Camera app not working with logitech webcam with new windows 8.1 update

My Logitech camera app was working fine before win 8.1 update.
ALL drivers are updated.
Camera works fine when I run Logitech program/software, just won't work with camera app included win windows 8.
I just get a dark screen.
I searched forums. This appears to be a common problem. Microsoft Techs just state uninstall camera app and reinstall. But, this is an app that won't let me reinstall. Plus, I search Microsoft Store and can't find the camera app.
Any suggestions.
Thanks

I'm having more or less the same issue, but it extends beyond just the app. I'm replying here because this is the topic I was referred to by one of your support members on twitter and I'm trying to help keep things organized so that hopefully one day Microsoft
can solve the issue.
I have the Logitech Webcam HD C 525 which worked perfectly fine on my Windows Vista Home Premium machine. I recently built myself a computer and purchased Windows 8.1 complete (I heard that you could chose the OS language and as I'm living overseas I was really
happy to finally be able to use Windows in English).
I'm using Windows 8.1 64 bit and got around to installing skype on Christmas eve so I could video chat with my family back home. However, I ran into an annoying issue when trying to use the webcam. I installed the latest drivers and applications clean and straight
directly from Logitech, plugged in the webcam and it was not detected.
Following the troubleshooting info from Logitech, I then switched my camera from a USB 3.0 port to a 2.0 one, this shouldn't matter, but I tried it anyway. It changed nothing. I uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers multiple times with no change.
After a bit of reaching out on twitter I had a friend suggest using ONLY the Microsoft drivers for my device. I COMPLETELY removed and deleted the device and drivers from my machine and then installed them using the info found here in the troubleshooting section:
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/camera-app-faq.
I plugged my camera back into the 2.0 port and my camera flicked on for 2 seconds (preview included) then shut off again and told me it wasn't detectable. I opened Skype and it seemed ok. When it came time to actually Skype with my family skype could no longer
detect my webcam. It flicked on and off briefly and told me it wasn't detectable.
The current state of my webcam is that it is buggy and unreliable. Opening skype or the logitech app or ANY app that uses my camera yields the same result: an endless loop of my camera flickering on and off, and messages of "not detected" between
images from my camera. The camera still works on my old computer normally, thus it is not an issue with the camera itself.
I have read many people having my same issue with various webcams (not just Logitech because I briefly considered buying a Microsoft one) and the one thing in common was it was all on Windows 8.1
As posted in a few posts above I downloaded and ran Process Monitor while I opened skype and my camera sat through the endless detect/non-detected issue it has currently. I hope I have the log information saved correctly (if not I can re-do it, it is not difficult
to reproduce as it happens all the time). I could not figure out how to copy/pase the information in the log file, so here is a link to my log file:

FIX:
1. You need Time Machine
2. Go to folder /Library/CoreMediaIO/Plug-Ins/DAL/
3. Copy AppleCamera.plugin to good place (usb memory stick is the best place).
4. Go to Time machine in date that skype work fine.
5. Change AppleCamera.plugin with file from Time Machine
6. Restart system, Now skype need to work with camera.
If that doesnt pass,
Suggest looking here, much success has been found:

Camera App - Not Working "error.4003"

I am receiving the error.4003 for the camera app. This affects both camera and video modes. The front facing camera does not work through the camera app, but works fine if used via the video chat app. This appears to be a software error as the touch screen interface controls in the camera app are not completely functional or have a severe response time lag as compared to normal touch screen response time.
Apparently worked fine a month ago. Pictures taken looked great.
At first the error message received on the camera app stated camera was already in use. Not the error above is all I get.
I've done research via the Web and the only responses thus far is to send this into RIM. But too many people are experiencing this error and the posted ideas on other forums are either questionable or IMO not acceptable.
Also the screen capture cameramode works fine. No problems.

From everything I hear 4003 is a "hardware" malfunction.
It happened to me as well right AFTER the 1032 OS upgrade - how's that possible>?
Probably blows a resister or something.
I had warranty left -and got a brand new Playbook in return this week. The turnaround took only a few days by FedEx.
Why so fast? It can't be fixed - so they're just tossing the old ones and replacing them.
I received a brand new identical model (32g) - however it wanted to go to the 1032 upgrade step during intial setup.
i was hoping to avoid that. Did it anyway - no choice.
Happy to report - cameras are both working.
NO explanation of the hardware fault by RIM - what it is or what causes it.
If you have warranty - just call support. They're breaking it somehow - it's not YOU!
Get it replaced before your warranty runs out.

Ipad3 camera app not working - simple question

Hello,
I would like to take pictures with my ipad3. I installed "camera awesome". Has anyone been able to get this to work with their ipad3? It doesn't show a picture when I try to use it. When I hit the camera icon within the app, it closes the app.
I'm also open to utilizing other camera apps as long as they work with ipad3. For those that are taking pictues, what camera apps do you suggest?
Thanks in advance for your help!

Ok, So I'm the only one who has this issue with their iPad3 and there is no information on this elsewhere. I take it that my iPad3 must be a defect.
I recently tried to Skype and the video would not work with my iPad3. I will be returning it to the Apple store. I guess my camera doesn't work. Booo. LOL. Hopefully, they will supply me with a new iPad3.

After updating my iphone 5 to ios 7 camera app not working properly

i update to ios7 on my iphone. sometime blue lining occur in the camera app and while taking pics. this is original picture taken from iphone 5.

Hello Megeedolore,
It sounds like your rear facing camera is not functioning correctly. I would start by quitting all the open apps on the phone with the following article:
iOS: Force an app to close
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
Double-click the Home button.
Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
Swipe the app up to close it.
When you have done that and restart the phone and test the issue again:
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
If the issue persists, and you have a protective case, remove the phone from the case and retest the issue.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Regards,
Sterling

Stock Camera App not working

Whenever I try to open the stock camera app, the screen goes black and it crashes. I have done three factory resets and cleared the data. How do I get the camera to work? Is there anywhere I can reinstall this app?

Hey catherine32!
Wow! I can certainly understand wanting to take pictures with that great camera on your phone! Let's get that fixed ASAP! When did this start? Was it after an app was installed? I understand that you did a factory reset, but have you also done this for the memory card? There isn't a way to reinstall the application since it is pre-loaded on the phone. Also, have you tried going into the camera all different ways (lock screen, apps, while composing a message to make an attachment)? And do they all make the camera still close out? We may need to replace the device if it is still having problems. Please let us know !
Thanks!

Camera App not working after update to iOS 7.1.1 on iPhone4

Hi Guys,
I have recently downloaded iOS7.1.1 ipsw from the apple website for the correct version of my iphone4 [GSM] and updated my phone.
The camera app is now not responsing at all and i dont even see a picture in the camera app. I tried the update again and found that the problem is still evident.
Please let me know if we share the same problem and also any solution if you come across.
Regards,
Sheikh M

Updating to iOS 7.1.2 doesnt solving problem at all, even my front camera also begin not working after I did that. Everything's OK when I using rear cam, but just freeze and blurred on screen while switched to the front cam. And have to resetting to go back to rear cam. My iPhone4's camera itself, rear and front, are in good performance before. And I've tried anything such as reset, hard reset, restoring, setting up as new device, etc, without any result since then. If some people say it was about hardware issued, I thing so weird because too many same hardware problems coincident happened at the same moment. So I just only hope the Apple will listening and solving all problems wisely. Thanks b4.

Since downloaded iOS 8.2 on my iPhone 4S the camera won't work. It is just black. Sometimes we can scroll between photo, video etc, but most the time the whole thing is locked up. I have tried rebooting the phone. Nothing works.
Please Apple Support Team fix this issue.

IOS 8.0.2 camera app not working but FaceTime camera does?

Went today and had a new screen installed on my 5c and I initially thought that the camera hardware had been mis-installed, bexause opening the camera app yielded a fuzzy image and then a freeze. I tried installing other camera apps and the image doesnt work there. I tried FaceTime and lo and behold, the camera works for FaceTime only. Help?
Also, there are no restrictions set for my phone.
Thanks!

Why would it be Ebay's fault when it was working perfectly before? It's only since I upgraded to ios 8.0.2 this has happened, so explain why Ebay is at fault?
There are more than a million 3rd parties apps, do you think Apple should wait until all the apps are updated before they release the IOS?
Apps developers should alway test if their apps can run on the latest platform not the other way round.
That's why you have this compatibility info.

Camera App not working on ipad 2

Camera on my ipad 2 is not working. It will go to the app, but after about 2 seconds it goes back to the home screen automatically. Not even enough time to snap a picture. I have enough memory, and I have rebooted already. Still nothing.

Try closing the Camera app:
1. Double-click the Home button to reveal the Task Bar
2. Hold down the Camera app for a second or two until you see the minus sign
3. Tap the minus sign to close app
4. Tap area above Task Bar to return to Home screen
If the above doesn't solve the problem, do a reset:
Hold the Sleep and Home button down for about 10 seconds until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the red slider

Why doesn't 7.0 mpx camera app not work on 5 and 5s after upgrade to iOS 8? How can I fix?

IPhone 4S Camera app not working. Help? iOS 7.1.2

I have an iPhone 4S, and my camera doesn't work. When I launch the app, either it black screens (but shows the GUI still), or it shows the background. But when I want to switch the camera so I can show my face in FaceTime or take a selfie, the app black screens or freezes afterwards. I know this is a software issue, and I am running iOS 7.1.2. Any help? Thanks

Gevey sim is illegal in most countries and to use it you must hack the iPhone,
thereby voiding the warranty and possibility of support from Apple.

Sky Go App not working since I downloaded the new Apple iTunes

Since I downloaded the new itunes upgrade on my iPad watching downloaded programmes have been a complete nightmare. I keep getting an error message: "Video Unavailable - Sorry, the app is currently unable to connect to the stream - please try again. If the problem persists pleases try re-starting the app. Code 3-25" Firstly why do I have to connect to the stream when its a downloaded program and secondly how to I fix it. I have deleted the app and reloaded it, rebooted my iPad and its still not working. I've gone onto flight mode. Anyone have any ideas.
