• Webcam flicker on and outside

  So, recently, my webcam stopped working. Whenever I try to turn on the video flickers power on and off. Here's a dxdiag to all who would be willing to solve this problem for me

  This means that the webcam is default or there is a problem with the wiring of the webcam.

• of HP Pavilion laptop webcam problem

  I have a hp Pavilion dx6665ca with Vista and all the service packs and updates of the firmware & bios.  In recent months, every time I have open or close the lid, I get a notification on the toolbar by saying: "unrecognized usb device".  It looks like this:

  http://imgur.com/0eOrQ.jpg

  It was annoying, but nothing seemed to be irrelevant.  I also have a problem where the left side of the screen will sometimes flicker and go almost black, then I thought it might have something to do with it, but it was intermittent.

  I recently tried to use the webcam and it was not detected by the software. After you have checked in Device Manager, I realized it wasn't showing up there under imaging devices, as it should:

  http://imgur.com/Z9j86.jpg

  I have the impression that the "unknown device" under the controllers USB is the camera, but Vista does not know what it is.

  I tried the new firmware, software, uninstall and reinstall all usb devices and drivers, nothing seems to work.  I always get the message "unrecognized usb device" if every time I open or close the lid.

  If the Device Manager it detects not after all these attempts, am I experiencing a hardware problem?  My warranty expired 2 months ago is there no matter what chance hp will fix this issue, I see so many posts and it seems to be a widespread hardware issue?

  Any contribution is appreciated.

  Thanks in advance.

  Hey guys, I saw some people posted again so I thought I would add a few things...

  Since my last post, I replaced my inverter display twice and my Webcam once. I think that following these two parties do not and one of them more than once, that we can logically deduce that there is a problem with the amount of energy supplied to these two devices.  They are powered by the same connector and I bet that these hardware components fail after that.  Even now, on my THIRD Board(original +2) Inverter it is still flickering. Short of replacing the machine, you can replace these components.

  You have two choices: pay to have someone else fix it or do it yourself.  If your idea of a screwdriver is a butterknife, pay someone else.  If you are confident, smart and willing to learn, you can do it yourself.  You could ruin your machine if you screw up, but I promise you that's not so difficult.  For model Pavilion dx6000, look on ebay for the following:

  Camera Module-part # 446486-001. A simple installation with the right tools. Do not break the legs that hold the bezel (frame) plastic around the screen or the lid does not close.

  Display the converter DC-AC-part # 431391-001. This one is a little harder to install, but you have to be patient and VERY CAREFUL NOT to BREAK THE TAPE.

  Here is the link for the manual.  The title is different by model number, but the procedure is the same, including the reference numbers:

  http://h20000.www2.HP.com/BC/docs/support/SupportManual/c01178385/c01178385.PDF

  To replace the camera module, go to page 37.

  For Inverter Board replacement, go to page 39.

  I hope this helps.

• DELL INSPIRON N4010 WEBCAM QUESTIONS: PLEASE HELP... DELL CUSTOMER... AND ANYONE WHO HAS KNOWLEDGE REGARDING MY PROBLEMS...

  I have a Dell Inspiron N4010. Configuration: 1st generation i5 processor with windows 7 home basic 64-bit.

  3 months after the purchase of my laptop, I have updated my Dell webcam central through the applications update service... Shortly after the update, my integrated webcam has started to show problems.

  DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM:

  Shortly after the update of my installed factory Dell webcam central, my integrated webcam has begun to show the problem. webcam was able to start with any application such as Skype or dell central webcam himself. Instead, webcam LED flashes for flicker of a second, and then goes away without any streaming video.  Trying to open it, an error message is displayed: "your webcam can be used by another application. Close the application to launch streaming video".» Initially, the problem was temporary, that is occasionally the webcam began video streaming without any problem, but as the time passed, webcam stopped working almost completely.

  TRIED SOLUTIONS:

  I tried all the solutions mentioned below:

  • I uninstalled the Dell webcam software and reinstalled with the version installed in the factory, supplied on CD with laptop. Uninstalled the webcam via the Device Manager and reinstalled, but without success.
  • I heard that there is a conflict between the Dell face recognition software and dell webcam central. So, I uninstalled the dell face recognition software. After that, the webcam worked for a few days, and there still rebooted problem.
  • I went through various forums online, dell community, customer service, etc. and everything suggested tried but without success. I heard several times that this is not a hardware fault but driver error. Even in a few forums, its says that Creative Technology Limited have not been able to supply webcam drivers compatible with windows 7 64-bit.
  • I even did factory restore my laptop twice, but could not do my webcam works.
  • Then, I decided to format my system and installed windows7 again with the disc that came with my laptop. During this process, I have kept the recovery drive and the untouched OEM disk untouched. I have reinstalled all the drivers in such order as advised by Dell. Despite puts everything in order, I couldn't do my built-in webcam work. More... now I can't even access the Dell factory restore option despite the fact that my recovery disk is intact and it is to have all the files into it!
  • I tried the utility dell online Diagnostics. He could not detect any error webcam!
  • Few days back, I used the dell startup screen diagnostic utility and scanned the built-in webcam to find errors, and my webcam failed in all tests! Here are the screenshots of the tests:

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  I GUESS I GAVE ENOUGH INFORMATION THAT CAN HELP TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM WITH MY DELL INTEGRATED WEBCAM... I ASKED DELL CUSTOMER SERVICE TO HELP ME SOLVE MY PROBLEM OF WEBCAM... AND ALSO THE FACTORY RESTORE INACCESSIBILITY PROBLEM... PLEASE HELP ME...

  AFTER AN ENTIRE WEEK OF UNINSTALLING - REINSTALLING VARIOUS DRIVERS & SOFTWARE FOUND IN THESE FORUMS, SUGGESTIONS INCLUDING REINSTALLING WINDOWS FROM DELL DATA SECURE BACKUP.  THIS IS WHAT I LEARNED.

  My problem was. No supported webcam not connected when I ran dell webcam central. No program could access the webcam. Device Manager showed SPECIFIC DEVICE. Camera suddenly stopped working! I had a little more hair when this problem started.

  I have Inspiron N4010 windows 7 Home premium. Are the drivers for the webcam in windows 7, there is no separate drivers available anywhere. with the exception of some XPS models.

  A post in these forums suggests to abolish the plastic around the display bezel. It's simple. Just carefully go around and remove. It is clipped without screws on my system. This gives access to the webcam hardware. I got dell webcam central on-board. (showing no supported webcam connected!). Gently, I tried to disconnect the connector of the webcam. My intention was to disconnect and reconnect. I barely touched and the fire came and windows immediately started to install device drivers. A beep and an icon in the notification bar popped up. A few minutes, I saw my beautiful mug on the screen to my absolute delight.

  Guys, if you have a problem where Device Manager does not recognize your webcam for most probably, this is a hardware problem. The small rectangular plate on which is mounted the webcam is not properly secured by DEll. It is a DESIGN PROBLEM. The Board is located in place on two small round plastic holders without any screws. It can move easily. The bezel plastic when it is installed itself that holds it in place, but not very effective. When you open and close the lid of the screen, especially if you are taking in the middle where the camera you finally loose connector. That's why some messages will tell you what they camera has stopped working suddenly and then started working by himself all of a sudden. When I put the bezel plastic, it snaps into place, I was able to move the camera, and it stopped working again. A little gentle jiggle got running again and its been since.

  It does not matter what version of central webcam you have in windows 7. It runs on windows Vista service pack 2 compatibility mode. (Find WEBCAMDELL2. EXE file under programs x 86-dellwebcam-dellwebcam Central-dell webcam central. Right-click on the file name. Select Properties. Select the Compatibility tab and run this program in compatibility select windows vista service pack 2).

  If in your case even though there might be a software problem. always try this simple 2 minute solution b4 safe spending frustrating days find the drivers and software. Hope this post helps someone. May work on other systems too! Good luck! and thank you to the guy who led me down this path and misery!

• Dell Webcam Central settings

  Hello, I have a Dell Inspiron N1150 with a built-in webcam. When I run the Dell Webcam Central program, the webcam works fine and shows the video and audio. However, after update today to version 2.01.18 tab 'Settings' in Capture Mode displays all the options like gray and I can't click on any one of them to change the settings of the camera. The drop-down window flicker control is clickable, but none of these options seem to change the image of the camera. In addition, the video effects tab does not work: thumbnails occasional sparkle but none of these options can be clicked or the scroll bars can be used.

  All drivers are updated with audio and video appear to work, but I can't change the appearance of the image in the settings.

  Hi Binjelli,

  May I know where did you updated the software of webcam?

  Uninstall and reinstall the software of the webcam to the computer.

• LCCS Screenshare-how the shared screen?

  Hi all,

  IM new to ACC, ACC to do application sharing screen using Flash Builder 4.I have used session.streamManager.maxP2PStreamPublish = 20;    session.streamManager.streamMulticast = true to publish my screen, how can I view the shared screen from another system? I have to use the Subscriber in another system to display split screen? Can someone help me please...

  . Thanks in advance

  Duva

  Hi Duva,

  Have you tried to use the screen sharing SampleApps? You can download them from our browser SDK. Within the 'ScreenShareExample' folder 'ScreenSharePublisherExample.mxml' and 'ScreenShareSubscriberExample.mxml' , which I think might help

  Here's the info from the Readme about these examples:

  ScreenSharePublisherExample: This example shows how to publish his screen and share it with other subscribers in the same room which has its publisherID. When to invoke this editor, Adobe screen sharing Addin will appear and a sharing dialog box will pop up asking what view/app to share.  Upon confirmation,.
  the streamID and the publisherID will be displayed on the Center textfields.  Use the publisherID on the screenshare subscriber see the screenshare.  (Please check the account and roomURL information before using the editor)

  ScreenShareSubscriberExample: With information on the right and roomURL, this application will connect to the first publisher of screen sharing in the room (you don't need to specify the publisherID).

  Here are a few good pages with ScreenSharing to information you might find useful as well:

• Unauthorized access to webcam

  So I installed an antivirus on my mac to air that has some features to prevent an applications or websites to use the webcam on my Mac when I do not know and I discovered that whenever I opened an AppStore strives to access my webcam and this attempt is blocked and reported by my antivirus

  So I would like to know why some applications on my mac system access my webcam without my permission and which data are collected in a way?

  I am not really concerned about privacy, but I think I must know, understand, and control what my system, because it really violates my rights of confidentiality and security

  Remove the antivirus software. It is worthless. You're not spying.

• Logitech C310 Webcam not recognized

  I have a Mac Mini from 2012 which I just upgraded to Sierra. Everything went well except the webcam, a Logitech C310, is not recognized by the operating system. He keeps his identification as "unknown device". It doesn't seem to work properly, but I fear that it is not properly recognized by the operating system.

  Anyone else have a similar problem with a Logitech webcam that faces a problem?

• Question about webcams with Macbook Pro 13-inch, mid 2010

  Bear with me as I am the most fundamental basic Mac users. I am currently using a MacBook Pro (13-inch, mid 2010) with OS X Yosemite 10.10.5 I don't use Skype or FaceTime or something like that. Recently, I joined an online course in which they said I need a webcam, headset and microphone so that I can communicate with my instructor and discussions in class.

  I have really no idea what hardware inside is on my laptop. Is the built in camera something that could be used for this purpose? Or do I need to buy these separately three elements to make this work? And if yes, are you easy to install and can anyone recommend something good, but also low-cost as possible.

  Thanks in advance for your time.

  Your built in FaceTime, camera is sufficient. This is the idea. outdoor cameras are mostly a thing of the past. If the internal webcam is broken, an external is always an option repair vs.

  You may need their proprietary software to connect to their course however

• ScreenSharing whitelisting

  Hello guys,.

  I asked the white list of our Circuit service (more on www.circuit.com)...

  https://Bugzilla.Mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1201832

  I asked access more than 1 months ago but have yet to see any progress on this issue.

  No no not this white list is what prevents us from being able to offer our service to users of firefox which is a real shame. Can you help speed up this white list request.

• iMovie does not recognize Logitech HD Webcam C310

  I'm running OS X 10.11.6 on a MacBook Pro for 6 months. I would use my Logitech HD Webcam C310 (USB) to import images from a film 8 mm 60 years projector to iMovie, but iMovie does not recognize the camera. FaceTime, however, DOES not recognize the camera, and it appears also in system information. But no matter what I do (restart iMovie, disconnect and reconnect the camera, restart the machine), iMovie displays only the camera, which he calls the "FaceTime HD camera." Appreciate any help to get this camera to work. Thank you

  I have a Logitech C920 webcam, and it is not recognized by iMovie.  It is recognized by Quicktime Player and Photo Booth applications and with one of these, you can save a movie that you can then import into iMovie.

• Logitech c920 no video display Webcam in Firefox

  Does not show my Logitech c920 webcam video in Firefox, but the audio works fine.

  I have tried with all disabled add-ons.

  It is the only webcam on my system.

  I found a fix for the problem. For Firefox, in his topic: config controls carried out in accordance with the preferences media.*.enabled media.autoplay.enabled search is set to false. Return to the default Boolean value (true) solves the problem. A response to this thread also proposed changes to the preferences of media.*.enabled back to their default settings, but it does not apply to my solution. Therefore, other media.*.enabled preferences are not relevant.

• Internal display flicker, ghosts, black flashing

  When you open the lid, the screen started "seers" black, I hear by then the screen will turn on and off, but when on, only show a black screen.  You can see what I mean here. When the internal display turns off, external displays for one second lag.

  Sometimes, the internal display will show what is actually on the screen, but it will flicker severely and superimpose a ghost of the screen on to halfway to the bottom of the screen, visible here.  External poster work very well, although they tear sometimes for a millisecond or two.  The computer works fine, I just can't see what I'm doing.  I am posting this from the computer using an external monitor.

  Steps than to attempt to resolve, I took:

  -J' test to see if it's a problem that the operating system sees or simply the screen by making an entry using Quicktime screen, and no problem in the recorded video.

  -Apple diagnostic test revealed no problems found (reference code: ADP000)

  -Reinstall OS X several times

  -Starts in Bootcamp, same problem with the internal display

  My thought is that it's a bad display cable, the screen inverter or any other Apple diagnostic Test does not cover.  Thanks for any help you can provide!

  Hello CAWeissen,

  Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.

  I understand your message that your MacBook Pro screen flashes only a black screen, but you can use external screens without problem. I know how much I use my Mac and using an external display is nice, but I do not always want to use a. You did a lot of great troubleshooting so far! An extra step that I would recommend would be to reset the NVRAM.

  This article includes the steps to reset the NVRAM:

  How to reset the NVRAM on your Mac.

  Reset the NVRAM

  1. Stop your Mac.
  2. Look for the following keys on the keyboard: command (⌘), Option, P, and R.
  3. Turn on your Mac.
  4. Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys, immediately after hearing the startup sound.
  5. Hold down these keys until the computer restarts and you hear the tone of starting for a second time.
  6. Release the keys.

  Also, just in case it turns out to be a hardware problem, we want to ensure that there is a current backup of your computer information.  For more information and creating a backup, check out this article here:

• Google Street Views flicker evil in whatever happened Firefox 28

  Arrested upgrade to version 28 because Google Streetview (classic mode) flickers bad to any higher version. Because embedded in the Disqus post YouTube videos has recently stopped working in v28 I am obliged in a version that does not work for me. Any chance you could fix flicker Google Streetview (classic mode)?

  I don't see flicker in Firefox on Windows 7 36. The classic view is certainly use Flash (unlike the view update).

  The typical things you could try to Flash to playback problems include disabling hardware acceleration by Firefox and the Flash plugin:

  In Firefox:

  • "3-bar" menu button (or Firefox) > Preferences > advanced > general mini-onglet

  Uncheck the "use hardware acceleration when available.

  This change takes effect the next time you exit Firefox and start it again.

  Flash:

  some media Flash (or the equivalent of right-click Mac!) right click > settings

  Try the first small icons at the bottom of the dialog box (it looks like a very faded monitor) and uncheck the box for enable hardware acceleration.
