ISight and Windows (AIM) not working?

so i have a macbook pro, and am trying to video chat with a friend on a windows machine back home. He has AIM, and it says the connection was interrupted or that he declined the invitation. Why doesn't it work across platforms? Ive looked thru these forums, and tried all the trobulshooting and googling answers until my fingers bleed, but to no avail. any suggestions?
And I dont want to use skype unless absolutely necessary.

You might be better off using Skype.

Same issue Network Discovery not working and Windows Update not working

I've read the threads.
This is a Vista Ultimate upgrade. My OOOOH My I have clocked 8 hours
Everything was working before. I tried all of the recommended services turning on restarting.
Also, ran into the problem of my memory being eaten. Suspected cause hibernate mode, which I had to disable. Scott Hasselman blog recommended the fix which is a cheap work around that limits machines functionality!!
I'm and IT Engineer specializing in MS product lines since Windows 1.0. MFC foundation classes etc.. What is the real problem ?
I don't have the NetBIOS over tcp/ip in my services?
I figure that the cost of my time and other individuals pays for the OS four times over. Give me a Microsoft developer subscription or something to make me happy. This is my development machine and I'm loosing time and money.
FYI, Just upgraded my second machine to Windows 8.1 OMG !!2 Hours to upgrade after the download. I loose my configuration settings. I required to have a Windows Live whatever account!!! This is not the way to compete and keep customers.
Windows XP has been by far the best deployment experience. I need a Knowledge base that gives solutions , not a troubleshooting scenario that does or does not work!!
Please , don't tell me to go and by a OEM Surface I cannot recommend this to my clients.
Thank You

Hi,
If it worked previously, a quick solution is to run System Restore and get back to the previous status when the issue didn’t occur.
What is System Restore?
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/What-is-System-Restore
When you turn on network discovery, do you get any error prompt?
Please check if you have any error message about network discovery in event viewer.
Open Event Viewer
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Open-Event-Viewer
What information appears in event logs (Event Viewer)?
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/What-information-appears-in-event-logs-Event-Viewer
Please use Windows Live SkyDrive (http://www.skydrive.live.com/) to upload the Error logs to a public folder and share the URLs with us.
Also, please temporarily turn off your firewall and all the security programs for a test.
As far as I know, Network discovery requires that the DNS Client, DNS Client, Network Connections, Network Location Awareness, Remote Procedure Call (RPC), Function Discovery
Resource Publication, TCP/IP Netbios helper, SSDP Discovery, and UPnP Device Host services are started and set to automatic.
You should check again if you have started all these services.
Regarding the update issue, I suggest you try the following suggestions.
1. Temporarily disable firewall and antivirus program to test the issue.
2. Open the Windows Update troubleshooter
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Open-the-Windows-Update-troubleshooter
3. Reset Windows Update components

Imacs BuggyCrappy: Windows 7 and windows 8 not working

Imac not working as it is supposed to wrt bootcamp windows. Had made rounds to applestore like 10 times and working with online executives. Got to know that fusion drives are not easy to work. Either windows 8 or windows 7 works.
Apple is saying after working with me for more than a month that imca is working as expected. This is so bad from their side. I brought this expensive crappy iMac. Please do not get these products and I';m in no where land.
This device wouldn't let the drvie format it. I'm passed the days that I can return this expensive crappy system. Any suggestions how to get rid of this systems. I've to move away from Apple slowly. Not going to buy single cable from today.

Ok. Good to know that there are some people out there on w7/8. Because Engineering or folks at store still do not have any clue and still they say iMac is good. What the heck.
Again transferred to store now these guys just playing with customers. I always make sure to share the feedback with people out there either good or bad. This helps most of us. That the reason why I've put this post so that people be aware what and how things going on.

Bluetooth, iSight and Keyboard Backlight not working. Please help!

My Bluetooth stopped working along with my iSight and Keyboard Backlight. I first noticed the weird sign over the bluetooth icon, and it read "Bluetooth not available". I payed no attention to it for a while until I tried to take a picture with Photo Booth and I read "No camera found", for some reason I tried to dim the backlight on the keyboard and a blocked sign appeared under the brightness level, not letting me do anything (Later I was able to use the backlight with the LabTick app). I have tried everything. SMC, PRAM, NVRAM, logging as diferent and new users, booting in safe mode... every solution I have found on the internet has been tested by me. Then I read this about the Hardware Test solution, and surprisingly after performing the Hardware Test no problems were found! So basically my MacBook Pro (mid 2010) is not having any trouble of any sorts with anything. Then why can't I use Bluetooth, iSight or Key backlighting (which only works through LabTick). Given the fact that the hardware test shows no problems I am not comfortable with the idea of taking it to repair. There MUST be something I can actually do to fix these issues.
Does anybody have any idea? I repeat, these are NOT WORKING, NOT FOUND AND NOT AVAILABLE.
- Keyboard Backlight (Only works through LabTick)
- iSight Camera (Not found by any software)
- Bluetooth (No info appears on the system profile, the icon on the menu bar is completely gone)
All three issues happened at the same time, the night before everything was working perfectly fine.
If anyone could help... please!!!
Summary:
MacBook Pro Mid 2010 (http://support.apple.com/kb/SP583) Unibody, can't take out the battery.
Solutions tried:
- Reset SMC: Turning on while holding Shift + Ctrl + Option + Power Button (This makes my MacBook forget about the battery and start up with really loud fan noise, battery icon appears with an X on it, keyboard backlight buttons work, they show brightness level on screen, but the actual light won't work, no bluetooth, no isight)
-Reset PRAM and NVRAM: Turning on while holding Option + CMD + R + P (I have waited for 2 chimes, 3 chimes and 4 chimes at different times, nothing happens. Light, bluetooth and isight are still gone)
-Holding Power Button for 10 seconds, 20 seconds, longer... nothing changes.
-Creating and logging in as new admin user, nothing changes.
-Deleting the bluetooth.plist file and powering off and on again, also rebooting
-Deleting the SystemConfiguration folder, powering off and on again, also rebooting
-Installing "blueutil", didn't help at all, turned it off via terminal with command blueutil off.
-Performing Apple Hardware Test - Shows no erros or problems on any area after one full hour of testing (Performed the extended testing)
-Leaving it powered off overnight
Please anyone help meee!! I can't afford going crazy!
Thank you so much in advance!
Alvarock.

****UPDATE***
Hi guys i got across this forum after searching for bluetooth, front camera and the most ANNOYING no lost keyboard backligth.
After run all the test, procedures, tweeks and, and everything i remenbered that once i sent my MBP to repair at you bring i break, turns out that the little ribbon flex connector coming from the mother board ( from the rigth to left) was loose since the adhesive wich they used shrink do temp changes, anyhow y popped out the glas and found the flex cable totally sticked to the glass pulling out of the pcb board connector, reinstalled it smoothly and that FIXED the camera, bluetooth and keyboard backlight!..
thats it. hope i helped some frustraded owner.

Cortana and windows store not working on 10049 (italian)

I don't understand if those features are supposed to work. Cortana is acrivated, I can ask questions but no reply at all. The windows store doesn't work either. Am I missing something?

You can try restoring the apps by attempting the following-
            • In the Search the Web and Windows, type PowerShell
            • Right click on PowerShell and select Run as administrator.
            • Type the following command: Get-AppXPackage | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}

Itunes 7.7 and windows Vista not working!

Hello,
I have been plagued with iTunes and Vista problems ever since i got it on my Pc over 9 months ago!!
I had hoped that a multimillion company like apple most successful in this nich of the market would want to keep its customers and provide us with up to date valid software but NO..... 9moths later same problem!
Every time i uninstall and install a newER verson of iTunes i get the following sequale of errors:
1. Firstly a box appears with a sliding bar with " Please wait while windows configures iTunes "
2. When this finsihed another box appears " iTunes stopped working "
3. When u click OK (the only option) in the task bar on the bottom right a small bubble appears with the statment " Data execution prevention has closed iTunes "
Now i have been battling with this problem for some time and have tried many things like changing version of iTunes (clean uninstall and new install etc)
I have also located that if i try to start up Quicktime i get the same error box this time reading " Quicktime has stopped wotking "
I have uninstalled Quicktime and installed a new clean copy to no avail.....
Appart from throwing my iPod in the Thames and getting a samsung mp3 player, i dont see any solution... anyone have any ideas?
My Thanks in advance!

Vwsurfbum
iTunes is a free program - it doesn't make good business sense for Apple to hire people to troubleshoot problems on Windows hardware - they'd have to hire hundreds, if not thousands to remote in to PCs and spend time fixing this kind of thing!
If you are getting that message about data execution prevention, you need to get DEP turned off, come **** or high water.
How about turning off UAC, can you even do that?
And with UAC turned off, can you disable DEP?
How to Disable UAC
Remember you can always turn these back on to keep your system "safe" - this is just a test to get iTunes working.
And give yourself FULL control over the itunes folders , while you're at it:

Photoshop CS and Window 8 not working properly

I have an old cd Photoshop CS from 2003 and I have been using it since. The last time I used my photoshop CS was on my window vista and it ran beautifully. Now I got a new Window 8 and tried to download it, but it didnt run properly and then stopped working because I was unable to click on Agreement and Activate anywhere. I uninstalled it and reinstalled it and it just does not download and stuff.
I am upset that I may not be able to use my photoshop CS anymore unless there are anything I need to do?
Thank you,
Frances ardito

Try running it in Windows XP Compatibility Mode.
If that does not help, post in the appropriate forum; this is the Adobe Reader forum.

Keyboard Shortcuts and Window Grouping not working Gnome 3

I recently installed arch with Gnome 3.6.2. Opening a terminal (ctrl+alt+T) was not defined so I made a custom launcher for it.
However, between restarts, this custom launcher stops working. Also, Window Grouping (alt+~) while context-switching works intermittently between reboots. I can't figure out what might be causing the problem as dmesg does not show anything.
Any help would be appreciated! Thanks a lot!

Hi torben123,
This issue has been resolved in Flash CC, please take a look at it and let us know if you still face any issues.
Thanks!
Mohan
Mohanaraj CS, I'm still using Flash Pro CS6 on my MacBook Pro and the shortcuts don't all work correctly because Flash (German version with German language keyboard setting in OSX) seems to use an US keyboard setting only for the shortcuts internally (if I type into fields, I've got my German layout, but if I want to set up a shortcut like cmd + + for zoom in oder cmd + - for zoom out, it shows cmd + ] and cmd + / instead).
And the "fix" to an obvious bug (as you said by yourself) now is TO BUY CC??
Come on, Adobe Staff, is that how you treat your customers?
A little -known- bug but you have to get (and buy) the cloud thing, if you want it fixed... did you get the bug into the code THEREFORE in the last update?
I really love the Adobe software but this is the baddest joke since a looong time, Mohanaraj CS.

Itunes 10 and windows xp not working

Windows updates not working because it extract patches on Mac partition first., Windows updates not working because it extract patches on Mac partition first.

I have installed BootCamp 5.1 and Windows updates not working because it extract files on Mac partition before installation. Is there any workaround for same ?

To replicate this issue - Try to download .net framework 4.5 from microsoft website and than run that setup on windows partition.
Before installation. it will first extract all the binaries to a other drivers, since in my case other primary drive is E which is a Mac partition so it always give me an error while extractiing and therefore setup is not able to execute propely.
Let me try to get the screen shot of error and send it here.

I am on windows 7 and I upgraded to the newest verison of firefox and now it will not open. I have removed firefox completely and uploaded it again and that did not work. I then made sure it could get through my firewall and that did not work. So my latest attempt I removed firefox 10 again and uploaded the beta version hoping that would do it and once again nothing. It will not open at all. Please help - is there a live chat or a number to talk to someone at Firefox?

I think when uninstalling you may also have to choose (tick) to delete the preferences and other personal data like the bookmarks, stored passwords etc. to erase completely. If you are installing afresh, please try right-clicking on the file and '''Run as administrator''' to install. And when uninstalling, please also make sure choose to delete all data and also manually delete any '''Mozilla''', '''Mozilla Firefox''' or '''Firefox''' from %appdata%, %localappdata% and %programfiles%. You can open a location by typing for eg. %appdata% in the '''Run''' box (Windows key + R). You may also have to check the '''VirtualStore''' folder in %localappdata%. Files in the VirtualStore can be problematic. I think a clean installation may help.

Windows error: iTunes crashes (uninstall and reinstall does not work)

Hello all.
I (and another user) have had a problem with iTunes crashing when trying to open it. Windows just generates the typical vague error message that explains nothing as to what the problem is. Uninstalling and reinstalling did not work, and using the "Repair" option did not work either.
This was the solution. Hope it works for you. Cheers.
C ;o)
Here are the steps, some might be redundant, but still follow them to try and get iTunes to work.
1. *Extremely important* Close the QuickTime launcher in the tray on the right side of your Windows TaskBar (right-click on the blue QuickTime "Q" logo next to where you have the time and date and select "exit".) The QuickTime logo should disappear from the tray.
2. Go to where your iTunes library folder is, copy it and put it elsewhere on yoour hard-drive. This is where you asked your iTunes to point to and keeps the full repository of the files sync'ed to your iPod. If you don't do this, you will have to re-create the full library of all the music and files you have put into iTunes.
3. Unistall iTunes and reboot your PC.
4. Go to c:\Program Files\Quicktime and delete this whole folder.
5. Go to c:\Windows\System 32 and: delete the Quicktime FOLDER there; then (ii) scroll down and delete all other QuickTime related files (there should be 5-10 of them, I didn't count, some will have a name like QuickTMvr whatever).
6. Empty Recycle Bin.
7. Reboot your PC.
8. Go back to Apple Website and download: iTunes, and (ii) QuickTime installation only (without iTunes).
9. Install QuickTime FIRST (use newly downloaded version)! Check it works OK by opening it.
10. Close QuickTime lanucher from tray, as explained above in step 1.
11. Install iTunes (use the newly downloaded version).
12. Open iTunes. If it opens fine (clap your hands and say "hurray", and actually I said out loud to my PC, "Please work" and it did - I don't know if this step helped at all. ;o) ), then close iTunes FIRST BEFORE DOING THE NEXT STEP. Go to where the new iTunes (and library) folder is, rename the new iTunes folder (as you might notice when/if you open iTunes, that it is all blank), and copy the old iTunes folder (from step 2) to the same location. Re-open iTunes. It should be the way it opened the last time.

Btw.
Don't forget that, from my experience, most iTunes errors comes from malfunctioning instances of QuickTime.

I have installed windows 7 on my mac book, but sound card and cam is not working in windows wht to do?, I have installed windows 7 on my mac book, but sound card and cam is not working in windows wht to do?

I am using Mac book with windows 7. But my sound card and cam is not working when booted through windows. How can I solve this?
Thanks

Assuming that you tried to install Win 7 in bootcamp.
Power on the machine and press and hold the "option" key when you hear the bong sound.
Select the Macintosh HD icon and press "return" or just click on the icon.
Once booted into OS X go to System Preferences and select the Startup Disk icon and configure startup to use the Macintosh HD.
