Thinkpad Helix Front Camera not detected

Hi, My front camera is not being detected all of a sudden.  The rear camera works fine but I noticed that the tablet is acting as if there is no front camera.  I dont see it in device manager and also in the lenovo settings app there is no option for camera.  Is anyone having this issue and does this mean the camera crapped out?

Fixed it for me.
Lenovo Helix i7 256gb... wish I bought a Surface Pro for better support...

  • Creative camera not detected error...

    Ok, I have a creative webcam pro. Not ex, just the Pro.
    I got it like last year and it was working fine. But up until two months ago my computer crashed and I had to reformat and all that good stuff...
    Now I put in the cd and install it. I plug in the camera and it says creative camera not detected. For some reason my computer installed the cam as "Dual mode usb camera plus"
    So after that I uninstalled everything and this time it installed the camera correctly. But I still get the error. So I uninstalled, yadda yadda. I can't get this thing to work! It worked before my computer crashed, so I dont see why it doesnt work now?
    Can anyone help me?
    Thanks.

    I have exactly the same problem - exactly as you state!
    The only this I noticed was that when I tried to install updates from the Creative support pages was that a message came up saying that couldn't uninstall older version and asked if I wanted to continue anyway. This is driving me insane too!
    Can anyone help out here - I am running Windows XP Home Media Center (which is a pile of pants too!)

  • Camera not detected

    When I connect my iphone to my PC, i get a message "Camera not Detected - check connecting cable and retry" My itunes does not automatically load up. I have to do it manually.
    I then synchronize photos on to my PC. It creates a folder called "iPod Photo Cache" with many subfolders beneath it. There is a file called "Photo Database" but no jpeg files. I do not know what software to use to view the pictures. Is it because the camera is not detected that I am not able to download pictures taken on the ipod as jpeg files to be viewed on my pc?

    rebooting phone did not solve problem.
    I kinda of solved my problem by going to Start, Accessories, and Scanner and Camera Wizard. Doing this i can get my iphone pictures. Even though they are not of order and rotated in all different manners. I have to go through this procedure each time I connect my cable.

    If the problem is only with Google Hangout, take a look at FaceTime Camera not detected @ Google Hangout with OS X Mavericks 10.9 - Google Groups.  You may need to wait for a google update or contact Google Support.
    If ithe trouble is with other apps, too, see Apple's http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2090
    (Over time, Apple has changed the built-in camera's name on newer Macs from "iSight" to "FaceTime" and then to "FaceTime HD."  Regardless of the name of your Mac's built-in camera, the same info and troubleshooting applies.)

  • My MacBook Pro says camera not detected when I adjust my screen!

    i have had my macbook pro for about a year now and sometimes when i am using facetime and adjust my screen my picture will freeze and when i restart the program it will say camera not detected. why does this keep happening and should i take it to a store to get checked out, is this fixable? help!

    Sounds like a cable has slipped out of a connector, seeing as they go from "under the keyboard" and up by the display. You should get it checked out. I had a similar problem, but then it was my display that went to sleep when in 45°. I fixed it by just closing and opening the screen all the way a few times. Tried that?

  • T60 - thinkpad ultranav driver is not detected

    Hello,
    From the following link I downloaded and installed the "UltraNav Utility for Windows 7 (32-bit, 64-bit), Vista (32-bit, 64-bit), XP (32-bit, 64-bit) - ThinkPad "
    http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/products/laptops-and-netbooks/thinkpad-t-series-laptops/thinkpad-t60...
    My O.S is Windows XP-32
    Upon installation completion I was asked to restart the Laptop.
    But upon windows boot, the mouse pad is not working. Only the red mouse is working .
    I tried <Fn+F8>. It did not make a difference .
    From this link I also installed: UltraNav Wizard for Windows 2000/XP".
    When I ran the wizard I got the message:
    thinkpad ultranav driver is not detected
    In the device manager, under "Mice and other pointing devices", there is only PS/2 mouse.
    Can you help ?
    Thank you in advance,

  • Intermittent "Camera not Detected" with D90 and Windows 7

    I just installed and set up LIghtroom 4 on a Windows7 PC. We are having intermittent problems shooting tethered with a Nikon D90. We have successfully been able to tether the D90 to and capture images in Lightroom. But now we are frequently receiving the "Camera not Detected" indicator in the tethered capture window.
    It seems that Windows 7 is taking control of the camera away from Lightroom. Is that possible? Is there some setting in Lightroom to override Windows?

    it has to be plugged into the machine before you power on the machine, it is not hot swapable like on OSX

    Hi garyliban!
    Please ensure that your camera's software is up to date.  The older versions that came with your camera were out long before Windows 8, so they need to be updated to be able to work with Windows 8.  Please click here to go to the download page.
    If this is a time sensitive-matter, additional support options are available at Contact Us.

  • Front camera not working

    Hi, I was wondering if anyone else has had the same problem as myself in regards to the front camera not working. All I seem to get is a black screen! I'm not sure if I need to activate it somehow or it's just not working? Thanks Ross

    UPDATE:  After the intial Factory Data Reset, the camera work fine for one day.  Now it's back to the same blank screen in the front camera.  Also now my video camera isn't working either.  I get an error msg "Recording in progress in another app. Cannot record".  I know some folks were having issues with the "OK Google" app.  I checked mine and all is unchecked.   Spent most of the day talking with Sony and Verizon and neither was able to help me other than Verizon offered a refurbed phone.  No thank you, my phone is new.  **bleep** Sony?  If anyone can help, it would be greatly appreciated.

  • ENVY 2 Camera not detectable

    The Internal Cameras in my HP ENVY 2 are not being dected.  Used to work then the back facing camera became degraded and now both front facing & back cameras have quit functioning and their programs/drivers are not visible anywhere.  
    This seems to be a common problem in HP computers -- I see a lot posts about cameras are not detectable but no solutions.  I also see a lot of complaints about HP Support for the issue being none existent.  This is the last HP computer I will buy -- there is a reason that they are cheap. 
    This question was solved.

    Here is how I solved the problem:

  • IPhone 6 Plus front camera not working or with lines and static?

    My iPhone 6 Plus front camera is having problems. Sometimes it doesn't work at all and the camera app freezes. Sometimes it works fine for a little while and sometimes it shows multi color static or lines.
    I've tried:
    Restoring from phone (without restoring backup)
    Restoring from iTunes (without restoring backup)
    Deleting ispw and re-downloading iOS 8.1.1 then restore
    The phone is less than 2 months old. I noticed it acting weird a week or so after I bought it but thought it was just software. At first it wouldn't work when using the camera app but worked fine using facetime. Now it acts up regardless.
    Any advice or opinions will be much appreciated.

    I have always used the iPhone's LED flashing alert to notify me when I get a call or text message. While I was on iOS 8 Beta 2-4 it was working fine. I did a clean install of the complete iOS 8 release and ever since then, the flash alert doesn't work.
    Sometimes it will work on incoming calls, but will not work on text messages. I've tried soft/hard rebooting, clean wipe and fresh installs, and pretty much anything in between. Now, today I got my 128GB Gold ATT iPhone 6 Plus, and it's the same thing. Updated to iOS 8.1, reset everything/deleted all contents and settings. Both fresh install, and iCloud backups and still no alerts on text messages, but now I get them on calls. I tried my girls ATT 128GB iPhone 6 and she has the same problem too. My old phone was a 64GB iPhone 5S and hers was a 32GB iPhone 5. Everything was good until the official release of iOS 8.
    I've tried searching for related issues, and haven't found anything since 2011 with a quick Google search. Most links just tell you how to turn the flash alert on but no new issues. All of my devices are on iOS 8.1.  I gave my father my 64GB 5S with a clean install and he still has the issue as well. So, that makes my iPhone 6 Plus, my girls iPhone 6 and my fathers iPhone 5S not flashing LED on messages and sometimes calls. There aren't any custom vibrations enabled on any if the devices. Has anyone else experienced this problem? Is it a known bug or am I just not doing something right here? i never had an issue before the iOS 8 release. Any help would be appreciated.
