Error message on Photo Booth

When I try to open Photo Booth or iChat, I get an error message that says +"Photo Booth cannot open because no camera is attached or the camera is in use by another application"+
I have tried quitting all applications, restarting the computer, disconnecting and reconnecting the computer, and trying Photo Booth on other accounts. I still get the same message.
Thank you for helping,
..bee

Are there photos in the Library? If not then just trash it and launch iphoto. It will make a new one.
If there are pics in it then Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

Messages and Photo Booth not working properly

I've been having a problem with my Messages and Photo Booth applications, as well as a bunch of other Apple applications.
Messages won't let me switch conversations, Photo Booth won't let me click the video recording option, iMovie just won't work and GarageBand won't let me edit compositions. I've tried restarting my computer, but that didn't help (although my computer ran faster).
I also can't close the application without having to actually quit the application instead of clicking the x button.
Help would be gladly appreciated!

You can also try setting up another user account.
Do a backup, using either Time Machine or a cloning program, to ensure files/data can be recovered. Two backups are better than one.
Try setting up another admin user account to see if the same problem continues. If Back-to-My Mac is selected in System Preferences, the Guest account will not work. The intent is to see if it is specific to one account or a system wide problem. This account can be deleted later.

Suddenly iPhoto gives me the error message "your photo library is either in use by another app or has become unreadable". HELP

Suddenly iphoto gives me error message 'your photo library is either in use by another app or has become unreadable'. What can I do?

What version of iPhoto? Assuming 09 or later...
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

Error Message Burning photo's on to CD

I am a new user of Apple Macs and I'm still learning how to use everything. I have my photo's on my computer saved in iPhoto '05, I have been editing away for the last few months now I want to back them up and also put them on CD for other people who do not use Apple.
In the past I have not had a problem putting them on to CD except when I view the photo's on another computer there are several duplicates of the same photo for some reason even though I did not do this?
The other day I tried to put several of my holiday photo's on to CD, using the same brand and type (CD-R 700MB). I filled the disk and had to take a few off as the disk was full. No problem. Started to burn the CD as normal it started writing the images, but when it finished it came up Burning Failed Error Message.
I took the CD and put it in my laptop which is not an apple. It did not read any images on the CD but loads of different folders with dates were created on it. I then put it into my imac but it didn't even recognise the disk was in.
So I de-selected a few more photo's in iPhoto to half fill the disk and tried again. The same message came up. Put it in my laptop again, this time it read the images but they only came up as thumbnails and they were really dark. Once again loads of folders were created with dates and each photo from my library was put in the corresponding folder on the particular day it was taken, even though I never asked it to do this.
I put the CD back into my iMac and once it again it did not read the disk?
Can anyone help me? I was supposed to put all my holiday photo's on CD for my friend by this weekend. Am I doing something wrong in iPhoto or is there something up with my computer?
Thanks.

Just did a Google search and found this rather old discussion concerning that error code.
Seems to be a problem either with the SuperDrive or the media used.
Have you tried burming another brand of media? WIth the same results?

Error message emailing photo from iPhoto

Trying to send a photo from iPhoto and get the error message "The email server doesn't recognize the username/password combination." What are the steps to fix? I don't have a problem copying the photo to my desktop and attaching it and sending an email

Go into iPhoto's Accounts preference pane and delete the email account. Close and relaunch iPhoto and add the account back.
A better option is to change iPhoto's email client to Mail in iPhoto's General preference pane. This will give you better access to your contacts, an automatically saved copy and overall better reliability. Mail ask has photo templates in it's stationary options.

Error Message For Photos that will not import

I transported photos from an old pc to my imac using a flash memory drive.
Of the 1000 or so photos, there are 2 that are "stuck" -- they never uploaded successfully.
Now, whenever I open iPhoto, it says "2 photos were found in the library that were not imported. Do you want to import them"
- When I say "Yes", they get imporeted as "recovered photos" in a separate album. But the next time I open iPhoto, I still get the same error message.
- When I say "No", I'm told of a location in my users folder where these files are saved. I go there and delete them, but get the same error message the next time I open the program.
Help!
Thanks.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
Go to your Pictures Folder and find the iPhoto Library there. Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. A finder window will open with the Library exposed.
Look there for a Folder called 'Import' or 'Importing'.
Drag it to the Desktop. *Make no other changes*.
Start iPhoto. Does that help?

Try this:
To download photos from a folder on your hard disk to iPod:
1 Drag the images you want into a folder on your computer.
If you want images to appear in separate photo albums on iPod, create folders inside the main image folder, and drag images into the new folders.
2 Open iTunes and select iPod in the iTunes Source list. Then click the Options button.
3 Click Photos and select “Synchronize photos from.”
4 Choose “Choose Folder” from the pop-up menu and select your image folder.

I am receiving an error message that "photos has stopped respoding" when I try to upload photos to icloud photo library

I keep receiving an error message "Photos has stopped responding" when I try to upload photos to icloud photo library.

Hi, I had the same problem. I finally figured it out. Plug in the USB cord to your ipad, but beofre plugging it into your computer make sure your ipad is not in the locked or sleep mode. Once I did this, my photos showed up and started downloading. Hope that helps you!

Error message for photo on third of three photo page

I'm dragging and dropping just fine, but on one month where i'm doing three photos (actually the default for March in the Animals Theme), I get the ! in the yellow triangle. Searching Help, it indicates that i have a low resolution problem. However, the res seems fine. And it doens't matter which photo I drop into that slot. They each give me the error message. Any thoughts?
Thanks.

junobear:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. What are the pixel dimensions of the photos you're trying to use?
The first thing to try is to delete the iPhoto folder that's in your User/Library/Caches folder. Then restart iPhoto.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application, iPhoto dB file backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Why am I getting an error message about photo stream?

Every 10 minutes or so, I keep getting a message saying that my phot stream can't access my account on iCloud. I've never used iCloud, but it says I'm signed in, so why does this message keep annoying me?

You are getting an error message because there is an error.
Knowing wht version of Pages you are using, what template you are attempting to open, and what error message Pages is sending you might help determine why you are getting that specific rror message. Without those, the first sentence above i pretty much all that can be said with any assurance.
