Skype can't access iSight camera on OS X 10.8.5

I'm running OS X 10.8.5 on my macbook Air, and as of right now the latest Skype is not able to recognize the built in iSight camera, meaning it doesn't show up under Sypes' system preferences.

I think you mean the System Profiler ...

How can i use isight camera to broadcast to web with Mac OS 10.4?

I am using an iBook G4 running OS 10.4 as a printer server. I have to do this to be able to print on my HP DeskJet 882c printer from computers running OS 10.6 and above (although I have not been able to get it to work with 10.8).
I can connect an iSight camera to the iBook via FireWire. Can I set that up to broadcast a video feed to a web site so I can visually monitor the area near the laptop and printer?

You could use compatible older versions of QuickTime professional extensions for your Mac OS X version.
This professional quality software is very powerful, and it will certainly stream any video you need. However, it is not simple to use, so be prepared to do some research and study to get it configured and working.
To use your iBook with its OS X 10.4, you will need QuickTime Broadcaster 1.5.3
and Darwin Streaming Server (v5.5.5) (if you need streaming server functions.)
Although I have never used it, QuickTime Streaming Server 4.1.1 might be a useable substitute for Darwin.

Skype can't access my sound card

Skype can't access my sound card. It fails every time and says "problem with recording device."
I've tried running it as an administrator, uninstalling and reinstalling, I'm pretty sure I've turned off any realtek sound effects or enhancements. I've made sure that applications can take exclusive control, but nothing has helped so far. DirectX diagnostics attached below

Since iOS 7.0.4 I can't access my camera roll in Instagram

Since iOS 7.0.4 I can't access my camera roll in Instagram, anyone else have this problem? I have done the whole settings-privacy-photos-Instagram-on but that didn't solve the problem.

I was having the same problem. Found this solution in the Instagram Help Center, and it worked for me.
Users who upgrade to iOS 6 and choose to restrict access to the Camera Roll will receive the following message when attempting to import a photo into Instagram: "This app does not have access to your photos or videos. You can enable access in Privacy settings."
To adjust your privacy settings, follow these steps:
Exit Instagram
Open the "Settings" app
Select "Privacy"
Select "Photos"
Toggle the ON/OFF switch next to Instagram to the "On" position
I hope it works for you!

I can't access my camera with the camera button. Only able to make videos.

Could you have accidentally toggled the photo to video? In the lower right (usually) corner there's a little icon that has both film and video camera and a tiny slider between them. That's how you switch from one to the other.

Can not access Adobe camera raw in PS CS5. Have a mac OS 10.9

How do i access adobe camera raw for images fro Nikon D 7100.

Since photoshop cs5 can only use up to camera raw 6.7 and the Nikon D7100 requires at least camera raw 7.4, photoshop cs5 won't open those files directly.
Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
You can though, use the 8.6 DNG Converter to convert the D7100 nefs to dng copies, which then photoshop cs5 should open.

I can only access the camera roll pictures, not my other albums

At first it was working fine, but now when I press the camera key, it automatically goes to the camera roll. I can take pictures, but I can't access the other rolls of pictures in different albums... Anyone else run into this?

Nevermind... I figured it out... just press Photos (duh...)

I recently downloaded Picstitch - i can not access my camera roll. I've tried settings-privacy, etc, but it doesn't show picstitch as an available app to turn on

How do I allow an app like picstitch or instacollage to access my camera roll? I have gone to settings-privacy - tried to turn on photo access, but the app doesn't appear as an option. Please help?

Hello there, RegBebble.
The following information on the phone User's Guide should help point you in the right direction for adjusting the preferences for your App:

Can't access Video camera menu

I have a linksys wvc2300 camera. I had it up and running to where I could log in from a browser (on a local network) and view the camera. However, I have since changed the port settings under the camera menu in the browser and now I can't remember what port I set it to. Now I can no longer access the camera or camera menu. I've tried pushing the reset button on the camera but I think that just resets the camera. The default IP is supposed to be 192.168.1.99, however nothing comes up when I go to that address. Again, I think it's because I changed the port number and I don't remember what port I chose. I've tried several options but to no avail.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Michael

The easier thing, connect a PC locally in the same subnet.

Can I record Skype video feed using iSight camera?

I have tried to use the iMovie application to record video sessions via Skype but I am not sure if this is possible. The Help instruction tsay to click the mode switch to set iMovie to built-in camera mode but i do not see this function. Does this mean I do not have the correct version of iMovie or that my computer is not compatible for this function?

You cannot use your built-in iSight for video in two applications (Skype and iMovie) at the same time.
I do not see any built-in ability to record video calls in Skype's video features page:
http://tinyurl.com/239gqgf
The easiest way for you to record Skype video is to add http://ecamm.com/mac/callrecorder/
You will find many other possibilities if you search the web for "+how to record Skype video call?+" (without the quotation marks.) You may find many other perfectly acceptable alternatives, but I have always had good results with ecamm products and can recommend them in good conscience.
If you are determined to use iMovie, I can suggest two ways to record a Skype video call using iMovie:
(1) Run Skype on one Mac
• Run iMovie on a second Mac pointing at the first Mac's display.
(2) Connect an external webcam to your Mac. (With more than one camera, iMovie will show both.)
• Launch iMovie and select the external cam as the video recording source.
• Point the external cam at your Mac's display.
• Launch Skype and verify that your built-in iSight is the cam that Skype will use.
• Start your Skype call and set the window size, brightness, and location.
• Adjust the iMovie cam to show the part of your display you want to record and start recording.
Call Recorder seems a much better ways to record your Skype videos than either of these.
*For Snow Leopard users wanting to record Skype video*: you can record your entire display regardless of what app is running by using the QuickTimeX (version 10.x) that is bundled with Mac OS X 10.6.x. (10.5.8's QuickTime does not offer this screen recording feature.) QTX records only the full screen, so a product like Call Recorder may still be of interest to SL users who want to record less than full screen calls.

Can't access my camera color profiles in Photoshop CC 2014 latest update under Yosemite

I normally have profiles for each camera made by X Rite Color Checker and these are available when processing RAW files. Under Yosemite on a new 2013 Cylinder Mac Pro, Photoshop RAW developer cannot access the profiles.
I discovered that the Adobe Submenu "RAW" was missing so I copied it from my Mac book Pro. however, the profiles still cannot be accessed by Photoshop CC 2014 on this computer.
Any ideas?
As a secondary issue, Adobe DNG maker won't accept RAW files from my Sony A7R, but it did in the past on the Macbook pro running Mavericks.
Thanks for your insights,
Asher

OK, I am not entirely sure I have understood your post completely, but when you edit a colour range with a Hue/Sat layer, and click off and back on again, it will default to showing the RGB values, which you may not have made any adjustment to. If you pick the previous colour from the image, or a similar colour, it _will_ show you the adjustments. So long as your picked colour is contained within the range of the previous adjustment.
Ypu could also use the RGB drop down (actually they call it Master nowadays), and chose the colour that is closest to your previously picked colour. I expect you are away that you can edit the colour range being operated on by dragging the four sliders on the two colour bars at the bottom of the Properties panel.
Does that make sense, or am I going in the wrong direction?

Help! I installed the wrong firmware and now can't access the camera to change it back!

I have done something silly and wonder if you can help to get me out of a fix. Yesterday I upgraded the firmware of my camera and I can no longer see the camera on the network, even when it is connected by a wired connection. I have tried a hard reset but that has not helped.
I now realise that I have upgraded with firmware via a link from the US website and it is a different firmware version to the UK site. It is also designated as a RoSh version (although I do not understand the significance of this). Presumably US networks are set up differently to EU ones?
I upgraded the firmware from version 1.10 to version 1.25 (RoSh). The European firmware upgrade is designated as version 1.21.
The only way forward that I can see is to find a network that will recognise the camera and then change the firmware back to the European one. Any ideas?

Whats the Model number of your Camera. As you have uploaded the wrong firmware of your Camera. I think you can download the Latest firmware from the European website and upgrade the firmware of your Camera using TFTP tool utility.
Go to ftp.linksys.com/pub/network... and download TFTP.exe File on your computer. Once done connect your camera to the Computer and provide a Static IP to your computer.
Double click the tftp.exe file and click run :
For Server- Enter the IP Address of the router that you assigned. By default, the router is 192.168.1.115...
For Password- Enter the password you assigned the camera. By default, the camera’s password is “admin”.
For File- Click the triple “…” button and browse for the .bin firmware file...Click Upgrade button to start upgrading. A progress bar should show up to show the progress.
Once the Upgrade is done press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds...Release the reset button...Unplug the power cable from your camera, wait for 30 seconds and re-connect the power cable...Now re-configure your camera...

Can I access standard camera filters with Flash?

I know I can set filters with the filter classes in Flash:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/flash/filters/package-d etail.html
But I think not only the Android devices have standard camera filters like these:
http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/media/camera.html
See graphic after "Common camera features sorted by the Android API Level in which they were introduced.":
Feature
API Level
Description
Face Detection
14
Identify human faces within a picture and use them for focus, metering and white balance
Metering Areas
14
Specify one or more areas within an image for calculating white balance
Focus Areas

Set one or more areas within an image to use for focus
White Balance Lock
14
Stop or start automatic white balance adjustments
and so on
Can I in Flash find out all smartphone specific camera filters (or more common spoken features) and use them or have I to use the filter classes of flash and program them a second time although they are already implemented in the standard smartphone camera api?

My aim was to make an smartphone os independent photo and filter app.

I can't access my Camera Roll Album because it is under the Albums banner at the top of my screen. How can I get to it and open it?

I have only had my 3GS iPhone for about one month and all seems to be working fine. The other day I went to check on some pictures that I shot with the phone but can't get to them. I have 2 albums. Photo Library of pictures I downloaded and Camera Roll of pictures I shot with the phone. I can't get to the Camera Roll because it is under the Albums banner at the top of the screen.

Can't believe it was that easy... I'm so dumb! Thanks for your help, I was getting so aggravated! I owe you... Thanks again!
