Webcam not recognized by YouCam5-partially resolved

If your webcam isn't recognized by YouCam5 try this:
1-open Service Console
2-locate "Rilevamento Hardware Shell" (thai is the italian name of the service)
-stop the service
-start the service (better than restart)
-open YouCam5
your webcam will be recognized

Thank you for the help Jerry, but I already tried that download. After downloading, I recved the following message: “The setup has detected that version (1.07..) of Camera Assistant Software for Toshiba is already installed. This setup installs an earlier version of Cam Asst. Soft for Toshba. You will need to uninstall the previous version (17.193.0508L) before installing this version.”
I have not tried to find the earlier Cam Asst Soft for Toshba version to uninstall yet. Should I find the earlier version, uninstall and download this earlier version?

Built-in Webcam not Recognized by Laptop

My built-in webcam on my Satellite A305-S6905 is not recognized by my laptop!!!
I click on Camera Assitant Software to boot up the cam and get no where.
The error message reads: Webcam is either disabled or failed. Please check your webcam settings.
I have no clue where the webcam settings might be. I have downloaded the driver 2x from the Toshiba recommended downloads: Intel Chipset Software Installation Utility for Windows Vista (32/64bit) / XP(v8.7.0.1007; 04-13-201... I get a message that the download was successful. Then, I check the list of devices in the Device Manager. The Chicony USB 2.0 Camera software is nowhere to be found. I cannot select it to Update the software. I have restarted my computer 2x. No help.
Does anyone have any suggestions? My daughter is leaving for Hong Kong and Vietman and I would like to track her journey using Skype. Thanks, NC

HP 620 Notebook webcam not recognized

Hi,
My friend has an HP 620 Notebook computer, and the webcam is not and has never been recognized by the computer.
It's not listed anywhere in device manager, and despite attempted installations of multiple versions of driver software packages, neither of us can get it to be recognized at all. Any help would be appreciated.

ASUS USB2.0 Webcam not recognized by Skype 6.18.0.106

Hello Skype Community members,since I updated Skype to the latest version 6.18.0.106, Skpype says that no camera was found which makes me unable to make video calls. In the previous version my camera worked without any problems. As a workaround I was installing previous Skype version, but since Skype is smart enough to detect being not up-to-date, it kept logging me off. I would appreciate any ideas how to resolve my problem.My computer spec:
Asus N46VZ
Intel i7-3610QM
8GB RAM
Intel HD4000 & GeForce GT 650M
ASUS USB2.0 Webcam
Windows 7 Home Premium Best

Webcam not recognized

Hello,
I've installed version 4.6 but my notebook's built in webcam isn't properly recognized.
The webcam is listed in the setting's dropdown menu but after selecting it no image appears.
I am using a HP Elitebook 8460p.
I am quite sure that the webcam was working before.
Regards,
Phil
Edit:
Okay, the webcam video is being normaly transmitted it only doesn't appear in the settings screen as it should.

That doesn't appear to be a US model, and this is the forums for Toshiba USA. You may want to contact Toshiba in your region.

External Webcam Not Recognized in Safari after 10.6.8 Update

It works in Photo Booth, but both Safari and Firefox only show a USB Cam, but only use the built in iSight camera. The Flash settings only shows one cam and says it's the USB one, and iSight is no longer listed.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

Problem now solved thanks to doing a short search in Safari section of the Apple discussions
Nothing to do with 10.4.8 update - I must have accidently removed the forward / backward arrows from Safari - In safari Look in View ---Customise address bar and drag front back arrows onto toolbar - now solved >>

Re: post on Logitech C270 webcam not working with Skype

I am a windows 8.1 user and I'm using Skype 7.7 and it has all the updates that it needs as of right now and my Logitech C270 Webcam won't work with my Skype and only shows the loading screen. Can you explain to me why it won't work even if I've reinstalled Skype multiple times and restarted my computer as well? Thank you very much.

It seems that the latest Skype versions don't work with AMD Radeon R7 200 Series graphic card. Try to uninstall the currently installed version and install the 6.14.0.104 version using the download links provided here: http://community.skype.com/t5/Windows-desktop-client/ASUS-USB2-0-Webcam-not-recognized-by-Skype-6-18... Make sure to disable automatic updates:Tools -> Options -> Advanced -> Automatic updates ->Turn off automatic updates

Windows 8.1 not recognizing Webcams

Has this problem of Windows 8.1 not recognizing webcams been fixed yet?
I updated to 8.1 and my webcam was not recognised (Microsoft Lifecam Cinema) I thought my cam may be faulty so bought a new com (Logitech C270) same problem.
So finally I reinstalled Windows 8 at the cost of losing every thing on my hard drive. I want update as I liked most of 8.1 but will not until I can use my webcams.
I went through all the rigmarole of reinstaling drivers etc. So please dont give be the stock answer of installation as its already been done.
All I need to know is if Microsoft has fixed this problem or not.
Thanks
Colin

Hi,
With so many brands of webcams and cameras available, there are many reasons why something might not work. Each brand is different, so it's a good idea to check the manufacture's website for user guides and troubleshooting help.
I checked Windows Compatibility Center, found Logitech C270 Webcam is compatible with Windows 8.1. However, some people still had problem with Windows 8.1.
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/compatibility/CompatCenter/ProductDetailsViewer?Name=Logitech%20C270%20Webcam&vendor=Logitech&Locale=1033%2C2057%2C3081%2C4105%2C16393&ModelOrVersion=V-U0018&BreadCrumbPath=Logitech%20C270&LastSearchTerm=Logitech%2BC270&Type=Hardware&tempOsid=Windows%208.1
If you have any problem with Webcam in Windows 8.1. You can provide as more as details about your problem, then we can work together to resolve this problem.

My MacBook Pro is not recognizing my external hard drive. The hard drive is listed in disk utilities but an icon does not pop up and I cannot access the data. Is there any way to resolve this?

WE know Disk Warrior is more reliable, hence more useful, and should be in any disk mechanics toolchest.
For the record, I don't know anything of the kind. I have yet to see evidence that Disk Warrior is useful at all.
What I do know is that you seem to take every opportunity you get to promote it in these forums. Do you work for Alsoft?
Let me be a little more explicit. My opinion is that Disk Warrior is a waste of money if one has backups. If a journaled HFS directory is so badly corrupted that it can't be repaired by Disk Utility, then the volume should be reformatted and restored from backup, which has the same effect as running DW, but is probably faster and doesn't cost $99.

Mac G5 not recognizing webcam

I purchase a webcam for my mac G5 with a usb connector, but the computer is not recognizing the device. If someone has knowledge of what I need to do or any software I can download to fix this issue, please let me know. Your Help will be gladly appreciated.
Thanx
Jordan

Hi, and a Warm Welcome to Apple Discussions and the Power Mac G5 Forum!
Is the webcam recognised at all in Blue Apple menu > About This Mac > More Info > Hardware > USB (System Profiler)? It may be shown as 'USB Device'. If you connect and disconnect the webcam and then hit Command(Apple)-R(efresh), you should see if it is detected or not.
It seems many USB cameras do not have 'drivers' for OS X.
You could try
http://webcam-osx.sourceforge.net/
To use a USB cam with iChat there is

which lists compatible cameras

HP G60-630US Notebook - Webcam is unknown device + USB device not recognized pop ups [update]

My webcam and everything was working fine last night. I even used my webcam on the new yahoo I had installed a few days before. When I got up this morning and turned on my laptop, I kept getting pop ups every 3 minutes stating USB device not recognized despite not having anything plugged. I check out device manager and see an unknown device and Imaging Devices missing. When I try to go into youcam, it tells me that the cam isn't detected.
My laptop is HP G60-630US Notebook PC, Windows 7 Home Premium 64 Bit.
There were no changes made last night. Although after all this I tried removing all of the usb and rebooting, but nothing worked. I am still getting the frequent pop ups. PLEASE any help would be appreciated.
Update: I just ran the Bios update and instead of unknown device, it says USB composite device
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Try this
Use device manager to manually install the webcam driver, Open Device Manager, right click on the unknown image device and select "Update Driver" then "Browse my computer for driver software", then "let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer" then click the "Have Disk" button, then click the "browse" button, browse to "C:\Windows\inf" folder and find "usbvideo.inf" and select it , then hit OK, drivers should load.

Device not recognized (NEW KIND OF PB) (Video Blaster Webcam 5)

Hello
I have a Dell Optiplex GX0, Pentium-3 730MHz, 384 SDRam, 2 USB ports, Win XP pro SP2. All are fully operational. Newest Creative Webcam driver (2002 for xp, something like that)
My webcam 5 was ok until this morning
the day before yesterday: ok
yesterday : ok ----------- and then I installed Active Webcam 7.6 (webcam CCTV software)?I configure, etc. It works.
this morning: ok ---I change some configs :gain / frequence Hz / via the Creative config sofware, it's ok?----------then I use Active Webcam 7.6 : I change the frame rate configuration of this programm (5 +"apply", then 20 +"apply", then 5 +"apply" , 0 +"apply" ) It's okay agin?
In the end I decide to set?5 frames/second, AND THEN......BUG!!!!!!!!!!!Active Webcam 7.6?totally freezes so I kill the process via ctrl+alt+suppr
Even the Creative config sofware freezes when I want starting it. well, I kill it too.
I reboot, AND THEN.......crap.... I see the usb icon on the tray of the task bar?saying "DEVICE NOT RECOGNIZED" ......and the device manager of the system panel does not show my webcam 5 any longer.
........well nothing very annoying, I thought, it is worth rebooting, re-install creative software/driver with new/old versions, seeing some topics on forums etc...
NOTHING, I re-intall, plug-unplug before or after (re)installation, verify USB status via the device manager (it says ok, except for the "not recognized device" http://forums.creative.com/i/smilies...miley-wink.gif and via the BIOS (already switch on).
Can you help me please?Thank you for your advice !

Mmmmmmmmhmmmmmmmm?After many many attempt of pluggin/unpluggin, I achieve to detect and keep my webcam detected. It is working a little bit...... I mean everything is ok, but when I attempt to reach the "source" option of Creative Webcam Control, this programm freezes and the webcam LED becomes switched on for an unlimited period. The only way escape it is to plug/unplug again several time. I HAVE AN ANSWERABLE QUESTION NOW?: :smileyvery-happy:--How can I reset my "source" and other options of Creative Webcam Control in order to get the original automatic producer settings ? --Moreover, I fear the register still definitely keep a trace of my old/bugging settings (that's why I get problems even though I re-install). How can I erase Creative Webcam 5 settings and Creative Webcam Control settings in the register, before properly re-installing my new drivers+programs ? Ps : should I keep the old driver, or take the xp whql driver ? (the new driver might be a source of problem ?)
