IMAQ USB Close leaves the camera open

Hi,
I hope somebody can help me with that one. I have a DirectShow compliant USB camera, that I got to work with the IMAQ USB VIs. I can acquire images, enumerate the devices and get the options dialog. However calling the IMAQ USB Close VI does seem to have any effect. As the next time I try to call IMAQ USB Open afterwards I got error -1074396024 until I terminate the host process and restart LabVIEW again.
I am using LabVIEW 8.0, on W2k German
I also tried the samples (e.g. Grab.vi) provided with the same effect.
Running a tool that collects system debug messages (send via OutputDebugString) I got 'Export: Break Connect' coming from the IMAQ USB Close VI, but I also see, that the underlying DirectShow Interface doesn't receive any close call. Is there an Interface missing in the DirectShow interface (which?) or is this a bug in the IMAQ USB Interface (not very likely as a lot of guys seem to be happy with it)?
Can anybody help please?
Greetings,
Stefan

Stefan,
below is an excerpt about the system requirements for IMAQ USB:
- Windows 2000/XP (English, Italian,
Japanese, French, Italian, Norwegian, Dutch, Spanish/Portuguese,
Russian, and simple Chinese)
- LabVIEW 7.0 or higher with NI Vision 7.1 or higher for the USB LabVIEW support.
- Vision Assistant 7.1 or higher for the USB Vision Assistant plugin module.
In general IMAQ USB is not supported but I will forward the information to R&D.
The following link povides other possibilities:

    I'm using windows 7, trying to download pictures from my canon 5d mark 2, but when I click import, the camera does not appear. I've tried changing USB ports, switching the camera on and off, trying a different USB cord, tried a different camera, but nothing. Please help! This problem only started a few days ago on lightroom 3.6, upgraded to 5.5, but still not working. Thanks.

    Can you see the Canon EOS camera and image files using Windows Explorer? If not disconnect the camera, close all applications' shutdown Windows, and TURN OFF the power to your system and ALL connected devices. Disconnect all phones, iPads, and any other USB devices and restart your system.
    Retry Windows Explorer and see if your camera is showing. If so try LR import again.

  • My iPhone 4s clacks, close by the camera? All iPhoneacc 4s clacks close by the camera, why?

    Hey all, my iPhone 4s clacks, close by the camera... Knows anyone the reason why?
    Thanks in advance and best regards.

    This is a Windoze bug, or more accurately the photo viewing software included with Windoze does not support the orientation flag values included with a photo' s EXIF data now being used/implemented by newer cameras and by the iPhone beginning with iOS4. This also speeds up the time is takes for a captured photo to be saved/processed.
    http://www.impulseadventure.com/photo/exif-orientation.html
    Software Support for Orientation
    While there are countless software programs available today that display JPEG images, only a subset of them actually interpret the EXIF Orientation flag. Just like color management, many programs simply display the JPEG image as it is stored, and completely ignore any extra details stored in the file's metadata. The most important of these additional details is the Orientation flag, stored in the JPEG APP1 marker under EXIF IFD0.
    Application
    Orientation Supported?
    Windows Picture and Fax Viewer
    No
    IrfanView
    Yes (need to enable)
    Photoshop
    Yes
    Not a problem with OS X on a Mac.

    When I connect the USB dongle from the camera connection kit I get an accessory not supported by iPad message. The card reader triggered the same msg but works now. Same msg with vga. Others have posted this problem but the only suggestion anyone has offered is to reboot, which doesn't help. I've tried.

    Thanks Fred. The nearest Apple store is about two hours away, so we did the next best thing & took it to Best Buy. It stumped the "Apple Guy" there. Apparently when an Apple product is turned on it works. Period. I'm impressed that the products are normally so dependable--it just stinks that I got the one in a million that's not. Anyway, now we wait for a service call Tuesday morning. Thanks again!

  • Is there a way to switch off by default the video on FaceTime? I only ever use this app for audio/calls and hate the video being on. I especially hate that if I leave the app open to receive calls it means the camera and green light are on.

    My issue is that I can't find a way to have the camera switched off when the app is open and so this means if I want the app open all day to receive calls then the camera is going to be on the whole time. Even if it didn't potentially drain the battery, or add to the CPU usage or whatever else may cause any problems whatsoever (wheel of death!), I just don't want the camera on as I don't see myself ever wanting to use the video call feature but I would use the audio/call multiple times throughout the day to make and receive calls. The camera being on when the app is open is enough to prevent me from using the app. Also ever since seeing that episode of criminal minds where if you saw the green light on above the screen then it meant the killer was watching you!
    Basically I just can't believe there isn't a way to disable the camera whilst having the app running. I know when initiating an audio call the camera goes away, but I would like the camera away the whole time. To me it just would make sense that if you click the video option then the camera is on, and if you click the audio option then the camera goes off. It just seems waaaaay to basic a thought for apple to have missed... Let's face it, we're not all as pretty as the people in the apple adverts and don't want to see our ugly mugs staring back as us when we work all day at our macs!

    I have exactly the same concern. It seems it would be a simple fix for Apple to allow users to turn off the camera (and even the mic) while keeping FaceTime open -- especially now that it turns out FaceTime must remain open in order to send and receive iPhone calls on a Mac.
    I like to think this new functionality of FaceTime will be baked into a future release of Yosemite, as the current setup has that not-quite-finished feel of a work in progress. In the meantime, there's nothing like a little piece of Post-It stuck over the camera to keep the NSA from watching your face as you type a post to the Apple Support Communities.

  • Suddenly I can't access photos on my iPod touch- opens a blank page and then closes- email- opens a blank page and then closes- the camera- opens but wont work and then closes. Facebook works ok though. Any ideas?

    My iPod touch has stopped working in selective areas. The camera turns on, I can see the image but the buttons don't work. The camera then closes.
    When I try to access photos, I get a blank page which then closes. The same is true when I try to access mail. Facebook and my music works fine though. Ideas?

    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: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.                       
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • Leave the lid open when plugging a MBP into a 30inch?

    I play games, watch video & really try and get the most out of my Macbook Pro. When I connect it to my 30inch ACD I usually leave the lid closed... but recently have been opening it once I plug it in, to try and help with heat.
    Is this necessary?

    Close it. If you leave it open the internal display will be lit and will display something, so you have to set it to Mirroring or Extended Display, but if you close it then the 30" gets the entire video card.
    To prevent overheating, put the laptop on a hard surface so that air can flow under it, and do not block the large long vent that spans the entire back of the laptop. Whether it's open or closed isn't going to make as much difference as the airflow through the vent and past the bottom.

  • Should I leave the email open on my MBP

    Hello all, should I leave my mail open or closed on my MBP?  I like to know when I have mail and thought that I might just leave it up?  Also I do like to hear a mail sound when mail comes in.

    That is up to you. No harm will come to your Mac or the mail program by leaving it open.

  • Does any one use the SPIGEN iphone case? if so, can you tell me the difference between the ultra fit, ultra fit a, ultra fit s, and ultra hybrid? also does this case get in the way of the camera flash? i ask because the camera opening seems so small.

    also if you dont recommend this case please point in the direction of the best slim fit case

    The Ultra Fit A has a cutout on back to display the Apple logo. The Ultra Fit and Ultra Fit S do not. And the Ultra Fit and Ultra Fit A are a soft matte finish all over, while the Ultra Fit S has a brushed finish in its midsection.
    The Ultra Hybrid is a bumper, with back protection. (1) It's made of TPU (for anti-shock) vs. the all polycarbonate (for anti-slip) Ultra Fit/A/S.
    (2) It also has power and volume buttons overlaying Apple's, which the Ultra Fits do not. (3) Lastly, it covers all four sides, whereas the Ultra Fits cover the left and right sides and wrap around the four corners, leaving the top and bottom exposed (which is good if you want to connect some models of headphones or adapters that require more space there).
    They're all properly designed for the 5/5S flash, including the black around that cutout (you don't want to buy a case that doesn't have a black rim there).
    IMO Spigen's slim cases are better made/more durable than other third-party cases (of which I've bought aplenty). I love mine!

  • Can I leave the display open for say all day while downloading torrent file

    Sometimes it takes all day to download a torrent file can i leave the display on or should i turn it off and will my macbook keep downloading the file thank you

    It's fine to leave it on but you can also just set the display to go to sleep and let your computer keep working. The settings are under *System Preferences* in *Energy Saver*. I usually have mine turn off after 15 minutes so it will rest while my download or other work continues.

  • Why is the mobile site for iPad requiring a login every time I go to gmail (even if I leave the tab open while I use another tab?

    For the last week or so every time I go to gmail (even when I've left the tab open) I am required to sign in. This is an unnecessary step that I really don't want to do. I don't like the gmail app. And I feel like this sign in issue is forcing me to use the app. Why is this happening? Is there a way around this?
    Thank you for any input.

    Can you post back here a screenshot from this issue?

  • File.renameTo() bugg? Leaves the file open

    I came across the strangest behaviour of File.renameTo() for the following steps:
    1. Rename a file - successful
    2. Rename the same file again - will fail. Also delete will fail.
    -------- some code ----------
    File file=new File("F1");//nonexistent file
    //write some to the file - just to make the file to be created
    RandomAccessFile rFile=new RandomAccessFile(file,"rw");
    rFile.writeBytes("Hello");
    rFile.close();
    //A successful rename
    boolean renamed=file.renameTo(new File("F2"));
    System.out.println("renamed="+renamed);
    //This is commented code for now
    //rFile=new RandomAccessFile(file,"rw");
    //rFile.close();
    //This rename fails!
    renamed=file.renameTo(new File("F3"));
    System.out.println("renamed again="+renamed);
    As it seems File.renameTo() sets the file to open, since neither renameTo or delete will work after a renameTo.
    BUT, if I uncomment the commented code, it will work again! I just open a dummy RandomAccessFile (FileInputStream would work as well I guess) and then close it, and somehow the file is set to closed again, and the second renameTo() will work.
    Is this a bugg in File.renameTo()? I run on windows XP and have java 1.4.1_02-b06. I couldn't find any comment about this in the Bug Database.
    Gil

    Aha! so the reason why the opening of the dummy RandomAccessFile did it in my previous code, was becase it created the old File "F1" again that could be renamed again. So the correct code should instead be:
    -------- some code ----------
    File file=new File("F1");//nonexistent file
    //write some to the file - just to make the file to be created
    RandomAccessFile rFile=new RandomAccessFile(file,"rw");
    rFile.writeBytes("Hello");
    rFile.close();
    //A successful rename
    File file2=new File("F2");
    boolean renamed=file.renameTo(file2);
    System.out.println("renamed="+renamed);
    //Now this rename also succeeds!
    renamed=file2.renameTo(new File("F3"));//do rename on file2!
    System.out.println("renamed again="+renamed);

  • HT4106 Will the camera kit allow you to view images from a usb flash drive?

    Will the camera kit allow you to view images from a usb flash drive?

    You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
    Plug the USB flash drive (works the same with an SD card) into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
    Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)
