How to connect Photo Booth to Skype/tinychat etc?

Just got the new MacBook Air and was wondering if there is a way to have programs such as skype and tinychat recognize photobooth as the camera source so i can make the video have effects such as black and white, sepia, etc?
I installed ManyCam and even that didn't recognize anything, the preview stayed a black screen and said there was no camera source.
Hope this makes sense and would really appreciate some help!!

Hi Chris,
Hmm I can start to see what you are saying...
The way I have my iphone to PC photo transfer, is through the lightning cable plugin that triggers the Windows Autoplay "Import Pictures and Videos" auto transfer into my selected folder.
So how do I setup "My Photo Stream is for automatically getting photos from your iPhone to your PC without connecting the iPhone to your computer." ?
Does this auto-sync, or do you still need to click sync ?
Do I need to stop using the Windows Autoplay ?

  • How to use photo booth with skype???

    I can't seem to figure out how to use the photo booth effects with Skype. I would just use iChat but my husband is on a PC and I am on TDY for the military with my MacBook.

    Hi,
    There is a folder called Compositions in the system side of things that booth Apple apps of Photo Booth and iChat can access for the Video Effects (And Backdrops on Intel computers in iChat)
    Third Party apps such as Skype do not access this folder and therefore do not have Effects.
    (there  may be a Skype add-on that has them but I don't use it so I don't know).
    It seems CamTwist does work for Skype.
    iChat should Video to AIM on a PC (free)  (Or Trillian Pro for a small amount).
    Results can vary with AIM  (Post in iChat if you want to know more) but you would then have access to the same effects Photo Booth has.

    If you have tried every relevant suggestion from How to Troubleshoot iSight but your camera is still not recognized anywhere in your System Profiler's USB Device Tree, you likely have a hardware problem.
    Properly applying the Combo version of the latest update for your Mac OS can sometimes correct software problems, but, if your trouble is caused by a hardware problem, there are no user serviceable parts of the camera.  For hardware help, contact Apple or an Apple-Authorized Service Provider for service on your MacBook Air.

    You will have to install it from the installer DVD as follows:
    How to Use Pacifist to Replace Deleted or Missing OS X Components
    Insert the OS X Installer DVD into the optical drive. Use a simple utility like TinkerTool to toggle invisibility so you can see invisible items. Alternatively, open the Terminal application in your Utilities folder and at the prompt enter the following:
    defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles Yes
    Press RETURN.
    To turn off the display of invisible files repeat the above command substituting No for Yes.
    The install packages are located in the /System/Installation/ folder on the DVD.
    Download the shareware utility Pacifist from VersionTracker or MacUpdate. Use it to extract a fresh copy of the missing item(s) from the file archives on your OS X installation DVD. The file archives are in the /System/Installations/ folder (use Go to Folder option in the Go menu of the Finder.)
    Here are Four Basic ways to use Pacifist (courtesy of George Orville.)
    A. Drag a .pkg icon onto the Pacifist window .....proceed to step 7.
    B. Click on “Open Package ....” and navigate to package desired and click “Open” in the open/save window.....proceed to step 7.
    C. Insert Mac OS X installer CD and when it mounts, navigate to .... Menu->Go->Go to Folder.
    In the path field enter or paste ....
    /Volumes/disc name/System/Installation/Packages (where disc name is the name of the CD/DVD that you inserted.
    • Click on the "Go" button .....
    • Drag a .pkg to Pacifist..... proceed to step 7.
    The package you'll need will have to be discovered by trial and error, but for most applications you should start with the Essentials.pkg and/or Additional Essentials.pkg.
    D. Insert your Mac OS X install disk 1 .... and open Pacifist.
    1. In Pacifist, select "Open Mac OS X Install Packages" ... dialog may appear asking for disk 2, then disk 3 and finally disk 1 again.... {if DVD is not used)...If “Stop Loading” is selected...the procedure will stop!!!
    2a. When loading is complete, a new window appears, click the triangle to display contents of each package...Select item and proceed to step 7.
    2b. or click the “Find” icon in the Pacifist window and type the name of the software you need.
    3. In the list that comes back, click the top most entry for the item that you want. ..... that is the one for the English language.
    4. On the top of the Pacifist window, click “verify” .... you will probably be prompted for your password.
    5. Enter checks for.... “verify permissions” and “verify file contents.” and click “verify” ....enter password when prompted.... you will get back output which may look like this:
    20 files were scanned.
    20 of 20 files were present on the hard disk.
    0 of 20 files had file permissions that did not match those specified in the package.
    0 of 20 files had checksums that did not match those specified in the package.
    6. Click “close”. Go to step 7.
    Extract or Install........
    7. In the Toolbar (upper left), you now have the option to extract or install. Click a file in the lower list and those two icons will be enabled.
    8. If “Extract to...” is selected.... navigate to the location where the file will be placed, select “choose”, select “extract” in new dialog that appears,authenicate , if prompted, click “OK”.
    9. In the next dialog, click “Extract”.
    10. If “Install” is selected... dialog will appear with the location/path of the installed software. Click “Install”
    11. Type in your password, click “OK”
    • Pacifist will begin to extract files.
    12. In steps 8/10ß.... you also have the choice to “cancel”
    Notes.....
    • Pacifist may find that a file it is installing already exists on the hard disk. Pacifist will present you with an alert panel....
    Stop
    Leave original alone
    Update ..... Default selection
    Replace .... Replace option should only be used on full install packages

  • How to recover photo booth

    my photo booth is erased! how can i recover?

    PhotoBooth is one of those applications that get installed only with OS X, there is no separate bundled installer, so you won't find it on the second grey disks that come with your computer or the bundled programs installer on the first grey disk.
    Getting PhotoBooth back onto your computer is complicated because it requires OS X to be reinstatlled, which is no problem if you didn't upgrade to later versions of OS X than what came with the machine.
    So until I know more information....
    1: What OS X version came with your computer? Look at the original disks if you have them or under the Apple menu > About This Mac.
    2: What OS X version are you using now? Did you upgrade and still have the disk?
    3: Do you have a external drive that you can store a copy of your files on?
    4: Are your disks in working order and ready to go?
    5: Are you afraid of erasing your computers hard drive?

  • How to reinstall  Photo booth?

    How do I reinstall Photo Booth?

    I know this is an old thread and you didn't state why you wanted/needed to reinstall Photo Booth, but I have the same question because the Photo Booth on my iMac now says "Photo Booth couldn't save your photos" when I launch it. The message continues "Photo Booth encounterred an error when trying to save your photos. Your photos cannot be saved at this time." The option at this point is to click "OK." But when I do that I get the same message.
    I used Pacifist to replace the app from the OS installler I have on a USB flash drive and it seemed like everything went fine. There were no messages to think otherwise. After Pacifist replaced it I tried to launch it but got the same message I did before.
    With Pacifist you have the choice of either updating the app, or replacing the the app, and I chose "Replace." I wonder if the outcome would be different if I had chosen "Update," but having already replaced it I don't think updating will serve any purpose. I'll try that but in the meantime if anybody has any suggestions I will surely appreciate them. Thanks for any help you may give me.

  • How to increase photo booth resolution?

    photo booth is taking pics at 640x480 only. i think the macbook isight is 2 MP. that means the resolution should be more. any help?

    Hello Ace
    You can do it using iMovie as an intermediary. See the following link to bring the PhotoBooth into iMovie. I would add when selecting the resolution you would choose the higher 1024 x 768 resolution as you desire.

  • My isight camera image is fuzzy in all apps including photo booth and skype.

    Any ideas on what could be wrong? Or should I just take it to my locate retailer to have it checked out?

    Your local Apple retailer or Apple Authorized Service Provider can certainly help you with your problem.
    If you want to try some things on you own first, consider the following in any order relevant to your Mac:
    (1) First ensure that you don't have some kind of dirt smudge on your cams' lens cover.
    (2) Poor iSight image is usually caused by insufficient light.
    Per http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3097, use good (meaning very bright, single-source) light.
    You can restart Mac and record a Photo Booth image or video clip in full sunlight. View it inside (not in sunlight) to see the best quality your Mac can give.
    (3) If your problem persists, you can consider these suggestions for troubleshooting built-in iSight: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2090
    You have already tested multiple apps, but you should also test in more than one user account.  Create a new one for testing if you only have one account on your Mac. Do NOT use a "Guest" account!
    (4) If you decided to get help, unless you already have a current backup, always make one immediately befoer you relinquish your Mac for service.

  • How to download photo booth for mac

    ?

    Photo Booth is installed as part of the Mac OS and its related software. If it is not in your Dock, double-click your hard drive icon and open the folder "Applications." Photo Booth should appear there. You can click-drag its icon to the Dock if you prefer to have it quickly available.
    Lacking any further information about your Mac and what OS version it it running, that's about all I can offer.
