Sony Alpha 7M2 - rear dial stopped working

My rear dial stopped working tonight. Tried resetting thinking i may have inadvertantly customized it but nothing. it appears to be trying to change the shutter spped in manual mode but it just goes back and forth fto the next spped setting then back. Help? Eric

Hi eleagjeld,
Welcome to the Sony Community!
When you said resetting, did you initialize the camera back to its default settings? If yes, I would recommend performing a power reset instead. Take the battery out and switch the camera on for 30 seconds or more. Then switch it back off to reinsert the battery.
If the issue is unresolved, service may be needed for your unit.

Looks like a hardware issue that will have to be taken to a store

Rear camera stopped working

Hello,
Camera just stopped working, tried on camera app and diagnostic mode and it just show black screen. Sometimes the camera app show "camera is not available" then crashed to home screen.
Several days ago the camera is still working. I accidentally pressed camera mode on whatsapp and it still working normally. Since then i just use the phone like normal.
Any suggestion to fix this problem?
Thank you very much

Not necessarily a hardware issue. I suggest that you try to repair the phone software using PC Companion..
Before repairing your device you may want to backup your information first. Check out this topic for more information on how to.
How to backup?
If the issue should still remain I think that this needs to be examined and fixed at a repair center. For more information about how to submit your phone for repair and where, contact your local support team.

Sony 8GB USB 3.0 stopped working

hello experts! I have purchased Sony 8GB USB 3.0 about two months ago, previously it was working fine, but now it is not showing up in My Computer folder, and when i checked device manager, it was listed in Disk Drives instead of USB devices, and its title is changed to 'Innostor NAND Flash USB Device'. I checked it in different computers with same result. Is there any way to fix this issue? or should i take it back to shop?
Thank you
Farrukh

Hello hpnut2,
Take a look at this document. There is a "USB 3.0 ports stop working" section right up top. Follow the troubleshooting steps and let me know if this helps to resolve your issue.
Good luck!

NOKIA 500: Smart dialing stopped working after con...

I'm having lots of problems with this phone. First, mail inbox mess, with yahoo accounts not syncing at all or ActiveSync problems...
In this case, the smart dialing option stopped working. This happens when I restore contacs from a backup file. I know because I made a hard reset *#7370# and until I restored the contacts, the search function worked. Please, work around this bug.

This process and experience is ridiculous at this point after numerous, unsuccessful tries.
Update:
Yet again I deleted the \cities folder & qf file from my memory card. I ran Ovi Maps, my cities folder was re-created, I went to My Position and got the expected red dot. Closed Ovi Maps, enabled Bluetooth, connected with the NMT tool then re-ran the Nokia Map Loader.
Surprisingly, the Nokia Map Loader appeared to connect fine with my device without error. When I selected USA Maps, the tool started downloading, got past the half way point and I saw as message stating "unpacking files". It was actively copying whatever part of the downloaded files it had grabbed to my memory card. Great, or so I thought, as this is as far as I've gotten in the last 48 hrs.
I then got an unexpected error in the Nokia Map Loader and the app closed. The error log is in the attached text file on this thread. (EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGSEGV))
I restarted the Nokia Map Loader and got the same error to reappear immediately but it re-connected with my device. This is the only app crashing like this on my Mac and giving this error. Previously, the error was EXC_CRASH (SIGABRT).
Now I'm quite annoyed that the Nokia Map Loader does NOT pick up where it left off in the download process before the app crashed. Therefore, I'm attempting to re-download US Maps for the final time, all 1.5GB of it. Hopefully it will complete this time.
Not a good Nokia experience regarding mapping updates at all, at least in the Mac environment.

Rear camera stopped working after iOS 7.0.2 update on iPhone 5. Why?

I just bought my iPhone 5 two days ago and it was running iOS 6.1.3. Camera was working perfectly and just after the update, I took like 2 pictures, and at first when trying to take a picture, almost half of my screen was in pink. After few attempts it just showed a black screen and app just freezes. Not only on camera app, buy on other related photo apps. Really wanted to know what's happening.

Hi there PompasJr,
I would recommend taking a look at the troubleshooting steps found in the article below.
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
Camera isn't functioning
If the screen shows a closed lens or black image, force quit the Camera app.
If you do not see the Camera app on the Home screen, try searching for it in Spotlight. If the camera does not show up in the search, check to make sure that Restrictions are not turned on by tappingSettings > General > Restrictions.
Ensure the camera lens is clean and free from any obstructions. Use a microfiber polishing cloth to clean the lens.
Third-party cases can interfere with the autofocus/exposure feature and the flash (iPhone 4 only); try removing the case if you have image-quality issues with photos.
Try turning iPhone off and then back on.
Tap to focus the camera on the subject. The image may pulse or briefly go in and out of focus as it adjusts.
Try to remain steady while focusing:
Still images: Remain steady while taking the picture. If you move too far in any direction, the camera automatically refocuses to the center. Note: If you take a picture with iPhone turned sideways, it is automatically saved in landscape orientation.
Video: Adjust focus before you begin recording. After recording begins, you cannot readjust focus until you stop recording. Exiting the Camera application while recording will stop recording and will save the video to the Camera Roll. Note: Video-recording features are not available on original iPhone or iPhone 3G.
If your iPhone has a front and rear camera, try switching between them to verify if the issue persists on both.

Importing from Sony TRV18E DV camera has stopped working

I have been happily using my Sony TRV18E and importing footage to imovie 6.0.3 on my imac until this morning. Now when I try to import, it still allows me to control the camera via the firewire connection (ie I can start, stop, rewind, fast forward), but if I hit the import button, all that happens on the screen is that it states that the "camera playing", with a blue background. The camera plays but no clips are captured.
FYI, it works fine on my macbook, so it is not the camera or the cable that are at fault. I have rebooted my imac and the camera a number of times, searched through the other focum topics and tried all of the suggestions on the apple imovie site. Firewire recognises the camera correctly (as per another post on this site), so it is not a firewire 600 / 800 issue.
I installed the following software updates this morning, which is the only thing I can think of that has changed since yesterday:
2007-03-08 09:10:13 +1300: Installed "Java for Mac OS X 10.4, Release 5" (5.0)
2007-03-08 09:10:25 +1300: Installed "QuickTime" (7.1.5)
2007-03-08 09:10:37 +1300: Installed "iTunes" (7.1)
2007-03-08 09:10:40 +1300: Installed "Security Update 2007-002 (Universal)" (1.0)
2007-03-08 09:11:26 +1300: Installed "Daylight Saving Time Update" (1.0)
Any ideas?

I had the same thing happen this morning after installing QuickTime 7.1.5 and the other items you installed. Like you, I could control the camera but not import successfully.
With the camera turned on and hooked up to iMovie, I shut off the camera, then turned it back on. Shazam! Everything started working again.
This isn't the first time I've seen this happen. It's happened once in a while all the way back to iMovie 1. It seems to happen after I do something major, like upgrade QuickTime. It's as if the parts have to re-discover each other — iMovie, QuickTime, FireWire and the camera. Once they do, everything starts working again.
The only suggestion I can make is to keep fiddling with it. Start up things in a different order until you hit the magic combination. Then breathe a sign of relief.

IPad rear camera stopped working since IOS7 update

I updated the iPad to IOS7 as soon as the update became available, today was the first time I used the camera since the update and the camera no longer works. I am almost sure it is a software issue, the front camera will work but the camera app does seem to hang, it just produces a black screen when you go to use the main rear camera, if you quickly switch to the front camera that does work - you have to switch straight away though as the app just locks up and is unresponsive.
I have tried everything within my power, reset all settings, reinstalled from a backup, set up as new iPad after restore etc etc. I have also downloaded a few third party camera apps from the App Store, but still the same problem, black screen and absolutely no way the main camera will work.
There do seem to be other people with this issue, but not everyone. My iPad is a 32 Gig 4th Gen (A1458) and purchased in the UK November 2012. I'm no expert but maybe it's specific to part of the camera in my model and others affected. Or it's just a massive coincidence and it has developed a fault!
My iPad is in pristine condition and is only used around the house, the camera hasn't even been used to a great extent, which is even more annoying.
I just hope this is software related, I really don't want to part with it or exchange for an Apple 'refurbished' iPad - in the past I recieved a very substandard iPhone replacement which was eventualy resolved, but it was a great hassle. Our nearest Apple store is an 80 mile round trip.

So it would appear this has been an ongoing issue through the testing stages of IOS7 too and no fix for everyone:

Very annoying, and who's to say a replacement won't fix the problem anyway.

Rear camera stopped working after iOS 7.1.2 update- iPhone 5

My rear camera is not working after I did 7.1.2 software update this morning. I see a blank screen when I click the camera app.

So my camera was fine until yesterday and pressing on the lens did not work so I went back to looking for solutions:
http://www.cydiaios7.com/back-camera-not-working-after-ios-7-update-solution.htm l
The article is from last year (IOS 7), but solution 1 worked for me. Here are all the solutions from the link:
Solution 1
Hold the Sleep button until you see the Slide to Power Off slider
Slide it and then immediately hold down the Sleep button again until you see the Apple logo
Solution 2
Open your Settings app
Tap General
Tap Reset
Tap Reset All Settings
While you won’t lose any of your data you will have to re-enter all of your passwords and personal settings again
Solution 3
Hold the Sleep and Home button simultaneously until the Apple logo appears
Let go of both buttons at the same time and let your iOS device boot up as normal
Solution 4
Try a different camera app instead of the stock one – downloadCamera Awesome, free of charge, from the App store
Install and both cameras should work properly.

Sony Vaio Authentec Fingerprint Sensor Stops Working - USB Device not recognized

Hey guys,
Now here is my problem:
I have a Sony Vaio VPCSB3S9E with Authentec Fingerprint Reader.
Everything worked fine until 1 month ago when this started happening.
Whenever I push my laptop into sleep mode it came back but the Fingerprint log-on didn't work. I didn't pay any attention to it until it started popping up a notification message that a USB device is not recognized which in the end, proved out to be the
fingerprint sensor.
Now, i tried rolling back the driver, uninstalling the driver, installing the driver/software from scratch, even installing the latest software from authentec before the site was unavailable and nothing helped. I tried going through several threads
around here but with no luck.
It works up until a pint where it starts malfunctioning.
Any help would be appreciated
I am running a Genuine Windows 7 x64 version with all updates installed up to date.

Hi,
Please also check Device Manager if its driver works normally. In addition, check Event viewer about this events.
Actually, I doubt whether this is hardware problem, it would be better to contact Sony to make a test.

Sony Handycam DCR-HC40 suddenly stops working with iMovie HD

Is it possible the FireWire (iLink) connection is busted?
I've bought two brand new FireWire cable and still iMovie couldn't see the camera. Camera has full battery; plays movies fine. Computer FW socket is fine too.
Please, anyone, help?
This camcorder menu is thoroughly confusing and now maybe something even worse has happened.

Hi -- I've noticed quite a few posts from Sony camcorder owners who are having similar problems. I am having the same issue with a Sony DCR TRV240. I've used this camcorder successfully before via firewire with both an eMac desktop and a Powerbook G4, but suddenly I'm getting "Camera Not Connected". Despite following all the troubleshooting advice I can find from Mac and Sony, I've had no luck. I also purchased a new firewire cord -- didn't fix the problem. Did you ever solve your issue?

Sony camcorder - usb mode - finder stopped working

Hello,
I used to be able to access the stills on my Sony HandyCam HC40 quite easily. I simply plugged in the USB cable and turned on the camera and went to the play/edit mode. Then the camcorder showed up as a disk drive in the finder.
Now I get a message on the camera screen saying USB Mode Unplug before changing settings. No disk drive shows up in the finder.
As far as I can tell there have been no setting changed on the camera and the only difference in the Mac is that I am now at 10.4.10 whereas I was at an earlier version (not sure which) the last time I successfully did this.
does this situation ring a bell for someone?
(Note that firewire - iMovie is still fine, but to get to my stills I need to solve this USB issue.)

Hmmm. Same problem on my wife's ibook running 10.3.
So it seems that blaming 10.4.10 may not be fair.
Comments and ideas welcome.

I dropped my iPhone 5s (with a otter box) and the rear camera just stopped working. It also now starts to over heat near the rear camera and the battery drains very fast.

I dropped my iPhone 5s on the floor on accident. Of course I have a otter box on it, but when i picked it up, the rear camera stopped working. Also the area around the rear camera started to overheat. I was so hot that it you touch it it will burn you. The battery also started to drain very fast.

You broke it. That seems pretty obvious. A case, including the otter box, is not a magical force field that can protect your phone from the force of gravity.
make an appointment at the genius bar. An out of warranty replacement will cost you $269.
