A305-S6872 Web Cam Wont activate

Can someone help me on this... It says  (Webcam is either disabled or has failed Please Check Your Webcam settings)

Go to the control panel and uninstall the camera software, restart and then install it again.  Maybe that may work.

  • A305-S6872 Web Cam Wont turn on

    i just replaced my hard drive. did a clean install of w7. everything, and all the drivers work, exept the built in camera. i even downloaded the latest utility from the website, but it only installs the application, not the driver. i don't even see an imaging device on the device manager. when i manually try to add a imaging device, then i can't anywhere on the computer find a driver for the webcam to install it. if any one knows how to fix this problem, plz help.thank you. 
    p.s. i even checked the regestry. and there is no regestry for the camera at all.

    You say you did a clean install of 'everything' for Win7.  Then you say after that, you downloaded the latest camera utility from the website, which would seem to imply that you did NOT download all the latest drivers, patches and utilities from the Toshiba website, after you updated your Windows 7 installation.
    So, if you haven't run all the latest Win7 stuff from the Toshiba site for your computer, then try running these two patch programs first:
    Toshiba Registry Patch for Devices and Printers:

    Toshiba Patch Files for Windows 7:
    http://cdgenp01.csd.toshiba.com/content/support/downloads/patch_storage_TC00233600A.exe
    Then try to run the latest Chicony driver/utility again:

    Let us know what happens. Good luck!

  • May web cam wont post pic?

    my web cam wont post pics now?? Have a feeling my daughter did something???

    Hello jennifer2000000,
    Let's see if we can get your issue resolved. Before I can do that though I'll need to know what computer you have and if it has an internal webcam or an external webcam.
    Where are you posting pictures to?
    You said now, so am I wrong to assume that it used to work?
    What operating system does your computer run?
    Does the webcam work for video, but not stills or does video not work as well?
    If I have helped you in any way click the Kudos button to say Thanks.

  • Web cam wont start message says in use by another application

    Hello I have recently purchased the Creative LIve!Cam Optia and for some reason the person I am talking to can't see me but I can see them just fine. Every time I go to call someone on Skype I plug in my camera and when the person answers a message pops up in the call tab saying "video error cannot find video source , check to see if it is in use by another application". I have no idea what other application could be using it because I ended up installing most of what came on the installation Cd. I have tried everything from selecting tools on skype then hit options, then I clicked on video settings, then I selected Li've!Cam Optia as my web cam as opposed to selecting default web cam. Then the same message pops up again " Skype did not find preferred video source. Webcam could be in use by another application". The thing that really frustrates me is that sometimes it works perfectly find then it freezes and I try to restart the video and then I loose it completely! PLease help someone I have returned camera prior to this one I don't want to have to do it again for this one. Thank you.

    Two choices left - download iPhoto Library Manager - http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/ - and use its rebuild command - this will rebuild yoru library leaving the original untouched so you can go back to it is things do not make yo happy - this will keep your edits, metadata and events but will not keep projects
    If that does not work Right click on the iPhoto library and show package contents - look in the masters folder - are your original photos there?  If so (and if you have adaquate disk space) duplicate the masters folder and rename the iPhoto library "iPhoto library old" - depress the option key and launch iPhoto ancd create a new library - drag the masters folder to the iPhoto icon in the Dock to import your original photos with your events
    This will give you a new library with your originals - edits, projects and metadata changes will not be available
    And critically start Time Machine up and leave it running

  • Web cam wont work

    I just upgraded to the new Windows 10 and I cant get camera (webcam) to open pops up a screen saying  something went wrong  make sure your camera is connected  and not being used in another app. I checked and its not. Please help..

    If System Report / Hardware / USB does not list a camera, you have a hardware problem.
    Is the computer still under warranty? If it is take it to an Apple store. Check warranty here:

    Even if it is not under warranty, have it checked out at an Apple store. There is no charge for diagnosis.

  • Web cams in IE but not firefox

    The Hogs Breath Saloon web cam wont run on FireFox4. It runs on the older version no problem.
    Duval St web cam has the same problem. I like to keep an eye on Key West so I look at these every day.

    There are a couple issues here that might be the culprit. One is that the player is hidden using a variety of techniques and Firefox often suppresses hidden content because it can be annoying not to be able to control your experience with media. Another possible issue is that the embed tag doesn't specify a content type. Firefox appears to be guessing anyway, and in my case asking whether to activate the QuickTime plugin, but then nothing plays.
    To test what would happen if both of those were addressed, you can run this script using Firefox's Web Console. It grabs the address of the media and creates a new embed that is visible and specifies the content type. Here's how to use it:
    Select the following long line of code and copy it:
    function reEmbedMpeg(em){var el=document.createElement("embed"); el.setAttribute("type","audio/mpeg"); el.setAttribute("src",em.src); el.setAttribute("style","height:20px;width:200px;position:fixed;right:0;top:0"); document.body.appendChild(el);} reEmbedMpeg(document.querySelector("embed"));
    When viewing the problem page, press Ctrl+Shift+k to open the Web Console in the lower part of the tab.
    Paste the code next to the caret (>>) on the bottom line and press Enter to run it. A player should appear in the upper left corner, the progress bar should show downloading and then the content should play.
    Obviously it's not practical to hack every web page you find, but if this is your site or you would be interesting in contacting the owner, hopefully this post will help in getting this working in Firefox.

  • Why won't skype activate the web cam on my kindle ...

    Why won't skype activate the web cam on my kindle fire hd?

    The question has been answered but not that you like to hear.
    You have been using an iPhone since 2011 with an iCloud ID that is not yours, how do you explain that?
    I saw a message that said your phone was lost and erased, and I was asked to activate my iPhone with my Apple ID.
    Since you know it was lost but not by you, you have an iPhone that is not legitimate. Your receipt may get you out of trouble with the police but that doesn't make the iPhone yours.
    Activation Lock cannot be bypassed and  if the your story is true then you should sort it out with Best.

  • How do I activate web cam for Skype ?

    I have just received this as a gift but cannot operate web cam when trying to answer Skype calls, is this possible ? Thanks in advance !

    Whilst I appreciate your responding - I do not think this helps with what I was enquiring (at least not without further explanations anyways).
    I am aware of, and do use, the function - System Preferences > Keyboard > Text - for various replacements like (tm), (c), etc .... and also for fractions like 1/2, 1/4, 1/3.
    However, my question was in relation to SUPERSCRIPTS for dates / numbers - namely, superscripting numerical suffixes for things like 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th,
    So - please help - HOW do I set this up ? If indeed it is possible without System Preferences > Keyboard > Text ???

  • Hp TrueVision HD web cam does not work. The light will come on but no image appears in the window.

    Hi.
     I have an HP Pavilion dv7 6178us Entertainment PC I just bought it last week. My operating system is Windows 7 Home Premium Service Pack 1 64 bits.
    The problem I have is that yesterday I install Skype in the computer and realized that the HP TrueVision HD web cam does not work. The light right next to the web cam will light up but no image will appear on the screen.
    I have checked the software that  I have in the computer for the webcam and the program is CyberLink YouCam BE version 3.5.
    But the web cam does not work. The light right next to it will turn on when I activate Cyberlink, Skype or Messenger but no actual image will come out in computer screen. The computer is fully updated BIOS, Windows 7 and HP.
    But the web cam is not working. Could you help me fix this problem?
    Best regards:
    JEIO71

    I have a pavilion dv6 notepad. it's about a year old.
    about a month ago internal webcam truevision hd stop working.
    Called hp tech. they sent a box for me to ship the laptop.
    they hp tech attempted to correct the problem via internet
    did not work.
    wanted me to do a restore to factory setting i stopped him there.
    Webcam detected in device manager.
    the webcam light come on but no image.
    I actually see the back drop through the image space.
    running windows 7, fully updated.
    I found many comments on the web about the webcam connector disconnecting.
    But if it was the case with my computer, the webcam would not be detected.
    Many other comments suggests to do a restore to factory setting but \i read also that
    does not work often.
    I read many comments where disappointed clients believe hp should update
    the software but the driver is actually microsoft dating back to june 2006.
    Is it possible it's  a hardware problem, ie webcam is burned out.
    I have received a box to sent it and know they will do a system restore.
    Don't feel to go that way.
    Many comments refers to hp making an effort to get a driver update.
    ps I decided to purchase a logitech webcam, works perfectly.
    What else can I do to fix this problem.
    Can hp send me another internal webcam.

  • My mac mini wont activate screen saver anymore after the os x latest updated. how do i fix this?

    ever since the new update after ios6 came out, the screensaver wont activate after 5min like it used to. any reason why? can this be fixed?

    Couple of things it might br...
    Safe Boot , (holding Shift key down at bootup), use Disk Utility from there to Repair Permissions, test if things work OK in Safe Mode.
    Then move these files to the Desktop...
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.preference.desktopscreeneffect .plist
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.preference.desktopscreeneffect .plist.lockfile
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.screensaver.plist.lockfile
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systempreferences.plist
    Reboot & test.
    PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.

  • Web Camera difficulti​es

    Hello.. I have a problem with my web camera where I am not able to get it to work. It was always on and in the way in the past and one day I exited out of it, but I haven't seen in pop up since. I believe the program for the camera is Camera Assistant Software. When I click the program is says "webcam has either failed or has been disabled. Please check your webcam settings." Can someone help me here. Thanks. My laptop is the Satellite series a305-s6905. 

    Even though i have Qosmio X500 model, i see that i'm not the only one who's been having the camera problem.
    Besides the camera, mine microphone doesn't work either. Please check it and let me know.

  • Web camera Quit

    Please Help!  I'm a soldier away from home and I just want to see my family.  The last time I was gone (6 months ago) I was able to use my Web Camera on Skype.  I've never had problems with it.  I just called them on skype and now my Camera isn't working.  I tried run Camera Assistant Software and get a :Webcam is either disabled or has failed.

    If your webcam is working fine in other applications, except in Skype or Face Recognition, it is not a hardware problem. It is some kind of software or update problem. You could look at your Windows Update history, and/or try to think about any software, or software update, you may have loaded that might use the webcam and try uninstalling that.
    If nothing comes to mind, let's try to reload your core set of drivers, and your webcam driver/utility once more.  Download these drivers to your desktop and double click on them to install in this order:
    Intel Chipset SW Installation Utility for Windows XP/7 (32/64)
    Intel Rapid Storage Technology Driver for Windows XP/7 (32/64)
    Intel Turbo Boost Technology Driver for Windows XP/7 (32/64)
    Intel Display Driver for Windows 7 (64)(v8.15.10.1986)
    You need to check which sound driver you have, it could be either of these, load the appropriate sound driver next, then your webcam utility:
    Realtek Audio Driver for Windows 7 (32/64)
    nVidia HD Audio Driver for Windows 7 (32/64)
    Toshiba Web Camera Driver-Application
    Please let us know how it works out. Good luck.
