Default Camera App Tile Missing and Won't Launch from c:\windows\camera. Also missing from Windows Store to reinstall.

Hi There,
I am deploying a custom windows 8.1 enterprise image via SCCM to Surface Tablets in our corporate environment.  We currently are using windows 8 ONLY on surface hardware.
We only have 4 in the wild but all are having the same issue.  The camera app tile/shortcut is missing from the all applications menu.
If I try to launch it from the c:\windows\camera folder i receive an error regarding Windows.UI.Xaml.dll as I believe it needs to be  called via the modern environment (not desktop).
It dose not appear to be a hardware issue as third party camera apps seem to work.
Also, when i search for the app in windows store it cannot be found.  I can find it when i search the store via IE but when I click on the link to open it in the windows store i am only presented with the stores front page.
Any advice would be appreciated as my users are keen to use the camera on their surface pro 3's.
Thanks

This sounds as though the Camera app has become corrupt in your image. I would attempt to reimage one of the devices with a vanilla environment to see if the issue appears, if not, I would
evaluate the difference between the Camera app in the vanilla environment and the production environment. Specifically, you may need to ensure that the correct version of Camera is provisioned in the base image.

  • Yahoo toolbar is missing and won't reinstall

    My yahoo toolbar is missing and won't reinstall. The yahoo icon is there and the space to type for the search engine is there but the search engine doesn't do anything when I try to use it.

  • I have several Outlook accounts and want to switch between them but Firefox defaults to the main one and won't let me access the others.

    Outlook now makes me sign out and sign back in to each of my email accounts. When I try to sign back in, it defaults to the main account and won't let me type in the other email addresses. This only happens in Firefox, both Google and IE leave the email address blank and let me type in the one I want to access. I'd rather use Firefox, but it doesn't let me type in a different email address. Can I fix this?

  • I've copied my itunes library onto an external hard drive.  Is there any way I can do this and delete songs from my PC without also deleting from the external drive? Already lost two songs!!!

    I've copied my itunes library onto an external hard drive.  Is there any way I can do this and delete songs from my PC without also deleting from the external drive? Already lost two songs!!!  I just want a back up - using a work PC and don't want others accessing my songs.  Hope someone can help.  Thanks!

    I see. To get a better idea of what is being stored where please download and run the script iTunesInfo which should output something like this:
    I'm interested in the block of 4 results starting ITL location. If your profile name shows up somewhere replace it with <Name>.  It is also worth checking under Edit > Preferences > Advanced to see where iTunes thinks your media is supposed to go. My script estimates the setting based on the location of the first media file it can actually find.

  • How is the album and folder connected and when I delete photos from the album it also deletes from the folder?

  • I cannot connect to my camera at all. I have tried turning it off then on and downloading all the camera apps but it still won't work. My iPod doesn't even give me the option to use anywhere.

    My iPod doesn't give me any choice to access the camera. I have tried sownloading a camera app and restarting my iPod but when I had the camera app the screen just turned black. Any idea what's going on?

    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

  • Links to web page in any mail message will cause Mail app to hang, and won't open Safari.

    Repeatable problem on iPhone or iPad.
    Any link to a web page will cause Mail to lock up and become unresponsive, and won't open the web page in Safari.
    The only way out of this is to back out to the home screen, double-click on the home button, then select the Mail app icon, holding it until I can "close" it. I can then relaunch Mail and look at any message I want just like normal.  But if select any link, whether a text link or a picture in an email, the whole thing happens again.
    Occurs on both my iPhone 5 and my iPad both running iOS 6.0.1.
    Any suggestions that will allow me to go directly from a mail msg to a linked web page embedded within?

    You ran a defective third-party "utility" that purports to "clean up" "junk" files. What it really does is to corrupt the operating system and many applications.   
    The first thing you need to do is remove that software according to the developer's instructions. Never install it, or anything like it, again. Then see below.
    If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data, then reinstall the OS.* You don't need to erase the startup volume, and you won't need the backup unless something goes wrong. If the system was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you may need the Apple ID and password you used.
    If you use FileVault 2, then before running the Installer you must launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the FileVault startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name.) It will be nested below another icon with the same name. Click the Unlock button in the toolbar and enter your login password when prompted. Then quit Disk Utility to be returned to the main screen.
    There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
    If you installed the Java runtime distributed by Apple and still need it, you'll have to reinstall it. The same goes for Xcode.
    *The linked support article refers to OS X 10.9 ("Mavericks"), but the procedure is the same for OS X 10.7 ("Lion") and later.

  • Launch pad has question mark in icon and won't launch

    Hello,
    On my intel mac with lion the icon for launch pad has a question mark over it and wont launch. Also when I hit f4 it wont start launch pad. Any help would be appreciated.

    Somehow you've managed to delete it.
    To re-install iPhoto
    1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
    2. Download it from the App Store to reinstall It's on your Purchases List* there.
    For older versions that have been installed from Disk you'll need these additional steps:
    2a: On 10.5:  Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
    2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows:  In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
    /var/db/receipts/
    2c: on 10.7 or later they're at
    /private/var/db/receipts
    A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
    3. Re-install.
    If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
    If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
    *Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4928
    One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
    iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.

  • Leopard seeing app as PowerPC and will not launch

    I have a situation where Leopard is seeing an application hosted on a Mac server as a PowerPC app and will not launch it on some Intel Macs in my lab. However, the app is not a PowerPC app and will in fact launch correctly on other Intel Macs in my lab that are also running Leopard. On those Macs that it won't work on, the icon appears differently than on those where it will launch. Grayed out as PowerPC apps are supposed to on Intel Macs in Leopard. However, on those where it will launch the icon appears correctly. It's the same exact app though and the same exact OS on all workstations.
    Has anyone seen this issue and if so, is there a way to resolve it?

    Anyone? I can not get Intunes to load without crashing. See system setup above. Is there a fix that someone can suggest?

  • ITunes won't launch after upgrade - says files are missing

    I had trouble upgrading to version 6 but disabled my anti virus software (McAfee) and the upgrade seemed to run OK. After restarting my computer iTunes won't run as it says files are missing and I need to install them. It was all working fine before. I have over 4200 tracks and I'm worried I've lost them although they are all still on my iPod. What do I do next? Please help.

    Sorted! Panic over. I ran the download again and everythin seems OK.

  • GoLive Keep Quitting and Won't Launch!!

    Hi there people...
    I was working away perfectly on GoLive CS2 yesterday, but today it will not even open for me... it keeps quitting... I have thrown out the prefs file and still no difference... the one thing I don't want to loose is all my FTP{ server details... I have all my client FTP login setting in there.... anyone got any ideas...??
    Where are these FTP login settings held so that I can make a backup for replacement later....??
    Any comments most welcome...
    Yours sincerely,

    >Can I hit the "quit operation" button for everything that I see in there?
    No, I wouldn't do that. I just meant if you had any utilities like font management, anti-virus, etc. running in the background. Just looking for what might be different between the new/clean account and the normal account.
    Could still be a font issue, but the only way I'd know to find that out would be to make a backup of your user font folder:
    (hard drive) / Users / (your account) / Library / Fonts
    ...then, copy over the Fonts folder from the clean account to replace the one in your user account and restart the machine. If GoLive still won't launch, then you could always put your back-up in place and restart again to get all your previous fonts loaded.
    Or, there's always this option:

    Beyond that, I really don't know what else to recommend outside a fresh system reformat and install, sorry.

  • Iphone 4s won't turn on. broken lock button. It just randomly turned off and won't turn back on. Can't go to apple store because going on vacation. Please help

    iPhone 4ws won't turn on. I have a broken lock button. It just randmoly turned off and won't turn on. I can't go to the apple store because I'm going on vacation. Someone please help

    Your phone is broken; there's no magic solution for you.  You can try plugging it in to wall power and see if this turns the phone on, but if it doesn't, you can either go on vacation without your iPhone, or make the time to visit the Apple store before you leave.

  • FC crashed and won't launch

    I worked with the FC Beta for about an hour and had no problems. I didn't import any artwork, just created a simple example using FC components and drawing tools. Ran the application I was working on multiple times. I went to save, actually believe I tried to "Save As" and when I clicked on the button to browse my shares to designate where to save the file, FC crashed. Tried to relaunch, the splash screen comes up and then after about 90 seconds goes away. Rebooted machine and still no launch. Anyone else experience this? Running FC on Windows Vista (64). Please help to diagnose.
