WVC54GCA Firmware Upgrade Desktop App Stopped Working

Hello,
I recently updated the firmware on 2 of my 3 WVC54GCA cameras to the latest version "v1.1.00 build 02".  The cameras flashed fine and still have network connectivity and everyting appears fine.  The desktop "Internet Home Monitoring Camera" sofware has stopped working for those two cameras.  The third camera still works great!
The software detects the cameras and lets me put in the necessary settings; however only shows a black video window.  After going through the setup they cameas are listed in the camera status window, but the little view eye is not "checked" green.
HELP!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Resetting to factory defaults and doing a power cycle did work.  Thank you for the tip.  It was a little bit of work to re-configure everything, but it was worth it in the end. 
I had also tried installing the LinkSys One Surveillance Utility as it seems to have a bit more functionality than the Home Camera Monitoring Utility app; however that didn't work with either firmware version so I am back to the Home Camera Monitoring desktop app that they came with.
Thanks

  • The CC Desktop App stopped working today (Mac)

    I'm on a Mac running 10.8.5. I had a notification in my menu bar that there were CC updates, when I clicked on it the app opened for about a second then crashed. No error message. I have no Adobe processes running at all. I spent over an hour online with Adobe support which got me NOWHERE but angry and wanting to go back to CS3 so I don't have to deal with buggy crap.
    Yes I have renamed all the OOBE folders. I have unistalled and reinstalled at least 3 times now. Tossed all the old App Manager folders.
    Anyone know whats going on?

    Hi heather.white,
    Please enable root account and check whether the apps are working there: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11331 .

  • Mail app stopped working after upgrade to Mavericks

    Dear All,
    I have updated from Mountain Lion (Macbook Pro 3,1, 256SSD) to Mavericks, and mail app stopped working.
    That means - when I click the icon - the app does not work.
    I can see that it downloads mail - as when I click it I receive notifcation that it has downloaded some mail, however I cannot open window. Sometimes I manage to open it, but it is totally unresponsive - I cannot change or click anything in it.
    I have tried repairing disk permissions but without any success.
    Moreover if I run mail app and try to click "new message" from the top bar, the window that appears is somewhat mixed with my wallpaper backround (I can see fragments of it).
    Please help me, as I had there a few gigs of precious mails that I don't want to lose...
    Thank you in advance!
    Olek

    Do a backup.
    Take notes of all account information or take screen shots. You may need to set the accounts up again. Quit Mail.
    Copy the line below.
    ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
    Select Go/Go To Folder from the Finder menu bar. Paste the line into the window. You won’t see it.
    Move the folder com.apple.mail to your desktop. You must move the entire folder, not just the contents.
    Relaunch Mail and test. If the problem is solved, recreate any required Mail settings and import any emails you want to save from the folder on the desktop. If the problem remains, return the folder to where you got it replacing the one that is there. 
    Information learned from Linc Davis.
    If you prefer to make your user library permanently visible, use the Terminal command found below.
    Show User Library Directory in Mac OS X 10.7 Lion & 10.8 Mountain Lion
    You might want to bookmark the command. I had to use it again after every update. I have also been informed that if you drag the user library to Finder it will remain visible.

  • After installing version 5 upgrade to my Iphone 4 all the apps stopped working.

    After installing version 5 upgrade to my Iphone 4 all the apps stopped working and I cannot reinstall them at the Appstore giving me a message that I have already purchased them. I can see all the apps, click on them, but none of them will open. How can I make them work again, since the Appstore will not allow me to reinstall the apps? The only apps that are working are the ones pre-installed by the upgrade.

    Try downloading any free app using the App Store on the phone.

  • CC desktop app stops launching @ boot-up & Adobe Tech Support can't fix it permanently. Now what?

    Problem: Adobe Creative Cloud desktop app stops launching upon boot-up and the CC icon does not appear up on my iMac's desktop menu bar at top. And whenever I loose that, I can't open my CC apps.  Our friends in India seem eager to help and always manage to stumble onto a solution, (each time through a different process, it seems), but that lasts for only 2 or 3 boot-ups before it quits working again.
    When I try to manually launch the "Adobe Creative Cloud" desktop app (by double-clicking it in my Applications folder), its red icon appears on my Dock and bounces up and down but does nothing more. My Force-Quit utility shows it as "not responding" so I have to force quit it.
    My case has been elevated to Tier-2 Support but they call outside of the agreed-upon hours so I'm not here. My only recourse is to call them back, but that only gets me yet another Tier-1 technician and their limited troubleshooting playbook. I did get to talk with a Tier-2 technician once, but the results were still the same:  Manages to restore it, but after just a few boot-ups the Adobe Creative Cloud app stops launching again and I can't use my Creative Cloud tools: Ps, Ai, Id, Pr. (And leaving my workstation on all the time isn't an option.)  What DOES keep working without fail is Adobe's monthly hit on my credit card.
    Has anyone else experienced this and managed to permanently solve it?  How?  I'm running a slightly older OS-X 10.7.5 and wondering if that could be a factor. Thanks for reading this and for any help you can offer.

    Hi TWalkerArt,
    Could you please create a test account and see whether the apps are working there: http://support.apple.com/kb/ph4600

    Remove the application,  connect the device to Nokia suite, go to 'my stuff' where you'll find all your previously installed applications.

  • Remote Desktop Connection Stopped Working when Disconnecting

    Hi I have a fresh clean install of Windows 8.1. Whenever I RDP into another Windows 8 machine... upong disconnecting I get the error: "Remote Desktop Connection Stopped Working"
    I have tried not mapping to remote printers, or drives (smart cards etc.) and it still persists. When I remote to Windows Server or Win 7, it does not happen.

    Thank you

    FYI, same issue here, Windows 8.1 on ThinkPad W520 (upgraded from Windows 8).
    Even without Fingerprint Manager, and having uninstalled ThinkVantage Password Manager as well, still crashes.  I also tried the:
    Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
    but no luck, my mstsc.exe is still crashing when the remote session window is closed.
    Any ideas?  Happy to upload/provide more details, here's the Report.wer contents from

  • All third party apps stopped working (crash at launch)

    Ok, so there's a BUNCH of people having the exact same problem as I do (search this forum or Google with the title of this post). And I'm posting this in iPad but it does happen on iPhone too. Summary :
    Often after an iOS update (but not always) third party apps stop working. When started, they flash open and then just quit.
    Apple built-in apps keep working fine.
    NOTHING solves the problem : hard reboot (home+power until reboot), deinstall+reinstall one/all apps, restore the iPhone/iPad, buy a new (free) app from the store to "reset" software authorization, de/reauthorize computer, reset password from app store account, deinstall app and then reinstall using the iPad directly (not via iTunes), etc.
    I have one iPhone 4 and one iPad with this issue.
    Oddly enough, on the iPad, only apps that have recently been UPDATED crash. Apps that were present and left alone on the device keep working. On the iPhone, there was an iOS update so everthing was reinstalled and therefore doesn't work anymore.
    Strangest thing : reset the device to make sure nithing is open in the background, launch an app, app crashes and returns to springboard, double click "home" and... tadaam, the crashed app is in the list of open apps. On the iPad, 4-finger slide does even go to that app's screen (which is pitch black).
    As I said, 30 minutes of googling revealed at least 50 identical cases. All seem related to iOS 5.1. My iPhone rune iOS 5.1.1 (that was the upgrade) and my iPad runs iOS 5.1 and I'm NOT doing the update until I can solve this crazy thing.
    Please, all, HELP !
    Thanks in advance.

    Please, Alan, I know my message might be a bit long, but do read it! I DID try that and absolutely everything else that was mentionned in the other posts about this subject. Nothing works. And it doesn't work for the others either, not just me.
    The only thing I can think of right now is to put the iDevice in DFU then make a clean install and configure it as a new iThingy. This looses all stored data and config so it's a pain in the a... and I won't try it unless I'm pretty sure nothing else can be done. And I'm not entirely sre it'll work, either…

  • Why do some apps stop working after update to iOS 6?

    I notice one of my apps stopped working after the iOS 6 update, in particular Uno HD, which I paid $5 for.  Why did this happen?

    I had solved the problem by installing the free app, which seemed to reset something, then I deleted the free app, and the paid version continued to work until the next day.  I was going to show one of my friends the game, and then it once again would not open- the same problem was back, as soon as I went to open it, it crashed back to the desktop without opening the game.  I had to re-install the free version again, and for a while, neither version would work, but then after a while, it started working again.  I guess I have to leave the free app installed or I won't be able to use the paid version of Uno.
    EDIT
    Just checked again, took the Uno app out of resident memory by double-pushing the home button and holding the app icon til it starts to shake, and then hit the minus symbol, which deletes it out of resident memory.
    Went to open it again, and it of course crashed back to the desktop again.  So there is some issue with it that is making it unstable.
    I have to keep pushing on either one of  the app icons continuously until one of them starts, and then the other one will start.
    Gameloft needs to do an update.

  • Blackberry Desktop Software - Stops working at the end of synchronization

    During synchronization, the same handful of calendar conflicts come up.  After clearing them, and at the very end of synchronization, I get a pop up that "Desktop Software stopped working"...info fades out and the only option is to hit a CLOSE button which shuts down the software. 
    I no longer receive the synchronization report and although most data does sync, I am trying to determine the cause of this.
    This is the only forum I can find.  I do not see a Blackberry support anywhere...

    Hello,
    What is the version of the BlackBerry Desktop Software?
    Have you tried to uninstall the Desktop Software and download and re-install the newest version of BlackBerry Desktop Software?
    BlackBerry Desktop Software:
    http://ca.blackberry.com/apps-software/desktop/
    610_b038_multilanguage.exe
    I have edited the post, the previous post indicated "Device" Software which was a typo for "Desktop" Software.

  • Several apps stopped working -- won't run

    Macbook 2GHz 2GB
    OSX 10.4.10
    Hi all,
    Today I've had several apps stop working -- meaning, when I run them, their icon will bounce a couple times and then disappear, and the program never runs.
    Googling led me to try deleting pref files -- one program had a pref file, I deleted it but no difference. The other apps didn't have any pref files.
    I've repaired disk permissions. I've uninstalled/reinstalled each program.
    I've been using them with no problems until today. The Macbook did try a software update today, but kernel panicked in the middle of installing -- not sure if that could cause it. I've tried Software Update again but it finds nothing.
    Any help will be VERY much appreciated. I've never had this happen before, and can't seem to find much about it.
    Thank you!

    Tutorial: What to do when a Mac OS X application will not launch
    It’s a frustrating scenario: You click on a regularly used application only to find that it will not launch – either bouncing indefinitely in the Mac OS X Dock or simply providing no feedback whatsoever. There are a number of potential solutions for this problem, ranging from simple and relatively quick to more tedious.
    Update prebinding Many cases of application launch-failure can be resolved easily by simply updating prebinding, via the following steps:
    1. Log in as an administrator
    2. Open the Terminal (located in Applications/Utilities)
    3. Type: sudo update_prebinding -root / -force and press Return.
    4. When prompted for a password, enter your admin password, and press Return again. The process may take a few minutes, and you may see various messages flash by. The process is complete when the Terminal returns to a normal prompt.
    5. Type exit and press Return.
    6. Check for the capability to launch the problematic application.
    Kill process in activity monitor Killing an application-related process via Activity Monitor (click the item then press the 'Quit Process' button) can allow proper application launch. This is especially applicable in situations where a restart cures problems with application launching, as the offending process(es) will, of course, be killed by the restart process.
    Launch Activity Monitor (located in Applications/Utilities), then find the process associated with the problematic application, then quit it and attempt re-launching the applications.
    Delete appropriate .plist files A non-launching application can be the result of a corrupt or otherwise defunct associated .plist file (for more information on exactly what a .plist file is, see this series of articles)
    Most of the preferences files that we will be talking about are stored in a folder named Preferences, and located in the Library folder of your home directory, e.g.:
    * ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist.
    Go to the ~/Library/Preferences folder, and search for any .plist files that may be associated with the application you are having trouble with. Drag the .plist file(s) [many applications have more than one associated .plist file, so be careful to scour for all of them] to the Desktop, then re-attempt launching the application.
    You can also use an application like Preferential Treatment to check for corrupt .plist files.
    Re-install the application Try re-installing your application from its original media or download source.
    If an Apple application or component is not launching properly, you might need to restore it from the Apple installation discs per the instructions in our tutorial "Re-installing Apple applications from a Mac OS X disc/update package using Pacifist."
    Clearing caches Try using a utility like Tiger Cache Cleaner, OnyX, or Cocktail to perform series of system cache deletion routines. Go from light, to medium to deep (the ordinal levels are defined differently in each application), checking to see if your afflicted application launches properly after each.
    Also, check the following folder for application-specific cache files that can be deleted, or at least temporarily removed:
    /Library/Application Support (look inside the folders here for files that end with .cache, and delete them)
    Make sure permissions are correct A range of permissions issues can effect Mac OS X applications, causing them not to launch.
    In these cases, the first thing to try is a disk permissions repair routine using Apple's Disk Utility (located in Applications/Utilities).
    Failing that, startup from your Mac OS X installation disc (insert it, then restart while holding down the "C" key). After the startup process is complete, go to the "Utilities" menu and select Disk Utility. Click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button.
    In some odd cases (usually after a backup or when transferring backed up data back to a startup device), permissions on the "MacOS" directory (the directory that normally stores the executable binary in a Mac OS X application) can become incorrect.
    In order to fix this problem, use the following steps:
    1. Click on the afflicted application to select it in the Finder
    2. Either click the application while holding the control key, or use the "Action" menu (the icon looks like a gear) to access the option "Show Package Contents"
    3. Open the "Contents" folder therein, and then find the "MacOS" folder
    4. Modify the permissions on this folder to give it "execute" permissions for all users. Do this by opening the Terminal (located in Applications/Utilities) and typing the following command (don't press return afterward):
    5. sudo chmod 755
    6. After typing this, drag the "MacOS" folder to the Terminal window -- its path should appear. Press return, and you will be prompted for your administrator password, which you should enter.
    The "MacOS" directory should now have read, write and execute priveleges for the owner, and read and execute privileges for the group and others.
    Check CoreAudio As noted in Knowledge Base article #301658, some Apple applications might not open fully or at all if the Digidesign Core Audio driver has been installed as part of a Pro Tools version 6.9 installation.
    Apple says to follow these steps if you are affected by this issue:
    * Updating your Digidesign Core Audio driver may resolve the issue. You can find the latest versions for Mac OS X 10.3 (Panther) and Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger) at http://digidesign.com/download/coreaudio. If that doesn't help, continue to step 2.
    * Open Audio MIDI Setup (/Applications/Utilities).
    * Click the Audio Devices tab.
    * From the Default Output pop-up menu, choose Built-in Audio.
    Check for errant plug-ins Some application launch failures can be caused by problematic plug-ins or other add-ons. Safari and other Web browsers are notorious for suffering from this issue, as are some other extensible applications like iMovie.
    Check the following locations for any recently added files, or any files implicated in error messages generated when you attempt to launch the problematic application:
    * /Library/Internet Plug-ins
    * ~/Library/InputManagers
    Re-apply the Mac OS X combo updater Try re-applying the latest Mac OS X combo updater from Apple's software downloads page. Doing so can resolve issues with system components or delete specific files that can resolve application launching issues.
    Create a new user account Try creating a new user account, and check if the application launches under it. If so, a user-specific corruption issue is likely at play -- see the above sections regarding .plist files and caches. See our tutorial "Common workaround -- create a new user account" for more information.
    Archive and Install As a last resort, try performing an Archive and Install process, which will retain some user settings but otherwise leave you with a fresh Mac OS X installation.
    Also, check with the application's developer for compatibility notes regarding the version of Mac OS X you are running, and revert to an earlier iteration if necessary.

  • Fixed spooler subsystem app stopped working

    Hi All,
    I had "spooler subsystem app stopped working..." and found solution that may help you to fix your case.
    I don't know some how vista turn off LDP port after installing new printer driver and leaves only Internet client port only. That why the printer spooler service failed to start. Solution is:
    1. Go to Programs and Features in Control panel > click Turn Windows features on or off
    2. click + sign of Print services
    3. Select LPD and LPR. You should remove Internet Printing Client. > restart your PC to ensure there is no error of spooler service.
    4. Add your printer driver again.
    It worked for me. Let try.
    Chan

    Usually the driver crashes and preempts the print spooler. the famous HP LJ 1020 made an expert on printing, because the driver is faulty. read on... IF you have the HP LaserJet 1020 then the fix is found all the way down on this reply.

  • Revomobile app stop working

    I upgraded my i phone 5 software from from ios 7 to ios 8 and my Revomobile app stop working. I use this app to watch my business cameras from my i phone. It always worked with ios 7 but it stopped after the upgrade. I contacted Revo and said that Apple is working on it and they promised that they should fix it by Friday-yesterday-. I contacted Apple  and said the same thing. Does anyone know something about this so he can help me. Thank you

    Hi, rahimfrommacon.  
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    It does look like they updated this application to support iOS 8.  If you have updated this application and still are experiencing this issue, I would recommend going through the steps in the article below.  If the issue persists, I would recommend contacting the developer of the app.

  • TS1702 downloaded apps stop working

    Every 2-3 weeks all downloaded apps stop working. 
    I have to deleted one of the downloaded apps, reinstall that app, then everything works for another 2-3 weeks.
    What is happening and how can it be fixed for good?

    Guys a hard reset fixes this. This usually occurs when the last third party app you used didnt close right. You must reset the device to fix this. If this doesnt work then the apps may of been corrupted and you will want to download them again for free. Yes this is a pain in the *** but what can you do about it? Not our faults Apple rushed this firmware out.
