Camera turns off and back on.

My macbook pro camera turns off and back on when I'm videochating (Skype, Facebook VideoCall, Facetime) not with Photobooth.

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: 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. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
iOS: How to back up your data and set up as a new device
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Macbook Pro camera turns off and back on.

When I am videochating with my friends or for any reason I have my camera on, most of the times the camera turns off (Green Light Off) and then back on. While the light turns off my video gets stuck and then when the camera turns back on the video continues to function normally but it bother me a lot because it is a new computer I just bought for christmas and whenever I am videochatting the camera turns off and back on. PLEASE HELP!

Thank you for your detailed troubleshooting attempts. Very helpful. Sorry, I cannot read "logs." My eyes just glass over on those things. Hopefully, a knowledgeable user will come along shortly to decipher for you.
I noticed from the pics that your location setting is "untitled." Have you tried the "Automatic" setting? Run the diagnostic test? Results?
Try the basics first:
Change your router channel number. Most times this works & is all you have to do.
Disconnect & reconnect your modem. unplug it for about 10 seconds. Plug it back in. Do the same for Apple’s routers. Wait for everything to reboot.
System Preferences>Network
Click the Assist Me button.
In the next window that pops up, click the Diagnostic button & do the necessary.

IMac 2008 emc 2211 suddenly turns off and back on, RAM problem?

I have an iMac from 2008 emc 2211.
Two years ago i upgraded my RAM from 2GB to 4GB Crucial memories.
Two weeks ago my imac started to suddenly turn off and back on inmediatly. Recently it stared to happen more often to the point that it can't boot completely and show the desktop
I checked the power source and it was fine.
I opened the computer and pulled out the power supply and it seamed to be fine.
I tried to run the hardware test with the disk that came with the computer and it can't even finish the test because it turns off.
Before it couldn't boot anymore i checked if it was overheathing with smcFanControl and the temperature was always around 44C, so it was fine.
Could this be the crucial RAM that is failing?
thanks in advance.

Ok, i've replaced the RAM and the power supply and the problem persist, so it seams to be the logic board that is failing.
Any ideas?

In updating my iPod to 6.1.2, I received an error during the update. Now, my ipod is not rebooting. It continues to display a screen showing usb to Itunes picture.   Turning off and back on, it goes back to this picture. I don't know how to reset so that I can restore from my backup.
A similar thing happened when I updated the ios on my ipad. But, I was able to reboot, and then restore from backup.   How can I get my ipod to reboot and allow restore when it is not even recognized as I reconnect to my computer?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Nokia Asha 303 turns off and back on again constan...

Hi,
since a few weeks, every day my phone starts to turn off and back on again by itself, and this 10-20 times. Then it works fine again for a few hours and the whole thing starts again. I've also noticed I have to recharge my phone every day.
Some help please? :-)
Thanks!

As said by Farby above, you might need to visit Nokia care centre.
Back-up important data before going to the Nokia care.
Hope this helps.

My iphone 5 will freeze up and turn off and back on. It will go to the apple screen and then go black MULTIPLE times before it comes back on. No buttons work while this happens. My phone is a week old.

User troubleshooting is restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new. If you perform these steps and it still doesn't work, then make an appointment at the Apple Genius bar and have the hardware checked.

Try a reset or restore

Torch won't turn off and back camera won't work after dropping it in a pool. What can I do?

I put it in rice as soon as I got back, and left it for 36 hours as instructed by a website and friends. Ever since dropping it the torch hasn't turned off and the bac camera won't work.

Water and electronics do not mix well. Your device may not ever work properly again, and probably needs to be replaced. Unless you have the AppleCare Protection Plan Plus, then it will cost $199 USD to replace an iPhone 4S.
The rice trick works best if you leave it for at least 4-5 days, not 1.5 days. But even that is no guarantee.

Iphone 6 plus the battery usage times are erased when you turn off and back on iphone

i´m desperate. this has already happened with 4 new different iphone. I have it a week ago and suddenly when i turn it on un the morning i deleted the hours of use and standby battery. I get two hyphens . Reloading up to 100% and the counter is reset. but when you come back off and on again disappears again use times.I restored, reset settings and many other things but can not find the solution. has passed me at least 4 different iphones and the truth is that leads me crazy. someone could help me because in support anyone give me a solution.
many thanks. you are the only option left for me to discover something so rare and unanswered.
PD: so if I have observed is that when new and still has not restored works well. I have been working well so far that restored cleanly to put him last update. iphone latter came with 8.1 installed and use it for a week and did not fail. the problem appeared to restore and put him 8.1.1 . others began to fail after restore and do a clean install because it came with the iOS 8 and your so cleanly actualizer 8.1

i have an iphone 6 plus and i just powered it off and and back on (by using the sleep/wake button) and the slide to power off - usage time/stand by time was preserved
if you reset and iphone (holding sleep/wake and home buttons until Apple logo appears - you will see those dashes until the next time the iPhone is charged backup to 100% - this has been the behavior with every iPhone i have owned (and Ive owned every one since the original

Camera turns off and on and freezes me during calls any help?

The green light will usually turn off randomly and repeatedly and then come back on after like a few seconds and ill look at myself and ill be frozen until it comes back on. Anybody know how to fix this or is this how all macs are. Really dissapointed with this purchase so far already had to get it fixed twice because and i quote "im not allowed to move a mac while its on, as in walking around". And the fan noises and the constant bs camera freezing. Anyways all im worried about is how to fix the camera.

Try these steps:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2090
It is not normal that the camera goes on and off by itself. Is there a specific app you are using when this happens?
You are allowed to use Macs while on the move - that is why they are notebooks - so whoever told you that is wrong. Also fan noises are stronger when using intensive programs that use Flash.

S7000 2.1 speaker don't wake up after sleep. Needs manual turn off and back on - Frustrating!

The speakers seem to go to sleep after about 10 minutes of no use (because you're authoring a document for 15 minutes with no audio/video playing). Now, you want to play some audio/video, the speakers don't automatically wake up! You have to manually turn them off and turn them back on. No speaker system in my history ever needs this manual on/off! Very frustrating!!! Please give me a workaround or fix. Ready to return speakers if I don't have a solution. Just bought and installed them 2 days back and already quite frustrated.

I am having the same exact problem. Here is an excerpt from my system log when the freeze occurs.
At 1-31 11:00:07 I open the lid. About a minute later I have to do a hard restart because the desktop will not come up. The Caps Lock and Num Lock keys both respond to input, so I have no idea what is going on here.

Why does my ipod touch turn off and back on repeatedly

I've recently just sync'd my iPod Touch and shortly thereafter, the unit turns on, the "Apple" symbol appears, but then about 8-10 seconds later the screen flashes and it turns off. About 8-10 seconds later, it turns on. This behavior cycles repeatedly without any effect from manipulation of the "Home" or "on/off" buttons. It also makes no difference if plugged in using the A/C connector.

Error 9
This error occurs when the device unexpectedly loses its USB connection with iTunes. This can occur if the device is manually disconnected during the restore process. This issue can be resolved by performing USB troubleshooting, using a different USB dock-connector cable, trying another USB port, restoring on another computer, or by eliminating conflicts from third-party security software.
Did you try everything above, including trying on another computer? If so then

My apps won't open on my iPhone 3G. I've tried turning off and back on, and I've also reset the settings too.

I would prefer not to do a full-on reset because I don't want all my music and media erased.

Try downloading any free app to resync your iTunes account.
FYI, you can restore (full-on reset) and not lose your data... after the restore, your backup is installed.
