    Hi,
    WiFi ?
    Possibly interference from other nearby routers
    Change the Channel you router uses.

  • New 24" imac 2.8ghz built-in camera doesn't work

    the built-in camera doesn't show up in ichat or photo booth. "there is no camera attached to this computer" error in ichat...
    plugging in an external iSight does work.
    i've repaired permissions, rebooted, run fsck,
    tried to run the 10.4.10 combo intel updater but the one available online won't let you install it on this system. it comes with 10.4.10 installed.
    powered down and unplugged everything for 30 seconds, the plugged everything back in and rebooted.
    i've reinstalled the os from the included dvds... "archive and install"
    all software updates are installed, including "iMac Software Update 1.0"
    any other ideas other than send it back?

    i might have a little help for you people. I just had this same problem, and i was very frustrated about it. here is how i fixed it.
    Have you been messing with Quicktime in the last few days/hours? you probably deleted a file that you needed. i found a place tha told me how to put it back, as well as had a download of the file in question. here is the link address --

  • My iMac has only 3 usb ports, but I need four.

      My external hard drive (Timemachine), my keyboard, my power supply backup (APC UPS), and my usb hub are all supposed to be connected directly to the iMac.  How do I do this (short of getting a wireless keyboard)?

    steve359: I've got external powered hub with adequate space.  Problem is that Apple recommends that Timemachine and keyboard both be directly plugged into iMac.  APC recommends that UPS be directly plugged into iMac.  That leaves everything else which goes through the hub.  I need to get a new external HD (my Iomega died).  If anyone knows of a good external HD that allows connection by usb and has an auxilliary usb port so my hub can go through that, it might work.  The Iomega used firewire so it didn't compete for iMac usb ports, but I'd prefer to have a usb HD.
    seventy one: Rechecked.  My iMac has 3 usb ports and two firewire.

  • Why won't my iMac detect my built in camera?

    My computer won't dect my built in camera.  Just wondering why?  It's pretty much brand new, I have updated it recently and was wondering if it could have something to do with that?  It used to work and now it doesn't.  I have tried the disk utility thing.

    Because something is wrong.  However, without more info, we cannot tell what or how to correct it.
    (1) If the iSight Troubleshooting article Carolyn links above does not help (the proper "reset" suggested there often does,) applying the latest Combo Update for the Mac OS you use may correct your trouble.
    For 10.7,x: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1459
    For 10.6.x:  http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399
    Whichever you use, repair permissions immediately before AND after the update.
    If you use a different Mac OS, search here http://support.apple.com/downloads/
    If you cannot find the update you need, post back your Mac OS version and we will give you a specific link.
    (2) If you need to post back, include info for which Mac and Mac OS you use.  (If you like, you can include this info in your User Profile so you do not need to enter into every post you make.)   Also, for this particular problem, please tell us whether you whether you have a Canon Scanner app in your  > System Preferences... > Users & Groups  > Login Items.

  • My iMac has FaceTime v 3.0 but app store offers 1.0.5

    Facetime on my computer is Version 3.0 (1638)  and on the Mac App store its v1.0.5 …
    When I try to update FaceTime it says "FaceTime can’t be installed on “Macintosh HD” because the version of OS X is too new.". when I try to delete the installed version it says its required by OSX . . not sure what else I can try . . Sometimes it says "If you want to replace it with this version, move the existing app to the trash” but the computer says no when I try! "“FaceTime” can’t be modified or deleted because it’s required by OS X."
    After two months of various attempts to sort out an issue with FaceTime which cannot  connect I still cannot get it to connect , but it does on my laptop. Any suggestions? I am running the latest v of OSX

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
    SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
    from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
    Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try the action that you're having trouble with again. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.

  • Ipad is showing connected to wifi but it is saying its not connected to internet.  I have reset all settings, tried to change IP address and subnet mask and nothing is working.

    My ipad mini 3 is not showing that it is connected to the wifi, but it is saying it is not connected to the internet.  I have reset network settings and then reset all settings and it has not worked.  I have tried to change it to static and change the IP address and the subnet mask and that is not working either.  I have also tried to use the wifi in different places and that doesn't work either.  Please help!!!!  iPad is useless without the internet.

    1. Set router back to Auto DHCP.
    2. Turn off router for 30 seconds and on again.
    3. Re-boot iPad.

  • Why has my built-in camera stopped working? The green light is on, but no picture in photo booth or Skype.

    I have rebooted, but to no avail. The green light stayed on right through the reboot.

    Glad all is sorted. It's very normal for your Mac to get quite warm, especially when used intensly for a long period of time. If the room temperature is very warm, it's well worth switching off or putting it to sleep whenever you can.
    Believe it or not, it gets very warm here in the UK once in a blue moon & when it does, I try to keep the room temperature as cool as I can.
    Best wishes

  • My mac OS X has a built in camera and it says i need to attach a camcorder.

    I have been trying to use photo booth and movie maker and it says that my camcorder is not attached. My computer has a camera built in to it so i don't know what to do. What really confuses me is that it has worked before. And i have used both photo booth and movie maker before. Does anyone know how i could fix this issue

    Hi Das0766.
    You appear to be running Tiger and this is quite the wrong column to pose your questions.   Your system is not intel based.  
    Try posting in Tiger where you are more likely to meet up with people who know about your OS.

  • Imac 5,2 built in camera doesnt work

    the camera and the mic are there, the mic works but i can't get the camera to work

    Hey James,
    Double tap the home button to bring up multi tasking, hold one of the apps until they wriggle then tap the red circles with white lines, do this for all apps, this will clear multi tasking.
    Relaunch the camera app.

  • How come my new iMac has got iMovie, iPhoto, garageband, but no idvd software?

    hi folks,
    new Imac user here. Loving it so far but after spending hours creating a movie on imovies, i come to burn to a dvd and what....no idvd software. Is this right ? My imac is the OS X Lion job.
    If this is correct, fine, but does it mean I now have to fork out for ilife 11 which i keep hearing bad things about ?
    Or is there another route for me to get my movies on dvd.
    I am not totally savvy with system jargon so go easy ha ha !
    cheers folks
    Craig

    and purchases iLife 11 it comes with:

    iDVD
    iWeb
    Interesting enough that seems to be the only way I can find to get iDVD.

  • On iTunes, while I will be putting a previous back up on my new 6, an error message saying '"your phone has been disconnected" will appear, but my phone will still be connected and nothing has been touched

    I need help.  I have tried it with the cord that came with my 6, as well as my iPad mini cord, and no matter what cord i use, it still shows "your phone has been disconnected", and no one is disconnecting the cord.
