Camera not working in Photobooth-in use by other application or not connect

Upon entering photobooth, the internal camera is reported to be either in use by another application or not connected. It doesn't appear to be working in other applications either. Any suggestions?

Does the camera have a setting for plain old DV output. (and 4.3 three if you don't want it Letter-boxed)
iChat tends not to see anything else from Firewire cameras.
Have you tried Shutting down the Computer and restarting ?
Do a full shut down and use the power Button to Restart (not the Restart Option)
If that does not work, then try the second part of this FAQ by Gulliver

It suggest running the CRon Scripts with OnyX or Cocktail (MacJanitor unfortunately does not work in Leopard) The others come as Trials and do other things.

  • Camera not connected in macbook air ios 10.6.8

    Camera not connected appeared in my macbook air when I tried to access camera booth yesterday. This happened in late 2011. I took the macbook to an apple service centre and was told that it was a hardware problem. I delayed sending it for repair and in the meantime in february 2012 there was a camera update which I installed and that solved the problem. Lately I had installed several updates and now I am faced with the similar problem of "camera not connected" when I tried to access photobooth and all the other applications that require a camera. I  need help as my extended waranty is about to expire in a few days time. I have not much confidence in the macs as I find that the camera goes missing after updates? Please help! Thank you

    You need to take it into an Apple store to be fixed. You should of done that back when it first happened. I suggest you do it before your Applecare warranty runs out.

  • Web Cam being used by other application

    I have a web cam that says is being used by other application when I try to Skype.  I look at System Profiler and it says under hardware I have a SiGma Micro.
    Why does occasionally comes on but is very dark and cloudy.  How do I check USB to see if this is really the camera that is connected.  The web Cam is self has not logo or company markings. I tried unplugging  and switching ports with keyboard and mouse does nothing. What can I do?

    Vel,
    As the error say, another application could be holding on to the webcam. What application are you using for your video chat? Check your task manager processes and see if there's any applications that could also be using the webcam feature like MSN Messenger, Yahoo Messenger, etc...and end their task if you're not using them.

    Camera not connected??  I haven't seen that error message before.  If pulling the Battery doesn't help resolve the problem then I would contact Verizon or LG Support to see about getting the phone replaced...
    This topic has been covered in a few other threads, so I would search those as well for help...  But for those who are new to Android, this might help.
    The Battery not holding a charge?  There are several reasons this could be happening.
    * If the Ally is new, then I recommend that the first few times, you completely charge the ally, like overnight, and then fully discharge it before recharging and then repeat the cycle.  I noticed that on my Ally the Battery life actually got better than it was out of the box, to some extent.
    * App/Process management....  This can be a huge factor since the Ally is a multitasking platform and you can have unneeded processes running in the background chewing up battery life and processor cycles.  Check that the services like WiFi and GPS are only on when needed.  Check that apps like WeatherBug are configured properly so they don't continually update when not needed
    * Bad Signal area??  If your phone is struggling to get or maintain a Cell signal or Data signal that it will severely impact your battery life...  Check to see how Many Signal Bars you are getting and note if your phone seems to flip flop back and forth between '1x' and '3G' service...  this will help determine whether you are in a good location or not
    * Finally, it could be a Bad Battery/Phone...  Smart Phone battery life is not as good as a "Feature Phone" or Basic Phone but it still should be better than what you are seeing...  I would eliminate all of the other potential suspects before looking to replace the battery.
    Sorry for going over some basic stuff, but maybe it will help others as well.

  • I am not able to Sync. My iPOD classic 80Gb. It tells that as iTunes can not read the contents-restore to factory settings- after restoring – it tells that it can not be restore bcause there are files that are used by other application. I am having Widows

    I am not able to Sync. My iPOD classic 80Gb. It tells that as iTunes can not read the contents-restore to factory settings- after restoring – it tells that it can not be restored bcause there are files that are used by other application. My iPOD appears in My Computer in drive H as a mass storage generick volume

    Try disabilng the Enable Disk Use option from under the iPod's Summary tab, applying the changes, and seeing if that helps.
    Otherwise, temporarily disabling any antivirus, security, firewall, or file indexing software that may be running on your system and then try restoring your iPod again.

  • Using Final Cut Pro, can we create a subtitle which can be used in other applications?

    Can a subtitle file be created using FCP and later use in other application?

    Export as ProRes 4444 if the title has alpha channel otherwise you'll lose the transparency.

  • FaceTime & Photobooth states Camera not connected on Lion

    I just upgraded to Lion on my macbook air. FaceTime and Photobooth both stated that my camera is not connected. How to fix this problem?

    I had that exact same problem... along with many others. None of my applications were opening properly including mail.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3964
    This fixed everything for me. Facetime worked right away, photobooth hung once, but when i force closed and restarted it is working beautifully again. (Scroll down to the blue links and select the one applicable for you, in this case it would be "Resetting the SMC on portables with a battery you should not remove on your own")
    Let me know if it works!

  • Isight camera "not connected" but IS in USB configuration

    My iSight [BUILT-IN] camera keeps being reported as "There is no camera connected" in 'Photo Booth', though it Does show up in the USB configuration of System Profiler, and most times still functions OK using Google Video Chat. (for the first 'known' time, it did not work for Google this past week)
    So far, resetting the SMC has corrected the problem, but only for a few hours.
    Is there a COMMAND I can give the MacBook to do what the SMC "fixes"?
    Why is it being controlled by "System Preferences - Other - Flash Player"   instead of "Hardware"??  It seems that I Can Not just set it to "Block" because this also asks if I want Google Mail to be "allowed", which is my video chat method.
    There are NO other users (a TEST account is set up for when I sent it to Apple last year, but that is Not Used); I simply would like to sometimes run Photo Booth to image the room or do a new profile pic, but this Constant Problem stops that.

  • Camera in use by other application?

    iChat AV 4.0.3 (605)
    Hooked up my new JVC Everio (GZ-HD6) via firewire but iChat says that the camera is in use by another application. I do not have any other video applications open. I even restarted the computer (I did have iMovie HD open previously) but still iChat thinks the camera is "busy".
    iMovie sees the camera just fine.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks,

  • Web cam wont start message says in use by another application

    Hello I have recently purchased the Creative LIve!Cam Optia and for some reason the person I am talking to can't see me but I can see them just fine. Every time I go to call someone on Skype I plug in my camera and when the person answers a message pops up in the call tab saying "video error cannot find video source , check to see if it is in use by another application". I have no idea what other application could be using it because I ended up installing most of what came on the installation Cd. I have tried everything from selecting tools on skype then hit options, then I clicked on video settings, then I selected Li've!Cam Optia as my web cam as opposed to selecting default web cam. Then the same message pops up again " Skype did not find preferred video source. Webcam could be in use by another application". The thing that really frustrates me is that sometimes it works perfectly find then it freezes and I try to restart the video and then I loose it completely! PLease help someone I have returned camera prior to this one I don't want to have to do it again for this one. Thank you.

    Two choices left - download iPhoto Library Manager - http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/ - and use its rebuild command - this will rebuild yoru library leaving the original untouched so you can go back to it is things do not make yo happy - this will keep your edits, metadata and events but will not keep projects
    If that does not work Right click on the iPhoto library and show package contents - look in the masters folder - are your original photos there?  If so (and if you have adaquate disk space) duplicate the masters folder and rename the iPhoto library "iPhoto library old" - depress the option key and launch iPhoto ancd create a new library - drag the masters folder to the iPhoto icon in the Dock to import your original photos with your events
    This will give you a new library with your originals - edits, projects and metadata changes will not be available
    And critically start Time Machine up and leave it running

  • Camera not connecting to Aperature

    Hi there-
    I have an issue that is drivng me mad. For the first time, I'm trying to set-up my Canon 5D Mark II to tether to my PowerBook Pro (10.7.4). Aperture cannot connect to the camera. When I tried the Canon utilities, it also doesn't connect. BUT when I take the camera over to my desktop computer, it DOES connect via Aperture.
    I've uninstalled and then reinstalled both Canon and Aperture. Perhaps there is a leftover preference that I'm not deleting???
    Any help!? I'd like to tinker around tonight before my photoshoot tomorrow.
    Many thanks...

    Oh, and I'm using Aperture 3.3.
