Isight not detected...message another program is using it

I haven't been able to find a solution to my problem. After using my isight of my macbook for months suddenly it started to appear a message saying that a different program was using the isight. I already tried all the steps troubleshooting my isight without having good results. I read in some article that in system profiler (applications/ utilities) one could see if the isight was being detected by the computer. So now I have narrowed my problem. My isight is not being detected by my macbook. Some people say that is a problem related to quicktime. I really don't know. What I do know is that I miss my isight. If someone could help I would really appreciate any advice.
Thank YOU

NO, MY ISIGHT IS NOT DETECTED, BUT I DON'T KNOW WHY. I WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE IF SOMEONE COULD HELP SOLVE THIS PROBLEM. I'M USING LEOPARD. THANK YOU

When I close Photoshop CS6, the following message appears: "Could not save Preferences because the file is locked, you do not have necessary access permissions, or another program is using the file.

I have checked the Sharing and Permissions section of the "Get Info" panel accessed from the Finder and I have set Read and Write Privileges for my user account for Photoshop CS6. System and Admin are also set to Read and Write.
I have a MacBook Pro with OS X Version 10.9.5 and have all available updates for Photoshop CS6, Lightroom 5 and Bridge CS6.
I tried uninstalling the program and downloading it again and reinstalling, but nothing changed.
Can you help?

Why am I being told that a JPEG file that I made changes to in Photoshop 6 (CS6) can't be saved? The message I get says that either the file is locked and I don't have permission to execute this or another program is using this file.

i recently purchased a 21.5 iMac with Yosemite (10.10.1) and was disappointed to discover that my CS6 programs are not functioning correctly. I am unable to use the "Save As" command when making changes to a JPEG file in Photoshop. The message I get says that either another program is using the file or it is locked and I don't have permission to execute that command. I'm experiencing a similar problem in Bridge when trying to move an unwanted file to the Trash. Again, I get a message telling me that i don't have permission to do this. Lastly, I'm unable to open any Camera Raw files. Any suggestions? I had no problems with the Mavericks OS on my old iMac and although it's much slower, I'm tempted to go back to using my old iMac. At this point, I feel as if I've just wasted $2300+ (tax included).

Back up all data before proceeding.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership, permissions, and access controls to the default. If you've intentionally set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it, but you do need to follow the instructions below.
Step 1
If you have more than one user, and the one in question is not an administrator, then go to Step 2.
Triple-click anywhere in the following line on this page to select it:
sudo find ~ $TMPDIR.. -exec chflags -h nouchg,nouappnd,noschg,nosappnd {} + -exec chown -h $UID {} + -exec chmod +rw {} + -exec chmod -h -N {} + -type d -exec chmod -h +x {} + 2>&-
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
Paste into the Terminal window by pressing command-V. I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command may take several minutes to run, depending on how many files you have. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2 (optional)
Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1, if you prefer not to take it, or if it doesn't solve the problem.
Start up in Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open. In that window, type this:
resetp
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
Select your startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select
 ▹ Restart
from the menu bar.

Photoshop won't start: Could not open a scratch file because the file is locked, you do not have necessary access permissions, or another program is using the file.

Adobe Photoshop CS6 Extended
"Could not open a scratch file because the file is locked, you do not have necessary access permissions, or another program is using the file."
I've tried finding and checking and fixing permissions but no success.
This happened from one day to the next. I think it has to do with the sn attached to the disk rather then the motherboard. I have the suite co-installed with Symphony 5.05. I've tried reinstalling.
What's to b done? The rest of the Creative Suite 6 (AE, AI etc.) works fine.
Anyone...?

Have you tried restoring the Preferences yet?

Could not save Preferences because the file is locked, you do not have necessary access permissions, or another program is using the file. Use the 'Get Info' command in the Finder to ensure the file is unlocked and you have permission to access the file.

Message "another program on your computer would like to modify Firefox with the following add-on" appears every time a new user logs in... Bad problem

I have just deployed an image to over 500 workstations, and they are all deep frozen using deepfreeze.
When users are logging in, and open Firefox they are getting the message "another program on your computer would like to modify firefox with the following add-on:" Adobe Acrobat - Create PDF 1.2
Yes I know u can do a one-time click and allow, but we have potentially 50,000+ students logging into these PCs and it is unacceptable that they are greeted with this message rather than the Homepage.
This is very dissapointing, as we upgraded to the latest version of firefox in preperation for rollout, and then added some software like adobe.
The profile is kept in the default user, so everytime a user logs in, they will get prompted with the message, and this will always happen because we use deepfreeze.
I need a FIX ASAP from mozilla on how to disable this pop-up via Group Policy...
Not at all happy,
Sharpy

Hi,
One way you could try is to install Firefox on a fresh PC/image which has the same Adobe software versions installed as the clients. You may also have to install the same extensions as well as software for any additional plugins as on the clients. Start Firefox and make sure everything is okay. After that you can copy and overwrite the '''extensions.ini''', '''extensions.sqlite''' and '''pluginreg.dat''' files and probably the '''extensions''' folder and any supporting files of the extensions from this fresh profile, onto a client profile after temporarily disabling/unfreezing Deep Freeze. If everything is okay you can then push the changes onto the other clients via a logon/startup script after temporarily disabling Deep Freeze and then re-enable Deep Freeze.

What does the message "Another program has control of HP imaging device mean"? I get this when I am trying to scan.

What does the message "another program ha control of HP imaging mean when I am trying to scan something. How do i correct it?

You may need to ask HP. I had the same issue with a networked (via ethernet) home HP multi-function. Sometimes the only way to get it to scan was to completely disconnect it from the network and connect it to only one Mac with a USB cable. Even that did not alwatys work.
Eventually, Apple started pushing out HP printer updates via Software Update. One of those finally made that error message to go away.
So run Software Update and see it there are new drivers that Apple made avaialble.

Message "another computer is using the printer".

I have printer IP 8720 and installed one printer. When I tried to print I get message "another computer is using the printer".

Why Aperture 3 is not detecting all Exposure Program use by my Nikon D5200

Hi there ! I just wanted to know why Aperture 3 is not detecting Exposure Program use by my Nikon D5200 camera in my metadata photos ? It only detects Aperture Mode and Shutther Mode. I should say that using Adobe's Light Room detects all Esposure Programs / Scenery / Effects so the metadadata is there.
Thanks in advance,

I have doubt why my below program's thread is not synchronized.A thread can't be synchronized; a method or a code block can.
Whereas both the thread t1 and t2 shares same object called 't'.So? There is nothing in test that is shared between the two except the method, and that is synchronized, which prevents t1 and t2 from executing it at the same time. What you can't know is whether t1 or t2 will execute first (although t1 probably will more often, simply because it was started first and will hit method() very quickly).
But if I use the same program by implementing runnable interface instead of extending Thread class, its working fine(ie both thread are synchronized)As isocdev said, I suggest you post the version that uses Runnable as well (and please use code tags as he suggested; for what you've already posted I suggest you just edit the post).

ISight not detected when using VMWare

When I'm booting with my Windows partition using Boot Camp, iSight works find. But when I use Windows via VMWare Fusion, iSight isn't detected.
How can I fix this?

Nevermind, I figured it out.
Go to "settings" and enable it.
It's weird that VMWare doesn't have that enabled by default O_o

Built in iSight Not Detected

Hi,
Having an issue with my MacBook Pro where in iMovie, I am not able to select my built in iSight as an input source to record with (Camera Not Detected). Photo Booth works fine, and the issue recurs in a clean account.
I have no problem with this software on both my MacBook (2008) and iMac (2006), running the same OS version. I'm assuming this has something to do with the new hardware.
Apple Support claims that the software is incompatible with Snow Leopard, but is working fine otherwise. Just wondering if anyone here has had the same problem and has been able to shed some light as to why this occurs/ how to fix it.
Thanks!

I do not have the problem and I cannot shed any light as to "why" you have the problem, but here are my best thoughts based on your info.
I often use iM6HD for quick iSight clips on MacPro using the iSight built into my LED Cinema Display. iM6HD works as well with my MacBook Pro. Both run SL.
I sometimes see strange color blinks in the preview window *before I begin to record*, but there is no problem while I am recording.
My inbuilt iSights shows up in the camera selection button just as it did in previous Mac OSs.
Have you selected "iSight" when you create your new movie project?
Are you observing the prohibition against running another camera apps when you open iMovie?
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3095
Have you restarted the Mac?
I see you have tested in a "clean account". If that means a new user account, my only other thought would be whether a clean install of the OS with NO other software additions might give any insight?
If nothing helps, you may be right that there is something special about the new hardware.
If that is the case, why not capture your iSight video in SL's QuickTimeX? Then import the clip into whichever iMovie/editor you like for editing.

Built in Isight not detected in USB

Hi,
I got the new IMac now and was using the isight. Had funw ith it and suddenly after I updated my system, Isight refused to work and the common error that everyone has" photobooth, cam used elsewhere" came in. So I checked the docs and found out that the cam is not detected in the USB list in the system profiler. Now how do you fix that??
Any help is welcome.
Thank you

You are welcome, Ebenezer.
However, while I understand that you are frustrated, I am not certain that I understand the attitude or intent of your posts here.
And another thing...Kindly see that the right SMC should be 1.1f5 but mine is 1.6f0... we dont have support from Apple...

If, after you have tried reapplying it, you believe that there is a problem specifically with the iMac EFI Firmware Update 1.1, you can copy the relevant parts of your writing from this thread and paste it into appropriate Product Feedback to be certain that Apple will see your comments.

I will be pleased to try to help further in any way I can.

ISight not detected

My external iSight was working fine on may Mac Mini until yesterday. Now, iChat will not detect the camera. When I plug it in, the light lights up for 2-3 seconds, then the camera makes a noise sounding like it's focusing, and the light turns off. I tried resetting the PRAM and reconnecting the camera, to no avail. Does anyone have any clue as to what might be wrong?

Hi,
Can you open System Profiler ?
It is in Applications/Utilities but can be opened by the Apple iCon menu > About this Mac and the More Info button
Use the Reveal triangles to open Hardware and then Firewire for the External iSight
Now select the iSight in the right hand pane.
What firmware does it say it is running ?
Have you tried the things list on the EZ Jim page posted above ?

Why am I not informed that another program will be downloaded with Adobe update

why an I not informed that Adobe update will install another program with in,such as McAfee.. I don't want programs that i don't choose myself

oh, you may be right.
when you go to the flash player web page, Adobe - Install Adobe Flash Player you'll see the mcafee option. but if you allow auto-updates, you may not see that.
i never allow flash player to auto-update for that reason (and because i am a flash developer and use a different flash player version to debug web-based swfs). you have limited (or no) control over what happens when you allow flash player to auto-update.
i hate that and sympathize with the plight you went through. it happened to me once many years ago. i learned to never allow that again.
hopefully, you were able to uninstall mcafee and not have any residual problem-causing detritus left on your system.

Get the message - another device is using the same address

I keep getting the message that another device is using the same ip address. I have to turn off my MacBook Pro from wifi and then back on again. Sometimes the wifi doesn't come back on for my MacBook Pro.
Running Mountain Lion. Thought all this hassle would be solved.

To follow up on what Thomas has said.
You have a device on your network that is using a fixed IP address in the range of addresses that your router assigns addresses from. You'll need to figure out what device that is and change its settings so that it gets a dynamic IP address assigned by the wireless router.
Or your MBP has a Fixed IP.
Or if you need certain devices to have Fixed IPs, like a printers which should always be assigned a fixed IP, then you need to assign those IPs out side the DHCP Pool range the router uses to hand out Dynamic IP but yet still in the total range of the routers IP address.
