My computer isn't recoginzing that I have a built in camera.
I know something LIKE this has been posted many different times, but I've tried many different things, and nothing seems to be working.
I just got my MacBookPro two-weeks ago. Everything was running up and well, until two nights ago. I was trying to transfer something from a PC to the Mac -- I'm new to the "new-age macs" so I asked a friend to help; neither of us could get it to work. Long story short: I tried to access PhotoBooth yesterday morning, and the message: Photo Booth cannot open because no camera is attached or the camera is in use by another app... close the app before trying to open Photo Booth again."
There is no green light on. I've logged out, shut down, force quit, checked running applications at start-up... still, it's not working. Any help would be much appericated. Thanks.
I also shut my computer down over night, and unplugged everything. When I restarted the green light came on. I went through everything to see what might be using it. Closed out iChat, and other applications. Logged out. Restarted. The light went off, but the Photo Booth, as well as iImage and iMovie won't work either.

i can't seem to get my iPad to synch with my new iMac. The iTunes prompt says that this computer isn't authorised although i have registered it on iTunes. Any other ideas for how to overcome this block?
What do you mean by 'registered it on iTunes' ? You've authorised your account on your Mac's iTunes via the Store > Authorise This Computer menu option ? And you've copied your library onto the Mac ?

I cant figure out how to authorize my office computer to download songs that I have purchased. A message saying I cant do it, but gives me no link to make it happen. Frustrating.Can someone help?
If you're running iTunes 11 and you don't see the menus, press Control-B or go to the small icon with the arrow at the extreme upper left and select "Show Menu Bar":
Apple for some inexplicable reason elected to hide the menus by default in the Windows version of iTunes 11.
I doubt that this will address a download problem, though. You'll need to provide more details about that; what device you're attempting the download on, the exact error message, and other such pertinent information.

My ichat says "computer does not support video chat" when i have a built in camera. what can i do?
Hi,
In iChat open the Connection Doctor (Video menu) and the the Capabilities option
Are all items showing Green ?
Try restarting iChat (It re-reads the computers Ability at each launch)
If that does not work try restarting the Computer.
Make sure that in iChat menu > Preference > Video Section the Bandwidth Limit is not set to 100kbps (this is too Low for 1-1 video chats)
Do a Speed test
"Real World" speeds need at least 256kbps both up and down.
Check the System Profiler is "seeing" the camera.
It will be in Hardware > USB

Improperly seating memory is the curse of everyone, even experts. No one wants to "break" the memory or the slot by pushing too hard.
So, try again. Push maybe *just a twinge* harder to seat the memory (just a twinge).
As to speed ... memory mainly lets you keep more things active concurrently. Unless you were severely overtaxing your old memory and causing huge "Page Out" counts, only faster HD makes huge speed increases. -
I just purchased a new computer. My old computer has several "libraries" that have been saved. How do I know how to transfer the data most efficiently?
The progress for some games will transfer since some games synce progress to a cental server. For other games you will have to have the backup of the old iPod.
You can restore from backup or access the backup. See:
How to transfer game saves between iOS devices, without iTunes, and without jailbreaking | TUAW - The Unofficial Apple Weblog
If you have acces to the old iPod yu can make a backup by connecting the iPod to the computer and right click on the iPOd under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up. Then restore from that backup. -

I have itunes on my computer in my main user account. I want ot have the same itunes on the other user account on my computer - under the apple account info- it says that I already have 2 computers authorized - how do I find out which 2 they are talking about? the only button nearlby is one that says to 'deauthorize all' etc.... thanks,. I have a pc.
You can only deauthorize all your itunes computers once a year, so I would avoid clicking that at the moment. Log onto the 2nd user, and open itunes. Go to Store> Authorize This computer.
As an alternative, you could point the 2nd user itunes library to the primary itunes folder. So both users would use the same itunes folder. You can do this by holding shift, clicking itunes icon. There should be an option to browse for an existing library. Locate the main computers itunes folder. (Most likely under: C:\Users\*Account name*\Music where *Account name* would be your main user accounts name.
Good luck! -
Apple TV 2 isn't recognizing that I have a season pass after update.
I recently updated to the latest update on Apple TV. I have a season pass to a show, but now my Apple TV 2 does not allow me to download episodes without paying for them again. I am logged in with my apple ID, so that's not the problem. I received am email saying that I had episodes available to download, but the instructions on the email are outdated (it wants me to choose the "download" setting, which doesn't exist. I suppose I can just download the episode to my computer and connect that to my TV, but that completely defeats the purpose of having the AppleTV. Any suggestions greatly appreciated!
Hi Rudegar,
Thanks for the post however the download you sent me to is for Windows (see below) I am running Snow Leopard on an iMac. Could anyone help with this as this is still not resolved.
