How do I re-install Photo booth? I deleted it off of my computer completely about a year ago by accident.

How do I get Photo booth back after I've deleted it completely? Thanks!

PhotoBooth is one of those programs that only get installed with a OS X re-install.
So even though you may pop the 10.6 install disk and run the bundled programs installer, you won't get PhotoBooth.
It's ok, you don't have to wipe the drive to get PhotoBooth just follow these steps
1: first check to see if you just didn't remove the Dock Alias for PhotoBooth, look in your Applicaitons folder for the original and drag it back to it's spot on the Dock. your done. stop.
2: backup your user files folders (music, pictures etc) off the machine to a storage drive and disconnect
3:  pop in your 10.6 machine specific disk that came with the computer, if you upgraded to 10.7 you'll have to hold command r and boot into Lion Recovery. Simply, Reinstall OS X, do not erase the drive.
4: Reboot and hold the shift key down, go to Software Update and update fully to get OS X back to current version
5: Reboot normally and PhotoBooth should have returned.
6: Go around and test your third party programs, some may have gotten disabled as the install kext files into OS X that got kicked out, so reinstall those programs from orignal sources. IF you get gray screen or hangs, reboot with shift key down and update those programs with incompatible kext files.
(note: I know it works for 10.6, not sure with 10.7)
Another option is to use Pacifist to extact PhotoBooth from the OS X install disks and replace it, it's hard to find so dig deep into the OS X installer, it's not in the bundled programs pkg. Note, I haven't tried this.
I think because of the Mac spying issue in Philli that involved schoolchildren in their homes, that Apple took extra pre-cautions with PhotoBooth that require a OS X install to return it back to OS X, so it's not included in the bundled program installer.
Good Luck

  • How do I convert a photo booth file to an AVI or MP4?

    How do I convert a photo booth file to an AVI or MP4?
    I tried exporting the file from Quick Time to my desktop, but the file extension reads as .m4v - is that compatible with other pc?

    The M4V format is a video file format developed by Apple and is very close to the MP4 format. The differences are the optional Apple's DRM copyright protection, and the treatment of AC3 (Dolby Digital) audio which is not standardized for the MP4 container.
    If your M4V video is not unprotected M4V files and without AC3 audio. It may be recognized and played by other video players by changing the file extension from ".m4v" to "mp4".
    So you can try to change the file extension and check if it works. If it doesn't work, try Leawo video converter(for windows or mac) and convert m4v to mp4 format.

  • How can I erase a photo album that was uploaded from an old computer that I don't have no more? I have other albums in the Iphone that I don't want to delete.

    How can I erase a photo album that was uploaded from an old computer that I don't have no more? I have other albums in the Iphone that I don't want to delete.

    If you sync with the new computer it will erase the current content from the iphone and replace with the selected content of the new computer.
    The pics that you have taken with the iphone should be imported regularly to your computer as you would with any digital camera.  You can then organize them and sync them back to the iphone if you wish.
    If you have had itunes perform a backup on the new computer, you should get the pics taken with the iphone back, but I would import them before trying anything.

  • I have an IMac 10.5.2 from about 5 years ago and recently my flash player stopped responding.  I tried to update my flash player but it tells me I need an updated system to install the player.  Can anyone help me figure out how to solve this problem?

    I have an imac osx 10.5.2 from about five years ago and recently my flash player stopped operating/responding.  Does anyone know if I have to install a new flash player?  I have attempted it several times and it won't let me.  I would appreciate any suggestions on how to solve this problem.  Do I need a new operating system?

    Why have you not updated to 10.5.8?
    You can check here:  http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/  to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS. Note that version 10,1,102,64 is the last version available to PPC Mac users*. The latest version,10.3.183.23 or later, is for Intel Macs only running Tiger or Leopard, as Adobe no longer support the PPC platform. Version 11.4.402.265 or later is for Snow Leopard onwards.
    * Unhelpfully, if you want the last version for PPC (G4 or G5) Macs, you need to go here:  http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/142/tn_14266.html  and scroll down to 'Archived Versions/Older Archives'. Flash Player 10.1.102.64 is the one you download. More information here:  http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/838/cpsid_83808.html
    You should first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/909/cpsid_90906.html
    and also that you follow the instructions closely, such as closing ALL applications (including Safari) first before installing. You must also carry out a permission repair after installing anything from Adobe.
    After installing, reboot your Mac and relaunch Safari, then in Safari Preferences/Security enable ‘Allow Plugins’. If you are running 10.6.8 or later:

  • I have a ipod that had photos synchronised to an old computer that has sinced crashed and the data can not be recovered. How do I recover the photos stored on the IPOD to my new computer?

    I have a ipod that had photos synchronised to an old computer that has sinced crashed and the data can not be recovered. How do I recover the photos stored on the IPOD to my new computer?

    You'll likely need the assistance of some sort of 3rd party software.  Keep in mind that the photos on your iPod are only scaled down thumbnail versions of the originals.  So even if you do manage to copy them backt to your PC, they will not be in their full original resolution.
    Do a simple Google search for "copy photos from ipod" and you should get a number of hits that can assist you.

  • How can I move my photos from Photoshop Elements 8 to a new computer also running Elements 8?

    How can I move my photos from Photoshop Elements 8 to a new computer also running Elements 8?

    I am not sure this is going to work. For one thing, the preferences file is in a different place in Mountain Lion. It is at: ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail/Data/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.pli st. I wouldn't try to move the .plist file, I'd be very surprised if it would work.
    I would do a different approach and start with just recreating the mail account(s) you have on the new machine from scratch and let them download your mail from the server. Then if there were e-mails not on the server any more, but stored in the black macbook, I'd copy them from the mailboxes folder, from the old machine to the new. I'm not sure where they are in 10.5.8, but in ML they are at ~/Library/Mail/V2/Mailboxes.
    At each stage along the way I'd do a backup, so in case it screws things up, you can revert to a functional Mail.app.

    i just wanted to know if i can download the Mac version and use that cereal number to activate it?
    No.
    Serial numbers are Mac only or Windows only. There is a platform swap process (from Mac to PC etc) but only for CS6.
    As a CS5 owner, your choices are to either pay to upgrade to CS6 for Mac or join the Cloud.

  • I downloaded Elements 11 to my laptop about 3 years ago and now purchased a new computer and need to install it.  How do I install Elements without purchasing it again?

    I downloaded Elements 11 to my laptop about 3 years ago and now purchased a new computer and need to install it.  How do I install Elements without purchasing it again?

    I have Elements pulled up on my old computer, can I find it in the program?
    No but if your old computer runs Windows then you can use the free Belarc Advisor software to extract the serial number from inside the computer.
    Belarc Advisor - Free Personal PC Audit, for software, hardware and security configuration information on your computer.…
    Tip for future reference: when buying software, always keep your serial numbers safe and handy. Don't rely on websites, the Cloud or anyone else to retrieve them for you when you need them most. They are the single most important thing you get when you buy software and they are unique to you personally.
    You can download software installers from the web any time but, without your unique serial number, you'll be stuck with using the software in trial mode.
