HT3775 I recorded a video on photo booth - and my imac was accidentally turned off before the video was saved. Am I able to recover it?

I can find the video, but it's encrypted. What do I do now?

ISight crashes both Photo booth and iChat

Hello,
My iSight camera seems to be causing issues with Photo Booth and iChat. Both these problems emerged at the same time, so I believe that they're related.
iChat will login properly, but when I try to initiate video chat, the green iSight camera turns on... but promptly crashes iChat.
Photo booth ostensibly works fine in terms of taking regular photos and video recording, but none of the effects work; they appear as black screens. When you try and click on the effects, Photo booth crashes.
My computer otherwise recognizes the camera in System Profiler. I can also use the camera in GChat, via Gmail.
Any ideas on what's wrong?

Welcome to Discussions, bigtsez
The PMU reset suggested in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2090 usually helps such problems for MacBooks.
If not, repair permissions and apply the 10.5.7 COMBO update:
http://support.apple.com/downloads/MacOS_X_10_5_7_ComboUpdate
Repair permissions IMMEDIATELY again after the restart that finishes the installation.
Then test iSight again. Repeat the Troubleshooting suggestions if necessary.

HELP! Closed Photo Booth window while it was recording...

So I was recording video with Photo Booth and I accidently closed the window while it was still recording. But when I open up Photo Booth again the video clip is not in there anymore. I was able to find the file that was generated which was in Home>Pictures>Photo Booth. When I try to open up the file that I found it says Quicktime can't open it. Can anybody help me with this because I really want that clip to work.

You are going to have to re-do the video. Closing a PB window is the same as quiting PB unfortunately.

Most likely you have Office 2004 which are PPC-only applications and will not work in Lion. Upgrade to Office 2011. Other alternatives are:
Apple's iWork suite (Pages, Numbers, and Keynote.)
Open Office (Office 2007-like suite compatible with OS X.)
NeoOffice (similar to Open Office.)
LibreOffice (a new direction for the Open Office suite.)

I have recently updated my macs software then been onto Photo Booth and realised that all of my pictures/videos have been deleted and are not in iPhoto? Im not sure where they have all gone?

PLEASE HELP

Photobooth and iPhoto are two quite different apps with no connection between them. I'd try the Using Mac OS X forum for whatever version of the OS you have.

I can take video made in Photo Booth and use in my Smilebox greetings and I can use photos from iPhoto to use there also. I have not been able to figure out how to take clips from iMovie for that.

For anyone who has used "Smilebox" for greeting cards: I can take video made in Photo Booth and use in my Smilebox greetings and I can use photos from iPhoto to use there also. I have not been able to figure out how to take clips from iMovie for use with Smilebox.

Low sound levels in Photo Booth and Imovie

I am a new Mac user and I am trying to record a short video to email using the built-in Isight camera. I have tried to use Photo Booth and Imovie and both of them produce videos with very, very low sound levels. You can barely hear it even when turned up to the max. I have checked the Sound preferences, and it is set to the built-in microphone, about mid-level. I've tried cranking it up to the max and with and without Use ambient noise reduction checked. It has no effect. How do I get a decent sound level? It is unusable at this point. I've updated my Software and repaired permissions, and still no luck. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Thanks for the response. I checked my midi audio settings and they are at the suggested rate. I called up an Apple support tech, and after trying a few things he basically said the internal mics are junk and go buy an external one. In the mean time, I've cranked up the sound levels to max, so I can hear it a little, but there is a ton of background hiss. I've done a web search and several people have reported this problem. so I think it might be something besides junk mics. Why do they install them if they are completely unusable? Thanks again. I'll try trashing the sound pref's too.

Photo Booth and iSight Problems

Hi there. I notice this topic has been covered a few times, but I have tried most of the ideas and with no luck.
When I try to open photo booth is says "Photo Booth cannot open because no camera is attached or the camera is in use by another application." iChat doesn't see the hardware and neither does image capture for example. It is a built in iSight on an iMAC 24". It seems to happen after the 10.4.9 update - but that could be red herring.
I tried to reset the SMC, uninstall my WACOM pen tablet and Canon Lide60 with no luck.
Ralph Johns did make this post:
Go to the Apple icon top left in the Menu Bar.
Select About the Mac
Clcik the More Info butoon to open the Sytstem Profiler.
Open the Hardware item
Click on USB
Check the details on the right for the camera.
and I noticed under USB there are no camera details - does this help get closer to a resolution?
cheers Pascal
iMac Mac OS X (10.4.9)

Hello, Pascal
It does seem you have tried most of the things that help other users.
Although you do not say which iMac you use, as I understand your post, yours has a built-in iSight. If that is correct, when you look in System Profiler and click the following items:
you should see your camera information. If not, your iMac likely needs professional service. Before you go to see your Apple Service Technician, you can consider any of the following items that you think might be relevant. Although some of the following are not a remedy for no iSight in System Profiler, they might help you or other readers who can see their built-in USB iSights in System Profiler but are still experiencing the "camera in use" error.
Do you use the "Mirror" widget in Dashboard? That is one application that people sometimes forget might be running.
If you use an HP printer/scanner, check the suggestion in this post by parkersal.
If you have not yet tried all relevant suggestions in How to Troubleshoot iSight, do so now. Be sure to check whether the problem is application specific as well as user specific.
I understand that you have already reset the SMC, but, if the reset and other Troubleshooting suggestions you perform now do not correct your problem, you can try the following:- Repair permissions.
- Then download and apply the appropriate combo updater for your iMac:
Mac OS X 10.4.9 Combo Update (iNtel) or
Mac OS X 10.4.9 Combo Update (PPC)
- Finish with another Permissions Repair, and then check your iSight and System Profiler again.Users have reported fixes to a variety of audio, video, connectivity, and software conflicts and unreliability issues after properly applying Combo Updates, but if your iSight still does not show in System Profiler, I think you should see your Apple-Authorized Service Provider for service.
Please let us know what it takes to get sorted.
Cheers,
Jim

Isight is not working on ichat and skype, however will work on photo booth and imovie.

My isight will not work on ichat or skype, saying that there is no camera connected. isight will work in photo booth and imovie. It shows up in the system profiler. Have tried resetting SMC. Help?

(1) Here is how I would proceed to isolate the underlying problem that requires corrective action.
• Shut down everything.
• Then restart modem and allow its self-test to complete.
• Then restart router or wireless access point (if you have them) and allow self-test to complete.
• Then restart Mac.
• Use  > Software Update... (Update your Apple software if not current.)
• Then test Photo Booth or iMovie with no other apps else running to ensure they still work.
• Then quit your test app and try iChat with no other apps else running.
• If iChat works, quit iChat and try Skype with no other apps else running.
(2) If iChat works but Skype does not,
• Verify that you are using the latest version of Skype that is compatible with your OS X (10.5.8) Mac.
• Update if necessary.
• Then test Skype again with no other apps else running.
• If Skype problems remain but your camera works with everything else, Skype's comprehensive support system should best be able to help you use their product with your system.
Start here: https://support.skype.com/
Or, click this link for help specifically related to Mac video calls.
You can also search or post for help with your problem in Skype's dedicated Skype Discussions for Mac. The Skype users who post there may have already solved the same problem.
If nothing else works, you can even sign in and ask for email help directly from Skype's Technical Support people.
(3) If you still have trouble with more than one app, you may need to use Disk Utility to:
• repair permissions,
• repair your disk,
• or even reinstall Mac OS.
If you reinstall OS X 10.5, use the Mac OS X 10.5.8 Combo Update to return to the latest version in one update step.

Photo Booth and Logitech QuickCam Pro 9000

I had this working in Tiger 10.4.10 and I can get the camera to do video in iChat but not in photo booth (or iMovie). It just says camera off.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks,
Jon

I have a similar problem with my Creative Live! Video IM Pro. (VF0410). It is a UVC camera, and it works in iChat, but displays a very messed up image in Photo Booth and QuickTime Pro. This is on my PowerMac G4, running 10.5 (I just bought the camera, so I never tested it under Tiger)

Dear Apple, why not SIMPLY bring Photo Booth and Facetime together?

Dear Apple,
as I was going through your Website I noticed that FaceTime and PhotoBooth are very similar. I don't know how these two are built, but ins't this a great idea bring them together? Because I don't see any problems. And how about having iChat integrated like Windows Lync (Coorporate Communicator)?

Hi,
In actual fact iChat came first.
It had Video Effects before Photo Booth came out and could/can take snapshots of the Preview pic or the chat.
Face Time at one level (visually) is a much simpler app all round.
It does one job. Connecting Video chats on a 1-to-1 basis.
iChat can connect to Jabber servers and/or use the AIM Network (i.e Screen Names and IDs from other servers)
Face Time uses Apple IDs
Face Time also uses port 5223 the same as Jabber servers do (Jabber servers use this for Login).
Currently an MobileMe name ending in @me.com is:-
1) an Apple ID (Access to Communities with an Alias, iTunes, On Line Store, MacApp Store and so on)
2) A Working Email
3) a Valid Screen Name with the AIM Service (providing your password is 16 characters or less (AIM Limit)
4) a Face Time Name. (re 1) ) (Listed only to stress the point)
A @mac.com name is:-
1) a valid AIM Screen Name (Same password Restrictions)
2) An Apple ID (There was a time when names could be registered after MobileMe was launched, up to about 6 months ago when the Apple ID part was Optional)
3) May be a working email if linked to an MobileMe account at the Mobile Me launch.
An Apple ID can be any other name, most likely an email address that has been used to register in any of the places in 1) in the Mobileme bit.
If an Email was used this way it cannot be linked to a new Apple ID (Such as an @mac.com registration for iChat or Face Time)
There would be some use in Face Time having a Jabber server so that Face Time to iChat could be done.
(It remains to be seen how many would wish to add Jabber as well as having an AIM (Valid) name in iChat.
iChat and Face Time can in fact access the camera at the same time (the only two apps that I know can do this without the Camera in Use message).
There might be a call for Video effects in Fact Time but this may be beyond the processor capabilities of iOS devices.
All in all linking Photo Booth and Face Time would only recreate iChat.

Serious Lag issues with Photo Booth and iChat

Ever since I installed Leopard on my mac book pro, I have had terrible lag problems with the movie option in Photo Booth (sometimes even freezing my computer) as well as the video chat in ichat. With Tiger, lag was never a problem when I was on ichat. I have the 1.83 GHz Intel core duo, so I'm surprised this is happening. Any ideas would be very helpful! Thanks!

Welcome to Apple Discussions, Hoosier2010
As you correctly note, the iSight Updater 1.0.3 applies ONLY to Macs with iSight video camera that used OS X v10.3.7-10.3.9. All MacBook Pros came with a later version of Mac OS, and, therefore, cannot use the 1.0.3 Firmware update. That Firmware update is NOT your MacBook Pro's problem.
If your iSight problems began immediately after your MacBook Pro's drive was replaced, I would suspect a hardware problem left uncorrected during the service call. Contact the people who did the work and ask them to correct the problem that began at the time of hard drive replacement.
If the previous service work did not cause your problem, try Apple's suggestions for How to Troubleshoot iSight. If none of the suggestions that you can do to your Mac resolve the trouble, your problem likely is hardware. Hardware problems will require help from your Apple-Authorized Service Provider.

Phonebooth is in your home folder under pictures with Iphoto and Ichat. Deleting pigtures from phonebooth should not remove any from Iphoto library. Something else had to happen.
