Built in Video Camera or USB Video Camera Have Stopped Working

Both the built in video camera as well as the USB plug camera have both stopped working and I cannot figure out why.  Of course I am a computer illiterate so that doesn't help.

    I downloaded a new version of Itunes on my PC now some songs and videos have stopped working as well as ringtones have disappeared.

    I've been working on this all day!!! I've tried everything I know of and can't get it to load either. Sounds like lots of people are having problems. Here is what I have so far...I have uninstalled EVERYTHING on my pc from apple and reinstalled itunes to no avail. I have tried all sorts of things I've read as fixes online. NOTHING has worked. Here is something interesting that i have noticed though. my main pc (which is the one i have always managed my itunes account with for years) is a 32 bit system running windows 7. Yesterday I installed itunes for the first time on my new netbook which is a 64 bit (windows 7) system and it works just fine. i have three other laptops (all window 7) in my household that are all 64 bit operating systems and ALL have updated to 10.5 and THEY ALL work fine. this is FOUR 64 bit systems ALL updated w/10.5 that work and ONE that is a 32 bit that will not. Can't get any help from apple. their suppot *****! I want to get someone on the **** phone or a live chat but cant. *** APPLE????? please let mw know if you find SOMETHING i can try next. I'm out of ideas and patience!

  • My camera on my iPad 2 has stopped working for the second time.

    My camera on my iPad.2 has stopped working for the 2nd time. Last time it just started working again after a couple of months.
    I have tried closing the camera app completely & also re-booting the iPad completely but to no avail.
    Any ideas anyone?

    You'll first need to have iTunes on your computer - from the summary page (the one that opens when you select the iPad in iTunes) it'll give you options for backing up and restoring it. On that page just select 'restore iPad' and that'll get it started.
    Hope it's just software then, those out-of-warranty replacements can get pricey.

  • The front and back camera on my itouch second generation stopped working. Any thoughts on how to fix it?

    The front and back camera on my itouch second generation stopped working. Any thoughts on how to fix it?

    First, try to reset the device by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again. You will not lose data by resetting.
    If this does not work, set it up as new device again, explained in this article:
    How to back up your data and set up as a new device
    If still no luck, get it serviced, the issue might not be software related.

  • USB ports and sound have stopped working

    As the subject reads, all 3 of my USB ports have stopped working and all sound.  In the device manager I receive a (code 10) for realtek high definition audio.  I have done everything I can think of at this point, I have even done a complete OS reinstall. Afterwards I have also updated with every possible driver file I can find from realtek and toshiba, I really don't know what else to do at this point, any thoughts? advice? anybody else with this problem?

    Same here. I have an L505D that is doing the same exact thing. No sound device, all USB ports not working and the SD card reader not working either. Also when you close the lid and reopen it, the machine won't wake up. Have to restart to get it to come back. Haven't found ANYTHING in forums to help.
    Sound devices, USB ports and SD card doesn't show up in the Device Manager.
    Took the laptop to a local fixer-upper. Unhooked the charger, took battery out, put battery back in, then restarted the laptop without being hooked up to the charger and everything came back on. But only for a short while. After a couple of days, it does its thing all over again.
    Are we looking at a mother board issue here? SURELY someone out there in cyber space has a solution.

    Hopefully the SMC reset works otherwise it may be a Logic Board issue.

    Shut down the computer.
    Unplug the computer's power cord and ALL peripherals.
    Wait 15 seconds.
    Attach the computers power cable.
    Wait another 5 seconds and press the power button to turn on the computer.
    The 5 second timing is important to a successful reset.
    PRAM RESET
    Zap the PRAM
    Shut down the computer.
    Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
    Turn on the computer.
    Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
    Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.

  • 17" MBP Left side usb ports and audio stopped working

    Hello All,
    I have a situation here with my MBP. A couple months ago it stopped detecting my airport card (not installed), I replaced it with another one which still showed as not having a card installed. So, I have just been using a usb wifi adapter which has been working fine, but recently the 2 usb ports on the left side have stopped working as well as I lost any sound. I've tried with or without headphones, still no sound it just shows a greyed out speaker and a circle with a line through it when I try to adjust volume. My initial thought was that the left I/O board was bad, but the dc-in board continues to work which, I believe, is part of the left I/O board. Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated!

    Is the machine at least 4 years old?  If it is symptoms you are getting is a sign the PRAM battery is about to go.  Get it replaced.  If not, try zapping the PRAM.

  • I have a mac book pro that both USB ports have stopped working one about a year ago and one recently. Is it possible to connect to another one of the other MBP's  ports with a cord that ends with a USB port?

    I have a mac book pro that both USB ports have stopped working one about a year ago and one recently. Is it possible to connect to another one of the other MBP's  ports with a cord that ends with a USB port?

    Thank you For your time and thoughts!
    I went by the Apple Store and they told me that there was a "Flat Rate" repair service for this particular part where they would replace the logic board along with the USB ports for $350. Seems like best avenue. All of this would have been moot but my wifi in the computer also doesn't work so I was using my phone as a hot spot and tethering it to the computer for Internet access when the last port quit. This left me with no internet and no printing capabilities on the computer I use for my business. Basically became a nice paperweight. lol
    They will ship it off Monday and I should have it back Thursday!
    Again, thank you!

  • USB ports have stopped working on my 975 power up platinum

    For some reason the usb ports on the mb & the front of the case antec p160 have stopped working, I have not added anything new or removed anything, the firewire ports are still working though. I have tried removing the usb root hub  restarting the pc and letting windows reinstall the driversbut it does not make any difference. Does any one have any idea what the problem my be.

    He means what is in the thread labled "If you're having problems with USB ports, read on...  "
    The USB issue has followed several boards. Here is a quote from a post I've made on the subjetct.
    Quote from: Frankeputer
    Check to see if there is a wire running from your Front USB ports to the #10 slot of your USB block which connects to the motherboard header.
    USB connector block layout which corresponds to the pin layout on boards with the Intel spec for USB. Do not cut the pin on the MOBO. You are removing/cutting the wire to the connector block from the case.
    2 4 6 8 10(this wire, #10, not needed)     
    1 3 5 7 9(filled/key)
    If you find a wire leading to the #10 spot on the block, remove that wire. My block has tabs so that you can pull the wire out, or you could snip/cut the wire leading to that position--if you cut the wire, be careful to cut the correct one and cut it in such a way that it may be repaired if you make a mistake.  Make sure you wrap the wire, the exposed end/s, you remove/cut with electrical tape so as not to accidentally cause a short. I actually folded the wire back and wrapped it.
    2 posts to read--Here and Here.
    This seems to be a common issue involving many different case manufacturers. I don't know how it applies to other MOBO manufacturers, but in these forums it is not limited to a specific MSI model or supported chipset(Intel or AMD).

  • My camera on my iPhone 3gs has stopped working.

    My camera will open, but will not take pictures. Also the photo app will open, but will not show me any of my pictures. This worked immediately after updating to iOS, but stopped working all of a sudden. I have tried turning off and on several times, and also restoring and reupdating. Nothing seems to be working.

    same problem here. exactly same symptoms. lots of users have this problem. no solution so far.
    same problem with third party apps like bar-code-scanning, receipt scanning etc... so it is not only the camera app. it is about the camera itself. not hardware again, because it stopped working without falling or drowning...

  • Whenever i open a youtube video, firefox goes really slow and often stop working. Any suggestions?

    I have installed the plugin extension, but still whenever a youtube video is on firefox is like drop dead.
    Stop working and lag awfully.

    There are some compatibility issues between the latest Flash player and some Firefox add-ons or settings. Could you see whether anything in this article helps: [[Flash 11.3 doesn't load video in Firefox]].
    You might also consider disabling the new protected mode in Flash 11.3. See this support article from Adobe under the heading "Last Resort": [http://forums.adobe.com/message/4468493 Adobe Forums: How do I troubleshoot Flash Player's protected mode for Firefox?]

  • Camera hardware on Macbook Pro suddenly stopped working

    Yesterday I was in the middle of a FaceTime call and suddenly my camera stopped working. I restarted my computer and the camera worked temporarily, then just as suddenly it stopped. When I restarted again, no camera was found.
    I checked around and tried that tip from OSXdaily - shutting down the VDCAssistant using Terminal. I also updated all of my software. I'm fully up to date in terms of the operating system. I've tried the whole zapping the PRAM thing also (ctrl+opt+P+R). I've set up additional accounts, checked across different applications - nada.
    Any other suggestions as to what the issue could be and how I can fix it? I bought my MacBook Pro at the end of December 2011, so it's not new, but it's in great shape.

  • A thousand USB questions .. later why do USB devices not mount/stop working

    I know this is loaded post but I'm getting really torqued at the USB sub-system in OS X.
    I bought a mini ~2 years to see what the OSX scene was like, so far it's mostly been a great OS but the USB problems past at work, on my home system only cropped up in the past few months is very frustrating. :-P
    I've done the googling, apples pathetic troubleshooting pages, run the Profiler and USB Prober trying to determine all with no luck.
    Can any of you help me "get it"?
    At work, we had a OSX server a few years that failed to stop mounting a USB drive that had been used several time before. It was under support and Apple failed to resolve the problem!!
    I had a Transcend usb enclosure that worked in 10.3 and by the time 10.4 rolled around it stopped working (checked on a few different macs)
    Now I have a iogear gfr280 memory card reader/writer that worked three months ago and just tried to use it the other day ... borked!!. I then take it to work plug it into my co-workers iMac running 10.5, mounts up and I can copy my photos off the SD card, no issues. WTH!?
    Also, just the other day my digital camera powershot A630 batteries ran out right as I was importing... Took me three hours of reboots, plugging in my thumb drive and camera only to have them show up for a split second then disappear from iphoto or the desktop.
    I even thought of calling Apple on this one but I'm leary based on prior experience with the server incident.
    This is even worse than under Linux(run that too), most times the kernel either supports the device or it doesn't ( I can live with that! ). None of this .. I'm gonna work and then all the sudden stop one day.
    Anyone? Would it be worth paying for a one-time support call?

  • My USB 3.0 ports stop working, why?

    Hello!
    I have a Line 6 UX2 audio interface since 5-6 years back, not sure.
    It has been working perfectly with several Macbooks, an iMac and a Windows PC.
    I bought the new Macbook Pro Retina (2.6 GHz, 16 GB RAM) and it worked for a while.
    The symptom is that the USB ports suddenly stop working, the audio interface goes down with the rest of the devices (I have a USB 3.0 drive, a USB 2.0 drive and USB dongles for Cubase and Reason). This only happens (to my knowledge at least) when the audio interface is connected. And more often when audio starts playing (an application starts using the device) than random.
    Now, this could be a hardware fault you say, but no. I've had other problems with this computer and have had the motherboard (which for Retina Macbook includes RAM, CPU, etc) replaces TWICE. And the same problem with all of the motherboards.
    Now, I have checked Console when this error happens, and a kernel driver is outputting a message:
    1/1/12 7:11:46.000 AM kernel[0]: USBF:
    1046.276
    AppleUSBXHCI[0xffffff81c472c000]::UIMRootHubStatusChange - HSE bit set:5 (1)
    After this the USB ports are dead until I reboot. All applications using mounted USB drives get the beach ball, including Finder.
    Either there is a problem with the Line 6 driver, or with Apples USB controller drivers. But while searching on the net I've found that other people have similar symptoms with other audio interfaces from other makers.
    Me and several other have posted on Line 6:s forums about this issue:
    http://line6.com/support/message/396153
    So basically, I am hoping that this issue gets forwarded to Apples hardware driver engineers, I'm guessing they are the only ones who knows whats going on and can fix it. But any input at all is very welcome of course!

    Since your computer is at least relatively new, I would call AppleCare (if you're within your 9-day phone support or if you actually purchased the AppleCare extended warranty) and work with them. No Apple engineers here - just us users...
