ThinkCentre E73z integrated camera cannot be used in Skype

Hi,
I have just finished the complete updating of the preinstalled windows7 professional on my new ThinkCentre E73z. This is the first use.
I'm very disappointed. When I installed Skype it says that Skype can't detect any Webcam. They offer to buy one.
When I opened up the new computer package there was "Brief user noctices" paper and it indicates that there is an integrated camera in the front. Is it an error, and actualy ThinkCentre E73z does not have a camera built in or this camera is not equivalent with a webcam?
This is my first Lenovo. Maybe I should take it back to the shop and ask my money back. What is going on?
Lenovo preinstalled this windows 7 professional. They built in a camera but forgot to install a driver for their hardware?
Really? The customer should install the driver? And which one?
I'm puzzled with it.
I came across with this camera issu first, what else, more serious things can I expect later?
Anyway, can you give me your advice what to do?
Using Device Manager in Win7 how can I find out that there is a camera there or not?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

The situation is worse.
I just realised that the microphone is not working too. Nothing can be done to get it work.
It seems the whole panel in the front top of the monitor is out of order.
No microphone, no camera, no camera indicator.
I have a suspicion.
I asked the seller in the computer shop to replace the DVD drive with an SSD. (www.digiprime.hu)
They might have made a mistake. When replacing the DVD with SSD drive they disconected the panel containing the camera and microphone. Wired them off and forget to connect them again.
Is it possible?

T400 - 2763 - CTO: Integrated Camera cannot be detected

I have never been able to get the integrated camera to work since i got this laptop. I have tried mulitple attempts to fix it to no avail. I have tried updating the driver, bios, running the lenovo diagnostis, etc etc.
The interesting thing is that the camera seems to be functional. When I test it using the Lenovo diagnostics it comes on and pass the picture and video test!
But neither gmail video nor WebEx can detect the camera...
Device is working property in Device Manager. Driver Version is 5.8.53003.0 dated 8/3/2009 by Sonix
Any help on this is much appreciated.

I tried uninstalling the Sonix driver and installed the Microsoft Driver Version 6.1.7601.17514. No luck.

Samsung Integrated Camera not working with Skype

Hi,
I have a Samsung ES7000 series TV with an integrated camera. When using the Skype app, this initially works for approximately 1 minute but then a message appears on the TV saying “Connecting USB Camera and Mic”. This results in getting disconnected from the video call.
I have contacted Samsung on a number of occasions and after performing a number of checks without success to fix the problem, they suggested that this is probably a Skype app issue and I should contact Skype.
Could you please help resolve this issue?
Thanks.

Hi,
I wonder about the message, which is "Connecting USB Camera and Mic".
Did you have a software upgrade for TV?
At that time, did you unplug the power cable by force?
I recommend "please do a upgrade software of TV"
The upgrade is through the Network.
You can see the upgrade button at "Main Menu --> Support --> Software Upgrade --> Online".
IMPORTANT.
After upgrading TV, it will be automatically reboot.
Please, Don't power off until finishing upgrade by force.
I hope your success!!
Thanks.

How to use integrated camera? T61

I have an integrated camera, and I tried following the instructions lenovo suggests (opening the scanner/camera folder in the control panel) but no camera comes up! Also, I can't make movies either. I have windows vista so everything is different from the instructions lenovo gave me. Help!

To first test the camera, you can use something like Windows Live Messenger. If you enter the tools menu, you can use the "adjust webcam settings" option to test the camera. The green light next to the lens comes on to tell you its active and it shows you the picture being captured.
After that, you just open the app you want to use and its the application's responsibility to use the camera feed. Windows doesn't provide movie capture software by default if I recall correctly.

RW,
I am definitely not an expert on SAP Transportation Management. However, maybe your destination system has been set up as bgRFC instead of qRFC?

I restart on OS X and it hangs for nearly 15min. the slowest boot up i've experienced so far.
Once i'm able to login to my OS account I no longer see the bootcamp partition on "start up Disk"'s system preferences. and when i attempt to run Boot Camp assistant i get this message ....
Boot Cam Assistant Cannot be used
You must update your computer's Boot ROM
firmware before using this setup assistant.
another message appears when i go to "start up disk" in system preference. Although i only see my OS X partition, when i click back on "show all" this message appears:
You can't change the startup disk to the selected disk
The bless tool was unable to set the current boot disk
What went wrong and what can be done to correct this very annoying ordeal.
i'm able to boot on xp by pressing "option" whilst restarting my mac. however, bootcamp on windows is able to see OS X partition.
Your help is appreciated.
thanks

nobody has anything to say about my problem???
should i have to re-install everything ? and can a SL update DVD allow an installation from scratch ?

Integrated Camera not working on X201

Hello
I have a X201 3626-A61. Installed windows XP.
1. I have a brand new hard disk, installed fresh windows XP and my integrated camera works perfectly from windows explorer. Through device manager, I checked that its sensed as a USB Video Device and uses I guess the default microsoft driver. I did this extra step to ensure that there is NO hardware problem with my camera.
2. Then I insert back my regular hard disk that I use daily. This is where the problem is. As soon as I right click on the "USB video device", I get error "Creation of Video preview failed". In device manager, it shows as USB video device and shows the default microsoft driver. I have tried downloading both versions of the drivers available on lenovo ( I dont know why there are 2 separate files) and it does not help. When I install them, device manager show's up as "integrated camera". Uninstall of lenovo driver actually does not uninstall it correctly. So I had to delete all the relevant entries from the registry and even from oem*.inf files. No luck
I even tried to un-install the "usb video device" from device manager and also uninstalled all the items listed under "universal serial bus controllers".. but no luck.
One thing I observed was that as soon as I uninstall all these and then do a scan for hardware changes, it installs the enhanced host controller, usb root hub, generic usb hub, and for a second it detects it as "integrated camera" with a yellow mark and then it automatically changes to "USB video device". I feel this is the error.. where the Lenovo driver remains are still there somewhere and it partially detects it as integrated camera and then it conflicts with the Microsoft USB video camera drivers......
Can some one please help ?

hey manojpatil,
let me get this right
new hard drive with fresh XP, camera works correctly.?
old hard drive with (os?), camera fails to work?
I'm a bit curious to know, lets say with the old hard drive- will the camera work if you uninstall the drivers and let windows install generic drivers ?
If possible, try uninstalling on Lenovo software that you have installed on your unit and try again
Yes, when I insert a brand new hard disk and then install a fresh Windows XP on it, the camera works like a charm. It shows up as a USB Video device on my windows explorer and when clicked, it shows my face I carried out this experiement to ensure that there is no connections or hardware issue.
However, when I insert my original regular use hard disk that has 5 month old win XP ( which means i have installed softwares on it ), it does not WORK. I have tried installing, uninstalling the Lenovo software. No luck, even after uninstallation, the driver was still pointing to the lenovo binaries/dlls, so I did a clean up of those using regseeker in the registry... and then let windows xp find the hardware, which it does and installs the default windows drivers and the camera shows up as "USB video device" in device Manager. However, when I click on it in the windows explorer, I do not get any image but the error "video preview failed........". I even tried copying al the .ax, .dll and .sys files that device manager shows in the brand new hard disk / new XP onto my hard disk,,, but not luck..... This is just so very frustrating..... as I cannot install fresh my XP....
What is confusing to me that why is the driver that is available on the Lenovo website not fixing my problem when I install them fresh on my old hard disk ? Also, there are 2 links on the Lenovo website that point to 2 different binaries for the integrated camera drivre and I have tried using both.

SSRS Execution Account cannot be used with Report Builder

Running SQL Server 2012 SP2, I have specified an Execution Account in Reporting Services Configuration Manager as described here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms156302(v=sql.110).aspx
The article states: "You can specify Integrated Security=SSPI if the database server supports Windows integrated security and the account used for unattended report processing has permission to read the database." I have created a data source using
the Report Manager Web interface with connection string: "Data Source=<server>;Initial Catalog=<database>;Integrated Security=SSPI" and "Connect using: Credentials are not required" option.
The Execution Account is a domain user account with db_owner membership on the database in question. When I "Test Connection" in Report Manager, the connection is created successfully.
However, when I attempt to create a new dataset using this data source in Report Builder, I am unable to connect to the data source: "You have specified integrated security or credentials in the connection string for the data source, but the data source
is configured to use a different credential type. To use the values in the connection string, you must configure the unattended report processing account for the report server."
If I change the "connect using" option for the data source to "Windows integrated security" I can successfully create a new dataset and report in Report Builder. After saving the report, I reconfigure the data source for "Credentials
are not required" and I am able to successfully run the report using the Execution Account.
Is this a known limitation? The Report Builder cannot be used with an unattended Execution Account configured?

Hi desmondgc,
According to your description, you have set the execution account for connecting data source. You can connect data source successfully, but can't create dataset with the unattended account. Right?
As we tested in our local environment, we encountered the same issue. Even testing connection successfully in Report Builder, it still says unable connect to data source when creating dataset.
For this issue, I would recommend to submit it to the Microsoft Connect at this link
https://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer/Feedback.
This connect site will serve as a connecting point between you and Microsoft, and ultimately the large community for you and Microsoft to interact with. Your feedback enables Microsoft to offer the best software and deliver superior services, meanwhile you

What is the reason that the integrated camera does not exist in the hardware configuration?

When I start Face Time, my integrated camera doesn't work.
I check my hardware configuration, but, the camera doesn't exist.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Does it happen with other applications that use the camera, like Photo Booth? If so, I recommend you to reset the PRAM > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379 Then, reset the SMC > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
After resetting the SMC, start the iMac and see if you can use your camera. If not, hold Command and R keys while your computer is starting and reinstall OS X through OS X Recovery > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4718
If it doesn't work, it's a hardware issue, so make a backup of your data and take the iMac to an Apple Store or reseller
