Z1 compact camera keeps coming on automatically

Hello,
I'm having an issue where the camera keeps switching itself on while I am using other applications and even when phone is locked and placed on table.
As you can imagine this is very frustrating, not only is it draining my battery but it makes tasks on my phone difficult... Taken me 3 minutes just to type the above as the camera takes over every few seconds. This has been happening for past 12 hours, not sure if it could be related to using under water a couple of days ago, maybe overheated as I'm in 30 degree heat, or maybe just a dodgy app is activating it in the background? I have restarted the phone and also the power and volume up button together but still having issues... Please help!!!

Check your camera button isn't a bit sticky or pressed down slightly - You may also wish to consider a system repair and if that fails then you will probably need to have your device inspected - Either return this back to the place of purchase or contact Xperia care http://www.sonymobile.com/global-en/support/contact-us/

IPhone 3G keeps coming up as camera and not syncing

My Iphone keeps coming up as a camera on my computer when I connect it with the USB cable and therefore will not allow me to sync it. It does not come up in Itunes at all and I have no idea what to do to get it back in functioning order. Does anyone know what I should do to fix this?

This is a issue with the driver for the iPhone "Apple Mobile Device". You will need to uninstall and reinstall iTunes as followed by the article to reinstall the driver itself unfortunately. With this process make sure your iphone is disconnected until iTunes is completely open after the reinstall or may come up again as a camera. This step is the only thing I have found to work successfully.

Green camera light on my mac air keep coming on

green camera light on my mac air keeps coming on

OK then are you on any web sites that have a video conferencing capability like Facebook, Google Plus, etc. They can use your webcam too.
K T is correct, when the green light comes on something is activating your camera and you can potentially be seen.

I have a black window that keeps coming up and telling me the various tasks that I am handeling. It came after opening a power point and now I cannot make it disappear. It frames all windows and programs that I open with a black line. Help please...

Go to System Preferences - Accessibility - Voiceover - turn off Voiceover. The shortcut is command-F5, so possibly you pressed that accidentally.

Virus? Cam light keeps coming on

I have a WebCam5.
For past few days my cam light keeps coming on, as if the cam was in use, followed by a warning 'beep' that i can't seem to find a reason for.
The web cam control panel does not start, but this is still concerning to have the 'cam on' light turning on and off by itself.
I thought it may be a virus, but i have run my norton virus checker, adware checkers, deleted the cam software and reinstalled it......nothing seems to work.... it has never done this in the few years that i have had it.
any ideas..........

You could very well be on the right track with the thought about the steam from your shower, but try a reset (home button & power switch till the gray Apple shows) anyway. I believe, I would allow it to dry completely first, power it off, then try the reset if drying doesn't fix it.

2. Set the date ahead by a few months
3. You should then be able to connect to the store

"Device can not be read from or written to" error keeps coming up...

I have recently updated to the 3.1 firmware on my iPhone 3G (after a couple failed attempts).
The problems seemed to start there when the update froze midway through and I had to try a couple more times. After I did and restored my settings, iTunes said that my backup file didn't work. I tried a couple more times to restore from the backup but ended up having to restore as a new device.
Now, as I try to sync all of my, well, everything, I keep getting an error message.
It synced all of my contacts, apps, calendar, etc., but when it gets to my music and videos it will sync a bit of it before giving me the error messages:
"Cannot sync ___, the required disk is not found"
and immediately after,
"Device can not be read from or written to."
I've tried syncing my iPhone many times, and these errors keep coming up.
What should I do?

Hi,
This article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1207 provides tips that will resolve issues causing this message to appear with iPhones and iPods.
Make sure the iPhone is directly connected to a high-speed USB2 port on the PC, using the cable that came with it.

Did it... When I clicked on "No name", a file folder came up and, I forgot to put MacBook Pro in the name bar... That was it! Maybe someone else can use this post Hopefully...

"An unknown error occurred (-50)" keeps coming up when downloading music purchase?

"An unknown error occurred (-50)" keeps coming up when downloading music purchase, 3 songs from the album came through but the last one is having problems. I've refereed to the itunes store FAQ and tried the solutions provided, but still not working?
The firewall on the mac is turned on, however I don't have any Web Accelerators, Ad Filters and I've just recently uninstalled my Virus Protection Software.
I'm not sure how to go about fixing this problem, and the solution provided by Apple doesn't seem to help me at all.
Does anyone know? Thanks in advance! (:

Disk Utility: Java VM Permission errors keep coming back

Hello everyone,
I have a problem with my permissions. When I run Disk Utility I always get the same errors, I repair them and DU says they are repaired. Yet, if I run Disk Utility again (even right after a repair), there they are again.
It's a never-ending story: I repair them, DU says they are repaired, but they keep coming back at every scan (even when I run multiple scan/repair cycles in a row).
Permissions differ on "System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.6.0/Classes/jconsole.jar ", should be -rw-r--r-- , they are lrwxr-xr-x .

Warning: SUID file "System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/ARDAg ent" has been modified and will not be repaired.
I checked them against the safe-to-ignore list on http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1448 , but except for the last message (the SUID ARDAgent file) the other alerts regarding the JavaVM Framework seem not to be safe to ignore at all.
Does anybody know how to repair these permissions permanently (not just for three seconds)?
Thank you,
Daniele

Aha. Well, too much caution is better than none. I might suggest you skip the defragging unless you use very large files - 20 MBs and larger - with frequent changes. Unlike Windows OS X defrags files under 20 MBs on the fly to minimize fragmentation. Maintaining an adequate amount of free space on your hard drive will virtually eliminate fragmentation. We suggest 15 GBs or 10% of the hard drive's capacity, whichever is greater, should be maintained as free space. Fragmentation can become an issue as the amount of free space declines. The risks become greatest when free space drops to 5 GB or less.
We recommend repairing permissions and the hard drive prior to installing any new system updates. Repairing permissions after the installation is also a good idea since it's possible that fixes to Disk Utility may remove extraneous but innocuous "errors" being reported each time you repair permissions.
Some other occasional maintenance can't hurt. See the following:
Kappy's Personal Suggestions for OS X Maintenance
For disk repairs use Disk Utility. For situations DU cannot handle the best third-party utilities are: Disk Warrior; DW only fixes problems with the disk directory, but most disk problems are caused by directory corruption; Disk Warrior 4.x is now Intel Mac compatible. TechTool Pro provides additional repair options including file repair and recovery, system diagnostics, and disk defragmentation. TechTool Pro 4.5.1 or higher are Intel Mac compatible; Drive Genius is similar to TechTool Pro in terms of the various repair services provided. Versions 1.5.1 or later are Intel Mac compatible.
OS X performs certain maintenance functions that are scheduled to occur on a daily, weekly, or monthly period. The maintenance scripts run in the early AM only if the computer is turned on 24/7 (no sleep.) If this isn't the case, then an excellent solution is to download and install a shareware utility such as Macaroni, JAW PseudoAnacron, or Anacron that will automate the maintenance activity regardless of whether the computer is turned off or asleep. Dependence upon third-party utilities to run the periodic maintenance scripts had been significantly reduced in Tiger and Leopard. These utilities have limited or no functionality with Snow Leopard and should not be installed.
OS X automatically defrags files less than 20 MBs in size, so unless you have a disk full of very large files there's little need for defragmenting the hard drive. As for virus protection there are few if any such animals affecting OS X. You can protect the computer easily using the freeware Open Source virus protection software ClamXAV. Personally I would avoid most commercial anti-virus software because of their potential for causing problems.
I would also recommend downloading the shareware utility TinkerTool System that you can use for periodic maintenance such as removing old logfiles and archives, clearing caches, etc. Other utilities are also available such as Onyx, Leopard Cache Cleaner, CockTail, and Xupport, for example.
For emergency repairs install the freeware utility Applejack. If you cannot start up in OS X, you may be able to start in single-user mode from which you can run Applejack to do a whole set of repair and maintenance routines from the commandline. Note that AppleJack 1.5 is required for Leopard. AppleJack 1.6 is compatible with Snow Leopard.
When you install any new system software or updates be sure to repair the hard drive and permissions beforehand. I also recommend booting into safe mode before doing system software updates.
Get an external Firewire drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
Backuplist
Carbon Copy Cloner
Data Backup
Deja Vu
iBackup
JaBack
Silver Keeper
MimMac
Retrospect
Super Flexible File Synchronizer
ynchronizer
SuperDuper!
Synchronize Pro! X
SyncTwoFolders
Synk Pro
Synk Standard
Tri-Backup

Continue enjoying your trouble free Mac. I've used them for over 20 years and love them. Currently have six of them all of which have never been a problem. Still have my 2006 MBP Core 2 Duo running good as new.

TS3694 iphone5 is in recovery mode and when i try to reboot it on itunes it keeps coming up with error 21

iphone5 is in recovery mode and when i up date it on itunes it keeps coming up with error 21.

These errors typically occur when security software interferes with the restore and update process. Use the steps to troubleshoot security software issues to resolve this issue. In rare cases, these errors may be a hardware issue. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.
Also, check your hosts file to verify that it's not blocking iTunes from communicating with the update server. See the steps under the heading "Blocked by configuration (Mac OS X / Windows) > Rebuild network information > Mac OS X > The hosts file may also be blocking the iTunes Store." If you have software used to perform unauthorized modifications to the iOS device, uninstall this software prior to editing the hosts file to prevent that software from automatically modifying the hosts file again on restart.
