How to make pictures by the built-in camera of MacBook  Pro?

I don't succeed in making pictures with the built-in camera of  MacBook Pro.
Neither the program i-Photo can be downloaded.
Both items worked perfect when I bought the laptop  a couple of years ago.
What went wrong?

You can take pictures with "PhotoBooth".
You can use all kind of picture effects as well.

    Whenever you remove system modifications, they must be removed completely, and the only way to do that is to use the uninstallation tool, if any, provided by the third-party developers, or to follow their instructions. If the software has been incompletely removed, you may have to re-download or even reinstall it in order to finish the job.
    Here are some general guidelines. Suppose you want to remove something called “BrickYourMac.” First, consult the product's Help menu, if there is one, for instructions. Finding none there, look on the developer's website, say www.brickyourmac.com. (That may not be the actual name of the site; if necessary, search the Web for the product name.) If you don’t find anything on the website or in your search, email the developer. While you're waiting for a response, download BrickYourMac.dmg and open it. There may be an application in there such as “Uninstall BrickYourMac.” If not, open “BrickYourMac.pkg” and look for an Uninstall button.
    If you can’t remove software in any other way, you’ll have to erase your boot volume and perform a clean reinstallation of OS X. Never install any third-party software unless you're sure you know how to uninstall it; otherwise you may create problems that are very hard to solve.
    Trying to remove complex system modifications by hunting for files by name often will not work and may make the problem worse. The same goes for "utilities" that purport to remove software.

  • The quality of built-in camera on macbook pro with retina display is far worse than any other mac. Why?

    I just got the new macbook pro with retina display like a week ago and I've been noticing that the quality of the built-in camera on it is so bad.
    It's even worse than my 2009 iMac or my sister's 2012 13" macbook pro. I don't get why this is a facetime HD built-in camera when i can obviously see that is not even near HD. Or is it just my computer. Do i have to bring it to the apple store??

    it's advertised 720p so yes it is the same as all the other MBP.  it may just be the resolution of your monitor is stretching the pixels.  Don't worry about bringing it to the apple store. 

  • How can I set up the canon printer mf4380dn for macbook pro MD318

    I can not set up the canon printer mf4380dn for macbook pro MD318 even thought I set up the printing driver already. The printer usually work good for printing via windows laptop.
    I tried some way but error appear "unable to verify the printer on your network". I printing IP is available

    Upgrade your RAM to at least 4GB's.  Your machine can support 6GB's, but upgrade to 4GB's first. Regardless of what Apple says, you need at least 4GB's to run Lion properly.

  • Lost built-in camera on Macbook Pro after Mavericks update.

    I'm about a year into owning a Mac so still learning a lot about navigating the system. I recently (Feb 28, 2014) "upgraded" from Mountain Lion to Mavericks and have now lost acessibility to the built-in camera. It shows up on facetime and photobooth, but not in image capture. In Skype it works briefly before turning off and requires a computer restart to turn on but then only works briefly before turning off again. I am unable to find it in system preferences anymore so can't check settings. Is there a way to restore previous settings?
    MacBook Pro, 15in, Mid 2012
    Current operating system: OS X 10.9.2
    2.3 GHz Intel Core i7

    The built-in camera shouldn't work in Image Capture which is for use with a photographic camera or a scanner. As for Skype you might check if you have the most recent version. If you do, then I would contact the developers about the problem. It's clear that the camera is working with Photo Booth and FaceTime. That suggests there is no problem with Mavericks.

  • TS3899 How can I see again the emails sent from my MacBook Pro on my iPhone 4?

    Hi. I have a iPhone 4 connected to a Yahoo email account. I used to be able to see the emails sent from the device on the sent mailbox and the emails sent from the MacBook Pro on an automatically created folder called "Sent Messages" that disappeared. I tried deleting the account and creating it again, both on the computer and on the iPhone, but the problem persists. Any idea on how I can solve this problem?

    On your Mac
    in your Mail App, open the folders on the left hand side, by clicking SHOW on top.
    GO down, where your email acount is and unfold.
    Select the SENT folder. If you cant find it, it means it's already used as your SENT folder. Skip next step.
    In Mail App Menu select MAILBOX -> USE THIS MAILBOX FOR -> SENT
    Maybe that does the trick?

  • How do I boot up the iBook G4 from my MacBook Pro?

    Hello, and thank you in advance for your help. I have an old iBook G4 with a display that doesn't work, and I have been googling all day for an answer to this - I want to either remote desktop or use my MacBook Pro as an external display.
    I +don't think+ that I want to use target disk mode (which does work), but you may persuade me otherwise, if I'm able to use the iBook in some way like that. I have tried this, but I can't open up system preferences as it's an older version of the software...
    Background:
    1. I have VGA connectors for both machines, and also a connector cable.
    2. I have Firewire to Firewire cable
    3. I have Ethernet cables
    4. The MacBook Pro is connected to the internet, but I'm finding it impossible to connect the iBook, because I can't see the screen.
    5. I'm pretty sure that the iBook G4's logic board is the reason the display doesn't show, but when I opened it up, there was already a shim over the suspect chip? Looked like someone had already tried a repair on it, even though I bought it new. Bizarre. I've also tried a very simple solder reflow method with a soldering iron, but neither of these worked. Luckily, the iBook still boots, but doesn't display still.
    6. So my last resort is to try to use it with an external display - but I want to test this first, before I buy one, and the only thing I have is my MBP....
    7. MBP software is at 10.6.2, iBook G4 is 10.1 I think, but it's been two years.
    Thanks again for your help...
    Si

    There are a few notes about the video problem some iBook G4s experienced
    and some user tales of homebrewed fixes, in the results from a Google search
    of these terms: *ibook G4 video problem shim.* (GPU: graphic processor unit.)
    Another idea is to look into the *Cory Arnold Effect*. One of his posts in Discussions
    (2006) appears here: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=3249364
    +If you or someone else has already tried to re-flow solder on the suspected weak+
    +areas of a logic board, & there are continued issues, then the board may be shot.+
    While some location searches may find different results, and that may be a
    problem when checking content via a search engine. Looking worldwide,
    yet maybe too closely at your Aussie content first; it may miss some of them.
    There are several references and I have read of them, over the past four years.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • How do you know if the built-in camera is running?

    My iMac (late 2013 model) has a little green light just above the screen, right beside the camera, and I am wondering if that means the camera is running.

    If the green light is on, that means the camera is running. The camera cannot turn on with out the green light because it is wired to the same power source, unless of course, if the bulb dies. Now if it is staying on all the time, thats a problem. First make sure that Photo booth is not running. If Photo Booth or any other app you have that need the camera (Flutter, ECT, check you menu bar at the Top) then check the activity monitor to see if anyone is spying on you. Go to Applications>Utilities>Activity monitor. Click on the CPU tab and scroll through the list and if you find any thing on that list that looks suspicious, right click it and end it.(note if it is a root task, you can't end it)
    Hope this helps

  • How to use the built in camera in macbook on windows via boot camp?

    Did you download the Windows Software when you ran Bootcamp Assistant? Did you install the downloaded Windows Support Software when you first started Windows?

  • How can I successfully reapply the thermal paste in my MacBook Pro? (2008)

    I'm having issues with keeping my computer cool, mainly while playing games like SC2 that require a good amount of power. I've downloaded fan control apps, bought cooling pads (usb powered) and still no luck in cooling this thing down. I recently learned that Apple for some reason applies the thermal paste too thick, which can cause the computers to be a lot hotter than they should be.
    I'm not worried about voiding warranty, seeing as I don't even have a warranty. I've already opened it up to upgrade the ram and the hard drive so I know my way around inside there and have the stuff I need in order to do it properly.
    What I need to know is where I can get the thermal paste, what kind I need, how it needs to be applied and with what (as well as how to get the old paste off), the steps I need to take in order to get to where this paste is even at inside the computer...etc.
    If there's anyone who's already successfully pulled this off, lemme know how you did it and if it helped any. I've read there've been significant temp drops since reapplying it in a lot of these pros, so I'm just interested.

    Hi
    I’ve yet to remove the heatsinks of the CPU and GPU on my MBP. But I’ve replaced CPU and GPU heatsinks on my PC many times, so hopefully you’ll find my suggestions helpful.
    1st use the laptop for a bit to get both the CPU and GPU warmed up so it will be easier to remove the heatsinks.
    Remove the back cover and run your hands over the back side of the metal cover few time to get ride of any static charge that might be there (or any unprinted metal surface will do).
    Remove the screws and heatsink one at a time. You might find the thermal past dried up (happens when company used cheap past and after computer is used for few years). Use tissues to wipe the past off both cores and heasinks.
    You can also buy thermal past remover and clearer such as this:
    http://www.amazon.co.uk/Arctic-Silver-ArctiClean-Material-Purifier/dp/B000BKP306 /ref=pdbxgy_computers_textb
    I normally use Arctic Silver Thermal Paste, I found it's the best past around, and everybody I know are happy with it.
    There are two ways to apply the past. If your CPU is a Core2Duo, than you can just put a little bit on the center and press down with the heatsink. This is because the 2 cores on the CPU are located near the center of the processor so it does not matter if the edges are not covered with past.
    Or if you want to play safe, you can cover the enter CPU with an even thin lay of past using a flat plastic card.
    When it comes to thermal past, less is more, you only want little bit to cover up the metal cover on the processor. I say no more than 0.5 mm thick.
    Cover the entire GPU with past as well, I’m not sure if the RAMs on your graphic card are cooled by the heatsinks. If they are, you might need some thermal pads for them.
    You’ll find the whole process quite easy as long as you take your time. You can found lots of info on this with Google and Youtube.
    Good luck and don’t forget to give the heatsinks a clean with a can of compassed air before you put them back on.

    I have a analog to DV converter that I have had for years, but I have not used it for awhile, and I am using a newer MAC. How do I get it to import from my converter. When I go to import in iMovie it is only showing the built in camera. Help...

    Does the iOS device connect to other networks? If yes that tend to indicate a problem with your network.
    Does the iOS device see the network?
    Any error messages?
    Do other devices now connect?
    Did the iOS device connect before?
    Try the following to rule out a software problem:                
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Power off and then back on your router
    .- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings

    - Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network      
    - iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
    - Restore from backup. See:
    iOS: How to back up
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem and it does not connect to any networks make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • How to make picture in picture video semi transparent?

    I do know how to make picture in picture semi transparent if I import a photo instead of a video. However, if I import an video and want that video to be semi transparent at the right top cornor, I can do so with imovie? I know I can make the second video semi transparent if I use cutaway instead of picture in picture. However, I do not want the second video fill the whole screen, just the right cornor of the whole video.
    Please reply if you know how to do it in imovie. Thank you

    your wording confuses me ... what exactly do you want to accomplish:
    a cut-away replaces video, but keeps audio - that has nothing to do with 'transparency' (??)
    for sure, you can place and resize a PiP anywhere on the screen (pic#1)
    or, do you mean by 'semi-transparent' keying a PiP? (pic#2) A color-key within a PiP is not optional in iMovie; although, I tested it: if your source video contains 'alpha transparency', iMovie support that either.
    https://sites.google.com/site/karstenschluter/im09-counter
    or, do you want to manually change the compositing mode (pic#3)? That, indeed is not optional in iMovie.
    or, did you mean by 'just a part' cropping a PiP/second layer (pic#4)? Again, not optional in iMovie, complex compositing effects are habitat of professional tools such as FCPX.
