X230T camera not working since Windows update (Windows 8)

Hi experts!
I have a X230T with a camera and Windows 8 installed on it.
The camera driver Lenovo offers for Windows 8 always was unstable. I had a lot of trouble with it already. But after a reboot the camera always worked again. Now, after a Windows 8 update (by Microsoft), the camera is not working at all anymore.
I already did an uninstall/install of the camera + cold boot, but every time i tried there is no camera function. So it has given up it's work completely. I am pretty sure that the camera is without any fault physically, but the driver just doesn't work anymore under Windows 8.
Anyway, Lenovo should have fixed the bad driver for a long time already, but now this is obviously a really major issue.
Any ideas?

Did you try a real reboot, not just turning off and on (totally different things)
A reset/reboot is:
Go to Home Screen
Press and Hold Home Button
Keep holding and press and hold Lock Button
Keep holding Both
You will see Slide to Turn Off (Don't let go to slide, just keep holding)
The phone will turn off (in time, but screen will look like it has some white lines)
Keep Holding
When you see the Apple Logo, you can let go.
Turning off via the Slide to Turn off while good and fine to turn off, is more like the Sleep Mode on a computer. Thus any locked up issues in memory remain when you turn back on. A reboot as described is like doing a real Turn off and Turn On on a computer.

  • Camera not working since recent update of itunes in November-shuts down pho

    Everytime I try to use my camera it either shuts down my phone or says I don't have enough room for pictures (which I know I do-because I have had many more-and I have deleted thirty pictures). Also my phone one day just would not turn on for a while after the update. Help!! I use the camera all the time and this is frustrating. any ideas? The screen looks funny after the I click camera and then it shuts down. I tried powering down and reseting.

    Try:
    - 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. It happened to some other users before iOS 7. Thus, it does not appear to be an iOS 7 problem.

  • Web camera not working after sowtware update

    HI, there
    My macbook's  (core duo)camera not working after installing show leopard, can you advice if I need some other updates or anything to make it work?

        Hi purduejatt,  I apologize for the delayed response as I understand how important it is to have a working camera!  I would suggest clearing the data in the Camera application.  Press Menu>Settings>Application Manager>All>Camera>Clear data.  Please keep me updated on the status as I would be more than happy to provide additional support.

    Hey Janetna5,
    Thanks for the question. Does restarting your iPad help the issue?
    Restarting your iOS device
    1. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider.
    2. After the device has turned off, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
    via iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430
    If not, is it possible that your side switch is toggled to mute sounds? See this resource for information:
    Volume buttons and the Side Switch - iPad User Guide
    http://help.apple.com/ipad/7/#/iPad9940e758
    Mute notifications, alerts, and sound effects. Slide the Side Switch toward the Volume buttons.
    The Side Switch doesn’t mute the audio from music, podcasts, movies, and TV shows.
    Thanks,

  • The icon on my message app does not work since the update, the recipient is set up to use it, my grandchildren

    The sent icon on my ipad doesn't work since the update to ISO 7.06 the recipients are set up to receive messages 

    You can try resetting your iPad by simultaneously pressing and holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple Logo. This can take up to 15 seconds so be patient and don't release the buttons until the logo appears.
    Try again to see if the problem persists.

  • Bluetooth pairing not working since Anna update

    Hi there, 
    after updating my N8 to the [awesome] Anna my bluetooth connection is not working properly anymore.
    - I cannot pair the phone from PC Suite -> phone; PC Suite respondes after timeout that the phone cannot be authorized. From the phone bluetooth icon I see that there is no connection attempt between PC and phone (although the phone is found when searching for bluetooth devices)
    - I can connect from phone to PC direction -> If I do so, I always have to authorize the pairing. For every new sync between PC and phone I have to authorize my PC on the N8 which is very annoying. 
    I've tried to pair my N8 on another PC and it shows the same behaviour.
    Any suggestions?
    PC Suite 7.1.30.9
    Windows XP SP3
    Office PC (No admin rights)
    Thanks, BR,
    Stephan 
    Nokia N8 dark grey, Symbian Belle

    Tried this but the issue is that the PC can't authorize the phone. The PC finds the phone as bluetooth device but the pairing results in a timeout because the phone does not respond. 
    Any other clues?
    Thanks 
    <edit>
    It seems like there are some bluetooth issues after updating to Anna since other users are reposting similar things (I assume the car audio issues might be linked to this issue too).

  • Adobe flash player is not working since i updated to Firefox 29.

    I can not play any you tube or other videos that require flash player. I updated flash an still no video playback since i updated to FF 29. Also, when i close browser and reopen it wont allow me because Firefox is still running and i have to close it first even though it is closed.

  • Screen rotation not working since last update

    I have had my galaxy s4 for almost a month and love it, but it recently had a software update and ever since the screen rotation is not working. The camera is always upside down. Occasionally if the screen rotates to landscape, it won't rotate back to portrait when I turn the phone back the other way. I have tried to restart the phone. I have unchecked and rechecked the auto screen rotate setting. Nothing fixes it. Any ideas as to what is causing this and how I can fix it?

    Thank you Klue for responding, but when I followed your instructions, I could not find a setting for Gyroscopic calibration. I researched it further, and learned that the latest software update for the S4 eliminated this setting.  If anyone else has suggestions, please help! I can't post photos on social media because they are all upside down. Help please!!!!

  • IPad rear camera stopped working since IOS7 update

    I updated the iPad to IOS7 as soon as the update became available, today was the first time I used the camera since the update and the camera no longer works. I am almost sure it is a software issue, the front camera will work but the camera app does seem to hang, it just produces a black screen when you go to use the main rear camera, if you quickly switch to the front camera that does work - you have to switch straight away though as the app just locks up and is unresponsive.
    I have tried everything within my power, reset all settings, reinstalled from a backup, set up as new iPad after restore etc etc. I have also downloaded a few third party camera apps from the App Store, but still the same problem, black screen and absolutely no way the main camera will work.
    There do seem to be other people with this issue, but not everyone. My iPad is a 32 Gig 4th Gen (A1458) and purchased in the UK November 2012. I'm no expert but maybe it's specific to part of the camera in my model and others affected. Or it's just a massive coincidence and it has developed a fault!
    My iPad is in pristine condition and is only used around the house, the camera hasn't even been used to a great extent, which is even more annoying.
    I just hope this is software related, I really don't want to part with it or exchange for an Apple 'refurbished' iPad - in the past I recieved a very substandard iPhone replacement which was eventualy resolved, but it was a great hassle. Our nearest Apple store is an 80 mile round trip.

    So it would appear this has been an ongoing issue through the testing stages of IOS7 too and no fix for everyone:

    Very annoying, and who's to say a replacement won't fix the problem anyway.

  • Facebook app not working since new update

    Ever since I installed the new update for the phone about 2 weeks ago my FB app won't work anymore. It pops up with an error message. It's the FB app that came with the phone. I can still access everything else. I'm also having more trouble with my advanced task killer since the update. Everytime I open it theres a ton of apps running that I haven't touched so I switched my settings to the "crazy" auto-kill level but it's still not working. Help please...

    For Facebook,  search the market for Facebook for Android.  This is the updated version of the stock Facebook.  It will save over the Facebook app that is currently installed(it won't erase your data) plus this will alert you when there are new app updates.
    For your tasktiller, Froyo has a decent task killer built in.  There are always small tasks that happen in the background for different apps.  I find that my battery lasts a little longer after I uninstall advanced task killer.
    I hope this helped. Have a good day.

  • App store login - not working since Mavericks update

    All,
    Since I updated to Mavericks, I find I am unable to log into the App Store. I get the login pane OK, enter my credentials, then get a spinner that waits... and waits... And never works.
    The Apple ID I am using is good - iTunes likes it fine, and I'm using it to post this. Just the App Store, and only since the Mavericks update; indeed I used the Apple ID to install Mavericks...
    Google tells me I am not the only one seeing this - but the suggested fixes do not seem to work for me. Do we know if a "proper" actual official fix wil be forthcoming?
    Indeed, do Apple acknowledge that some folks are having a problem with this?
    Anyway, in case anyone else stumbles onto this one:
    - There are many threads suggesting that deleting the network plist helps (though did not for me)
    - For some, deleting /Users/ian/Library/Preferences/com.apple.appstore.plist helps (though not for me...)
    - and so on.
    What "works" for me, albeit as a workaround, is to create a new user account on the machine, and use that to access the App Store - with the same ID etc., but this time it works. At least one time, so far!
    I'd much rather my regular account Just Worked.
    Any of the accounts (myself, wife, etc.) on the machine before the Mavericks upgrade however; they can not log into the App Store any more.
    No Idea why not; presumably "something" changed in the updates and that broke the login in some way; though why iTunes et al appear unaffected is less clear!

    Just an update to note that, after leaving it alone for a while, I tried the app store again today and it now works from my regular account once again.
    Which is nice...
    No idea what changed in the meantime, but at least it appears to be working.
