Skype doesn't detect the webcam

I know this problem has been posted out many times, but unfortunately after trying each solution, it's resolves nothing on my problem.
I'm using ASUS X44C series, skype doesn't detect the webcam itself. And using Windows 7 64bit.
I've been trying to reinstal the lifeframe for webcam. Doesn't work
Tried to using many cam. doesn't work
Tried to making default the windows itself. Doesn't work
Reinstall and update skype. Still doesn't work
I even calling an IT to fix this, but he still unable to find the problems.
Any ideas?

Please, run the DirectX diagnostics tool (32-bit version).
Go to Windows Start and in the Run box type dxdiag.exe and press the OK button. This will start the DirectX diagnostics program. Run this diagnostics and save the results to a file. Please, attach this file to your post.

I don't have the Camera Shake Reduction Option in Photoshop CC

I don't have the Camera Shake Reduction Option in Photoshop CC, why is this and how can do I resolve this? I have a CC subscription, I have Photoshop version 13.1.2.x64.
Thanks.

You don't have PS CC, you have CS6. CC (CS7) versions will become avialable in June.

Hello guys i face a problem when i upgrade from iOS 4.2.1 to iOS 5.1.1 .when i upgrade i don' t found the camera app from the built in apps.when i try to install from the app store i don't found the correct camera app .please help me .

hello guys i face a problem when i upgrade from iOS 4.2.1 to iOS 5.1.1 on ipad 3 .when i upgrade i don' t found the camera app from the built in apps.when i try to install from the app store i don't found the correct camera app .please help me .please give any suitable link where i find the correct camera app

It's a built-in app, so it can't be deleted nor downloaded from the store. If you can't find it on any of your homescreens or app folders, and you can't find it via the spotlight search screen (swipe your first home screen to the right), then is it hidden by Settings > General > Restrictions > Camera being set 'off' ?
If not then have you tried a reset to see if you can find it after the iPad has restarted ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

Using a camera without fireware, final cut don't detec the camera,

hellooo!!
I use this camera:
http://www.trustedreviews.com/camcorders/review/2007/09/15/Sony-HDR-SR8E-Camcord er/p1
And it only have the `possibility to use USB to pass.
Only iMovie 8 detect the camera but:
my camera films to 4:3 (I want the PAL)
Imovie 8 only have the option to import camera contains in:
"Importar video como: Grande - 960 x 540
Maximo - 1920 x 1080"
¿Can I unload to iMovie in measures the PAL 720 x 576?
Because I want 4:3 PAL 720 x 576. I unload the material from the camera to iMovie and then to Final Cut Express but if I unload to imovie with 960 x 540 there are the measures of 16:9 and I want 4:3 and then I want pass it to final cut express.
Because final cut express either detect the camera with USB..
well.. thank you very much

If you only have USB 2.0 you will have to copy the video files from your camera to the desktop or some other convenient place.
They will be in the wrong format for FCE so you will have to convert them to DV with MPEG Streamclip:-

If your camera shoots AVCHD you can use FCE 4 to capture it.

I upgraded to ios5. I have an iPhone 4. I don't have the camera icon on the lock screen next to the unlock slide. Why not?

Probably because you haven't double-clicked the home button.

Computer cannot detect the camera.

I have had a Powershot A590, and could connect it to my HP, but now when I try to download images the computer says it cannot detect my camera.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi Katyboy,
Is your notebook connected to AC power? If not, please do connect it. This will ensure it is adequately powered so it can properly work with the camera.
Do you have any other devices connected to your notebook? We only recommend, at least as a test this time, connecting the camera to the notebook. Other devices, such as printers, scanners and external drives may interfere with proper communication.
Does your notebook make a sound when the camera is connected and powered on in playback? It should make a sound, indicating that it at least detects the camera. If it does not, try connecting it to another USB port.
What program are you using to attempt to download the images from the camera?
If this is a time sensitive-matter, additional support options are available at Contact Us.

I don't have the camera icon

I'm trying to take a picture w iPhone 5s. Don't have the camera icon

Check: Settings - General - Restrictions - Camera = ???

Just got a Canon G7 x only to find that lightroom 5 and PS6 don't support the camera RAW that it produces. Tried the Camera raw 8.7 and that didn't help. Will there be an update that includes this camera?

I'm sure there will be support for the camera eventually. But Adobe never announces that information in advance. It's possible that it could be added to the 8.7 final release and to the next update of Lightroom. But that depends on the timeline and if the engineers were able to get the camera in time to create profiles. You'll just have to wait and see.

Using Lightroom 4.2 - Windows 8 - Canon 5D Mark II - trying to tether but will not detect the camera

Trying to get my Canon 5D Mark II to tether. It is on the "good" list. But all I can get is "Camera Not Detected". Computer sees it ok. But LR seems to be oblivious.

Further infomation. Computer see the camera when it is connected and switched on. Shows up as "portable Device". Canera also see the computer as instead of shutter speed in the viewfinder it flashes busy. So connection seems quite fine. If curious camera Firmwear is 2.1.2. Puzzled!

In Mavericks OS X iMovie does not detect the camera

Hi,
Yesterday I had OS 10.8.7 and then I upgraded to OS Mavericks, and now when I try to import videos from my camcorder (new camcorder just purchased 4 weeks ago) iMovie does not seem to detect it.
But iPhoto does detect it.
The camera is Sony Handycam HDR-cx220
Is there some setting that I need to set? Or am I screwed?
Thanks!
And if all else fails, am I able to go back to the old OS?

For a list of iMovie '11 supported cameras see http://help.apple.com/imovie/cameras/en/index.html?lang=en_US
Can you see the files on your camera in the Finder rather than from iMovie (either directly connected camera or via a memory card)?
If yes your camera is acting as a separate volume and you can copy your clips onto your mac with the Finder then import the files into iMovie. If the format is AVCHD there are some special considerations to take into account.

Adobe Flash Media Encoder not detecting internal camera

I'm running OS X 10.8.5 and it won't detect the camera. I've installed the latest update from Apple that's suppose to address this error. After installing the new update I reinstalled Adobe Flash Media Encoder and it still doesn't work. The camera is also not being detecting on Skype. Reisntalled this as well. Anyone running into the same problems post update?

Verify that you are using the latest Flash version that works with you system:
http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
If you need to update, use your Mac's Disk Utility to repair permissions.
Then follow Adobe's instructions here:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/908/cpsid_90893.html
Be sure to uninstall your current Flash player before installing the new one.
Repair permissions again immediately following installation of the updated Flash player.
Be aware that the current Flash Player Preferences can be configured to block your camera in your Mountain Lion Mac's System Preferences. However, you still configure Flash settings as shown here: http://tinyurl.com/5kjv3

IPhoto does not detect Samsung Camera

Here's the info: The camera is a Samsung TL500 and I have a MacBook with OS X Leopard with the latest updates. When I plug in the camera into the USB, the camera recognizes that it is connected but no files from the camera appear on the computer when I turn it on, not in the hard drive, iPhoto, Image Capture or Aperture. Looking for it under any name on Spotlight does not work either because it does not show up as a device anywhere.
I have used my Nikon D40X with this computer and never had problems. I have tried every setting imaginable on the camera to get the computer to recognize it. I know it is a problem with my mac and not the camera because I plugged it into my friend's macbook which has the exact same operating system as mine and it worked. There must be something I can do so the computer detects the camera's SD card as a mass storage device.
Here is what I have tried:
Changed the preferences on Image Capture and iPhoto
Changed different SD cards, both SD and SDHC
Switching the camera settings (PC Software on, Connect Computer, etc.)
Deleting iPhoto, Image Capture and Aperture .plist files
Repairing disk preferences
Plugged in other USBs (I switched it to different USB ports and also plugged in devices that work, such as my iPod to test if it was the cord. It's not.)
There is no mac driver for the TL500 and the mac is supposed to automatically recognize it (as it easily did on my friend's). I called Samsung tech support and they said it must be a software issue or operating system problem on my mac, which I believe is what I've narrowed it down to also.
I know I can just get a card reader, but honestly one less thing to carry around would be nice and since I know it's possible for my mac to recognize my camera I would prefer it.
Do you have any suggestions for other things I can do on my Mac to figure this out? I have not encountered anyone else with a mac who has this problem with this camera.

Welcome to Apple Discussions Iris,
You have done some very thorough troubleshooting thus far. If neither iPhoto, nor Image Capture detect the camera but another Mac does (using the same cables and media card) then I can only see 2 possibilities:
1.) Hardware issue on the Mac.
__Test this by using a different camera in the same USB port and seeing if is detected. I understand that historically it has worked but things can change overnight. Test it now.
__If you don't have another camera to test with go to Apple > About this Mac > More Info > USB while the camera is plugged in. If the USB port, camera, and cable are all working you should see your camera listed here.
2.) Software issue on the Mac.
__Safe Boot the computer and try iPhoto and Image capture again.
__If safeboot works you may have a startup item that is preventing detection of the camera. Go to Apple Menu > System Preferences > Accounts > Login Items and remove everything here using the minus sign except 'iTunes Helper'.
__Before troubleshooting any further I would suggest testing in a new user: Creating a new user account
Hope that helps.

FCP cannot detect DV camera

Hello everyone!
I need a little help.I just installed FCP 5.1 on my system and I upgraded it to 5.1.2 thru the software updater. My problem now is that FCP cannot detect my DV camera. iMovie and even the system profiler have no problems detecting the camera.
Whenever I start up FCP, with my camera plugged in via firewire, i get the message :Unable to locate the following external devices - Apple Firewire NTSC. Then whenever i click on log and capture, Final Cut suddenly shuts down. Any ideas on how I can remedy this? Thanks!
iMac G5 17" Mac OS X (10.4.8) 768 MB SDRAM, 250 GB HD

FCP uses QuickTime to do its capturing. You might try reinstalling QuickTime (don't skip any steps). Go to /Library/Receipts. Trash all QuickTime related .pkg files (Don't worry, you're only deleting receipts so that a full install will take place). Go to http://www.quicktime.com/ and download the latest installer and run it. Reboot.
post back,
Patrick
