How to use built-in camera to take self picture to use on Facebook

A friend of mine is willing to set me up on Facebook but he wants a picture of me.
Can I use the built-in camera on my MacPro to take such a pic and send it to him?
How does this work, please?
Thanks so much
Carole

Can I initate the camera to take a picture from inside photoshop?

I used to work with a photographer that had their DSLR connected to their computer and what I thought was Photoshop open (it was awhile ago so I can't for sure remember) and then from in Photoshop he could click a button for the camera to take a picture. Does anyone know how to do this or if this is possible on another Adobe software solutions?
Thank you

You can do tethered shooting with Adobe Lightroom.

After the 2.2 update my camera now takes crappy pictures

after the 2.2 update my camera now takes crappy pictures. Is there a way to fix this? Before my Droid took great pictures not now. Help

I have the original Motorola Droid, and my camera takes crappy pictures at a distance since the update. Images are very distorted. The camera takes a while to open. The phone now stalls when trying to locate and bring up a picture from the photo gallery. I will be getting the new Droid X in a few days, and I hope this phone does not have the same problem.

No green light. iChat and Photobooth crash immediately when launched. Facetime says "no camera connected."

How can I lock my camera so it saves pictures in landscape mode

How can I lock my camera so that it will take and save pictures in landscape mode. I use the iPhone 5, IOS 8.1.1.
I take pictures with the camera held horizontal and the home button to the right. When I save the pictures to my iMAC in iPhoto they need rotation.
I can't find a camera app in the Apple Apps Store.

Photos and camera apps crash when I hit camera roll/take a picture

After updating to ios5, I can no longer access my camera roll, not take a picture. When I hit camera roll, photos crashes. When I take a picture it says saving, then crashes. I have tried turning off the apps and reopening them. I have tried restarting/resetting. I have tried turning it off and letting it sit for 3 days. I tried accessing my camera roll through other apps like facebook, twitter, photoshop but it crashes. I tried to access my camera roll from iphoto and import my pictures but my iphone no longer comes up in iphoto. I feel as though that restoring it may be the only option left, but I do not want to lose my photos and there's still no guarantee that photos and camera will work after restoring. Anyone else ever hear of this before? Help!

There is a similar thread elsewhere...but to save you the search, simply go to this page:

How do you get the iPhone 4 camera to take larger pictures?

GSM Model is the AT&T one? Just want to make sure I'm in the right spot. I have an AT&T iPhone 4.
Well I notice that when I take photos and I laod them on my computer to color correct them or whatever, they are a very small size (11x8 @ 72dpi) Obviously when you up the dpi the image gets smaller, in this case when you change the dpi to 300 the picture becomes a 1x2 image. Not suitable for printing at all.
How can I change the output picture settings on the iPhone 4? On my older 3GS model it takes pictures at 28x21@ 72 dpi, and when you up the dpi to 300 it makes it roughly a 4x6. Very suitable for printing a clean picture. There has to be a way to change the settings on the iPhone 4.

I agree with randy something your doing on your computer is compressing the pictures when I open a photo taken with my iPhone 4 its 1936 X 2592 which is a huge photo it only shows me the picture at 33 percent so im not sure what your doing differently my document size is 26 inches by 36 inches if that helps

How do I set my camera to save all pictures to my phone and not the memory card?

Since I've added a 4G memory card my camera has a very long delay after each picture. I noticed if i switch it to save to the phone there is no delay. Is there any way of fixing this or do I have to switch it every time i use the camera?
Post relates to: Centro (Sprint)

If there is an SD card in the device it is always going to switch over to the SD card to preserve memory on the device. The only way you are going to get it to default to the device and stay on the device is not have the SD card in the device, possibly a third party application that allows to render this functionality but nothing I know of off the top of my head.

I am not able to open my camera to take any pictures. There is some instances where it opens then it returns to advise me that thge camera had an error and needs to restart.. Please advise.

Has anyone else had this issue? I am not sure if the camera app is corrupted or if its the actual camera that is messed up.

Miguel78,
Oh no, I am sorry to hear your camera application isn't working on your phone. Let's get it back in business. Has it ever worked? Is your software up to date? Does the camera have any damage?

Take a picture using built in camera

I have a late-2011 MacBook Pro 15" and currently running Mac OS X version 10.7.4.
How can I use the built in camera to take a picture?
Where exactly is it stored?
What is the file name?
Thanks!

Open Photo Booth and use that (it's in your Applications folder) or (hit commnad space bar and type "Photo Booth"),
then export it to iPhoto then export it from there, or
Print it in Photo Booth and save it as PDF, or open in Preview and take a Command Shift 4 screen shot of it into PGN or JPG format depending what you have set.
Photo Booth stores it's files in the "your User"/Pictures/Photo Booth folder, you can acces the jpegs there too.

How to use sharing to find a stolen laptop

I saw a news story about a guy whose laptop was stolen. He accessed the laptop remotely and watched the activity on it. He finally saw the thief enter his name and address to register on a web site, then he sent the police to that address and they recovered the laptop. (That was a windows machine.) I saw another article - a few months ago - about a stolen Mac laptop that was recovered when the woman who owned it accessed it remotely and used the built-in camera to take a picture of the thief. Cool stuff - which I could not do!
I use a Mac laptop as my only computer, and I travel a lot. If it got stolen, I'd like to be able to access it remotely and try to recover it. I looked at the sharing preferences, and there are ten different options that can be turned on or off. And the descriptions of each of those options are very minimal.
After reading the news stories about people who recovered their stolen laptops, I'd really like to know how to set up sharing services on my Mac to be able to do the same thing.
Are there any articles or web sites or support notes on the topic of "How to set up and use sharing to recover a stolen Macintosh"? If there are, can you direct me to them? If not, this would a great article or support note for somebody to write.
What sharing services would you turn on? If there are configuration options for those services, how should the options be set? If the computer is stolen, what actions would take to track the computer and try to recover it?

that's correct but there are ways around that too (if one knows them). physical access to the computer trumps any safeguards you can put. of course, not every thief would know how to circumvent a firmware password. Still, it's not such a great secret. the method has been discussed many times on this forum for example. I'm not trying to discourage you from buying the software. I just wanted to explain that none of this is foolproof.

how do i access my camera and take pictures?

Launch any app that uses your built-in iSight and use the app's Help menu command for instructions.
If needed, use Mac's Finder > Help menu command to search for "iSight" (without quotation marks) to start. If needed, this Support search may help.
Apple applications like System Preferences > Accounts, Photo Booth, iMovie, iChat, and QuickTime Pro can use your camera with OS X 10.5.8. Use the app(s) that provides the functions you want. (Readers using Mac OS X 10.7 will find that their QuickTime Player Version 10.x can use the camera without upgrading to QT Pro.)
Some of the other apps listed on this old page also may work with your system (check requirements): http://www.ralphjohns.co.uk/EZJim/EZJimpage7.html. Some of these apps are apparently no longer offered by their developers, but alternatives may be available via web search.
