Hello everyone,
I have noticed and issue with my new MAcbook pro.
My webcam was turning off and on several times during a 15 video call.
It was not really disturbing from the viewer side, but I saw that the green light of my webcam was turning off and off spontaneously.
please note: I use the latest Skype and its a new computer.
Any idea what could be the reason?
Thanks in advance!
Well mine does exactly the same thing when I'm talking with one person so hardly a bandwidth problem - never happened before. Running Windows 7 and Skype 7.
However, the light on the webcam stays on - it's just not being picked up by Skype.

Am I to understand 15 participants in a multi part video chat? sounds like a bandwidth issue.

Real player plugin won't work anymore? How do i fix it? Videos will only play when the plugin is turned off and i am unable to download videos?

the download video box does not come up anymore and the videos do not play?

Probably due to the RealPlayer Browser Record Plugin being blocked by Mozilla due to the huge number of crashes it has been causing over the last week and a half, or so.

Try a reset or restore

In updating my iPod to 6.1.2, I received an error during the update. Now, ipod is not rebooting. Has screen showing usb to Itunes picture.   Turning off and back on it goes back to this picture. I don't know how to reset so that I can restore my backup

In updating my iPod to 6.1.2, I received an error during the update. Now, my ipod is not rebooting. It continues to display a screen showing usb to Itunes picture.   Turning off and back on, it goes back to this picture. I don't know how to reset so that I can restore from my backup.
A similar thing happened when I updated the ios on my ipad. But, I was able to reboot, and then restore from backup.   How can I get my ipod to reboot and allow restore when it is not even recognized as I reconnect to my computer?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Skype 7.5 turning off and on one speaker

Helllo
i use a asus g750jz raptor with windows 8.1 i have been using older versions of skype because everytime i update it messes up with my speakers and i can`t find and older version now.
the issue is that if skype is open (on a call or just the software open) it turns off and on one of my speakers, if im playing a game, hearing music, youtube or skype call it keeps turning one of my speakers off and on.
i know is a skype problem because it stops if i uninstall it and a few months ago i found an older version (i don`t remember which) but today i forgot about the issue and update skype to 7.5 and got that problem again.

From what I can find, WOL is not supported by VirtualBox.
If you'd like to remotely restart or shut down the computer, you can use the
Shutdown command from command prompt, or if you run
Shutdown -i, you will be given a GUI for the shutdown application.
Hope this helps..

Cannot restore my iphone 4 at first error 2001 and after that error 2006. During loading for restore my iphone turns off and error 2001 or 2006 shows again

Cannot restore and turn on my I Phone 4. It only turns on with itunes. But if i want restoring itunes error 2001 or 2006 showed. During restore my phone turns off and it started again and error showing again and again.

Error 2000-2009 (2001, 2002, 2005, 2006, 2009, and so on)
If you experience this issue on a Mac, disconnect third-party devices, hubs, spare cables, displays, reset the SMC, and then try to restore. If you are using a Windows computer, remove all USB devices and spare cables other than your keyboard, mouse, and the device, restart the computer, and try to restore. If that does not resolve the issue, try the USB issue-resolution steps and articles listed for Error 1604 above. If the issue persists, it may be related to conflicting security software. If the errors persist on another computer and known-good USB cable, the device may need service.

How do I turn off automatic sing in Skype?

How do I turn off automatic sing in Skype?
i work with Windows,Mac& ipad..

Hi and welcome to the Skype Community,
On Skype for desktop (Windows, Mac) just use "Sign out" from the "Skype" menu once. This will take you back to the Skype sign in screen. Next time you sign in from there just make sure you have the "Sign me in when Skype starts" checkbox not checked.
On Skype for iPad:
Open the Skype app settings from the iOS settings menu. I think there should be an option to disable automatic sign in.

IPod Touch 2nd Gen (8gb) Loads to Apple symbol, then turns off, and repeats.

Okay so I went into my settings to do a reset on the iPod Touch. I did the reset and now all the iPod does is load the the black screen with the Apple symbol, stay on for a few minutes, turn off, and repeat.
When I connect the iPod to ANY computer with iTunes, it doesn't even show the iPod as connected. I honestly do not know what to do.
Does anyone have a solution on how to fix this?

- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on

Did you by chance not have the iPod connected to a charging source during the erase? It can take hours ao a 1G and 2G iPod and fully drain the battery before it is complete.

HT4623 How to turn-off tap display during passcode entry

I recently bought Iphone 4s. I like the phone as such but one thing that I want to change is tap display while entering the passcode on lock screen. I don't want to see which keys I am entering as this can put my phone on risk as anyone close to me can see what keys I had pressed to unlock the phone.
Please help to let me know "How to turn-off tap display during passcode entry" on locked screen.
Thanks for the answers and suggestion.

This cannot be done. You should simply hide the display from others' view.
iPhone 5S allows you to use your fingerprint instead of the passcode.

Airport turns off and won't turn on again

Hello everyone,
I'm having problems with the Wi-Fi on my 15" MacBook Pro (from 2011) running Mountain Lion. Since last week, the wifi only works for 5-10 minutes after booting the computer. After that time, Airport suddenly turns off, and can't be turned on again (I've tried to turn it on both using the drop-down menu at the top of the screen and by going into System Preferences). The only way to turn it back on is to reboot the computer, but then the story repeats itself and the wifi drops after 5-10 minutes.
I have now experienced this at a number of different network locations, and in all cases the other computers on the network have had no problems at all. This problem started suddenly last week and is not happening after a hardware or software update.
I have tried resetting the PRAM and the SMC, but it hasn't helped. I have also tried installing Mountain Lion again using the Recovery Partition, but it didn't help either. I have also tried renaming my network location and changing the value of the wifi MTU as some have suggested for similar problems, but it doesn't help.
I have searched for other discussion threads on this, but have not found anything on exactly the same problem, and have not found any solutions that help. Would you think this is a software or a hardware issue? Does anyone have an idea how to solve this issue?
Best regards,
Dadi

Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store to have the machine tested.
Back up all data on the internal drive(s) before you hand over your computer to anyone. If privacy is a concern, erase the data partition(s) with the option to write zeros* (do this only if you have at least two complete, independent backups, and you know how to restore to an empty drive from any of them.) Don’t erase the recovery partition, if present.
Keeping your confidential data secure during hardware repair
*An SSD doesn't need to be zeroed.

Iphone5 will go to starter screen but then will turn off and then repeat

iphone5 will go to starter screen but then will turn off and then repeat

Howdy AJBA,
Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities.
To troubleshoot this issue where your iPhone will get to the Apple logo and then restart again, please follow the directions outlined below.
If your device gets stuck during startup
When starting up, you might see the Apple logo or a red or blue screen for a long time, or your device might restart again. Try these steps:
Make sure that you have iTunes 12 or later on your computer.
Put your device in recovery mode.
When you get the option to restore or update, select Update. This will reinstall iOS without erasing your data.

Pc turned off and wont start up again.

Help
Ive ben using my pc for about a year with not to many problems.
But I was using my computer yesterday and it just turned off and wont power up any more. I press the on button and nothing happens at all, no fans, not cd drive no nothing.
My first thoughts are maybe its mobo or psu related. From looking at the back of my computer i can see that my LAN lights are powered (altough my router says its not, wich it usualy does when it is off) .
And if i unplug my pc at the mains and plug it back in then my webcam (which is usb powered) makes it's 'i have power' noise and my ram (which has status lights) power up for a few seconds).
My spec is:
Msi 875p NEO FIS2R
intel Pentium 4 3ghz
1024 (2*512 mb) Crucial xms)
enermax 550w psu
thermal take xaser iii case
160 maxtor Sata HDD
Can any one help? cheers

Ok, I've tested the switch, thats fine.
Then i took mobo and psu out of case and tested it with just ram and cpu. This resulted in nothing, the fans would like rotate 2cm.
I reset the bios/CMOS. but this didn't appera to do anything.
I reseated the components that were in there (CPU and RAM) but this sisn't change anything.
Then I removed everything so it was literally psu and motherboard. and just tested them on their own. Still would not power up. The fans would spin for about a second and then i could smell a bad smell, but i could not identify it.
I guess this narrows it down the motherboard or psu now. What do you think? and ideas?

LG Ally It won't stay turned off and texting.

I just bought two Allys. The one I gave my son will stay turned off until he decides to turn it on. Also, while it is charging, his screen goes into sleep mode. The one I have will not stay turned off. If it is turned off and I plug it in to charge, it will turn back on. I then turn it off again. It is off for about 3 seconds, then turns itself back on again. The whole time it charges the screen NEVER goes into sleep mode. If I turn it off and leave it (not charging), it periodically will sound as though it is coming on again and the screen will light. Within about 5 seconds, the noise stops and the screen again goes blank. Have any of you had this happen to yours? I think I should take it back. What are your thoughts?
Also, I can receive texts, but it will not send them. Any thoughts?
I appreciate all the help I can get. This is my first Smartphone, and......it doesn't seem to be very smart so far.

Sorry about the problems you are seeing. I'm surprized you're Son's Ally is turning off during a Charge, normally they stay on. The Screen should go into Sleep mode at the interval you set, like 30 Sec, 1 Minute, so on but the phone is on with the LED Lite displaying the charge status, Red, White, or Green. What do you have your Screen time out set to??? Look under Settings>> Sound & Display>> at the very bootom of the menu is Screen TImeout..
The Ally you have that keeps power cycling sounds like there is an issue with it. I know you are running Android 2.1 but what version of LG Software do you have in the Ally? It should be version 'ZV6' to find this out,, Look in the settings> About Phone>> and at the very bottom "SW Version" It should end with 'ZV6"
With the Txt messages, we have seen some issue we think are with Android delaying messages... Not stoping them but some times they come in groups... Is this what you are seeing? Are there any Errors? Have you checked with Verizon to make sure your settings on the network end are correct?
SOmeone mentioned reseting the phone... You can do this if you like, it will erase all of your Personal Data and any Apps you have added, but it will restore the phone to the Factory defaults, just like it came out of the Box... I have seen this clear up some oddities...
Let me know what I can do to help.

HT4859 I turned off my iPad during the process of restoring it, will this mess up the iPad or my apps?

I turned off my iPad during the process of restoring it, will this mess up the iPad or my apps?

If you turned it off in the process of doing a full restore, yes. If you turned it off in the process of restoring it from an iCloud backup, it depends. You may be able to turn it on and resume the restore; otherwise you'll have to restore from the backup again.
