    Vista references apply to Windows 7.

    You probably need to recharge the device drivers and any software control of the 'IF' camera, there is
    everything for Windows 7.

    Login as an administrator.

    Double-click Control Panel / Device Manager - Imaging - writing down of the brand and model of camera.
    on this subject and on the tab of the driver is version. Now, click on update drivers (who are unable to do anything as MS
    is far behind the pilots of certification). RIGHT click on the camera - UNINSTALL - REBOOT - it
    will update the driver stack.

    Now, go to the system manufacturer's website and download the latest driver for the camera and the other related camera
    software (if not more recent get the same).

    Download - SAVE - go to them and RIGHT CLICK - RUN AS ADMIN - reboot after each driver.

    Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.
    http://pcsupport.about.com/od/driverssupport/HT/driverdlmfgr.htm

    Installation and update of drivers to 7 (update drivers manually using the methods above is preferred
    to make sure that the latest drivers from the manufacturer of system and device manufacturers are located)
    http://www.SevenForums.com/tutorials/43216-installing-updating-drivers-7-a.html

    Then let windows updates on however prevent loading of drivers who are often older than the
    those that you have installed. If updates suggests a pilot and then HIDE it and watch manually to see if their
    really is a more recent version (at the time system manufacturer and the sites of the manufacturer of the device).

    Hello mpm068,

    Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.

    Since your iSight webcam works up to the time that your Mac goes to sleep, I would like you to start please help desk trying to replicate this problem then to reboot in safe mode:

    1. Choose the Apple menu > shut down.

    2. After your Mac stops, wait 10 seconds, then press the power button.

    3. As soon as you hear the startup tone, hold down the SHIFT key.

      You must press the SHIFT key as soon as possible once you hear the startup tone, but not before.

    4. Release the SHIFT key when you see the gray Apple logo and progress indicator.

    To exit safe mode, restart your Mac, but no press during the startup.

    OS X El Capitan: start in safe mode

    Take care.

    Working profile doesn't have access to the shared folder, and there is no camera installed by default application.

    The camera problem, you can work around by deploying a replacement of the camera to work partition. There is one called CloudyPics we offer open source that works: https://github.com/blackberry/Cascades-Community-Samples/tree/master/CloudyPics

    Hello

    What happens when you start the webcam app?
    All programs-> Toshiba-> webcam

    Did you install other 3rd software part as for example the Skype that could access the webcam?

    Extra tip: go to BIOS and set it to default, save changes, and then restart the laptop.
    Start Skype for example, check the settings in Skype webcam chose correctly.

    It would be really interesting to know if the other software would be able to use the webcam.

    By the way: have you installed Toshiba face recognition? This software use and access the webcam as well
    Then sometimes it would be possible that this software could block the webcam and webcam tool could not work

  • Satellite A215 S4767 Chicony USB 2.0 camera does not work with Skype

    I have a Toshiba Satellite A215-S4767 with Vista Ultimate 32.
    I checked the drivers and they work, I have 10 Diretcx and it works.

    When I open the camera program, it works well.
    I put the camera program is not at initial start-up of laptop.
    I start the laptop, Skype open and figure that the camera does not work and say to check what I've done.

    Yesterday, I had installed the Skype 5.5.0.114 version and the camera has functioned well, I upgraded Skype version 5.5.0.117 and the camera started not to work.

    Hello

    > Yesterday I had installed version Skype 5.5.0.114 and the camera has functioned well, I upgraded Skype version 5.5.0.117 and the camera started not to work.

    This means that it is not software for laptop problem or a webcam, but maybe it s Skype related issue.
    You should check if the webcam has been chosen correctly in Skype video settings.

    If this does not work, uninstall the 5.5.0.117 version of the system, reboot the laptop, clean the registry using CCleaner (freeware tool) and then after reboot again to install the 5.5.0.117 again if not check the 5.5.0.114 a version that worked correctly in the past.

  • Satellite L500 - Web Cam does not work

  • Camera does not work on my Satelite L350-20F

    Can someone help me get the Satellite L350-20F camera work?

    I ve just bought Kijiji laptop fully functional outside of the built-in camera. It is not in the Device Manager as there is no imaging device in the list or the yellow marks. It does not show on find or search for new hardware and all the drivers on the Toshiba site does not work. It was windows visit here originally, I think, but I like about windows Vista.

    Can anyone help with maybe what the camera driver, I need to install.

    Thank you

    Even if the software/driver webcam would be missing, you should find an unknown device in Device Manager.

    But if the unknown device is not visible in the Device Manager list, then this means that the device was not recognized by the system and especially isn't a flaw operating problem but hardware driver. But it is also possible that the webcam is not enabled in the BIOS.

    In many cases the BIOS supports this webcam (option switch) and in my opinion, you should check if you can find this setting in the BIOS.
    If it is not available in the BIOS, then a hardware failure is possible.

    As I remember, the webcam module is connected to the USB controller on the motherboard. It is possible that the webcam is not connected to the motherboard had to lose the connection... it would be one of the possible reasons for webcam not detected.

    By the way: the driver/software of the webcam can be downloaded from the Toshiba UE driver page.
