My A1237 is not recognizing it has a camera.

When I go to facetime, skype or any program or application requiring the camera, it simply says there is no camera.

Important: Follow these instructions in order. Test the camera between steps to see if the issue is resolved.
Built-in iSight cameras
These steps are for iSight cameras that are built into a computer, such as the iMac G5 (iSight) or later, the MacBook, or MacBook Pro.
See if the issue is application-specific.
Try another application (iSight works with applications like iChat, PhotoBooth, and iMovie HD 6) to see if the iSight camera exhibits the same behavior in all applications. If it only happens in one application, try reinstalling that application.
See if the issue is user-specific.
Test your iSight camera in another user account. If the issue only occurs in one user, the issue would be isolated to user settings.
Find out if the computer recognizes the iSight
Check System Profiler (in the Utilities folder, inside the Applications folder). Under the USB header, check to see if the iSight camera is detected.
Reset SMC or PMU
Reset your computer's SMC or PMU, and then check System Profiler again. (SMC reset instructions for  Intel-based iMacs; PMU reset instructions for MacBook and MacBook Pro.)

  • IPod not recognized. says"USB device not recognized and has malfunctioned

    I just bought an iPod nano from one of my friends and i got the usb cord off of ebay. when i connect my ipod to my computer. it says usb device not recognized. i've installed software and everything. i've downloaded iTunes and all the ipod software i can find including the updater and other downloads from apple. PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    After switching to a Nano, my Dell pocket DJ is having the same problem you are describing. I can't tell what the fix is but I plan on purchasing a new USB as I suspect that may be the problem.

  • IPod Not Recognized Except as Digital Camera

    OS: Windows Vista Home Premium, running Service Pack 1
    System: Dell Inspiron 537s (brand new) 64-bit
    iPod: iTouch, version 2.2
    When I plug my iTouch into our BRAND new computer, it only is recognized as a digital camera. It does not show up in iTunes. It doesn't show up in my Hardware list.
    In Device Manager, it appears under "Portable Devices" but not under the expected "Universal Serial Bus controllers". I can't eject it from my computer properly because it does not appear on my Hardware list when plugged in.
    My Troubleshooting Attempts:
    1. I have restarted the ipod Touch
    2. I have tried different USB ports
    3. I have tried restarting my computer
    4. I have tried reinstalling iTunes
    5. The iPod is fully charged
    6. Both an iPod nano and an iPod classic were successfully recognized by both my computer and iTunes, but not the iPod touch.
    7. On our previous Windows XP computer the iPod touch worked fine. It is only having issues on this new computer. (I am no longer able to use the XP PC.) This iPod touch has been working fine until now, so I assume the issue is with the computer and not the iPod.
    8. The iTunes version installed as of an hour ago is version 8.2
    9. Apple Mobile Device service is working properly
    10. The Touch does not change screens when plugged into the computer, but it does recognize that it is plugged into a power source (visible on the battery indicator).
    11. I have tried updating the driver which seems to work for many people, but am unable to do so. I think that is where the problem lies, though...
    When I look at the properties of the iPod in Device Manager, I get this information:
    Driver Provider: Microsoft
    Driver Date: 6/21/2006
    Driver Version: 6.0.6001.18000
    Digital Signer: microsoft windows
    Driver Files:
    C:\\Windows\system32\DRIVERS\UMDF\WpdMtpDr.dll
    C:\\Windows\system32\DRIVERS\WpdUsb.sys
    C:\\Windows\system32\DRIVERS\WYDFRd.sys
    C:\\Windows\system32\WpdConns.dll
    C:\\Windows\system32\WpdMtp.dll
    C:\\Windows\system32\WpdMtpUS.dll
    I believe that my iTouch is using the incorrect drivers; from what I've read in some help forums it should be using the "usbaapl" drivers. However, I have tried to direct it to the correct drivers using the "Update Driver" option and it has not worked. My process:
    1. Update Driver Software
    2. Browse my computer for driver software (manually)
    3. Search for driver software in this location: C:\Windows\SysWOW64\DRVSTORE\usbaapl_872A2434B7205D4BD84BBE53811BDCE15F347D5B (this is where I have found the usbaapl drivers)
    4. Click "Next"
    5. This message appears:
    The best driver software for your device is already installed.
    Windows has determined the driver software for your device is up to date: "Digital Still Camera"
    So now I am at a loss. Can anyone help me with this problem?

    Unfortunately it didn't seem to work. The Touch appears in Computer under the category heading "Portable Devices" with the image of a digital camera, from there I can browse and find what is labeled as an "Internal Storage" drive. In that are a DCIM folder and a 100APPLE folder. I deleted all pictures from the 100APPLE folder but so far there's been no change. Restarted computer, Touch, iTunes...no luck.
    As to the article, I've been through all the suggested steps. I have the driver USBAAPL.SYS installed, but my computer seems determined to use the WPDMTP driver in its place and I have no clue how to change its mind. There don't appear to be any errors in Event Viewer as Vista believes it is working properly.
    Does anyone know of a way to force Vista to use the proper Apple driver instead of the Windows Portable Devices Media Transfer Protocol? I am pretty sure this is where the problem lies.

  • Windows XP not recognizing the iphone still camera

    I have been using successfully iphone (2G) with itunes and photoshop. For last 1 week when i updated the itunes to 8 and iphone to 2.0.2, windows does not recognize the digital still camera. Hence photoshop and picassa can't detect iphone and i can't sync photos from iphone to photoshop and vice versa.
    It is working perfectly fine on other PCs. I know that there is something wrong with my windows or iphone drives but can't figure out what.
    Itunes is able to detect the iphone and can sync seamlessly. Can anyone help whats going wrong.

    One thing that might help.
    When the iphone is connected to the computer, click on start.
    Then right click on My Computer and choose Manage.
    In the computer management window, click device manager on the left hand side.
    The to right, look to see if there are any items with exclimation marks or red x.
    If one is the iphone or under imaging devices, try reloading the driver or delete is.
    If you delete it, disconnect the iphone and reconnect.
    Hope this helps.

  • Nike receiver not recognized - never has

    have ipod nano ver. 1.3.1 and the Nike accessory does not show up in my menu. never has. It just is not seeing the receiver. I even reset my nano. still no go. I took my ipod to the running shoe store where I bought the accessory and they tried another reciver in the ipos. still not showing up. Any ideas?

    Well this is what I was talking about.
    Before the Nike receiver will be recognized by your computer you have to install the Nike receiver program.. go to http://nikeplus.nike.com/nikeplus/ . On this page there is a SUPPORT button on the bottom right. In the popup menu on that button, there is a link to the DOWNLOADS page. Download the version appropriate for you, either Mac or PC. After you install that the receiver will be recognized as soon as you plug it in. There is a "?" in the bottom corner of the Nike mini app. That is where you set your Nike username and other info.

  • Aperture 3.2.3 Not Recognizing Photos from Approved Camera

    Hi,
    A month ago I took several photos with a Panasonic GX-1 in RAW format, which was just recognized in the new software update as having RAW compatibiltiy with Aperture. Prior to the update, the photos do not appear, and it stated "Unsupported File Format." I updated the software yesterday and the photos taken with the GX-1 still do not appear and the same message, "Unsupported File Format", appears.
    Can someone help me out, as based on my prior posts on this issue, I was told the photos would be fine and would appear in Aperture once its software was updated to recognize RAW files from this camera.
    Thanks much!!

    Thank you so much, Leonie. I thought downloading the new Aperture software verison 3.2.3 would take care of downloading the new RAW update for this camera, but I guess it did not? So I am presuming one always has to download the latest RAW update, in addition to the updated software?
    Thank you again.

    Its upgradable so that if you choose the 64 bit version of Windows you can do so
    and take full advantage of the 4 GB. If your notebook had come pre-installed with
    64 bit OS then it would have likely came with the 4 GB already and cost a bit more.
    The manufacturers should be a little more clear to people who dont understand
    the differences. Your machiine came with 3 GB because they, HP, knew that the 32
    bit version of Windows installed would only use and see that amount.
    You can leave the 4 GB in. It wont hurt a thing. If you decide to switch to the 64
    bit version you will have to start from scratch on the installation. Not recommended
    if your not familiar with the process.

  • ADE not recognizing device although device came with adobe reader installed

    i have a tablet that came with adobe reader installed, and i have authorized my ade on my laptop, i have an adobe ID and have downloaded the books already. the ADE wont read my device and i dont know how else to put the books onto my adobe reader. please help

    This thread is pretty old, are you still having this issue?

  • When I connect.. sometimes it says Device not recognized or malfunctioned!

    Hi. When I connect my ipod to any microsoft device, sometimes my ipod doesnt connect. I cant charge it, or restore it as it behaves like a useless piece of plastic.. I get a yellow bubble 'Device not recognized or has malfunctioned'
    This problem is bizarre! I cannot find anyone who actually has a solution for this problem! Apples standard answer is for me to reinstall my drivers or update itunes or windows. Done it. No solution yet.
    My ipod works fine.... sometimes. Its a completely unpredictable problem. Ive googled this problem and so many ipod classic owners have asked.. solutions ive tried: the 5r's, updating drivers, It managed to connect once, but now it wont. My ipod normally works fine on my PC, XBOX, laptop and Mac.. but sometimes, unpredictably, it wont be recognized by anything apart from the mac. For a month it would not connect at all and I took it in to an Apple store where they told me it works fine. Its not my PC.. its up to date, and theres no reason why it doesnt work on my XBOX because some times it does.. last night it did, today its broken again, I suspect tomorrow it may work. This is SO frustrating!!
    I have alot of experience in PC's and normally I can solve a problem by process of elimination, updating and reinstalling, but in this case.. everything seems fine. My only idea is that maybe its my Sync cable?? Which also makes no sense because it generally connects fine on the mac - and, why would a sync cable be unpredictable.. surely it either works or it doesnt. HELP PLEASE!!
    Nick.
    my email is: [email protected]
    my serial for my 80g classic is 8K819CPKYMV and is under warranty until May 2009, i bought it in August this year.

    there is a good chance that this can be related to bad contact in USB lead.. e.g not enough power from IPOD to PC so that pc cannot recognise it. Where I work I get alot of USB devices on pc's that are not recognised and most of the time it is the connection to the device that is not good enough because the flat end of the USB adapter has been gradually bent over time just slightly and now contact is not good. It can also be todo with drivers or If you are using it through a USB hub.
    so if it is not working through USB hub try direct. also try in back of PC as these Ports or direct access to main board to pc and would be less trouble some if there was a voltage loss from mainboard in pc to front of unit.

  • USB device not recognized by computer for iPod Touch 2G?

    Connected to computer as usual, but this time the computer & iTunes do not recognize it.  A message pops up from computer that USB device is not recognized and has malfunctioned.  Tried turning ipod off & on, then Reset all settings - no change.  iTunes had just updated so it is current. Restarted computer - no change.  Then I did the major reset on the ipod that erases everything - no change.  The ipod is charged and the 'connect cable to itunes' graphic shows on start up, but the computer & itunes do not recognize it.  Also tried using another ipod usb cable - no change.
    We've only had it 2-3 months (bought it used-about 5 months) and it has worked fine, with no problems, until today. The only change that comes to mind is the update to iTunes today.
    My other son has an ipod touch 4g & it connects to the same computer, same cable & itunes without any problem. Now my youngest son's ipod (2g) is wiped clean & I cannot put any of his apps or music back on it because it is not being recognized.  Any help is greatly appreciated.  My youngest is so sad, its heartbreaking.

  • Ipod not recognized, please help!

    I am the recent owner of a 4th generation ipod nano, I also have a 2nd generation Ipod nano which works fine but when I plug in the new Ipod it says USB device not recognized and has malfuctioned. It is also not recognized by Itunes but my other Ipod works fine. I do not have the receipt for the Ipod so I cannot just go in and replace it unfortunately and I don;t think it is the cord because my other Ipod seems to work fine. I have tried updating my itunes and even uninstalled and reinstalled it but the same message pops up. The Ipod is dead and won't charge when connected to the Ipod but the screen turns on and it registers that it is connected. I have read a bunch of responses saying go in to the disk drivers and try and unistall and reinstall it but the Ipod just registers as unknown device and is only there for a few seconds because thats as long as the Ipod is recognized by the computer. Please help before I go crazy!

  • Iphone 4 not recognized in Windows and won't charge

    My iPhone 4 suddenly stopped charging via ANY charge medium, connected directly to USB port with adapter, via an iHome-like stereo, nor will it work in a wall charger. Also, neither a Mac (10.7) nor will a Win 7 computer with updated iTunes recognize it. Every time I connect it I get a message "USB device not recognized and has malfunctioned..." I have already changed the battery out (it was already out of warranty) still not charging or being recognized. Any help resolving this would be far more than appreciated!!!!!!!!!! Thank you!
    ~J

    Clean the iPhone charging port with a clean dry toothbrush. See it this helps. If still problem, clean port with toothbrush and some Isopropyll Alcohol. Clean especially the pins which are on top of the port mid-rib.

  • Help:  encoder not recognizing audio in mpg

    i have to convery a number of mpgs into flvs using flash's
    video encoder. the mpgs have audio, however when i bring them into
    the encoder, click on settings, and then click on the audio tab,
    it's all grayed out like it's not recognizing it has audio.
    anybody encounter this problem as well?
    thanks!

    Hi liscola,
    I'm having similar issues with Flash's video encoder although
    I have an MPEG file with audio that I'm converting to an FLV. I've
    been using the 'Flash 8 - High Quality' setting. It starts encoding
    the file but then give me the following error;
    2008-04-18 13:13:34 : ENCODING FAILED

    I have looked into this and there are other posts indicating
    that the encoder possibly can't format MPEGS with sound thats over
    44kbps. Other people have suggested to convert the MPEG to AVI and
    then to FLV but when I tried that is just reduced the quality of
    the video.
    If there's anyone that can help with this issue I'd really
    appreciate it.
    Thanks Simon

  • Zen Micro #2 - USB Device Not Recognized / Malfunct

    Hello again, all -
    I am now getting the error of "device not recognized" / "device has malfunctioned" when I plug my Zen Micro into my PC (running XP SP2).
    This is actually the second Micro that I've had, with the first one returned (through Newegg.com) for exactly the same problem. That first one I actually went as far as wiping off my old OS and re-installing (thinking that I had just hosed up the USB drivers somehow), but I still got the same error.
    After replacing the first Micro, I got my new Micro in the mail and it has/had worked beautifully up until today. The only thing I did notice was that it did not seem to like working side-by-side with my Microsoft IntelliMouse Explorer 2.0, the system apparently confused the two. As soon as I'd plug the player in, the mouse would behave strangely - sporatically moving and then stopping, before just stopping all together. Reverting back to an old PS/2 mouse during times of transfer would solve the problem.
    I am now getting exactly the same old malfunctioned/unrecognized error with XP with my Micro. I plug it in, and the "charging" symbol shows up and freezes in the top right corner of the player's screen (it's not flashing as it should be). The player is completely frozen. At the same time, the XP error box pops up in the bottom right corner of the screen.
    Things I've tried:
    () Zen Micro disk cleanup - with no effect
    (2) Registry clean up - deleted all instances of my USB mouse, the Zen Micro itself, and all "UNKNOWN" located in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet00\Enum\USB - with no effect
    (3) Removed / re-installed the Creative Jukebox Driver (with new June 05 version) - with no effect
    I am not about to format my PC all over again since this problem is identical to my previous occurrence on my old player, and I believe it will do nothing.
    I have no other PC here at home to test this with on another PC, perhaps I will take it into work with me tomorrow.
    USB is a truly crappy protocol, but I'm going to have to put most of the blame on Creative here for what I see as probably the worst technical support I've ever experienced. The lack of support for this product is incredible, with voodoo-like "try this, in this order" suggestions that are nothing other than a shot in the dark by them.
    Such a shame - this is a great player when it actually works, but it looks like my players from them might be batting 0 for 2. Definitely will think twice about buying their any of their follow-on products, as yet another "next generation" of players is just around the corner.
    Any suggestions as to what I should do? It's looking like a hardware (Micro) failure to me, as upon attempting communication with the PC it immediately freezes (while my other devices work beautifully).

    Did you try the player on another PC? This will narrow down where the problem is very quickly.
