Webcam shows always the same picture

I was wondering if anybody would be able to help me.
I have recently bought a laptop with a built in camera. However, one of the pictures I have uploaded onto my laptop has become stuck, so whenever I attempt to take a picture or a video by the camera, the picture comes up instead and I cannot take it off. Everytime I take a picture it takes a picture of the picture, and it also takes a video of the picture.
Please can anybody help me

Hi Emilie,
Sorry, but I never heard about this problem. This is really not known to me so I can only give you some suggestions that you should try.
Firstly I would remove the webcam driver and install the latest version. During that you should restart the notebook. The latest drivers you can download here:
http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com > Support & Downloads > Download Drivers
Make also sure that all Windows update are installed.
In worst case you have to make a new installation of Windows :(
By the way: Which notebook and OS you have?

Time machine is working but showing always the same -current- files in brow

Hi,
I'm running Time Machine on an external FW drive. It backups regularly.
I needed to restore backup of photo albums after a crash and I was only able to browse back and see the same album as the current one with no changes (over 2 months!).
Now I need a contact I deleted one week ago, I tried a search in the contacts, I tried to set the screen to show the surroundings contacts, in both cases, TM was able to scroll down to old backups, but only showed the same search (not able to change it or to click anywhere), or the same contact (no old contact appearing in between the two I was watching).
I tried to unselected then reselect the TM drive but no luck. I really need this contact back and TM is my only backup, the contact is as well deleted from my Mobile Me after a week.
Help much appreciated.
Regards.
B.

If you're talking about contacts in your Address Book, first try the things in #E4 of the Time Machine - Troubleshooting *User Tip,* also at the top of this forum.
If that doesn't help, see this thread, with some other folks that seem to be having the same problem: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2317886
It does show a workaround. If anybody has reported this to Apple yet, they haven't posted back, so we don't know if there's a better fix.

Bridge shows always the same JPGs files crippled

Hi together,
since yesterday Bridge shows *some* JPGs in a destroyed preview (or no preview).
Screenshot of the Bridge preview panel:
The curiosity:
I have deleted all the Bridge Cache (manually in "users/library/caches/...."), also the exported cache files in the affected folders.
Then copied the affected files to another folder and renamed them all, hope that Bridge "forged" some preferences I might have not deleted.
I started Bridge new with Option-key and reseted all preferences and all "Caches".
Result: => No affect: The previews are generated new in the same wrong kind as before. For some JPEG-files there are no preview rendered.
Of course these files are all correct, I can open it in Photoshop or in Mac Preview – but in the Camera Raw Window the files are show destroyed.
It drives me crazy because all other folders are not affected – and also no RAW-files are affected, so the ACR seem correct working.
Searching in the web brought no results for me in this special case.
Perhaps anyone of you have a clue?
Thanks in advance!
Juergen

What you show is NOT the Bridge Preview Panel but the Bridge CONTENT panel.
I'm flying blind here because you have provided no details.
BOILERPLATE TEXT:
Note that this is boilerplate text.
If you give complete and detailed information about your setup and the issue at hand,
such as your platform (Mac or Win),
exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop (not just "CS6", but something like CS6v.13.0.6) and of Bridge,
your settings in Photoshop > Preference > Performance
the type of file you were working on,
machine specs, such as total installed RAM, scratch file HDs, total available HD space, video card specs, including total VRAM installed,
what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far,
what error message(s) you receive,
if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them,
if you're having printing issues, indicate the exact make and model of your printer, paper size, image dimensions in pixels (so many pixels wide by so many pixels high). if going through a RIP, specify that too.
etc.,
someone may be able to help you (not necessarily this poster, who is not a Windows user).
a screen shot of your settings or of the image could be very helpful too.
Please read this FAQ for advice on how to ask your questions correctly for quicker and better answers:

IPhone 5s restored from 4s all but my photos and won't finish. Have tried reset and restore several times but always the same thing. Pat bottom of screen it shows downloading but no pictures transfer.

Have tried 4 times to reset, erase and restore but always the same result. Everything restores except my photos. When I go to photos at the bottom of the screen it says downloading but the pictures never transfer. Every time I turn my phone on it asks to continue restore but it never finishes. It won't let me upgrade to the latest iOS due to incomplete restoration.

How long has it been since you let the restore just happen? Sometimes photos are what takes the longest to bring back from an iCloud back up. I would recommend that you let it just keep restoring for about 2-3 days and see if more photos come back than what you're experiencing. Also make sure that you are connected to wifi as much as possible so that those photos can be downloaded faster. It is a waiting and being patient kind of thing. I did an iCloud restore from a backup that took 4 days to finish bringing down all my photos.

Every time I turn my mac off, the desktop background changes. It always returns to the same picture, which was the second or third thing I changed my desktop to after getting my mac.

Every time I turn my mac off, the desktop background changes. It always returns to the same picture, which was the second or third thing I changed my desktop to after getting my mac. I have background switching unchecked in my preferences, and I have never selected it as an option. Also, when I go to my preferences, it will show the icon of the picture I changed it to, even though the desktop itself has switched back.

I would start with some basic troubleshooting.

When I listen to music on Apple TV 2 my pictures from iPhoto come in, but always the same album (which I nevr asked for), always in random order and always in a different format. How can I control what is going on and choose the album myself.

When I listen to music on Apple TV 2 my pictures from iPhoto come in aafter about ten minutes, but always the same album (which I never asked for), always in random order and always in a different format. How can I choose a different album myself and control the order and format?

Thank you Winston for a helpful response and for reminding me of something which I found nearly a year ago and then lost (in my mind) because I did not use it. I am grateful for a correct answer but it still only achieves part of what I wanted.
I can now choose my photos, decide how long they stay on screen and choose one of a variety of presentations. Two things I still can't do.
One is to get it to play the photos in the chronological order in which I have carefully set them in an album; it still tends to be random and repetitive. The other is that I cannot get any of them them to saty on screen for more than about 20 seconds. I guess this is all due to the way Apple TV is constructed.
But still thanks, nevertheless.

Picture messages show the same picture in each message

I believe this started when my phone updated to 4.5.602.A957. I have 3 contacts I have noticed this with -- none are Verizon users either (the Verizon contacts appear to be functioning properly). All of the pics in the conversation are the same, and are of the last pic sent to me. When I click on the picture to view or save, however, it shows the original picture sent. There are 2 contacts of the 3 that show the same picture between them. Is anyone else experiencing this? Is there a fix?

Daniellelech, thanks for following up with what you've learned about this situation. I would suggest deleting the threads of people you notice this happening with, then clearing cache from the Messaging application. This will not erase your other text messages. Go to Settings>Applications>Manage Applications>All>Messaging>Clear data/cache. Try sending a picture message again to see if the issue is still occurring.

Iphoto events all showing the same picture

All my events in iphoto are showing the same picture and I have to click on each one to see what is behind it so furstrating can anyone help me

This is a software issue. There's no wear and tear involved here, so the age of the computer doesn't come into it.
Most Simple Back Up
Drag the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to another Disk. This will make a copy on that disk.
Slightly more complex:
Use an app that will do incremental back ups. This is a very good way to work. The first time you run the back up the app will make a complete copy of the Library. Thereafter it will update the back up with the changes you have made. That makes subsequent back ups much faster. Many of these apps also have scheduling capabilities: So set it up and it will do the back up automatically. Examples of such apps: Chronosync or DejaVu . But are many others. Search on MacUpdate

How come when I send a picture with iPhoto email it always send the same picture event when I choose a different picture until I log out from iPhoto

how come when I send a picture with iPhoto email it always send the same picture event when I choose a different picture until I log out from iPhoto

Why? Because something is wrong.
As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

How can I keep every single photo from saving to "collections""my photo stream""camera role" and just use one folder? And why do I have to delete the same pictures 4 times? In "collections""myphotostream"camera role""deleted photos" I need ONE FOLDER

im sick of deleting the same picture 4 separate times, I want to limit everything to one folder and only have to delete one time, how? Why does this have to be so complicated

Photos you take on your camera are in the Camera Roll and are like the film in a camera.
Photo Stream is an independent stream of photos from all devices that are logged onto the same iCloud account and that have Photo Stream turned on. Photo Stream photos are kept in the cloud for 30 days or up to 1000 photos, whichever comes first, so unless you have a particular photo you just don't want to stay out there for 30 days, you don't really need to delete Photo Stream Photos. They are temporary. Your device will continue to keep your Photo Stream photos from prior to the 30 day limit, but if you switch Photo Stream off in iCloud and then right back on, the only photos that will re-display in Photo Stream on that device are the ones that remain within the 30 Day/1000 photo parameter.
Collections is simply a single place which shows all of the photos that you have on your device. You do not need to delete photos from Collections. It is just a single place where you can see the contents of all of your albums.
Photos in albums that you have created on the device itself are tied to the photos in your Camera Roll, so if you delete them from the Camera Roll, it will tell you that it will also be deleted from an album.
Albums that you have sync'd from your computer should be removed the same way you got them there - by hooking the device up to a the computer you did the sync with, and un-selecting the album from the Photo profile screen.
So, really, there are only two places that you need to delete photos - Camera Roll and Photo Stream.
Cheers,
GB

Please can someone explain how to delete email addresses? I have people who when I type in their name it comes up with the correct email address but then when you hit return to confirm it promptly changes the name to someone else (always the same someone

Please can someone explain how to delete and email address that when typed in brings up one name but when you hit return to confirm it jumps to another name. I can't find them in my contacts list but they do come up when you type the first few letters of a name.
EG If I type xyz and the name of the person comes up, when I press return to confirm that's the one I want then it jumps to [email protected], always the same def address.
I can't fathom it out.
Thanks
Terri

Try this:
Start a new email. In the To address bar, type in xyz like you normally do, press return to confim, and when the address you want to remove shows up in the address bar, move your cursor over the address you want to delete.
A small triangle next to the name will show up. click on it, a drop down menu will open, click Remove from Previous Recipients List. Then do the drop down menu again and Remove Address.
Good luck.

My images will not show in the Finder Pictures folders, but just display as jpeg thumbnails. I have to open each one to see what photo it is. This has just recently started to happen.

I made sure the 'Show Icon Preview' box was checked. This is about all I can do, really, Frank, as i don't know enough about the workings of these machines to start fiddling about.
Strangely the images show as previews in some folders, yet not in others, even though they come from the same sources (my camera and my phone).

Every time when I restart iTunes, always the same songs "gathering gapless playback"...

Every time when I restart iTunes (latest version on iMac Snow Leopard), I have always "gathering information for gapless playback" and that with always the same 181 songs....
What am I doing wrong???
Please help

JPHP,
It works...
After couple of hours, I've changed all mp3 files to new one and delete the "bad" ones...
Now still "gapless playback information" but only for 4 songs that it shows up and immediately is gone... no time enough to see it...
If some one can tell me where i can find a log or something else, please tell me...
Thx JPHP... For me it solved my problem...

TableModelEvent is always the same - one cell or entire table changed

Why does JUTableModel fire always the same event, if you change a single cell, or entire table structure changes.
Event always looks like this:
first row: 0
last row: 2147483647
type: 0
column: -1
source class: oracle.jbo.uicli.jui.JUTableBinding$JUTableModel
I need to distinguish between a single cell change and entire table structure change.

Thanks for getting back at this.
Unfortunately I get a 0, when I try to reproduce your solution. Of course, I am using the German version, but it should be the right formula.
When I leave out the $-signs in the search array I get a 0. See second picture.
Am I doing it wrong?

I am receiving updates everyday for creative cloud, always the same updates (sometimes even two time

i am receiving updates everyday for creative cloud, always the same updates (sometimes even two times a day . Is there a way to stop that?

Checked out that link and everything seems to be in order on this machine at this time.
I only have CC installed on this one machine, not even my secondary machine like is permitted. it seems odd that I'm asked to re-accept the Licence Agreement as often as I am. If I had to guess, it's almost every week, if not multiple times some weeks, that all the software will decide I should have to view the licence agreement.
Edit: I've never had any noticeable "errors" activating or anything like that. I just get asked to do it quite frequently.
This activation screen isn't too annoying (it involves clicking one single button), but like I stated earlier, if I'm trying to launch the software by double-clicking on a PSD, AI, PPROJ, AEP, etc... that file will fail to open.
I feel like that's probably not really a bug, but it is frustrating, since I did launch the application with the intent to edit that specific file I tried to open.
Again, something that you guys may consider working on.
Another annoyance is that: agreeing to the licence agreement is a per-application task, so if I see that Licence Agreement dialogue window by opening Photoshop (for example), I know that every other piece of software I have in the suite (Illustrator, Premiere, After Effects, Audition) will be showing me that screen on it's next launch. Probably deliberate for legal purposes that I can't just agree once for the whole suite, but heck, it would save me a lot of minor headaches if it was a unified agreement.
