Hi, ah the green screen issue! from what I remember a few pepe's had this issue with the white iMac c2d.. From memory-Repair Permissions & Reboot. If that fails do the SMC reset thing. A great addition to the iSight App is iGlasses ->http://www.ecamm.com/mac/iglasses/settings.html ....L

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 L300-256 - web cam isn't working - Just show Black Colour.

Hello,
i use Toshiba L300-256 model laptop and my web cam was working before some months and today i opened it and it seems to be stopped working.

So i unistalled the driver and installed it again from the driver file downloaded from here. Then also my problem didnt fixed. It just show dark background in the place where image will come while capturing.
Camera blue light is appearing but there isnt any picture coming, eventhough i am in a bright lighted room.
Please help me to fix this issue.
Thanks

Hi
Do you use face recognition utility?
This software locks and use the webcam too
Maybe there is something wrong between these both tools
In your case I recommend uninstalling the face recognition and webcam software.
Clean the registry using CCLeaner (freeware).
Then reboot twice and start with webcam installation then check if the webcam would works

Satellite A505-S6973 Web Cam won't turn off

I recently signed up for Google Chat with the option to use the Video Chat feature. Ever since I can't get the web cam to turn off, even when I'm not even logged on the Internet! I don't like having the little light shining in my face every time I turn on the computer.
How can I turn off the camera when I'm not using it?

If you can get it to boot up again, I'd suggest doing a restore to out-of-box state to see if you have a hardware issue or software. If after restoring it to out-of-box state you are still experiencing problems, it is likely hardware failure (i.e., cpu, hdd, motherboard, etc.).

My web cam is too dark i cant see myself

dear my webcamp is too dark i don`t know why before its work very good my laptop model Pavilion dv6

Hello,I understand your frustration, but it would really help me to resolve your issue if you could post a screenshot of the problem. (On Windows, this can be done by pressing the "prt sc" button on your keyboard, then by opening MS Paint, and then by pasting the image into the paint file. By pressing the "prt sc" button, you are saving the screenshot to your clipboard.) If you need further assistance, feel free to reply.Cheers,Cam

Satellite L505-13T web cam driver needed

i have lost mother board driver
now badly needed Satellite L505-13T webcam driver.
regards

Hello
Im a little bit confused about your posting... At first you talk about motherboard driver and then you ask for webcam driver
I never heard about mother driver, do you mean the chipset driver?
Anyway, as MasterG already wrote you can download all drivers for your notebook on official Toshiba website. Follow the link posted by previous user.

Sony digital camera as web cam?

I have a [Sony Cyber Shot|http://www.sonystyle.ca/commerce/servlet/ProductDetailDisplay?storeId=1000 1&catalogId=10001&langId=-1&productId=1004881] digital camera, which uses USB2. Can this be used as a web cam? I tried using [macam|http://webcam-osx.sourceforge.net>, but unfortunately it didn't recognize the camera. Is there any other way? Or do I need to buy a mac-compatible web cam?
Thanks,
Domenic

Thanks sig and Roger. According to the specs for the camera, it includes some software for the mac. Something to do with music transfer, which I haven't yet had a chance to check out. Other than that it mentions nothing else. When I hook it up to the computer, iChat doesn't recognize it. When I try using macam, which is suppose to support USB web cams, it too doesn't recognize it. So it looks like I'm probably out of luck. The iUSBCam looks interest...

Satellite S70-A-11H web camera image quality is not good

Hi,
Running windows 8.1 which came with the laptop.
New out of the box.
As per title.
I find the image quality of the camera image to be very grainy, poor color etc.
When I start the web camera using the search bar on the right, it starts using the Microsoft application, when you scroll down to settings all that is available under settings/options is Photo aspect ratio, Grid lines, Location info.
I have been in touch with Toshiba Tech support who advised to do a Laptop refresh, which I did.
This made no difference.
After which they asked me to find the Toshiba web camera application on the laptop, this should have been in the Program Files folder in the Toshiba folder.
This application does not exist on my laptop.
The tech checked the same model laptop that he had available, which I was told when he selected the web camera, it opened using the Toshiba Web camera application, not Microsoft.
I have looked at other Toshiba laptops with web cameras, and found the image quality to be better. Unable to get to settings as these laptops were on display and in demo mode, hence locked down to some extent.
I can't believe that a web camera in this day and age for this value of laptop to have such poor image quality. My digital camera from 10year ago has better image quality.
I have checked through the laptop, and I do not have this application installed.
I have checked for updated drivers and software for my laptop, and cannot find this application to be applicable for my laptop. Drivers etc appear to be up to date.
I would like to know, do other users of this S series have any issue of camera image quality.
When the camera is selected what application is being used, Toshiba or Microsoft.
Is Toshiba web camera application applicable to Windows 8.1, as I cannot see it listed for 8.1
Does this sound like a hardware fault or a application/software issue.
Any direction or help on this matter would be appreciated, as I am getting to the point of returning this laptop for a refund.
Thanks in advance.
D.
Yes, I have tried using the FORCE!

> The tech checked the same model laptop that he had available, which I was told when he selected the web camera, it opened using the Toshiba Web camera application, not Microsoft.
The Toshiba webcam application is available for Win 7 system but the Win 8 and Windows 8.1 system use the own Microsoft webcam application.
> I have looked at other Toshiba laptops with web cameras, and found the image quality to be better.
Different Toshiba notebooks are equipped with different webcams.
Satellite S70-A-11H was equipped with a *0.92 mega pixel webcam*
A Satellite A660 for example was equipped with an _1.3M mega pixel webcam_
So there is a difference in webcam resolution

Satellite L650 - Web Camera Initializations Failed

Hello,
I have a Satellite L650. I have had it for just under 6 months and the other day, I turned on the computer to find the web cam pop up message saying "Web Camera Initializations Failed etc..." I have also noticed that the in built microphone too isn't working anymore.
I have uninstalled, and re installed the driver and it is still not working.
I was wondering if there is anyone who can help or has had the same problem?
Cheers,
Dylan.

Hi Dylan,
Can you use the internal webcam with other applications like Skype?
Have you installed the correct webcam driver for Satellite L650?
What operating system you are using?
If you have already reinstalled the webcam driver I would recommend using CCleaner tool. This is a very nice freeware tool that can check your registry for old registry keys and delete them. So its nice cleaning software to enhance the performance a little bit and fix problems. Just use Google to find this program.
Check this!!!

Re: Web Camera is not working on Satellite T130

I have a Satellite T130 and the web camera has just stopped working.
Can anyone tell me how to get this going again please?
Thanks

Also check the BIOS, on some models there is an option to disable the Webcam in the BIOS.
And also ensure Skype, Messenger, or other programs that use the webcam are not running, only one application can use the webcam at a time.

Web cam is not recognized properly on Satellite L500D

Hi
I have a Satellite L500D when I login in the web cam app pops up and say web camera initialization failed. Please check your camera device and restart application or computer.
I press ok and the app closes down so I checked the device manager and there were no camera devices.
I downloaded the driver twice and still can`t see the driver in the device manager area.

Hi
Thats pretty strange.
Is your notebook preinstalled with original Toshiba recovery image (factory state)?
Everything is possible and it can be defective cam but best way to find it out is to install OS again using Toshiba HDD recovery installation. After doing this you will have factory state again.
With factory settings every hardware component should work properly.
Do not install any additional software. After finishing OS installation check webcam functionality to see if the same will happen again. if there is the same situation contact nearest Toshiba service and explain the situation.

Tecra M11-17V with Windows 7 - Web Cam image is very grainy

Hi,
Yesterday my webcam (built into the laptop) worked perfectly, today it doesn't....
Whenever I use it now, the image is very grainy, almost like a tartan pattern of criss-crossing lines, but I can still just about make out myself in the background. Movement and sound are still being recorded, just the image is strange.
Please help! Has anyone else had this happen? Is this something I can fix myself, or is it a hardware problem? I have had this laptop about 3months, from brand new, and this is the first problem I've had...
Many thanks,
Dom

Hi Paolo,
Thanks for the tips, but I'm afraid my camera is still out of action....
I've double checked that the protective lens film has been removed, and I've disabled/re-enabled the camera device, updated the camera driver, and completely reinstalled all the camera software to no effect. I've also ruled out conflicting software issues, as the problem persists for both skype calls and the laptop's face recognition software used when logging into my account.
The frustrating thing is that the fault happened suddenly halfway through a skype call. It was working perfectly on minute, and broken the next (seemingly irreversible.... fingers crossed). I had used skype for a mammoth 3hr call the night before, but I hope that wouldn't have "burnt out" the brand new camera...
Do you, or anyone else, know if sounds like a physical problem? Are web cam hardware faults common? I have never dropped the laptop, though it does commute with me on the train into work everyday...
When I first got the laptop, the inbuilt fingerprint scanner didn't work very accurately until I updated the driver software. Is it common for faults to suddenly appear when drivers become "out of date"? Any chance these problems could be related?
Thanks again for your help,
Dom

Cannot get web cam to function and cannot find anything on control panel to indicate how to do this - anyone help please.

Hi Julara,

You need the webcam driver that you can use it. The driver can be downloaded on official Toshiba website:

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.
