My Built-in Webcam has my image in a horizontal split screen!

My Built-in Webcam has my image in a horizontal split screen. How can I fix this???

Let me explain more - when I use skype for example, my image is displayed in a horizontal split screen. I have tried another chat product and the same thing happens - so it must be something to do with the built in camera or configuration of the camera. Would it be best to contact Apple about this? Will somebody have to get a spanner out to fix my quite new macbook pro? (3 months old). I teach languages online so I really depend on a decent image. Can anybody help me?

My macbook built-in webcam has died 2 times since I have owned it. Any ideas?

I got the macbook in 2010. It was the last year they made the white macbook (that I can tell). Since then I have had the webcam die on me twice. The first time it was under the apple care plan and I took it back they replaced screen/unit. Less than a year later the same thing happened. No damage to the macbook. No dropping. No deleting of software. None of the normal programs which use the built-in webcam will even detect it. Nothing that I can think of that would cause this. Any ideas?

Netbook N250 has built in webcam but laptop doesn't recognize it.

I have a netbook NB250. It has a built-in webcam but I can't access it. I re-installed the driver and looked in control panel and under my computer but there is not link to it. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

What's the full model number of your netbook? Look on a label on the bottom.
In the Start Menu's search field, type "Device Manager" and press ENTER. Is there an entry titled "Imaging devices"?

My laptop has a webcam but no built in webcam app.

I have to use a crappy software to take pictures. How do I fix this? I need a webcam app that has a timer and I was hoping that there'd a be built in webcam app on my laptop that would do the trick. But there's no app in the first place.
Help.
This question was solved.

Hi,
Unless you've removed it, the webcam software should hae a software/app called CyberLink Youcam. You can dwnload from the following link and install on your computer again:

Presario CQ 71 - Built in Webcam not detected under Windows 7 Professional - No HP-101 device

I have a Compaq Presario CQ 71 EB400. On this notebook I run both Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bits and Windows 7 Professional 64-bits to compare behaviour of apps and windows features in both environments.
Windows 7 Home on my HD C partition
Windows 7 Professional on my HD F partition.
The CQ 71 has a built in Webcam, that shows up under Windows 7 Home premium Device Manager - Imaging Devices (Cameras and Scanners) as HP-101, linked to the required drivers.
Under Windows 7 Home premium:
- The built-in CQ 71 Webcam is detected and operational - the HP-101 entry is present in Device Manager.
- Applications using a Webcam like Skype, Mycam, Manycom etc connect with the Webcam
- When I plug in an external Webcam, thet webcam is detected as well, drivers loaded etc.
Under Windows 7 Professional:
- The built in Webcam is not detected, in the Device Manager -Imaging Devices, the HP-101 Webcam entry is absent
- Skype, Mycam, Manycam cannot find a Webcam (also not when an external USB Webcam is plugged in)
- A plugged in external Web cam is not detected as an imaging device.
I use a Brother printer/scanner/fax machine, the Brother scanner device is visible as Imaging device in Device manager in both Windows 7 Home premium and Windows 7 Professional.
Other USB devices, portable disks, card readers etc seem to work OK in both Windows 7 environments.
The HP support pages provide information what to do when a internal Webcam is not detected; The recommended actions make no difference. Going back to a previous W7 Prof restore point is no option, as on the CQ 71 notebook the built-in Webcam never functioned under W7 Professional.
The major difference is that all Windows 7 Home Premium relatede system software resides on the C partition, all Windows 7 Professional system software on the F partition.
I'm looking for a way to kickstart the built in CQ 71 Webcam under Windows 7 Professional installed on a non-standard partition.
Your suggestions will be very welcome.
Jan Dijckmeester.

Hi again jdij,
It is good to hear back from you!
To enable your system to detect the Webcam in Windows 7, I recommend re-installing the original drivers and software that first came with your computer. This can be done by following the steps in this document on Using Recovery Manager to Restore Software and Drivers (Windows 7). To update the newly installed software, please follow this resource on Using HP Support Assistant (Windows 7).
If the webcam is still not detected, I recommend returning your system back to a previous restore point. This can be done by following the steps in this document on Using Microsoft System Restore (Windows 7).
Should the problem continue, I suggest performing a backup and recovery of your operating system. This can be done by following the steps in this resource on Backing Up Your Files (Windows 7), as well as Performing an HP system recovery (Windows 7). This should return your system back to factory defaults.
If the issue persists, please call our technical support at 800-474-6836. If you live outside the US/Canada Region, please click the link below to get the support number for your region.

My HP Pavilion doesn't detect the built-in webcam

Sir, I have a built-in webcam that used to work perfectly until recently. My Laptop came with Windows 8 in 2013 and I upgraded it to Windows 8.1. However, now my computer is not able to detect the built-in webcam. I know it's a software problem because the hardware couldn't have been damaged. I have tried installing the 'youCam software' with the help of HP recovery manager, and it was successfully installed. Still, when I open YouCam, it says, "No available camera detected. Please check if camera is connected and try again". Even device manager has no 'imaging devices' option. I guess something turned the webcam off, and for some reason, no driver is able to turn it back on I need to get that camera working. My product name/number is, 15-n010TX. Please let me know what I can do.. thank you

Try a hard reset as follows:
1) Remove the battery and unplug the DC power adapter.
2) Press and hold the power button for more than fifteen seconds.
3) Plug in the DC power adapter (leave the battery out for now)
4) Press the power button

Dell SP2008WFP monitor with built in webcam - webcam not working

Just set up the new SP2008WFP monitor from Dell with the built in webcam to use with my Ti 500mhz powerbook. At first it told me the camera was in use by another application, but after installing iChatUSBCam I was able to get it to show a black screen instead. Microphone works fine. I tried the same with my newer Core 2 Duo macbook pro and was able to get a picture from iChat from the built in monitor camera with IChatUSBCam installed (evocam also gave me a picture right off the bat). My assumption is that there is an issue with the older mac. Not sure why that would be and if there are any solutions for it. I tried zapping pram and trashing ichat prefs but to no avail. Anyone have any other suggestions?
Another issue with the monitor is that at the suggested resolution of 1680x1050 the image is scooted about 4 inches to the right with no way of correcting. I have to set it to 1600x1000 to get a centered desktop. Again, not a problem when connected to the newer macbook pro. Are both these issues a sign of a video card issue?

The G4 Titanium was top of the bill when it was introduced, and still is a good laptop. However it would not be a good sign if it still was cause the MBP would not be top of the bill. To put it simple it has aged and the processing power is not enough to deliver the HiRes needed to do todays state of the art screens. Use the MBP for the external screen, it does the trick even when it has deliver the high resolution twice and then some. For nostalgia's sake you can flash back to it's introduction by the master of ceremony, you wouldn't say it is more than 6 years ago.

My laptop no longer detects my built in webcam

I have an HP G60-635DX notebook. I have a built in webcam which I have used several times before, but now all of a sudden my laptop is not even detecting I have a built in webcam. What to do? I have a Mobile Intel 4 Series Express Webcam. It bums me out. It is the only way I can talk to my boyfriend face to face while he is out of town and now it is not even working!

OK, to start with, may I know if you can you check using webcam with Cyberlink Youcam Software & if webcam is listed in device manager under imaging device....
To get to device manager, follow the below steps:
Click on the Start button and then choose Control Panel.
Click on the System and Security icon.
Note: If you're viewing the Large icons or Small icons view of Control Panel, you won't see this link. Simply click on Device Manager and then proceed to Step 4.
In the System and Security window, click on the Device Manager link located under the System heading.

How to use HP Mini's built-in webcam in Windows 7?

I have a new HP Mini 5101 netbook. It came with a built-in webcam. Yay! It also came with Windows 7 Starter. Ugh!
How do I get it to access the built-in webcam? In Windows XP, you'd just go to My Computer, and there was a camera icon right there. You'd double-click it, and the camera would start operating. I can't find any similar feature for Windows 7, I can't find any topic in the HP Help for using the web cam, and there's nothing listed in the support topics for accessing the camera in the HP Mini support section.
The camera is recognized in Device Manager, so I know it's not a driver issue. I just don't see where I'm supposed to click to access the webcam.
Someone must have come across this. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Sir_Timbit

Dorgem has been discontinued so I think you'll have to go with MSN live messenger.

My built-in webcam is not being detected by CyberLink Youcam on Windows 7 (HP Pavilion dv2660se)

Hi, I bought this laptop from someone I know, and Windows 7 came with it. I must say I don't know much about electronics. The built-in webcam won't work, either on CyberLink YouCam or on MSN Messenger. On CyberLink Youcam, it says no webcam is detected. In the control panel it doesn't even say there's a webcam, but there's an 'unknown peripheric' though. What can I do? P.S.: Please forgive english mistakes if there's any.

Hi I have exactly the same problem. My webcam was working for months but I recently had the laptop sent for repairs for something else, and I've just noticed since having it back that the webcam isn't detected. When going into the webcam program it says there is no webcam detected and for integrated cameras, make sure it is switched on. I've also had an unknown USB device notification flashing up but when I investigate in Device Manager I have in 'Sound, video and game controllers' Cyberlink Youcam virtual driver installed and 'functioning properly' Also in USB devices there is a usb not functioning properly "Universal Serial Bus Controllers / (Standard USB Host controller) / Port_#0002.Hub_#0003" and 'no drivers have been loaded for this device'. It's unknown but when I choose to search manually for driver updates the path it directs me to is C:\Program Files (x86)\Realtek\NICDRV_8169\win7 'Windows has stopped this device as it has reported problems (Code 43)' Does anyone know what I might be able to do? I've tried reinstalling the Webcam driver but apparent from that I don't really know where to go.... Thanks

Built-in Webcam not Recognized by Laptop

My built-in webcam on my Satellite A305-S6905 is not recognized by my laptop!!!
I click on Camera Assitant Software to boot up the cam and get no where.
The error message reads: Webcam is either disabled or failed. Please check your webcam settings.
I have no clue where the webcam settings might be. I have downloaded the driver 2x from the Toshiba recommended downloads: Intel Chipset Software Installation Utility for Windows Vista (32/64bit) / XP(v8.7.0.1007; 04-13-201... I get a message that the download was successful. Then, I check the list of devices in the Device Manager. The Chicony USB 2.0 Camera software is nowhere to be found. I cannot select it to Update the software. I have restarted my computer 2x. No help.
Does anyone have any suggestions? My daughter is leaving for Hong Kong and Vietman and I would like to track her journey using Skype. Thanks, NC

Thank you for the help Jerry, but I already tried that download. After downloading, I recved the following message: “The setup has detected that version (1.07..) of Camera Assistant Software for Toshiba is already installed. This setup installs an earlier version of Cam Asst. Soft for Toshba. You will need to uninstall the previous version (17.193.0508L) before installing this version.”
I have not tried to find the earlier Cam Asst Soft for Toshba version to uninstall yet. Should I find the earlier version, uninstall and download this earlier version?

Skype, photobooth, Imovie, online sites, Ichat, Nothing Works with my camera, it says No camera Connected? Please help. Macbook 10.5.8 Version.

HI,
Go to the Apple icon menu and hold the ALT key down whilst doing so.
Select System Profiler (it changes when and if you hold the ALT key down)
IN the System Profiler open up the Hardware > USB option
Does this list the camera ?
If not then do a SMC/PMU reset (the model Specific bits are at the bottom)
If it does appear then Log in a different Mac User Account (You may need to create one in System Preferences > Accounts)
Do those same Apps "see" the camera now ?
