Can I take a picture with my Mac?

Can I take a selfie with the camera on my Mac?

Yes. Look in the Applications folder for Photobooth. (It may already be on the dock.)
Double click to open it. When you are ready to take a shot, click the red camera icon below the picture.

How to take a picture with my mac bok pro???

Years ago I took pictures and selfies with my MacBook Pro. After spending a lot of time only using my phone to take pics I'm only trying now to take one simple pic of my dog on the other side of my computer screen tonight. Now I can't seem to find out how to do this. The i-Photo at the bottom of the screen only shows me old photos and asks for locations. No. I try to look for help on my Mac to no avail. THE REST OF MY MICROSOFT FRIENDLY FAMILY ARE AMUSED. The 'support' is horrible, I find out through YAHOO - not Apple or my computer - that I need to go through Photo Booth. I remember seeing that years ago. Why is there no photo booth icon at the bottom of my screen??? When did it change to i-Photo, and why aren't the two integrated?? Why do I have to find answers through yahoo? I managed to get photo booth up for a while on my mac book, but seriously, I can't be doing this all the time, now it's gone again and still I have no pic of my dog hating the back of my screen. And I can't find it again! The question is still: How do I take a photo with my mac book? Please DO NOT refer me to a link. NOT LOOKING FOR AN AUTOMATED ANSWER. Also, some additional feedback, Siri is really inferior compared to OK Google in providing directions, answering general questions (understanding voice questions and providing answers) and making voice command calls. I will not be buying an Apple watch for now. I need to see a lot of other improvements, even only how to ask questions about existing products and features and get snappy answers, before I invest in a new Apple product. Disappointed, I always rooted for Apple.

Feel all better now?
1. The Photo Booth.app is located in the Applications directory of Macintosh HD on Mac OS X systems. But some Microsoft Friendly Family conspirator might have changed the name of the internal storage device, removed the Photo Booth.app icon from the Dock, or possibly deleted the app.
2. Photo Booth.app never DID change to iPhoto.app, or Photos.app. It always was and still is Photo Booth.app.
3. iPhoto and Photos (introduced in Yosemite 10.10.3) are separate programs primarily designed for organizing and editing digital photos, and cannot take selfies.
Once you 'snap' an image with Photo Booth, the images are displayed in the 'film roll' that appears at the bottom of the Photo Booth application after you snap the first image. Clicking on an image in that film roll will select it. Control+clicking offers the option to export or delete the image. Once an image is selected with a single click, click the "upload" icon beneath the film roll to see the options available.
(Yosemite 10.10.2 version illustrated below. Screen transparency means that the background image colors bleed through the menus illustrated below.)
4. There is a fast way to find and start the application called Photo Booth.app.
Click on the Spotlight icon in the upper right corner of your computer screen to search your computer for Photo Booth.app. Yes, there is a space between the words Photo and Booth. Press the enter/return key to open the application which will also enable the user-facing camera and illuminate a green LED.
Click the red button to initiate a 3-step countdown and a simulated flash of the screen to provide more light.
5. Once Photo Booth.app is open and running, 'right click' (if the Secondary click feature of your mouse or trackpad has been enabled in , System Preferences) on the Photo Booth program icon in the bottom 'Dock' of your screen, and select Options, Keep In Dock. That will keep the Photo Booth icon in the bottom program dock for fast future use.

I can't take a picture with my playbook

The camera doesn't work anymore. When I try to take a pic or record a video, I have a message error.

Rule of thumb with apparent hardware faults is if a restart does not fix it, reinstall OS using de-brick usb method..
If it still does not work it's a hardware fault, and depending on the warranty status and your country consumer law take appropriate steps with your supplier or RIM

Can you take good pictures with your Z1 Compact?

Hi,
So many people here complaining about the overall picture quality of Z1C (I’m one of them).
Sony offered me to send my phone to their service center so they could check if something was wrong with my phone.
I wonder if it could be the case and that after being fixed by Sony it could be a decent camera without the overprocessing, lack of detail and the noise seen on all my pictures now?
So i’d like to hear from you, please let us know if you are able to take good quality pictures. Maybe we are just unlucky people with bad units.
Also, do you think that the service center can actually do something with a bad phone or i'm just wasting my time?
Thanks

Hi,
camera on my Z1C does fairly good images (in manual mode, good light conditions), but I do think it's absolutely inadequate to the sensor size and resolution - there is extremely much noise in all of the pictures. In low light conditions, my HTC Sensation (over 3 yrs old, 8MP) does a better job than my Z1C, which is really sad. The post-procesing must be somehow flawed in Sony's phones (last Sony's phone I had that took IMO adequately good pictures was the Xperia S), because Apple or Samsung can produce quite the same (in good light), if not better photos (definitly in low light), with much worse optics.
There are many test photos in the internet reviews, which are probably the best you can take with the Z1C. I'd say it's a general problem of Sony, nothing they can fix at the Service Center, but if the procedure is covered in your warranty, it's probably worth a shot - your lens could be defected, resulting in blurry photos.

I'm assuming you have Photo Stream set up of both devices. However, it seems many users are experiencing the same as you - my take is that streaming photos is not foolproof yet.

When i take a picture with flash in a dark place , the photo appears with a blue line . how can i default this ?

when i take a picture with flash in a dark place , the photo appears with a blue line . how can i default this ? is this normal ???

You probably have a filter set for the normal camera mode but not the square.
To fix, in Photo mode, touch the filter icon (three circles) and select None for the filter.

When I take a picture with my IPhone and send it to my home computer, why do the pictures turn sideways or upside down (it's an HP windows computer)

When I take a picture with my IPhone and send it to my home computer (HP Windows) why does the picture turn out sideways or upside down?

OK, here's the explanation. When you take a picture, the iPhone knows what orientation it is in (portrait, landscape, etc.) and adds that information to the picture's EXIF data so it knows which side is up. Apple devices can decode this information and show the picture right side up when it is viewed. However, Windows computers cannot do this. They are not capable of decoding the orientation information added by the iPhone, so they are displayed in a default orientation (which may not be right side up).
This only happens on Windows machines, and unfortunately there is nothing you can do about it, except use the rotation buttons in Windows picture view to orient the photo correctly.

THE use of the apple support is a mess also.
I want to be able to use my MAC fully and easily like I used to with Snow Leopard.
What is wrong with this maverick OS?

The only people who can possibly assist you with this is Apple Customer Relations, call your local Apple contact number and ask for Customer Relations then explain your situation clearly and politely (be firm but don't rant).
You might want to investiage what the local laws are regarding defective goods and 'fit for use' definitions on warranties etc. Consumer Protection can be a useful tool to use or bargain with if needed ...

My iPad 2 is updated to iOS 6. My question is, can it take panoramic pictures? I tried looking around to see if i could figure out how, but no luck. Help please.

When you look at how they distribute apps it seems that iPods/iPhones are deemed more portable, which is why they have the better camera features, stuff like weather and passbook and stocks, while Apple doesn't seem to plan for the iPad being used as peoples cameras or being carried around with them on a daily basis....and I know evidenc is to the contrary. I've seen people using their iPad as a camera in national parks and at disneyland.

Cannot take a picture with Camileo X100?

After connecting my Camileo X100 with the RCA connector to my LG LCD TV, browsing through my pictures and eventually unplugging the camera, something wierd happened.
After I turned the camera on and tried to take a picture, nothing happened. I can't take a picture, shoot a video, zoom in and out or set the picture and video preferences and settings. I can only browse through the pictures and videos that I took before. It seems like my camera is stuck in the same mode when it was plugged to my TV.
I removed the battery several times and nothing. The only button that is responding is the playback button and when trying to take a picture, only the (white, green, or red) square is shown. Please, help :(

Uh-oh. I jump to conclusions too fast.
This is my second question that I answered by myself but still, don't delete it if other users get this kind of problem.
I basically turned on the camera, plugged it into the TV with my RCA connector, turned off the camera, unplugged it and turned it on again.
*Now it's working prefectly.*

My ipod touch can not take pano pictures

I cannot take pano pictures with my ipod touch,when I touch the option for pano it appears a blurried screen.I dont know what to do,it is a new device (2 weeks new)

If that is not successful

least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:

- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

When i take a picture with flash the camera goes black

Whenever I try to take a picture with flash on my camera goes black.

There are two issues that come to mind... the first (hopefully it's this one) would be that you have a software issue that could be solved by restoring your iPhone from a back up...
The other would be that you have a hardware issue with the camera ... if the camera worked fien before you upgraded, then likely it's a corrupted software file that can be solved by doing the restore.

Can I capture a picture with my ipad, and save it as a PNG and/or SVG file to a specific folder?

Can I capture a picture with my ipad, and save it as a PNG and/or SVG file to a specific folder?

Kind of, sort of. (You can't save as SVG, but you can export as PNG.) PS Touch projects themselves are self-contained UNTIL they are exported, and even then they'll get exported to a specific location. (e.g., To the Camera Roll or Gallery/Photos, to Creatve Cloud, etc.)
The procedure would be to start a new project using the "add image" icon (looks like a landscape with a plus sign, in the lower right in the project selection user interface) > Camera. Take your picture, then PS Touch will bring you to the editing user interface. Edit your image as appropriate.
Go back out to the project selection user interface by tapping the back arrow in the upper left to save. You can then export the project using the export icon (5th icon from the upper right).

I have updated my iPhone 3s to the latest software. I had backed up my phone before I did this. Now I have lost my music and apps. I can't sync the phone with my Mac, I can't re-download as the phone says I don't have any music or apps available. Help!

I have updated my iPhone 3Gs to the latest software in an attempt to iron out a problem with a new telephone network provider (Tmobile). I had backed up my phone before I did this. Now I have lost my music and apps. I can't sync the phone with my Mac, I can't re-download from iTunes as the phone says I don't have any music or apps available to re-download although it all shows up on my Mac. The music and app content cannot be restored when I try to restore the phone from the back up I madeon my Mac. Help!

Working on that now. I'm just getting frustrated that everytime I run updates for the phone I end up with tech problems that I have to spend time solving as opposed to updates that actually improve my usage. Now I will once again get to spend hours reloading my phone all for updates that didn't affect my usage in the first place.
