Isight /photo booth Camera in use after downloading outside app

I downloaded some application for a hellokitty digi cam.
Now my photo booth wont open and my isight claims to be in use by another application.
I have tried deleting everything that could possibly be associated with the digital camera but nothing seems to work. how can I restart photo booth and get my camera to work?!

Welcome to Discussions, howvogue
If resetting your SMC ( http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1411 ) does not help, try the following in the order below:
(1) If you "deleted" by dragging things to trash on your own, the first thing I suggest you try is to see if customer support or the documentation for the non-Apple Software you installed has an actual uninstaller or specific uninstall instructions. If it does, you may need to reinstall the software in order to allow the uninstaller to work properly. After you have carefully followed the uninstall instructions, restart your Mac, use Disk Utilities to repair permissions, and test to see if your problem is solved.
(2) If not, or if you can find NO help on how to properly uninstall the software that caused your problem, restore your Mac's hard disk from the backup that you made immediately before installing "hellokitty digi cam."
(3) If you do not already have such a backup, backup all your MacBook's (MB's) important info now, erase your MB's hard disk, and reinstall its OS and applications software. Then, restore your data from your backup.
The last option will be a lot of work, but it should get rid of your MB's cat allergy.
Please let us know how it goes and what works. We will watch for your status update.

  • Photo Booth became black screen after Newpad updated to iOS 7

    Photo booth became black screen after Newpad updated to iOS 7

    It is not a widespread issue that requires apple to come out with a fix, I have many ipads that were updated and have no issues.
    I would suggest you back-up and restore your device, that can repair many issues if the original update was corrupted.

  • Photo Booth camera unavailable?

    I recently wiped my mac and photo booth no longer works. The application comes up but the loading symbol just goes round and round for hours and nothing happens, even the little green light doesn't come on. At the top of the mac screen in photo booth>camera section it says 'no camera available' but when i open my FaceTime the light comes on and camera works. How can i fix my photo booth??

    Make sure FaceTime and any other camera applications are not running.  Try booting in safe mode to see if Photo Booth works.  If it does not, you may need to reset the SMC (if the machine is older than 4 years), or reset the PRAM (if it is younger than 4 years).

  • HT5622 Which Apple ID was used  to download an App?

    HI, there is an app on my iMac that requires an update, App Store reminds me "all the time"!!!
    Problem is I don't recall which Apple id was used to download it, and it won't let me update it as I get a msg to "sign in with aplle id used to download this app".
    (I even think I may have downloaded this App on my old iMac...)
    This app in particular is Smart Converter, an app to convert media files for use on different media, like iphone, ipad, imac, apple tv, etc...
    Can't I just delete the App and download it again using my current Apple Id?
    Thank you for any help with this.

    OK I finally was able to delete it...had to do a restart to finlaize deletion, but the app was gone after. And have re-installed it with my current apple id.
    Thanks.

    Hello senthil gp,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    The connect to iTunes screen on the device means it is in recovery mode.  Take a look at the following article for troubleshooting this issue:

    Hi dip_kinu,
    I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on exactly what device you are trying to set up and what is happening when you try to do so. If you are having issues remembering your Apple ID, or feel like you may have set up multiple Apple ID's, you may find the following page helpful:

  • After downloading an app from the app store, all net access is lost until wifi disconnect/reconnect

    Hi everyone,
    iPhone 4s upgraded to ios 6.  After downloading an app, any app, from the apps store, I lose all internet connectivity.  If I then disconnect and reconnect to wifi, I regain internet access until I go to the app store again.  I've tried just about everything I can think of, reset network connections, full restore back to ios 6 then reinstall all apps, still occurs. 
    Ideas?

    If you're not able to do backups, that is likely a separate issue and something that you need to resolve soon. This isn't normal, so try to get that fixed before you have more severe data loss.
    Why downloading an app blows away your other apps is a mystery, but if you have no backups on your computer then re-syncing would re-load the "missing" apps, but no data to restore so that's why you lost it. The app data might be somewhere on the phone, but this is not accessible since the phone was designed to sync and backup to iTunes. Since that isn't working, you really don't have any recourse to get the app data back.
    I would recommend searching the forum as to why you can't do a backup, and if you can't find answers then start another thread on that topic.

  • Why my iphone cannot switch on after download some apps?

    Why my iphone cannot switch on after download some apps?

    YOu can't what, you can't do the reset?
    Do you have any battery life left?  Plug your phone to the wall charger wait 5 minutes, then do the reset while the phone is plugged in.

    Hi maikeru1,
    If you have your apps synced to iTunes, you can use a similar process to that outlined in the following article (the Get Info command) to show what Apple ID it was purchased under:

  • Photo Booth Camera Resolution after taking photo

    Sometimes after I take a photo using photo booth that has an effect like the roller coaster, the image being displayed from the camera has an awful red tinge to it. I have to shut down photo booth and start it back up again to get the image it is capturing to be acceptable. I thought it might be my imac (brand new) so I went back to a apple store and tried it on one of theirs and got the same problem. Any ideas??

  • Photo booth - camera used by another application

    Photo Booth suddenly gives the message that it is in use by another application - I have never used it in any other application nor is any other application running - using "user friendly" language, please tell me how to get this running again. The only new application I have installed is the program for my broadband connection (Verizon) - I don't know if the problem started at this time since I had not used it around that time. If this caused it, how to I get it to work again?
