Going on a Trip! Photo Booth help?!

Hey guys I recently bought my macbook white after tons of saving up. I LOVE IT. Iv'e had very little problems transferring from windows to mac, especially since Ive grown up with windows. Anyways. I am going on a huge road trip, and I want to take video journals with photobooth. I already have a ton of pictures on there, and I want to start fresh. Here comes the question: How do I delete photos from photobooth, without it deleting right off my mac?
Thanks so much!

You're welcome, Sami56
And thanks for the star!
I have one more question for you...
I accidentally deleted photobooth ... re-installed ... ever since, I have trouble with ... sound...
Sometimes ... sound comes back after a couple of days... sometimes not.
Intermittent problems can be difficult to resolve. I suggest you try the easiest things first, but you can use these suggestions in any order you like.
(1) Because the problem occurs only occasionally, it might be due to changes in your system settings. System Settings _should not_ change unless you modify them, but, the next time you find that Photo Booth (PB) is not recording sound, IMMEDIATELY verify that the microphone you think you are using is selected as your input device in System Preferences... > Sound > Input and that the input level is adjusted appropriately there. Additionally, System Preferences... > Sound > Output settings must be set to the correct output device, balance, and output volume. Also, be sure your speakers are not muted via the keyboard. Now try PB again to see if the sound works. If all settings are correct, but the problem remains, consider (2) below.
(2) If you have not restarted your Mac today, do so and check the recorded clip again to see if PB will play sound now. If not, use PB to record a few seconds of you saying something. Then play it back with PB to test whether sound works in this clip. If so, you may simply need to restart your Mac more often than you usually do to keep simple apps like PB from becoming problematic. If the test recording does not play sound in QT either, move on the the next possibility.
(3) Restart your Mac. Then open your Pictures > Photo Booth folder and find the test video file that you just created. (Unless you made other video clips after you made the test video, its name will be "Movie xx.mov", where "xx" is the highest number you see in a movie file name.)
Now hold down the <control> key while you click on the test movie clip file. Open the file with QuickTime Player. Click the QT play button and see if sound plays in QT. If the sound plays in QT, PB is recording sound, just not playing it back. If no sound plays in QT either, move on the the next possibility.
(4) Restart your Mac. Then use iMovie to record a few seconds of you saying something. (Use your Mac's iMovie > Help if you need assistance on how to record video clips into iMovie from your built-in iSight.) Then save and play back the test clip with iMovie to test whether sound works in this clip. If iMovie works reliably for you, you might want to use iMovie for your "important" video recordings, at least until you can find and fix the cause of your PB problem. Remember, PB is a basic, "fun", application that makes quick snapshots and videos, but serious video recording is most likely more reliable in iMovie.
(5) If you want to consider some other possibilites, use your Mac's  > Software Update... to be certain that your system software and all your Apple apps are up to date. If your software is up-to-date, but the PB problem remains, you can also consider anything relevant from the list of suggestions in this post:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=7089133&#7089133
(6) Because you say the problem began when you reinstalled PB using Pacifist, you might want to reinstall all of your Mac's Apple applications software to verify that your software is not damaged. If you need help, see the instructions in the users guide (manual) that came with your MacBook. If you do not have the manual with you, you can download the manual for your model from this page:
http://support.apple.com/manuals/#macbook
If reinstalling only your applications software does not resolve your problem, backup all your important data and reinstall all your MacBooks software. If you need help, instructions on a complete reinstall are also in the manual. (Reinstalling all your Apple software takes a LONG time, so don't start it when you will need to use your Mac soon.)
Anytime you use an installer that asks for your system administrator password, I suggest that you repair permissions *before AND after* running the installer.
Once you have reinstalled and repaired permissions, use your Mac's  > Software Update... to apply any needed updates. Finish the update process with another permissions repair. If you need help but cannot find what you need in your MacBook's Disk Utility > Help, see this Apple document:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=DiskUtility/10.5/en/duh17.html
Don't be concerned that the instructions are for OS X 10.4. Permissions work the same in 10.5.
(7) If your problem continues and you need more suggestions, when you post back be sure to list which of the above you have tried. Also include any new info you found while applying those suggestions. We will try to offer specific suggestions based on the details in your response.
Cheers,
EZ Jim

Photo Booth Help?

Hi,
I recently downloaded More iChat Effects 2.0.4 from Apple.com. (http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/email_chat/moreichateffects.html)
However, after installing it a lot of the effects do not work on my mac--version MAC OS X 10.6.3, which fits the requirements to have the iChat Effects working.
What is going on? How do I get the More iChat Effects 2.0.4 to work on my BRAND NEW 13 inch, 2.6 macbook to work?
Does my macbook not meet the requirements? Please let me know.
Thank you

Hi,
It is MoreiChatEffects (Which can be used in Photo Booth) that is not quite up to it.
Some of the Quartz files used to create the effect are not ready for 64 bit.
Go to the Applications folder and Highlight the app.
Do a Get Info (CMD and I together)
At the bottom of the top section of the panel set the app to open in 32 Bit mode and Restart.
Check their Website for more details.

Photo Booth Help Needed!

Please Help!!
I can't open Photo Booth anymore. I don't know why or how to fix the problem. When I try to open Photo Booth I get an error message:
"Photo Booth cannot open because no camera is attached or the camera is in use by another application. Make sure your digital video camera is properly attached and turned on. If you are using the camera with another application, close that application before tryint to open Photo Booth again."
I am 100% sure I am not using any other application. I tried to restart the computer and open Photo Booth before anything else and I still got that error message. I don't know what to do!
I have a MacBook so the camera is built in.
Any help would be really appreciated!

Hi, bbYdLL. Your problem has nothing at all to do with iPhoto, least of all with iPhoto 4 and earlier. Try reposting your question in the Using Tiger discussion forum. Good luck!

Photo Booth Help! My photo booth screen is very very dark. I thought it was the screen but its at the brightest it can possibly be! So I grabbed my mothers MacBook Pro and It's much lighter and more clear. I have just the regular macbook. Please Help.

My photo booth screen is very very dark. I thought it was the screen but its at the brightest it can possibly be! So I grabbed my mothers MacBook Pro and It's much lighter and more clear. I have just the regular macbook. I also used the my camera on tumblr and it came up like my mothers. So could it just be photo booth? I also have no idea how to find out which operating system is downloaded. This is preowned.

Use the trackpad to scroll, thats what it was designed for. The scroll bars automatically disappear when not being used and will appear if you scroll up or down using the trackpad.
This is a user-to-user forum and most people will post on here if they have problems. You very rarely get people posting to say there update went smooth. The fact is the vast majority of Mountain Lion users will not be experiencing any major problems with the OS, or maybe with apps which are not compatible, but thats hardly Apple's fault if developers don't update their apps.

Im going mad with duplicate photos! help!

i was always aware i had duplicate photos... today i deleted my photo library and rebuilt it with backups i had from iphoto itself! but then i go to spotlight.. write a name of a photo and i see two of each photo.. i click reveal in finder.. and one is in the date folder ex "19" and one is in the original folder!!! "Originals"! What does this mean??
I love apple, everything apple.. but the way iphoto saves the photos in the library i just hate it!! GRRRR!
Help plz... should i delete some? Only God knows how many duplicates i must have

Clive
iPhoto uses Version Control - the ability to revert to the Original file. SO if you modify your pic the modification is made to a copy and your original is left untouched. This way you can use the 'Revert To Original' command.
If you don't want this facility, then, frankly, don't use iPhoto. It's hardwired into the application and can't be turned off.

Can I use hologram or invisible cloak with other backgrounds in photo booth?

I want to use Hologram or Invisiblity cloak with other backdrops. Is there a way i can do that in Mavericks?

If I understand what you want to do.
From Photo Booth Help.
Create a custom backdrop
Photo Booth comes with several backdrops, but you can use your own photos and videos to create additional backdrops.
You can use a prerecorded video as a custom backdrop. If you use a digital video camera to record a video backdrop, set the camera to use fixed focus, exposure, and white balance.
Open Photo Booth
If you’re using Photo Booth in full screen, move the pointer to the top of the screen, then click the Exit Full Screen button .
If you’re viewing a photo or a video, click the View Video Preview button .
Click the Effects button.
Browse through the backdrops until you reach User Backdrops.
Drag a photo or video to one of the User Backdrop frames. You can drag a picture or video from your desktop, the Finder, iMovie, iPhoto, or Safari.
You can use this custom backdrop whenever you take a photo or record a video.

Applying Photo Booth effects to photos taken in another application?

Is it possible to apply the Photo Booth effects to photos that were taken outside of the Photo Booth application? For example, I have some shots in my iPhoto library that I'd love to apply one of the Photo Booth effects to. I can't see an option for doing this in the Photo Booth menus or help section.

I do not have a new iMac G5 (iSight), so I do not have Photo Booth either. However, looking at Apple's new iMac pages and the Photo Booth 1.0 Help info leads me to believe that Photo Booth is an application for making snapshots rather than for editing existing images.
Check Photo Booth > Help on your iMac. If it does not tell you about editing existing images, you likely cannot do so.
Depending upon your experience level, image editor apps like PhotoShop or PhotoShop Elements can add the effects to your existing photos. Adding effects to existing images will require some effort, but it can be done. Unless your version of iPhoto is one of the very early ones, you can even set your iPhoto > General preferences to open your existing iPhoto images in your image editor app for easy access and editing from within iPhoto.
Because Photo Booth is only available with the iMac G5 (iSight) computer, you may find more help from Photo Booth users in iMac Discussions.

External iSight, Photo Booth

My external iSight works just fine with iChat. But in Photo Booth, it shows only a black screen.
Photo Booth help says it will work with an external camera.
I am trying to use it on my G4 with Tiger. Is that the problem?

In that case go to you Home Folder > Library > Preferences and delete the com.apple.PhotoBooth.plist and try Photo Booth again
If that deoes not work use this FAQ http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1486891&tstart=0
It is about Reinstalling iChat but Use the Hard Way and the PAcifist option to Install Photo Booth from the Install DIsk.
Also note the last paragraph and install the Combo Installer for the OS level you are at to Update Photo Booth.

Photo Booth and Account Picture no go?

Believe it or not I just discovered Photo Booth on my new iMac. Just a question about how it works. After taking the picture and clicking on the image you have several options, send the image to an email, send the image to your iChat account, and send the picture to your Account preferences as your login picture. The first two options work as advertised, the last doesn't seem to work. I take the picture, click the image, and then click the Accounts option tab. According to the Photo Booth Help documents this should cause the Accounts preferences panel to open and make the photo your login image. When I click the Accounts tab nothing happens. If I actually open the Accounts preferences panel, click on the login image and select Edit... I can take the picture there and it works fine.
Anyone else seeing this behavior? Has something changed with version 2.0 of Photo Booth?

Well, how about this then? Can anyone confirm that they are able to add a picture to their Login account using the current version of Photo Booth (v2.0.2)?

Ichat/Photo Booth... Please Help!

I am having trouble with the backdrops that are now available for Photo Booth and ichat. When i add one of the new backdrops, they are all broken up. Part of my face gets covered by the animation, and bits and pieces of the wall behind me shows.
I step out of the frame like it says. The background behind me is simple and stationary. I can't figure out why this is happening!
Can anyone help? Please?

Try to create a good "set" and the result will be a lot better.
If you have "backlight" your image will be hard to capture after you step in. Blocking this light source results in a dark image and large pixel blocks. The background should be lit indirect. Before you apply the effect have a look at the video feed on your display, make sure there's no light source in the background. The spot where you are going to step in after you've captured the background must be well lit from a source outside the frame like behind or next to the camera. No moving objects or images in the background and no camera movement during the take. The light level should constant and fixed so the focus is on you're movement.
Close all applications that you do not need to run during the take and try to reduce network traffic on your network when using life video chat.
You'll be surprised.

Photo booth only records partial Video no matter how long it is...Help!!

ok so i wanted to make a funny video to send to my friend. I turned on Photo booth, chose the video option, and hit record. I proceeded to completely embarrass myself on camera for about 5 mins, and i clicked stop. When it stopped, only like the 1st 18 secs were recorded. I thought maybe i clicked stop on accident, so i tried it again, and it was the same problem.. is anyone else having this problem? if so is there a solution for it? please help...thanks

Welcome to Apple Discussions, C Dot MooDy
is anyone else having this problem?
I have not seen any specific post of exactly your problem, but a few users have posted questions about how long Photo Booth can record, so they might be asking about a similar issue.
For instance, a search of iSight discussions about known Photo Booth recording time limit:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1450644&tstart=50
if so is there a solution for it?
For a solution, consider the same suggestions I offered in the topic linked above:
(1) Be sure you are keeping Photo Booth (PB) as the foreground app; i.e., you can always see "Photo Booth" by the  in the upper left corner of your display. Don't click on the desktop or any other open window while recording. Recording stops on my Mac if PB is not the active app.
(2) Other things that might be contributing to your problem:
• Don't let your Mac go to sleep or allow its screen saver to work while you are recording.
• Check and, if necessary, modify settings of background apps that might be interrupting your Mac during your PB movie recording. Examples would include Mail checking for new email, iCal executing an alarm, your Software Update... performing its scheduled check for software updates.
I do not know that one of those might be your problem, but if you can find no other cause, and if you must record long clips with PB, consider any of those ideas you think they might have an impact.
(3) Also consider these suggestions If your Macbook runs slowly or exhibits any other problems in addition to your PB issue.
(4) If all else fails, you might try iMovie to see if it works better for recording longer movie clips on your Macbook. While not a one-click app like PB, iMovie HD can add Video FX (Effects) after you have recorded your clip. If you cannot get PB working, iMovie might be worth considering as an alternative.
(5) If you would rather not use iMovie, perhaps a PB clone application like WebcamTweaker or Freak Show will work for what you want.
Please let us know how it goes.

HELP! Closed Photo Booth window while it was recording...

So I was recording video with Photo Booth and I accidently closed the window while it was still recording. But when I open up Photo Booth again the video clip is not in there anymore. I was able to find the file that was generated which was in Home>Pictures>Photo Booth. When I try to open up the file that I found it says Quicktime can't open it. Can anybody help me with this because I really want that clip to work.

You are going to have to re-do the video. Closing a PB window is the same as quiting PB unfortunately.

I can't drag and drop user backdrops into Photo Booth. Help!

Hi there...just this past Monday I bought my first Macbook Pro, and I'm having a little trouble with Photo Booth. I know it's supposed to be easy to drag and drop into the User Backdrop 1, etc, but for some reason I've tried different files and they will not add into the boxes.
So far I've tried adding shots from safari, both by dragging and by saving the image to my desktop. I've also tried to add photos from my iPhoto but to no avail.
If someone can give me some help I'd really appreciate it. I've been searching online for the better part of an hour and it doesn't seem like this is a common problem.
Thanks!

Ok so I figured it out!
It was really quite a simple fix, and I feel ashamed that I couldn't come to this conclusion earlier.
Anyway, for anyone else having this issue, it was because I had Photo Booth in full screen mode. As soon as I got out of that, I was able to add pictures to my user backdrops without a problem.
Super simple.
I hope it helps someone out there.

ISight not showing when Photo Booth is open? Help :S?

Hey guys, when I open Photo Booth, my iSight doesn't even respond to it, and doesn't even turn on. There is no green light or anything. It works when I use iChat or any other application that uses the iSight but not photo booth. I have done all the trouble shooting and reseting but still nothing. In the system profiler it shows that my iSight is recognized and that it is there and working, but why not photo booth? It has worked before too.
Help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks a lot in advance
D2LMD

You're welcome, D2LMD
I have tried all of the things you just listed and still no go...
Because your iSight works in every user account you try with every application (except Photo Booth), the problem is definitely in your software. Having reinstalled the application itself, the software problem must lie in some of the system or QuickTime ancillary files that Photo Booth uses.
To remedy this problem, I can offer three choices for your consideration:
(1) Backup your important files and then reinstall all of your Mac software using the "reinstall" or "restore" disk that came with your Mac. After that is done, repair permissions and then use your Mac's Software Update... to be sure you are using the latest version of your Apple software. Finish with another permission repair after the updates are done, and then test to see if Photo Booth is working.
(2) Ignore your non-working Photo Booth. Instead, use some other app to capture images:
• If you do not need Photo Booth's "effects", some alternative apps that can
capture snapshots and movie/video clips are included in this list.
• Apps that have with "effects" similar to those in Photo Booth include
Funny Photographer, Freak Show, and WebcamTweaker.
(3) If nothing else works for you, follow Apple's ultimate suggestion from http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2090 and contact Apple or an Apple-Authorized Service Provider for service.
