  • Photobooth not working, can't take pictures/record videos!!! HELP!

    I wanted to record a video for a friend and it says to connect the camera but the built isight is not even detected and, I tried checking other applications that use the isight camera and none of them detect it...HELP PLEASE!

    Welcome to  Discussions, ggMACuser88
    If you get no better answer from iNtel Mac users, disconnect all peripherals (except your modem & router, if you use one,) restart your MacBook, and quit all apps but the ONE you are testing while trying to solve your problem. The try the following possible fixes:
    (1) Try the easiest thing first. Test immediately following your restart to see whether your built-in iSight works now. Sometimes merely restarting your Mac will restore its function.
    (2) If restarting does not resolve your problem, repair permissions using Disk Utility and test again to see whether that is the problem. If you have difficulty finding DU, use your Finder > Go > Utilities menu command to look in your "Utilities" folder.
    For more details, search your Mac's Disk Utility > Help for "Repairing disk permissions" (without the quotation marks,) or look at this kBase article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1452
    Repair permissions and then check to see if your camera works correctly.
    (3) If you still have a problem, follow all of Apple's iSight troubleshooting recommendations:
     http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2090
    The "PMU reset" suggested there can sometimes resolve iSight problems.
    (4) If the problem remains, you can try the following:
      • Backup all important files.
      • Repair permissions.
      • Download and apply the Mac OS X 10.5.6 Combo Update.
        http://support.apple.com/downloads/MacOS_X_10_5_6_ComboUpdate
      • Repair permissions again immediately following the restart that completes the install.
      • Test your iSight again to see if it works now with more than one app.
    Using the above process to apply the Combo Updater sometimes solves strange problems, especially if you normally use your Mac's Software Update... to update Mac OS.
    (5) If your iSight works after propelry applying the Combo Updater, reconnect your disconnected peripherals and check again. (To eliminate the possibility of a conflict with one individual peripheral, I reconnect peripherals one-at-a-time, testing between each reconnection.)
    (6) If your built-in iSight still does not work with any app or show as a USB device in your Mac's System Profiler utility, contact Apple or an Apple-Authorized Service Provider for service.
    One of the above will get your iSight working again.

    Hi Midnightbrat,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    The troubleshooting steps for the camera on the iPad are similar to the iPhone:  I've highlighted the pertinent steps below:
    Hardware troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2802
    Camera
    If the screen shows a closed lens or black image, force quit the Camera app.
    If you do not see the Camera app on the Home screen, try searching for it in Spotlight. If the camera does not show up in the search, check to make sure that Restrictions are not turned on by tapping Settings > General > Restrictions.
    Ensure the camera lens is clean and free from any obstructions. Use a microfiber polishing cloth to clean the lens.
    Third-party cases can interfere with the autofocus/exposure feature and the flash; try removing the case if you have image-quality issues with photos.
    Try turning the iPad off and then back on.
    Tap to focus the camera on the subject. The image may pulse or briefly go in and out of focus as it adjusts.
    Try switching between the front and the back cameras to verify if the issue persists on both.
    I hope this information helps ....
    Have a great day!

  • Can't take pictures with Image Capture - Canon  Camera

    I can't take pictures using Image Capture using either my Canon Power Shot A710IS or my husband's SD600. I can download pictures with both cameras, but if I switch to shooting mode, Image Capture says "No Image Capture Device Connected." I know it worked with my PowerShot A75, but my *&%$ son broke it.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    I would call (800) 828-4040 Canon Tech Support. I have found them very helpful, and its easier than typing here

    Any ideas of what may be the problem? Also is it a good idea to remove the battery to solve the problem and if I do so will alll my like memos, contacts etc be erased?
    Thanks a lot!

    removing the battery may fix some glitches on the phone but it doe's erase files.

  • How can I take pictures

    Hi
    I just bought the new IPod nano with video camera. How can I take picture?
    Is there any way we can do it? Tanks
    Denis

    It is a video camera, you cannot just take stills with it. Once you get the video onto your computer, you can use software to just capture a frame of the video if you like.

  • How can I take pictures of my screen?

    How can I take pictures of my screen and then save it?
    I need help.
    Thankyou.

    You mean take a screencapture?
    Here are some useful keyboard shorcuts:
    Screen Capture to disk:
       command Shift Key 3                   Screen to jpeg file on desktop
      command Shift Key 4 + Drag:           Selection to jpeg file on desktop
      command Shift Key 4 + Spacebar:       Window (click camera) to jpeg file
    There is also SnapNDrag Pro, it was free yesterday on App Store.
    Hope this helps,

  • HT1688 I purchased more ICloud storage for my Iphone because I couldn't take any more pictures, or download any mor apps. The extra strorage that I purchased did not change anything on my phone. I still can't take pictures or download apps. Help!!

    I purchased extra Icloud storage because I couldn't take any more pictures on my phone, or download any more apps. The extra storage purchase did not change a thing. I still can't take pictures or download apps. Help!!

    Icloud storage has nothing at all to do with the storage on your iphone.
    Icoud storage is on a server somwewhere, not on your iphone.
    You need to delete content from your iphone

  • I can't take pictures with my iphone

    I can't take pictures with my iphone b/c it says I don't have enough storage. I only have 120 pics on the phone now. My settings show I have 14.6 GB available of a total 15 GB. Why can't I access it to take pics?

    Have you tried a Reset...
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.

  • HT201318 I have downloaded the 10gb, but I can't take pictures

    I have downloaded the 10gb, but I still can't take pictures?? How can I get back to taking pictures?

    What do you mean, 'downloaded'? Take pictures where? Are you saying that you have an iPhone or iPad and you don't have enough memory for any more pictures? Adding the 10GB won't have any effect - it's extra space on the iCloud server for Documents, email, Contacts, Calendars and iPhone backup. You can't increase the memory on an iPad or iPhone by any means. If this isn't your issue please clarify what you mean.
