Why does the flash go off by itself when not using camera

Flash goes off by itself for no reason when not in camera mode

I've never seen that on my G3.  I wonder if you have some app installed that uses the flash as some sort of notification.

  • Why does my ipod turn off by itself and then turn back on after up grading to ios 7

    why does my ipod turn off by itself and then back on after upgrading to ios 7

    Try the standard fixes:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up                                                                
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.             
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • Why does the Flash player update push me to install McAfee Security Scan Plus?

    When Flash asks me if I want to update, it takes me to an Adobe page to update it, but there is a checkbox already checked to install McAfee Security Scan Plus. I already have an anti-virus program installed. Why does the flash update page assume that I want to install this software?

    Generally this occurs because there's a third-party plug-in that affects how the JavaScript on the page got executed.  Ghostery, AdBlock Pro and NoScript are common candidates.
    Under normal operating conditions, you should see an opt-out dialog like the one below.  While cost-recovery measure are a reality for a product that is tremendously expensive to develop and distribute free of charge, the intent is absolutely to allow you to opt out.
    If you want to avoid the download and installation experience for Flash altogether, switch to a browser that includes Flash Player as a built-in component, like Google Chrome or Internet Explorer on Windows 8 and higher.

  • Why does the music go off when the screen light is off?

    Why does the music go off when the sceen light goes off

    This is usually an indication that your headphones/earbuds are not plugged all the way in.  Double check the connection and make sure that no metal from the jack is showing.

  • Why does the flash update install mcaffee with out asking!!!

    Why does the flash update install mcaffee with out asking!!!

    Because McAffee pays to have their installer "bundled" with the update. It's not right, and the "blind installer" in the update (with no opt out) has been documented and reported.
    You can download the Adobe Flash Player installer directly (without any bundled installers) by clicking one of the following links.
    Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)
    Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)
    Bookmark those for future use.

  • Why does the internet on my new macbook pro not work when my old macbook's does?

    Why does the internet on my new macbook pro not work when my old macbook's does? I'll have to turn the wifi off and back on multiple times to get the internet to continue to work on my Macbook Pro (running mountain lion but did it on lion also) when it runs fine on my old white Macbook (running lion). Is there something I can do to fix it or do I just have to deal with it?

    Here is your fix .. I have uploaded my properly calibrated profile get it here :
    http://www.megaupload.com/?d=YAJL6A9X
    And it should go to your user folder/Library/ColorSync/Profiles
    if you have one already you can rename either one ..
    and then go to system preferences - displays - color to select the profile .
    you will get rid of the blue tint while keeping correct color and gamma
    This is for the newer 2010 MBP's altho if same display was used might also give good results in the previous models as well . .

  • Why does the apple tv light come on when I'm not using it?

    Why does the Apple tv light come on when I am not using it?

    my atv1 does that sometimes
    I'm 90% sure that it's because it crashed and rebooted
    it's basicly a computer and sooner or later a computer will
    crash unless rebooted

  • Why does the "fix" for firefox copying and pasting not work?

    I did the fix a few times and restarted firefox, with no success. Also, I installed the latest version of firefox and it is slower now. I have to use firefox for school, otherwise I would just find another way.

    In what way is Firefox slow?
    Is this all the time or only with loading web pages?
    What kind of fix do you mean with: ''Why does the "fix" for firefox copying and pasting not work'' ?

  • Why does the iCloud Control Panel say "Install Outlook to use Mail, Contacts, and Calendars?"

    I've just successfully installed the iCloud Control Panel on my PC (runs with Vista). Why does the iCloud Control Panel say "Install Outlook to use Mail, Contacts, and Calendars?" The Bookmarks (with Safari) and Photo Stream options are active, but the Mail (with Outlook), Contacts (with Outlook),and Calendars and Tasks (with Outlook) are not. I'm using Office Outlook 2007. I used to be able to synch my iPhone with my PC's Outlook through iTunes without any problems. Any help would be appreciated.

    I meant to say when in the control panel!

  • Why does the new Itunes freeze/do nothing when i click on my Ipod touch icon ?

    Why does the new Itunes freeze when i click on my Ipod touch icon to manage my content? All buttones, video, tv, info, music, they all do nothing. i was only able to sync by bringing up the old sidebar. Is this a software glitch, or am i missing a step? I just spent two days reorganizing and labeling all my music for the new itunes, and had to restore my ipod so i could upload my new library. i know what is supposed to come up when you click on the music or info tabs, but nothing happens, only the eject button works. whats going on?

    The screen is telling you to connect the iPod to your computer with iTunes with the USB connector.  iTunes should open and give you instructions as to what to do.  Whatyou need to need to do is to restore the iPod via iTunes.

    Why does the pen tool remove previous lines??
    Video here:  http://youtu.be/8AmPUkD88h0 
    It removes the hairline on the face, when I add more anchor points. Why? And how do I correct it?

    The ins and outs of the new and changed behaviors in the re-engineered pen tool have been disussed here on this forum and I'm sure a little detour to the help files will also shed some light on this...

    I had the same issue when I had created Flash Paper items. I had found the a solution on my opinion.
    http://www.eolsoft.com/freeware/flash_movie_player/
    you actually need a Flash Movie Player and not Flash Player. they are different. the only issue is that Adobe does not support this anymore.
    so what I did is placed the EXE file of Flash Movie Player found on the link above on my server, made a note to my viewers that Flash Movie Player is required to view the documents.
    I found this solutlion when my boss asked why he could not view any of the Flash Paper Documents
