My camera doesn't work, it says its not connected.

Hi, i got a macbook air, and its been a while since my camera doesnt work,
its says its not connected.

What kind of external camera is this? I am assuming it is a USB camera? Make sure that you aren't using any USB hubs. Also try connecting it to another USB port. Have you installed the drivers from the camera manufacturer yet?
Thanks,
Sean

  • Ipod can charge but itunes says its not connected

    Just got a ipod about an hour ago and connected it to my cpu and it is charging but when i try to put songs from my cpu to the ipod its doesnt show up anywhere i cant sync it and i did the diagnostics check and it says Ipod connection status failed. How do i fix it. I went to the help menu and none of it has resloved my problem.

    First of all, try another port on your computer. Some ports are not connected direct to the motherboard and do not recognize the iPod as well as those that are. Reset the iPod each time you connect it to another port.
    Then try with the iPod in forced disk mode.
    Putting iPod into disk mode.
    Still no joy, see these.
    USB drivers are not installed properly.
    iTunes 7 doesn't recognize the iPod.

  • My gmail keeps saying its not connected on my Blackberry Z10

    Recently thegmail on my Z10 has stopped the gmail connection - it does not allow emails through and when I check the systems button it tells me that gmail is not connected . sometimes it says there is no internet access when there is , other times it does not give any reason. 
    I tried turning the phone off and on and occasionally it starts working but not often. It seems worse than ever now since I downloaded the Blackberry update to my phone yeaterday.
    Please help because if I cannot access my emails the Blackberry is not fit for purpose.

    Hello
    With a strong carrier network signal (e.g., not merely WiFi), I suggest the following steps, in order, even if they seem redundant to what you have already tried (steps 1 and 2 each should result in a message coming to your BB...please wait for that before proceeding to the next step):
    1) Register HRT
    KB00510 How to register a BlackBerry smartphone with the wireless network
    Please wait for one "registration" message to arrive to your Messages app (or otherwise be notified)
    2) Reboot
    Pre-BB10 Devices ONLY. With power ON, remove the back cover and pull out the battery. Wait about a minute then replace the battery and cover. Power up and wait patiently through the long reboot -- ~5 minutes.
    BB10 Devices. Hold the top button down until the counter reaches zero. Wait for the device to be fully shut down (e.g., nothing at all displayed on the screen, no LED lights, etc.). Hold the top button until the red LED is lit. Wait through the full boot-up process. IF this fails, you can attempt the battery-pull method above, but it is normally NOT recommended unless nothing else works.
    See if things have returned to good operation. Like all computing devices, BB's suffer from memory leaks and such...with a hard reboot being the best cure.
    Hopefully that will get things going again for you! If not, then you should try deleting and re-adding your configurations for the affected email accounts. Otherwise, you should contact your mobile service provider for formal support.
    Good luck!

    Have you tried rebooting your router - unplug it for about 30 seconds and then plug it back in? Is this a new problem? Have you been able to connect to your home WiFi before?

  • I cant get my camera to work it says its on but has no feedback, any ideas?

    i cant get my camera to work it says its on but has no feedback, any ideas?

    Here are my best suggestions for your camera problem:
    • If Apple's http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2090
       suggestions do not help you, (the "reset" suggested there
       often restores normal function,) continue with the following.
    • Use your Mac's Disk Utility to repair permissions and then
       download and apply the latest Combo Update for your Mac OS.
       If you are using OS X 10.7 or later, reinstall OS X.
    • Repair permissions again immediately following the system restart
       that completes the Combo update or reinstall.
    Properly applying the Combo version of updates can sometimes correct software problems, but, if your trouble is caused by a hardware problem, there are no user serviceable parts of the camera.  For hardware help, contact Apple or an Apple-Authorized Service Provider for service.
    (Over time, 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 same info and troubleshooting applies.)
       Unless you have a current backup, make one now.
      Then use the final "Troubleshooting" suggestion:
    "... contact Apple or an Apple-Authorized Service Provider for service."

  • Droid 3 problems - Cell standby eats up a ton of battery - camera doesn't work - more in thread.

    I am making a post regarding this problem because it seems only new posts get a response from VZW reps. Before you ask, yes I have used the battery saving tips - this is clearly a problem with cell standby and wifi. They are, by far, the biggest consumers of the battery. I don't know what's going on here but this should not be happening. Even on the unpatched Thunderbolt the battery life wasn't this bad. This battery problem is clearly not because of any third party apps, even with no accounts set up and nothing installed, the battery drains very quickly.
    The camera doesn't work right, and regularly freezes. When it does work, it's very blue. I am told this is a known issue and the patch is on the way I'm told.
    The stock keyboard's suggestion bar often stays on the screen no matter what, regardless of whether I am typing or not.
    The Droid 3 does NOT charge off my car's USB cable, every other phone and mobile device I've tried does, however, so this is clearly an issue with the phone.
    The stock homescreen lags and redraws often.
    The pre-installed apps that I don't want or use, are using up a big chunk of memory (and certainly not helping already abysmal battery life). If they are killed, they just start themselves again. They cannot be uninstalled. If Verizon wants to give us extra apps, great, but allow us to uninstall them.
    I received this as a replacement phone because the previous replacement phone was having issues. I've gotten dozens of replacement phones and ALL of them have had problems. Whatever steps are being taken to ensure these phones work properly do not ensure that people are getting a working phone. This process needs to be revised. The premium price we as Verizon customers pay should translate to our customer experience.
    -A very frustrated customer.

    I've had a Droid 3 for about a month. I think it's a really good phone, but cell standby and phone idle are the biggest consumers of battery life on my phone. The camera is slow to load and the images have a blue tint sometimes. When surfing the web or the app store and exiting afterwards, the main screen can take 8 - 16 seconds to materialize. When surfing through the Social Messaging (NonBlur) widget, it repeats things you've already read when you check it later on and when replying to comments via the Social Messaging widget, they don't always post. The back cover squeaks now from removing it occasionally to pull the battery when the phone freezes up. For being a 1G dual core processor phone, you would never know it. I've also had problems with the suggestion bar remaining on the screen even after you press the space bar. The app store is maddeningly slow to load. The indicator next to my battery charging port doesn't work, well it flickered once. I haven't had issues with Bluetooth or wifi as some have. My GPS seems to work well. 
    The bloatware on the phone is ridiculous. I don't use any of the Verizon apps or other preloaded apps. They take up a lot of the useable space on the phone and can't be removed. I really don't care about an NFL app....and I can't remove it or anything else. Verizon should give you the option of removing the apps you won't use. It would be a good customer service move. Instead, I think its selfish to make us live with apps that take up space and slow the phone down. This phone comes with Android 2.3.4 which is the fastest version of Android right now....I can honestly say that my Droid X with 2.2 was faster on the move than this phone. However, after downloading 2.3.3, it ruined the phone and a replacement.
    I think if a software update addresses most of these issues, the Droid 3 would be outstanding. The hardware keyboard is the best on the market and I love the 4 inch screen. I pay $100 + a month for service through Verizon. I think the phone should operate as promised. The 8 megapixel camera is slow to load and focus. My old Droid X had a good 8MP camera sensor. Lesser phones have great cameras. My boss' iphone 4 takes WAY better pics with a 5MP camera. I know it's a software issue and that it can be resolved. Make this phone world class by working with Motorola to deliver a quality software update. 
    I stick with Verizon because of their reliable coverage. If this phone doesn't get addressed with a software update, I'll look at a WP7 phone or something on Sprint (better prices on data etc) or Virgin Mobile which has some decent phones and dirt cheap messaging and data plans.

  • Canon mini Disk camera doesn't work if external drive connected

    A long story.      Anyway, I have a MacPro Intel Dual Core 266 Ghz with 5 Gbs RAM,  4 internal hard drives HD1~HD4 (HD1 OSX 250 and three 500Gb) and two external HD5 (two partitions~HD5 & Time Machine Backups) and HD6 (1 Tb each).
    I've been using a Canon mini DV video camera FV-M10 (Firewire 400) for live video (Skype/iChat) and also for importing video into Final Cut Express, After Effects or iMovie up until a few days ago.  Both "live" video and from the recorded mini cassette tape.  Then all of a sudden not one of the software recognized my camera anymore.  I tried both Firewire 800/400 and USB2 connections using a few different cables. In Skype...(sometimes) it automatically shows the name FV-M10 in the camera slot, but the screen is black.  No, I checked if I left the cover on.  I checked my Sony WX-5 digital camera and see if that is recognized.  Yes, both pics and AVCHD videos are seen using the USB connection. 
    The problem started like this.
    I was downloading a file.  Had to work for an hour and when I came back upstairs.  I noticed that the screen was frozen.   So, I shut the Mac down.  And when I started it again, well nothing happened except for a grey screen.  A half~sized cursor was stuck up in the top left.  But, my mouse also had a cursor which was movable.  
    It wouldn't even recognize the OSX Install Disk holding down "C" or "Option".  Only starting with "Shift" held down, "Safe Boot"  could I use the basics like Mail, Safari, Firefox.   NO sound and no video. Tried a few times as well as cleaned my OSX HD1 hard drive and re-installed from "Safe Boot" mode".   So, I had it sent into Apple Tokyo for repairs.   Apple put in a new board.     Great!      I came it back in two days.   I cleaned the OSX hard drive and re-installed Mac OSX with the up-dates as well and got some of my main backed up stuff Mail, bookmarks, address book etc.   It started fine.     But, when I went to use Skype, iChat, iMovie or Final Cut Express  they still couldn't recognize my camera.  I had been using the Canon FV M10 camera for a few years with both external hard drives on.  There were never any problems until just before I sent it into the shop.
    There was only one way to use my camera.  Un-Plug the external HD6.  Then the camera functions fine.  but remember I had been using this camera with both HD's for around two years without any problems.
    Notes on symptoms:  and what actions I took.  
    Front connections: FW400 Canon camera.  FW800 (Tried connecting HD6)  
    Rear Connections: USB2 1) MidiMan 2 x2   2) mouse  3) Canon Printer
                                   FW400 HD5  FW800 (tried HD6)
    With HD6 Connected.
    iMovie 11 9.02 : Start iMovie  O.K.  No camera on.   Turned camera "on" then "No Camera Connected" notice came up.   (did this a few times)   Turned camera off.   Quit iMovie. 
    2nd start:  Camera On.   iMovie freezes.   Spinning Colored beach ball.   I then Force Quit Option-Apple-ESC
    iMovie shows (not responding)  When I turn off the camera.  (not responding) disappears and iMovie is working again.  But, "No Camera Connected" shows again.  Quit!
    Un-Plugged (Ejected) HD6.
    When I un-plugged HD6,    (tried both the front and rear connections).   iMovie still on.  
    "No Camera Connected"  I Quit iMovie.
    Re-start iMovie:  Camera on… Live video and record miniDV tape can both be seen. 
    Skype:  Both live video and mini DV tape recording even plays back over Skype screen.
    iChat (same as Skype) O.K.
    Since Apple replaced the board 661-3932 Card Video, NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT which cost just about $X00.00  (¥XX,000).   I assume that they don't also check all the connections etc. I mean from the connector to the video board.
    The call to Apple Tokyo today.  
    Just talked to Apple (Mac) Tokyo about my computer problem.  Seems like they're trying to squeeze their way of more repairs by saying I have a hard drive configuration problem.   But it doesn't seem like that!   I worked with it 2~3 hours today...and  here is the basic problem.
    I've used the Canon FV M10 mini DV camera with Skype, iChat, iMovie and FCEx for few  years  (HD6) is over a year old-the most recent add on) with no problem.    With both external 1Tb hard drives.  And Apple said that it's a 3-party problem.  (different makers etc.)  But, it's NOT!     Yes, they put in a new board.   But, I'd say the problem is from the connection (where I plug the cable into the Mac)  to the board. 
    When I connect HD6 (1Tb ext hard drive).   FW 800 (either back or front connection) the video camera doesn't work in  Skype, iChat, iMovie, or Final Cut Express.     If I eject and Un-Plug HD6  all of them work fine.  The camera "live" or the camera playing back the mini DV tape video.
    Wouldn't this be a problem between the connections (front & back) to the new video board?  Or does anyone have an answer.   Apple seems to have said, "We can't help you".   Please someone help!  thanks

    +My mini isn't responding to startup commands like "C" or "D" from the keyboard.+
    You'll need a wired usb keyboard for these commands to work -- and the Apple Aluminum keyboard won't work either.
    But just about any PC usb keyboard will work. Alt maps to Option and Win-key to CMD.
