Why will my HP TrueVision HD webcam work for like 3 minutes in a somewhat dark room?

When I use skype, the webcam truevision works for only like a minute when using enough of the light source round me. After that minute is up te screen fades to darkness and I cant see anything. How can I fix this so that it just stays steady?

premiere elements will not accept ADOBE ID that worked for photoshop elemets 12

katmama
From one of your prior threads, you appear to be working in Windows 8.1 64 bit with your Premiere Elements 12.
Where are you when you say that Premiere Elements 12 will not accept your Adobe ID - are you at the Sign In dialog step of the end of the
installation? Whatever the location, what is being rejected or not recognized specifically - can you tell if it is the Adobe ID or password?
Are you working with antivirus and firewall(s) disabled?
Please check out the following troubleshooting steps and let us know if any of them worked for you

One possibility is that your hard drive is failing. If you don't have backups of any data you don't want to lose, that needs to be your number one priority. Get that data backed up. Once you have done that, you can start exploring options.
Open Disk Utility, select your hard drive and take a look at the SMART status:
If it says anything other than Verified, the drive is definitely failing. If it says Verified, all that means is that it isn't failing in a way that the drive can detect.

The wi-fi button on my iPad 2 is not functioning. I have tried resetting the network, worked for 5 minutes. Am not able to connect to internet to reset to factory. What else can I do?

The wi-fi button on my iPad 2 is not functioning. I have tried resetting the network, worked for 5 minutes. Am not able to connect to internet to reset to factory. What else can I do?

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at
http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are drooping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.
Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.

Airport express works for 1 minute then stops

I came back from vacation. restarted my mac mini + airport express + ...
Internet worked for 1 minute then stopped. I unplugged cable modem + airport. Restarted them. Internet worked for 1 minute the stopped. After it stopped working the light on the airport express stayed green. Computer was still connected with a strong signal.
I plugged the ethernet cable into mac and internet worked fine without issue.
I did a hard reset of airport express and had same issue as above.
Is my airport express shot? Why does it only work for 1 minute or so and then stop?

After waiting a few days, plugged in airport to try one more time and it now works fine. Not sure what the problem was, but it has had no issues since letting it stay unplugged for a few days.

Ever wonder why carriers don't send text usage alerts for your minutes?

Ever wonder why carriers don't send text usage alerts for your minutes? They do it for data but not minutes.

I don't know about anyone else but I check my usage almost every day. If you're with AT&T you can download the "my AT&T" app that will allow you to check your minutes and data usage. You can also send a free text to *MIN# and *DATA#, and you will get a free text back telling you how many minutes and how much data you've used (as someone else has already said). I'm sure Verizon has a comparable service. These days I'm checking more for my data usage than minute usage, as I have a considerable amount of rollover minutes built up with AT&T. I'm on wifi most of the time but I still like to keep track of the data, just to be sure I'm not going over.

Hello King Cutway
If you are having issues with the functions keys, then check the settings in System Preferences > Keyboard and look to see if Use all F1, F2, etc. keys as standard function keys is unchecked so you can use it properly.

My new Logitech 4 port USB hub worked for 5 minutes.

After I had the message that a USB was drawing too much power and the hub from the hard drive would be de activated I bought a Logitech 4 port USB hub.
This worked for 5 minutes and now I get either the same message or nothing at all
Could someone please tell me what to do?

Click on the Link supplied above and follow the Steps...
Before doing that... and this is not a patronising question... but I have to ask... you have checked that the Wall Outlet you are using for the Hub is working...
Also, when you did the Restart did you Disconnect the Hub...

Will the Apple Digital AV adapter work for the DISH Remote Access app?

I have a Sling adapter hooked up to my 722K DISH receiver, and the DISH Remote Access app installed on an iPad 2. Great app, btw.
What I'd like to know is if I'll be able to use this AV adapter to watch my recorded shows on a TV. Hotel room situation, and I would just like a larger screen every once in a while.
So far, my understanding doing some searches here is that the adapter will work for Netflix, but won't for HBO GO (bummer).
Since I'll be phasing out Netflix soon anyway, and this adapter isn't going to work for HBO GO content, I am just wondering if it will for the Dish Remote Access app before I bother to buy one.
If not, is there something that would be a better choice? I did look at the component and composite cables too, but couldn't quite make up my mind.
Thanks for any input.

iphone4 dont support mirror so only apps which support the normal tvout will work on iphone4 witht he hdmi out setup

Will a G3 14.1 LCD work for a G4 14.1

I need to replace my LCD and was wondering if a 14.1 in LCD from a G3 would work for a G4? Are all the connections the same. Same pin count for the ribbon cable?
Thanks for any help.

No such thing as a "generic" or "compatible"LCD for any ThinkPad, I'm afraid, and the LCDs are generally not interchangeable between different series, with a couple of exceptions, but not for a T6x unit.
You could use the SXGA+ LCD, but you would need a different LCD cable.
If you have the FRU from the original LCD, you may want to Google a bit for it...
Good luck.

George

Mac pro will not reconize external speakers. quit working for no reason

mac pro does not reconize external speakers. quit working for no reason

Try an smc reset.
Check Audio MIDI Setup (in Utilities).

My html snippet has only worked for 2 minutes in three months.

Warning: Long, descriptive story up ahead.
I bought my macbook pro complete with iLife 08 bundle software in January and eventually I became a little bit more advanced so I wanted to try using "html snippets" in iWeb.
That's when I discovered it was not working on my iWeb. (I have the latest version of iWeb 08 possible). Also, this is of less concern but my navigation menu is not displaying either-- meaning on the face of my webpages the individual Page Titles are not displaying "Main", "About Me" when I choose "display navigation menu" option from the inspector-- all I get is a big stupid empty space. And yes, I have all the options check to "display this page in my navigation menu" or some such.
So I drove over to an applestore (which took a whole freaking day of my time) and they opened up software updates in the store. This was around the whole MobileMe thing, so I got that upgrade too. And magically my iWeb's html snippets started working for the first time ever! I almost cried, but let's face it, there are more beautiful and spectacular things in life worth my tears of joy. Anyway, I indeed was really happy because I thought this was going to be the beginning of me being able to html snippet youtube videos directly onto my site and do other such amazing things!
Then today when I got home, I'm back to the same stupid non-working html snippet feature again!!!!
I can describe the html snippet issue a little bit: In my non-working html snippet version, a little transparent box appears when I try and open up html snippets... in this little box I can't type anything. How iWeb should work is that this black box should appear where you can type in your code and then a separate little box below the black one works on displaying what you coded.
One maybe important thing I noticed is that... You know how when you open up iWeb, in the left column by your sites there are/were those blue globe .mac picture? Well, after the MobileMe upgrade in the store (just yesterday actually on the 27th), those blue globes turned into blue squares with white clouds. So I think the conversion from .mac to MobileMe helped fixed my bugs? Because today my html snippets doesn't work again and I'm back to the .mac blue globes. I want those little blue squares with white clouds again if it will fix my issue!!
HELP, please. Thanks!

I would look at several things. I'm assuming it shows fully charged after you charge it and that this is a new iphone and not used. Check your location services under Privacy: Location Services for apps that use your location. If you have apps always checking your location it can use power. Turn off any you don't really need. You can always turn them back on.
Check you wifi settings. Turn off the " Ask to join other Networks". If you are driving down the road it will be looking for other networks to join.
Turn off any apps running in the background that are not needed.
Restart your iPhone after you have done this. Hopefully this will improve your battery usage.

Wireless: Works for a minute then full signal with no data.

My wireless connection works for a few minutes but then suddenly I can't transmit any data, though the signal shows full strength.
Turning Airport off and back on fixes this...
The problem is that I'm having to do it literally dozens of times every session at the laptop, once every couple minutes. There is no way to tell it is "jammed up" without having a post fail or a page not load. Most videos on YouTube wont buffer all the way. It's really a pain in the neck. None of the other computers in the house are having this issue.
This just started happening a week ago. Running the new MacBook Air 13", fully updated, on an AT&T Uverse-based home network. Ideas?

It could be the DNS settings your ISP is using. Mac's tend to be more selective about DNS settings than other computers. If you are not familiar with DNS here is a MacWorld article called DNS Troubleshooting that will help explain. To change your DNS setting please do the following:
1. System preferences
2. Network
3. Click Advanced
4. Click DNS tab
5. Click + sign
6. Add 208.67.222.222
7. Click + sign
8. Add 208.67.220.220
9. Click OK.
10. Exit System Preferences
11. Try out your Mac and report what happened.

ITUNES ONLY WORKS FOR 5 MINUTES AT A TIME

iTunes stopped working about a month ago, but then I fixed it using the msconfig solution. It worked for a while now I have the same problem, i can fix it, but then iTunes only works for about five minutes before closing. This is the only way I can fix it; first, by re-installing iTunes, then, doing the msconfig solution and restarting the computer. Then after about 5 minutes it closes. To open it again I have to go through the whole proccess. I cannot figure out how to permanently fix it.

Sounds like you have some malware that is interfering with iTunes.
What do you have to turn off in msconfig to get iTunes working?
It's pretty involved to remove it. If you have purchased security software like Norton or McAfee, I suggest contacting them for help.
Otherwise try this
