webcam prob

My webcam has suddenly become all blurry like a bad picture, it was always clear before.

I use this webcam a lot, especially for videos and then take pictures of the video in Picassa 3 where the webcam shows also the same blur or grainy.

I have now revived and restored my computor in a time much earlier... (tried about 3 previous points) and still the problem remains.

Thanx Irena

  • Cannot use the webcam on my Satellite Pro A200

    I have the Satellite Pro A200 series.

    My warranty (with clips) runs out on August 7. I had probs with my webcam since I bought this laptop two years ago. I keep says it's a matter of 'software' and not covered by the warranty. I did everything what I said to do... reformatted the hard drive three times, etc., etc. In any case... I use only this laptop when I go... I checked the other day and that's the problem, now, I recovered it. It works, I can see on the webcam, but no one can see me.

    I get this message that says "turn on camera"... but there is no way to turn it on and just what I do does not work. Is it not now a HARDWARE problem, with a built-in webcam If the camera does not illuminate? So it seems Staples should look like it. I'm back this week for another chance with them.

    But does anyone have any suggestions?
    Thank you.

    Try this

    * Download driver Chicony Webcam drivers from Toshiba Web site section was updated. If you can't find an updated driver, try a new driver of another model of Toshiba.
    * Install the Service Pack 1 of Vista, or Vista Hotfix KB934374: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/934374 (KB934374 is included in SP1)
    * Update your e-mail software (MSN/Yahoo Messenger, etc...)
    * If you have another program that can use the webcam (e.g. Skype), make sure that they are completely closed and not, sitting in the system tray.
    * Try to close the bar Assistant camera on the left side of the office.
    * To stop the Camera Assistant software from running at startup, run Regedit and delete HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run "Camera Assistant Software".

    If it still does not work, then get an ASP to fix it.

  • Satellite L500 - Webcam is grainy

    Yes as shown, I have recently purchased a Toshiba satellite L500 on a month and half ago.
    When I used the webcam it was fine, but then, all of a sudden it seems he has turned REALLY grainy, especially when, in low light conditions where it is used to good work and be clear and sharp.

    I tried to uninstall the toshiba webcam software, the driver for the webcam and reinstall both without success. I can say that I have nothing to make this happen. The computer that is running windows vista.

    I uploaded a picture for comparison as to how it was first and how it is now, I hope that someone on this forum can help me to solve this problem without having to climb on toshiba.

    Thanking you in advance for reading and your answers.

    (Note on this not too grainy picture sound I have a lamp just next to me, but too low light, it darkens the bunch and will really grainy)

    (I tried to change all the settings I can find any avil is, as you can prob see its less sharp, gritty, and the colors are disabled).

    Hello

    As far as I know the quality of the image depends on the light conditions of the surrounding area.

    Have a look here:

  • Qosmio X 500 - 11 d: Fingerprint reader question and webcam problem

    Hello

    I am the owner of a portable X 500 - 11 d of Qosmio computer and I ran into a few problems these last time:

    1. After installing windows 7, the fingerprint reader has worked flawlessly for about a month, but now the login screen of windows 7 not poster not the option to connect with the fingerprint and when I try to start the utility of fingerprint toshiba it gives an error could not connect to the sensor.

    The strange thing is that I can't find the finger print sensos under Device Manager. Windows just does not detect it. I tried to reinstall the drivers and software, I've updated the bios but nothing works.

    2. the camera on the laptop, it is installed properly (the said driver is ok) but when you use the image is all black. I should mention that the blue light turns on when you use the camera.

    I tried to find a solution to the fingerprint issue o the forum here, but nothing has been using, hope someone knows how to solve.

    > The strange thing is under the Device Manager I don't think the impression sensos finger; Windows just does not detect it. I tried to reinstall the drivers and software, I've updated the bios but nothing works.

    Well, I m sure this laptop model X 500 - 11 d supports the fingerprint sensor.
    Please set the BIOS to default settings and check if there is a BIOS setting that can enable or disable the fingerprint sensor.

    > 2. The camera on the laptop, it is installed properly (the said driver is ok) but when you use the image is all black. I should mention that the blue light turns on when you use the camera.

    I had the same problem. In my case, that the room was too dark and the cam didn't work well. I had covered the lens of the webcam and after that I withdrew my finger from the webcam, webcam worked again. Notes; the room was very bright and the probe could catch the environment. I don't know if this could help Mr. maybe, you need to uninstall the webcam software before you try this procedure

  • 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?

    Contact Logitech technical support. The camera may be incompatible.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • AppleScript for recording video from webcam

    Hello

    I'm new to applescripts and I am writing a script to record from webcam to say X seconds. I use the script below, but I get an error that I don't have permission to save this file on the desktop. How can I avoid this error? Secondly how can I save the file with timestamp added in the name of the file.

    Thank you very much in advance, this is my first post in the community

    tellapplication "QuickTime Player"
      set newMovieRecording to new movie recording
    
      tell newMovieRecording
      start
      delay 5
      pause
      save newMovieRecording in "/users/rohitbhutani/desktop/movie.mov"
      stop
      close newMovieRecording
      end tell
    

    Hi rbhutani,

    First of all, you must have written

    newMovieRecording Save to POSIX file ' / Users/rohitbhutani/Desktop/movie.mov '.

    Instead of

    newMovieRecording record in ' / Users/rohitbhutani/Desktop/movie.mov '.

    Then, to save the file with timestamp added in the name of the file, you can do the following:

    the value theCurrentDate to the current date

    value dateTime to short date string of theCurrentDate & space & time chain of theCurrentDate

    game of theFilePath to "/ users/rohitbhutani/Desktop/film ' & dateTime &".mov ".

    say application "QuickTime Player".

    the value newMovieRecording to record new movie

    say newMovieRecording

    beginning

    period 5

    pause

    newMovieRecording Save to POSIX file theFilePath

    stop

    newMovieRecording close

    end say

    end say
