Green light for the camera lights up whenever I go out full screen

Noticed for the first time tonight-

Whenever I'm in mode full screen, be it an application or a video (youtube, Plex), when I exit full screen, the green on my Macbook Pro mid-2014 retina camera flashes market and stop once. It's very relative if it only happens to me:)

I am running the latest version of El Capitan. Everyone knows about this problem? It happens no matter what app I leave full-screen - the Green camera light flashes.

Mine is not flash, but if it only happens once, I wouldn't worry on this subject.

If you are still worried, one of them will fix any problem camera correctable user:

(1) If restarting your Mac does not solve your problem of camera,

(2) use http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2090 from Apple.

(BTW - troubleshooting section called an "iSight" camera.  However, after that article was published, Apple has changed the name of the built-in camera on the recent "iSight" Macs "FaceTime", then "FaceTime HD."  Whatever the name of your built-in camera, the same info and troubleshooting applies.)

Be sure to test several Apple app (photo booth, FaceTime, iMovie, QuickTime Player, etc.) in more than one user account.  Do NOT use the 'Guest' for this test account.  If you don't have more than one user account for testing, create one now.  If you need help, how is explained in http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201754.

A 'Standard' user account is all you need for the tests.

(3) If your camera will work correctly even with Apple applications, use OS X Recovery to completely reinstall your Mac OS since system recovery stored on your startup disk.  Don't bother test Skype or other 3rd party apps until you have your camera works with applications Apple.

(4) If none of the suggestions above user solves your problem, contact Apple or one of the Apple-Authorized Service Provider to have your Mac professionally repaired. Don't forget to back up your Mac and Deauthorize iTunes before the call for tenders for the service.

  • Need software/drivers for the Cam MiniDV DCR-TRV25

    I have owned one of these great little cameras Sony miniDV since 2003 - in fact I love it so much, I bought a 'reserve' on ebay a few months ago.

    The problem is when my laptop crashed, I lost the initial load of the original factory driver for the camera software... and I can't find the original anywhere drive. None of my web searches have found links to reload the driver.

    Even more amazing, I started using Sony Vegas Movie Studio clean - but it plain refuses to import video from his OWN camera - saying that it does not recognize the device.

    What are my options and alternatives for this?

    Hello. For your computer to recognize the device, if it was recognized before, would mean that either your use of Windows XP or an older operating system. Unfortunately, USB streaming is not supported by Windows Vista, Windows 7 and Mac. But using a different connection: IEEE1394 (i.link or firewire) connection it should work with these operating systems. Going up that probably you just need to install the driver for the camera, you should be able to get it here:

    http://eSupport.Sony.com/us/Perl/SWU-Li... l = DCRTRV25

    Select your operating system from the menu drop down and download and install the device driver (Driver USB for Connection). Make sure that the camcorder is not connected to your computer while installing the driver. Follow the instructions below the USB driver for the login page properly install the driver. Restart the computer and connect the camcorder. Complete the installation of new hardware found. Also make sure that your camcorder USB Stream function is set on IT. Use the application pre-installed Windows Movie Maker or compatible video capture software to capture video to off the Strip. I hope this helps.

  • How to change the Windows settings to allow for the camera driver must be installed

    My laptop doesn't recognize my digital camera. The correct software is responsible for the camera. An error message indicates that Windows will not allow access to the driver. How can I change the settings in Windows so that the driver for the camera is recognized?

    Help please!

    Hi Brian,.

    1. are you able to install all device drivers?
    2. which antivirus program is installed on your computer?
    3. don't you make changes to the computer before the show?

    The question seems to be as a program is blocked.
    I suggest you perform the clean boot and check if the problem persists. Clean boot helps eliminate conflicts of software that occur when you install a program or an update or when you run a program in Windows. You can also troubleshoot or determine what conflict is causing the problem by performing a clean boot.

    Hi rodaks, george

    Images II 7 d would be directly supported in Photoshop CS5 as requiring a new camera raw.

    So, you must download the free DNG Converter to convert these images to DNG and then open the DNG converted in Photoshop.

    See this link for download DNG Converter 9.0:

    For Mac: Adobe - Adobe Camera Raw and DNG Converter: for Macintosh: Adobe DNG Converter 9.0: thanks

  • The mouse cursor disappears when iTunes movie go full screen

    This isn't a question... actually I found a hack solution to this bug and I wanted to share it with other people having the same problem.

    Since the upgrade of the OS X El Capitan, I'm having a problem with my cursor disappears randomly. It is very repetitive if I start a video in iTunes with the enlarged screen and the cursor disappears. Indeed, after entering mode full-screen, iTunes mask the cursor of the mouse that is predictable. The problem is that iTunes may not reappear there again once, for example, when I go to another office for a temporary job.

    Move the mouse does nothing, escaping mode full screen does not come back. It is very annoying. Like I had never had such a frustrating experience prior to a new installation of El Capitan 10.11.3 and update iTunes to 12.3.3, I thought that this is due to the update to iTunes. So, I made another new facility of El Capitan, this time without updating iTunes. But the problem still exists. It is interesting that I had this problem on my MacBook Pro 17 "end 2011 and not with my iMac 21.5" mid-2009!

    After a little research, I found that this bug is not because of El Capitan, and happened randomly in the other years dating back to Tiger and maybe before.

    Only new change I had made in my MBP Preferences system , was in the part of accessibility, and it was related to Zoom. I had always used this feature, but I put the Zoom Style 'full-screen'. This time (after the new installation of El Capitan), I had changed to 'Picture-in-Picture'.

    I changed the Style of zoom "full screen" even once, and the problem resolved.

    If this does not work for you, can be debilitating, other options, such as 'Use keyboard shortcuts to zoom' or 'Use of scrolling with keys of change to zoom movements,' can solve the problem.

    We all know that it is a bug, and he has been there for a long time. I found that many people had reported it to Apple, but the problem persists.

    For those of you who want to use the zoom "Picture-in-Picture" style, or set the zoom style full screen does not solve the problem of their mouse disappears, I will mention a few ways to recover the mouse cursor. The following solutions are applied to a mouse cursor disappeared after entering the movie to iTunes (or any other application) full screen.

    1. Move the mouse until the switching Office brings back the cursor. Now, you can switch the desktop computer and do whatever you want. (It's easier work, at least for me).
    2. Use Alt - Tab to switch to another program; This will bring the mouse cursor.
    3. Press Ctrl + F2 to activate the Apple menu. (You can also move your cursor away to top left and click to activate the menu.)
    4. Press Ctrl + up arrow (or swipe up with 4 fingers on the touchpad) to activate the control of the Mission.

    You can also find other ways to retrieve the cursor of your mouse.

    Hope this can help you with the mouse pointer disappears.

    In MBP El Capitan the pointer of the mouse is where you assign to ' picture in picture ' or 'full screen '.

    If you miss your mouse pointer, accessibility-> display "Shake mouse to locate" check to find your mouse pointer. It should be there.

    Note: you have posted in the discussion of the Mavericks, should have used the ElCapitan discussion...
