Fixing webcam in BlueStacks - webcam

As of now, my BlueStacks camera will not connect to anything showing the error,
can not connect to the camera
After a while of looking around I did find the BlueStacks camera troubleshooting guide
Which basically said that either my webcam is broken or BlueStacks just need to be restarted and it all will be fixed. My webcam is operational, and restarting the app didn't work. I also found some older questions that said BlueStacks didn't support webcams, but I assume that answer is just out of date. I'm on version v4.210.0.1093

Ok the answer was to go into the windows registry editor and go to Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\BlueStacks\Guests\Android\Config. From there open the registry for camera. If it is 0 change it one and restart. If it is one change it to zero, restart change it back to one, and restart again

Synergy cannot reset on Mac

A really simple but dragged me many days that I cannot figure out how:
I've setup synergy on my Mac as a client, using Ubuntu as the server.
But now I wanted to switch to use Mac as server and Ubuntu as client.
The question now I'm facing is that synergy settings page never show up, each time I try to open it, it just appears in less than 0.1 second, then it disappeared.
Because I've set it up already and I don't need the reconfigure the Ip addresses etc.
This is convenient.
But now I wanted to switch server/client roles, I need to reconfigure it, however the settings page of synergy never shows up to let me configure it, does anyone have the same issue?
I tried to uninstall synergy on my Mac, but when I reinstall it back, it automatically configures itself again and quickly disappears and runs in the background.
It's been a pain for me.
You can't start the Server on Yosemite, because you need to grant access to the process (Synergy) to control your computer:

doing that with Synergy should work.

TIA PORTAL v11. Open existing project

I have to use an existing project in STEP7/TIA PORTAL v11 and I have the PLC (CPU 1212C AC/DC/RLY) with the code downloaded inside it which is connected to a touch panel (KTP600 Basic Color PN).
What I want is to download the code from the PLC to my computer to try to modify it, is this posible?
Because I've tried to connect it to my PC and it doesn't detect it. It turns on the ERROR and the MAINT leds in red.
The configuration is over a virtual machine (VMware player with Windows 7) because my PC has Windows 8 installed and it doesn't support TIA PORTAL is there any problem with this?
If program was uploaded with TIA11 it is not good idea to use v13. What is more with other version you need new licence keys.
From your vm ping the plc address if itis in right subnet. Then serch for sccessible nodes. On your picture i see that you should try using 'search all accessible devices'.
Upgrade to version 13 of TIA Portal. This version can run under Windows 8.
Under VMWare you have to change the network settings for your Virtual Machine to bridged. Also install VMWware Tools.
Those are some steps that I would try.
make sure you can ping it from inside your Virtual Machine. It will validate the route to the plc (cable, network config). It’s not a necessary step to connect to a plc, but it’s a good check.
Go to Control Panel on Windows, then PG/PC , then make sure that you have the right Hardware Interface Active
If you still not able to see the PLC, I advise you to to download PRONETA, if it still doesn’t show up there, then the research would have to go deeper. Until today, I’ve only one time in all year when a device have not apeares in Proneta.

Chrome dev tools site gets stuck in mobile view when exiting emulation mode

When using chrome dev tools to emulate mobile devices, sometimes when toggling emulation from mobile back to desktop the user agent spoofing gets stuck in mobile. I've tried hard cache reset, closing browser completely, restore to default.... but anything I do the site still renders in mobile (even when emulation is turned off).
This happens in Canary, beta, and regular Chrome.
Also a note i've only seen this happen in Sharepoint.
Anyone know how to resolve? Nothing seems to get the dev tools to change user agent back to default when exiting emulation.
Have you tried deleting your chrome settings?
Windows: C:/Users/%username%/AppData/Local/Google/Chrome/User Data
Mac OSX: ~/Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome/
Ubuntu: ~/.config/chromium/
Also make sure you aren't ZOOMED! Gets ya everytime
I ran into this same problem previously when using dev tools in Chrome to look at mobile resolutions that got me permanently stuck in mobile for SharePoint only. I solved it originally with the recommendation above of deleting my Chrome settings folder, however, that meant I had to sign in again, sync my extensions, etc.
After forgetting that this would happen again, I ran into the same issue, but this time I discovered that if you append the following to your SharePoint URL it will reset this back to non-mobile. I verified that it is not temporary as I have closed my browser, reopened, visited SharePoint, and it still loads in desktop mode.
/?mobile=0
So, you would use your site url, e.g. https://siteurl/?mobile=0
Weird, this just started happening to me. It persists in new tabs and new windows. Only fix is to open DevTools and switch to Responsive mode and then pull it way out. As soon as I turn off Responsive / Mobile view, Chrome snaps right back to a mobile view by default (appears to be iPad size).
The solution for me (so far) was to quit Chrome and open it back up.

Mobile Test Workbench - Status of the RTW server

I've been testing MTWWW for about a couple of days, and I've come to notice something.
I have to add the device to MTWW by going to a url on the device that looks like this,
protocol://hostname:+port/mobile
However, sometimes my device can't reach that address neither when I restart eclipse. When that happens I typically restart my computer and everything is fine and dandy again.
There was even one time that on that same screen that display the QRCode and URL to add a device, a notification appeared which showed something close to "RTW server could not start properly" or something like that.
This led me to believe that MTWW uses some other web server other that WL server to receive the recordings from the instrumented apps.
This also led me to believe that perhaps sometimes when the server tries to start the ports are already binded to some socket and it fails the initialization. Just speculation here.
However if there is a slight sense in what I written, is there a way to inspect the status of the RTW server, some dashboard perhaps?
Besides that, what should I do to fix when the RTW server didn't start properly? Rebooting the computer is pretty lame, there must be something more clever to do.
Oh, I've found this behavior on a mac osx box, on a windows one I haven't done so much testing.
Thanks in advance.
There is no dashboard for the server. But if yoy think that the issue come from the port, you can change it in the preferences. Please read http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21678980
Hope its help

IE11 Developer Tools Blank Network and Profile Tab

Extensively used IE9 Developer Tools and I just updated to IE11 "11.0.2" and the Developer Tools are garbage.
My Network and Profile Tabs are blank.
Is there a "special" setting that I'm missing in order to enable them, or could there be a specific windows hot fix between the IE11 RTM and 11.0.2 that I may be missing?
I had the same problem (version 11.0.9600.17633) on WIN7
Only on one of 4 accounts. Reinstalling IE11, etc did not help.
With regedit, I renamed HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer
to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer Old
I logged off, then logged on again and started Internet Explorer. This recreated the key. The network tab and profiler tab are no longer blank. Internet Explorer settings have been lost however. I assume the settings and state of Internet Explorer are the same as just after creating a new account.
The network tab was not working for me on Windows 10 Creators Update (Version 1703 OS Build 150063.540) in IE OR Edge.
After trying the various registry changes mentioned by others without success, I removed Internet Explorer as a Window Feature (Control Panel > Programs and Features > Turn Windows Features on or off).
I rebooted and opened Edge and the network tab was working again.
Then I went back into Programs and Feature and added IE back as in installed feature. I rebooted and now the network tab is working in both IE and Edge.
To make blank Network Panel/Profiler Panel appear again(also pin F12 developer tool not working either), delete the following registry DWORD key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet
Explorer\Main\TabProcGrowth
This key could be recreated automatically.
I still have this problem using IE 11.0.9600.18097 on Win 7 [Version 6.1.7601]. I post my solution here in case someone faces the same situation like me, that your company doesn't allow updating IE on your own. My

Here is the solution: install the following patch from Microsoft and restart your computer:
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=46507
This helped me for IE 11, Windows 10:
sc config diagnosticshub.standardcollector.service start=demand
(see https://www.systemcamp.com/network-collection-agent-failed-to-start-in-ie-11-or-edge/)
It's definitely worth getting the latest updates.
There shouldn't be any special settings. The only special/different thing about the network and profiler tools are the two tools that weren't rebuilt in IE11 and were just themed. However they should most definitely work just fine. Though there are some timing bugs that can cause the tools to hang and crash :(. But, that doesn't seem to be happening for you.
I'm a bit of a loss as to make recommendations on how to fix the issue as we've not seen the issue before (I work on the F12 tools at Microsoft).
If you try a different user account does the same issue happen? Is it happening on all your machines or just one? Does it happen on all pages or just some? (try both an intranet and internet site.)
I created a new local account, logged into that account and that solved this problem for me. All of the tabs in the developer tools work and I can now dock the developer tools as well which I could never do before.
more info:
Not sure if this is the full answer but this appears to be related to settings on your computer more then IE itself. For whatever reason I could not change visual settings or apply themes or change the desktop wallpaper. I followed all the online setting changes for fixing those things. Basically it can be setting changes in group policies/registry settings that disable this. However I'm pretty sure at one point I had a virus on my computer and that destroyed my settings so there was no real undoing of all the damage that it had done. So creating a new account was my only answer.
I doubt this would fix the issue but just to make sure it is not being caused by an extension have you tried running IE without extensions?
from run: iexplore.exe -extoff
This happened to me and the answer was that my machine (win8.1) wasn't being patched per the group policy since the rest of the company's on win7 and the patches are controlled.
When I forced the update-- there's a link on the windows update dialog box that says "Check online for updates from Microsoft Update". I got a gig a of stuff to dl and installed it and we were fine after that.
NOTHING until then- wiping bits of the registry, uninstall ie11, reinstall, etc, worked.
Change the value data in DWORD "TabProcGrowth" that located in "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main" to 1. close and open IE11 .
For me, Network tab stopped working one day and following worked:
Restart Microsoft (R) Diagnostics Hub Standard Collector Service
Just close IE11 and all its tabs and reopen
