Problems with Starcam clip driver not being recognised / working.

Hi
I have recently purchased a starcam clip as my wife kept nicking my web cam to skype her sister.
I installed as per the instructions and it did not work so I de-installed and then went to the MSI web and got the latest driver for XP. This then works ok until i either unplugged the camera or shut down. I then have to re-install each time i want to use the camera >:(. If i have the camera plugged into the same usb as the last install then the computer (Acer travelmate ) shows the camera installed and plugged in but wont actually work unless I re-install . any suggestions?

Hi I have now made some progress. If I run the setup.exe as downloaded from the MSI web site the camera works as I would expect. (colour washout aside - but the thread on the 370i cam has explained this)
(1)The next time I start my computer the camera is recognised but Amcap has the error message of "This graph cannot preview" . The camera is listed in my computer but if I select the camera I get "creation of video preview failed - Check connection and check it is not being used by another application".
I can get the camera to work by running the setup.exe file again but this is a drag.
(2)If I swap to another USB port then I get the "found new hardware" icon and the new hardware wizard starts.
(3)If I start up with the camera unplugged and plug into the port on which the camera was in on the initial installation then I get the same result as (1).
Anyone any suggestions - I do not believe it is a hardware (camera) problem as it does work when initially installed.

Having a problem with the DVD drive not being recognized by the computer

Compaq Presario CQ60-215DX NOTEBOOK PC, WINDOWS VISTA, Error 10 when trying to reinstall the driver, says cannot start.
I went thru the HP troubleshooting and it said to see the mfg of drive to solve problem! I finally bought a new DVD drive P/N498479-001 for replacement . uninstalled the old drive & then reinstalled the new drive , restarted the computer & it still will not recognize the DVD player! Same error code, same problem. The problem started when I tried to play a CD that appeared to be scratched pretty badly, however my desk top played the CD with out problems? When you click on "computer" the drive does not show up!
I did install a new router a couple of days before this happened, but I am using a data cable to it, so that should not be a problem. Any Ideas?

Apple has moved on from Firewire and the current iMacs (and most MBPs) have Thunderbolt, USB3 and USB2.
There are Firewire toThunderbolt adaptors. Here's one. You also want a four pin to nine pin FW cable to run from your camera to the adaptor.

I recently upgraded to iTunes 11.1.5 and now my iPod Nano is not recognized in iTunes. I also upgraded my iPhone 5s to iOS 7.1. i Tunes on my computer does recognize my iPhone. What is the problem with my iPod Nano not being recognized?

I would think, Twins1995, that if we are having the problem, others are as well. Hopefully, Apple will shortly issue a follow-up software release to fix the problem. Or is that just wishful thinking on my part.
It would be helpful, if there were some kind of work-around in the interim, so we can use our devices. Pretty frustrating when you consider that all of the hardware and software is produced by Apple.

Who else has a problem with parental controls enabled not being able to run Firefox on the Mac?

Who else has a problem with parental controls enabled not being able to run Firefox on the Mac? (Any solutions?) (BTW. Chrome doesn't work either)

Although FF4 is so nice I'm almost ready to ditch iGoogle!
Please fix what appears to be an RSS/iGoogle issue with FF4...
Gmail is fine, but titles dont show in most RSS feed gadgets and no stories, strangely, apart from this one:

Hard Drive not being recognised in BIOS - Equium A60

Hi hope someone can help. I have a Toshiba Equium EA60-173 and the hard drive is not being recognised in the BIOS. When I take the hard drive out and put it in another laptop it is detected fine. I have also tried another hard drive in the Toshiba and that doesnt work either. Therefore I suspect the IDE controller has gone, but is there anything I can do to confirm this? I wish there was some option in the BIOS to force a detect. I have successfully updated the BIOS but still the same.
This laptop is only just out of warranty so if it is the controller would I need to replace the motherboard? Are there any other options available to me?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Neil,
Unless there is some physical\problem with the Hdd connector/cable then it is quite likely that you will need a new mainboard for your notebook. I suggest you contact an authorised Servic Partner and ask them to check your notebook and give you an estimate of the costs of the repair. Then you can try to shop around for any cheaper alternatives.
regards,

I have a new hard drive and itunes and my computer (windows XP) no longer recognise my ipod. I also had the problem with the registry keys not being present but this has now been fixed. However i can no longer link my ipod up with itunes.

When I first tried itunes with my new hard drive there was the problem with the registry keys but something also flagged up about needing a signed driver. Is this anything to do with why Itunes and my computer no longer recognises when my ipod is linked up? Whatever i try under 'devices' my ipod is never available to sync up. If anyone can help I would be most grateful.

Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately this has not worked. I didn't have quicktime to begin with so I don't know if that makes a difference? After following the instructions, I get the "registry keys missing" problem appear again (which I've subsequently fixed again) and then when I connected the ipod I got the following message - 'Device driver software was not successfully installed'.
I've tried windows update but this doesn't do anything as '...the service is not running'.
Any suggestions?

Mac air with external hard drive - not being found on Finder, Time Machine, Migration Assistant

I have been using an external drive (Imation Apollo) to access only, old files from previous computer (PC) on a new Mac Air. I had not transferred them across to new computer (didn't want to do that) just accessing them from the HD. It had been working fine until recently. Each time the external drive had been connected Time Machine would come up and ask if i wanted to use this drive for back ups, and I always chose 'Decide later'. So, as yetI hadn't as yet configured Time Machine to do back ups.
Recently I noticed that the extrnal HD was no longer showing up on Finder. Slight panic as i have 5 or 6 yrs of work saved on that HD
Further investigations - it's also not showing up either on on Disk Utility, or on Migration Assistant.
I've done the following:
Tried HD in each of different USB ports - made no difference, HD still not showing up
Tested different Hubs in each port with HD attached - no difference HD not showing up
Tried USB flash drives in the USB ports - These are working fine and show up on finder
Tried the HD on other comptuters (a PC though, don't have access to another mac to do this test)- working fine, the HD is showing up and is accessable
Interrogated the Console logs to try to see if the act of attaching the HD creates a log entry - couldn't find anything
Rebooted computer via shut down, power disconnect - no difference
Reset PRAM - no difference still not showing up
Reset SMC - no differnce still not showing up
So I think I have established that all the USB ports are functioning correctly and able to access other external drive devices, using hubs with external powersource is not the issue, identified that the external hard drive is working OK, and it appears that the Mac itself is functioning normally.
What would be the reason the Mac now does not allow this specific external HD to be identified and accessed. The only possible things I can think of are
if I had in fact pressed 'Do not use' when Time Machine asked 'do you want to use this drive for back ups'. Would that mean that the Mac now totally rejects this HD from being a source of accessible files - I hope not!
I also think that my husband may have disconnected the hard drive from my computer to access some stuff and he just yanked it out rather than use the safe eject method. Could this create an issue? The Hard drive works fine on his PC.
Why is my Mac Air now rejecting this HD and what can I do to access my historical files now.
Any assistance anyone can provide would be very greatly appreciated!
Thanks
Anna

I can't answer why it isn't accessing it, but I have a slightly related issue w my back up drive starting to get noisy.
Realizing that redundancy is safety for critical data. I talked to my brother about my situation the other day & he said he has 3 small Western Digital portable HDs that he rotates for backup. He even keeps 1 in the safe deposit box.
I have read for some time that we should have multiple back ups & also have our critical stuff backed up off site. Amazon HD reviews had a woman telling about how she was very backed up on multiple computers & hard drives, but they were robbed or burgeled & all of them were stolen including her thesis that was on the computers.
Hard drives aren't that expensive. I just bought a new Western Digital 1 TB drive for $89.99. I plan to use it to back up the Seagate that is getting noisy & then maybe alternate them.
Also, when I came back to Mac, I moved practially all of my documents to Mac. I think I just dragged & dropped or something. Photos, Office, & pdfs do fine that way. & then you could back them up to a couple of different external drives & remove from your MacBookAir.
Unfortunately I think most of us do not back up until crisis & then it may be too late.
Also use Time Machine. For the 1st time in my computer life, my computer is well backed up--although now realizing the need for redundancy so will start backing up to at least 2 different HDs alternatly.
So, not sure why it isn't working & hopefully you have come up w a solution by now.
I think what I would do in a situation like this, since you can access it on the Windows machine would be to transfer the data to the Windows machine & then transfer it back to a different back up.
I'm looking into backing up what I still have in Windows using a thumb flash drive. I think it should all fit ok now that they have the larger drives & I don't have very much left in Windows format.

System recovery on Satellite M100 due to CD/DVD drive not being recognised

Hi.
My computer won't recognise the internal CD/DVD drive anymore (eg. if I go to rip a CD with Media Player it says to install a CD drive first).
I have followed the FAQs on the Toshiba support page, and it has lead me to do a System Recovery. I followed the instructions (switch off, start up while holding "0", release 0 when computer beeps ...) but it isn't working.
The comp starts beeping as expected, but when I let go of "0" it just starts up windows as normal.
Can anyone help? Do I need to do the recovery with a CD instead? Obviously that will be a problem if the drive doesn't work though :(

So... after months of trying to fix this issue it would make sense that less than an hour after I've put a post asking for help, the thing would fix itself for no reason.
Yep. Seems to be working now. I have no idea why :/

When is Apple going to fix the problem with external hard drive not working on Lion?

As for everyone else external hard drive does not work with Lion.
When will Apple fix this problem. Do they just ignore the customer : (

Copy off all your data off the NTFS formatted drive to another drive
Open Disk Utility in the Applications>Utilities folder
Select your external NTFS drive on the far left, should have the drive makers name, a ID perhaps plus the word "media"
Click the Partition Tab, click the big box and click 1 Partition
If you want a Mac only drive > Option: GUID >format OS X Extended (Journaled)
If you want a Mac/PC drive (for over 4GB sized files) > Option: MBR > format exFAT
If you want a Mac/PC drive (for the most compatibility with other devices, Win XP, but only under 4GB sized files) > Option: MBR > format MSDOS (FAT or FAT32)
Give it a name and click Apply.
You can also search Microsoft for a free exFAT download if you have Win XP.

Memory Problems with Photoshop CS2 - RAM not being utlized

I am having memory issues with Photoshop CS2. I have a G5 dual 2.5 with 8 GB of RAM. PS CS2 keeps hanging on me when I'm doing fairly routine tasks with a fairly complex low-res .psd file. It includes several nested layers...etc.
I noticed while running activity monitor that Photoshop is utilizing a very small percentage of my system's RAM. Approximately 475 MB of the total 8 GB RAM and 1.07 GB of harddrive space for the scratch disk. This seems odd as there is over 6 GB of free RAM while this is happening.
I've uploaded a screen capture of my activity monitor while Photoshop is hanging. Note that the CPU percentage is above 98%. That's an awful lot of RAM going unused.
http://www.tramad.com/Memory.png
Any idea what's going on here? Could it be a corrupt file or font?

Doesn't completely make sense as I've been using this particular machine for almost two years without any problems working in much more complex and much larger high-res .psd files. I doubt that's what the issue is here. I'm starting to think the file became corrupted...
Hard to believe that Adobe/Apple haven't issued a fix for the RAM issue yet.
I also run routine CRON maintenance using Cocktail and have no other issues with any software....

MOVED: SATA RAID problems with 890GXM-G65 - Driver not accepted by win7 x64

This topic has been moved to Windows 64bit.
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=139814.0

when I attempted installation I have been unplugging the current boot drive. The first screen I am given after selecting the us / english / keyboard stuff and clicking the "install now" is the screen asking for drivers.
I know that windows must be recognizing the raid drives because I could continue installation but only if I use the 32 bit drivers and corresponding os version.
