My integrated webcam doesn't work on new Skype

Hello everyone
A few months ago i refreshed my Skype. On the refreshed version i couldn't use my webcam (USB2.0 uvc vga webcam on ASUS x52f, windows 7). I asked google for solution and i got it: let's install an older version of Skype.
I did so and the problem was solved.
Now that Skype blackmailed me into downloading the newest version (6.18.60.105) the problem is on again. And the solution (installing an older version) is not relevant anymore.
I installed the new K-light codec pack. Still nothing.
I uninstalled and reinstalled my camera and drivers. Still nothing.
So the question is: how to get my integrated camera work on the new and shiny Skype?
Thanks for the answeres!

Please, run the DirectX diagnostics tool.
Go to Windows Start and in the Run box type dxdiag.exe and press the OK button. This will start the DirectX diagnostics program. Run this diagnostics and save the results to a file. Please, attach this file to your post.

SessionManager doesn't work with new xerceimpl.jar?

Hi,
Does anybody know the solution to the problem below?
The toplink sessionmanager, which loads sessions.xml for database session pooling, doesn't work with new xerce parser(xerceimpl.jar). It is tieing to old xerces.jar parser, which has been upgraded to have more functions.
Thank you in advance.
Praveen

Hi Raanan,
It works with old xerces.jar. But in-order to get new functions from new xerces jars from apache, I got xml-apis.jar, xercesImp.jar. They got modified from old ones. So this is breaking toplink sessions.xml load to work.
Did you face this problem?
Thanks
Praveen

W510 Integrated Camera Doesn't Work

I've got a W510 43192NU and upon receiving it I replaced the 32 bit OS with 64 bit Windows 7 Ultimate. I had to go grab the camera driver from their website but initially everything was working ok. I was having issues with my blue USB 3.0 ports, so I tried to upgrade the firmware of the USB 3.0 controller which worked perfectly, except for the minor problem that my integrated camera no longer works.
I contacted support and they were pretty dumbfounded and the only suggestion they had for me was to do a fresh install of Windows. This was probably about 6-7 weeks ago, I hadn't had an opportunity till tonight to try their recommended solution. I decided to take a day off of work and get this camera thing straightened out, as I'm starting to need to do video conferences more frequently.
Lo and behold after doing a full reinstall of the OS, and installing the minimal drivers necesarry, I still have the same problem with the webcam. The driver looks like its installing ok, but doesn't actually run to completion and ask me to restart. My co workers that also have the exact same model don't have any issues with their machines, but they also haven't installed the updated firmware for the USB 3.0 controller.
Has anyone else had this problem and been able to find a resolution? Is anyone aware of any way to downgrade the firmware on my USB 3.0 controller so I can get my webcam back?
Thanx in advance for any help/suggestions.

I have a similar recurring problem; my camera keeps dying. Every program I run sees it fine and says it's working, but I never get anything but a blank screen. I sent the laptop (a W510 as well) in for repairs and they replaced the mobo and that fixed the problem for a while, but now it's happening again. I feel like it must be something I'm doing, but I don't know how that could be if replacing hardware would fix it temporarily.

Video clips doesn't work in new keynote

I recently upgraded keynote after installing os x maverick.
When I opened my previous keynote presentation, the new keynote asked to upgrade the movie quality.
And you have to click this option, otherwise the video clips will only come out as pictures.
But now, some of the video clips doesn't work. The thing is, I do not have the original video files as these are presentations given to me by others.
What's next for me?

Having the same problem, would greatlyu appreciate a fix. does it matter if one upgrades to the iOS or Mac Keynote options?

Safari doesn't work after new Installation of Lion

Hello,
I installed a new SSD into my MBP mid 2009 and put the HDD into the optibay instead of the Superdrive, after that I installed OSX Lion onto the SSD and used the Migration Assisstent to migrate my old User Folder from the HDD with the newly installed OSX Lion. After the migration, everything went well, except of the following:
-Safari doesn't work, no website can be loaded, as soon as I run Safari, there is a process running named "Webprocess" which uses 95% of the CPU and makes the MBP heating.
-VLC Media Player does not work as well
Any idea anyone?
thx
Mohammad

Another problem is:
When I start the Dropbox Application, it uses nearly 90% of the CPU as well, so the mac heats up, in a way that it is not possible to use the dropbox application...
(The Icon of the VLC Media Player only jumps up and down in the dock, and nothing else happens)

MacPro eSata Port/Card doesn't work with new Hard Disk

I just bought 4 x 3TB Hard Disc http://tinyurl.com/d2rglvn (specs of disc)
Which I put in Macally Enclosures to work on my Barracuda internal Hard Drive externally http://tinyurl.com/clg8yjo
I already have like 5 x 1,5 TB that works perfectly well with eSata connections (with exact same enclosures)
**My problem is that my 4 new Hard Discs works really fine with my Mac Pro but only with the USB connections but won't work with the eSata Connection. I tried it on a MacBook Pro with an ATA to eSata adaptor and it works perfectly fine (So my discs are not the problem) **
I am working on a Mac Pro (bought in 2007) - Mac OSX 10,6,8 and this is (I think) the card where I put the eSata :
PCI Card :
pci1095,3132:
Type:    Other Mass Storage Controller
Driver Installed:    Yes
MSI:    No
Bus:    PCI
Slot:    Slot-2

Subsystem ID:    0x3132
Revision ID:    0x0001
Link Width:    x1
Link Speed:    2.5 GT/s
I am kind of new using Mac and its support so what want to know is :
Do I need to update my PCI Card ? If yes how can I do that ?
If not, what can I do to make my disc work ?
My disks are eSata III (6GB/s) is it compatible with my Mac Pro ?
Thank you Very Much for your time

Difference between the disk that works in eSata and those that doesnt is this....
Works : ** 1.5TB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5"
Doesn't Work : **3TB, SATA III (6Gb/s), 3.5", 7200RPM, 64MB
it is probably the problem but i don't know what to do to fix it !

Ethernet card doesn't work with new arch install?

Hi guys,
so this is kinda my first post, not that I'm new to arch i just never had an issue i couldn't figure out on my own... But i love arch i have been using it for about a year now and have had no serious problems except for this. I have had arch running on an older dell vostro 200 desktop before i reinstalled with a vary similar issue except that the fix i came up with doesn't work anymore. I will tell you about the first issue first because i ALMOST posted on here about it originally but i figured out a way to make it work even though it was a hassle.
After cold/rebooting my computer the network card doesn't work at all. lspci reported that the kernel module e1000e was the correct one (i have verified this) and that the kernel has loaded it, i verified that with dmesg but still it wouldn't work. After much much anguish and hairpulling, I realized that it had to have something to do with the module so i tried forcing it to reload with rmmod e1000e and modprobe e1000e and it still wouldn't work until i physically unpluged the ethernet cord and pluged it back in until the light on the NIC turned on. After that everything works as normal i could even unplug and plug it back in with no problems. So eventually i wrote a script that did this for me (except for the uplugging and plugging part) and i used that when i cold/rebooted.
But now i have the exact same issue after reinstalling arch to the T except for the fact that the (crazy) fix i came up with doesn't work now. I used my "fix" after booting from the arch cd and it worked just like it always has. And now after rebooting into my fresh system the fix doesn't work anymore. So now i'm back where i was to begin with but i have no idea what to try next. I didn't do anything particularly different during installation except i added a udev rule for the e1000e module just to see if somehow that would fix the problem... it didnt and i have since deleted that (to see if it was the problem). The only other thing that is different is the root and home are now btrfs partitions instead of ext4.
I have booted several other live cds and dvds (diferent distros) including arch derivatives such as manjaro and they all worked just fine, using the same kernel module (e1000e). I'm not sure what that could mean but i know that it means there is a fix for this some way or another. I am going to hook up a wifi adapter and connect that computer to the internet to put some more information up if it's needed (asked for) but for now lspci -vnn | grep -i -A 10 net reports

Wireless Music doesn't work with new software

Hello-
I can't get my wireless music to work after I update the software to the latest version. The only one that will work is when I install it from the CD. But, I would like to use the most recent version of the software. As soon as I update, the Media Server won't launch on my computer. I am using a linksys WRT54G wireless router. If I check DHCP clients, the wireless music receiver is successfully getting an IP address. I have tried all of the things that linksys suggested (disable WEP, firewall, broadcast SSID, etc...) to no avail. Has anyone gotten the latest media server software to work with WRT54G? I have tried it on both my XP and W2K machine, with the same results (doesn't work).
Thanks,
Rich

Hi Jeremy
I have the similar problem, I've installed the software on my desktop, no error messages (apart from the certificate) and everything seems to be fine. After about 2 minutes the message appears that the network is not ready and consequently the media server is not running.
Without the server running I can't setup the Network and the entire system is not working. I could ping it but that was about it.
I've reset my router, renamed the SSID, tried with and without WEP, MAC, without firewall, opened a new account on my desktop with admin rights installed the software again into a new folder - result still not working, same error message.
To make really bad, I installed it on my laptop, same procedure and it works fine! So it seem that it has nothing to do with my wireless devices or configurations, there must be a problem while setting up the software on my desktop.
I really would appreciate your help a lot!

Cheers

Satellite L300 - webcam doesn't work after BIOS upgrade

I recently upgraded BIOS to 2.2 and the webcam has stopped working. It disappeared and there is one unknown device in the device manager in the universal serial bus controller.
I tried everything even with new clean fresh Vista OS but nothing like there is no webcam I installed the drivers but not recognized so I would like if I can to downgrade BIOS to 1.5 and to fix the webcam. If I can cos I need it. Is that possible?
Tnx

Hi
I dont think its BIOS issue.
First of all the unknown device (webcam) appears in the device manager and this means that an device has been recognized by system and BIOS.
The only reason why its listed as unknown devices is: the driver is not installed properly.
After BIOS update you have to set the BIOS back to default. Access BIOS pressing F2 and within the BIOS you can use the button F9 to set it to default and F10 to save the changes.
After that you should boot up the unit and should go to device manager.
Mark the unknown device and delete it from the list (if possible)
Go to control panel -> software and check the software list for webcam software (from chicony). Uninstall this software if its part of the list.
Now reboot the notebook.
Clean the OS using CCleaner and install the correct webcam software for Vista. Note: please pay attention to 32bit or 64bit version.
If the installation would fail, try the Toshiba recovery disk and set the notebook back to factory settings.
By the way: BIOS downgrade is not possible because the old BIOS is not downloadable.

Satellite P500-127: microphone or sound doesn't work properly using skype

Hi Toshiba team,
Recently bought a new notebook.
However the microphone or sound driver (connexant pebble high definition ) doesn't work properly when using skype. Also read about this matter in various forums such as the skype forum.
People encountered similar problems such as:
We can usually talk for a bit longer than 20 seconds, however the call will drop at a random time between 1 and 15 minutes. The strange part is that sometimes the quality of the call is good, but more than often my friend can only hear *half of what I am saying* while I usually do not have a problem hearing what has been said. The video will work so my friend can see me talking but can simply not really hear what I am saying.
Before the drop the call will usually freeze for a couple of seconds and then skype sometimes crashes. We have tried talking together without the video, however the problem remains.
I also found a suggestion by the toshiba service, just to simply increase the volume under control panel etc, but it doesn't work either..
Can you please help me on this one?
Cannot use skype at all as it just to annoying for everyone I talk to.. Quality is just to poor!!
Many many thanks

Hi
Every day I use Skype with the internal webcam, microphone and speakers but I didnt have any problems as yet.
In your case I would try updating the drivers. Therefore download the latest sound and webcam driver (microphone is a part of webcam). Both you can get here:
http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com > Support & Downloads > Download Drivers
If your friend cant hear you, check also the settings for internal microphone. I have activated microphone boost in Windows sound settings so I could improve the microphone quality.
By the way: Do you use the latest version of Skype? With older Skype version I had also some problems on Windows 7. As far as I know only newest version is fully Windows 7 compatible.

Built in webcam doesn't work on brand new iMac.

I recently got a new, 24 inch iMac. Evverything works good, but i wanted to do video chat today, and i installed all the intsallers for gmail, and my picture didn't come up. And i thought it my be just the internet, so i went to iMovie, and tried to record myself, and it said no camera connected.

I also tried photo booth, and it said the same thing, no camera connected. I know its on there, i for fact can see it. And also the mic works. Help plz!

Hello cundiff11
I have three comments to offer you:
(1) Dennis (User den.thed ) has the right answer for you.
If your iSight does not show up as a USB device in your Mac's System Profiler after trying all the relevant suggestions in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2090 , you have a hardware problem that will require repair or replacement.
(2) For the benefit of new users who might be reading Carolyn's post above, I offer the following info regarding these quotes:

... Not sure if iMovie supports iSight ...
Your built-in iSight works with iMovie HD 6 or later. Click here for more info.
Carolyn Samit wrote:
... You have to launch iChat to use the iSight build in web cam.
Many other apps can use your iSight, too. Click here for more info.

Dvi to hdmi works doesn't work with new tv

I have been searching constantly for several days, and I have not been able to find a solution.
I have been using a 32" Vizio HDTV as a monitor for my 2008 macbook pro via DVI to HDMI for over a year now. Recently, we purchased a new 39" Sanyo HDTV for out living room, and the screen continuasly flashes blue when I try to connect my laptop to the tv. I have also tested my computer on a 42" Sony TV, and it also works fine on that TV.
I am also able to run windows through bootcamp on every TV mentioned above except the Sanyo TV lags a lot in windows. Why can't I get my laptop to display properly on the Sanyo TV, (blue flashing in OSX and lagging in Windows 7)?
Should I try buying a DVI to Component/Composite cable? The Sanyo doesn't have a VGA port, but should I also try going from DVI to VGA to Component? The TV has no option for "game mode" or "image processing". I am lost of what to do.

I found an answer that helped me get my MBP talking to my Philips 42" Plasma TV on this discussion thread:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3196192?start=210&tstart=0
Here is what I did (in a Terminal window):

27' Imac version 10.8.2 webcam doesn't work on any softwares: photo booth, skype, ichat...!

I got the new imac 27 inch 3.2 GHZ last week, the version is 10.8.2. I tried to use photo booth, skype and other softwares for webcam, but none of them work. They just turned black and stopped there. How can I do to test it or it's obviously broken?
Thank you!

If you have not already done so, shut down Mac, restart, and try again. If the iSight still does not work, try all relevant suggestions from Apple's http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2090
(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.)
