New to IChat & webcam is not always recognized

Hi. I have an ichat and AIM account and just got an Ezonics mac-compatible webcam. On either account, it almost always will not recognize that the camera is plugged in. Its okay with an audio chat, but not a video. My image appears in the monitor, the camera is working and listed in the USB plug-ins. It has worked once, only when someone requested a videochat with me. Everything is downloaded as well. Any ideas out there about this? Is firewall or netbarrier the cause of this do you think?
Thanks for your help!

  • Ipod is not always recognized

    Nano is not always recognized by computer and only recognized by itunes immediately after connecting (the device icon on the right goes away seconds after connection).  Any helps?

    I had this problem when I first got mine...but sorry, I don't remember what I did to fix it.
    I might of done something like go to start icon, then computer, then devices with removable storage, then did something from there. Try googling it and see if someone else had the same/simular problem.
    Sorry!

  • BD-re not always recognized in PS3

    I find about every third time I burn a project onto TDK BD-re media with Encore using the Pioneer 202 burner the disc will not be recognized by the PS3.
    However I can then burn data on the same disc with Nero 8. This will be recognized by the PS3. When I reburn the project in Encore on this same disc, it will usually work.
    I have had to go through this process multiple times. Is there a bug in Encore where it does not always properly erase a BD-re?

    No no no.... Disable the power management options using the Windows device manager.  Big difference

  • Airport Utility not always recognizing Airport Extreme

    I recently bought a new Airport Extreme so I could connect wirelessly to my iTunes library (which is too big to fit on my hard drive) and stream music to my receiver. I hooked up a USB external drive with my library on it to the Airport Extreme and I'm using my old (pre-2005) Airport Express in client mode to stream music to my receiver..
    The problem is my MacBook can't consistenly connect to the network. I'll get a "connection failed" message when I click on AirPort Extreme under "Shared" in my finder window and when I run Airport Utility, it will say "AirPort Utility was unable to find any AirPort wireless devices." Restarting solves the problems sometimes, but not all the time. It seems kind of random but it's very common.
    Does anybody have any hints that might help my MacBook consistenly connect to the network? It's really annoying, especially when I start up iTunes to listen to music and it gives me that "the song cannot be found" error message.
    I realize the problem might be my old Airport Express, but I'd rather not spend the $99 for a new Airport Express if I'm not absolutely sure that's the problem.
    Thanks!

    Airport utility has long had a "bug" where it randomly doesn't see a base station or remote. Sometimes refreshing brings it back, sometimes just letting Airport Utility (AU) sit for a while brings it back.
    The only way I know for a fact to bring it back is to unplug the station, wait ten seconds, plug it back in, wait until you get a green light, then launch AU.
    Also, make sure you have the latest version of AU, and the latest firmware update for the base station (both of which appeared yesterday).
    Good luck,
    Matt

  • Changes Made in PS5 not Always Recognized in LR3

    I use LR 3.0, PS5 on a Mac Pro 2.66 16GB Ram running OS X10.6.4
    Lately I noticed that when I process an image from LR using Photoshop, sometimes when I close and save and go back to LR, some of the changes I applied to the PSD file are not showing in LR. But if I export the file the changes are there. Or if I open the file again and choose "Edit a copy with LR adjustments" the changes are there and if I save that second copy, the changes show even in LR. It is as if LR fails to update the image preview after I work on the file in PS.
    Please note:
    • I have been editing files from LR to PS for years now. It is anormal part of my worflow and I naver had such problem.
    • This strange beahvior does not happen with every file.
    • My file naming is very consistent and does not include spaces or strange characters. An example of my file names is: "20100723_egg_001.CR2"
    I was able to recreate the problem by doing the following:
    I imported a file from Canon 1Ds MKIII
    - applied basic LR settings
    - open in PS5 from LR (command -E)
    - it opens in a 16bit PSD file in Profoto RGB
    - I applied curves adjustment layer
    - I applied hue/saturation adjustment layer
    - I hit save (command-S) and watched the thumbnail get updated in LR. So far so good.
    - Then I changed the mask in the Hue/Saturation layer to black (to undo the effect)
    - Hit save again. No update happening in LR.
    - Created a new layer and painted a blue line across.
    - Hit save again. No update happening in LR.
    - Close the file in PS.
    - Thumbnail in LR is stuck to the look in the first save I did.
    BUT
    - If I open the file from LR to PS5 again, the changes and layers are all there.
    OR
    - If I export the file, it exports correctly with the latest updates and changes I did in PS5.
    Does anybody know what might be going wrong?
    Thank you,
    Francesco Tonelli

    FYI I did clear the cache and did not solve the problem.
    The ACR cache, which you can clear from the preferences in Lightroom is not the same cache that Dorin is talking about. He is talking about the previews that are stored in a filefolder right along your catalog file. If you delete that, Lightroom will be forced to rebuild previews for all your images.
    However, I noticed that you were using psd. There have been some reports of strange behavior in LR 3 with psd files. I would try setting the preference in Lightroom for external edit in photoshop to tiff (the default now). This gives you better compatibility anyway.

  • Satellite L670-1JP external HDD not always recognized on start-up

    I bought a Samsung G3 external HD. The first time i plugged it in, it was directly recognized by my Toshiba Satellite L670-1JP and worked with no problems.
    But later, almost everytime I start up my computer, he does not find the external HD. I then have to unplug en replug the USB connection several times to make it work.
    This is rather time consuming, so how can I solve this problem ?

    Hi
    Do other USB devices work properly in connection with the Satellite L notebook?
    Did you test this external HDD with other computers/notebooks?
    I think you should do this because it could be a external HDD malfunction.
    Check this!

  • HT203242 New Apple External Disc Burner not being recognized

    Have an old Apple 2006 Intel Imac.  Burner no longer works and purchased an Apple External Burner.  The system is not recognizing the burner it still wants to recognize the internal burner that doesn't work.

    I suspect it is the adapter throwing a wrench in the works.  Why not get an IDE drive instead?

  • IPod not always Recognized?!?

    1 time in 5 (or so) my MacBook does not recognize that I have plugged my iPod Classic into it. I would not be concerned about this since I merely try it again and it has always worked. However, when I do unplug on those occasions I get an omonuous sounding error message reminding me to eject my iPod before unplugging it.
    How can I eject it if it has not shown up in iTunes!!!!!????!!!
    Could this really be a non-issue or is there something that needs to be fixed?
    Thanks for any help.

    It seems that even your iPod is not showing up on your desktop nor iTunes, but it actually does - thats why the warning window pop up, have a read of the following, not too sure but you may need to reinstall your iTunes, of course, faulty cable may be one of the reason

  • New client roles and profiles not being recognized in CUA

    We recently did a client copy and I am trying to add roles and/or profiles to users, but CUA does not recognize either. When I choose "Text comparison from child sys." I get an error message for that new client that says, "User has not RFC authoriation for function group SUU6."  Any assistance you can provide would be appreciated.

    Better assign SAP_ALL and SAP_NEW or any other role containing highest authorizations to the communication id
    No, it's not better. It's a bad practice assigning SAP_ALL to communication users. It's a violation of Principle of Least Privilege. You should also use SAP_NEW just for limited period of time. SAP provides a role for this purpose. It's mentioned in CUA cookbook. There is a recent post from Julius on this forum about removing SAP_ALL from the system. It has some info why SAP_ALL and SAP_NEW are not supposed to used.

  • 2nd G5 drive not always recognized

    I have a G5 with two internal SATA drives. It worked flawlessly, until I had the mother board replaced. Now, about 1/3 of the time, the second drive is not recognized. This is fixed by re-booting, but I would like to avoid that problem.
    Any ideas?
    Using Smart Reporter, both disks are verified. My boot disk is now located in the upper bay and the other drive in the lower "B" bay (don't know where they were before the repair).

    Doesn't seem to be, although intermittent problems are hard to solve.
    I switched bays and it has not happened again in, oh, about 15 boots. Maybe a plug was not seated properly.

  • Mouse click not always recognized

    Adobe is slow to recognize my mouse clicks when selecting items. For example I will have selected 1.jpg, then get ready to work on 2.jpg, but I will have to click three to four times before 2.jpg will show in my properties window. Although I can see it is selected in the main window, any work I will do gets applied to 1.jpg. I do not have this issue with any other adobe products.

  • New 3rd Gen. 4 GB iPod Shuffle not being recognized by computer or iTunes

    Hey everyone, I've read some of the other posts here on this thread about other people having problem getting their computer to recognize the new 4 GB iPod Shuffle when plugged into the USB drive, and it seems like I am having a very similar issue. I just received my iPod in the mail a few days ago and tried plugging it into the USB and got NO response whatsoever from my computer or iTunes. I am operating with Windows XP (Service Pack 3) on a Dell Inspiron Intel processor, 2 GHz with 3 GB RAM, with iTunes 8.1 (just updated). When I put something in my USB usually I hear a noise (sounds like DO-do ha) which tells me that my laptop recognizes whatever is plugged in, and usually I get a little box in the bottom right hand part of the screen that says it's been plugged in. I didn't get any of this when I plugged it in.
    When I first opened the box I turned the shuffle on and the light went green for 1 second, orange for 1 second, red for one second, then dead..I suppose this is expected since I figured it's new and needs to be charged, so I turned the shuffle off, plugged the USB into the earphone socket then into my USB, and then turned the shuffle on, and got nothing but the same sequence of lights. It's one thing if iTunes just didn't recognize the shuffle, but I checked the Device Manager and My Computer and the USB drive wasn't even listing the shuffle as being plugged in..maybe the USB cable that came with it is faulty?? I read all of the technical troubleshooting notes on here and tried the 5 R's and nothing is working at all..
    I do have one guess about this though..I also have an 80 GB iPod 5th generation that I've used for over a year now for my car and that plugs into the USB fine with its respective cable and is recognized by iTunes..my question is, can my iTunes only recognize one iPod at a time? Does it reject the shuffle because iTunes is only allowed to sync to one iPod per account? If this is true, is there a way around this so it can sync both, or can I have two iTunes accounts on the same computer? But why does the computer not even recognized it when plugged in? Hopefully it is just the cable that is damaged and not the device..wow this was long, but any advice would be greatly appreciated, thank you!

    The "Roman" font is not being recognized in Firefox 4.0. As such, I cannot read any previously posted topics or post any new topics on websites using this font.

    I have had a similar problem with my system. I just recently (within a week of this post) built a brand new desktop. I installed Windows 7 64-bit Home and had a clean install, no problems. Using IE downloaded an anti-virus program, and then, because it was the latest version, downloaded and installed Firefox 4.0. As I began to search the internet for other programs to install after about maybe 10-15 minutes my computer crashes. Blank screen (yet monitor was still receiving a signal from computer) and completely frozen (couldn't even change the caps and num lock on keyboard). I thought I perhaps forgot to reboot after an update so I did a manual reboot and it started up fine.
    When ever I got on the internet (still using firefox) it would crash after anywhere between 5-15 minutes. Since I've had good experience with FF in the past I thought it must be either the drivers or a hardware problem. So in-between crashes I updated all the drivers. Still had the same problem. Took the computer to a friend who knows more about computers than I do, made sure all the drivers were updated, same problem. We thought that it might be a hardware problem (bad video card, chipset, overheating issues, etc.), but after my friend played around with my computer for a day he found that when he didn't start FF at all it worked fine, even after watching a movie, or going through a playlist on Youtube.
    At the time of this posting I'm going to try to uninstall FF 4.0 and download and install FF 3.6.16 which is currently on my laptop and works like a dream. Hopefully that will do the trick, because I love using FF and would hate to have to switch to another browser. Hopefully Mozilla will work out the kinks with FF 4 so I can continue to use it.
    I apologize for the lengthy post. Any feedback would be appreciated, but is not necessary. I will try and post back after I try FF 3.16.6.

  • Why does New Report.vi not always minimize the document?

    I’m using Report Generation Toolkit for Microsoft Office to generate documents based on bookmarks in a template document. It works very well and I’m pleased with it. However, it usually (not always) opens up the template document and displays it while inserting the data in the various bookmarks. The process really slows down when this happens. The document is to automatically print to the default printer when the print button is clicked without opening up.
    I’m using the New Report.vi with Window State set to Minimized, Report Type to Word and the template document’s path and file name sent to Template. All other settings are default.
    After the bookmarks are inserted I use the Print Report, Dispose Report and Simple Error Handler vi’s. There are no errors displayed.
    OS: XP-Pro
    LV: v.7.1
    Report Generation Toolkit: v.1.0.1
    Word: Office 2003 (Office 2003 was installed before installing the Report Generation Toolkit.)
    Thanks,

    Attached is a sample of the printing vi along with a subvi for support. Also attached is a sample template. This vi is a much simplified version of what I'm using. However, it also opens up the Word template. It opens and closes very quickly, but it should not open at all. In my final program, it really chokes up when the template opens.
    I hope you can find something about it.
    It's not clear to me what is meant by "WindowState input of no change."
    Thanks,
    Dave J.

    Resolved!
    After contacting Apple, I received a reply from their engineers:
    Copy QTMovieWin.dll from:  C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
    to: C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes
    And that did the trick.
