Webcam - Skype says that the webcam is not working
I tried Skype this morning and for some reason any, they told me that the Webcam was not working. Why would that happen? I have not had problems with this before that my computer is less than 4 months. Any suggestions?
Hello
You can use the camera without Skype? Have you rebooted to see if something was blocking
access the camera?
Troubleshoot camera connection
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/Troubleshoot-camera-connection-problems
You probably need to recharge the device drivers and camera control software (usually included
with the drivers and installed at the same time).
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.
Manually look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers.
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).

Since the update to iTunes 12.4.1.6 I don't see my purchased music. When I try to import my old playlists I get a message saying that the library is not a valid iTunes library. Thus, thousands of songs and hundreds of films and I can't see or play one. I see my movie library where it is stored on an external hard drive, but my music was on my iMac.
Where all the playlists gone and why didn't appear my entire music library? I checked the preferences and iTunes points to the correct folder, BUT only my music purchased appears...
Same thing happened to me. I tried to replace iTunesLibrary.itl with an older copy, but that has not worked. Then I tried to return a version by resetting the Time Machine's iTunes app, but it would allow me to edit or delete iTunes because it is part of Mac OS X.
So, I can not sync my iPad or iPhone, update all apps or find my music, that is, the course of the odf, still on my hard drive. ITunes just can't see the library.
