Any ideas why the video camera on my imac is not working?

Does any one have any idea why the video camera on my imac is not working? I have been using skype on my imac for some time and recently I have discovered that it wont work, could this have anything to do with the mountain lion upgrade?

Have a look here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2090?viewlocale=en_US
I think I'd start with the SMC reset.

HI! any idea why the add videos on apple site are not loading on my computer?

You may have something as simple as a corrupt cache. Try resetting in Safe Mode and see if that fixes it. If not another thing to attempt is opening Disk Utility and Repairing Disk Permissions, do this action 2-3 times.

The problem of tracks becoming de-linked between iTunes and the music files in your iTunes music folder happens for different reasons - this seems to come up fairly commonly in this forum.
The solution can be to locate each song in the iTunes library, as you mentioned - or, but wait, before I get to that...
trouble finding the original track in your iTunes music folder? maybe look for it under compilations, or if not using the 'group compilations preference' then look in the folder under the songs artist name, but what song artist name iTunes uses depends on what you have in the metedata tag spot for album artist or song artist. Any varyation in artist name spelling, in the menu item 'get info' metadata for any selected individual track will cause iTunes to create that as a separate artist folder in the library, even names like 'various' or any difference at all (even the word 'the' can change where in your iTunes music folder a track gets placed by iTunes). You can try to use the finder function of find file (finder munu item outside of iTunes) to locate hard to find items.
Back to how to re-link any de-linked tracks .
There may be scripts that can help re-link de-linked music files - or, at least provide you a list of such files, Scripts are easy to install and use...
at Dougs Scripts, there is one called iTunes Track CPR that might work
http://dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/ss.php?sp=itunestrackcpr
or, if you just want a list of de-linked tracks, go to
http://dougscripts.com/itunes/
and find the script called List MIA's, this will create a text file listing all de-linked tracks
if you review the thread at
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3633708
also the thread at
https://discussions.apple.com/message/17513078#17513078
you may find more insight into dealing with this kind of issue there, although some of that thread may not apply to your case, aspects of it might help.
Good luck.

Any idea why the applets starts but nothing works?

I am 1 month old. Here is small training program that I am trying. Any idea why the applet is running but nothing works?
thanks

public class MoneyCollect extends JApplet implements ActionListener {

    public void main(String [] args){
        Container c = getContentPane();
        c.setLayout( new FlowLayout() );
        promt = new JLabel ("Enter number of hours");
        input = new JTextField (10);
        input.addActionListener(this);
        c.add(promt);
        c.add(input);
    public int calculateCharges(int hrs){

        total = 2*hrs;
        if((hrs>=3)&& (hrs<24) && (hrs != 24)){
        total = (int) (((hrs - 3) * 0.50) + 6);
        if (hrs == 24){
            total = 10;
        return total;
    public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
        int hrs = Integer.parseInt(e.getActionCommand());
        showStatus ("You have to pay:"+calculateCharges(hrs));
}

...because changing this:
public class MoneyCollect extends JFrameto this:
public class MoneyCollect extends JAppletdoes not create an applet. Get a beginning java book and start reading it. I recommend "Java2: A Beginner's Guide".
Or, you can read the following tutorial to learn why your program is not an applet:

If there are problems with updating or with the permissions then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the disk image (dmg) file to the desktop

Hi there bananas321,
You may want to try force closing all open apps and resetting the device as an initial troubleshooting step. Take a look at the articles below for more information.

HT4623 I bought iPhone 4S from Kurdistan Iraq while I worked there now I retired and came back to my country India. Few days ago the rear camera of my phone is not working, it's shutter is not opening. It's less than a year I bought it. What to do now?

I bought iPhone 4S from Kurdistan Iraq while I worked there now I retired and came back to my country India. Few days ago the rear camera of my phone is not working, it's shutter is not opening. It's less than a year I bought it. What to do now?

First try one of these methodes:
Try to restart your iPhone
Hold the power button and slide to turn off, then turn it on
if you still have the same problem then try the second methode:
Reset Settings of your device:
Settings>> General>> Reset >> Reset All Settings
Make sure you reset only your settings and NOT any other Contents
if you still have the same problem, so it seems to be a hardware issue, take it to the nearest Apple Store.
Kind regards

Video iChat on my iMac is not working

Video iChat on my iMac is not working. The i chat buddies screen is up all right. I can see my buddies' pictures on the screen. But I can't start the video iChat. It worked fine for a few years...suddendly it does not work???

HI,
In the Buddy list you can see the Video Chat green icon for your Buddy.
Their Buddy pic is also on view.
Clicking the Green Icon (Or highlighting and using the Video Menu > Invite to Video chat) does what exactly ?
Do you get to see your Preview ?
Does it say Connecting ?
Do you get any Error message or pop up ?
Have you changed your router ?
Have you allowed iChat through it ?

I have no idea why it stopped working. But why it failed does not matter.
Take it to an Apple Store or Authorized Apple Repair Center and have it assessed and see what it would take to get it working.

Have you tried closing the Camera app completely and seeing if it works when you re-open the app ? From the home screen (i.e. not with Camera 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Camera app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
If that doesn't work then you could try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
If neither fix it then you could try contacting Apple.

Any ideas why the second HOST call does not work???

Hi Folks.
I have written the following code which works fine in all but one respect.
The code creates a zip file on a server (Accessed over a network) hence the full windows network path name.
The call to host on the server works in terms of running the zipinvoices.bat file and the zip file is generated on the server in the correct location.
The prigram unit also generates the correctly formatted mailinvoices.bat file. However, the second call to HOST does not run/execute the mailinvoices.bat file. If I go to the server and run the mailinvoices.bat file directly, it runs perfectly and emails the file to me, no problemo.
Why does the second call to HOST from the client machine not run?
Any clues anyone???
Cheers
Simon Gadd

As a suggestion I'd put the Text_io segments into their own begin - exception - end sub-blocks within the main code. This way if Text_io does raise an exception you can catch it earlier as it may be able to recover - That is if it is a text_io exception.
Other than that you;ll have to step through in Debug.

Why are videos taken with a 4S suddenly not working properly when sent to non iphone users since the update?

Suddenly non I-Phone users cannot view videos anymore, they can hear the sound, but no audio. Iphone users are having issues viewing the videos too. This all started with the 6.0 update. Please fix it or tell me how to restore my phone back to the previous update, it is quite annoying.

Hello VintageShaay,
It sounds like you are getting some audio issues with the included Ear Buds when they are plugged in. I wanted to recommend these troublehsooting steps from the article named:
Troubleshooting iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch accessories
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2634
3. Disconnect and Restart
Disconnect the accessory and turn it off, if possible. Restart iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad by turning it off and then back on. When the Home screen reappears, reconnect the accessory.
4. Isolate
Isolate the issue to the accessory, if possible. Or, if available, try to reproduce the issue with another identical or similar accessory.
Examples:
If there is static coming from the left audio channel when using headphones, try connecting the headphones to a stereo, or try connecting a different set of headphones to the device.
If the device is not syncing when connected to the dock, try connecting it directly to the computer using the Dock Connector to USB Cable, or try another USB port.
6. Restore iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
Restore iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to its factory default state. You should rarely need to use this step with an accessory issue. If the issue only affects a third-party accessory, contact the manufacturer before restoring the device.
Also if that does not resolve the issue, try the steps from the following article:
Apple EarPods: Low or muffled sound
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4395
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,
Sterling
