My camera no longer takes videos

My camera on my IPOD Touch v. 5.1 no longer allows me to take videos. Whenever I try to take a video it just freezes and then I have to push the home button to get it off the screen.

try this:
1) reboot your iPod by pressing on/off and home button for about 10 seconds (this will not erase any data)
2) if this doesn't work, backup and restore your iPod.

My camera no longer takes good action photos. Why?

I can no longer take photos with my I pad retina display 4th gen without them turning out blurry from any movement. I was once able to get crisp clear photos without barely focusing. Now they are fuzzy, blurry and really stink! Can someone from Apple please tell me what happened? I hate my Ipad and will try Microsoft next. Facebook will be my next inquiry to raise a stink there to see how many other hate their Ipad NOW,!!!,

No one here is from Apple, but the standard troubleshooting steps to try are reset, restore, restore as new. First, try a reset and see if that helps: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until you see the apple, then let go.

Camera in 3gs no longer takes photos -- only videos

Since a recent upgrade (don't know which one, but currently running 4.3.5 (8L1) my iPhone no longer takes photos... it only takes videos.
Videos which Iphoto can't email... and can't won't break them up into individual frames.
Why?

This is your first post to this thread, so I don't quite see what point you were making.
Did it ever switch, or has it never worked?
Have you tried rebooting the phone?
Have you tried restoring iOS?

Can no longer download videos from my digital camera to iPhoto.

OK people, please help me! I've been a Mac user for a couple of years now but still have no idea how to use it properly!! (having been a PC user all my life). Today I changed the quality on my digital camera (Panasonic Lumix TZ7) to be the lowest quality so I could fit more on my SD card, not feeling the need to read the instructions first. When I came to download to iPhoto, it wouldn't. So resorting to reading my camera instruction book, I needed to download some software that came with the camera which I did. But when I still couldn't download the videos using this software, I read the instruction book more thoroughly and discovered that the software I needed (PhotofunStudio) wasn't compatible with a Mac (PC only) and the software I had downloaded (Arcsoft Panorama maker and Arcsoft MediaImpression) obviously wasn't what I needed. When neither of these would download the video, I deleted the software from my iMac but when I opened iPhoto, it gave me some error messages about files not able to be read (or something similar, I can't quite remember) and a list of file names to which I clicked OK not even thinking about it. What that did was delete all videos from iPhoto I had downloaded from this camera! And now I can't download any videos from my camera to iPhoto!!! The only thing I can think is that it has changed the default download/view to be Arcsoft (even though I've deleted all the files - I think!!) So please, how do I get iPhoto to again download my videos? Sorry for the long winded post but because I am a hopeless Mac user, thought I would give as much info as possible!
I'm computer literate with PC but definitely not Mac - it scares me as I don't know what I am doing plus it is my OWN machine so don't want to stuff it up (which is exactly what I seem to have done!). I had no trouble previously downloading videos on the higher quality setting to iPhoto. Please can someone help?!

OK thanks I will try that. I just don't understand why I still can't download new videos as I've deleted the software I installed and I've changed my camera settings back to what they were before when I could download into iPhoto. I perhaps should have mentioned it's iPhoto '08 version 7.1.5. Is there any way of putting iPhoto back as the "default download and view" programme?
It could be as simple as longer (larger) videos - iPhoto does not always handle larger video files well
Is there any way of putting iPhoto back as the "default download and view" programme?
iPhoto is not a download and view program - it is a photo management database program that imports photos - Image Capture is a download program - Preview is a view program
The default program to download your photos is set in the preference panel of either iPhoto or image capture

IPad after update to 6.0.1 no longer stream video from my wireless Internet home monitoring camera. Help

I have a wireless-n Internet home monitoring camera system that before i upgraded to 6.0.1 streamed video. Does anyone have the similar issue who has fixed it?

I should mention that it no longer streams video. Duh.

Currently using iPhoto 7.1.5 We recently upgraded from Leopard to Snow Leopard with updated Quicktime player. Our videos off our camera no longer open in Quicktime by double clicking. Any help?

We are running iPhoto 7.1.5 '08. After upgrading to Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and Quicktime Player 10.0, our videos off of our camera no longer open by double clicking. Any help?

Thank you for your quick reply. I'll give it a try. Another workaround I figured out last night is to right click the video, click show file, and then double click the file. Quicktime the plays the video.

After uprading to iOS 5.1 I can no longer play videos in my camera roll. I just get the following error "The requested URL was not found on this server"

After uprading to iOS 5.1 I can no longer play videos in my camera roll. I just get the following error "The requested URL was not found on this server".
Anyone have any ideas?

You have two choices to try & fix this: 1. Backup your phone, then restore as a new device, then restore from the backup you first created, or 2. Follow the advise from this poster:
I had the same problem with the black blocks after upgrading to iOS4 on my iPhone. The reason for the black blocks is that the thumbnail images for those particular images have not been created when the Photo Library has been updated to iOS4. I followed the advice on a couple of blogs and fixed the problem.
1. I downloaded iPhone Explorer free software (http://www.macroplant.com/iphoneexplorer/) so I could view the photo data folders on my phone. I could see that the thumbnail images were missing.
2. I followed a slight variation on the instructions on this blog. (http://blog.mbentley.net/2010/06/iphone-ios-4-upgrade-restore-lost-pictures-in-c amera-roll/)
3. First I copied the Photo Data folder by dragging it from the iPhone Explorer window to my Mac desktop.
4. Through iPhone Explorer I deleted the info.plist file in the Media/PhotoData/MISC folder.
5. I also deleted the Photos.sqlite and PhotosAux.sqlite files in Media/PhotoData.
6. I then rebooted the phone and launched the Photo Library.
7. The Library rebuilt it's self again and recreated the thumbnails.
8. The problem was fixed!!! Thank you M Bentley!
I hope this helps - this has been bugging me for 2 weeks.

Can we record a video from a web cam and let saved video take our previous setting

Can we record a video from a web cam and let saved video take

can we configure that in code or is it a webcam specs?

Hi, Vikas-
After a brief bit of research, you're definitely hitting upon the limitation of the browsers. Not all of the browsers have implemented this part of the HTML5 standard, so you're going to either have to use Flash or be limited to these specific browsers.
Thanks,

60% of the cameras 'supported' in 3.2 that take video use AVCHD

Of the cameras purported to be newly supported in LR 3.2, 8 shoot video. Of those 8, 5 use the AVCHD codec (and one of the remainders doesnt shoot HD). The 5 that use AVCHD include the LX5 and the Sony Nex cameras, both likely to be popular as compact cameras for those who normally use a DSLR.
It seems a bit silly and shortsighted that Lightroom doesnt support AVCHD, when it is rapidly becoming the most popular format. Even the newest cameras that Adobe is trying to develop support for, the majority use a format that LR ignores.
The problem will only get worse, as Nikon is reputed to be using AVCHD in its new DSLRs.
At the very least perhaps new announcements could specifiy whether or not the full camera is supported, because when you tout video as a key selling feature of LR3 one might assume that a claim of supporting that camera would include more then just still images.

I want lightroom to work properly, where on earth did you get the idea I did not want video?
Thronsen wrote:But just as a basic point of education, its alot more then 5 cameras that use AVCHD. Its 5 cameras just out of the 8 that LR recently supported.
You mentioned 5, I am now more educated, thank you for that apologies to the other manufacturers of those cameras, I have shot video for many many years, but using professional equipment for TV, commercials and documentaries, I am not yet as familiar using with DSLR's to shoot video, compression is always an issue and ACHD does cause ugly artefacts, but it is plenty better than many of the prosumer codecs.
If you dont want to use your camera for video, thats up to you. But many people do, in fact apparently the highest growth segment of DSLR purchses are video people.
I can't wait to get the new Canon 3D with even better video support than the 7D, Cant wait to use video commercially in the shoots I do.
And Im pretty sure the LR staff, or at least Adobe disagrees with you. Video was one of the most important changes highlighted in virtually every piece of marketing material I saw. On the main LR page it was listed 3rd.
I"m sure lightroom working properly was the 1st, I was talking about priorities.
Finally, please dont make the same tired argument about how tough it would be to implement editing.
so, its easy to write Final Cut Pro 7 for lightroom is it? Barely a tired argument.
All most want is the ability for LR to import the videos (so we dont need 2 programs to do so), show a thumbnail (so we can see our videos mixed with our photos from the same shoot), and hand off the video to the OS or chosen player. All of which is already done by LR for other formats (and all of which is done for free by Windows 7 natively).
That was my list of questions I asked you,
"And anyway, what do you want to be able to do with AVCHD? edit? record? Store? Playback?"
Is that not a fair question to ask you?
I simply asked a couple of very pertinent questions, and I can read and write to any post I want to. I did not expect to get some kind of bullish response.

Camera app won't take VIDEO after upgrading to iOS 8.

I take videos every day in my work. Since upgrading to iOS 8, I can take PICTURES, but when I take a video, it -disappears-. I can't find it on the iPhone (5) and it doesn't show up in that tiny box in the corner of the screen like it did under iOS 7. I've looked under Photos and under Videos.

Yes, you'll find that when you have the video problem, you also cannot get Siri to listen to you, and you cannot use the Voice Memos.app. I use voice memos a lot whilst driving between clients. Indeed, any app that uses the microphone will fail.
So I had an old iPhone 4 that I pressed into use (OFF NETWORK) and JUST TO ADJUST THE STARKEYS, and am not using my iPhone 5 paired to the Starkeys at all. BTW, this is true also for the Resound Linx.
50/50 chance that fixing the Bluetooth issue will also fix this one. Wait and see.
Meantime, I have a 6+ on order, and plan to not fire that up on cellular until the problems are resolved, but to use it for photography in the interim.

S230U Twist - Camera no longer works after Win 8.1

Hello all!
I've scoured the forums and tried EVERYTHING but I still cannot find a solution to my problem:
After I upgrade from Win 8 to Win8.1, my camera no longer works. It shows a gray screen with a camera and a diagonal line across it but the green camera light shows up; I also get a shutter sound when take a picture but the image is only of the aforementioned gray camera screen. I can't use the camera for video in skype or any other video chat function.
My Integrated Camera driver version is 3.4.7.26 (SunplusIT) dated 3/15/2013. I tried to upgrade but it seems to be the latest one.
I've also checked that the Lock Screen setting is set to ON for "Swipe down on lock screen to use camera".
SOMEONE, please HELP!

Hi,
Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
I'm really sorry to hear that when you try to use webcam in your Lenovo S230U Twist, you are getting a crossed camera image.
Check if your camera is in normal or private mode. This could be happening because you might have set your camera in private mode.
Go into Lenovo Settings App and select camera.
There will be the options of Private and Normal.
Select Normal.
Also, in Settings > Permissions, make sure that Skype and other similar apps have permission to access the Webcam or Microphone.
Hope this helps!
Best regards,
Mithun.

Automator bugs: freezing after Take Video Snapshot action

Hi there-
Just testing out some of my automator workflows, and it seems that some basic (built-in) automator actions no longer function under Mountain Lion.
Running the action "Take Video Snapshot" pops up a mini window that can take a user's photo. Running the action causes Automator to hang immediately after the action attempts to save the image.
Modifying the action's settings has no effect- take photo automatically drives automator right into freezing once the photo is snapped. Manually taking the photo causes the freeze to happen right when the user clicks 'Done'
Could someone please re-create and verify that this isn't isolated to my machine? I'd super appreciate it.
Getting frustrated with Automator since Lion- they keep breaking more and more Automator actions with each OS update, it seems.

Having the same issue. I tried to get around it by tethering a camera in automator and using the 'Take Picture' action. But then you get a different error if you try to use the action more than once:
Cannot update for observer <AMWorkflow 0x4001d9c20> for the key path "parameters.name" from <TakePicture 0x401042700>, most likely because the value for the key "parameters" has changed without an appropriate KVO notification being sent. Check the KVO-compliance of the TakePicture class.
Called apple because these support threads seem to take forever, they directed me to https://developer.apple.com (after asking what manufacturer I got the program from...uh, you?). I have seen a lot of posts with the tethering error, not so many with our 'Take Video Snapshot' error, but I assure you that it is not unique to your computer!
Hope they catch autmator up with the new OS, not everyone uses it but those who do REALLY use it.
