Windows 8.1 64bit. Webcam works with "Camera" app ...

I've spent a few hours googling and trying out various things - all listed below. I give up - any ideas???
OS: Windows 8.1 64bit
Memory: 32GB
WebCam: Microsoft VX-7000.
As per subject - the webcam works with the "Camera" app but not with Skype for desktop or for Modern UI (or the Microsoft Lifecam software for that matter).
Already attempted:
1) Uninstall webcam drivers - download latest from microsoft (Windows 7) and install in Windows 7 compatibility mode.
2) Close (from taskmgr) anything that looks like it might use Webcam.
3) Run Skype for Desktop in Windows 7 and 8 compatibility modes
None of the above work. In Skype for Modern UI the webcam doesn't appear in the drop down in Settings - so I can't even select it. In Skype for desktops (version 6.11.32.102) the webcam is found but instead of image I get "Can't start video. Try closing other programs that might be using your webcam".
I see from a bit of googling that various people seem to have the same issue (i.e. Webcam works with Camera app but not Skype) - so I'm hopeful someone has found a workaround / fix to this issue and I've just not had the googling skills to find it
Thanks,
- Matt Symes

I have 6 USB3.0/2.0 ports on the rear panel of the motherboard and the camera is connected to one of these.
I also have 2 USB 2.0/1.1 ports on the front panel of the PC connected to the motherboard (it's an old PC case!) I've tried using these with the webcam and there is no difference (i.e. works in "Camera" app - not in Skype)
TI've generated and attached the log file as requested.
Thanks for your assistance in this issue.

OK - I appear to have resolved the issue. I restricted my google terms to [vx-7000 site:microsoft.com "windows 8.1"] Which uncovered this article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/933311 I noticed there were a couple of Windows 7 x64 specific registry settings that were mentioned so I checked these and they weren't as per the article. In fact - one of the Registry Keys was already used by other software "AI Charger+" which is some ValueAdd software that came with my motherboard. I uninstalled AI Charger+, uninstalled LifeCam driver. Reinstalled LifeCam driver in Windows 7 compatibility mode. Still not working. I returned to the registry and noticed the settings still differed from the above article. I corrected them (which involved not just amending Data but having to add new Values). I then disabled and reenabled the LifeCam from dvcmgmt.msc I was then able to get video from the webcam in the Skype for Desktop preview screen.

How to bring Windows 7 snap window to OS X to work with two apps/ docs side

I quite like the feature that windows 7 has to allow working with documents or applications side by side filling the screen. I know that i can resize each window but it seems a little fiddly and i'm thinking there must be a way to have it automated.
How can i get this feature. Could automator be used although i haven't used it before. Had a look at it before and find it a little confusing as i don't know how to use it.
Or are there any applications?
Would love your help.

your best bet is sending apple a feature request
I agree. That would be a cool feature.
Kind of like a refinement of what Spaces does. Being able to sub divide the screen into work areas.
With screens getting so large it would be very useful.
yes, but I wouldn't bet a lot of money on apple implementing it. OS X has its own host of features like spaces and exposé and implementing this one might be too much like copying Windows which they hate to do...

ITunes 11.1.3.8 in Windows 7, 64-bit, not working with Remote App or with Airport Express

The last time I tried to use both the Airport Express and the Remote App was probably about 6 or 7 weeks ago, and they worked fine. However, with the current version, none of it is working. I've tried restarting, and reinstalling iTunes from scratch. I've rebooted the wireless router. Both devices are connecting to the network, getting DHCP leases, and can communicate over the network just fine for other means. The Airport Utility can talk to the Airport Express over the wireless, and the iPhone can reach everything else as well.
If I plug the Airport Express into ethernet, iTunes still can't see it. But I can still talk to it with the Utility.
Everything seems to indicate proper networking, and yet neither of them can talk to iTunes anymore. What changed in the software? Everything is the same with my network.

Hi guys! I have just found a solution in a different thread - huge thanks to Toploader21120:
1) open control panel.
2)Choose Network and internet
3)Select the VIEW NETWORK STATUS TASKS under NETWORK and SHARING CENTER section
4) Choose the active network connection. It is usually name " wireless Network Connection 1" or something similiar.
5) Click the properties button
6) If the Internet PROTOCOL VERSION 6(TCP/IPv6) is checked, uncheck it, then click OK.
7) Click CLOSE
8) Restart iTunes and try to use the Home Sharing feature again.
Apple dudes, please, do include it in FAQ!

I recently bought some new albums and can't play them on my ipod

I just encountered the same problem on my 2 month old MBPro. I found a work around by changing USB ports. As for the actual cause or the reason why that worked, I dont know. The USB port I was using works fine with my phone or other USB devices.

Captivate 8 Continually Crashes: When trying to publish, When trying to use the Object Style Manager. Also it is blocked by Windows Firewall (adobecaptivatews) every time it launches. Working with Captivate App Packager the pane to import from Adobe Edge

Captivate 8 Continually Crashes: When trying to publish, When trying to use the Object Style Manager. Also it is blocked by Windows Firewall (adobecaptivatews) every time it launches. Working with Captivate App Packager the pane to import from Adobe Edge is missing, so not clear how to import. Overall it seems unstable. Am I doing something wrong? Trying to evaluate before buying so working on a trial version (14 days left), but a bit concerned with Captivate 8 Performance. Please help! :-

Hi Vikram and Lilybiri,
Thanks for your responses :-)
I'm working on Windows 8.1... I think that I may have found the issue... I was saving the file in a project directory rather than the default My Captivate Projects folder...
Perhaps Captivate was struggling to find resources it needed?
It hasn't crashed for a while now, though it is struggling - I'm working with a 54 slide PPT presentation that is linked and it takes a very long time to interact.
Sometimes it says that I've removed slides, which I haven't?
Best,
Christy.

ISight not working with other apps

I've currently been having a problem with my Intel iMac (specs in signature) since the iSight works with iChat (the green light turns on and everything), but it doesn't work with other apps such Delicious Library or Photo Booth. I also have a Windows XP partition on here, and it works just fine.
With Photo Booth, I just get a green screen and no message. On Delicious Library I get a white screen and no message either. I've tried deleting the .plist file for Photo Booth, but that hasn't worked. Any ideas on how to fix this issue?

If nothing above solves your problem, try all relevant suggestions from http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93240
If the problem continues, you may have a hardware or software conflict. Some users report that plug-ins installed by Delicious Library cause conflicts with iSight.
If your problem remains after trying all relevant Troubleshooting suggestions, uninstall D/L (or at least remove any QuickTime plug-ins D/L installs) to see if your system has a D/L conflict.

Can't sign in using any 3rd party email client with my iCloud account on any Mac. Tried every settings, My iCloud only works with Mail.app

Can't sign in using any 3rd party email client with my iCloud account on any Mac or any other Mac. My iCloud will only work with Mail.app. All the clients I tried work perfectly well as long as I sign in with somebody else's iCloud account. But mine won't work no matter the client (Postbox, Unibox, Airmail...) and no matter the computer.
I can access my account on iCloud.com, but I can't use email clients without getting error messages prompting me to check my password or login.
I was able to use those clients in the past but a couple of months ago I got logged out of Airmail and the issue started just like that!
I tried every possible mail server settings including the following:
IMAP information for the incoming mail server
Server name: imap.mail.me.com
SSL Required: Yes
If you receive errors when using SSL, try using TLS instead.
Port: 993
Username: The name part of your iCloud email address (for example, emilyparker, not [email protected])
Password: Your iCloud password
SMTP information for the outgoing mail server
Server name: smtp.mail.me.com
SSL Required: Yes
If you receive errors when using SSL, try using TLS instead.
Port: 587
SMTP Authentication Required: Yes
Username: Your full iCloud email address (for example, [email protected], not emilyparker)
Password: Your iCloud password

Those are the correct settings, and they work with any email client that supports Imap.
Try again.

HELP...Distiller works with all apps including office2007 with the exeption of publisher 2007

I have adobe 4.0
It worked with all apps before the office upgrade.
Now it works with everything except publisher 2007.
I don't get any error. The entire print box is grayed out.

Not sure. How are you trying to print? You may have to remind us what some of the options are. I have 4 versions of Acrobat installed on different machines, but not back to AA4. I might actually have access to that on another machine if needed, but don't have Office2007 on that machine. The combination is a bit strange and we might have to guess.
When you say it works, I am assuming you have the Acrobat Distiller printer (or what ever the printer was) listed and you print to that. If not, please explain exactly what you are doing. There are too many options, particularly back when a lot of folks use PDF Writer rather than the Acrobat Distiller printer that is preferred.

Hi im staying in UAE, why doesnt my interactive notification work with other apps like facebook?

why doesnt my interactive notification work with other apps like facebook?
its only working with the message app notifications.

Sounds like the iPhone is carrier locked with Vodafone and if so, it can't be used with another carrier's SIM card.
If so, only Vodafone can officially unlock the iPhone or send the unlock request to Apple.

PhpMyAdmin working with Server.app?

Has anyone had any success enabling mcrypt in PHP5.3.15 so that phpMyAdmin works while Server.app is running?
I've able to get it working under Snow Leopard, Lion and Mountain Lion but not while Server.app is running on by Mac Mini (late 2012) under 10.8.3.
I'm still under the 90-day telephone support, but Apple says this issue isn't covered. (Boo!) But for a mere $695 they can help me out with the problem that is related to a symbolic link (or lack thereof).
Has anyone gotten phpMyAdmin to work with Server.app?
Thanks in advance.

The solution:
Copy mcrypt.so from
/User/server/mcrypt/php5.3.15/ext/mcrypt/.libs/mcrypt.so
to
/usr/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20090626/mcrypt.so
Saved $695!

Multi-Touch Touchpad only works with Apple apps?

Hi, I was wondering if the touch gesture on the touchpad only works with Apple apps. I can not get the 3 finger swipe to work on Firefox but it works on Safari. Do you guys know if there is a way to get around this problem?

I can not get the 3 finger swipe to work on Firefox but it works on Safari.
Another reasons to go with Safari as your main Browser. It has ever improving performance too. Firefox is a bit out of date imo now (The Mozilla Foundation is actually going through beta testing and development of an improved browser), so offers little apart from customization of its appearance, not a factor ahead of Safari either imo since it has a neat professional appearance.
