapter:
    Disconnect and reconnect the adapter from the iOS device and display.
    Connect directly to the TV, projector, or external display using a known-good VGA or HDMI cable.
    Remove any VGA or HDMI extension cables or converters.
    Note that accessories that convert a VGA or HDMI signal to other video formats (DVI, Composite, Component) are not supported.
    Ensure that you are using the latest version of iOS. Some Apple Digital AV Adapters require iOS 5.1 or later.
    Note: When using an Apple Digital AV Adapter manufactured before early 2012 with iPad (3rd generation), you may see the "This accessory is not supported" alert. Dismissing the alert will allow you to use the adapter.
    For optimal performance, you may need to adjust the video resolution or settings for your display. If your display offers an "auto detect" or "factory default" setting, you may be able to use these options to optimize video resolution and display.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

  • Will old iSight camera work with new Mac mini?

    will an old isight camera work with a late 2014 Mac mini? If so what adapters will I need?

    Matthewlopez wrote: will an old isight camera work with a late 2014 Mac mini?...
    Yes (if the old external iSight works.)
    Apple's long ago discontinued Firewire External iSights were great webcams, but they are old (as consumer electronics go) and some may have had pretty rough treatment. Even NOS (new old stock) items may have been damaged in storage or handling.
    If you have access to an external iSight, you can test it using the suggestions from this page: http://www.ralphjohns.co.uk/EZJim/EZJimpage4.html.  To reduce the possibility of conflicts for old Firewire iSights, I suggest you disconnect all other Firewire peripherals until you get your external iSight working with your mini. Then connect other needed items one at a time and test each to determine whether you can use any without conflict.
    If you are considering buying an external iSight now, a new webcam (with warranty) may be a better choice. Many available alternatives are listed here: http://www.mac-compatible-web-cam.com/
    If you want more examples of external iSight and newer minis, take a look at some of the results of this search for your question.
    Matthewlopez wrote: ... If so what adapters will I need?
    You will need a Thunderbolt to FireWire Adapter.  This adapter offers only a Firewire 800 connection.
    The Firewire connection on old external iSights is a Firewire 400 connector.  Therefore, you need some way to connect to the FW800 connector on your adapter:
    • To use the FW400 6pin-6pin cable that comes with iSight, you can use a 6pin-9pin adapter
      like one of these:

    • This Firewire 400-800 cable can work:

  • Will isight cam work on Skype?

    Hi all..
    I am totally out of my depth here as i normally only use my Mac for music. My question is will an isight cam work with Skype, and what else do i need to set up a chat.
    I have a ibook G4 with a 400 firewire port, 1 Ghz of memory, and would dearly love to chat to my niece.
    Sorry for asking total beginner questions but we all start somewhere. Any advice would be gratefully recieved.

    Yes. But, apparently, from reviewing the other comments posted, you do not want to upgrade to 10.5 for now. In Skype, open preferences and select iSight for audio and video. Sometimes there is reverb if the volume is too high using iSight audio - it is best to use headphones with microphone rather than iSight for the microphone (it works, but, best to have some distance from the computer speakers).

  • Lost my iPhone and why doesn't find my iPhone work

    Lost my iPhone and why doesn't find my iPhone work

    A friendly reminder: In order to use Find My IPhone Successfully, you need to 1. Turn on Location Services, 2. Lock Location Services (Using Restrictions in Settings, General, Restrictions) so that if some one else finds your IPhone, they can NOT turn off Find My IPhone And/Or Location Services itself! 3. Add your Mobile Me and/Or ICloud Account to your IPhone. 4. Lock Accounts (Again in Restrictions) from being changed or Deleted so that your Mobile Me And/OR ICloud Account can NOT be Deleted! 5. Look Up the Location of your IPhone Before Suspending Service to the IPhone, NOT after Suspending Service (simple common since applies here as well).

  • Why doesn't my duplicate frame work in photoshop 2014?

    why doesn't my duplicate frame work in photoshop 2014?
    I draw a figure in frame 0 then duplicate frame. After the frame is duplicated I move the figure over to make sure there are different frames but as soon as I check the first frame Ive noticed that both frames have moved together. So nothing has changed. Why?

    I always create the individual frames in layer groups first. So build what you need, break them up or duplicate them, position them where you want them and then create your frames by turning off all the layer groups or layers you don't need.
    Here is an example of one of my layer pallets:
    Each scene is a frame and I turn them on and off as I need them.

  • Why doesn't the CC app work properly?

    I've been using Creative Cloud for some time now and am really loving it, however I must say it is a source of annoyance that the Creative Cloud app just doesn't work properly.
    Firstly, I used it initially to download all my apps, then after an update those apps no longer appeared in the "Apps" list. Now only those that have been installed since that update appear in this list. Why doesn't the "Apps" list display all of the Adobe CC apps that I have installed on my computer?
    Why does it keep reinstalling fonts? I'm always getting "Lush Script Regular" and other fonts being added.
    It regularly comes up telling me that Dreamweaver and Premiere Pro need to be updated, but always I get an error, then the update request disappears.
    I'm regularly getting 4 files that it can't sync - even though they are the same files as others in the folder. If nothing else, why can't I say "Great, got the message". Also, why is the error message just "due to server error" with no advice on how to resolve it? Why is there a server error on only these 4 files?
    It seems to me there are still some teething issues with the CC app, but what I don't understand is why they aren't being resolved much faster, given that this is the portal to the service.
    Of course, given Adobe I doubt I'll get satisfactory answers – a little jaded with their responses. Anyway, thought I'd at least post the questions.  

    Questapo I am sorry you have been facing difficulties with your Creative Cloud experience.  I don't believe it will be possible to address all of your concerns in one discussion.  I would not be surprised if at least three of the issues are related to the same root cause.
    First in order for the applications to be visible are you regularly needing to delete the OPM.db file?  You can find this listed as solution 2 in CC desktop lists applications as "Up to Date" when not installed - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/aam-lists-removed-apps-date.html.

  • Why doesn't my default email work?

    Hey Ya'll,
    Quick question if anyone can help. I have a new MacBookPro, and LOVE it. My email was working great, but as soon as my free trial of .mac expired, I can't get my default email from my non-.mac account. Why doesn't it work and what do I do to get it working?
    Alisa

    Launch Mail and select preferences and reset your mail app to Mail. If you were using web-based mail with the trial .Mac account, I don't know if any of that's recoverable. Check the .Mac forum.
