Flash for Photo Booth not working.  Can it be fixed?

My flash in Photo Booth stopped working--can it be fixed?  And if so, can a local computer store do it?

Apple doesn't fix phones, they replace them.  Bring your phone and $199 to Apple for an out of warranty replacement.  Damage to the camera by the excessive heat has voided your warranty.

    Facetime, Appstore and Photo booth not working OS X

    I would recommend first doing a PRAM reset. You can find instructions for that in https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3603.
    Please let us know if that works or not, there are several other things you can try.

  • Photo Booth Not Working

    Hi there! OK. Seasoned user here, just can't quite figure this out... My Photo Booth application isn't working correctly. It is not saving the picture. After I take a picture (of myself, for example) it will freeze on the picture and not show the photo down below, its just blank. Then, I have to close the program. When I restart it the photo is not there... I tried trashing the plist file for Photo Booth to no avail. I tried restarting, repairing permissions, etc. Nothing works. I even tried reinstalling the "bundled apps" dvd and no go... Ok, can anyone help me with this? Am I going to have to reinstall Mac OS X? I would rather not since it's fully updated to 10.6.3 (and since I recently had to wipe everything out and start over already) someone please advise... Oh! Another tidbit.. I checked the Console log after Photo Booth freezes up and it keeps reporting this in Console:
    "* -[NSCFArray initWithObjects:count:]: attempt to insert nil object at objects[0]"
    Help!

    To all those having the same freezing issues in Photo Booth (not allowing you to save photos within program) Discussions user "maahs_k " has helped me. Here was his solution for another user that ultimately helped me! maybe it will help you too...
    check your photo booth folder permissions
    macintosh hd/users/your_user/pictures/"photo booth"
    I've had a number of the machines at my building have that folder's owner become blank or change to system.
    once you have the folder selected in the finder go to
    File->"Get Info"
    and if your user isn't listed as the owner with
    read & write
    privileges then click the + to add your user and/or change your privilages then try to take a picture in photobooth.

  • Photo Booth not working, Please help

    I have a Macbook Air, and when i try to take a picture on photo booth it says "Photo Booth couldn’t save your photos, Photo Booth encountered an error when trying to save your photos. Your photos cannot be saved at this time. I went to finder clicked "Get info" for photo booth, then under sharing & permissions I added my name to owner under "read & write". I then tried to take a picture but it still will not work. Does anyone know hot to fix this?

    First, undo the damage you did by repairing permissions in Disk Utility. Never change the permissions of any file unless you're certain you know what the effect will be. The change you made will have no effect on the problem.
    Launch the Console 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. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try the action that you're having trouble with again. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
    When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.

  • HT4906 my i photo is not working how do i fix it?

    Hi Friends,
    I was unable to make DVD, so I went to apple Store and they downloaded Idvd for me, Now I can create DVD, but now i realize my I photo is not working.
    I stay far from Apple Store, and It is not convinient to visit the store again. I am trying to update softwear, but it is not working as the softwear was updated In apple store with support ID, so now If I go for softwear update, it is asking for same support login ID of the store which I do not have and in absense of it I am unable to update I photo.
    Is there any suggestions you can advise...

    You need to contact that store, because you will never be able to update without sorting out that login ID.
    What does "not working" mean?

    Welcome to Discussions, jenniferroyce
    (1) If you have not already done so since you reinstalled Photo Booth, I suggest you use your Mac's Disk Utility to repair permissions and then try Photo Booth again. If you have never repaired permissions before, be patient. If your disk requires much repair, the process can take up to several hours the first time.
    (2) If your Photo Booth problem persists after repairing permissions, backup all important information on your Mac before restoring again. If you need help with backup, see your Mac's Help or
      http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1553
    (3) After you have backed up your Mac, reinstall Photo Booth again.
    If your Mac came with OS X 10.5.x, the easiest way to do this is to reinstall all of your Mac's Apple bundled application software by using the DVD that came your iMac. (The software restore disk for another kind of Macs doesn't work.) Photo Booth is one of the applications that will be restored.
    If you need help with this restore process, follow the instructions in the User Guide manual that also came with your Mac. If you do not have access to your User Guide, you can download it by finding your Mac here and following the links for "Manuals" for your specific model:
      http://www.apple.com/support/imac/
    If your iMac came with a version of OS X earlier than 10.5.x and you upgraded to Leopard, use your Leopard upgrade DVD and instructions to reinstall the Leopard bundled apps.
    I suggest you *repair permissions* immediately before and after restoring your apps.

  • Photo Booth Not working after reinstalling my OS

    A bunch of programs got stolen from me while I was connected to the internet. My whole CS, dreamweaver and photobooth of all apps. So I reinstalled my OS so that photobooth would be back on. Now when I open it its just a blank screen.. like my camera isnt working or something. Not even, there isnt even a black screen. Its just blank. It used to work somewhat when I reinstalled it but all the view modes for the camera looked wacked out. Can anyone help me to fix my photobooth?

  • Saved search for Photo Stream not working in Mavericks

    I have a saved search for JPGs in my photo stream so I can easily access them via Finder instead of iPhoto. In Mavericks my saved search no longer sees my latest photo stream iPhone pics. Anyone else notice this? I can see them in iPhoto though. I've tried re-doing the search, etc, but it doesn't work. Any suggestions?

    Oh man, I've been beating my head on the desk trying to fix this. The only clue I have is that photos taken from iOS 7 (vs iOS 6) devices after about a week ago (wasn't there an OS X update recently?) don't show up in finder the same. When you dig through the "sub" folder to find the long-named folders with the photostream files in them, hit command+i and check out the "More Info:" section. The recent ones don't have anything in them (see http://d.pr/i/WKzR). Furthermore if you drill down to one of those folders containing such an image (see: http://d.pr/i/nIUP) and try to create a saved search from there it won't show up (see: http://d.pr/i/FOri).
    I even tried to create an automator to pull those images out, but when you're searching for a file in any of those new folders finder doesn't see anything.
    Not an answer for ya, just more confusion. Let me know if you get any bright ideas.

  • Photo Booth not working after Leopard install

    I have a mac mini and a ViewSonic VX2235wmb (LCD with a usb web cam built in). Before installing Leopard, the web cam worked with iChat and Photo Booth, without the need for any additional drivers. After installing Leopard, iChat works, but not Photo Booth. Here's what I get when I open the app:

    I've tried the 3rd party driver apps, but I get the same results. Any suggestions?

    I have the exact same problem with the ViewSonic VX2255wmb (LCD with a usb web cam built in).
    On Leopard it works fine with iChat, but does the same squiggly mess as your snapshot when run with Photo Booth.

  • 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.

  • Isight not supported after installing os x 10.4.9, photo booth not working

    Dear All,
    I have been facing this problem lately with Photo Booth which gives an error saying: "photo booth cannot be opened, because no camera installed or camera used by other application."
    My isight camera is surely not used by any another application. I have tried restart my Mac Book several times but everytime I get the same message. Also, it has disappeared from my system profiler.
    I'm sure there are people who can help me resolve the issue. I am new to Apple product.

  • Why is my Photo Booth not working now that I installed OS X Mountain Lion?

    I just updated to the OS X Mountain Lion and now my Photo Booth will not work. If I try and open Photo Booth it says "You can't use this version of the application "Photo Booth" with this version of OS X. You have "Photo Booth" 3.0.3." Why wouldn't the new software include a new version of Photo Booth?

    Photo Booth version 5 came with Mountain Lion. Try running Software Update to see if the program will update.
    If you can't find it you may have to try reinstalling Mountain Lion.
