Macbook pro photo booth not working

When I try to use Photo Booth, I get a message that the camera is not connected. What do I do?

Did you search the forum here for any solution to that problem, because far as I know the only way to fix it is to install OS X over itself + PhotoBooth.
PhotoBooth can only be reinstalled that way as it's not seperate from OS X like other Apple software is.
You can backup your files off the machine and perform a Reinstall Just OS X method here

You haven't identified the version so I can't tell if offering you contact options for Adobe Support will be of use to you. But they will likely be your only hope of getting resolution unless you just happen to be using the wrong number as the serial number.

I would recommend first doing a PRAM reset. You can find instructions for that in https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3603.
Please let us know if that works or not, there are several other things you can try.

Photo Booth Not Working

Hi there! OK. Seasoned user here, just can't quite figure this out... My Photo Booth application isn't working correctly. It is not saving the picture. After I take a picture (of myself, for example) it will freeze on the picture and not show the photo down below, its just blank. Then, I have to close the program. When I restart it the photo is not there... I tried trashing the plist file for Photo Booth to no avail. I tried restarting, repairing permissions, etc. Nothing works. I even tried reinstalling the "bundled apps" dvd and no go... Ok, can anyone help me with this? Am I going to have to reinstall Mac OS X? I would rather not since it's fully updated to 10.6.3 (and since I recently had to wipe everything out and start over already) someone please advise... Oh! Another tidbit.. I checked the Console log after Photo Booth freezes up and it keeps reporting this in Console:
"* -[NSCFArray initWithObjects:count:]: attempt to insert nil object at objects[0]"
Help!

To all those having the same freezing issues in Photo Booth (not allowing you to save photos within program) Discussions user "maahs_k " has helped me. Here was his solution for another user that ultimately helped me! maybe it will help you too...
check your photo booth folder permissions
macintosh hd/users/your_user/pictures/"photo booth"
I've had a number of the machines at my building have that folder's owner become blank or change to system.
once you have the folder selected in the finder go to
File->"Get Info"
and if your user isn't listed as the owner with
read & write
privileges then click the + to add your user and/or change your privilages then try to take a picture in photobooth.

Flash for Photo Booth not working. Can it be fixed?

My flash in Photo Booth stopped working--can it be fixed? And if so, can a local computer store do it?

Apple doesn't fix phones, they replace them. Bring your phone and $199 to Apple for an out of warranty replacement. Damage to the camera by the excessive heat has voided your warranty.

Photo Booth not working - OS Yosemite- Macbook Air 11-Inch

Dear Apple Community,
Has anyone experience having problem with Photo Booth while on Apple OS Yosemite? I currently updated my OS on my MacBook Air 11inch and my photobooth Application cannot record more then 20 Mins, - Immediately after 20 mins the application crashes.
Went to my Apple reseller and technical staff said the same thing and cannot seem to identify why this is happening. So they advice me not to upgrade to Yosemite and just stay on Maverick.
Hope to get some feedback from the community on this.

I've got a MacBook Pro 13-inch from early 2011. Photo Booth will only video in fits and starts, so the videos I attempt are very choppy. Sometimes it records sound while occasionally taking a still. Photobooth occasionally crashes. I've got over 100 gigs of free space, I've reset the PRAM twice, and I'm in the process of deleting more files.

Welcome to Discussions, palodoma !
Some other things you can try if necessary:
(1) Use Disk Utility to repair permissions, restart your Mac, and test whether the problem persists.
(2) Try all relevant suggestions from http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2090
(3) If you updated using your Macs'  > Software Update... feature,
use Disk Utility to repair permissions. Then download and install the
Mac OS X v10.6.2 Update (Combo): http://support.apple.com/kb/DL959
Immediately after the restart that completes the update, repair permisssions again.
Then test whether your problem persists.

Welcome to Discussions, jenniferroyce
(1) If you have not already done so since you reinstalled Photo Booth, I suggest you use your Mac's Disk Utility to repair permissions and then try Photo Booth again. If you have never repaired permissions before, be patient. If your disk requires much repair, the process can take up to several hours the first time.
(2) If your Photo Booth problem persists after repairing permissions, backup all important information on your Mac before restoring again. If you need help with backup, see your Mac's Help or
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1553
(3) After you have backed up your Mac, reinstall Photo Booth again.
If your Mac came with OS X 10.5.x, the easiest way to do this is to reinstall all of your Mac's Apple bundled application software by using the DVD that came your iMac. (The software restore disk for another kind of Macs doesn't work.) Photo Booth is one of the applications that will be restored.
If you need help with this restore process, follow the instructions in the User Guide manual that also came with your Mac. If you do not have access to your User Guide, you can download it by finding your Mac here and following the links for "Manuals" for your specific model:
http://www.apple.com/support/imac/
If your iMac came with a version of OS X earlier than 10.5.x and you upgraded to Leopard, use your Leopard upgrade DVD and instructions to reinstall the Leopard bundled apps.
I suggest you *repair permissions* immediately before and after restoring your apps.

Photo Booth Not working after reinstalling my OS

A bunch of programs got stolen from me while I was connected to the internet. My whole CS, dreamweaver and photobooth of all apps. So I reinstalled my OS so that photobooth would be back on. Now when I open it its just a blank screen.. like my camera isnt working or something. Not even, there isnt even a black screen. Its just blank. It used to work somewhat when I reinstalled it but all the view modes for the camera looked wacked out. Can anyone help me to fix my photobooth?

Replacement MacBook Pro's camera not working!

Hey there. Faulty MacBook Pro (speakers buzzing, lid not closing properly left side and running a "bit hot" was replaced within the first week- arrived a week after requesting it (original took 48 hours to arrive) and when I transferred the data from the old one via Firewire and started Photo Booth the camera light appeared and for a brief moment I even had a blurred picture which quickly faded.
Now all I get is blackness.
Checked to see what might be different between the two machines and the only thing I can think is that it was still running 10.4.6 as opposed to the one it is meant to replace- which is up to 10.4.7.
HOWEVER- when THAT one came out of the box and I started Photo Booth it presumably ran WELL on the same version! In fact I was so impressed that I uploaded my first photo blog within a few hours!
So- what can be the problem? Could it be that the transferred data was "optimised" for 10.4.7 by the time it was transferred?
Or am I looking at ANOTHER faulty machine? I am getting a bit tired of the rather shoddy treatment I have been receiving from Apple's Asian call centre personnel, and the possibility that I am looking at ANOTHER replacement fills me with TOTAL horror.
Hoping that someone wise here has a simple enough suggestion about what it might be..?

OK- ran hardware test as per manual. Nothing untoward found. So it MUST be a software issue, right?
This is the same MacBook Pro as the other one. Only THIS one was asked to use Firewire to transfer data from the one it replaces instead of me first registering it.
Anyone have this?
Camera kind of works (flashes into dark sepia but quickly fades to either complete black or some white spots from lights) and green light IS on when it should be.

Macbook Pro intranet will not work on iPads

I'm trying to set up an intranet network hosted on my MacBook Pro running Mountain Lion 10.8.5. I have created a local web site hosted in the Apache server on the MBP, and I want 5 iPads to access it. Its event photos for sale. The problem is, the site shows up on the iPads ok, but when I tap a photo to enlarge it, it hesitates, then the browser crashes, every time, no matter what browser is used.
I'm using an Airport Extreme for the wifi. The problem occurs whether connected to the internet or not. I tried connecting the Airport to the MBP with an ethernet cable, and making a whole new intranet network on the Airport, and it still does the same thing, despite trying a lot of different configurations. So, I got a MAMP server, and it still did not help. I need it to work offline because the events I photograph rarely have internet access. I've tried using the peer-to-peer connection with the same result.
I have used the exact same system hosted on my iMac (identical operating system) with no problems.
I can't figure out what is wrong, any help would be appreciated!
