MS VX1000 webcam works but is ignored, but mic wor...

OK peeps, my XP desktop has a MS VX1000 webcam connected to it via USB. The camera is connected and working. Skype is set to use the webcams mike as the default and it is regisyetered and shows up in the settings, and registers sounds etc, yet when I try to Vid call or update my profile pic the camera isnt detected.
So far ive restarted skype 5 times, and plugged the camera into 4 different usb ports on both my hub and the PC directly. Each time nothing changes the mic works but the camera isnt recognised. All drivers are installed, have been uninstalled and reinstalled. No errors showing in device mgr. Think this prob has only recently appeared, oddly skype updated this morning on boot up.
next step is t uninstall skype.
I suppose we should be gratefuls MS's kiss of death has taken as long as it has to appear.....
any ideas?

Try to uninstall the currently installed version and install the older 6.1.0.129 version using this msi-installer:
http://download.skype.com/msi/SkypeSetup_6.1.0.129.msi
After installing this version, make sure to disable the Automatic updates:
Tools -> Options -> Advanced -> Automatic updates ->Turn off automatic updates

My audio is not working but mic is fine

Dear all,
Skype is not picking up my voice when ever i speak but it works outside of skype. In skype's audio options the green audio bar drops when ever i speak, how do i fix this?

HI Adrianwatson:
Welcome to the forum! Thank you for your post. I would very much like to assist you!
I see you are having an issue with your headset and are getting code 28. This usually refers to a driver issue. Have you done all the Windows updates? When you connect the headset, if you open Device Manager you should be able to update the driver from there. You could also run the "HP Support Assistant" click here or the Windows troubleshooter to aid in updating drivers. "MS Fix it" click here ( Windows 7, Vista and XP) or built in troubleshooter in Windows 8 (Windows key +c, to open charms, then type troubleshoot in the search bar). Here is a link to "Downloading or Updating Software and Drivers for HP Computers" click here. If this has not resolved your issue, would you provide your exact model of computer and the operating system you are running, along with the results from the troubleshooting. "How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number?" click here.

Video Works but Mic Does Not

I have a Creative Livecam Socialize HD(VF0616) installed in my PC. My OS is Win7 Ultimate 64 Bit. The camera was working before but I have not used it lately. I upgraded my Skype but when I tested it with the camera, the mic did not work. The camera video and the speaker seemed OK but the microphone did not work. Any simple way to test the mic feature of the camera?

In Skype go to Tools -> Options -> Audio settings. What device do you see there selected as your Microphone? Is there more than one option available in the selection box? Can you see any respponse on the Volume bar when you make any sound?

Windows 8.1 64bit. Webcam works with "Camera" app but not with Skype.

I've spent a few hours googling and trying out various things - all listed below. I give up - any ideas??? OS: Windows 8.1 64bitMemory: 32GBWebCam: Microsoft VX-7000. As per subject - the webcam works with the "Camera" app but not with Skype for desktop or for Modern UI (or the Microsoft Lifecam software for that matter). Already attempted: 1) Uninstall webcam drivers - download latest from microsoft (Windows 7) and install in Windows 7 compatibility mode.2) Close (from taskmgr) anything that looks like it might use Webcam. 3) Run Skype for Desktop in Windows 7 and 8 compatibility modes None of the above work. In Skype for Modern UI the webcam doesn't appear in the drop down in Settings - so I can't even select it. In Skype for desktops (version 6.11.32.102) the webcam is found but instead of image I get "Can't start video. Try closing other programs that might be using your webcam". I see from a bit of googling that various people seem to have the same issue (i.e. Webcam works with Camera app but not Skype) - so I'm hopeful someone has found a workaround / fix to this issue and I've just not had the googling skills to find it Thanks, - Matt Symes

OK - I appear to have resolved the issue. I restricted my google terms to [vx-7000 site:microsoft.com "windows 8.1"] Which uncovered this article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/933311 I noticed there were a couple of Windows 7 x64 specific registry settings that were mentioned so I checked these and they weren't as per the article. In fact - one of the Registry Keys was already used by other software "AI Charger+" which is some ValueAdd software that came with my motherboard. I uninstalled AI Charger+, uninstalled LifeCam driver. Reinstalled LifeCam driver in Windows 7 compatibility mode. Still not working. I returned to the registry and noticed the settings still differed from the above article. I corrected them (which involved not just amending Data but having to add new Values). I then disabled and reenabled the LifeCam from dvcmgmt.msc I was then able to get video from the webcam in the Skype for Desktop preview screen.

Logitech webcam works in everything but ffmpeg

It's a Logitech QuickCam Express
$ lsusb
Bus 005 Device 002: ID 046d:0870 Logitech, Inc. QuickCam Express
and it works fine in cheese and vlc, but with ffmpeg, I get:
$ ffmpeg -f video4linux2 -i /dev/video1 test.avi
[video4linux2 @ 0x96513a0] Cannot find a proper format for codec_id 0, pix_fmt -1.
/dev/video1: Input/output error
I've tried pretty much every permutation of ffmpeg options that I can think of, to no avail.
Clearly the webcam works, as I can see it in vlc/cheese just fine...any idea how I can get ffmpeg to play nice with it?
OR:
Is there a good command-line alternative to ffmpeg which can record both video and audio? Surprisingly, I haven't really found a CLI program that can simply capture from webcam+microphone and save to a file.
Thanks! And let me know if you need any more info/diagnostic output, etc.

Having similar issue; webcam is recognized and functions under "Options" but have no "Video Call" button to make a video call. Skype only displays txt and voice call buttons. Contacts are online and have video. Contacts see me as online and with video, and can even "Video Call" me but cannot see me; I see and hear them fine, but they cannot see me.
Problem experienced on an HP Compaq Pasario running Ubuntu 10.04.1, 12.04.1, and finally Mint 14.1 (both cinnamon and mate) with all software packages updated and current. Spent the entire day yesterday going through fresh installs and setup trying each separately with the same result every time; webcam is recognized and functions under "Options" but have no "Video Call" button to make a video call.
Camera being used is a Logitech c270h which works great with Skype on two other PCs (Dell Laptop, Dell Tower) one running Ubuntu 10.04.1 and 12.04.1 (both LTS).
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

Dvd/cd drive works but won't allow me to install new programs from disk, doesn't recognize the disk,

dvd/cd drive works but won't allow me to install new programs from disk, doesn't recognize the disk, what can I do?

Well I was able to obtain a work around download of Flash and it installed fine but Firefox tells me it needs updating so I go out, thinking I'm "IN" finally to update it and I get that issue of not being able to get the update for it. It's a regular laptop, not a touch screen or one of those new fangled ones for todays world. In fact it's a refurb so it's probably origin date was a year or so ago before all this MS stuff took off fully. So not understanding why I'm feeling like I'm being BLOCKED from getting the updated Flash I need and desire. If I click on the little "X" and tell it to ignore the warning the vid will play just fine but don't want to have to do that every time. Must be a better way.
Again, I'm sorry for posting in the wrong forum, getting this posted in the Flash forum was my desire but the way Adobe has this set up I just couldn't figure it out. I belong to ALLOT of forums and most are pretty straight forward but this one is confusing!

HT4993 My volume down button is not working. The UP button works, but not the down button. I have tried to restart it and that didn't solve the problem.

My volume down button doesn't work on my iPhone. The UP buttown works, but not the down button. I have tried a hard reset and that didn't fix it.

Try this.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

Thank you very much for your help. Now, I was able to install the update (Adobe Photoshop 12.0.4 update for Adobe Photoshop CS5, Mac). But I couldn’t mark the answer as correct. I didn’t find the „correct“ button.
Kind regards

OK, here's the Windows version of the update:
Adobe - Photoshop : For Windows : Adobe Photoshop 12.0.4 update for Adobe Photoshop CS5
and for Mac:
Adobe - Photoshop : For Macintosh : Adobe Photoshop 12.0.4 update for Adobe Photoshop CS5
Of course, ignore the idiotic recommendation that appears there to try to use Help > Updates. We already know that doesn't work.

My camera on snapchat works but only the front.. and my actual camera doesnt?

my camera on snapchat works but only the front.. and my actual camera doesnt?

Have you tried closing the Camera app via the multitasking bar and seeing if it works properley when you re-open it ? Double-click the home button to open the taskbar, and then swipe or drag the Camera app's screen from there up and off the top of the screen to close it, and click the home button to close the taskbar.
If that doesn't fix it then you could try a soft-reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

While using Illustrator or Photoshop I seem to be hitting a shortcut to lock my key board. Other shortcuts work but can not type anything?

You are planning to do a number of things, so let me first make a suggestion about the overall approach. Instead of: "Before I make a clone of my hard drive I would like to fix this problem so I only have one account with everything in it but I do not know what to move ... or how to safely move it", I would make that clone immediately. And leave it alone until you have completed the reconfiguring and rearrangements you plan to do. This way, if you accidentally do something that needs to be undone, your clone is there with all the originals. By the way, this is the approach I always adopt, whenever I have to do anything drastic with an existing installation.
After all the rearranging etc. of the main drive you just make a new clone that erases the previous one.
The "Deano" account doesn't show up when I go to System Preferences:Accounts. So I assume I must have done something wrong.
This would suggest to me there is only one account, i.e. the principal, or Admin account. Why do you think there is a second account?
Where should I keep all my work files?
You can keep them where ever it is most convenient. As you know, you can create folders within folders, and there is nothing special about the Documents folder. Feel free to ignore it, if that's the way you want to work. You can direct your downloads, the default "save to" locations etc. to the appropriate places, as you work.
Can I create a new place for all my work files and just move them? I know I will have to update linked files within the various software packages but this is not a problem.
By all means.
.. can it be directly on the HD like my Applications folder etc.?
Indeed, yes. Or even on a different hard drive (or partition of the same drive).
And best wishes for the new year, to you too.

My password seems to be working but my apps on my i pad will not update? what am i doing wrong?

i hove not been able to update apps on my ipad for weeks my password seems to work but it will not update apps? what am i doing wrong?

What happens when you try to update? That is the missing element here? Without knowing what you are experiencing, it's really difficult to suggest what to do. I will go on the assumption that you are seeing the "waiting" icons. If that's the case, this is my standard response that includes quite a number of things to try.
Even if it is not the "waiting" icons issue, one of these suggestions might help anyway.
1. Tap the "waiting" icon and see if you can pause it. If it does pause, then tap it again and see if it will resume. If that works, repeat the same steps for each "waiting" icon.
2. Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
3. Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes - if you have a download in there that did not finish, complete that one first.
4. If that doesn't work - sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
Settings>iTunes & App Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Go back to Settings>iTunes & App Store>Sign in and then try to update again. Tap one waiting icon only if necessary to start the download stream.
5. You can also try deleting the waiting icons - tap and hold down on an icon until it wiggles - the tap the X on the icon to delete it. Then try to download again. Apps may also be able to be deleted in Settings>General>Usage>Storage if you cannot get the X to pop up on the icon.
6. You can try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered.
7. If all else fails, download the updates or the apps in iTunes on your computer and then sync the content to your iPad.

Did you try rebooting the iPad? You will need to have some battery power for this.

I am unable to open my Photoshop program after installing the entire Creative Suite: Premium Production 6. All other programs work, but with Photoshop it says that the program is "locked or in use by another user". I need this fixed immediately.

I am unable to open my Photoshop program after installing the entire Creative Suite: Premium Production 6. All other programs work, but with Photoshop it says that it "Could not open a scratch file because the file is locked, you do not have necessary access permissions, or another program is using the file. Use the 'Properties' command in the Windows Explorer to unlock the file." Then I select "OK" and the next message comes up "Could not initialize Photoshop because the file is locked, you do not have the necessary permissions, or another program is using the file. Use the 'Properties' command in the Windows Explorer to unlock this file. I installed all of the programs on the same day from a CD. I need this fixed immediately.
I am not interested in switching to Creative Cloud, so don't even suggest it. I spoke to Mashmi (or something to that effect) on the "Support" Chat and there was absolutely no support. Useless actually.
Thanks in advance.
