No camera available error.

No camera available when launching FaceTime app. Tried the "sudo killall VDCAssistant" and it is still broken. Any tips on what's wrong?

See answer in Re: My MacBook air camera is not working after I installed OS X 10.9.4, any thoughts on that?

"No Camera available" error message when trying to FaceTime or Skype on my MacBook Pro

I have a 15" early 2008 MacBook Pro (2.5 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo), 4 Gigs RAM with a built in camera (In Sight) that stopped working over a year ago when I had Mavericks installed. I had hoped that installing OS X Yosemite would solve the problem but it has not.
I suspect it's a matter of missing drivers as opposed to a broken camera.
I would appreciate any bright ideas the community can provide.

No camera available on macbook pro (early 2008)

I noticed today that when I tried to use my isight camera that it comes up as "no camera available" I have never had this issue happen or show up before.
So far I have reproduced the error on a different account
tried resetting smc
reset pram
booted in repair mode and ran a disk repair
none of those options have changed the issue

See if the issue is application-specific.
It is not

Find out if the computer recognizes the iSight
This is what it shows

HT203585 No Camera Available

Since my last upgrade, every time I try to use FaceTime on my mid-2013 MacBook Air 11", it tells me that there is "no camera available". The camera always worked perfectly well before. The camera also doesn't work with PhotoBooth or anything else anymore.
Does anyone have an idea of how to get the camera working again? Seems like it started after upgrading to Yosemite.
TIA

if you have already tried all other relevant suggestions from Apple's How to Troubleshoot iSight, that error report is usually an indication of hardware failure.
(Over time, 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.)
There are no user serviceable parts of the camera. Unless you have a current backup, make one now. Then use the final "Troubleshooting" suggestion: "... contact Apple or an Apple-Authorized Service Provider for service."

Assuming there is no hardware problem try reinstalling Yosemite. If this does not work then take it back to the Apple Store.

When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility and press the Continue button. After Disk Utility loads select the Macintosh HD entry from the the left side list. Click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If Disk Utility reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit Disk Utility and return to the main menu.

We have created a web service in ABAP and want to test it in soamanager.
When trying to test it using the "Open Web Service navigator for selected binding" link in web service administration page we get the error page--

Can anyone please help.

Hi,
Detail: Cannot reach external Application Server on localhost:51000
51000 is the port when the j2ee engine runs. As you dont have java stack am afraid this would not work.

Copying to TC drive results in "network name is no longer available" error

Hi --
We have a Western Digital MyBook hooked up to Time Capsule and are using it as shared storage. I can view the drive and copy down files with no problem. However, I am now having trouble copying large files (e.g. videos) to that connected drive. Small files are not a problem, but anything over a few hundred MB produces a "network name is no longer available" error on XP.
Note that copying files FROM the TC-connected drive to a local drive is no problem, even for large ones -- a 600MB file takes about 2 minutes over wireless. But if I try to copy that same file BACK to the TC drive, I get the error.
One strange thing I noticed is that when copying FROM the TC-connected drive, right away I get the usual dialog box showing copying progress. But when copying TO the TC-connected drive, the dialog only shows up after about 30 seconds. And the actual progress bar never moves -- it just spins for about 30 more seconds and then shows e.g. "Cannot copy Wonderboys: The specified network name is no longer available"
Any suggestions on how to debug this further?

System Landscape directory not available error,

I am still a beginner, and I am having some slight trouble understanding, what tools would be needed, and how to install. I am using the forums.
We have the MII Discovery Server up and running.
NWDS Server installation is done.
We have the MII track ready to be used for Development(SLD URL is available) , Userid and password available
I am working on installing the NWDS 7.3 Developer Workspace.
Would I also need to do NWDS Server install on my laptop?
Would these steps be sufficient?
1. Download and install JDK 1.6
2. Copy the file nwds-extsoa-7.3-SP00-PAT0000-win32.zip from:
<your download location>\51039309\DATA_UNITS\JAVA_IDE\distros\com.sap.netweaver.developerstudio.distribution.complete.extsoa\8.30.0.101020102100
to a convenient folder.
3. Extract the content and you will have a folder with name eclipse.
4. Launch the Netweaver Developer Studio from folder eclipse, you may want to create a shortcut on the Desktop.
5. If you haven't maintained JAVA_HOME property or if it's pointing to some other java version, eclipse will complain about it. In the dialog window locate the JDK 1.6 installation. Path to JDK 1.6 should be something like
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_25\bin
6. Restart the NWDS after this and select a suitable workspace.
7. Set the run time engine in NWDS, by going through the menu path:
Window->Preferences->SAP AS JAVA
Question:
1. I am unable to Set the run time engine in NWDS, please could you give me details steps with what I would need to enter for Instance Hostname and Instance Number...etc
2. As part of Development installation do I have to Modifying the Logon Page? Do I have to go thru the Server installation in order to start developing on eclipse environment?
I do not have the war file. How do i Copy the war file tcsecumelogonui.war from
<Installation drive>:\usr\sap\<SID>\J00\j2ee\cluster\apps\sap.com\com.sap.security.core.logon\servlet_jsp\logon_ui_resources\tcsecumelogonui.war
3. System Landscape directory not available error,
In the Component Browser when I right click and select New u2013 Development Configuration u2013 Import From System Landscape Directory (SLD) u2013 Next (Enter UserID and Password)

Bluetooth not available error

I got a early 2008 MAC PRO with additional wireless keyboard and mighty mouse few weeks ago.
Recently I keep encountering the "bluetooth not available" problem after software update (system reboot) if I have USB devices attached to the MAC PRO. Also, if I connect the Logitech quickcam ultravision directly to the MAC PRO, the bluetooth will have "not available" error after system reboot. If I connect the quickcam to the USB HUB, the problem won't happen.
This error happened again when I install the new Safari update while I have the keyspan USB-to-Serial connected to the MAC PRO.
I have all the latest updates installed in my MAC PRO. I don't know what happened, but I hope this problem can be fixed so that I don't have to keep unplugged all my USB equipment if I need to reboot my MAC PRO.

Hi there,
I just had the exact same thing happen! I had my usb 2 flash stick and MyBook 320HD only. I then noticed that the MyBook wouldn't sleep even though the Mac was shut down. I had to force shut off the drive by removing the power lead. I restarted the Mac with no usb whatsoever and voila! All is now ok.. I wonder if this is connected with the motherboard power management??

"Youtube not available" error on my video

I uploaded a video last night to YouTube. I can access it from the YouTube app on my phone only if I am signed in and go to "My Videos". But if I try to open it using a link to the video, I get a "Youtube not available" error. I've gotten 3 other people with iPhones to try it, with the same result. I made sure the option to play on mobile devices was checked within the video settings. What else can I do? I have no idea why this isn't working.

What else can I do?
Don't use Youtube.
It is Youtube not iPhone.
Youtube is very buggy (The most famous bug is the inability to post a text comment).
These work better.

Stereo Not Available Error !

Hello all,
I used to get stereo to work with shutter glasses on my
WinNT machine. But, today I installed a newer version of
Java and Java3D and stereo stopped working. It gives
me "Stereo not available" error. I tested my shutter
glasses with another example (not Java3D) and they are fine.
Java version: SE v1.4.1_02
Java3D version: 1.3.1-beta (OpenGL) SDK
Please tell me if anybody had the same problem and if it is
because of the java versions. If not do you have any suggestions?
By the way I am trying to run the example program under
demo\java3d\PureImmediate\PureImmediate.java
Thank you,
Tina

hum, it is perhaps because you installed a beta version of java3d... By definition, you can't expect a beta version to work fine.
