How do I take a picture using my MacBook computer

You should have an program called Photo Booth in your Applications folder. Launch it, turn the MacBook towards what you want to take a picture of (using the screen as a viewfinder) and click on the camera button (or press command - T on your keyboard)  to take the picture.
Best of luck.

    What kind of picture? Screen Shot? Command-Shift 3
    Using the Camera? Check out Photo Booth. It's in your applications folder.

  • How do i take a picture with my built in webcam?

    hey guys
    i have a macbook pro with a built in web cam...im sure theres a way to take a pic with it...does anyone know how?
    it would also be nice if i wouldn't have to download another program to do this...
    is there anyway i can take a picture and have it has somehting like a .jpeg?
    thanks!

    Also start up iChat (this shows in the DOCK)
    It should let you click through the Start Up screens if you don't have a Screen name yet.
    Click on the Buddy Pic it currently shows for you.
    Select Edit pic.
    Press the Take Video Snapshot
    When you then select SET it will save this in
    Users/(your Account)/Library/Images/Recent iChat Pics
    Or you can go to the Video menu of iChat and Select TAke Snapshot and this will be saved to the DESKTOP but may need further work in a Graphics app to get just your head if that is what you are aiming at.

  • How to take a picture with my mac bok pro???

    Years ago I took pictures and selfies with my MacBook Pro. After spending a lot of time only using my phone to take pics I'm only trying now to take one simple pic of my dog on the other side of my computer screen tonight. Now I can't seem to find out how to do this. The i-Photo at the bottom of the screen only shows me old photos and asks for locations. No. I try to look for help on my Mac to no avail. THE REST OF MY MICROSOFT FRIENDLY FAMILY ARE AMUSED. The 'support' is horrible, I find out through YAHOO - not Apple or my computer - that I need to go through Photo Booth. I remember seeing that years ago. Why is there no photo booth icon at the bottom of my screen??? When did it change to i-Photo, and why aren't the two integrated?? Why do I have to find answers through yahoo? I managed to get photo booth up for a while on my mac book, but seriously, I can't be doing this all the time, now it's gone again and still I have no pic of my dog hating the back of my screen. And I can't find it again! The question is still: How do I take a photo with my mac book? Please DO NOT refer me to a link. NOT LOOKING FOR AN AUTOMATED ANSWER. Also, some additional feedback, Siri is really inferior compared to OK Google in providing directions, answering general questions (understanding voice questions and providing answers) and making voice command calls. I will not be buying an Apple watch for now. I need to see a lot of other improvements, even only how to ask questions about existing products and features and get snappy answers, before I invest in a new Apple product. Disappointed, I always rooted for Apple.

    Feel all better now?
    1. The Photo Booth.app is located in the Applications directory of Macintosh HD on Mac OS X systems. But some Microsoft Friendly Family conspirator might have changed the name of the internal storage device, removed the Photo Booth.app icon from the Dock, or possibly deleted the app.
    2. Photo Booth.app never DID change to iPhoto.app, or Photos.app. It always was and still is Photo Booth.app.
    3. iPhoto and Photos (introduced in Yosemite 10.10.3) are separate programs primarily designed for organizing and editing digital photos, and cannot take selfies.
    Once you 'snap' an image with Photo Booth, the images are displayed in the 'film roll' that appears at the bottom of the Photo Booth application after you snap the first image. Clicking on an image in that film roll will select it. Control+clicking offers the option to export or delete the image. Once an image is selected with a single click, click the "upload" icon beneath the film roll to see the options available.
    (Yosemite 10.10.2 version illustrated below. Screen transparency means that the background image colors bleed through the menus illustrated below.)
    4. There is a fast way to find and start the application called Photo Booth.app.
    Click on the Spotlight icon in the upper right corner of your computer screen to search your computer for Photo Booth.app. Yes, there is a space between the words Photo and Booth. Press the enter/return key to open the application which will also enable the user-facing camera and illuminate a green LED.
    Click the red button to initiate a 3-step countdown and a simulated flash of the screen to provide more light.
    5. Once Photo Booth.app is open and running, 'right click' (if the Secondary click feature of your mouse or trackpad has been enabled in , System Preferences) on the Photo Booth program icon in the bottom 'Dock' of your screen, and select Options, Keep In Dock. That will keep the Photo Booth icon in the bottom program dock for fast future use.

  • When I take a picture with my iPod touch 5G they do not come out as 4 inch pictures, how do I make it so the camera takes fitted pictures?

    When I take a picture with my back camera the pictures have black bars on the top and bottom. They do not come out 4 inches. How do I fix this?

    Because the screen aspect ratio is different that the camera aspect ratio. The only way it could fill the screen vertically would be either to stretch/distort  the photos vertically or to cut off some of the photos on the sides.

    Hi there dworthen,
    It sounds like you are experiencing issues when trying to rotate your display. I would recommend taking a look at the troubleshooting steps found in the article below.

    when i take a picture with flash in a dark place , the photo appears with a blue line . how can i default this ? is this normal ???

    You probably have a filter set for the normal camera mode but not the square.
    To fix, in Photo mode, touch the filter icon (three circles) and select None for the filter.

    Thanks -

    The collum to the right listed similar problems.  The solution appears to be that under smtp outgoing settings the user name and password are listed as optional.  I have not plugged in the information and it seems to be working.  However from my office it always allowed the relaying.  The true test will be when I try to respond later from the road.
    Thank you for your help.

    How do I take a picture of the screen?

    You can also use spotlight (Cmd + Space) to search for and start an app called Grab (or look in the Applications folder...). With this program you can capture a selection of the screen, a window, the whole screen and more. See menuoption Capture for these options.

  • How do i take one layer with multiple selections...

    how do i take one layer with multiple selections and make those selections their own layer?

    Yes sir. It w was really hard to explain. It is discontiguous segments that are separated by transparent areas. And I want those non transparent areas to be on their own layer. I have a photo shop file that has a bunch of buttons on them and they are on a transparent background. It is one layer. I want to select all the buttons and put them on their own layers. I can do this manually by selecting a button and cmd Just to a new layer, but when I have 200 buttons it is a daunting task.

    I'm assuming you have Photo Stream set up of both devices.  However, it seems many users are experiencing the same as you - my take is that streaming photos is not foolproof yet.

  • HT4993 When i take a picture with my iphone 4s, with flash on the phone dies.  Has anyone else experienced this?  Does apple support this?

    When I take a picture with iphone 4s the phone dies.  I hold power button to power up.  Thanks for any Help.

    Apple Warranty should cover this hardware problem. You could try a Restore of the iPhone Firmware with iTunes on computer to confirm it is not software problem. Then make Genius reservation and take to Apple for resolution.
