help please!!!
anyone know any drivers?

Hello Nicoron,
QuickCam Notebooks Deluxe, QuickCam Express are not recognized by Skype.
Sounds like Communicate STX and 4000 work OK from Logitech, there
should be a patch available soon to support, or at least Skype should make
clear which cameras they do support.

Dv6-1030us Webcam Problem

I have a dv6-1030us computer and it seems since I installed Vista Service Pack 2 the built in webcam works intermittently. (I noticed the problem too long after I installed SP2, so I have no easy route back to SP1) Most of the time it simply doesn't work; when you open the HP MediaSmart webcam program, your hear the sound of a usb device unplugging and get an alert that the "Connection to the video device was lost". If you check device manager the webcam still shows up as there and I don't see anything else missing.
Occasionally - and I have not been able to reproduce a chain of actions that are repeatable to help solve the problem - the camera does work. Probably less than 5% of the time. I have called customer service and they said other people are reporting a similar problem, but I have yet to see anyone post. I am wondering if I simply have a hardware failure with the camera. I have updated all drivers and have the latest bios version f.24. Any suggestions?

I've had this laptop for two years without a webcam problem. Upgraded from Vista to Windows 7. My webcam stopped working. If I go into HP MediaSmart Webcam it shows an image for a few seconds and then it loses its connection. I can't get it to work in the latest version of Skype anymore. It's not even an option to choose from. The only option is a Cyberlink webcam filter that I've never noticed as an option before. Any suggestions?

Dear Readers,
Please be advised that this software is not tested by Skype, and is not in any way a Skype-affiliated app; therefore, you need to be very careful using it.

Hi! The obvious solution to this would be having your friend download skype from google play store. that way you're both on Skype, and it's free aswell. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.skype.raider

See the following pages I have found that should assist you with this problem. I am including some pages on several possible problems to try to cover most of the bases as I do not know your OS and full computer. Hopefully one of these shots will hit the basket.

Hp notebook G62-b25SA Webcam problem.

G62-b25SA
XR524EA#ABU
Windows 7, 64 bit.
I have never been able to use my built-in webcam. I have installed the latest Youcam drivers and still an error message - "No webcam detected, if you are using an integrated camera make sure that it is turned on".
I have also followed instructions on this website - I have gone to Device manager and "scan for hardware changes" but I never get an icon for "imaging" hardware.
I know the computer has the hardware as my parents have an IDENTICAL computer - bought from the same shop at the same time!
Please help!

Hi
You have a couple of options as I see it please try these steps might help you to fix the issue.
Fixing Webcam Problems in Windows
Testing a Webcam With MediaSmart in Windows
If both these links does not work then you might have to call HP Techincal support and get the part replaced.
If your notebook is still under warranty, contact HP and arrange to have the drive replaced.
If you are out of warranty and would like a guide on replacing the Hard Drive yourself, please let me know.
Let us know how it goes!

Instant ink problem cannot print

Instant Ink Problem cannot print is the error I'm getting with my officejet 4630. It was working fine until now. I have enrolled in the instant ink program. My problem now is somehow my printer is not showing up on my account. it tells me to add a device. Fine, but when I try to add it wants a claim code which I have already used so there is no claim code to print. I couldn't print it anyways for the error " instant ink problem cannot print shows up. How do I add a device now???

Hi Gertiee,
Welcome to the HP Support forums. I see that you are unable to print using your HP printer.
Try removing and re-enabling Web Services from your printer’s control panel. Check your printer’s control panel for the Setup or Web icon, and then follow the appropriate instructions to enable Web Services. The steps to remove/enable Web Services vary by HP printer model. For your model:
HP Officejet Removing Web Services: Use Setup > Web Services Setup > Restore Factory Settings to remove Web Services from the printer.
Then re-enable web services on your printer. If the web services info sheet does not automatically print within a few minutes of re-enabling web services, web services has not been fully enabled on your printer. You may need to wait and remove and re-enable web services again in few hours to allow the issues affecting your printer’s communication with the cloud servers to clear up. Until a web services info sheet prints out your web services registration is not complete. Complete the steps below while your printer is connected to the Internet.
Officejet Enable Web Services:
On the printer control panel, touch the Apps icon, touchYes to enable Web Services, touch Yes to Accept Terms of Service, and then touch Yes again for automatic firmware updates. An information sheet prints that has your printer claim code.
On the printer control panel, press theePrint button or icon to open the Web Services
Either select Yes to enable Web Services, select Yes again for automatic updates, and then press the ePrint button again. Or, select Enable Web Services , and then select OK . An information sheet prints that has your printer claim code.
On the printer control panel, touchSetup, and then touch Web Services.
Select Enable Web Services , and then select OK . An information sheet prints that has your printer claim code.
If it continues to not print, see the Web Services connectivity troubleshooting here.
If you need to reach an HP Instant Ink support person, please contact 1-855-785-2777. Hours are: Monday through Friday 8:00am to 11:00pm / Saturday 9:00am to 8:00pm Eastern time.

EMac, Logitech webcam problem....

my mother has a eMac, she's running Mac OSX 10.3.9....
she's bought three separate logitech webcams: quickcam, quickcam deluxe, and the pro9000. none works on her computer. no software updates are necessary for her computer, we use skype, and it's also fully updated. she's tried all the usb ports on her computer, powering off and powering on, but the computer never seems to recognize the camera. no signs of life.
the strange thing is that she sent me the exact same webcam (quickcam for notebooks)... i've got an ibook g4-- and all i had to do was plug it in: it worked instantly without any install disk.
help! what could be the problem?

L655-S5096 Webcam Problem

Hello,
I own a Toshiba L655-S5096 (It has a chicony USB 2.0 built-in webcam).
I hadn't used it for quite a while after I purchased it in 2010.
Recently I tried using skype on my laptop, but it said that it couldn't detect any webcam.
I thought maybe the drivers have been obsolete or removed by mistake due to whatever reason, so I tried installing a fresh version of Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 (downloaded from microsoft website / geniune), and then different version of the Toshiba Web Camera Application (V2.0.3.37 and v1.1.1.15), as I found them in support.toshiba.com.
The problem is that first I was able to install it, and with the application, the webcam worked showing my picture and the blue light on the webcam was on too.
However, then I thought I can use it in skype, so what I did was I installed skype (latest version, and in the mean time windows did some automatic updates), and once I opened skype and I tried to make a video call, the webcam just stopped working and there was a noise as if you plug out a usb device.
From this moment onwards, whenever I try to use the webcam (I tried reinstalling the driver / removing skype / etc.) I just hear USB plug in noise and then the blue webcam LED blinks really fast and I hear the USB plug out sound.
I have tried everything I could, so I would be really appreciated if you guys can provide me with some information.

Hi ! Sense no one is repling, I'll offer my advice. Others my reply with better advice latter!
"I thought maybe the drivers have been obsolete or removed by mistake due to whatever reason, so I tried installing a fresh version of Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 (downloaded from microsoft website / geniune)"
Why would you do some thing like the above to preform a clean install when Toshiba offers you two options to restore back to out of the box(factory). I suggest you restore back to factory. You can get the recovery media here. I suggest the USB
Dokie!!

Webcam problem with Thinkpad L530 running Windows 8

Hi,
I have a L530 running windows 8. I'm trying to activate the webcam with Skype. Skype doesn't recognize the webcam. I went into the Start "page" in windows 8 and use the "Camera" win 8 app. The app displays a big camera with a diagonal line going across it, which to me meaning that the Camera app has problem using the camera.
I've gone into the controll panel/Device manager checking for Integrated Camera. The device status says "This device is working properly". The driver version is 1.0.0.19.
I'm not sure what to do. Any help is greatly appreciated. thanks.

Hi, whto
This sounds like the camera is set to Private mode, which is a security feature to block the camera from any potential hackers. To change this setting, go to the Lenovo Settings metro app and open it. There should be camera settings in here. Select the camera and make sure the camera is not set to Private.
Hope it helps,
Adam

Webcam problems using Messenger Live

I've just purchased a new S10-2 running Windows 7. When I've come to use the webcam to talk to my son using Windows Live Messenger I find that messenger displays my webcam video OK, however my son can't see or hear anything. The volume on the mic is turned up to full. His picture shows a pic of a webcam with a red cross through it, no video although I can hear him talking. I know his webcam is working, if I boot up my desktop everything is OK we can both get sound and video.
Anyone any ideas how to get this up and running

I have similar problems on an intermittent basis,
which I have always attributed to poor or inconsistent internet
band-width. Is your desktop wired and S10 using wireless?
If so, try your S10 with wired internet.
Or perhaps try a different way.
I've had better experiences using Skype,
Your son will need to load it too, of course
