ISight not working in Photo Booth with NEW MacBook Air?

I purchased an 11" MacBook Air and received it on May 29, 2014.  When I got it, I had no problems with the webcam.  Now, whenever I open Photo Booth, it doesn't load.  All it shows is a white loading icon on a black screen.  My webcam works in FaceTime, Skype, etc., but not Photo Booth.  I've tried it in test user, I've tried SCM and PRAM reset, I've re-installed Mavericks, and I've installed the combo update, and nothing has worked.  What could be the problem, and how can I resolve it?

  • Iphoto on my used mac mini will not open my photos from my new macbook air, it says to update software but there arent any available.. please help

    iphoto on my used mac mini will not open my photos from my new macbook air,  it says something about updating the software, but i checked and there arent any updates available... please help

    Sorry for the second post..
    I currently do not have an older version of iPhoto to test this on, but you might also try coping the Originals from the iPhoto Library of iPhoto 11.
    To do that;
    1. Right (control) click on the iPhoto Library in the Picture Folder on the MacBook Air
    2. Select Show Package Content.
    3. Click on the Originals Folder
    4. Navigate to the disired Event or photos and copy those images to your Flash or External Drive, then copy those to the older version of iPhoto.
    Beware do not move, add or delete anything in the iPhoto Library, Apple has intensionally hidden it in later versions to prevent people from messing things up.

  • Isight not working in photo booth after Leopard install

    After installing Leopard, isight doesn't work when opening photobooth. I get a grey screen and nothing more. The green light isn't illimuniated. When clicking on the "take a photo" button, the countdown occurs and photobooth goes through the photo taking motions, even making the noises, but nothing shows up and I am unable to click the "take a photo" button again with closing and reopening photobooth. When in imovie, isight works fine. isight also shows up in my system profiler. Any suggestions? Thanks.

  • Issue with Apple Camera VendorID_0x106B ProductID_0x1570 green light blinks continually...camera does not work in photo booth or face time

    Green light blinks continually...camera does not work in photo booth or face time.Any suggestions?

    Hi Rogerya,
    Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities. It sounds like you may be experiencing issues with the built-in FaceTime camera (also known as iSight) on your MacBook Air. The following resource provides relevant troubleshooting information that you can try:
    How to Troubleshoot iSight - Apple Support
    https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT2090
    Important: Follow these instructions in order. Test the camera between steps to see if the issue is resolved.
    Built-in iSight cameras
    These steps are for iSight cameras that are built into a computer, such as the iMac G5 (iSight) or later, the MacBook, or MacBook Pro.
    1. See if the issue is application-specific.
    Try another application (iSight works with applications like iChat, PhotoBooth, and iMovie HD 6) to see if the iSight camera exhibits the same behavior in all applications. If it only happens in one application, try reinstalling that application.
    2. See if the issue is user-specific.
    Test your iSight camera in another user account. If the issue only occurs in one user, the issue would be isolated to user settings.
    3. Find out if the computer recognizes the iSight
    Check System Profiler (in the Utilities folder, inside the Applications folder). Under the USB header, check to see if the iSight camera is detected.
    4. Reset SMC or PMU
    Reset your computer's SMC or PMU, and then check System Profiler again. (SMC reset instructions for iMac G5 (iSight), Intel-based iMacs; PMU reset instructions for MacBook and MacBook Pro.)
    If your built-in iSight camera is still not behaving correctly after trying all these steps, you may need to contact Apple or an Apple-Authorized Service Provider for service.

  • External iSight not recognized by Photo Booth, MBP, lid closed

    When there is an external iSight and an external screen is attached to my MacBook Pro (where the lid is closed), Photo Booth does not seem to recognize it. I can use the camera with iChat, though.
    Any ideas for a trick to make it work?

    Hello Rainer Joswig
    I do not believe that Photo Booth allow you to do what you want.
    See this recent post: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6967961&#6967961
    We are still waiting to see whether any MacBook Pro users can offer a solution or workaround.

  • Photoshop CS4 does not recognize raw photos taken with newer cameras. Anyone else have this problem?

    Photoshop CS4 will not recognize RAW2 photos taken with my new Panasonic Lumix FZ100 camera. This camera is listed in Adobe's 6.2 Camera Raw update for Photoshop CS5 but cannot be loaded in CS4. I paid a lot of money for CS4 and don't want to buy CS5 just because I bought a new camera, but it appears that Adobe no longer updates Camera Raw for CS4 or with newer cameras. When I called the Help Desk to find out if there was some kind of patch I could get to make CS4 compatible with my new camera a gentleman in New Delhi informed me that he couldn't even answer my question until I paid $40 since answering questions about CS4 was a "paid service." I hung up in a rage. Does anyone else have this problem and is there a solution?

    This camera is listed in Adobe's 6.2 Camera Raw  update for Photoshop CS5 but cannot be loaded in CS4.
    Adobe does indeed not update obsolete versions of Camera Raw for new camera types.
    And guess what: It’s the camera producers who seem to like to change their raws – so how about spreading some of your indignation their way?
    I paid a lot of  money for CS4 and don't want to buy CS5 just because I bought a new  camera
    The upgrade is cheaper than buying the full version.
    Anyway, you could try the free DNG Converter which should be able to handle everything the most recent version of Camera Raw can handle.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    When you try to turn off the MacBook Air, do you see any message telling you that an app couldn't be closed? As a test, close all applications and turn off your Mac.
    Also, reset the SMC > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964

  • Cannot associate Apple ID with new MacBook AIr

    I just purchased a new MacBook Air and have all of the latest updates done to it.  I try to associate my Apple ID to the computer and get an error message saying I have reached my limit of Authorized computers 5 out of 5.  I went into my account and clicked on Manage Devices, but I only see 1 MacBook listed as a device (a previous computer of mine), the others are iPads & iPhones, which totaled more than 5 to begin with.  I tried deleting/unauthorizing a few of these devices and tried registering my account again on the MacBook Air, but am still getting the error message.
    Is there any other place that I can unauthorized computers on my account? I am thinking I may have an old PC or Mac associated with my iTunes account (that I no longer have access to and has since been recycled).
    I only see that one Mac on my account under devices, so according to that, I should have the ability to add 4 other computers, unless I'm missing something.

    Hi jmcaninch,
    I apologize, I feel there may be a bit of confusion regarding authorizing a computer vs. associating a computer/device, which are two similar but seperate processes. All Associated computers/devices are also Authorized, but not necessarily vice versa. There are different limitations on each, and the Manage Devices screen will only show Associated computers/devices, not Authorized computers. For more information and clarification, you may find the following articles helpful:
    Authorize your computer in iTunes - Apple Support
    iTunes Store: Associating a device or computer to your Apple ID - Apple Support
    In particular for your specific issue, you may find this portion from the first article helpful:
    What happens if I run out of authorizations?
    If one of your 5 authorizations is on a computer you don't use much anymore, deauthorize it. If you've sold or given away a computer that used one of your 5 authorizations, you'll need to deauthorize all of your computers and then re-authorize each one you still use.
    How do I know how many computers I've authorized?
    If you've authorized more than 2 computers, you can see how many are authorized.
    Open your account in iTunesand sign in with your Apple ID. (Or, open iTunes, click Store > Sign In, and enter your Apple ID and password.) In the Apple ID Summary section, you’ll see the number of computers that you’ve authorized with your Apple ID. You can’t see the names of those computers. 
    Do I need to authorize my iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch?
    No. You don’t need to authorize your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, but you do need toassociate your iOS devices with your Apple ID. Your iOS devices don’t use your available authorizations.
    Regards,
    - Brenden

  • I can't get a thunderbolt connection to work between my iMac and new macbook air

    I would like to establish a connection between my iMac and new macbook air using a thunderbolt connector. Nothing seems to happen when I plug the cable in to each device. When I open Settings/Network it shows up the Thunderbolt bridge as 'Not Connected' on the MacBook and as 'Some Connected' on the iMac. I have no problems with connecting another device (iPad) to the iMac. Can anyone help please?

    Nothing happens when I try to boot up using the command+R keys.
    Did you hold down those keys before booting and continue till you get to a selections window?  You should get this:
    If you can't boot into the Recovery volume make an appointment with the nearest Apple Genius bar for a diagnosis.  You're still under warranty.

  • Wifi problems with new MacBook Air?

    I have just bought a new MacBook Air.
    For some reason the Air cannot find one of my WiFi networks called XF11. Its not a problem with the router being too far away because thats in my bedroom where I use the Air. The strange thing is my iPhone, my brothers iPad and my old MacBook find the network straightaway.
    On a few occasions over the last couple of days  when I have looked at the list of networks available it has briefly shown up but has then disappeared?
    Any help would be most appreciated, its very frustrating!
    Cheers!
    Apologies if this is the wrong category to post this

    It's new and in warranty. Please make a Genius Appointment and take it in for service.

  • Slooowww download speeds with new MacBook Air.

    I recently replaced my old MacBook from 2007 with a new MacBook Air. Since I've gotten it I've had a series of frustruations. I hadn't even thought to check if it had an ethernet port or a cd drive. Because it has nither I've had to download versions of things I'd generally install via CD. My download speeds seem to be incredibly slow on this new MacBook Air, it took hours to download firefox. I feel like my older MacBook was much faster, I don't understand. I recently did a speed test (I have Comcast) for the MacBook Air and it came up with a 1mbps download speed. Is this an issue with the computer or with my modem (docis 3.0, cable) or router (standard belkin) or with Comcast? I'm pretty frustrutaed.
    Other questions:
    I'd love to plug this directly into our cable modem, but I see that I need an adapter.
    I'd also love to connect this to my iMac via thunderbolt cable and use use target disc mode to install some stuff.
    I'd like to buy a plain thunderbolt cable to have for use with more modern computers, and adapters for use with this older/other stuff. Is there an adapter that lets me attach the thunderbolt cable to an ethernet wire so I can plug directly into the modem? Also, my imac has a firewire 800 port, not a thunderbolt port, so is there a thunderbolt to firewire 800 cable?
    What would be the cheapest way of getting these cables and adapters, (links would be very appreciated!)?
    Thanks!

    Yes. Take it back for a replacement. Take the computer with you so you can test the new one.

    Welcome to Discussions, Stanley Chung
    Sorry you are still having problems even after trying the good suggestions from Ralph and Boomer.
    I did not see specifically from your posts that your iSight worked before upgrading to Snow Leopard, but I am inferring from your topic's title that it did. If your iMac came with Snow Leopard installed, please post and tell us whether you erased the disk and reinstalled all your iMac's software before you started using it. If you upgraded your iMac to Snow Leopard, consider the following.
    (1) Until you get iSight working, do all your testing while no peripherals other than keyboard/mouse are attached to your iMac. To eliminate all possibility of any conflict external to your Mac, be sure you also disconnect any wireless devices (iPod, printer, etc) connected to your system.
    (2) If you still have problems with all you have tried, it seems to me that you must have a software issue. You might try uninstalling Skype and VMWare and testing again to see if those installations are causing a conflict.
    (3) Check the support sites for all of your third party software to be sure there are no known Snow Leopard issues and that you are using the latest compatible versions.
    (4) If the problem still exists and you have not already tried this, reinstall Snow Leopard, repairing permissions immediately before and after the reinstall.
    (5) If your problem remains and System Profiler still shows your inbuilt iSight as a USB device, I suggest you backup all important files, erase your disk, reinstall all Apple software, and test to see if iSight works properly. Once it does, you can install any necessary peripherals and third-party apps one-at-a-time, testing after each addition to see if one of them is causing problems.
