Satellite R630-14J - after Skype update web cam has disappeared

Update to Skype 6.6. the Webcam disappeared. not visible in device Manager. multiple Downloads of web cam Drivers don't execute. checked bios. Rebooted machine multiple times.
What to do to install web cam Software again?

Hi
To be honest I cannot understand why webcam device disappears from device manager list after skype update.
I mean even if there would be a software problem (compatibility issues), the webcam should be listed in device manager even as an unknown device.
However, by default, certain devices are not shown in the list. To include hidden devices in Device Manager display, click View and select Show Hidden Devices.
However, I assume you are using Win 7 system.
> multiple downloads of webcam drivers don't execute
On Toshiba EU driver page you can find the webcam software.
Maybe new Skype version damage something in registry. Would recommend uninstalling the Skype firstly. Download and install the repair tool like CCleaner. Clean registry and reboot the notebook. Now try to install the webcam software once again. Reboot the unit and check if you can use the webcam using installed webcam too.

    Thank you, Rod!
    While researching frame rate I came across this helpful blog posting: Crazy about Captivate: Lessons Learned: Video and Resolution in Adobe Captivate
    This is the line that caught my attention: "I discovered, after several experiments, that if you publish a course in Captivate as SCALABLE with a video inserted, no matter what the resolution, it makes the video look pixelated."
    When I unclick the "scalable HTML content" button before publishing, the video is fine!
    Big sigh of relief! Now I just need to figure out why audio won't play on one of the slides (it has an accordian widget, if that's relevant) and why I can no longer use Effects (I get the message, "Effect file is not valid")

  • Satellite T130: inbuilt web camera has stopped working

    Hi, I have the same problem of the question bellow, like I have looked around and I was not able to find the answer I need.
    I have a Satellite T130 and, suddenly, the inbuilt web camera has stopped working properly. A blue light is on, but there is no image. What can I do?
    Thank you

    Hi,
    the blue light is beside the web cam, on the top of screen. But this light is on when I try to use the web cam in anywhere, like Skype, Msn or even in programs in the computer that only take a pictue or make a video of you, without ineternet (I do not know the name of this program). But it seems that computer and the programs recognize the web cam, because there is no messages when I turn on the web cam.
    In Skype settings is the same, there is nothing wrong, there is no different message. The only thing is when I try to take picture a message appears: "failed", but the video seems to record normally, although everythng is black.
    Could you understand what I meant?
    Sorry about my english....

  • Satellite R630-14J -How to remove keyboard?

    Hi there
    I have bought a Toshiba Satellite R630-14J, and i would like to remove de keyboard for clean it.
    I have tried to remove the plastic case between the keys, but I have not succeeded.
    Any Ideas would be appreciated.

    >i would like to remove de keyboard for clean it.
    In my opinion its not necessary to remove the keyboard in order to clean it.
    First of all its possible to remove the single keycaps. In case you would not be able to remove dirt, you could remove the keycap firstly. But be careful...
    In your case I would use a cotton wool tip and some drops of alcohol in order to clean the keyboard

  • Satellite R630-14J - AC adaptor make high constant noise

    I don't know if this is maybe normal but I think my charger did not make this noise a few month ago.
    I got my Satellite R630 14J in November 2010.
    Since some weeks my charger beeps (a very high constant noise) when my notebook gets charged or even when the charger is plugged in into the computer.
    Does anyone else has the same issue or know if this is a case for the support of Toshiba?
    Thanks for response
    Nicolas

    It is definitely case for Toshiba service.
    Contact nearest Toshiba service provider and explain the situation.
    They will help you with this and in worst case you will get new AC adapter.

  • Desktop (and other icons) change after Skype updat...

    When I updated Skype to version 7.5 yesterday, some of my desktop and taskbar (also Start Menu) icons immediately disappeared, only to be replaced with standard Windows icons. This involved mostly Microsoft and Adobe programs, including Outlook, Word, Excel, Adobe Reader and Adobe Acrobat, but also Google Earth and QuickTime Player.
    I carried out a Icon cache rebuild, but this did not restore the original icons, resulting instead in standard .exe icons or blank (i.e. white) icons. When I tried to change the icon for these programs, I got messages similar to this one (for Adobe Reader):
    Windows cannot find file %SystemRoot%\Installer{AC76BA86-7AD7-1033-7B44-AC0F074E4100}\SC_Reader.ico.
    Since then I've tried several system restores, and while these have always restored my icons, Skype then no longer works. I've also uninstalled Skype (which was a battle in itself!) and reinstalled the latest version, but the icon problem has returned. The generic icons DO open the programs without problems, but I cannot easily distinguish between the various Microsoft Office applications and Adobe programs.
    As things currently stand, I can have either a working Skype or my desktop (taskbar etc.) icons, but not both. There must be some way around this. I am sure that Windows Installer is in some way involved, but can't undertand how updating or deleting Skype could affect it.

    The issue is still related to the Windows installer.   If you keep Windows up-to-date it should resolve any Windows installer issues with updates that came out after Aug 2014 (unless this a new Windows update issue).  A Windows update at that time create a similar issue due to upgrading the Windows Installer then resolved them in later patches.   The only way to notice the issue was to install any programs that utilized the Windows installer (like Skype).  Some people uninstalled the update but it was a temporary fix (https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2918614).  So either the issue you are having is related to that Windows update or possibly a newer one.
    You can try this in case it helps but it's generally for normal shortcuts.  
    http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/49819-icon-cache-rebuild.html
    If that doesn't help the only way to repair registered shortcuts automatically is to perform a repair install of the applications that are affected (via add/remove programs or programs and features in the control panel).  This will restore the individual package to icon association that broke.  Again these advertised shortcuts are tied to the Windows installer and registry.  When you create a shortcut to the exe of a program (like msword.exe) it won't have this type of problem and will still display the normal shortcut even if you don't perform a repair of the application.  If you still want to repair the issue a repair install would be best.
    The latest version for download from Skype is still 7.5.x.102
    Skype 7.5 (exe version)

  • C7: After Belle-Update Security Code has changed

    Hi,
    after updating to Belle the phone wants me to enter the security code on every start up. But: the code I used with Anna is no longer valid (I am absolutely sure I did  not enter a wrong code) and "12345" does not work either.
    This looks like a bug in Belle because after entering some digits at random the phone tells me "wrong code" but starts working.
    Are there any solutions available?

    Hi,
    I just read on the Belle FAQ website the following posting:
    After the update to Nokia Belle, my phone asks me to enter new security code. I do this and get an error message stating "code error". What should I do?
    Please try again a few times. There are very rare cases in which the phone incorrectly asks for new a security code but does not accept the entered code. In that situation the problem vanishes by entering any code until the phone stops asking for it. After this, the code you had entered before the update works again normally.
    Seems we have to be patient.

  • Home Not Updating After Skype Update

    After trying to update my Skype to the latest version (7.0.85.102), my Skype Home page stops being able to update. It doesn't tell me it's unavailable, it just doesn't update it. It also doesn't show anyone's profile pictures there, which is one way for me to know it's not working.
    I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling with no help. Tried looking up previous solutions to this issue and found the way to test it is by going to https://apps.skype.com/home in Internet Explorer and that just shows a blue loading circle in the middle of the screen and never fully loads. From my understanding, Skype being able to access this page from IE is how it gets its updates now so the fact that IE can't load it means it won't work.
    The next logical step then would be to try compatibility tests with my IE browser to see if it'll load the page then, however after trying that out there's still no results. After that, the next step would be to make sure IE is updated. Now, my system is running Windows 8 Pro and was given out by my university with our laptops using a Volume Liscense, meaning I can't update to Windows 8.1 and so I can't update to IE11. As far as I can tell, my IE10 is as it should be (version: 10.0.9200.17148 ), but yet here I am still facing this issue.
    So far, the only way I've been able to resolve this issue is reverting back to Skype 6.21. I haven't tried other versions, that's just the version I was using before I updated and going back to it causes no issues with the Skype Home. I'd really like to be able to update Skype though, especially with the new look it has, so if there's any way to fix this that someone knows of it'd be very helpful to me and everyone else having this issue or will have this issue.
    Thanks!

    Try this:
    Reset all Internet Explorer settings:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/923737
    Open Internet Explorer. Go to Tools -> Internet Options -> Connections -> LAN settings. Make sure that the only option selected is “Automatically detect settings”.
    Clear all Temporary Internet Files.
    Open Internet Explorer -> Tools -> Internet Options -> General. In the section “Browsing history” press the “Settings” button and in the next window the “View files” button. Delete all files from the Temporary Internet Files folder.

  • Built in web cam has stopped working - Satellite A200

    The built in webcam on my Satellite A200 stopped working yesterday and I dont know why. I have not installed any new software recently but it is not recognized when I use Skype or any other program. When trying to use the camera, an error tells me no camera is recognized or it is switched off.
    I have uninstalled the driver and reinstalled several times but it has not helped.
    Please, does anybody have any ideas? (OS Vista).

    Hi
    Sorry but it is not easy to say what is wrong there. I recommend you to roll back OS to earlier time using system restore tool. I am pretty sure you will be able to use cam again.
    I have cam on P200 and use it with Skype without any problems. I really hopr you will be able to solve this.
    Good luck!
