Or one of the places that can make use of it as well such as System Preferences > Users and Groups > your account > pic (It will edit and offer the camera).
As this Thread is in Mavericks it will be Messages and not iChat.
Most Browser with the Flash Player plug-in can make use of sites like MeBeam
GoogleTalk can be used in a Browser to other compatible sources with the Google Video Plug-in.

I would go to the Apple Icon Menu and hold the ALT key down whilst doing so and select the System Profilier.
The camera should appear under the USB items.
If it does not try a PRAM reset.
Restart the computer holding down the CMD+ALT+P+R keys until you have heard three Start up bongs then let the Start up continue.

Problems with the Built in Camera - Help!

Dear Comunity,
In my Mac Book, when I turn on the built In camera, I get 4 horizontal red lines in the midle of the screen. i have the standard version of Leopard. Is there something I can do to change this?
Thank you very much for your help

Hello DUARTE
Drivers for OS X apps are built into Mac OS OS. There are no drivers to reload for use with OS X.
Try all relevant suggestions in How to Troubleshoot iSight.
If you are still getting red lines on your display when you turn the camera on with any app in any user account you try, see your AASP for service.

S1 Yoga - How to turn off the built-in display/monitor?

Hi,
Trying to find a way/hotkey to turn off the built-in display whilst I'm connected to another external monitor with the Thinkpad S1 Yoga model. Do you guys know how to do it?
I could even remap any of the default hotkeys if someone knows how to do that as well, as the defaults are not too useful for me...
Thank you!!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Photo booth, problems with the new backround

Has any one else had trouble with the new back rounds in photo booth, in mine, the back round over powers me so I am partially invisible. Is there anything I can do about it?

Hi,
The further away lighting is and the more contrast (single colour different from your clothes) the background is the better this will be.
For instance if your background is dark or your chair is black when you are out of frame and your clothes are close in colour when you return then you will be considered part of the background and "disappear".
My ceiling where I have may computer is only 7 feet high and it has overhead spot lights to light my desk area.
This means the lights are about 4 feet above my head when sitting at the desk and this changes the lighting when I move back into frame causing some "Blooming" around my head. (Shows a blotch around my head of nothing - normally grey)
Hope this helps.

How can you minimize or (turn) off the "side panel" in Web Intelligence in the view mode.

How can you minimize or (turn) off the "side panel" in Web Intelligence in the view mode.
It is possible to turn on/off options within the Side Panel by Customization of Groups.
But it seems You cannot influence the way Web Intelligence present (minimized or Off) the Side Panel in the IE??
Is there a solution for this??
If not, it would be a nice property of a Web Intelligence document in a future release.

Hi Nico,
we patched up to BI 4.1 SP 3 Patch 2

How to Disable Photo Booth?

Is there a way to "disable" Photo Booth (without removing the program)?
It may be interfering with 3rd party video conferencing, and it was suggested to disable the program.

Next time, you can use the Text Wrap function, so you don't need to manually wrap the text.

Why is photo booth giving a message saying no camera attached when it has a web cam? it did work okay when I bought the computer six months ago?

Why is "photo booth" giving a message saying "no camera attached" when it has a web cam? it did work okay when I bought the computer six months ago?

I have already copied my photographs to the a library manager but when I tried to reuse iphoto and import the photos back into iphoto, it would not let me.
You can't "copy" your photos to the "library manager", there is just no way to any such thing.
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

How do I use the built-in camera or webcam?

I know this may sound very elementary but there was no documentation with my Mac when I bought it new (except a thin flimsy pamphlet with very baic stuff in it) and the help menu comes up with nothing at all when I search for web cam, webcam or isight.
Where do I go to learn about how to use the built-in camera/web cam as a camera and also as a web cam?
Thank you

There should have been a seventy page booklet in the box with your new iMac. If yours is the latest version, clicking here will download it if you cannot find the physical copy. If yours is an older iMac model, you can search for the correct manual from the iNtel iMac Support Page > "Manuals" link.
After that, Mac 101 is a great web-based information source. If you don't need general help, take a look here for specifics about each application of interest.
VortexBoy wrote: ... and the help menu comes up with nothing at all when I search for web cam, webcam or isight....
If your posted info is correct that you are running Mac OS X (10.7.3), you should be able to get started by using your Mac's Finder > Help menu command. Searching for "camera" (without quotation marks) on my 10.7.3 Mac returns Mac's Help article entitled "Use your Mac’s built-in camera." This is the web version of the same help.
Other apps, like QuickTime Player (the Lion QT 10.x version), and iMovie (part of iLife that came with your Mac) can also use your iMac's camera.
iMovie Help or this web page version of the same help will explain how to "Record video directly into iMovie".
Use QTX Player's File > New Movie Recording menu command to record video with it. You can configure size and quality of the recorded material by using QTX's preferences as shown in this image:

Different apps do not all work the same. For function-specific help, search Help in separate camera applications; i.e., after you launch Photo Booth, iChat, QTX, iChat, etc., use the individual app's Help menu command to search for more info on the camera or what you want to do.
This article offers great basic tips about how to position, light, and use built-in cameras. Although its subject shows it was written for iMacs, it is equally applicable to other reader's inbuilt Apple cameras, too.
For more specialized functions than those offered by the camera software already included with your Mac, you can search the Mac App Store for other apps that can use your camera.
For webcam help with iChat, use Apple's iChat Support page if you need more help that that provided in the dialog boxes and iChat > Help on your Mac.
To use your camera with FaceTime, search your Mac's FaceTime > Help or these web versions of the same Help topics that should be available on your Mac.
Skype or other third party webcam apps will offer their own Help menus of varying quality. In additon to these app Help services, some apps offer comprehensive Support services via their web page. If you decide to add Skype to your Mac, you can click here to review the excellent Skype Support pages.
If you need to start a new topic for specific questions after you get started, give as much detail about what you want to do and what you may have already tried unsuccessfully. We will offer specific suggestions based on the details you provide.
Enjoy your new Mac!
