I am losing my camera when I plugin any usb stick ...

Hi,
I am losing my camera (I am getting the message : "quit other programs..." but there is no other program using the camera) every time I connect a USB stick to my computer. Even if I remove the usb stick the problem remains. If I restart the computer everything works.
Laptop HP DV6, OS Win 7 Home premium.
Solved!

USB cameras either internal laptop or external USB can fail if a device you connect either has a driver issue or saps too much power from the controller/motherboard either by design or due to more than standard current draw. So the issue could be related to that one USB stick or even the internal USB cable in the laptop if fatigued too much and it's sensitive to the current changes. You should see if this happens with other USB devices, powered or not powered. There is also a possibility it's motherboard related. You might want to put a hub (ideally powered) between the thumb drive and your computer and see if that helps. If software related the presence of the USB stick may be causing explorer-like crashing or freezing when the drive letter is added and an error might be present in the Windows system logs possibly pertaining to a Windows explorer shell add-in or USB root hub problems. You also may want to scan for viruses/malware (malwarebytes.org) just in case adding something causes something to trigger.
You can also follow the guidance I provided in this thread to see if anything changes.

When i put a usb stick in the mac where would it appear

when i put a usb stick in the mac where would it appear

It depends on your settings. For example, in Finder Preferences, General there are checkboxes controlling whether your stick will appear on the desktop. In Finder Preferences, Sidebar there are checkboxes controlling whether your stick will appear in the sidebar of a Finder window (under Devices). If your stick is recognizable to the computer, it should always appear in Disk Utility.

How do i recover my disc when I lost the USB stick and I have system 10.6.8

I can not find my orgianl memory stick and the recovery utility dose not work on system 10.6.8

You will have to purchase either the DVD or USB again to replace the one you lost.

To upload photos from my pc onto my ipad using a usb stick. I bought a camera connector kit and tried placing the usb stick onto one of the white square adaptors, stuck it into the ipad2 and I got 'the device uses too much power'' message. Pls help.

I am not very familiar with the ipad2. I wished to transfer some photos from my pc (not an apple pc but that is the only one I have) to my ipad2 as I thought it would be easier to cull them, edit, crop etc to create albums for our recent trip (the photos are already on the pc and no longer on the camera memory card). When I place the usb stick on the adaptor and stick it onto the Ipad2 I keep getting 'device uses too much power/ requires too much power' message. I read somewhere on the internet that a usb hub could be used to solve the issue but that did not work either. What am I doing wrong? Is there actually a way around this problem. If not why does apple sell this product for Ipad users at all?
Thank you for any help/ solution you can offer.
Regards

I'd ask that on the iPad forum.

Losing smart camera connection when using web server on NI1762 smart camera

Hi
I am using 2 smart cameras ( old NI1762 and the new NI1772) with Vision builder 2011 .
I am trying to find a way to retrieve data and image to a Visual Basic 6 application. i could not find an elegant way to do it , so instead , i am sending TCP command to the smart camera as an input and the smart camera send me back a TCP command a as an output. by this way i could communicate with the smart camera . For transferring images I could not use the TCP step , so I turned on the smart camera web server to get the image by a browser Object . But the problem is that everything is going well with the TCP, but when I turned on the web server and try to communicate with it, sometimes I loose the connection with the smart camera. That is happened with the 1762 smart camera. But when I use the NI1772 it rarely happed.
Please help me. is there any other elegant way to communicate with the smart camera , and if a TCP and web server is a solution , Why the NI1762 web server is not stable ? Why i am losing the connection when browsing to the inspection page???
Thanx

Previous versions of Vision Builder had a COM library that you could use from Visual Basic 6 or other environments and talk over the network to a Smart Camera running Vision Builder AI and control its execution just how you are requesting. In more recent versions, this has been replaced by a native .NET and LabVIEW-native API that is much more fully featured. Unfortunately, I do not think the older COM mechanism is still available/supported (but I certainly could be wrong...).
However, one avenue you may wish to persue would be to call into the .NET interface from Visual Basic 6. Microsoft designed .NET to allow COM interoperibility in both directions (.NET can call into COM libraries and COM libraries can call into .NET). Take a look at the following document from Microsoft:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/zsfww439(v=vs.85).aspx
You could then look at any of the .NET (C#) examples to get an idea of the API:

TextBox losing its text when focus changed?

Hi all,
Im developing a plugin in Illustrator CS3 using VisualStudio 2005.
I design my dialog using ADM in VS.
The textbox losing its text when focus is changed.
In my dialog i have a textbox,checkbox and a ok and cancel button.
In case, if i enter the text and press tab or the checkbox (before moving the focus to ok or cancel button) the text remains uncleared.
But if i enter the text and move the mouse to ok or cancel button the text box value gets cleared.
Please someone guide me to solve this problem.
Thanks in advance,

Yeah its working when removing the setdrawproc..

Why do I use my ipod as a camera when I lose precious photos even when I try to back up before an update! Selling my ipod at the first chance I get

Why do I use my Ipod tiuch as a camera when lose precious photos of my granddaughter every time there is an operating system update? Even when I try to back up the ipod, I can't find the pics etc on my pc. It is very annoying and I am seriously considering selling my ipod because of this. No warning is given that photos will be lost. So very disappointed in aple, lost all my music last time, as well as my pics.

Yes, using the windows photo capture application is how you get photos taken with the iPod onto your pc. You should store them there, and organize them in folders.
Create one main photo folder. Inside that folder create additional folders to hold photos. Each folder will become an album on an iPod, iPad, or iPhone. Do not next any other folders inside the first album folder.
Then start iTunes on your pc and connect your iPod. Select your iPod in itunes and select the Photos tab that will be ps enter. You will most likely have first find your main photos folder. Ten select to sync all photos from your pc or select only those albums you want to have on your iPod. The click on Apply or Sync. That will copy the photos to your iPod.
If you should do something later to cause these albums to disappear from your iPod you can quickly copy them back by doing another sync.

You may be able to download and install the update from here: Digital Camera RAW Compatibility 6.01
If I upgrade to Yosemite will I be forced to go to the new Photos program
No. After upgrading (and of course make a back up first) you will need to update iPhoto to v9.6.1 (you won't be able to do this prior to upgrading). Here's how:
Go to the App Store and check out the Purchases List. If iPhoto is there then it will be v9.6.1
If it is there, then drag your existing iPhoto app (not the library, just the app) to the trash
Install the App from the App Store.
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.
Photos is v1 of a new app, as yes it's not as mature as iPhoto. It uses a different technology for working with external editors. That requires Adobe to write an extension to let it hook into the new app. Not done yet, neither has anyone else.
Going forward: iPhoto will run on OS 10.10., but there is no guarantee for subsequent versions of the OS. You might want to factor that into your anger term thinking.

Is it possible to automatically trigger a camera when someone arrive in the background hahaha.. Just a wild thoughts you know, like when someone suddenly pop up, the camera will automatically fire. I'm planning to use it in our Horror tunnel this october.

You could try to use a motion sensor - in a do-it-yourself store you can buy motion sensors that turn on the lights when a burglar approaches the property. Connect this sensor to the remote control of your camera instead of to a light.
Probably you can buy ready-made motion sensitive remote controls, the photographers here will know. You would need this kind of remote control for wildlife photography.

Bridge will do the job. View > Sort > ByType. Then you can choose a group of one type and put the files in a separate folder.

I think the McAfee suite will do the trick when I pay them a one-time fee of $69 or $179 for a year for unlimited support.
Your call of course but IMO a waste of money. Please read this first:
There are many forms of ‘Malware’ that can affect a computer system, of which ‘a virus’ is but one type, ‘trojans’ another. Using the strict definition of a computer virus, no viruses that can attack OS X have so far been detected 'in the wild', i.e. in anything other than laboratory conditions. The same is not true of other forms of malware, such as Trojans. Whilst it is a fairly safe bet that your Mac has NOT been infected by a virus, it may have another security-related problem, but more likely a technical problem unrelated to any malware threat.
