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!

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.

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?

Camera wont turn on.

Hi,
Camera wont turn on. Thought it was the rear camera, because Torch app dont work, an that uses the flash. so bought genuine Apple rear camera re-placement, fitted it, camera still not working. The camera icon works, but the camera don't open.
can someone help with this please.
Thanks

Reset, Restore. If the front screen has been replaced there is chance capacitors near Front Camera were damaged. Usually for Back Camera to work, Front Camera must initialize correctly first, so it could all be Front Camera problem. Also there are water damage susceptable power IC for Back Camera and the Flash which could be damaged. Also the new Camera could be faulty. Try a known good working Back Camera. Curious where you bought a Genuine Apple part, Apple does not sell parts.

Battery wont charge and isight camera wont turn on-macbook, battery wont charge and isight camera wont turn on-macbook

i bought a macbook from a guy and when i started it up... surprise it wont turn on if its not connected because the battery is not being detected.... then what i checked first was photobooth surprise the isight camera is not working... i searched in internet about smc but i do not understand it.... is there a way to recover it using the cd?

Try resetting the PMU - Resetting MacBook and MacBook Pro System Management Controller (SMC). If you have no success then you'll need to take it in for service or replace the AC adaptor if it's gone bad.

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.

Satellite A505-S6973 Web Cam won't turn off

I recently signed up for Google Chat with the option to use the Video Chat feature. Ever since I can't get the web cam to turn off, even when I'm not even logged on the Internet! I don't like having the little light shining in my face every time I turn on the computer.
How can I turn off the camera when I'm not using it?

If you can get it to boot up again, I'd suggest doing a restore to out-of-box state to see if you have a hardware issue or software. If after restoring it to out-of-box state you are still experiencing problems, it is likely hardware failure (i.e., cpu, hdd, motherboard, etc.).

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.

In the Sun Seeker app, the camera wont start in 3d view?

When the Sun Seeker app is turned on and 3d view is selected the camera wont turn on. all I see is a orange "ether" that holds the data for the sun path. I find nothing in the settings that would affect this as a setting.

You will not get more help by reposting the same question. Do as I suggested the last time: post the content of the server log. Is it so much effort to figure out where this file is and copy paste the content here?
