I deleted photo booth by accident

So, I accidentally deleted the photo booth application. It is gone. I have searched applications, the HD, etc. My Macbook is very new (Christmas) just for reference. I tried reinstalling my the bundled applications on my Mac OS X disk but is wasn't there. PLEASE HELP! I miss photo booth!

I have the exact same problem! I got mine at Christmas too. I was stupid and didn't know anything at the time and thought I only misplaced my photo booth. But it really is missing, I am sure I have deleted it, and I can't find a way to get it back. Also it is not in the bundle you keep talking about, is there any other way???

Accidentally deleted photo booth (and other preinstalled apps) on ipad

I think my little one deleted FaceTime, Photo Booth, Camera, and a couple other apps on our new iPad. How can I get them back?

I'm puzzled why Time Machine didn't work. You can open the Photo Booth app from the applications folder in Time Machine ( it took a long time for the folder to start operating, but after about a minute wait the applications folder worked just like the on on the current desktop) from your last good system. You don't have to completely restore the whole system. Just open the app in the Time Machine folder, and you should be good to go. I accidentally deleted Photo Booth yesterday, and restored it today by opening the app from Time Machine of a few days ago.

I deleted photo booth off my Mac. It is not in the application folder, and I do not have an installer CD. Is there anything I can do?

About a year ago I deleted Photo Booth. I somehow found a link to get it back, and it worked perfectly, but when I quit Photo Booth, I lost it. I could never find the link since. I have been looking for something despretly, but I have only found answers that have said "use your install CD". I got my Mac pre-used so I did not get it with any CD. Hence, my problem. I need someone to help. Maybe post another link or something?

check your purchase tab in the app store. if it does not show up there than you will have to buy it unless there is a backup available from a disc or time machine . hope this helps.

How do I delete Photo Booth

How do I delete the Photobooth app in Ipad Air?
Its a "built-in" app ... but so is Garage Band, and Ive deleted it okay.
Thanks

You did not read the fine print at the bottom of the page so here it is. It is not a preinstalled app. You cannot delete Photo Booth. I'm sorry.
GarageBand is free on the App Store for all iOS 7 compatible devices; additional GarageBand instruments and sounds are available with an in-app purchase. iPhoto, iMovie, Pages, Numbers and Keynote are free on the App Store for qualifying iOS 7 compatible devices activated on or after September 1, 2013. See www.apple.ca/ios/whats-new/ for iOS 7 compatible devices. Downloading apps requires an Apple ID.

How do I delete photo booth from my macbook pro?

I'm deleting some unneeded applications from my new Macbook Pro. I have been successful with most and all of them that are not required as part of the OS system. However, there are other apps that are more difficult to remove as I was able to go into Utilities and Terminal and type in some other specific applications that I wanted to remove (like Stickies, Chess, etc.). However, one I am having trouble deleting is Photo Booth. I also want to disable the webcam so I cannot even activate it by mistake. Can someone tell me how to do that?
I was successful in removing all of the icons other than Finder, Safari and Trash from the bottom of my screen now that I have deleted everything else and it is much cleaner.
Thank you!

Here's an app that supposedly will disable your isight. Says it works in Lion, maybe it will work in ML too: Download iSight Disabler for Mac - Quickly turn on/off your USB iSight. MacUpdate.comhttps://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/23346/isight-disabler
Here's a thread with several possible solutions for disabling the isight: Is there a way to turn off and On the...: Apple Support Communities
And here is a page with a Terminal command for deleting Photo Booth: How to Delete Safari, Mail, FaceTime, Photo Booth, and Other Default Mac OS X Apps
As a general rule, however, removing system software is a bad idea.
If you're really paranoid about the camera, then a little piece of tape over the lens would do the trick!

I just deleted photo booth from my imac how do i get it back!?

I just deleted photo booth from my imac how do i get it back?

Did you just remove it from the dock?
If so, then it is still in your applications folder.
If it is really deleted, then you need to get it back from your time machine back up if you have one or or from a OS install disk if you have one.

I deleted my photo booth on accident how do I get it back

I deleted my photo booth and cant find it online anywhere to reinstall and lost my software that came with my laptop can someone help please!!

Did you remove the actual application from the Applications folder or did you possibly just take it out of the Dock?
The latter is easy to fix. Open a Finder window and go to the Applications folder. In it, Find PhotoBooth. Drag the icon into your dock.
Best of luck.

Deleted Photo Booth accidentally.

I got my first Mac a few months ago, and I accidentally deleted the photo booth application. I thought i was just taking the icon off the dock, but i removed the whole thing. Is there any way I can get it back, or DL it again? I haven't been able to find it in the DL section of this site.

Thanks, Niel! I had the same problem and - as you've suggested it - I downloaded Pacifist, which requires the 2 install disks that came with my iMac to be inserted one after the other. It's so much easier (practically 1-click away) to reinstall applications that have been deleted by complete accident, rather than performing a custom install manually.
Thanks again!

I deleted photo booth by mistake and i dont have the cd to reinstall , what do i do?

I deleted my photo booth by mistake and i dont have the cd to reinstall it ..... i have an old mac and i dont know what to do .... please help

You can call Apple Customer Support 1-800-767-2775, provide the Serial Number and specifications of the Mac, and for a fee, a replacement set of system discs (if available), can be ordered.
However, the discs will be for the original version of OS, that was pre-installed, when the Mac was manufactured.

Accidentally deleted photo booth?!

i accidentally deleted my photo booth application from the computer, not the dock. i tried using pacifist with the os x instal disc and the applications install disc but i cant find the photo booth application anywhere.
am i just not looking that well enough or does photo booth not come on either disc?

i restored it and used it. i now have the application, which is progress, but now i dont have the effects that come with PB. its just a couple of random ones that dont work at all.
everything else works. the camera is recognized, it takes the picture while its in the normal effect mode, but when i click effects, grey screens appear where the effects should be.
ive deleted PB and tried reinstalling to see if the problem will go away, but no luck. any suggestions?

I think i deleted photo booth and now i cant find it

Ok so one day i was messing around with my computer and i pulled somethings out from the bar at the bottom of my screen (the bar with all the apllications on it), so i retrieved some of the other thigns that I pulled out of that bar, but I couldn't find the photo booth! And i downloaded a new app from my computers app store but unfornutaly it had only pictures and you can't even snap the picture you just save it and it has no video and for what you pay for this computer, you should have AMAZING customer service but when i called the woman was really rude and said my warranty had expired a few weekes before which is CRAZY!!! Someone please help me thanks!

I didn't even know this was possible. I just uncheck my holiday tracks so they won't be on my iPod until I want them there, then I recheck the songs.

Is there a way I can just download this app? It is no longer in the applications folder. I deleted it using MacPrivacy---I was just trying to remove the pictures that were in there but it deleted the whole application. Help. Please.

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.

/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.

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!!!

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:

Accidentally deleted photo booth, garage band, and dvd player applications

I thought I was deleting shortcuts, but evidently I was mistaken.
I don't have the disk. How do I get them back?
Thanks,

Restore from your backup. Don't have any? Then, you need the discs. Replacements available from 1-800-MY-APPLE.

How to retrieve accidentally deleted Photo Booth pictures?

I accidentally pressed the "x" button on the bottom of a pic that I wanted to keep. I tried Google to help solve this situation, but only found the following thread to no avail: http://forums.macosxhints.com/showthread.php?t=83220
One of the responders to a person that was in my same situation posted the following directory: /private/var/tmp/folders.501/TemporaryItems/com.apple.PhotoBooth/IntermediateTr ashDirectory/
That doesn't work.
Does anybody know how to find those pictures?
It's not in my Trash, I don't know where it is.

Nevermind, I found them.
Located In /private/var/folders/Np/…/-Tmp-/com.apple/Photobooth
So to anybody in that same predicament, you may know where to look in 10.5.7
