S230U Twist - Camera no longer works after Win 8.1

Hello all!
I've scoured the forums and tried EVERYTHING but I still cannot find a solution to my problem:
After I upgrade from Win 8 to Win8.1, my camera no longer works. It shows a gray screen with a camera and a diagonal line across it but the green camera light shows up; I also get a shutter sound when take a picture but the image is only of the aforementioned gray camera screen. I can't use the camera for video in skype or any other video chat function.
My Integrated Camera driver version is 3.4.7.26 (SunplusIT) dated 3/15/2013. I tried to upgrade but it seems to be the latest one.
I've also checked that the Lock Screen setting is set to ON for "Swipe down on lock screen to use camera".
SOMEONE, please HELP!

Hi,
Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
I'm really sorry to hear that when you try to use webcam in your Lenovo S230U Twist, you are getting a crossed camera image.
Check if your camera is in normal or private mode. This could be happening because you might have set your camera in private mode.
Go into Lenovo Settings App and select camera.
There will be the options of Private and Normal.
Select Normal.
Also, in Settings > Permissions, make sure that Skype and other similar apps have permission to access the Webcam or Microphone.
Hope this helps!
Best regards,
Mithun.

Camera no longer works after 6.0.1

My camera no longer works after an update to 6.0.1 on iPhone 5. It now will make the noise and animation, but the camera app freezes and won't take the picture. Any luck for anyone else?
EDIT: Scratch that, turning my phone off and then back on seems to have fixed the issue.

The same powers-that-be fixed the problem for me. It's even more mysterious, since I know I did not restart the computer. I was just surfing along, laboriously using the browser's navigation buttons, when out of habit I pressed the button on the mouse and it worked. It's been working ever since.
Since I notice that 23 other people have this problem (so far), there's clearly something that needs looking at even if the problem somehow corrects itself.

BlackBerry Classic front camera no longer works after update

The front camera on my BlackBerry Classic no longer works after the 10.3 update. The BBM video chat does not work either - error message, another application is using the camera. I tried rebooting and a factory reset and the problem still persists. Please help.

Hi,
the Classic was shipped already with 10.3
What 10.3 version do you mean exactly?

Import form cam no longer works after Update to iLife 09

Hi, I've updated to iLife 09 and installed the most recent patches. With iLife 08 my Fujifilm Finepix F30 was recognized by my mac book pro, iPhoto starded up an the contet of the cam was presented for import as soon as I connected it by USB. With iLife 09 all this no longer works. iPhote is fired up but nothing else happens but that iPhote freezes so the only thin I an do is to kill it ... now it's more or less useless for me
Please help !
TIA

Start with the troubleshooting basics:
1. Delete the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
2. Repair Permissions using Disk Utility
3. Create a new account (systempreferences -> accounts) and see if the problem is repeated there. If it is, then a re-install of the app might be indicated. If it's not, then it's likely the app is okay and the problem is something in the main account.

Iphone 4 S Camera no longer works after upgrade IOS 7

Recently upgraded to IOS 7 and my camera does not work properly anymore.
Any hint?

Let's see. close out of the built in camera app, double tap the home button and completely close out of it.
Then do a reset, no data loss. Hold down the home/sleep button together until you see the apple logo and then release, then wait for the phone to boot back up.
One of my co-workers said she can't use the purchase camera app also, she just update to 7.0.2 iphone 4S.
So the issue might be with the app.

OfficeJet 4315 no longer works after Win 7 and Office 2010 service packs applied

I've used OfficeJet 4315 on a Toshiba Satellite with WinXP (SP3) and Office 2003 and been delighted with the printer. I recently migrated to a brand-new Acer Aspire with Win 7 and Office 2010 (home & student ed.) At first, the 4315 worked well--in fact, all I had to do was plug in the USB connection and the in-OS drivers installed automatically. However, something has now caused the printer too be essentially useless! I think it happened after I applied SP1 to Win 7 and/or the service pack to Office 2010. I can no longer print Word files (.doc or .docx), Excel spread sheets (.xls or .xlsx), PDFs, Web pages, or even e-mails, The only things I can print are .txt files or equivalent and .jpg files or equivalent. I've tried deleting and reinstalling the printer (including deleting the drivers and reloading them from Windows Update). I don't believe I should have to replace a perfectly good printer just to support Windows 7 and Office 2010. I NEED HELP URGENTLY with this problem! If anyone has any knowledge or ideas, I'd be forever in your debt. (HP, I'd even pay to get the help I need on this one!!) TIA.

Hi,
Based on your description, my understanding is that the PDF files cannot be checked out to local drafts folder after Office 2013 is installed.
Did this issue occur with Office files?
I recommend to check if the Office files can be checked out to local drafts folder with Office 2013.
And it is recommended to use Office 2010 with SharePoint 2010 for best practice.
Thanks,
Victoria

Built-in cam no longer works after installing snow leapord

Since I upgraded to Snow Leopard on my MBP, my built in cam is no longer recognized by the system. It's not application specific as I've tried several apps and I've looked at the System Profiler app and it's not listed in there.
I've tried several potential fixes and none have worked. I've tried the SMU thing, the PCU thing, the Permissions fix, and have updated my OS.
What can I do?

mmh! Have you actually phoned Apple or is there an Apple store near where you live?
That would be the only thing, I could think of.
And have you tried starting the machine in safe mode at all and see if that makes a difference? If so, it must be a piece of software (have you looked at QT X, as this, with a standard install, would remove QT 7.x as this is only available as "optional" install, and will then appear under applications/utilities).

Fingerprint scanner no longer works after Win 8 upgrade

HP Pavilion DV6T
Product Number: WW142AV
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 8 (64-bit)
I upgraded to WIN8 pro from Windows 7 home premium a few days ago. Now my Fingerprint reader no longer lights up or scans my fingerprint. I checked the driver in device manager and it says that the driver is up to date and that the hardware is working properly. I also downloaded the most recent update of Simplepass software for Win8 but it does not help.
This question was solved.

Nevermind, I found a good solution from user KingsRook14 on a microsoft answer forum. This worked for me!

Why does my camera no longer work after ios7 upgrade?

I've had my iphone 4s for 1 year and LOVED it until I upgraded to the ios7 last week. Now, my formerly beautiful camera (which was the only camera that I took with me to Europe last year - by holding the shuttter button down until I could capture a perfectly still photo, I took the most amazing pictures) mostly takes blurry photos. If the subject moves, forget it - it's all a blur. I hate it now. Not only that, I used to be able to access my university Moodle site with my phone - since the upgrade, I can no longer log in. Brutal. Thanks alot, Apple!

Okay. The following troublesshooting document is probably worth trying with those symptoms:

HP wireless TV connect no longer working after Win 8.1 "upgrade"

Help, my transmitter will not link to the box now that I have upgraded from Windows 8 to Windows8.1.
When first plugged in, the Trans light blinks 5 times fast, then no lights. The receiver continually blinks slower and when the trans button is held, the lights both blink at the same speed, but will not link.
I removed and tried to "add new video source" but the "Please activate registration on transmitter unit" pops up and when attempting to push button, the two won't sync...
I looked for the HP trans in the devices but could not find it. I check the HDMI card (disabled and enabled) to no avail...
Are there firmware patches for this device. I need help ASAP as I need this functionality for work, but I had to have the upgrade for work as well...
I am getting a "tone" when the receiver fails from the laptop speakers

PROBLEM SOLVED ON ENVY 17 INTEL QUAD: Using Windows 8.1 with HP Wireless TV connect NOT linking issues. I had the total 8.1 installed 4/12/2014 and even at this late a date, not all the wireless drivers were updated to their latest rev. HP Support has a set of Intel driver updates and downloades; just select the ones you need, save and update. With the update to all the associated applications, I believe there were 3 of them for my computer, I am now working well. I am under warranty with my unit so I was fortunate to have, Likshima, a second level supervisor at HP who took the time to research this problem and find the solution, personally correct my issues! Hope this helps because to my comprehension, an update is by far the safest solution!!!

We recently updated to Lion, prior to this update we could plug in our Sony Mini DV camera using the appropriate firewire and the iMovie would recognize the camera. This function no longer works after the update to Lion. Any suggestions?

Zap the PRAM and Reset the SMC, then try again.

After installing OSX Lion, the built-in camera no longer works. Solution?

After installing OS X Lion on a late 2010 MacBookPro, the built-in camera no longer works. Worked beautifully with Snow Leopard. Reset SMU to no avail. Any solutions?

Hi, Thanks for the reply, I really appreciate your help with this.
Yes to both questions: iMovie is in the Applications folder, not in any subfolders. And I have reinstalled iMove from the original disc (before and after the OS reinstall) but can only get up to 7.1.4 without buying a later edition of iLife.
The camera definitely worked under Snow Leopard but not since I upgraded from SL to Mountain Lion.
Found the following on this forum:
If you have iLife '09 or older, there have been no iPhoto 8, iMovie 8 or
Garageband 5 (or older) updates relating to Lion or Mountain Lion. The
support and compatibility situations for those versions is unknown as
Apple hasn't said anything. We can only determine compatibility
anecdotally. If it turns out that there is a problem and Apple doesn't
release an update, your only recourse is to buy the latest version of
the application.
I reinstalled some other iLife apps as well. iDVD went missing after the ML reinstall. When I reinstalled it from the original disc, it wouldn't open and I had to download a manual update to get it working. iWeb previously stopped working after the upgrade to ML (all the menu options were greyed out) but when I reistalled it (together with iMove and iDVD) yesterday, it started working again.
All this seems to point to a compatibilty issue between iLife '08 and ML.

A P Elements 3 no longer works with win 7

A P Elements 3 no longer works with win 7, crashes when I click on preferences and no sound works in editor. So I want to upgrade but not seeing any dates with newer editions. Whats the oldest I can go to work with win 7 64 bit? Like maybe APE 10? Or maybe there is an update to fix 3?

dfishead
I have Premiere Elements 4 through 13 on Windows 7 64 bit, and all are working fine.
You really do not want Premiere Elements 10 on a computer that uses a NVIDIA GeForce video card/graphics card.
And, 13/13.1 does not support Windows XP, Windows Vista, or OSX 10.7.
Do check System Requirement as well as computer resources.
How far are you getting with the Premiere Elements 3 install on Windows 7 64 bit? Depending on the answer to that question, have you been installing the 3.0.2 Update
after the 3 install?
Adobe - Premiere Elements : For Windows : Adobe Premiere Elements 3.0.2 update
Have you right clicked the desktop icon for the program, if you got that far, and selected Run As Administrator?
When you are trying to get Premiere Elements 3 on Windows 7 64 bit, are you at least doing that by ignoring the "not compatible" messages and moving onward through
the installation dialogs as long as it will let you?
Please review and then let us know the outcome.
Thank you.

Video/Camera light not working after upgrade to 975

Hi,
After I upgraded to the latest OS release from Verizon (v5.0.0.975) on my Tour, the light for both my video recorder or camera no longer work. I have done battery pulls and checked the options for each (both set to ON).
I tried searching here first, but didn't find anything. However, a Google search shows posts on other forums about this issue.
I contacted Verizon Support and the person was not able to help. She asked me to go into Options for my video camera and apparently some of the settings have also been removed. So, I asked her to please report this to RIM Support. She mentioned downgrading my OS, which I had already considered. But, since this OS seems stable and I don't use my cameras that much, I'll ride it out for now.
If anyone else is having the same problem, I would encourage you to contact your carriers support and report this. Hopefully RIM will have a fix for this available soon.
Thanks,
RayK
