Flash to work in photo booth on my iMac

I cannot get the flash to work in photo booth on my iMac. It is enabled but no flash. There is a flash on the screen but not in my face for example. Can you help?

Something I have not tried before but it is the same on my Macbook Pro.

Flash not working in photo booth.

The flash in photo booth on my iMac is not working. When I take a pic, the screen flashes but the pic is still dark. Was working fine yesterday. I did install the latest osx today. That's the only changes since then.

In case anyone is interested in your screen flash not working in the Yosemite or Maverick photo booth application, I finally called Apple today and he kept insisting it was working on his - I asked him to take a pic with the screen flash enabled and then disable it and he said it came out the same. And rationalized that it was because he was in a well lit room. I kept telling him in my old photo booth from system 10.6.8 that my face was lit up and my husband had reflections from his glasses so we went from him wanting me to reinstall my software (I refused since both computers were having the same problem - one using Yosemite and the other using Maverick) to him finally going into HIS partitioned disk that has system 10.6.8 on it to discover that the flash there reflected off HIS glasses too. Bottom line is he admitted there has to be some flaw that prevented the photo booth flash from working for Maverick and Yosemite. Whew, finally validation!

Isight works with photo booth but not in ichat or google talk or skype?

isight works with photo booth but not in ichat or google talk or skype?

Hi
Is this an Internal or External iSight ?
In iChat, in the Video Menu (This is to the right of Buddies and may read Audio) is Camera Enabled Ticked ?
If it reads Audio open the Connection Doctor from that same menu.
In the connection Doctor open the Capabilities tab
Does it say your Internet Connection is too slow ?
At this point I would need to know which iChat Version.
However also look in the View Menu.
Is Show VIdeo Status ticked ? (this shows green Icons next to your Buddy Pic and those of your Buddies
Next go to the iChat Menu > Preferences > Video Section
Do you see a preview here ?
Re: GoogleTalk
Have you enabled TALK on your Google Account Settings ?
You need to have a Google Mail ID (Not any other sort of Google ID)
Have you downloaded the Intel only Web Browser Plug-in to do Video in a Web Browser.

Green light blinks continually...camera does not work in photo booth or face time.Any suggestions?

Hi Rogerya,
Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities. It sounds like you may be experiencing issues with the built-in FaceTime camera (also known as iSight) on your MacBook Air. The following resource provides relevant troubleshooting information that you can try:
How to Troubleshoot iSight - Apple Support
https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT2090
Important: Follow these instructions in order. Test the camera between steps to see if the issue is resolved.
Built-in iSight cameras
These steps are for iSight cameras that are built into a computer, such as the iMac G5 (iSight) or later, the MacBook, or MacBook Pro.
1. See if the issue is application-specific.
Try another application (iSight works with applications like iChat, PhotoBooth, and iMovie HD 6) to see if the iSight camera exhibits the same behavior in all applications. If it only happens in one application, try reinstalling that application.
2. See if the issue is user-specific.
Test your iSight camera in another user account. If the issue only occurs in one user, the issue would be isolated to user settings.
3. Find out if the computer recognizes the iSight
Check System Profiler (in the Utilities folder, inside the Applications folder). Under the USB header, check to see if the iSight camera is detected.
4. Reset SMC or PMU
Reset your computer's SMC or PMU, and then check System Profiler again. (SMC reset instructions for iMac G5 (iSight), Intel-based iMacs; PMU reset instructions for MacBook and MacBook Pro.)
If your built-in iSight camera is still not behaving correctly after trying all these steps, you may need to contact Apple or an Apple-Authorized Service Provider for service.

Isight is not working on ichat and skype, however will work on photo booth and imovie.

My isight will not work on ichat or skype, saying that there is no camera connected. isight will work in photo booth and imovie. It shows up in the system profiler. Have tried resetting SMC. Help?

(1) Here is how I would proceed to isolate the underlying problem that requires corrective action.
• Shut down everything.
• Then restart modem and allow its self-test to complete.
• Then restart router or wireless access point (if you have them) and allow self-test to complete.
• Then restart Mac.
• Use  > Software Update... (Update your Apple software if not current.)
• Then test Photo Booth or iMovie with no other apps else running to ensure they still work.
• Then quit your test app and try iChat with no other apps else running.
• If iChat works, quit iChat and try Skype with no other apps else running.
(2) If iChat works but Skype does not,
• Verify that you are using the latest version of Skype that is compatible with your OS X (10.5.8) Mac.
• Update if necessary.
• Then test Skype again with no other apps else running.
• If Skype problems remain but your camera works with everything else, Skype's comprehensive support system should best be able to help you use their product with your system.
Start here: https://support.skype.com/
Or, click this link for help specifically related to Mac video calls.
You can also search or post for help with your problem in Skype's dedicated Skype Discussions for Mac. The Skype users who post there may have already solved the same problem.
If nothing else works, you can even sign in and ask for email help directly from Skype's Technical Support people.
(3) If you still have trouble with more than one app, you may need to use Disk Utility to:
• repair permissions,
• repair your disk,
• or even reinstall Mac OS.
If you reinstall OS X 10.5, use the Mac OS X 10.5.8 Combo Update to return to the latest version in one update step.

I just deleted photo booth from my imac how do i get it back!?

I just deleted photo booth from my imac how do i get it back?

Did you just remove it from the dock?
If so, then it is still in your applications folder.
If it is really deleted, then you need to get it back from your time machine back up if you have one or or from a OS install disk if you have one.

ISight no longer working with Photo Booth

While my Isight works perfectly with iCHat, it no longer turns on when I start Photo Booth. I was wondering if anyone could help me with this.

Hi Kane,
Try this. Go to Home-Library-Preferences. Locate the com.apple.PhotoBooth.plist. Drag it to the trash and delete it. Then open Photobooth again.

Welcome to Discussions, Stanley Chung
Sorry you are still having problems even after trying the good suggestions from Ralph and Boomer.
I did not see specifically from your posts that your iSight worked before upgrading to Snow Leopard, but I am inferring from your topic's title that it did. If your iMac came with Snow Leopard installed, please post and tell us whether you erased the disk and reinstalled all your iMac's software before you started using it. If you upgraded your iMac to Snow Leopard, consider the following.
(1) Until you get iSight working, do all your testing while no peripherals other than keyboard/mouse are attached to your iMac. To eliminate all possibility of any conflict external to your Mac, be sure you also disconnect any wireless devices (iPod, printer, etc) connected to your system.
(2) If you still have problems with all you have tried, it seems to me that you must have a software issue. You might try uninstalling Skype and VMWare and testing again to see if those installations are causing a conflict.
(3) Check the support sites for all of your third party software to be sure there are no known Snow Leopard issues and that you are using the latest compatible versions.
(4) If the problem still exists and you have not already tried this, reinstall Snow Leopard, repairing permissions immediately before and after the reinstall.
(5) If your problem remains and System Profiler still shows your inbuilt iSight as a USB device, I suggest you backup all important files, erase your disk, reinstall all Apple software, and test to see if iSight works properly. Once it does, you can install any necessary peripherals and third-party apps one-at-a-time, testing after each addition to see if one of them is causing problems.

ISight not working in Photo Booth with NEW MacBook Air?

I purchased an 11" MacBook Air and received it on May 29, 2014. When I got it, I had no problems with the webcam. Now, whenever I open Photo Booth, it doesn't load. All it shows is a white loading icon on a black screen. My webcam works in FaceTime, Skype, etc., but not Photo Booth. I've tried it in test user, I've tried SCM and PRAM reset, I've re-installed Mavericks, and I've installed the combo update, and nothing has worked. What could be the problem, and how can I resolve it?

Audio not working in Photo Booth, video works fine

When I record video in Photo Booth the video works fine, the audio does not work. I have looked through other forums and tried what they have suggested but nothing is working. I sware it worked once but now I can't figure it out.

Hi,
Do you mean these http://ismileys.free.fr/moreichateffects/ ?
They have not really worked in Snow Leopard and should be deleted
There are also these http://ichatfx.com/iChatFX/Home.html which seem more stable.

Microsoft NX-6000 works with Photo Booth, not with iChat

I'm trying to use a Microsoft NX-6000 webcam with my wife's MacBook running 10.5.5. The camera appears properly in System Profiler, and it works properly with Photo Booth. However, iChat tells me that the camera is in use by another application, even after rebooting and ensuring that iChat is the only app running. Is there a way to fix this? (and yes, I know the MacBook has a built-in iSight but she's using it in clamshell mode, so that won't help!)

I had 3IVX and deleted it and it works now..
Uninstall it if you have it.

My camera will not work with Photo booth or any other camera application.

I have an iMac Intel 21.5".
Camera has always worked just fine.
Suddenly it has stopped.
The green light right next to the camera is on, but nothing is displayed on the screen (photo booth).
No error message is displayed either.
I have already tried the reset function (turn off, remove all cables and power cable for 10 sec, and turn it back on) but it hasn't worked.
Any thoughts?
Thanks

Brand new MBP, iSight works for Photo Booth, but not iChat

Hello. I just transferred all my stuff to my new MBP. When I try to video chat in iChat, I get the 'camera in use by another application.'
I opened Photo Booth and the iSight works fine.
I deleted the iChat prefs files, but it did not solve the issue.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Isight not working in photo booth after Leopard install

After installing Leopard, isight doesn't work when opening photobooth. I get a grey screen and nothing more. The green light isn't illimuniated. When clicking on the "take a photo" button, the countdown occurs and photobooth goes through the photo taking motions, even making the noises, but nothing shows up and I am unable to click the "take a photo" button again with closing and reopening photobooth. When in imovie, isight works fine. isight also shows up in my system profiler. Any suggestions? Thanks.
