Cam doen't work
Hi
i have a pavilion dv6 notebook pc. there is an built in cam and it worked fine in the beginning, now after i have re-installed windowns on my computer it does not work. when i open cyperlink youcam it says that no webcam is connected. i have tried to search for the drivers, but it is not possible to find
I have had the same exact issue. I can give you a possible resolution, without you needing to send your laptop in, or without having to wait days and days, and why not, save you some money.
Have a look at this video for a general idea on what you need to be doing :
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LFnU-wS-k6s
As soon as you get the frame off, that is all you need to do. I hope that the video will be good enough to give you an idea on how to assess the sittuation.
This picture will show you what you need to be looking for, and make sure that the plug is connected properly :
After making sure the plug is connected properly, put the frame back on and you should be good. It might happen again in the future, but you will know what to do.
Before you do take any of these steps, check if you are still under warranty, as this type of procedure will most likely void it. If you are under warranty, you might need to weight the options ( which I am sure the "techs" will ask you to send the laptop in, which will take 10 business days the least and all they will do is just a factory reset, and maybe change the whole hardware deal per their claim, but in fact just connect that little part & not change anything - true story ! )
USE THIS GUIDE AT YOUR OWN RISK ! BROWSE FOR MORE INSTRUCTIVE VIDEOS ONLINE IF YOU NEED TO, OR ASK FOR ASSISSTANCE FROM SOMEONE THAT IS PRACTICAL WITH THESE THINGS. MAKE SURE YOUR LAPTOP IS POWERED OFF & THE BATTERY IS OUT BEFORE YOU ATTEMPT ANYTHING !

"Import from camera" doen't work
I want to import movies from mi iPhone 4S and the "import from camera" option doesn't work. When I click de button (or pressing cmd+I, or going to archive > import from camera) the arrow turns to the colored beach ball of death and the aplication doesn't response.
Any solution? If I import videos from archives there's any problem, but I want to import videos from my iPhone 4SYes, I tried with iMovie 11 and it works perfectly, I can import videos from my iPhone 4S without any problem. But with Final Cut Pro X I got this problem
I don't know what to do, I tried to repair permissions, erase the events folder... And nothing, the problem stills there
I can use iMovie and then import from Final Cut, but it's a double work. I want to use this option in Final Cut -

I fell down the stairs the other day and busted my other ipod to the gamewerks near my house. the guy said he couldnt fix that ipod so he gave me a new one.. a better one a 32GB, the broken one was 8GB. but he told me the only bad thing is that the camera does not work and he doesnt know why... he just couldnt get it to workkk... any ideas on whats wrong?
Try the following:
- A reset. Nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
If you still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order -

to do so, you need to declare those fields in the form CREATE_HIERARCHY.
For example, to add FLDATE node, you should do:
ON CHANGE OF LS_SFLIGHT-CARRID.
PERFORM ADD_CARRID_LINE USING LS_SFLIGHT
CHANGING L_CARRID_KEY.
ENDON.
ON CHANGE OF LS_SFLIGHT-CONNID.
PERFORM ADD_CONNID_LINE USING LS_SFLIGHT
L_CARRID_KEY
CHANGING L_CONNID_KEY.
ENDON.
ON CHANGE OF LS_SFLIGHT-FLDATE.
PERFORM ADD_FLDATE_LINE USING LS_SFLIGHT
L_CONNID_KEY
CHANGING L_FLDATE_KEY.
ENDON.
ON CHANGE OF LS_SFLIGHT-PRICE.
PERFORM ADD_PRICE_LINE USING LS_SFLIGHT
L_FLDATE_KEY
CHANGING L_PRICE_KEY.
ENDON.
and then create the new FORMS PERFORM ADD_PRICE_LINE and
PERFORM ADD_FLDATE_LINE by copy of the existent
PERFORM ADD_CONNID_LINE and change the L_NODE_TEXT in the form.
I suposed you are new to ALV's, so i have a sugestion for you.
Instead of CL_GUI_ALV_TREE try to use some examples of CL_GUI_ALV_TREE_SIMPLE. It's much more simple to understand and to work with. For example Report BCALV_TREE_SIMPLE_DEMO.
In this case, to add more nodes to the the you just need to add 3 lines of code in
perform build_sort_table.

Canon mini Disk camera doesn't work if external drive connected
A long story. Anyway, I have a MacPro Intel Dual Core 266 Ghz with 5 Gbs RAM, 4 internal hard drives HD1~HD4 (HD1 OSX 250 and three 500Gb) and two external HD5 (two partitions~HD5 & Time Machine Backups) and HD6 (1 Tb each).
I've been using a Canon mini DV video camera FV-M10 (Firewire 400) for live video (Skype/iChat) and also for importing video into Final Cut Express, After Effects or iMovie up until a few days ago. Both "live" video and from the recorded mini cassette tape. Then all of a sudden not one of the software recognized my camera anymore. I tried both Firewire 800/400 and USB2 connections using a few different cables. In Skype...(sometimes) it automatically shows the name FV-M10 in the camera slot, but the screen is black. No, I checked if I left the cover on. I checked my Sony WX-5 digital camera and see if that is recognized. Yes, both pics and AVCHD videos are seen using the USB connection.
The problem started like this.
I was downloading a file. Had to work for an hour and when I came back upstairs. I noticed that the screen was frozen. So, I shut the Mac down. And when I started it again, well nothing happened except for a grey screen. A half~sized cursor was stuck up in the top left. But, my mouse also had a cursor which was movable.
It wouldn't even recognize the OSX Install Disk holding down "C" or "Option". Only starting with "Shift" held down, "Safe Boot" could I use the basics like Mail, Safari, Firefox. NO sound and no video. Tried a few times as well as cleaned my OSX HD1 hard drive and re-installed from "Safe Boot" mode". So, I had it sent into Apple Tokyo for repairs. Apple put in a new board. Great! I came it back in two days. I cleaned the OSX hard drive and re-installed Mac OSX with the up-dates as well and got some of my main backed up stuff Mail, bookmarks, address book etc. It started fine. But, when I went to use Skype, iChat, iMovie or Final Cut Express they still couldn't recognize my camera. I had been using the Canon FV M10 camera for a few years with both external hard drives on. There were never any problems until just before I sent it into the shop.
There was only one way to use my camera. Un-Plug the external HD6. Then the camera functions fine. but remember I had been using this camera with both HD's for around two years without any problems.
Notes on symptoms: and what actions I took.
Front connections: FW400 Canon camera. FW800 (Tried connecting HD6)
Rear Connections: USB2 1) MidiMan 2 x2 2) mouse 3) Canon Printer
FW400 HD5 FW800 (tried HD6)
With HD6 Connected.
iMovie 11 9.02 : Start iMovie O.K. No camera on. Turned camera "on" then "No Camera Connected" notice came up. (did this a few times) Turned camera off. Quit iMovie.
2nd start: Camera On. iMovie freezes. Spinning Colored beach ball. I then Force Quit Option-Apple-ESC
iMovie shows (not responding) When I turn off the camera. (not responding) disappears and iMovie is working again. But, "No Camera Connected" shows again. Quit!
Un-Plugged (Ejected) HD6.
When I un-plugged HD6, (tried both the front and rear connections). iMovie still on.
"No Camera Connected" I Quit iMovie.
Re-start iMovie: Camera on… Live video and record miniDV tape can both be seen.
Skype: Both live video and mini DV tape recording even plays back over Skype screen.
iChat (same as Skype) O.K.
Since Apple replaced the board 661-3932 Card Video, NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT which cost just about $X00.00 (¥XX,000). I assume that they don't also check all the connections etc. I mean from the connector to the video board.
The call to Apple Tokyo today.
Just talked to Apple (Mac) Tokyo about my computer problem. Seems like they're trying to squeeze their way of more repairs by saying I have a hard drive configuration problem. But it doesn't seem like that! I worked with it 2~3 hours today...and here is the basic problem.
I've used the Canon FV M10 mini DV camera with Skype, iChat, iMovie and FCEx for few years (HD6) is over a year old-the most recent add on) with no problem. With both external 1Tb hard drives. And Apple said that it's a 3-party problem. (different makers etc.) But, it's NOT! Yes, they put in a new board. But, I'd say the problem is from the connection (where I plug the cable into the Mac) to the board.
When I connect HD6 (1Tb ext hard drive). FW 800 (either back or front connection) the video camera doesn't work in Skype, iChat, iMovie, or Final Cut Express. If I eject and Un-Plug HD6 all of them work fine. The camera "live" or the camera playing back the mini DV tape video.
Wouldn't this be a problem between the connections (front & back) to the new video board? Or does anyone have an answer. Apple seems to have said, "We can't help you". Please someone help! thanks+My mini isn't responding to startup commands like "C" or "D" from the keyboard.+
You'll need a wired usb keyboard for these commands to work -- and the Apple Aluminum keyboard won't work either.
But just about any PC usb keyboard will work. Alt maps to Option and Win-key to CMD. -
I just bought an Iphone 4 from straight talk. My camera does not work. The shutter does not open and when it does open there is a black screen. I am very upset. I have wanted this phone for awhile. I want the issue fixed.
ThanksTake the iPhone to an Apple store genius bar for testing, and if it is defective and under warranty they will replace. Since you say iPhone 4, was this a used or refurbished iPhone?

My macbook air camera does not work
I have a macbook air 11" mid 2011 running OSX Yosemite 10.10.1
I need to use the facetime camera, but it says no camera is available.
what I have done (6 hours or research and grief later):
After reading a plethora of forums, I have tried:
Migrated from OSX Mountain Lion to Yosemite.. will definitely fix your problem. no good...
Installed the latest update... yep...
used the disk Utility repair again just in case... yep... still no good.
restarted the computer... yep. no good...
open a terminal and type sudo killall VDCAssistant
yep that was a waste of time... its not even on my laptop.
the USB camera is not in the System Information USB Tree. and under camera it says no video capture devices were found.
Found a really helpful UTube video which suggested I Kill off a Parrot thingy... wasnt even in the devices list...
I have read through the plethora of forums on this problem even further... there are literally thousands of them.
The most popular answer which Apple appears to provide is: and by the way you keep running into this suggestion...
One of these will fix your problem:
(1) If restarting your Mac doesn't fix the problem, (NOPE didnt fix it..)
(2) use Apple's http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2090 (NOPE no help... as:
did the use Disk Utility to repair permissions thing.. yep... still no camera...
the USB camera is still not in the System Information USB Tree.
(option 3 applies to me... cant see the camera in the USB...
no suggestion on how to resolve that ... but there is a (4) so I tried that...
I reset the SMC ... guess what... still no camera...
The camera used to work...
............................................................................... My thought and question of Apple is below ...................................................
I am thinking the port on which the camera communicates is disabled in the new software version, or it is reassigned to something that is in conflict with it. The USB connection is set at the manufacture level to something which is not being detected now.
CAN APPLE PLEASE ADVISE ME WHICH DEFAULT PORT THE CAMERA IS CONNECTED TO AND CONFIRM THAT IT IS NOT DISABLED BY DEFAULT
Please dont tell me its a problem with the camera... I could probably roll back to the old software, and my system would work just fine... this has been a total pain in the neck... and has cost me many hours...
Yes I am going into the Apple store tomorrow... another two hours out of my life... probably to be told its a hardware issue and they need to take it away and charge me money to fix it.. but I will take it there and decline to pay any money. It is out of warranty and probably not essential to the laptop to use. It s frustrating that there is no easy fix to this problem despite the plethora of forum articles and posts by thousands of people experiencing the same problem.
There is no way Apple can stick its head in the sand and claim its a hardware issue.
I have tried to look for a built-in USB camera driver for Apple Macbook Air... good luck with that... If the old system driver was about, perhaps someone could check the communications ports and work out where this problem actually sits.There was a final outcome... Apple determined that the IO card was faulty and they replaced it under warranty.. The camera is working correctly
i cant argue with the results... The card replacement has reliably fixed the problem.
SO my final recommendation for a solution is
check online to make sure you can get an appointment at your APPLE shop.
Book the appointment so you don't waste 4 hours...
Check that your machine is in warranty. If not, the repair cost to me was $85 aus... Still not too bad considering this issue cost me 14 hours of research and a further 8 hours travel time...
BAck up your computer and open the password to protect your regular one. Then...
take it to Apple at the appointed time. MAKE SURE YOU BACKED UP YOUR MACHINE...
WAit 5 to 10 days based on how busy they are... If they say your card is faulty, it's hardware and no amount of fiddling about with software is going to fix the problem. I could have saved 18 + hours..
Replace the IO Card Fixed this issue... It has not failed since getting the computer back. -
Built-in iSight camera doesn't work all the time...?
This started on iChat... When starting a video conference I see a black picture, the green light turns on but my buddy only see's a video of herself and is still able to hear me. I tried opening the audio/video preferences and the preview is still black. I also tried opening photobooth and it shows a black picture as well. This only happens on occassions, it works most of the time but this problem seems to be occurring more often. I've tried all the troubleshooting listed but nothing seems to work..?
"I've tried all the troubleshooting listed but nothing seems to work..? "
Please list them. This will avoid the +"been there, done that"+ scenarios when users try to provide you with troubleshooting solutions.
Otherwise, +"since you've tried all the troubleshooting listed"+ then send your computer to your local AASP or contact AppleCare if you are still under warranty.
Tried everything in Article http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2090 How to Troubleshoot iSight and this thread my isight camera is not working-not recognised with photo booth or ichat? -
I have done absalutely nothing to my 4g apple ipod touch, and it over heats, won't hold a charge, and the front camera will not work. I bought this brand new in december, and i've barely used it. I've tried restarting it and everything, I honestly think this is out raging because i spend over $200 on this. To have for music and instagram. I use it about an hour a day, but i've only been using it for about 3 months although i've had it since December. Any suggestions that may help me?
Try:
- A reset. Nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod
If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. -
