X200s tried to add webcam - now neither webcam, nor thinklight will work

Hi all,
So, as the username hopefully indicates - a newbie to the x200s, which I bought recently, though I've been using thinkpad products for a few years now (a devoted fan!)
My x200s did not come with a webcam and, since I am thousands of miles from home, I reckoned I would try and install one manually. Note that I have swaped its HDD for an SD & changed keyboard in the past with no problem, so I was assuming (foolishly, perhaps!) that vaguely knew what I was doing.
I followed the instructions and user experiences on this thread, I purchased this camera - and got off to work.
Even though everything seemed fine when adding the camera to the system, a strange thing happened after I rebooted (I run Linux Mint 16): neither the webcam, nor the thinklight were now working. After lots of testing, I assumed I must have just destroyed part of the cable during installation, and so I purchased this cable (Lenovo ThinkPad X200 LCD Video Cable 44C9909) and tried again. Same result! The only difference is that the first time round, an "lsusb" command on linux would return a Ricoh product (and I assume that's the webcam), but it would still not be recognised by Mint, while now, there's nothing. In both cases, the Thinklight didn't work.
Since both the thinklight and the webcam come out at the same end (see the right end of the cable on this picture) I am assuming, of course, that the two are related.
Would anyone know which of the clips on the left end of the cable on the same picture, above, correspond to the webcam and the thinklight?
Thanks for reading, and any response and thoughts on the above would be most appreciated - a little bit at loss at to what to do now.

I cannot ope PDF files that are within a web link. Neither Safari nor Firefox will work. If I receive a PDF file as an email attachment, I can open it with either Adobe or Preview. I'm running 10.6.8 on an iMac.

I'm going to re-state this. Several weeks ago, I had installed Security Update 2012-004 on my iMac. I'm running Snow Leopard 10.6.8. Immediately afterwards, my Mail 4.6 was GONE. Mail 4.2 was there, but the system would not open it. The Apple Support Communites quickly solved my problem. The problem lay within the Update. Now, I cannot open PDF files that are contained within a website, i.e. a lunch menu that is on a restaurant website. This happens on both Safari and Firefox. If someone sends me an email with an attached PDF file, I can open the file with either Adobe or Preview. This is happening only on my iMac. My MacBook Pro, also running Snow Leopard 10.6.8 has not experienced either the first or second problem. Thanks for any help you can offer.

Neither FaceTime nor iMessage will work.

When I got my Apple iPod Touch 4G on Dec. 30th I was able to FaceTime and iMessage perfectly fine. It has been working until today. When I go on either one it shows the Get Started page. I hit get started and it takes me to the Apple ID page. I type in my password and it takes me to the E-Mail adress selection page. Then it sends me back after about 1.5 seconds. If I hit Next it immediantly sends me back. I have tried quitting them and turning off the iPod, but to no avail. What do I do?

Fixed it! I couldn't find any other people with this problem before, but after looking at some other threads in the more like this pane I found the answer - I just had to turn the "Set Automatically" option on in Settings! Who knew!

I just upgraded to Safari 5.1; now none of my mice will work correctly

I just upgraded to Safari 5.1; now none of my mice will work correctly on flash intensive websites (Evony); have reinstalled the latest version of flash, have emptied caches, have reset the first 7 items in the reset list, dumped preferences and restarted. Nothing works. And, to boot, 1Password no longer works. How can in reinstall the former version of Safari that I was not quite so happy with but at least things worked?
I am now going to have to use Firefox for the majority of my Internet time. PLEASE, can someone help me?

Ok, I kept on looking and back in 2009, a fellow had a similar problem with his iPod. He went to network settings., reset network settings to factory defaults, just like the apple guy told him... and it didn't fix it or so he thought....so he deleted an app from his phone that he had purchased to force it to place it back on when he used iTunes to resink his iSink or whatever. Anyhow his app then worked! He clicked on each of his other apps and Voila!! they all started working again. I did the above and it worked for me.
Who knows which step fixed it ... the reset of the network settings or the deletion of a single app to force the re-sync from iTunes. Guess it doesn't really matter...
I sure hope this helps someone out there with a similar problem and maybe they won't have to waste as much time on it as I did!

I'm trying tooo add music to an ipod but it wont work!

I'm trying to add music from a cd to my ipod but when I sync the Ipod for the music to go on it ..it doesnt go on my ipod..I tried everything I even called!!!!! HELP ME!

i had the exact same problem and the solution is quite simple rather than taking suggestions like Reinstalling Itunes or something complicated like that. what you do is...
1) Open up your Itunes
2) Go to your apple device at the top right corner of the Itunes application on your computer
3) Scroll to the bottom where it says "Options"
4) Check all of the boxes.. ACCEPT for the last box that says "Manually manage music and videos"
5) Double check that the "Manually manage music and videos" are UNCHECKED.
6) Now retry to sync your music.
HOW TO UPLOAD ALL YOUR MUSIC AT ONCE.
1) CLICK ON YOUR SONGS TAB WHERE ALL YOUR MUSIC IS
2) CLICK ONE SONG THEN PRESS "CTRL & A" KEYS AT THE SAME TIME THEN DRAG ALL THE MUSIC TO YOUR DEVICE AND FINALLY SYNC IT.
-HOPE THIS HELPS

Neither Pages NOR Preview will open

I recently upgraded to ML, but now both Pages and Preview will not open. When I try to open a file, or open the actual application, they look like they're going to, but then they just bounce in the launch bar for ages and I get the nice little rainbow spinner.
Pages I don't think ever has worked since the upgrade, but Preview stopped right in the middle of using it one day and I had to force quit it. I had one image open in it, and tried to create a new document from clipboard, which resulted in it hanging forever with the little spinning rainbow ball, and I had to force quit. Since then it has never opened. Like Pages, It bounces and bounces and never asks me to restore windows or anything. Then it stops bouncing and the little indicator remains under the icon in the launch bar indicating it's open, but if I have tried to open an image, there are no windows for it open. I have tried repairing permissions and restarting without success.

Ok, backtracking a little... because Preview is being stupid again. :-) It opens, but I get the same mess happening again every time I try to save an image. Throwing out the plist file for preview makes it immediately able to open files again. All I have done is crop an image and try to save it or export it. The export command does not even come up. The menu highlights as if it is going to but no dialog ever comes up. Preview at the same time becomes utterly unusuable. I have to force quit it, throw out the plist, and start again.
OK I trashed the Iwork '09 folder in application support. (I still had an Iwork '08 folder in there too and I trashed that.) Starting from scratch, reinstalling, then updating. If this doesn't work, then my husband is thinking, since Preview (something awfully integral to the OS) is so messed up that the next step will be backing up everything, wiping the drive and starting the entire OS from scratch. Sigh.

Why is Firefox suddenly blank - no address, search or tool bars, uninstall/reinstall d/n resolve--now only v 3.6 will work?

I was using the latest version of FF and last week the browser froze and when I restarted it was completely blank. I went through the help section, tried uninstalling, manually removing files, and reinstalling several different versions, but the only one that will work at this point is 3.6.28. Your help sections and non-existent customer service SUCK - I don't have days/hours to mess with this and will abandon FF altogether if adequate assistance is not promptly received.

hello, in principle does the picture/description in the article reflect the problem that you're seeing? i'm not sure how those addons would behave in firefox 3.6 which is outdated and no longer supported by mozilla...
please download and install the latest version of firefox (16.0.1 atm) from getfirefox.com and then try to follow the troubleshooting procedure in the article step by step (launch in safemode, then disable suspicious addons/or if not sure all of them). if this resolves the issue, it would also be interesting which extension were present in your case. thank you!

Neither Appleworks nor Office will run

My daughter's MacBook (OS 10.5) will launch neither Appleworks nor Office. They start to run, but then immediately quit and she gets the "quit unexpectedly" message. Text edit and NeoOffice both run fine.
I trashed the plist file and cleaned the recent items and autosave but the programs still wouldn't run. I have also repaired permissions.
I would guess this is a font issue, but font book shows no fonts with serious problems.
Any suggestions as to what I can do?
Thanks for any help/advice.
Dave

AppleWorks has more than just a plist to delete. See this user tip for more information.
As for Office, I don't use it & can't help. Maybe you can find help in the Microsoft Office forums.

you need to install the realtek and artheros drives for your computer. You can do this from your ubuntu install by chroot into arch, or by copying the files you need to your arch install and doing pacman -U
see this thread: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=46583
packages in aur: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php? … _Search=Go
I would suggest chrooting though, that is what I did to get networking working on arch. Often it will work out of box after updating everything.
how to chroot:
mkdir /mnt/arch
mount /dev/<device-or-partition-name> /mnt/arch
cd /mnt/arch
mount -t proc proc /arch/proc
mount -t sysfs sys /arch/sys
mount -o bind /dev /arch/dev
if you have other partitions for boot, home, etc mount those also.
example
mount /dev/<device-or-partition-name of boot> /mnt/arch/boot/
then
chroot . /bin/bash
you should be logged into the arch system in the terminal in ubuntu. You can then run pacman -Syu
please see: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Change_Root
Alright so I've successfully chrooted into my Arch install, however it appears my network is still being undetected:

Trying to add hotmail, now mail won't work.

Hello,
I downloaded the http plug-in so that I could access my hotmail in my mail app.
Now I have several problems...
-I followed the instructions (knowing I did it right because my boyfriend did it the same way 5 minutes before and it worked just fine) and my hotmail messages will not show up in mail...No matter how long I wait.
-When I open mail from my applications folder, or from my dock, the black triangle shows up under the icon (how it usually indicates an open program) but a window does not open. I have to go to file>new viewer window in order to get a window to show up (This did not happen before...I used to simply click on Mail on the dock and a window opened).
-When I try to navigate around mail, I get the spinning ball, and then mail freezes and I have to force quit. For example, I try to access mail>preferences (to see if I can figure out if the problem is with some setting), but it continually freezes.
So here are my qustions:
1)What do I do to get mail running properly again?
2)Can I delete the plug-ins that I downloaded? They downloaded to my desktop, I deleted the icons from my desktop...Would they also be lurking in some folder that I am not aware of?
3)Can I delete the set up for my hotmail account in Mail (So that I can start from scratch)?
4)Can someone tell me how to successfully access my hotmail account using mail?
I know that new hotmail accounts apparently do not work in mail. However my account was created in 2000. So I don't think this can be the problem.
Please help...This is driving my craaaaaaaaaazy!

Hi,
Thank-you. Your answer was helpful.
I did what you said and managed to restore the Mail application and get it up and running again without freezing. What a relief!
I tried again to download and install the plug-in.
When I download the 1.49 version. I run into the same problem again. Mail starts freezing. And if I click on file, the "add account" option is not highlighted/darkened...For some reason I can't access it. I tried trashing my preferences at this point to see if that would solve the freezing, and allow me to proceed and add an account. But that didn't seem to help.
I followed your steps again, deleted everything, trashed the preference file again, and started from scratch. This time I downloaded and installed the 1.48 version. Downloads and installs great. But I click on "add account" and http does not show up in the list for me to choose.
I have tried manually installing, and using the installer. I have also tried running it in Rosetta, which was suggested on the discussion forums for similar problems.
I am frustrated because it doesn't seem like it is a problem with adding my hotmail account. If it was just a matter of it not allowing me to do so (because of the hotmail restrictions) that's one thing. But before I even try to add the account I am running into problems. Almost like it is just the plug-in in and of itself causing the difficulty.
I don't know if you, or anyone else has any other suggestions. I appreciate you getting me back to where I was originally anyway.
Thanks!

I updated to FF 7.0.1 and now neither FF nor the profile manager will open, not even in safe mode. Did reinstall, then clean reinstall, still no help.

FF automatically updated to v7. Since then, it won't open. I've tried opening it with the taskmanager open, and firefox.exe appears under processes for maybe 2 seconds, then disappears. I did a reinstall, then a clean reinstall (after copying my profiles folder to a flash drive). Still no luck. Won't open in safe mode, won't open Profiles Manager. I tried to use my son's FF under his login, and it updated and also refuses to work. This is Windows XP.

Thanks for this mha007 - I can now open FF with a new profile. Can I copy my settings from the old profile or will this bring over the same problem, maybe a corrupt file. If it would bring the same problem, is there any way I can check which file is corrupt, apart from taking them over one by one?

I am adding songs to my ipod touch from my itunes library and a lot of the songs that i tried to add are faded on my ipod and will not play. it is like they weren't added to my ipod even though i can see it is there.

The songs will play in my itunes library but they won't transfer onto my ipod correctly. For some of the congs, I just have to locate the file and readd the song to itunes, but a lot of the songs, I don't know what the problem is.

This might sound weird, but here's an idea which worked for me re music that was newly added to itunes and showed up in my ipod but wouldn't play - I simply played the tracks in itunes first, just a second of time or so will do it, not the whole track, then connect the ipod and sync again and this time they played - hope this helps.

Critical Kernel error while on windows partition, now neither mac or windows will boot help ?

Hi I was on my windows side of my mac when i got the blue-screen-of-death with something saying Critical Kernel Error, weird noises from the speakers and the macbook pro did a hard shut off.
Since then I can no longer boot into the mac or windows side (both are stuck infinitely loading). I ran disk utility on the mac side and I have an "Invalid Node Structure." Which disk utility cannot repair. I do have DiskWarrior on another mac to try and rebuild the mac partition through a firewire connection - i think that is the correct course of action ?
But does this mean my windows partition is likely gone or any idea what went on ? As I am terribly confused that while on my windows side I had an error that messsed up both partitions.
Or what to check for so this hopefully doesnt happen again if it is a hardware problem? My drive smart status is listed as "OK" and I cant seem to run the Apple Hardware test as upon attempting to get into it the laptop just shuts off while loading it, although I read somewhere the Apple Hardware test is no longer preloaded on macbook pros.
The system in question is a 15" macbook pro bought around July 2011.
Thank you,
Wes

Alright I have both my mac side and windows side repaired and functioning fine. Should I still be concerned ? Linc I know you are saying this is a drive malfunction but is there a way I can be sure ? I still cannot run AHT (restart, hold down D), and my laptop shipped with Lion installed so I believe it should run. It just boots into the mac side when I hold D..
