Built in Camera wont work

Ive had this computer for about 6 months now and after enjoying using photo booth and a working camera for 4 months it wont work any more. Every time I open photo booth it says that the camera is either unconnected (unlikely) or its in use by another application. When i check to make sure that all other application are closed i still says the same thing. I've created new accounts on my computer to see if it will work but of course it dosen't. Is there any thing i can do to fix this? Or is it pretty much done for? Please help! thanks

Hello glamette
You've received some good advice above. At this point, if your problem remains, you can use the suggestions in Apple's How to Troubleshoot iSight to see if the iSight itself might be the problem. If so, you will need service by an Apple professional.

Ipod touch built-in speakers wont work anymore. please help

Like I said my ipod touch built in speakers wont work now yesterday I was able to hear and use them when I was using the pianist app from the itunes store and it worked fine and today I redownloaded the digidrummer lite app since my old one for some reason didnt work and once I did download the app I synced to my ipod and tried to play and noticed that no sound came out so I tried other apps and also my music and also no sound. with headphones connected it works fine sound comes out and all.

K, so last night I tried the home+sleep/wake button hold thing and reset it that way and also just normal shutoffs which didnt fix it and also tried the ideas that you guys said and no go. everynow and then it would make the sound when I unlock it. so i just left it on and let the battery die see if that would do something it got to 10% and shuts off i guess so then i charged it on my stereo system with an ipod dock and was listening to music then i disconected it and to my suprise it started playing through the internal speakers again. I was skeptical at first so I turned it off and tried again it worked. so i went to the app that I think caused the problem in the first place called digidrummer lite I was able to hear the drums tom toms etc went to the home menu tried again played that app once more but this time there was no sound. I went to my music and everynow and then it would play but fade out or not play at all. so I took digidrummer off and so far the speakers are working again but I will still need to test them more.

HP Mini 110-3700 built-in camera not working

I just bought my HP Mini 110-3700 (LV831PA#UUF) last january. I just tried using the HP camera twice to check if the image it captures is clear. Yesterday, i will use the camera for a video chat but the messenger said "Cannot detech the camera/ device is not connected).When I had clicked the link for the HP Camera it had open but the light indicator didn't have any light and the camera isn't working.
I already tried restoring the HP mini to factory settings but after that, the camera isn't working still. What should I do? Need help ASAP.

If you successfully restored (went through all steps without error) to factory settings/new iPod via iTunes (Not via Settings>General>Reset>Erase all Content and Setting) and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem.
Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store..

How do you get the built-in camera to work

I have a new 20" IMAC. I set it up and was not able to get the camera to work. When I go to IChat the microphone enabled is checked and black but the camera enabled is checked but grey. When I go to Phone Booth it says that there is no camera or not connected. All I would like to do is take a photo of myself. PLEASE HELP
IMAC 20 Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Go to Apps/Utilities/System Profiler. In the Hardware list go to USB. Does the built-in iSight show up in the USB High-Speed Bus?
If not, could be a hardware issue and you should call AppleCare to begin troubleshooting with them for possible warranty replacement/repair.

Built in Isight wont work with IChat

I have the New Macbook and i have used Ichat Video before but now it wont work, i get this message:this computer dose not support video conferencing
anyone help?

Adequate.
The Upload is acceptable.
iChat will fail at 50kbps (In Video chats with a message)
The Lowest Spec Apple Suggests for 1-1 Video is 100kbps
The lowest Apple Spec for 3 and 4 way Video chats is 384k but I have done passable ones at 256k.
If System Preferences > Quicktime > Streaming is left at Automatic in Leopard iChat reads this as 384k (it should be set to 1.5Mbps and iChat restarted if Changed)
Have you tested at different times ?
IS that the Best speed with the service you have ?
Is that speed near what they say they are selling you ?
The Speeds you quote should not get you the Too Slow Info message.
Is that Internet Connection shared with other computers ?
Were you doing a download ?
Both will effect the amount of the Speed (called Bandwidth) that you get.
Think of a Freeway as you enter a city in rush hour. It might be a road you can do the national speed Limit but you may not be able to go that fast due to other traffic.

My ipod touch 4g camera wont work because the shutter stays closed

My ipod touch camera shutter stays closed when i start the camera app. This has been happening for a while but if i reboot the ipod several times then the camera will work. I have rebooted it about 35 times now and the shutter still will not open.

If restoring the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod does not solve the problem the I would go make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store or call AppleCare. If you look at the right-hand side of the page with your post you will find other posts with the your same problem. They are under the heading More Like This.

G575 Windows 7 Home Premium activation problem and easy camera wont work

I have bought the G575 a month ago for my parents and everything was fine but yesterday i looked at the laptop and the camera was not working and the windows was not activated. I tried to activate it online by providing the windows key at the bottom of the laptop but it didn't work. Later i saw that the camera was not working and i tried to install the driver for it from the lenovo website and the installation failed saying that the device can't be discovered. I opened the device manager and tried to install the drivers trough the windows update and it failed saying that the drivers are found but the file is not found for the usb composite device. Any suggestions how the problems can be resolved?

Hello saso and welcome to community,
You need to enable the camera by Fn+Esc key and then install the camera driver.
If you have received the pre-loaded Windows 7 with the laptop it comes as activated. If there is issue with pre-installed Windows 7 then you need to reinstall the Windows with OneKey Recovery
Best Regards,
Tanuj
