macbook camera dosent work all of the time

If you have not already done so, shut down Mac, restart, and try again.
If the camera still does not work, use all relevant suggestions from Apple's http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2090
(Apple has changed the built-in camera's name on newer Macs from "iSight" to "FaceTime" and then to "FaceTime HD." Regardless of the name of your Mac's built-in camera, the article's info and troubleshooting hints apply.)

Wacom Tablet doesn't seem to work all of the time?

I have a Wacom Intuos 3 tablet, not more than a year old. I recently installed it onto my Macbook Pro and it worked fine, but when I unplugged it and came back to work with it later, it doesn't seem to work. The mouse doesn't respond to where I click on the pad.
So, I've reinstalled this a couple of times and was able to make it work perfectly, but today when I went back to work in photoshop, it doesn't seem to be responding again.
Does anyone have any tips? I know that Leopard likes you to eject USB devices instead of just pulling them out of the slot, but I don't see anywhere to eject it.
Does anyone know what's up?

Downloaded a driver from website, tablet works now.

Why does my Flash addon crash repeatedly when I access sites to use video chat? Can't get camera to work most of the time. Adobe sent me HERE.

When using video chat sites like Stickam my Adobe Flash plugin (latest version) crashes continuously. Never does with Internet Explorer. Allowing websites to access my CAM and MIC with latest version of Firefox rarely is successful. ADOBE sent me HERE. Said the problem is your crappy browser.

Saving to SharePoint works only half the time for Windows 7 Users--all the time for Windows XP users

We have a SharePoint 2010 Environment with hardware load balancing, 2 WFEs, 2 Apps Servers and 1 SQL Server. This was built in October 2013. Office Integration and Saving back to SharePoint works all of the time for users on XP. It works sporadically for
users on Windows 7. When Windows 7 users do the following:
Opening an Office Document from computer and saving it to SharePoint
Within a Document Library, using Save As from an opened document
When selecting in a Document Library from the Document Tab> “New” and then the desired content type
Send> Save to SharePoint from within Office Document
They may either be brought to the SharePoint library (correct) or to My Documents (incorrect).
In the case of number 1 (Opening an Office Document from computer and saving it to SharePoint)--using Save and Send will sometimes open the SharePoint library and sometimes open My Documents.
Our URL is https://CompanyName.domainname.com/Sites/SiteCollectionName
The intermediary "Sites" is actually a blank path.
When My Documents is opened I've noted with Fiddler (a web debugger) that we get a 404 on sites:
Could this be the issue?

Some things to double check:
Ensure that you have sticky sessions enabled on your load balancer
Check that your WebDav calls are making it to the server
Ensure that you have a root site collection in all your web apps
Just out of curiosity, what is the http request look like for the 404 error?

Every time I try to back up my Macbook Pro with an external hard drive using Time Machine, I receive the error of "the disk does not have enough space". I have a 500GB hard drive and only 120GB Macbook. It worked fine before the latest Maverick's

Every time I try to back up my Macbook Pro with an external hard drive using Time Machine, I receive the error of "the disk does not have enough space". I have a 500GB external hard drive and only 120GB Macbook. It worked fine before the latest Maverick's update. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

My guess would be it has created an entirely new backup of your drive when you upgraded to Mavericks.

My phone's speakers only work sometimes. Sometimes it is better when I plug in my headphones, but not all of the time. Any idea's?

My phone's speakers only work sometimes. It started recently, and I just moved to Hawaii so I am at the beach alot. Could sand have something to do with this? Sometimes it is better when I plug in my headphones, but not all of the time. Any idea's?

Absolutely!
If you are taking your $500 electronic device to the beach, I recommend you get a case that completely seals the iPhone from the elements (ie. waterproof).

Does it harm the battery to leave the MacBook pluged in all of the time?

Does it harm the battery to leave the MacBook pluged in all of the time?

It is OK to leave your battery hooked to the charger most of the time. The only time I unhook mine from the charger is when I calibrate. You should calibrate your battery once a month. This keeps your battery healthy for when you need to use your MacBook portable.

I have just had a replacement IPad as the camera stopped working. Now the new iPad won't recognise my aol e mail for face time as well as my apple id. I have tried adding as a second e mail, but it says already in use

I have just had a replacement iPad as the camera stopped working.
Now the new iPad won't receive FaceTime calls at my aol.com email.
If I try to add it as a FaceTime address it just says email address already in use.
I guess it is still linked to the old iPad in some way
Any suggestions? The old I pad is wiped and back in the store

This Apple article should be able to help ya out -> iOS: FaceTime is 'Unable to verify email because it is in use'

Why does my Safari Auto-Fill only work part of the time?

First of all, why isn't there a link on the Apple website to provide Feedback? Secondly, I'd love to know why my Safari Auto-Fill only works some of the time, like when entering Sweepstakes information. I realize some websites don't allow Auto-Fill, but on the ones that do, I can't get the second window to open up when I click "Auto-Fill".

Safari 6.1.1 and yes all web forms are checked under Preferences Auto-Fill. I am daily entering sweepstakes for the HGTV dream home, and even though the initial bubble shows up "Auto-Fill your contact information" shows up, when I click on it, the second bubble that lets you confirm the info doesn't always open. I tried it just now in a separate tab, and it opened; then I came back here to write some of the message. Then I went back to try again and it won't open. It drives me crazy. I keep trying with each new data field and sometimes the second bubble will open further down the page.

Flash CS5 / CS5.5 crashes when importing images, and all of the time

Hi.
I started working on an animation file in Flash recently. It was ok at first, but now it crashes all of the time. It crashes almost 100% of the time when I try to import a sequence of jpegs, but it also seems to crash for no reason at all - when I click on a frame in the timeline, or when I move forward/back through frames on the timeline.
This happened when I was using CS5, so I installed my upgrade copy of 5.5, and that didn't help. I upgraded my computer from 32bit XP to 64bit Window7. I'm now running a fresh install of CS5.5 on a fresh install of Windows 7. It still crashes exactly the same.
I got an error log when I installed the programs. I don't know if it is related. It looks like this:

Hi Tobymare,
5.1.1 is the highest iOS that an iPad 1 can run. If the iPad is crashing, try a reset (nothing will be lost): Hold down the Home and Power buttons at the same time and continue to hold them down until the Apple appears (up to 30 seconds). Once the Home screen redisplays, see if the crashing issue is resolved.
Cheers,
GB

One headphone does not work or works 50% of the time. What is best way to resolve?

one headphone does not work or works 50% of the time. What is best way to resolve?

First of all, I'd recomend resetting the iPod. Do this by pressing the 'Menu' and 'Center" buttons for 10 seconds or until the Apple logo appears.
If this doesn't work, then it sounds like a hardware fault.
To identify the issue, if you have one, try plugging the iPod into a speaker through the dock. If this works, then the issue is with the headphone jack. If not then the logic board is dead. If the iPod is less than a year old, then it can be repaired by Apple for free. Just book an appointment for the Genius bar.
If not then, you could see about sending it to an iPod Repair Company, such as my own. A replacement headphone jack would cost £30.00 in the UK, including next day delivery. Other companies you could try would beUKiPodRepairs, but we guarantee to beat any quote that you get.
Hope that this helps,

Hello, how can i fix my home button, it activates itself all of the time.

my iphone has a mind of its own! the home button activates its self all of the time. if i am using a app it will go back to the menu, if locked it will open voice command. i have tried reseting, updating it and all of that. its not at all damaged and it started doing it all of a sudden and hasnt stoped for a week now. p.s I would rather not send it back to apple because their service is awful and very slow, i have already changed it 4 times for various reasons and would rather avoid doing it again. thanks alot if anyone can help, im getting desperate :s

You can try the steps recommended in the User Guide. If they don't work bring your phone into Apple for evaluation.

EventListener working 95% of the time in IE but only 2% in Firefox?

I have no clue how to even begin to debug this. The problem
is much more common in Firefox than in IE, but it does happen in
both.
The critical problem is that my EventListener function
startChatClickHandler is not triggered 98% of the time in Firefox
and about 5% of the time in IE. Even the Alert box doesn't trigger.
I can click on it all day in Firefox and it just sits there though
once ever while it works but never more than once. But if I right
click on it, then select Rewind, it will work 100% - at least till
I try it again. That must be a clue but I have no idea what it
means. Also, it used to work just fine but one of my changes must
have had a unintented effect but I can't seem to fix it. Also, I've
had the same results on more than one PC.
Another possible clue is that if I hit the enter key instead,
that works 100% of the time in both Firefox and IE, even though all
it does is pass it on to the EventListener function
startChatClickHandler. It's like it's just not "hearing" the mouse
clicks most of the time.
The instance of the button is called startChatButton and
userNameInput is a instance of a TextInput. The code for this
section is below.
I've struggled with this for 12 hours straight and I am at my
wits end. Anyone who can help with this will have my undying
gratitude.
import mx.controls.Alert;
var mainpicpath:String;
var loadit_lv:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
var userdata_so:SharedObject =
SharedObject.getLocal("user_data");
var tempName:String;
//var buttonlistenerObject:Object = new Object();
profileText.text = "Still loading...";
userNameInput.text = chatName;
tempName = userdata_so.data.chatname;
if (tempName.length > 0)
userNameInput.text = tempName;
profileText.text = "Profile text failed to load.";
function startChatClickHandler (evt:Object):Void // <-----
HERES THE PART THAT ONLY SOMETIMES GETS TRIGGERED, MUCH WORST IN
FIREFOX
Alert.show("function click triggered","Info");
_global.userName = userNameInput.text;
if (_global.userName.length > 0)
userdata_so.data.chatname = userNameInput.text;
userdata_so.flush();
else
_global.userName = "Guest";
nc.connect("rtmp://my flash media server);
startChatButton.addEventListener("click",
startChatClickHandler);
function enter(ev)
Alert.show("function enter triggered","Info");
startChatClickHandler(ev);
userNameInput.addEventListener("enter", this); //<----
THIS ALWAYS WORKS
function onConnect(ev)
//Alert.show("You are connected to: " + nc.uri,
"Information");
gotoAndPlay("Main");
mainpicpath = "
http://www.mywebsite.com/site_images/profiles/mainpic-"
+ channel + ".jpg";
loadMovie(mainpicpath, "loginpic");
loadit_lv.onData = function(src:String)
if (src != undefined)
profileText.text = src;
else
profileText.text = "Error loading profile text.";
loadit_lv.load("
http://www.mywebsite.com/profiletext/"
+ channel + ".txt");
And this is how the flash movie is called from Perl:
print qq{<object
classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="
http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=8,0,0,0"
width="720" height="500" id="customer_v16b" align="middle">};
print qq{<param name="allowScriptAccess"
value="sameDomain" />};
print qq{<param name="movie" value="
http://www.mywebsite.com/flash/customer_v16b.swf?dummyVar=$dummy"
/>};
print qq{<param name="FlashVars"
value="channel=$host_page&hostName=$profile_info{'
name'}&chatName=$chat_name">};
print qq{<param name="quality" value="high" />};
print qq{<param name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF" />};
print qq{<embed src="
http://www.mywebsite.com/flash/customer_v16b.swf?dummyVar=$dummy"
FlashVars="channel=$host_page&hostName=$profile_in
fo{'name'}&chatName=$chat_name" quality="high"
bgcolor="#FFFFFF" width="720" height="500" name="customer_v16b"
align="middle" allowScriptAccess="sameDomain"
type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="
http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"
/>};
print qq{</object>};

I stripped almost all the code out and verified I could click
on the button and that it was working correctly.
Then I started adding things back in till it broke again.
Heres as much of the original code that I could put back
without breaking it:
import mx.controls.Alert;
var mainpicpath:String;
var loadit_lv:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
var userdata_so:SharedObject =
SharedObject.getLocal("user_data");
var tempName:String;
//var buttonlistenerObject:Object = new Object();
profileText.text = "Still loading...";
userNameInput.text = chatName;
tempName = userdata_so.data.chatname;
if (tempName.length > 0)
userNameInput.text = tempName;
profileText.text = "Profile text failed to load.";
function startChatClickHandler (evt:Object):Void
Alert.show("function click triggered","Info");
_global.userName = userNameInput.text;
if (_global.userName.length > 0)
userdata_so.data.chatname = userNameInput.text;
userdata_so.flush();
else
_global.userName = "Guest";
//nc.connect('rtmp:/GPL_chat_alpha/chat',
_global.userName,"customer",hostName);
nc.connect("rtmp://myflashmediaserver",
_global.userName,"customer",hostName,channel);
startChatButton.addEventListener("click",
startChatClickHandler);
function onConnect(ev)
//Alert.show("You are connected to: " + nc.uri,
"Information");
gotoAndPlay("Main");
The following sections of code will break it (in that
clicking on the button no longer does anything), either together or
one at a time:
function enter(ev)
Alert.show("function enter triggered","Info");
startChatClickHandler(ev);
userNameInput.addEventListener("enter", this);
mainpicpath = "
http://www.girlsplaylive.com/site_images/profiles/mainpic-"
+ channel + ".jpg";
loadMovie(mainpicpath, "loginpic");
loadit_lv.onData = function(src:String)
if (src != undefined)
profileText.text = src;
else
profileText.text = "Error loading profile text.";
loadit_lv.load("
http://www.girlsplaylive.com/profiletext/"
+ channel + ".txt");
So the question is why does this happen and whats the best
way to fix it?

After update flash player doesn't work most of the time

Hi Folks!
Windows XP
IE 6
About 2 weeks ago I installed a flash player security update and ever since then flash player doesn't work most of the time. On most websites with embeded video all I see is an empty placeholder where the video is supposed to be.
If I go to a site like Youtube all is fine. However, if I go to a site that has embeded a Youtube video all I see is the empty placeholder where the video is supposed to be.
Some folks have recommended I uninstall and download and reinstall. The problem with this is that there isn't *anything* related to Abobe flash player in Add/Remove programs.
Not sure what to do about this (read: I'm totally lost!).
Here's a screencap of the empty placeholder:
http://i27.tinypic.com/2wrdttf.jpg

The standard warranty is for 12 months from the date of purchase, unless you bough AppleCare which would have extended it to 2 years.
If it's out of warranty, then you pay for repairs, and it's expensive. There are 3rd party repairers who are cheaper.
Did you try these?
The Five Rs.
As the previous poster said, it's more than likely a hardware issue, but there's no harm in trying the software fixes before you decide it needs repair.
