Every since ios8 my camera is not working with text or with other apps that worked flawlessly before. I just get a black screen when I go to take a photo.

Ever since downloading ios8 onto my 5S the camera isn't cooperating with other apps--messages, Freshbooks in particular.  What's up with that? Very frustrating!

MacBook Pro  / Mozilla Firefox / Netflix / Silverlight Update solved - DON'T DWNLOAD FROM NETFLIX
I solved this problem tonight. I have a MacBook Pro with 10.5.8. I know, it's old. But I love my Netflix and I recently noticed that Firefox plays Netflix much better.  Then I suddenly got this message that I needed to download the latest Silverlight - it only takes 30 seconds! - WRONG.   However, after much searching, I finally did the steps in order and it worked.  
This was after repeatedly downloading Silverlight from the Netflix site without success.  So here's what I did:
1. Went to http://www.microsoft.com/getsilverlight/Get-Started/Install/Default.aspx
2. Followed the directions. I felt like such an idiot for not doing it right before.
3. Go to your hard drive and search for "Silverlight" to locate ANY existing Silverlight files: .dmg, etc.
    [also check your Libary/ Internet Plug-ins, but the above search is faster]
4. Drag it all to the trash and empty it.
5. Go back to the Get  Silverlight page and click on the Install on that page, not the Netflix site.
6. Note the steps for Safari or Mozilla Firefox - I wanted Firefox, so I follwed those instructions.
7. Once it's installed, close all the browsers and Restart that bad boy. Right away.
8. Open a browser, go to Netflix and proceed to joyfully rot your brain with Netflix content. Yay!

    Are using Apple's camera connection kit with the SD reader that came with the kit, or are you using a third-party kit ? Also what type of card are you using : SD, SDHC, SDXC ?
    The message doesn't relate to the battery level of the iPad. Only a relatively small amount of power is supplied to the iPad's dock (it used to be higher), so a lot of other card readers can't be used with the kit because they require more power in order to operate.

  • Acrobat X1, Purchased upgrade, failed as no valid product to upgrade from existed (my mistake but want my money back!). So purchased Acobat X1 std, install seemed OK, but does not work as I continue to get the upgrade screen saying no valid product to upg

    Acrobat X1, Purchased upgrade, failed as no valid product to upgrade from existed (my mistake but want my money back!). So purchased Acobat X1 std, install seemed OK, but does not work as I continue to get the upgrade screen saying no valid product to upgrade from? So now I have spent lots $$ and nothing working. Why is this so complicated? what do I need to do?

    Hi Rave,
    Thanks for this; my issue is that I have now supposedly purchased a retail version of Acrobat X1 (i.e just spent more $$, after the upgrade attempt  to Acrobat X1 failed), and while this feigns an OK install, it fails in someway to override the "Upgrade Acrobat X1 version".  E.G. once I load up to read an acrobat file the "upgrade version" executes/intercepts and ask for serial numbers and check for a previous qualifying version which I do not have, (BUT what I do have is the current retail version of acrobat X1 which is not recognised)
    Do I need to uninstall and start over again? (I am reluctant to do this as I am sure serial number issues will arise, as I assume downloaded file will be cleaned up etc, and I am not spending more money trying again!)
    Any suggestions?

  • On my iPad2 I get a black screen when Itry to open FaceTime.  Others can contact me and the camera and audio work.  How do I fix this problem?

    On my iPad2 I get a black screen when I attempt to open Face Time.  Others can contact me and they come in with video and audio.  I can chat with them as well.  Is there a fix for this?  I have verified my email address twice.  I have turned FaceTime on and off several times as well. 
    Thanks,
    Bill

    I double clicked the round button when the icons appeared I held down and selected the FaceTime icon while it was shaking I selected the minus sign on the FaceTime icon closing it out.  Then I restarted the iPad and bingo FaceTime works now.

  • When I watch tv shows in Front Row that I've bought off iTunes the audio gradually falls out of sync with the video. It does not happen with other files that I have converted into mp4s. Any ideas for fixing this? It's a huge bummer...

    I too have the same problem.  The audio drop out of sync in about 5 sec in not uncommon for the audio to be 30+ sec behind video.  Apple needs to fix this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   its a joke,  my iphone is all messed up after the last update as well.  at one time not to long ago apple products and software were top rated, not so much any more, more and more problems are showing up and apple is unwilling or unalbe to fix the many issues.  Apple needs to fix the audio sync problem, it not the computer hardware or other software it ITUNES!!!!,  there is no workaround other then hitting pause and hitting pause and hitting pause to temp fix the problem. 

  • Edited clips will not open with other apps

    After editing video clips using Adobe Premiere Elements, clips will not open with other apps (like VLC, Media Player, etc...)

    Just saw your post and wanted to leave a just in case note.
    From the information that you and John T. Smith just exchanged, it would appear that you attempted to play back the saved project file (project.prel) with your VCL Player and Windows Media Player. You need to export the Timeline content to a file format that is supported by the player of your choice. By now, you have probably been there and done that.
    This is the just in case note about projects and their project.prel file....let us say that you have two separate projects and you decide to put the content of one project into another. Cannot do. One cannot import a project.prel into another project.prel. You would have to export the Timeline of one and then import that export in the other project. Alternatively, those with Premiere Elements 8.0/8.0.1, 9.0/9.0.1, and 10 could use the ClipMate program to copy/paste between programs without issues. However, with Premiere Elements 11 there are some problems in that regard.

  • I am trying to reinstall winows 7 on my iMac and it will not install. I am using the latest drivers ( v4.0) but I still get the black screen. I have made sure that the auto install and the drivers are at the root level on my USB flash drive.

    I am reinstalling W7 on my iMac and keep getting the black screen. I had installed W7 before when using Snow Leapord but W7 doesn't want to install with the latest drivers (v4.0). W7 was working with Lion but I had to uninstall W7 and now I cannot reinstall.

    NOTE: Just discovered that Adobe is making a bigger mess than any previously.
    They now have a 32-bit uninstaller for Flash '''''AND''''' a separate 64-bit uninstaller for Flash. You will need the 64-bit uninstaller for what you had installed above.
    *32-bit uninstaller: http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/current/uninstall_flash_player_32bit.exe
    *64-bit uninstaller: download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/current/uninstall_flash_player_64bit.exe

  • Firefox mobile does not work in Samsung Fascinate, only get a blank screen for any search.

    I downloaded Firefox Mobile to my Samsung Fascinate. I had no problem with the download or installation. When I tried to do a search, all I got was a blank screen in the Firefox window. The Samsung Fascinate is set up to run only Bing. It does not like doing Google searches. When I try to force it to do a Google search through the existing Bing browser, I get the search result, but when I go to a site, none of the buttons work. In Firefox Mobile, I just get a blank white box in the Firefox window.

    You can continue using nightly builds without uninstalling. Fennec will offer to download a new nightly build whenever one is available.
    If you want to switch to a release version of Firefox, then you will need to uninstall the nightly build first. This will reset your history/bookmarks/settings.
    We are planning to release Firefox 4 beta 2 for Android later this week, so if you prefer to run an official release then you might to wait a few days and install that one.

  • Netflix not working with Mavericks, just get a black screen.

    I just recently installed Mavericks, netflix worked fine before the system upgrade.  Any help would be appreciated.
    I have uninstalled and reinstalled silverlight.  The plug-in is in my harddrive/library/internet plug-in folder.  Safari sees it in the preference pane.  I have set the safari preference for silverlight to always allow and to run in unsafe mode.  I have unchecked the preference to stop plug ins to save power. 
    Netflix loads, switches to the playback screen.  When I move the mouse I see the play/pause and other associated buttons.  It is showing that the movie is loading to my computer, no playback starts.

    I recently had the "Plug-In Failure" on Netflix after I got a new 2014 15" Macbook Pro Retina.
    My coworker found this fix. The current version of silverlight won't start if the machine is running with the discrete NVIDIA GPU. Some apps need it and using an external monitor will cause it to use the discrete. Turn off all your apps and unplug the external montitor. This should put you back in the integrated Intel GPU. Now try to start a Netflix video, once its running you should be able to plug your external monitor back in and start other apps.
    You can also use this utility http://gfx.io to see which GPU is being used.

  • My front facing camera is not working. How can I get it to work again?

    My back camera works just fine but when I switch it over to the front facing camera it just freezes and never switches then takes awhile to switch back over. It first started in the Snapchat App but now my actual camera App is doing it.

    Hi Evie ray,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.  Some good first things to try are forcing any camera-using apps to close, and then restarting and resetting:
    iOS: Force an app to close
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
    iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting

  • I just upgraded to 4s and can't connect to my work wifi.  Netflix is not acknowledged and neither is my other apps that need the web.

    my games freeze after 5 minutes of play.  I've upgraded to ios 5.1 could that be the problem?  Should my roaming be on? Help

    Yeah, turn roaming on.  The work wifi issue may be a firewall.  Have you checked with your IT department?

  • I get a black screen when taping my CAMERA icon.

    You can't delete the Camera App.
    Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPad?
    Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after the iPad shuts down, then press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
    Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds). Ignore the "Slide to power off".
