Hi Maria,
This may help first. http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=121907
MSN for Macs does not do any A/V chats. Yahoo! for Macs only does moving pics.
There is aMSN for Macs to be able to Video to other MSN users.
Is the camera you have an USB one ?

Webcam and MSN messenger

I have a MacBook Aluminium version with latest OS software.
When using webcam (icam) on MSN messenger through both aMSN and Mercury applications why is the invited contact only able to see a blank screen even though they have accepted my invitation and it is showing as connected.
I have a BT Home Hub 2 and connect through this wirelessly, my daughter can view my webcam when i invite her however she is sharing the same wireless connection through the BT Homehub.

Welcome to Discussions, gordon bt
I am unfamiliar with "icam", but, until you get help from someone with more BT experience, you might consider the following.
If you have ever made successful connection with this contact, you need to check whatever changed since things worked properly.
I don't know how to fix BT problems, but, in the USA, the thing that usually sorts such trouble for me is to merely shut down everything, wait about a minute, and then restart my modem. When the modem's self-test is complete, I restart my router and let its self-test run to completion. Finally, I restart my Mac and try the connection again. Barring internet or ISP problems, things are working again.
If your contact has the same problem with others, too, the problem is likely at his end. He should test.
If with YOU only, as suggested at http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=9544011
the best help for aMSN and Mercury will be from the dedicated fora for those applications. Did you check? Have you tried everything they suggested?
Questions about BT service, connections, or setup should be directed to BT. However, you can use a test site like http://www.speedtest.net to verify whether you are getting the promised broadband performance.
I have also posted this info at your newest post on this same issue at

Webcam issue with Skype and MSN messanger on Satellite A300

Hi.
Well. Contacted Toshiba Australia. and got some information.
Well, the person I spoke to said that he would try to find the drivers on the Toshiba European website, which he did. And he said to uninstall my camera assist software.
So I did, downloaded the new version, installed it. But i am still getting problems, saying that windows vista home premium, a USB device, is not functioning and windows cannot recognize it.
And also, got a driver error still, saying to either open the driver software or restart your computer.
Went to the Toshiba forums, and had a look, did post on their, but could not seem to find any answers, and did that in the last week or two.
Just, want to use Skype and MSN messenger.
But if i cannot get these problems to be resolved, then no point in installing, probably will not work, and have not tried this feature out yet on my machine.
Any one had similar problems, with their Toshibas? and where do i go from here.
Really stretching my head and not sure what to do?
The guy said maybe to do a recovery disk, but do not really want to go down that road.
That would mean having to spend hours reinstalling everything, and I do not have really the time to do that at the moment.
Really busy at the moment. Can any one offer any other suggestions or where do i go from here?
Had this problem, when i got it out of the box, and purchased from Harvey Norman, Burnie, Tasmania.
Cheers Marvin.
ps: could if any one help, could they e-mail me at [email protected], in Australia, if they have the same problem and how they got around that one.!

What model Toshiba do you have?
Are you sure the USB device is the webcam? Have you checked Device Manager?
* Download the updated Chicony Webcam driver from http://203.56.127.6/driver_download/Public//p2_all/ChiconyWebcam_v1.7.175.0123.exe
* Install Vista Service Pack 1, or Vista Hotfix KB934374: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/934374 (KB934374 is included in SP1)
* Update your Messenger software (MSN/Yahoo Messenger, etc..)
* If you have another program that can use the webcam (Skype for example), make sure they are completely closed, and not sitting in the System Tray.
* Try closing the Camera Assistant Bar on the left of the Desktop.
* To stop the Camera Assistant software from running on startup, run Regedit and delete "Camera Assistant Software" from HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run \

Hi..can I use the iPad2 camera as a webcam in msn messenger please

Can I use the iPad 2 camera in man messenger as a webcam please

Which Msn Messenger app are you using? There are several in the app store. And does it support the iPad's camera? Info on the apps page should state that clearly if it does.

Using the webcam with MSN

When I bought my Macbook I thought I would be able to use the built in webcam on MSN Messenger, but after three months I am still failing to find a way... Is it possible, or is the webcam only compatible with iChat?
Thanks for you help!

there are a few ways for ichat... such as a .mac account (you have to pay as well as the other person needs a mac with .mac account too), you can use AIM on ichat.. and the other person (PC user) just needs an AIM account as well... there is a chat program called skype.. which you both would need.. and another one that i know is using jabber in ichat.. there are many steps to set up jabber to function as msn and you get to use the webcam function

Can you use webcam on msn?

i tried using webcam on msn but there is no link, does this mean it doesnt support it?

Welcome to Discussions, Simone17
MSN Messenger for Mac does not support video except via Office Communications Server 2007 (usually paid for by commercial enterprises rather than individual users.) However, even without the paid server, it is possible for you to use your iNtel Mac to video with your friends who use the PC version of the MSN Messenger family of apps. Here are a couple of ways you can try:
(1) Take a look at aMSN and Mercury
Either can do webcam video with your built-in iSight.
They work a bit differently, so use whichever you find easiest or most reliable on your MBA.
(2) As an alternative, because your iNtel Mac can use Boot Camp, VMware Fusion™, Parallels™, or VirtualBox to run Windows® software, you can choose which method you want to use, add the required software to your iNtel Mac (if you have not already done so), and then install and use the same Windows® Messenger application that your contacts are using to video chat with them.
The Windows drivers for your built-in iSight and your other Mac hardware are on the disk with Boot Camp so, after you have installed a compatible version of Windows on your Mac, you can install the iSight driver and use your built-in iSight if you like. If you need more help on this, search or post in Boot Camp discussions category
(3) If your friends are willing to try something "new and improved" (does NOT work with Messenger):
you can both install and try a different video chat app such as Google Talk or Skype.

Why is my built in webcam and mic on my hp pavilion dv6-6113cl not working?

why is my built in webcam and mic on my hp pavilion dv6-6113cl not working?

Enter the device manager and verify that the webcam is present and has a driver installed.
1) Test your webcam by using the YouCam software that was delivered with your notebook. (you should also be able to test it with MSN or Skype setup). You may have to uninstall it and then reinstall the software.

[MSI GT60 0NC] WEBCAM and Mic Problem

Hello,
I have a problem with my webcam and mic.
- People hear me from really far when I use skype even if i talk with a 1cm distance from the mic.
- The webcam is not detected by skype or msn. When I go to the device manager there is no (!).
Can you help me ?
Thanks
Teddy

Thanks a lot ! I have never noticed this webcam key (F6) !!!
I tried to boost up the mic but didn't work. I am trying to d/l the latest realtek drivers and I will let you know.

Internal Webcam and Microphone not working after Screen Fix

I own a HP Envy Spectre XT Ultrabook, and last week I tried to use the webcam and the microphone for the first time in a few months.
However I was shocked to find that Skype kept saying that the webcam was not detected. The microphone also could not register any sound.
Device Manager did not show any imaging devices or the webcamera, even after setting it to view non-present devices.
A check using msinfo32 did not review the webcamera either, and there were no problem devices.
Control Panel >> Sound showed that the Internal Microphone using IDT High Definition Audio Codec was enabled and working, however it could not detect any sound. All drivers are checked to be up-to-date.
I suspect this has something to do with the screen repair last month which a HP on-site technician came down to replace my screen, although I cannot be 100% sure. Although the screen is now working, the technician did not do a good job reassembling the screen - the bottom left corner of the screen cover has not be able to attach properly to the screen.
I have gone through my BIOS setup to make sure that there is no webcam disabled.
I have tried rolling-back and reinstalling the drivers for the microphone but it did not work.
I have tried uninstalling CyberLink YouCam (laptop preinstalled webcam software).
Please help, these two components are very important to me as I am going overseas soon. The laptop is still under warranty.

Hey ajun,
Thank you very much for the information!
For troubleshooting your Webcam, I would suggest taking a look at the document Webcam Troubleshooting (Windows 7). I would suggest the two options Video does not appear in your webcam software (such as YouCam, Skype, Messenger, ect.), and Webcam is not listed in Device Manager.
For your internal microphone not working either, please take a look at the document Resolving Microphone and Line-in Problems (Windows 7). From this document, I would suggest following the top two symptoms.
Please let me know the outcome of these troubleshooting steps.
Good luck, and have a great day!

If you want to connect and use an iPod on more than one computer you need to change the update preference in the iPod Summary tab to "Manually manage music and videos" and click Apply. In this mode you just drag and drop whatever you want to the iPod from either library. You can also access and play the songs on the iPod through the computer in manual mode so you don't need to have the songs physically on both machines (Note: iPod shuffles are only designed to be used with a single library or computer):
Using iPod with Multiple computers
Managing content manually on iPod
iPod 101: Fill 'er Up
Note: When changing from automatic to manual, check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button. "Don't" uncheck Sync Music in the Music tab, it will be unchecked by default when you choose the manual setting, if you uncheck it without setting the iPod to manual first you'll erase all the songs from your iPod
Something else to be aware of when using an iPod in manual mode is that the "Do Not Disconnect" message will remain on the display until you physically eject the device. In that case use Safely Remove Hardware icon in the Windows system tray on your desktop or check this link: Safely Disconnect IPod

How do I keep my Cox mail and MSN mail from all going into the same in box on Apple mail

I have a Imac and Mac Book. The Imac apple mail works great. I also have a Mac Book. The Apple Mail is set up the same as the Imac. The problem I have is that both Cox mail and MSN mail go into the same inbox on Apple Mail on the MacBook even though the accounts are separte. From what I see, the settings are the same as the Imac. I tried to reinstall the apple mail. No luck! Should I try again. Any ideas?

Go to settings>iclod>then mark "no" in "contacts" .

WebCAM and Fn+F5 or F6 does not work on T430 running Windows 8.1

I recently updated to Windows 8.1. I did not check the functionality of the Fn+F5 or F6 button back then. But I did run Skype two days ago with my webcam and that worked.
Then I ran windows and Lenovo system Update and updated all drivers except the Lenove Fingerprint, SHAREIT and the latest BIOS which are marked optional.
Now, no application can access my camera and the Fn+F6 does nothing.
I did go into the Windows privacy settings. Here Skype is on. there is no way to add apps, so e.g. I cannot add Teamviewer program or the Camera app.
I tried settings under Skype, but checking the webcam just makes Skype become unresponsive with a running circle. Same thing happens runnning Irfanview and trying to aquire a picture thought the webca,
I tried the Lenovo PC-Settings app. From the screenshots I think it is the old one I am getting. I can choose btw. Pointer,Wireless Power and location. Nothing about the webcam.
I tried stating it via the Lenovo Companion. Same problem.
In the process overview (Procexp from MS) I see Cammute.exe used by numerous processes
So, what can I do now to get them back?

I can't reproduce your issue. Definitely that CPU hanging is abnormal. I'd assume the cause is driver but you reinstalled that one. Perhaps some driver is located in the stack unproperly as there are too may components - system drivers, Lenovo PM driver, dependency settings, camera driver and settings, metro app... Also there is USB Composite controller the camera is attached to.
The only solution I see is ... delete everything I've mentioned above and reinstall them again using TVSU. Then install metro app.
Also in order to check USB driver influence I'd delete that driver too (delete USB composite controller in Device Manager). Reboot the system, Windows will find new component and install its driver. Do it before installation other components using TVSU.
Also try to connect USB devices (flash drives as an example) to every USB port and look at their behaviour.

FaceBook page and MSN home page do not load properly-no graphics are displayed

I recently uninstalled Microsoft Office 365 Home Premium Preview and since that uninstall, my Firefox browser has not worked properly. I have another computer with FIrefox and my Facebook and MSN homepage work correctly on that computer. However the computer on which I removed the Office 365 is the one that does not display any graphics and navigating those pages is impossible.

Thank you for posting a possible solution, however the problem persists even after unchecking the "Use hardware acceleration when available" box. Additionally, pages like the Yahoo and iHeart web page also do not open properly, yet if I go to my bank's online page it displays properly and I am able to log in and the pages all work correctly. (https://www.mygecu.org/)
I have included a screen shot of my facebook page and what it looks like when I log in.
