The camera on the computer does not work

Hi, I love macs and really appreciate the time and energy that went into making them.  There isn't a better computer out there.  However, I have been struggling with this camera thing and can't figure out why I cant use it.  We just got our mac desk top. It is an iMac 5 i think, and my wife's father loaded snow leapord on it and gave it to us.  However the camera on the computer does not register, and I am wondering if anyone has a starting point for this issue. Thanks

    If you weren't able to sync the purchases to a computer previously and now your iPod needs to be restored so you can't sync it now, then you may be out of luck and will need to purchase your content again. Officially Apple does not allow redownloads of purchased items other than iPhone/iPod touch applications and iBooks. The official statement of their policy can be found here, among other places.
    You can try contacting iTunes Store Customer Service (select the "Music Purchases" or "Video Purchases" category, as appropriate, then "Lost or Missing Items". You'll find either an "Express Lane" button - just follow the instructions to get to the contact form - or an "Email Us" button) ") and explaining what happened. Reportedly in some cases Apple has allowed redownloading on a one-time basis. But don't count on it. 
    Good luck.

  • HT1338 The update of my computer does not work!

    I come to the end where it says that everything is now ready and I just need to restart it.
    When I restart it, nothing happens and now I have tried to update the software like 10 times and it is the same all the time.
    I need help!
    It says that I have a combined Mac-OSx update 10.6.8 v.1.1
    /My

    1. I got a note that there is a software update on my computer that needs to be done. I also want the latest Itunes because I wan't to update my Iphone also.
    2. I press Okay and it starts searching for updates, I then get a note there it says everything is now installed all you have to do is to restart your computer. I press the restart button and it restarts it. But when I go in to Itunes and check the software info it is not changed.
    3. I have repeated this step many times but it is exactly the same.
    I have a white macbook -  and Mac OS X 10.6.8 (I think that is the thing you mean with current Operating system or can you explain?)
    THANK YOU so much for your help.

  • The camera on my phone does not work, just shows the shutter.

    I tried resetting the device and even restored from a backup but no luck.  I've even tried installing another camera app but still can see.  Anyone know if I can just walk into a store and get this sorted?

    Make Genius reservation to avoid long wait and take to Apple Store, this will be resolved under Warranty.

  • The Software that came with my book does not work. CISCO CCENT / CCNA ICND1 by wendell odom

    Hello this is my first post on cisco support and hope I can get some help. I recently purchased the book CISCO CCENT / CCNA ICND1 by wendell odom and when I used the CD to install the Pearson Practice exams, it does not work. I tried everything! It even asks for a activation code, which on the CD It says "Refer to the Activation Code Included in the DVD Sleeve when Registering Pearson IT Certification Practice Test Software"I don't see anything related to a Activation Code anywhere on the CD OR on the sleeve! So now I can't use that.
               The Network simulator Wendell odom uses in his videos is already outdated it seems and I can't get mine to work. Why? Because I bought this book in hopes of this being a beginner book and praying the person won't skip information to actually set up the book. So now the videos are useless because I can't connect because I have no idea how...
              The Network Simulator lite, wow 3/3 When giving me software to use. The Prompt command does not work, Only the enter key will work but when I try to put in a password I can't hit anything else but enter.
                 I hope I can get help from a more official member as to seeing how I bought this book and I can read but whats really the point if I don't have the hands on training?

    Keunepete,
    When I ordered my books for the ICND1 and ICND2, they came with a CD in the back pocket (sleeve) of the book. Along with the CD was a thick piece of paper that had the activation code on it. It was a white, square piece of paper with big black print on it. Did you buy your book used? Was the CD sealed in the back pocket?

  • I remove by mistake the realtek audio device high definition audio bus. Now, the sound of my computer is not working. What should I do?

    Hi! 
    I remove by mistake the realtek audio device high definition audio bus. Now, the sound of my computer is not working. What should I do?

    first go to start-all programs- windows update is at the top of the list follow the prmpts to install microsoft update which is the new version of windows update if microsoft update is all ready installed go there and select custom then let it look for updates
    then if it detects missing drivers it will install or guide you on what to do. If you have an r52 laptop then try this link.
    http://support.lenovo.com/en_CA/downloads/detail.page?LegacyDocID=MIGR-58599 the best of luck.
    2 if that doesnt work then try this  open device manager right click on the sound device you may have to expand sound, video and game controlers on the tab that comes up select properties then select the drivers tab  select update driver.   
    do it this way incase the driver installation failed the frist time it may not ask you to update again if you didnt uncheck the box that came up on frist try.
    3.find a mother board disk and search the disk using explore for ac97 realtech driver. actually windows update should solve it also try there  FIX IT web site there are many automatied fixes there for your use.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

    Hi,

  • I have a MacBook, made in 2010. I can't get the eject function to work. I have a DVD in now and want to eject it and put another one in. Command-E, dragging it to the trash or Find-Eject does not work. Ideas?

    Hi there. Hear are some other options . Hold down for click on the track pad while restarting and keep it down all the way thru boot. Or use right click on a mouse. If it's stuck, sometimes sticking a business card in top edge of slot while trying the eject option can work.

  • Crystal Report for VS2010 - The Go To Page function does not work

    When running a report into Crystal(VS2010), the Go To Page function does not work.  Typing in a page number and pressing Enter does not take you to that page.  The report remains on the current page. I'm not sure if there is suppose to be a button like the one in Crystal 8.5(VS2008).

    As long as you are using the CR assemblies for VS .NET, the viewer (Win) should look like this:
    Remember, the ActiveX viewer based on the Report Designer Component (RDC, referencing craxdrt.dll) is not supported in VS 2010.

  • I need help with a PDF file that is an image, the "Read Out Loud' option does not work, please help!

    I need help with a PDF file that is an image, the "Read Out Loud' option does not work, please help!

    You mean an image such as a scanned document?
    If that is the case, the file doesn't contain any text for Reader Out Loud to read. In order to fix that, you would need an application such as Adobe Acrobat that does Optical Character Recognition to convert the images to actual text.
    You can also try to export the file as a Word document or something else using ExportPDF which I believe offers OCR and is cheaper than Acrobat.
