How can I fix my webcam?
OK, so I'm having this very annoying problem with my webcam that's happened for a long time. I have a Toshiba laptop with Windows 7, in case that helps any. It's blurred, I see nothing and I can't also use MSN, Skype and even take pictures. Help, please! Thank you! :)
Hi Caitlin,
Welcome to the Microsoft Community and thanks for posting the question.

It would be great if you could answer these questions to help you further.
1. do you receive an error message or error code?
2 have you made changes on the computer before this problem?
This problem may occur because of hardware parameters or webcam software.
Try the following and see if it helps.
Method 1:
I suggest you install the latest drivers for the webcam and check if it helps.
Method 2:
Try to disable the webcam and then turn it on and check if it helps.
a. open the Device Manager.
b. click on imaging devices.
c. right-click on the Webcam device.
d. Select Disable.
Note: Try the steps up to the c and select on to activate the webcam.
Keep us informed on the status of the issue.

I don't know if this is the problem, but it is something that must be correct establish a secure connection:
Open Date and time preferences system, Date & time tab. Make sure that it is set to automatically set the time.
Alternatively, make sure that your date/time is correctly set to the second.
Another thing to try is to restart your modem and router.

Thanks for help. Kevin
First (and easiest) is a reboot or a forced reboot:
Restart your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch - Apple Support
Next (and more radical) would be a restore from a backup, then restore it like new:
Restore your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch from a backup - Apple Support
Use iTunes on your Mac or PC to restore your iPhone, iPad or iPod settings - Apple Support

How can I fix black spots on the camera in my iPhone 6 Plus? Please help me.
You see the same locations if you take a picture out in the open?
It's more like flares of the lens, because of the light coming from one side of the room and hit the lens at an angle. If so, it is an optical phenomenon and cannot be resolved.

In Entourage, all the incoming mails are doubled. How can I fix this?
Entourage is not an Apple product and there are very few users Entourage here. I do part, but never encountered the problem you describe. You the best chance for a quick resolution is to post your question forums Office: Mac from Microsoft here:
Everyone he's a Mac user AND a user desktop, something you can't say about Apple forums. You will get the quickest help there and I think you'll find contributors more useful.
When you post here, do not forget to include your Office version and your version of Mac OS x.

I received a prompt on my Ipod touch 5th generation yesterday, that there is a new update of the Messenger application. So I tried to update, however, the app is now stuck on the phase "Waiting."... "and the logo has been disabled. I still get notifications of new messages from the app, but I can't open. I tried to remove and then reinstall the application but the application did not and the app store think that I always opened it. How can I fix this or return to the previous edition that worked?
Thank you in advance!
Hello cfossum,
Looks like you have problems with a third party on your iPod touch app, since the Messages belongs to iOS and you would receive separate not quickly update.
The resources below will provide some troubleshooting steps for the problem you are having with the Messenger application.
If an application you have installed unexpectedly closes, unresponsive, or does not open
Take care.

For problems of audio on a CD (as opposed to combustion problems do not at all), you can often clear up by re-burning at a lower speed. Use 2 x. This setting is available in the dialog box burn the disc.

Firefox 42.0 automatically load a tab 'option' as if a Web site is selected. How can I fix it? I can't find any navigation to prevent that from happening. This started when "ask.com" hijacked my browser. I can now load my selected home page, but can not get the tab 'option' to appear automatically as well as my other sites selected in the tabs above. Thank you.
Firefox uses a vertical bar ("|") in order to separate several home pages.
You can check the setting of the home page to see if the subject: preferences page is included among the home pages (| subject: preferences #general).This can happen if you click on "use current page (s) ' to set the home page and about: preferences is open in a tab.
You can pin the tab with the subject: the preferences page through the context menu of the tab to avoid including: preferences for layout home page if you want to use this button in "Options/Preferences > general".
To set a page as the home page, you can drag the globe/lock for the home button. -
After the V43.0.0.5820, Firefox works but is invisible on the screen. I do not remember what version I have updated since then, but this is done normally under actual multiple monitors as with all other software installed.
Currently it is forcing me to use Internet Explorer, which works flawlessly.
If I stop actual multiple monitors, Firefox won't stay visible well that listed in Windows Task Manager.
When I'm out of multiple monitors, Firefox works normally.
How can I fix it?
I uninstalled V43 and re-installed V42. This seems to have solved the problem. I didn't answer on the forum of the AMM yet but it's still the early days. I'll post a response that I get to help a resolution.
