Hi,
This could be driver issue. Please contact the manufacturer to ask for the latest driver for your Webcam in Windows 8.1, and reinstall it to check the results. If there is not, we need wait for the updates from manufacturer.
Meanwhile, to use webcam, we need to get it properly set.

mpeg4s I create and upload to Internet play fine on Mac and PCs, but not on iPad or iPhone. Does anyone know how to get them to play on iPads/iPhones?
You have to make sure they are fully compatible with iPad

Home sharing not working between mac and pc, but it is fine between mac and mac. Help!!!
Good Evening Dear Gurus,
Hi, I am writing this to ask for help regarding home sharing. Yes I do know they are several threads out there that already explains or rather given solution on how to tackle this problem. BUT the my problem is rather different. I am no computer expert myself, so here is the problem, apparently MY MAC can home share with another MAC, but both of this MAC cannot home share with the PC.
Does anyone encounter this kind of problem before? Can anyone help a poor guy out? Thanks in advance. love to hear from the community soon!
Thanks!Sharing Stopped working again over night.
I went to Apple Support Artical TS2972
As soon as I did this Home Sharing started working
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2972
Firewall Section
5. Check Firewall Settings
If you have a firewall enabled in your router or computer, make sure that the firewall is not blocking communication between your computers. Home Sharing uses TCP port 3689 and UDP port 5353 to communicate with shared iTunes libraries.
In addition, Apple TV and Mac computers will use port 123 to set the time automatically. Incorrect date and time on either the computer or Apple TV can cause errors for Home Sharing and connections in general.
If you are unsure whether your router has a firewall or the required ports open, test additional devices or another network to help isolate the issue. If the devices tested work on another home network, it is your router or network configuration.
For Mac OS X, you don't have to edit the port addresses, but make sure the firewall in Apple () menu > System Preferences > Security > Firewall are not set to:
Block all incoming connections
Allow only essential services
If you use another security/firewall software on your computer or router, follow this article or contact the manufacturer or check the documentation on how to open TCP ports 123 and 3689 as well as UDP ports 123 and 5353.
It made sense to me, but its still puzzling me after restarting a router would (in my first attempt) resolve the issue for a day. This this time I applied the port forwarding TCP and UDP ports and saved the settings in the DLink DIR-655 and both my iPad2 and iPhone 3GS were now again finding the share. My ATV2 is also now accepting the Share.
Tommorrow will be the true test. -
Tried tools and download first with same results. Went to Icloud.com and also failed. Anyone?
a colleague of mine suffers from the same problem. did a quick look on the apple support pages. found many topics covering the same problem.
also saw 1 marked as correct answer... (just browse the discussion pages before you ask, this answer appearantly was sitting there from oct. 14...)
(i'm not on windows, so i can't test...)
good luck!

Hi Rick,
by "repair" I mean I went to the control panel, option - programs and features, and in the list of all my installed programs I selected "Apple Software Update". On top of the screen you find the options Uinstall, Change and Repair. I clicked the repair button and that did the trick. After the repair I could uninstall the program. I also uninstalled iTunes, Apple Application Support, Apple Mobile Device Support en Bonjour, thus all Apple programs. Then I installed iTunes 10.5 again and everything went fine.
Success,

Tons of packet loss and Verizon techs say its fine
As you can see from the below test ran from dslreports.com, I'm having a lot of packet loss issues. This has been going on for nearly two weeks now and tech support has been more of an annoyance than a help upto this point. I've talked to tech support at least 5 times only to be told my line test comes back fine, its normal, reset your modem, delete your cookies, is your pc old, etc. I've even had them vpn itno my system and run pings and they see the packet loss and all the issues I'm having first hand and still say it isn't a big deal. On more than one occasion I've had my modem data light just flashing and had to reset the modem and they suggest I just buy a new modem. Seriously, is this how bad tech support has gotten?
I've shown them test after test after test and the all come back pretty much the same... The thing is its been perfect for years and suddenly this and its like tech support wants to sweep it under the rug or something. I've had it suggested to me the packet loss and high pings when I'm not getting the packet loss is due to my pool being over populated. Like I'm ow getting ping averages of 250-300 instead of 30-40s, again when its not all timing out.
I've posted over on the dslreports forums asking about this as well as in the Verizon specific forums to the techs all with 0 replies from anything and was told to come here and see if anyone would be able to help.
I really not bother with the hassle of switching isps as ive been a loyal Verizon dsl customer for well over 5 years but at this point just knowing how bad tech support is alone might make me want to.
Can anyone offer any insight on what else to do or help on this possibly?
Thanks.

Issues with Win 7 & CS2. Illustrator and Photoshop have "Stopped Working"
Hi, New to this so I apologize in advance. Bought a new computer in December '09. 6gig quad processor and plenty of 500gigs of disc space. NOt a Memory Issue! Installed CS2 ( 'cause the computer took all of my money!) and all worked fine until 4 days ago. I mainly use illustrator and photoshop. When I tried to save a document... The programs simply "Stopped Working" I'm a rookie with the tech stuff so please speak slowly and simply.... I would appreciate any help as I'm losing money and work right now! Thanks
CS2 is totally unsupported under Win 7. And if you have 6 gigs of RAM I'll guess that it's a 64 bit system which simply adds to the complexity.
Sorry, but the best advice you'll get is to upgrade.

I just want to ask if there is any way i can fix my ipod touch 4G from watar damage and i dont think that a larg amount of water have entered and the ipod isnt working at all and i tried charging it but it didnt work so please help me, and thankyou.
Probably dead if you have tried to charge it.
You should never try to charge or turn on a wet electronic device.
You should let it dry for a week or so, then try. -
I dont recall when I have been more frustrated.... the "loops" I am in on the web for support are endless. After downloading Yosemite on my Mac my CS6 no longer works. On your support web site you state the following for downloading and installing previous versions of apps, such as CS6 " 1. open CC for desktop and go to the apps panel (no link is provided so I explored until I could download a trial version of "application manager" as that was required. When I attempted to open it to download "Previous Versions" I could not. I have my license number, my CS6 will not open in Yosemite and after over 2 hours I am really frustrated.... Rich@
When I go to that link, download and then attempt to install I get the message "Webe encountered the following issues, Installer failed to initialize. Please down load Adobe Support Advisor to detect the problem" I then select the link "get adobe support advisor" that takes me to a site that describes a better support link since the one I have been sent to is no longer available. I then go to that site and am told to go to CC for desktop apps, that requires me to download CC... I don't want CC.. just want to have my CS6 PS work again.... so frustrating...

Microphone and speaker no longer working after update to 4.3.3
2 hours ago i have updated my iPhone 4 to iOS 4.3.3
It is a standard, never jailbreaked or whatever, iPhone 4, which was running 4.3.2
After the update suddenly i heard no sounds when pressing any buttons.
I checked the settings, but everything was still the same.
I then tried to call a friend, but when the connection was made i neither heard him nor did he hear me.
After that i tried :
1) changing the ringtone, to see if any sound would come fromt he speakers : nothing
2) running the dictafoon, but when pressing record i get : no micophone available. Connect a microphone to record memo's
3) connecting a headset to see if that would work : nothing
4) connecting a bluetooth headset : nothing
5) restoring files and trying all again : nothing
6) restoring all and trying again : nothing
7) starting iPhone in recovery mode, resetting all (like it was a new iPhone) and trying again : nothing
Anyone got any bright ideas left ?If you have restored in iTunes on a computer and the problem remains then it's a hardware fault and it needs to be repaired. When you update the iOS version on an iOS device it checks the hardware components, this is when it'll detect un-diagnosed hardware faults and the components will stop working... even if they were working previously

HP Officejet 6500 E709 - works fine. WIN 7 Pro drivers and registry severely messed up.
I was having problem printing (cant recall the exact error at this point) and every attempt to fix got me in more trouble. I ended up trying to uninstall and reinstall the drivers and then the device, but clearly failed to do it properly as now everything to do with the printer gives me an hourglass and need to reboot to end the process.
I know its the PC because I have another WIN 7 on the home network which works just fine.
Even clicking Devices and Printers in Control panel ends in hourglass as described above.
So I ran HP Print and Scan Doctor. It too ends (quickly) with the hourglass. I suspect that to some one who lnows what they are doing the log file will tell the story, so here it is:

I read your post about the issues you are having with your printer on your one Windows 7 system. I have a few suggestions for you to try if you would like. If they do not help, I would then suggest Microsoft Support for better exposure on the issue you're having.
1. Uninstall the printer by running the Microsoft Fix It tool
2. Restart the PC
3. Perform a Clean Boot

Win 8.1 Start button and Charms randomly stops working BUG (workaround)
To anyone experiencing this, it is a bug in Win 8.1 which I can replicate at will.
Reinstalling your system as suggested by MS engineers will not fix this.
To force the bug to appear:
1. Grab a desktop Icon (recycle bin, any shortcut) and move this up to the top left hand corner without letting go of the mouse button. Drop shortcut anywhere on desktop. Without an Icon the mouse pointer would initiate the recent apps.
2. To check that the first step has worked, try and invoke charms by moving mouse to top right hand corner. If Charms do not appear then the bug has been triggered.
3. Now move mouse over start button (no click), move away then back again. Now the start button is locked. If you unlock the taskbar you can move it to any other position (top, left or right) and the start button works. Move taskbar back to the
bottom and the start button still does not work. Only way to get it working again is to restart window explorer in task manager.
To avoid this happening all you need to do is disable recent apps corner.
1. Right click desktop.
2. Click Taskbar and Navigation
3. Click Navigation tab in the properties window
4. Uncheck "When I click the upper-left corner, switch between my recent tabs."
Now the bug cannot be triggered as above to make the start button stop working. You have to remove this feature which is pretty hopeless on a desktop anyway. Its better than restarting Window explorer every time.
I can replicate this on any desktop or laptop, fresh install or old. Not sure about any touch screen machines. I can also trigger this in VMPlayer\Virtual Box and the Modern IE VM images that MS provide.
Now the MS engineers can replicate this on their machines, and maybe if we are lucky they will FIX it!!!!
MS please acknowledge that this is a bug.
Maybe the issue is due to the windows button not being redrawn on the screen once triggered as it still works when taskbar is moved (graphic card drivers). Could not find anything use full in the system logs.
Just noticed also that the charms also breaks if you drag an Icon up to the right hand corner. Once triggered Charms stops working, start button is not affected with the above work around configured.
MS please read this and reply.suspect it is local to your environment.
Others seeing the same symptom. Note that originally I was not using the
Top left hover for thumbnail feature and then also claimed not to see it.
Oh. And here is another factor that someone else is using as a workaround. A link to the first thread I was thinking of can be found in this one

Lets make Firefox Synch a function that if one 'logs onto' his or her account, then the browser will 'plugin' the users data (ie History, PW, etc). Once the user finishes his day (work or at home) he or she logs out and nothing remains in the local pc regarding favorites or anything. Instead of synching the data to every pc just keep the data on the cloud or web. That way the data travels where ever one is without the need to synch it and thus having it on the local pc. Maybe it already does this, but I dont see it explained anywhere. My 2 cents.
When my pc and tablet were together I synched the bookmarks and everything was fine but I had to send my pc to repair and upon receiving it back I used the same sync account and although my phone and pc sync history the bookmarks and preferences on my tablet will not show up on my phone or pc. I have reset firefox and uninstalled and reinstalled, and I have changed recovery key, but the only thing that seems to show up as sincing with my pc is my pphone with no bookmarks passwords or preferences.
