Skype not recognising web camera

I have tried everything to get skype to recognise my web cam again. It used to work fine in a previous version of skype but now nothing seems to work. I have tried reverting back to an earlier version and only get the message "page not found". Skype does recognise the microphone in my camera so I am able to do NO VIDEO calls, but I have seen sooooooo many complaints about this problem with sooooo many ideas from people trying to help and NOTHING works. The suggestion that going back to an earlier version is STUPID. You tell me I have to go back in time to fix YOUR **bleep**up. All I want to do is use Skype free to call video like I used to be able to do. Why does this program recognise the mic in my camera and NOT the camera.......... My suggestion is that Skype should be promoting OTHER free to call programs from other companies, as they dont seem to care about what caused this problem to happen to so many people, and seem uninterested in fixing the problem.. I am running Windows 7 on a desktop and laptop. If anyone can help please email me at [Mod edit: Please do not include personal/private information when making a public post. Thanks!] and I live in New Zealand.

Hey, 
I have an identical problem and nothing seems to work. All the settings are fine. Did they ever get back to you? Did it get fixed?
Thanks a lot,

  • Why won't skype activate the web cam on my kindle ...

    Why won't skype activate the web cam on my kindle fire hd?

    The question has been answered but not that you like to hear.
    You have been using an iPhone since 2011 with an iCloud ID that is not yours, how do you explain that?
    I saw a message that said your phone was lost and erased, and I was asked to activate my iPhone with my Apple ID.
    Since you know it was lost but not by you, you have an iPhone that is not legitimate. Your receipt may get you out of trouble with the police but that doesn't make the iPhone yours.
    Activation Lock cannot be bypassed and  if the your story is true then you should sort it out with Best.

  • Prem 8.0.1 does not recognise DV camera

    Adobe Premier Elements 4.0 and 8.0.1

    Sony camera is recognised by Windows My Computer, AVS Video Recorder and Windows Media Encoder with capture capability.
    Premier only recognises camera as "Microsoft DV Camera and VCR" and does not capture.
    How to get Premier to recognise camera and capture video?

    Premiere Elements 4 or 8.0/8.0.1 on Windows XP 32 bit.....Yes
    Are you set up with a FireWire (iLINK) connection for this DV Data capture?
    Yes, as indicated by the 1394 connection statement. 
    From the screenshot, it appears that you only have 77 GB free space at the save location for the DV data capture. Can you point the Captured Video and Captured Audio to another save location with more free hard drive space?
    Have moved to 300GB free space. no success.
    Is this a "it worked before but not now" or "it never worked before" for Premiere Elements 4 or 8.0/8.0.1?
    worked a few years ago marginally probably on Prem Elem 4.0.  Have rolled-back NVIDIA drivers to 296.10 dated 14 June 2012 with no success  
    As background if needed, please review the following Adobe document on Capture

    Although it targets newer versions, the principles should be applicable to Premiere Elements 4 and 8.0/8.0.1.
    Have read, no fixes.
    Please review and consider and then we can decide what next.
    Have removed NVIDIA card and am using on-board DVI port. Prem 8.0 still reports "Microsoft Dv Camera" and not Sony as other programs do. What causes Prem Elem to not report Sony DV camcorder?
    Thank you, will keep trying.

    Hi Sylvia's iMac,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    It sounds like you need to reset the administrator password on your computer. Please follow the instructions in the attached article for information on how to complete this process. The article has instructions for Snow Leopard (10.6) and earlier, but there is also a link within the article for assistance in Lion (10.7) or later.

  • MBA (mid 2013) and Cisco Jabber Video client not recognising any camera

    The Cisco Jabber Video client is not recognising the internal Facetime HD camera nor the external USB Logitech Webcam C920.
    This was not working from the beginning. Cisco is aware of this issue and promised to deliver a fix in the next release of their software.
    After installing the 10.8.5 Update from App Store and the 10.8.5 Supplemental update the Cisco client was able to recognize the external camera.
    After that I followed a hint to install the Combo update this should enable Skype to recognise the Facetime HD camera. After installing the Combo update Skype was able to recognize the internal and external camera (by the way the quality of preview video using Facetime HD was brilliant and much better than the internal camera of a MBA from 2012). BUT after that update the Cisco client was no longer recognising a camera.
    I run a recovery installation of 10.8.4 - but the result was again a 10.8.5. If I try now to run a recovery install I only get a recovery of version 10.8.5 offered.
    I did a SMC reset, a parameter RAM reset, tried to start in saved mode but nothing helped.
    Any other ideas how to get a least an external camera working again with Cisco Jabber Video?

    Similar problem here. I have a Logitech C615 camera/microphone plugged into my MAC mini running OSX 10.9.3. Today, JABBER could not find the camera (although it found the microphone?). I was running 4.5.7 and so downloaded v4.8.6 and reinstalled: no camera. I also downloaded the cloud version: no camera.
    I was not running either Vidyo or Polycom RealPresence at the same time as JABBER
    But, when I did run these apps, my camera & microphone both work.
    Suggestions?

  • Skype and cyberlink Web Cam

    . I can see the other person during a skype call, but they can't see me.  I have a new HP Pavillion Touchsmart 23

    Hello pfierrobb:
                You have to enable it in SKYPE.  Open up Sykpe click on tools then select options . When that windows opens select video settings. Then you well see select webcam click on White box select your web cam choices. Windos 7 HP computers it is called HP web camra filter. I just close out the filter stuff if I am not using it during chat session. Some HP computers call it cybrlink web cam.  If your web cam isn't listed yet the web cam still works in other applications your Skype software might be corrupted. Just uninstall Sykpe and reinstated it back with a new copy download  http://www.skype.com/en/download-skype/skype-for-computer/   If you are still having issues please let us know. Thank you frrw. 

  • Not responding web camera

    Im using the built-in web camera. Whenever i try to connect, i get an error message saying that im not responding. What does that mean and how do i get rid of it?

    trying to connect to what? Can you provide any more specifics? For the most part, the iSight camera is integrated into the applications so there is no need "to connect" to anything. Have you verified that the iSight is working properly? Try opening Photobooth and see how that goes.

  • MBP - not recognising digital camera/CD/DVD

    Awhile ago I was unable to burn my brother a CD - I thought nothing of it until I tried to upload some photos from my digital camera and play a DVD tonight.
    My MBP didn't burn to a CD, it does not recognise any digital camera (they work on a Windows computer, checked correct wires etc) and I have tried to watch a DVD but it doesn't recognise anything. I can hear a whirring noise which restarts every few seconds as if the MBP is trying to read the DVD, but nothing happens. I can't even eject it.
    I am hoping that I may have just pressed something idiotically. HELP!

    Nothing annoying about a "bump", Chris. It is easy for an unanswered query to slip off the front screen and get forgotten about. Often, in fact, if someone doesn't give a post a "bump" or post more information people assume that the problem must have been resolved by the poster. Unfortunately many people don't actually let others know that their issue has been resolved.
    Have you tried accessing the camera through iPhoto or Aperture yet, rather than looking for the card on the desktop?
    The DVD drive issue may well be completely unrelated. Dirty lenses, ageing lasers and incompatible media are probably the three most common causes of DVD drive problems.

  • My first gen 3g iphone photos are not recognised by camera wizard - it sees the phone but nothing else no files - it is not locked - ?

    I have a new 4g Iphone - Telstra (Australia)  disabled my old 3g and enabled the 4g so the 3g is just enabled to show contacts and photos etc.
    I want to download my photos and contacts from the 3g.  trouble is that my internet is dial up only at home and impossible to use as too slow.
    So my itunes is now out of date (not current module 10.5 + etc.) and the 3g phone is also not operating on the latest ios.
    BUT the itunes does sync the phone - but it seems to only sync from computer to phone - so my camera roll on the 3g is not on my computer - therein lies the dilemma - I don't know how to download the photos.  I cannot update the ios on the 3g and it seems that might be reqired to "back up"
    So first question is how do I back up (not sync) my 3g to itunes.
    Do I need to updates its ios first and update iteuns first (in which case thats impossible)
    So what else could I do.
    It seems the other thing is that even if I could back up the 3g the Itunes won't recognise the 4g as the 4g is ios 4 or something and the itunes is not up to date.
    SO I thought I should just use camera wizard or a photo package like iphoto or kodak easy share.
    But with camera wizard my computer recognises the 3g phone BUT nothing else.  It is greyed out for options, and ini Windoes Explorer it shows it as a camera but when you right click it has no "properties" - and no files show up at all...
    it is like it seems the camera and then nothing else.
    THE CAMERA is not locked.
    WHAT shoudl I do?

    also - when I use camera wizard it just tells me the phone is busy or in use  and I should retry.
    If I use it through windoes explorer - it shows me the camera to computer symbols and a line moving between then but bombs out saying camera is busy.

  • Skype not recognising microphone or vice versa??

    Hi, I can't get my microphone to work with Skype on my HP DX2300 Desktop PC.  Windows XP PRO.
    I have started using Skype, but so far only for texting. I have connected the microphone to the appropriate socket (microphone symbol on front of PC case). The Skype "Echo Sound Test Service" effectively tells me the microphone is not working or being recognised.
    The microphone is working in that I can hear what I say into microphone coming out of PC speakers. However when I go to the Skype “Check your sound works” and click on check microphone the sound is no longer heard and there is nothing shown on the green bar (to indicate volume – if it worked).
    On the windows “master volume” panel, front mic and mic volume are both not muted and volume set to max (have also tried half way).
    From control panel, then “sounds and audio devices properties”, under sounds recording the default device is a Realtek HD audio input (selected from drop down menu with only that as an option).
    From control panel, then “speech”, I can get to "speech properties" no problem. However there is only one tab ("Text to speech"), no "speech recognition tab". There is an "audio output" button, but no "audio input". If I could get this tab to appear somehow, would Skype then recognize it perhaps?
    I have rebooted (more than once!) to check if that will wake it up somehow, but no!
    Do I need another (??) microphone driver installed? Or is this a known Skype microphone recognition problem? (searching for this on internet couldn’t find anything). Not being very clever at computers I thought it best to seek advice first!

    Thanks to everyone for all the advice.
    The skype tools / options / audio settings / microphone only had one in drop down menu - Realtek HD audio input, same as on the windows settings. So that looks logical and OK.
    HOWEVER I have played around again and I now have it working. I think I found yet another place where audio / mic settings are under control panel / sounds and audio devices / audio tab then sound recording. I say "I think" because I tried so many mute / unmute and volume settings I am not really sure which wasn't correct. It seems really ridiculous how many places can affect microphone performance!
    Incidentally someone on a different forum also suggested trying a USB mic, but another person said don't use one of them as they are rubbish. I don't know, just passing on their comment.
    Anyway thanks again all for your help
    Cheers

  • Re: skype not recognising my registered number nor...

    Hello ...
    Can you help me please.
    I am having problems with skype-to-go numbers.
    When I try to call some of my numbers, skype won't recognise my mobile number, but it works fine with others.
    When I go through the security process, it doesn't recognise my details or pin.
    I have checked all of the info and it is correct.
    This is a real challenge for me as it is the primary number that I have to call.
    Do you have any suggestions please.
    Many thanks ... Kevin

    Hello Kevin,
    Tip - Always start your own topic rather than attempt to use someone else's. That's very unfair on the thread owner and will often result in your query being overlooked and a resolution delayed.
    First - please log off from Skype - wait for 1 minute log on and change your STG PIN.
    If that doesn't help, let me have your STG #, the # you are calling from and your cellphone #. You can send this information to me by PM (Private Message) if you prefer.
    TIME ZONE - US EASTERN. LOCATION - PHILADELPHIA, PA, USA.
    I recommend that you always run the latest Skype version: Windows & Mac
    If my advice helped to fix your issue please mark it as a solution to help others.
    Please note that I generally don't respond to unsolicited Private Messages. Thank you.

  • Windows 7 skype not recognising password or user name

    I have had skype access for a year or so. I tried to use it today for the first time in a few months and it wouldn't let me in. I got access through the "change password" feature which emailed me a route to a new password but i am still not getting access through the skype icon on my computer.  The wording is "We don't recognise your Sign-in details. Please check your Skype name and password and then try again". Yet when i log on to the skype website it allows me to access my account details but only shows me the webpage and not my homepage Can anyone help. A solution would be greatly appreciated Steve   

    What exactly is the version of Skype installed now on your computer? In Skype go to Help -> About Skype.

  • Iphoto does not recognise my cameras anymore

    Up to a week ago my iphoto 11 running snow leopard worked fine and now when I connect my 2 canonixuis 85 is the computer does not see them nor does it open the iphoto program. 3 weeks ago I got the new Lumix waterproof (i think FT3) and it connects fine though has it's own lead. I tried a different lead for the canons and still nothing.
    A little frustrating as have a heap of photos to download onto the computer. I searched last night and they said to go to disk utility and do a repair disk permissions and still nothing (but I didn't have the camera connected nor turned on.
    I keep the computer always updated so can't remember if in the last few weeks there was a update that may be causing this glitch.
    Any help from anyone would be much appreciated.

    Thanks for your help, very much appreciated, but I have identified the problem. Once I deleted the nokia sync software (for photos and videos only), turned off the computer and came back later, turned on the computer and hooked up the 2 cameras everything worked fine.
    Just to be a pain to myself I loaded up the nokia software again and bingo the computer no longer sees my cameras - deleted software again and yes the computer and iphoto now see the cameras.
    Just for additional info the nokia software allows the the so called sync to happen but iphoto opens but it doe not prompt for photos / videos to be downloaded straight into the iphoto but into a folder on the system via the nokia sync software and then you go into iphoto and imovie to do a import into those programs. What I am guessing is this round about way of getting photos into a location that you are use to is a little painful, and I believe it interrupts with other cameras and since they don't have additional software nor can nokia sync see them the connection sits in limbo land meaning while the nokia software for n9 is there nothing else can be downloaded from other camers.
    Solution - delete nokia sync software from the computer and use works computer (PC) to down load the odd photo and video to a usb stick and bring it home.
    Hope this helps someone else out there.

  • Device Manager Can not recognise the Camera

    From the first day I installed my iPhone the camera would not connect to my PC. In the device manager my camera comes up in Imaging devices as "iPhone" with an ! inside a yellow circle (Not Triangle)I have deleted the driver and reinstalled it several times, and it is as if it can not find the driver or it does not exist. I also deleted the USB "Apple Mobile Device USB Driver" and reinstalled it and rebooted several times. In the device manager I believe the device should come up under Imaging devices as "Apple iPhone" instead of just "iPhone".
    iTunes syncs fine and I can even send photos to the iPhone to the photos app as an album, but I can not get the iPhone photos off the phone except via email
    Does anybody know the solution to this problem?

    Oh my gosh! I was having this problem, too! I found the solution, tho. It really worked!
    I was having a pretty serious problem that started when I upgraded to iPhone 3.1. While iTunes recognized my iPhone, iPhoto didn't.
    And if I opened iPhoto, I couldn't see the camera. Same with Image Capture - it said no device detected. I know there was no problem in 3.0.
    Luckily, there are other ways to get the photos off the iPhone, and luckily iTunes recognizes the phone, but that of course is not the point.
    Good news is that I believe I found the fix. Click through and I'll see if I can explain it.
    For some reason, it has to do with photos saved to the camera roll that were not shot with the iPhone. In other words, photos saved from email or screenshots. I have no idea why that would be, but once I deleted the non-shot photos, iPhoto launched normally and all was right with the world.
    The problem is mentioned several times in the Apple support forums and everyone with it is running iPhone 3.1 and Snow Leopard 10.6.1. Restoring the iPhone, rebooting and repairing permissions from the Snow Leopard disc has no effect. The only fix I've found is my weird one.
    Anyone else seeing this problem? Anyone find a different fix? Please let me know in the comments or interact with me on Twitter or Facebook.
    Thanks and thanks for calling.
