Logitech webcam no longer works on 10.8.5.

My c615 logitech webcam stopped working on my mac mini when I updated to 10.8.5. Logitech says it is a mac problem. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Linc,
If I have done all my system updates, will I have the supplemental or do I need to download it specifically from your link? Thank you in advance.

W520 webcam no longer working after Windows 8.1 upgrade

Hello,
I upgraded my w520 from Win 7 to Win 8 last year with zero problems.
Now I upgraded my W520 Win 8 to Win 8.1 via the store download. Except the webcam everything works fine.
In e.g. the Skype desktop application, Google Hangouts or the camera app, the built in webcam no longer works.
The green light turns on, but I just get the crossed out camra icon in e.g. the Skype video options. No video.
I see there are no drivers yet for Win 8.1 on the Lenovo support site for the w520 camera.
In device manager it still shows the 2011 camera driver 1.1.0.1147 and says "This device is working properly."
But it does not work properly.
Did anyone get the camera to work or is it just a matter of waiting for a driver to be released eventually?
I tried uninstalling, reinstalling, camera is enabled in the Bios and permissions are set to give Skype and the camera app access to the camera. I also tried the W530 drives as was suggested elsewhere.
Thank you!
Solved!

try getting the communicastion utility installed under 8.1. The crossed image is the cameras security mode.

Webcam no longer working in Skype

Hi All
I have a Dell laptop with an integrated webcam and for some reason last Thursday the webcam no longer work in skype. It was working the day before. It still works in yahoo. When I try to make a video call or test it under options - video settings I get a black screen with that moving circle indicating that the video is loading but it never loads. The internet connection is very fast. Has anyone else seen this issue or know how to resolve it?
Thank you in advance.
Alan

There are two main reasons why their are video incompatibilities in the newer releases.
1. The way video support was redesigned in 6.2 and above left some cameras incapable of supporting the new video mode in older style hardware. For this reason the Skype special version (6.1.x) was made available. This also resolves video incompatibility issues between very old releases (i.e. Skype for MAC OSX 2.8 and Skype Special Version for Windows allows video communication to occur between contacts vs. just audio)
https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA12252/why-can-t-i-make-video-calls-on-the-latest-version-of-skype...
2. Bugs/incompatibilities are sometimes introduced in the newer releases like the recently reported issues with Dell XPS model cameras. In that instance, you would have to downgrade to 6.3 or below which does not have that flaw.
Skype 6.3 (the previous release)
http://download.skype.com/msi/SkypeSetup_6.3.0.105.msi
So while it may be highly inconvenient, if you are aware of the above you should be able resolve any video-related issue. I for one have been fortunate as none of my laptop webcams including the one on my Dell has failed to work in any Skype for Windows release.

Right-click Flash selection of webcams no longer works. Bug?

After some tense struggles and several failed webcam swaps, our support team discoverd that using right-click to select a webcam no longer works after our hosted service's recent upgrade. Is this necessary, or a bug?

Yes, the menu driven webcam selection process works fine. It's just the old way to select webcam source that no longer works. The worst part is there's no indication that the selection process that has always worked no longer works. Hence my technican swapping webcams, assuming they aren't working.

WebCam No Longer Works In MSN Messenger. PLEASE HELP!

I have had the Webcam Instant for about a year and a half now. It has worked all the way up until last week when we moved my computer. It works in the Creative Webcam Center but when I try to use it on MSN it says that it either is not plugged in or Im using it in some other program. and when it says that I never have Creative Webcam open. What do I do?!? Please Help ASAP

HI!
first things to do is uninstall anything regarding to the camera ... clean registry and so on with some tools like tuneup utilties ... and then reinstall with the latest drivers.
Then it should work.
If this doesnt help unistall messenger and reinstall....
I think there is no way to rewrite all settings which can be wrong without uninstalling and cleaning ...

Thinkpad SL500 webcam no longer working

Hello,
I have a Lenovo ThinkPad SL500. I've used the built in video camera for years - but in the last few weeks, it disappeared. Unfortunately, it had been a little bit since I'd tried it, and I'm not sure when exactly it happened. Skype doesn't see a webcam, either.
In Control panel > Scanners and Cameras - nothing is there.
When I go to Lenovo Camera Center, the small box opens... but when I click the option for Roxio Media Import, which I've used in the past to take photos with the integrated camera, it says "Only one instance of Media Capture or Plug & Burn may be run at the same time." However, I've check the task manager, and I'm not seeing anything running. If I click the Video Conference link, it just wants to download Skype. Which I have, and is working fine, but only for voice calls.
I've checked my firewall settings, but without a better sense of what I'm looking for, it seems fine.
Per this forum post (http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/SL-Series-ThinkPad-Laptops/Integrated-Camera/td-p/510091) I tried to download the Communications Utility, but got the below error:
Trying to install
Error
Can't find script engine VBScript for script
"C:\Users\corie\AppData\Local\Temp\is-UBAAH.tmp\SYSCHECK.vbs"
Then - "this system is not supported."
I'm really not quite sure what to do next. Thank so for any suggestions on what might have caused this.

Hi, coriej
I did some research on the error "Can't find script engine VBScript for script" and found this thread from a Microsoft forum that may help. The solutions posted here mainly include registry edits or commands through the Command Prompt, but they are only trying to fix the above error, not necessarily trying to install the same software you are. That being said, however, the solutions in the thread have worked for others and may work for you. Once the proper steps have been taken to remove the error, then try reinstalling the software and see if it works. Also, registry edits can harm your system if done improperly, so I would follow the instructions to the letter and consider backing up just in case something goes awry.
I would also make sure that the camera is set to Enabled or Unlocked in the BIOS under Security ► I/O Port Access.
Best of luck. Let me know how it goes,
Adam

Webcam no longer working

I have an ENVY m4-1015dx Notebook
I just used my webcam last week to skype, but I went to skype last night and the video option didn't work. Thinking it might have just been skype, I tried to open the camera app. It prompts me to connect a camera. I've been directed to go to imaging devices in the device manager, but the "imaging devices" option isn't there.
How do I get my webcam back?

Hello @HelpDana ,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand you're having issues with the webcam on your ENVY m4 notebook.
If the imaging devices section is not available in Device Manager you might need to show the hidden devices. You can do this by clicking View at the top of Device Manager and selecting Show hidden devices in the list.
If the webcam is not listed in Imaging devices, you may also find it under Other devices, listed as an Unknown device or Imaging device.
If you have any Unknown devices, right click on them and select Properties. In the Properties window select the Details tab at the top. Change the drop down menu to Hardware Ids and post the first ID in the list in a reply.
If the webcam is listed as an imaging device or as a webcam in Imaging devices after showing hidden devices, right click on it and select Update driver software. Allow Windows to search automatically and see if the driver installs and resolves the problem.
The drivers for webcams are built in to the Windows operating system and I cannot provide you with a simple download. If the device is not listed you're looking at a hardware issue or registry error. I would suggest performing a system restore to before the issue started. You can see how to do this here: Using Microsoft System Restore (Windows 8) or Using Microsoft System Restore (Windows 7).
I look forward to your reply!

Hi,
As there is more than 1 IDT entry in Recovery Manager, cancel this and use the following method instead.
Download the IDT Audio installer on the link below and save it to your Downloads folder.
http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp55001-55500/sp55094.exe
When done, open windows Control Panel, open Device Manager and open up Sound, Video and Game Controllers. Right click the IDT device and select Uninstall - you should also get a prompt to remove the current driver, tick the box to allow this and then proceed with the uninstall.
When complete, restart the notebook and let Windows fully load. Open your Downloads folder, right click on the IDT installer and select 'Run as Administrator' to start the installation. When this has completed, restart the notebook again.
Regards,
DP-K

My Side Buttons No Longer Work

Just upgraded to Mountain Lion a few days ago and suddenly my side buttons on my Logitech mouse no longer work. Can anyone help me out with solving this problem?
Also, while my logitech bluetooth mouse works, my mac can't detect it so I can adjust the prefrences.

Can anyone help me out with solving this problem?
If anyone can, it's Logitech. Check their website for updated drivers.

Camera app not working with logitech webcam with new windows 8.1 update

My Logitech camera app was working fine before win 8.1 update.
ALL drivers are updated.
Camera works fine when I run Logitech program/software, just won't work with camera app included win windows 8.
I just get a dark screen.
I searched forums. This appears to be a common problem. Microsoft Techs just state uninstall camera app and reinstall. But, this is an app that won't let me reinstall. Plus, I search Microsoft Store and can't find the camera app.
Any suggestions.
Thanks

I'm having more or less the same issue, but it extends beyond just the app. I'm replying here because this is the topic I was referred to by one of your support members on twitter and I'm trying to help keep things organized so that hopefully one day Microsoft
can solve the issue.
I have the Logitech Webcam HD C 525 which worked perfectly fine on my Windows Vista Home Premium machine. I recently built myself a computer and purchased Windows 8.1 complete (I heard that you could chose the OS language and as I'm living overseas I was really
happy to finally be able to use Windows in English).
I'm using Windows 8.1 64 bit and got around to installing skype on Christmas eve so I could video chat with my family back home. However, I ran into an annoying issue when trying to use the webcam. I installed the latest drivers and applications clean and straight
directly from Logitech, plugged in the webcam and it was not detected.
Following the troubleshooting info from Logitech, I then switched my camera from a USB 3.0 port to a 2.0 one, this shouldn't matter, but I tried it anyway. It changed nothing. I uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers multiple times with no change.
After a bit of reaching out on twitter I had a friend suggest using ONLY the Microsoft drivers for my device. I COMPLETELY removed and deleted the device and drivers from my machine and then installed them using the info found here in the troubleshooting section:
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/camera-app-faq.
I plugged my camera back into the 2.0 port and my camera flicked on for 2 seconds (preview included) then shut off again and told me it wasn't detectable. I opened Skype and it seemed ok. When it came time to actually Skype with my family skype could no longer
detect my webcam. It flicked on and off briefly and told me it wasn't detectable.
The current state of my webcam is that it is buggy and unreliable. Opening skype or the logitech app or ANY app that uses my camera yields the same result: an endless loop of my camera flickering on and off, and messages of "not detected" between
images from my camera. The camera still works on my old computer normally, thus it is not an issue with the camera itself.
I have read many people having my same issue with various webcams (not just Logitech because I briefly considered buying a Microsoft one) and the one thing in common was it was all on Windows 8.1
As posted in a few posts above I downloaded and ran Process Monitor while I opened skype and my camera sat through the endless detect/non-detected issue it has currently. I hope I have the log information saved correctly (if not I can re-do it, it is not difficult
to reproduce as it happens all the time). I could not figure out how to copy/pase the information in the log file, so here is a link to my log file:

Some webcam drivers (Quicktime Components) no longer work in Snow Leopard

I have two webcams, both of which worked before the update to Snow Leopard, both of which no longer work.
They are recognised by their own utility applications and I can see the video, but the QuickTime components used to transport this video to other programs eg Skype, simply do not work.
Does anyone know why this is? Is there anything that can be done about it?
Is it something about QuickTime that got removed or changed in the update? Can this be rectified? Does it require the vendors of these webcams to rewrite their drivers (I can't see why they should)?
The webcams in question are:
Microsoft LifeCam VX-1000, previously working via a Sonix driver for the chipset it uses, that was modified to recognise the product ID of the device. Partially working with Macam.
Creative PD1000, previously working with the Macam component.
Macam works, just not the QuickTime component.
Any help at all would be greatly appreciated.

Have you updated Skype to the snow leopard compatible version?
Yes. Nothing to do with Skype, although latest version of Skype has huge problems on it's own anyway.
Many plug-ins need to be updated, and I wouldn't be surprised if you had a codec involved that might need updating as well...
Well that does seem to be the case, although I can't see webcam manufacturers updating their legacy products' drivers just for SL.
Does it require the vendors of these webcams to rewrite their drivers (I can't see why they should)?
You don't? Do you know about the 64-bit capabilities that are now part of Snow Leopard?
Uh, yes, but surely 32-bit plugins still work? System Preferences does just fine with 32-bit preference panes.. surely they wouldn't just yank out support for hundreds of old webcams without saying anything?
I'd really like to get Apple's official take on what's going on here. in the Macam forums, soo many people are reporting broken webcams under Snow Leopard.

I recently purchased a new Logitech Webcam and can't get it working on the site that I use. I can see myself on the small screen but can't get it to transmit to the person I am camming with. Can someone help me with this, it is very frustrating to say the least, I have tried everything I know how to do.
Thank You

I used to use Internet Explorer, but can't get on it now so I use Google Chrome.
