Web camera problems on new NB505-N500BL DR3

Hello,
I just got a new NB505 netbook for my wife. I checked the web camera application not long after powering it on, and it seemed to work fine. I installed a few things (like Skype, my printer drivers, Windows updates, etc.), and then I started to notice intermittent USB driver load failures, and the camera will not work.
When I run the Toshiba Web Camera Application, I get an error dialog saying that camera initialization failed. When I run Skype, it just fails to find the web camera altogether.
In Device Manager, I see one unknown USB device, and I'm not able to update its driver.
Again, this only happens sometimes (though most of the time), but I've not been able to figure out what I may have done differently the few times the camera actually works.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks,
Ben

I have the same problem, but since the first time I use my lap.
It's brand new, but it's a problem to go to the place to ask for a replacement and I have noticed in google there is a lot of people with the same problem
I tried downloading the drivers but nothing works, there's a window saying the cam can't iniciate.
Please, help me. I'm from Mexico and ther is not phone help available in my country
I'm really upset with my thosiba

Rocketfish web camera problem

I have iChat 4.0.5 on an older PowerMac G4 (USB 1.1) and just got a Rocketfish web camera model RF-WEB2C. On my PowerMac it indicates that the camera is in use by another application. When I plug it on a newer MacBook Pro it works fine. Is the problem the USB? Any solutions? Are there web cameras that work on the PowerMac G4?
Thanks

Did you install http://www.ecamm.com/mac/iusbcam/ to get the cam to work.

B500 - Web cam problem in windows 7

I just reinstall a new Windows 7. My web cam in my Ideacentre B500 doesn't work correctly. There is no web cam icon in "MY COMPUTER". I tried to find its driver in LENOVO website but I can't.

How closely is this related to your [other query|http://forums.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=5442164] about time zones in Java *1.3?*
Both the queries are related to same problem only.
Thanks a lot AndrewThompson64, baftos and WalterLaan.
figured out the problem. The source code for the java.util.TimeZone class's getDefault method shows it eventually invokes the sun.util.calendar.ZoneInfo class's getTimeZone method. This method takes a String parameter that is the ID for the required time zone. The default time zone ID is obtained from the user.timezone (System) property. If the user.timezone property is not defined, it tries to get the ID using a combination of the user.country and java.home (System) properties. If it doesn't succeed in finding a time zone ID, it uses a "fallback" GMT value. In other words, if it can't figure out the time zone ID, it uses GMT as your default time zone. JRE 1.3 in windows 7 was working in the same way.
Did a code change such that user.timezone property is set to IST by using the java.lang.System class's setProperty method.
System.setProperty("user.timezone","Asia/Calcutta"); This will ensure that application will stick to +5.30 of GMT time zone and is totally independant of the system OS(Widnows XP, Vista, Win 7) and system timezone setting(UTC/GMT). Have created a method to fetch the timezone string value (Asia/Calcutta) from DB. This will make bit more configurable. Tested it. It worked very well in my quality servers.

Web cam problem for HP HDX X16T-1200 CTO Premium Notebook PC

I have recently base installed windows 7 on my HP HDX X16T-1200 CTO Premium Notebook PC and since then i have not been able to use my web cam. It comes up in my driver manager but it comes up as an unknown device with a code 43 error. Please help, I am not sure what information would be need to solve this problem so please just tell me what is needed and how to find it.

Is there a possible way to identify the driver? It says it is installed correctly. Also i cannot find usbvideo.sys can this be the problem?

OS X Server Web Server Problem Creating New Domain

I am running Mac OS X Server version 3.0.2 and added a new domain (website), like www.example.com, but my own.
Everything seems to work fine.
But when accessing the website it says the following:
"Forbidden. You don't have permission to access / on this server."
Who Can Access: Anyone
What shall I do to change this?
Sincerely,
Andreas

Thank you again!
What puzzles me, is that we launching Terminal.app and stepping to the folder "/Library/Server/Web/Sites/Data/mydomain.com" and do a ls -al, it looks like this:
drwxrwxr-x 18 root admin 612 15 Jan 12:24 Default
That is the Default site which I could access via internet when I enabled it at first.
The same is set for mydomain.com that I created as a new web site (domain) in the Web Server, and the information is identical with the Default one, with one exception, the permissions. The permissions for mydomain.com is as follows:
drwxr-xr-x 13 root admin 442 15 Jan 15:44
Why would not the New web site work when it is the same user and group that has access, with the only exception of a w less on mydomain.com?
I thought I would see _www or www above, but not at all. Isn't that strange?
Sincerely,
Andreas

Corrupted image in applet from web cam

Hi there I created a little webcam server application that listens to port 8080 for requests, then displays an image. The image is jpeg encoded frame grabbed from a logitech web cam using the java media framework. I got the code from this forum.
I have tried it across a 56kb modem on four different computers. On three the applet displays the images without problems. On the fourth the image is corrupted like it didn't receive all the data.
Anyone have any idea why this occurs in one and not the others
Here's some of the source
The applet just uses getImage( http://[host]:8080 )

Hi,
I don't know how to solve this problem,
but I want to ask you how you managed to get
FrameGrabbingControl which is not null.
I use Logitech QickCam and everytime when I try to get a FrameGrabbingControl from the Player it returns me null?
Can you help me?
have you any ideas why I get null?
WebCamLocator - is OK. If I can use it to record a video clip. But I can't take a single frame..
Manager.setHint( Manager.LIGHTWEIGHT_RENDERER, new Boolean(true) );
Player WebCamPlayer = Manager.createRealizedPlayer(WebCamLocator);
WebCamPlayer.start();
FrameGrabbingControl fgc = (FrameGrabbingControl)WebCamPlayer.getControl("javax.media.control.GrabbingControl");
Buffer buf = fgc.grabFrame();

Problem with image control using more than 1 web cam

Hi,
I am using logitech quickcam pro 4000.Actually I want to get image from
3 web cam at a time wich will act as a CCTV.I want to get picture from
more than 1 web cam at a time.But,When I start the .vi,than I get image
from 1 web cam.I have attached the vi and the demonstration file.
If anyone has any idea please send me a reply.
(The code was constructed using information
from the Logitech Software Development Kit, downloaded from the Logitech web
site January 4th 2004. This
package includes the royalty free distribution with the camera driver.
To install the package, download and unzip
LabVIEW Logitech UWA.zip and run Setup.exe in the 'redist' folder. This installs drivers (if not already
installed). Then run LabVIEW and open
Logitech Image Acquisition Master.vi.
Click the LabVIEW run button.
Notes for Understanding the Code
[1] The camera is controlled by an Active-X
reference from a front panel Acitve-X container that displays the pre-view
image. To create this, create a blank
Active-X container on the front panel and select the Active-X Hydra Video
Portal class.
[2] Three methods are called, following the
Visual Basic guide from Logitech. The
first establishes a connection to the Active-X server. The status bar is activated in the preview
window (EnableUIElements), and we connect a camera (ConnectCamera2).
[3] Here we set the value of property
'EnablePreview' to turn on the preview panel.
[4] We can get the camera description for
camera zero here (the first camera connected).
[5] Here we select the video format (64x480
– can change it later). The next call
establishes the preview size by setting property values. The preview size should be the same as the
video format for fastest image acquisition.
[6] We are restricted to saving the picture
to a BMP file and then reading it in again.
This is a limitation of the SDK.
After reading the image file we can change it to a JPG if we wish to.
[7] Here we re-read the image file and
provide it to ImageDisplay.vi.
Other methods and property values are
reasonably self evident. In LabVIEW, if
you right click the Active-X reference terminal on any method, you can create a
new method by simply selecting the appropriate one from a list. The parameters for the method appear
automatically and should be reasonably self-evident from the names. If you want more details, download the SDK
from Logitech.
Other methods allow you to make movies in
real-time or time-lapse sequences.
Note that you can also monitor Active-X
events to detect inputs or parameter changes made elsewhere. For example it is possible to detect when
the button on the camera is pressed.)

Hi Peter,
Thanks for your e-mail.And sorry for late.
I have changed my activex server in my labview programme.Current
server name is XVideoOCX.I have attached 1 example.Still I am facing
the same problem that I am not getting disply from more than 1 web
cam.So would you be able to advice me,what should I do regarding this
matter.
Actually,This is a part of my M.Sc project.I am under pressure.Peter,Please do me this fevour.
Thanks
Kabir
1 eample from help file:
Video Disply
1. Choose the input mode (Video, Single Image Files, Screen, etc.)
XSetInputMode(0) // This
chooses video as input
2. Choose the video device
XSetVideoInput(0) //
Choose the first available video input device
3. Initialize XVideoOCX
XInit() // Initialize
XVideoOCX
4. Start internal video capture
XStart()
now XVideoOCX should display the live video
5. Stop internal video capture
XStop()
6. Close XVideoOCX
XClose()

List of Problems with new Web Mail

List of Problems with NEW Web Mail :
- At first doesn't open full page message list or retain full page as default setting, have to drag down bar
- Only shows 20 message lines after “pulling down” the divider, screen partially empty until I scroll down. It should show at least 26, preferably all available
- After moving bar, bar moves back up after going back to inbox (not delete message) after reading a message, have to move it down again, and again...
- Doesn't go to next message when delete message on screen is selected, no setting option for default to do this.
- There is a drop down to select which folder to move a selected email to. The initial display shows 7 usable choices, with the usual slider and arrow to show more choices. The space on the slider clearly shows more choices are present (actually about 20 or so are there), but any attempt to use the slider or arrow to see more choices causes the drop-down to instantly disappear. I can't move the selected field with arrow keys either. I can select any of the visible 7 choices, and move an email to only one of the 7. NOTE: This one works in both IE and Firefox, but if Verizon Webmail was fully web standard (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_standards) compliant it would also work in my preferred browser, Mozilla Seamonkey, the direct descendant of the original Mozilla browser. Webmail should be FULLY web standard.
- Occasionally a message will move from inbox to trash, without NO indication or command to move them.
- Emails occasionally flash an error message and simply disappear - not to trash or other findable place, just disappear. No time to read the error message either.
- No way to set a whitelist for supposed spam emails, unless the whitelist for “Blocking” is the same. Very unclear.
- How can I switch my service back to the original, basic, email which works ok? I know it’s still there, since some of my other accounts still access it!!!
This seems my only way of getting this info direclty to the programming staff. If it doesn't actually do this, will SOMEONE PLEASE FORWARD THIS MESSAGE TO THEM !?!
Thanks!

Contrarily, it is Verizon's, as well as other companies like Verizon whose customer base uses a wide variety of web browsers, web page designers' responsibility to use only standard W3C-recognized code and not to use non-standard non-W3C-recognized code, e.g., Microsoft's Internet Explorer specific code, when designing their web pages. In my opinion based on my observations, Verizon's web page designers are too often guilty of using IE-specific code.

Problem in inbuilt Web-camera using JMF

Hi,
I am using JavaTM Media Framework 2.1.1e downloaded from below link in my application.
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javasebusiness/downloads/java-archive-downloads-java-client-419417.html#7372-jmf-2.1.1e-oth-JPR .
Main functionality of my app is to use Web-camera.
My application is working fine on Windows XP and Windows 7 using external Web-Cam device.
However, the same application is giving problem in accessing in-built Webcam on Windows 7.
I tried to access in-built Web-Camera from JMStudio app(of JMF..File->Capture->check 'Use video device'-> Press 'Ok'), however JMStudio itself is not able to access in-built web-camera. Always I am getting the error 'Couldn't initialize the Capture Device!'.
Please note that JMF Registry Editor(JMStudio->Preferences->Capture Device->Detect Capture Devices')is able to detect the inbuilt web-cam device.
Is this the issue in JMF itself or I can resolve the issue from my application also?
Also, when I tried to do online JMF diagnostics, I am getting below error.

Well, I don't know if the JMF Studio works on a 64-bit system, but the base java libraries work just as well as on a 32-bit system. I currently use both Windows 7 64-bit and 32-bit version, and I am able to recognize all of my audio input devices.JMF wraps around and makes use of a bunch of native interfaces, all of which are precompiled for 32-bit systems. As such, anything relying upon those 32-bit libraries will not work, and that cuts the functionality down to, essentially, the cross-platform pack stuff.
JMF's sound infastructure is mostly a wrapper around JavaSound, so as long as JavaSound is working on the JRE, you'll be able to utilize the audio functionality.
As for device detection, I know at least some of that is native code. I'm not 100% sure, but I'd almost expect the Windows performance pack to never return any devices on a 64-bit system, but the cross-platform back to return audio devices. This is an assumption, but, that's what I would expect.
In any case, if you're using the Windows performance pack, you'd most likely get better results by switching to the cross-platform pack.

My 808 got screen and camera problems. I need new ...

My 808 got so many problem..the camera did not working well and the screen has problem..
The camera problem when recording the video, i used to use touch to focus, but the when listen to the video the weird sound was produced while i focused on something..the screen has problem when looked at the dark pictures especially on grey colour...it was not the noises but it the screen problem..
Please Nokia i need new replacement..i just used this phone, and dissapointed with this..
I bought this phone for the camera, if the camera didn't working well, what the point i bought this phone..
Please one again Nokia, I NEED THE NEW REPLACEMENT..

@Rafi808
Have you installed any third party applications to account for the sound of the continuous auto focus (CAF) mechanism?
You probably need to visit Nokia Care facility so that device can be reset to "factory settings" and completely re-install device software, before pointing towards hardware issue with camera module itself.
Happy to have helped forum in a small way with a Support Ratio = 37.0

Problem in grabing images from two web cams

Hi
I am trying to modify single web cam capturing screen code into multiple web cam screen capturing. The method autoDetect() recognizes the web camera. I want to choose web cam by myself. I tried all devInfo from the list but it resulted no success. Always the first camera is selected . I use different cameras (Logitech and Genius). Please, how to detect both camera to work at the same time.
public CaptureDeviceInfo autoDetect ( )
        Vector list = CaptureDeviceManager.getDeviceList (null);
        CaptureDeviceInfo devInfo = null;
            if ( list != null )
            String name;
            for ( int i=0; i<list.size(); i++ )
                devInfo = (CaptureDeviceInfo)list.elementAt ( i );
                name = devInfo.getName();
               if ( name.startsWith ("vfw:") )
                                 break;
          ...The whole code is on: JWebCam

Here's source code I posted to capture a frame from one webcam.
http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=570463&tstart=25
Lots of people have problems with multiple cameras, something to do with the
Windows USB channels and failing to detect/select between the two.
So, capturing frames from 1 web cam is relatively straightforward, but you may have serious problems with two or more.

Toshiba Portege Problem: *Battery is not charging and web camera initialization failed.*

Hi,
I am having problems with my Toshiba Portege laptop. 1) Once laptop opens, window appears which says, "Web camera initialization failed. Please check your camera device and restart application or computer." Not sure what happened why the web cam application did not run properly. 2) Battery won't charge. When clicking the battery icon, it just says, "0% available plugged in, charging." I can not open my laptop when the cord is unplugged.
Appreciate if you can help me or any advice.
Thanks,

always good to tell what Portege and what system is running...
anyway -
to #1
an autostart process requests the camera, maybe Skype?
some web cams on USB ports do take some time
been initialised especially when attached via hub.
Windows boot sequences do not wait until they finished.
if the camera is working after a while than thats here the
case despite that message and it can be ignored.
to #2
forget the software symbol for the purpose of the question -
on any notebook you should see a battery symbol/LED
somewhere on the case. its yellowish/orange when
charging green when battery is full. if it doesn't change into green
(overnight charging) the battery is faulty or even missing...

Hello
I'd like to know too, I just returned a logitech camera fusion 'cause it doesn't do x64.
At least Creative makes a driver for Web Cam Live

I'm looking for a good webcam to use with skype.
This new "voice" camera looks better. Will the driver for Web Cam Live work with the voice camera?
Hello?
Beuler?

My new 24 inch iMac..where's the web cam

Got it out the box, easily swopped over everything from my old g4 machine via migration ( how easy is that ! ) but can't find any controls for the built in web cam. Am operating OS X 10.4.8. Looked in prefernces.

You won't just 'use' the iSight. Try loading one of the many apps that come with your iMac designed to work with the iSight. Photo Booth, iMovie, iChat and Comic Life are all options you get right out of the box.
