  • Green screen in webcam when I open Photo Booth?

    I just bought my new Macbook Pro two weeks ago and sometimes when I open Photo Booth before I appear in the web cam it just turns green for .5 seconds.. is this a defect in the camera, or what? This computer is brand new and I am quite perturbed and I was wondering if I should return it.

    Unless your Mac is being slowed by heavy processor load, a slow internet connection, etc., the condition you describe is not normal.  Disconnect your Mac from the internet, restart, and test Photo Booth again.
    In addition to the suggestions CMCSK has offered, consider whether you have multiple apps open when you try to use Photo Booth.  Perhaps other running apps are connected to your iSight?  Perhaps your Mac merely needs an unusual amount of time to switch between many apps while continuing to support processor demands of other apps you are also running?  When looking for other apps, be sure to consider "Widgets" in your Mac's Dashboard or "Login Items" in  > System Preferences... > Users & Groups.
    If your Photo Booth green symptom occurs immediately following a restart with no other apps running and no interent connection, ask your Apple Care Service Provider to check your Mac ASAP.  It may need to be serviced or exchanged for one that works properly.

  • I have Windows 8 and get a green screen when trying to view videos

    I have Windows 8 and get a totally green screen when trying to watch videos.  Any ideas?

    go here with your problematic browser and see if you have flash player installed:  http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/find-version-flash-player.html
    if you don't see confirmation that you have the flash player installed, go here and get it:  http://get2.adobe.com/flashplayer/
    p.s. untick mcafee unless you're certain you want it.

    Hi,
    Open window Control Panel, open Windows Updates, select View update history in the left hand pane, then select 'To remove an update, see Installed Updates'.  Let the list populate, then locate update KB3001237, right click it and select Uninstall - when this has completed, restart the notebook.
    Download and reinstall the latest driver for your particular graphics chip - the drivers and software page for your notebook is Here.
    Restart after this reinstallation.
    When windows has reloaded, reinstall update KB3001237 via the standalone installation options on the following link.
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/3001237
    Again, restart after the installation.

    Hi,

    Can you help me to know what might be the problem? Thanks!

    Hi
    I guess you can watch original DVD movies without any big problems? Right?
    Well, in my opinion its matter of video codec.
    Possibly the player you are using does not support the codec used by the movie or such codec fail.
    Try to install the full K-Lite Codec Pack. This pack contains big collection of different audio and video codec.

  • Unable to get the logon screen when i open the sapgui

    Hi gurus,
    I have recently installed SAP 4.7 R/3 enterprise with the necessary requirements and after installation i am unable to get the logon screen (i am just getting the navigation bar which cannot be accessd) when i start my sapgui logon.I am getting a message at the bottom of the screen program SAPMS380,i cannot find any client or userid or password screen so can anyone help me...i need the reply as quickly as possible.
    Regards,
    Arun

    when you first install a system you'll notice that on Windows environment it takes too much to present the logon window because it needs to compile a lot of programs.
    What's the status on SAP MMC?
    Do you get or net the logon window? that's not clear on your message.
    cheers

  • HT2090 When I open Photo Booth appears a window with this message:

    Photo Booth couldn't save your photos:
    Photo Booth encountered an error when trying to save your photos. Your photos cannot be saved at this time.
    Help please!

    I have the same issue... have searched and read many threads trying to resolve but nothing works. Only suggestion I have seen is to check folder permissions...if permissions are set to Read&Write and Photo Booth still doesn't work then what? WHY DOESN'T ANYONE HAVE A SOLUTION TO THIS????

  • I am trying to log on to "Give us this day" to which I subscribe and I only get a gray screen when I log on to the site.

    If I'm being blocked by mozilla firefox from accessing this site. How do I turn off the block?

    Here's the general advice first:
    When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
    (1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
    Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
    Alternately, you also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
    orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
    On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now"
    If you have a large hard drive, this might take a few minutes.
    (2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first). While viewing a page on the site, try either:
    * right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
    * Alt+t (open the classic Tools menu) > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
    In the dialog that opens, you can remove the site's cookies individually.
    Then try reloading the page and logging in again. Does that help?
