My Front facing Camera and video chat don't work since the latest OS download

My playbook is over a year old and worked great until the new OS download.  Now when i go to my camera and try to put it on the front facing camera to take a picture i get ERROR.4003 PIcture.  When I try to go on video chat it states that another application is using the camera. please close the other application and try again.  And there is nothing else open.  I tried security wiping my playbook and reinstalling the software and the error is still there.  I even tried hard rebooting it by holding down the power/vol +/vol- and that was to no avail.  I am no longer covered by warranty.  Do i need to send this to BB to get it fixed or is there a software fix that can be downloaded?

Contact RIM. They can help whether it is out of warranty or not.

  • Screen Sharing and video chats don't work

    I've been searching this forum for awhile and I haven't found a concrete answer to my problem, so if this question has been answered please excuse me. Ok, So here's my situation am running iChat on Mac OS 10.5.1. Whenever I am using my laptop at my school on the network their, I am able to use both screen sharing and video chat. But when I am at home, I am unable to use either one. It begins to try to start the session, but then i receive a message that tells me that a connection could not be established. I know that I have internet access, but I don't know what could be wrong with it.

    After investing far to long in looking at this exact issue on my end, reading the seemingly endless threads on the exact same error, trying all the various tweeks and QT settings, bandwidth limit settings, etc etc. proposed here, I have now solved this problem, and the none of the above were part of the solution.
    I have perhaps one of the the most common routers on the market, Linksys WRT54GL.
    In a totally unrelated network problem (a printing issue), Linksys tech support advised me to reset my router. There is a small button on the bottom. I depressed it for 30 seconds. Rebooted everything and my printer miraculously worked. Yea, I had to reenter my WAP passkey, router admin password etc., but that took 2 secs. So, what does this have to do with iChat?.... The very next time I tried iChat video and turned on and enabled my camera, the recipient immedialty saw me. No connection error.
    Problem solved, for me art least. Not sure if anyone has tried this, but makes sooooo much more sense than the other unApple like suggestions I previous tried. Hope this helps.

  • Why does iChat video/audio chat don't work since 10.7.3

    Yesterday I updated my Mac to Lion 10.7.3.
    Now I can't have video/audio chat with my buddies anymore.
    Any suggestions what might it be?
    All my buddies are on the same jabber server and two days ago it work seamlessly.

    Hi,
    This is about iChat being cut off at th router due to some sort of Protection feature.
    Most likley this is DoS (Denial of Service)
    This is threshold based and will have changed from SNow Leopard as iChat can not use  HD camera if the computer has one (meaning more pixels per frame and therfore more data being sent.)
    The Protection then cuts the one port it thinks is getting too much data.
    It may be before you did not reach the Threshold but now you do.
    (could be that the Buddy has just got a faster Service).
    In iChat > Preferences > Video Section on both computer set the Bandwidth to 500kbps.
    This should keep it below the threshold.
    Alternativley turn the feature off in the router's set up pages.
    The Log (Open the Send to Apple Pop up and see the whole log) may well list that Pings are not being sent
    This could be that the call gets cut off before this or that the router is Blocking Pings.
    If you need to copy the log and post the first two sections here   (that is in fact all of It except the bit below the Line "Binary Images for iChat")
    9:55 PM      Thursday; February 2, 2012
    Please, if posting Logs, do not post any Log info after the line "Binary Images for iChat"

    On Vista Home premium, uninstalling and reinstalling buth iTunes and Apple Applicatioon Support did NOT work for me.
    What did work for me was manually copyting CoreVideo.dll from the Apple Application Support folder into my iTunes folders (actually, to both of them - under Program Files and Program Files (x86)) as per advice posted in a Windows forum, found after an hour or more of frustration and failure.
    This appears to be a bug in the 10.1 installation scriptimng - what's going on?

  • Stylus and Screen Rotation don't work since update

    Hi,
    since the X update my stylus won't do anymore. I tried reinstalling/updating the linuxwacom driver, however the package build stops with the error: "Too few arguments for for the function >InitValuatorAxisStruct<"
    In addition to this, rotating the screen with the rotation script given on the tablet pc wiki page or doing it manually in xfce4 crashes my X server.
    Can anyone hint to why the new X crashes on rotation or why my stylus won't work anymore?
    Appreciating your concern

    Thank you for your fast response ! I have a 2 TB Time Capsule as well. Maybe I will be moving the images to the Time Capsule and give it a try creating
    a new catalogue from that. All kind of files worked very well on all Mac OS X and still do except images. So it doesn't seem to be a Mac OS X / NAS thing
    generally. Looks more that LR 5 doesn't like the NAS especially when we take into consideration that the files work perfectly on my MacBook AIR that has
    access to the NAS, too but without LR 5.

  • Filling in forms and clicking continue no longer works since the last Firefox update. Please help!

    Since downloading the latest update for firefox, I can no longer complete forms or orders online. I click continue and it keeps me where I am only the form is once again blank. Is there A filter setting I can change or what can be done so I can operate on this firefox as I did before the update? Example it happened when I tried to book a flight on united.com and place an order on puritan.com

    Alco, that was ''sort of'' helpful.
    I changed the default value to 2, and that at least made a download appear in the download window. However, if I close the window and reopen it, it's blank again. And it won't show more than one download going at once. AND I can't pause or cancel downloads.
    I really don't want to reset Firefox, but I suppose I will if I have to.

  • On/off Button and brightness buttons don't work in the Apple Cinema Display

    I write you because I bought a new apple cinema display 20" a month ago and I have problems with the on and off button and the brightness buttons. Thew work sometimes. I think that te problem is windows XP but I am not sure. My graphics card is a ATI RADEON X800 GT Gecube 256 Mb DDR2.
    Would yo mind telling me how can repair that? If I need something to repair o it is better to buy the new windows to avoid that problem.

    Thank you very much. I didn't know this driver.
    But the problem was when I was installing this driver, Windows said that it's imcompatible with windows XP.Is this normal? o I need to download a special edition for windows xp.

  • Is there a video chat app that can use the Charge's front facing camera?

    Is there a video chat app that can use the Charge's front facing camera?
    Edit: for video chat between the Charge and a PC. 
    Thanks!

    I tried Tango, Qik, and ooVoo. 
    The only one that can use the Charge's front facing camera AND video chat with a PC is the ooVoo.
    Works perfectly!
    Tango and Qik ad mobile-to-mobile only at this time.
    Thanks!
    P.S.   .... this really makes me wonder why Skype cannot work with the front facing camera if other
    companies can do it on the Froyo?  I guess Skype developers are really lazy(or have no incentive
    to make it work)

  • Video/Audio Chats Don't Work (Screen Sharing as well)

    From the time that I got my mac, I have been able to both audio and video, although not screen sharing. I can live without screen sharing, but it would be nice to have if fixable. Now though, audio and video chats don't work at all. I always get an error message that reads,
    "There was a communication error during your chat.
    Failed to start Video Chat because:
    _________ cancelled the connection."
    I know that my friends aren't canceling the chats, and especially the appleu3test02 bot.
    Any ideas?

  • Hey I was wondering why my front facing camera will not work, on snapchat it doesn't even give me the option to switch to my front camera anymore, when I go to my camera and switch to my front facing one it just stays black I don't understand it I need it

    I'm wondering why when I go to my camera and try to use my front facing camera it will not let me use it the screen just goes black for no reaso. And it will freeze up sometimes when I try, when I'm in snapchat it doesn't even give me the option to switch to my front facing camera anymore

    Please somebody help me    I'm begging you

  • The shutter on my Front Facing Camera won't open.

    It would open when I had it on the rear facing camera, but it freezes when I click to switch.
    And then when I try to open the camera app, the shutter won't open, I'm guessing because it's in front facing mode.
    And even when I Skype, the app freezes if I try to use the front facing camera, so I have to use the rear facing camera for skype (which is annoying)
    I have the latest software update...
    Anyone know how to fix this?!

    Same Problem. Have had the iPod 4G since it first came out and everthing fine till now.
    To: just after installing IOS 5.0
    The camera(s) shutter will be closed for a while, unable to be used.
    Also, camera(s) will no longer switch between modes (shoting regular pic vs. shoting self)
    As others have mentioned, I also did the common things to try to fix this:
    - I closed the Camera app and restart it
    - I rebooted the iPad Touch 4G
    - I did a hard reset
    None of this helped.
    This happens on ALL the camera apps I have (four or five).
    Which makes me think it's a Bug
    Note: I'm posting this on all threads as I become aware of them.
    Update: A Partial Fix, I did the 'dramatic,' decision of doing a full Reset/Restore (System>General>Reset) and after that the front shutter now works again, so I can take pics of things in the normal way, but one of my camera apps made it clear it gets an ERROR when trying to switch to the self-photo/Facetime mode, so I'm avoiding doing that to the Apple Camera app.
    Since it started for me with a software change, and it got partially fixed with a system Reset I more firmly believe it must be a bug. It looks like a bug. It acts like a bug. It's a bug.
    Apple is a good company and if they get the word I'm sure they will do what's necessary to fix this problem. So keep talking it up on Discussions and send Feedback is all we can do and many of us don't have a Genius Store nearby (plus, it can't be good for business to be returning products because of software issues).
    On the plus side of the camera and new IOS5:
    I found out how to get that cool function to being able to use the camera right away, from the lock screen.
    Very nice. And very, very nice to be able to use the volume button to snap pics.
