My daughter deleted camera shutter.caf and another wav file named camera

when I open photobooth or any other app that used to use to built-in camera (i.e skype) I get msg saying no camera found. I looked in trash and found 2 files one called camera shutter.caf and another wav file names camera. I guess my daughter deleted these files by mistake:(
I'm not sure how to restore the camera to work as before.

Welcome to Discussions, nirush
(1) If you have made a backup of your Mac's hard drive, you can restore your Mac from the latest working backup. Time Machine is particularly simple to use for this sort of thing, but clones or other backup methods can work, too:
  http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.6/en/9052.html
(2) If your iMac is so new that you have not ever backed it up, now would be a good time to get an external drive so you can start a regular backup routine as soon as you get your Mac working again. Your retailer can help you select one that is good for your system and the way you use it.
(3) Troubleshoot your iSight as suggested in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2090
If your Apple apps work when you troubleshoot and your only iSight problem in any user account is with Skype, you only need to reinstall the Skype app.
However, if your iSight does not work with Apple apps either (examples: QuickTimeX and iMovie) in any user account you test, the easiest thing to do is to reinstalling the software that came with your iMac. After reinstalling your Apple software, iSight should work with the Apple apps. If you need help reinstalling your Apple software, see the User Guide manual that came with your iMac.
If Skype still does not work after reinstalling the Apple software, you will need to reinstall Skype, too.

  • My daughter deleted my utilities app and I don't know how to get it back.  Can anyone give advice?

    My four year old deleted my utilities app and I'm not sure how to get it back.  Can anyone help with this?

    That's a folder containing several apps.  Look for it on another page.  If you still can't find it, you can go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset Home Screen Layout.  That will place all the original apps in their original locations with any added apps following in alphabetical order.

  • My daughter deleted my pandora app, and now I can't reinstall it. How can I get it back?

  • Adobe CreatePDF Basic version - deleting pages in PDF and combining PDF files

    Deletion, no.

  • My daughter deleted my some photos and later on i formated my iphone also, can i get those pics back?

    can i get those photos back?

    If they really meant that much to you, they would have been copied off to a computer at the earliest possible opportunity.
    I personally find it amazing that people get so upset when pictures "accidentally" get deleted and then scream about how important they are.  You wouldn't leave important paper work lying around to be lost/damaged/stolen, so why take a chance with important pictures on a device that can so easily be lost/damaged/stolen, or deleted by a child.

  • Deleting a User Account and All the Files

    Hello , I would like to delete my daughters user account and everything in it to Free Up much needed hard drive space that it is taking up because the user now has their own Macbook Pro.
    I am the administrator and I am tringy to delete her account using system preferences , but I just get both the spinning progress circle and the dreaded spinning beach ball at the same time which just keeps spinning ... on and on and on .. after I go through the prompts asking me if I really want to delete the account.
    Any help ?

    Yeah but OSX is strange, you need lots if free space to delete files, you need more free space for more memory, you need more free space even for a larger hard drive!
    That should be enough though.
    Go to the Users folder and do a Get info on her folder, what size is it?
    Maybe try deleting her Documents folder ther instead of in her account, does that work?

  • ITunes 11 deletes newly added m4v and mp4 video files!

    I'm really loathing the new iTunes for a number of reasons.. but this one really takes the cake!
    When I try to add an M4V or MP4 video file, iTunes deletes the file and does not add it to the library!
    I never had any issues with 10.7.. and seeing as there is no way of reverting back that I can find.. any help in how to solve this... or is this one of those wonder new "feature's" I now have to contend with?
    Thanks

    Are you frustrated that whether you drag and drop your video files to iTunes 11, or add video files from “Add files to Libray” or “Add folder to Libray”, nothing is imported even though the files are in iTunes 11 supported MP4, MOV or M4V video format.
    If iTunes 11 won’t import MP4, MOV or M4V, first make sure your install QuickTime Player. Even though you hire VLC or Perian or any other media player to take care of your video playback instead of QuickTime, you still need to install QuickTime in order to add video to iTunes 11 for transfer to iPad, iPod, iPhone or Apple TV.
    f you install QuickTime player but still can’t add MP4, MOV, M4V to iTunes 11, there is no other solution but to convert MP4, MOV, M4V to iTunes 11 supported video MP4.
    Visit the Step-by-Step Guide on how to successfully import all kinds of MP4, MOV, M4V to iTunes 11
    The guide also applies to import AVI, WMV, MKV, etc to iTunes 11.

  • Exporting and Importing WAV files

    I have some tunes from beatport in WAV format. Will the 'tags' / song information disappear if I were to transfer them to another Mac? Any way to transfer them without losing the song information?
    Keying in all the song information again would be a nightmare ...

    Thanks for the quick reponse
    "On the new machine you may convert them back to WAV if you wish, or keep them in ALAC, which is sonically equivalent to WAV."
    Would that mean I have to key in the information again in iTunes?
    You will not have to re-key. When you convert from WAV to ALAC on the current machine, iTunes will write the info to the tags of the ALAC. When you move the ALAC file, the info will move with the file. When you convert from ALAC to WAV on the new machine, iTunes will copy the info from the tags to the library.
    Try it with one file so you can see how it works. (If you don't have the second computer handy to experiment with, move the ALAC out of your iTunes library, and then add it back in.)

  • Reading and saving wave files as .txt

    I am a highschool senior working on a musical analysis problem. I am afraid my Java isn't all that great. The nitty-gritty is I need a squential representation of the ampiltudes of a sound file( .wav of course) at the frequency at which is was recorded. If I am not mistaken the advantage of the wave format is that it is just that a list of integers corresponding to the ampiltude of the sound file at the recording frequency. So my job is read the array of bytes in the sound file and write them to a .txt file so that I can run other programs which I have already gotten.
    I am currently trying to work with the Javax.sound.sampled API.
    My code sorta goes like this:
    public class analyse
    public analyse()
    AudioInputStream stream = AudioSystem.getAudioInputStream(new File("audiofile"));
    DataLine.Info info = new DataLine.Info(Clip.class, stream.getFormat(), ((int)stream.getFrameLength()*format.getFrameSize()));
    Clip clip = (Clip) AudioSystem.getLine(info);
    WriteArray();
    readArray();
    line.drain().stop();
    public writeArray() {
    int numRead = 0;
    byte[] buf = new byte[line.getBufferSize()];
    while ((numRead = stream.read(buf, 0, buf.length)) >= 0) {
    int offset = 0;
    while (offset < numRead) {
    offset += line.write(buf, offset, numRead-offset);
    I had a friend suggest something like that and That wa just the bare bones of the program. readArray() would of course take the array and, using an iterator, write it to a text file.
    However, I've also come across this code while looking thru the API
    AudioInputStream stream = AudioSystem.getAudioInputStream(new File("audiofile"));
    stream.read(byte[] b, int 0, int stream.frameLength()*stream.frameSize());
    this I actually understand better, but I cannot get it to work.
    If anyone could help me with this, I would sorely appreciate it.

    Do you have QuickTime Pro? What "audio file" types are you referring to - MP3, WAV?

  • Accidentally deleted all my applications and associated files using App Cleaner and when I put them all back in to Applications none of them work now

    Hi last night I stupidly downloaded App Cleaner and deleted all my applications and their associated files. Because I panicked I wasn't able to use the "put back" so I just dragged everything back in to Applications. Now none of the applications will work as some of the associated files aren't in the correct location and some of the files aren't even applications. i did not back up my system with Time Machine (lesson learnt). Please please can someone help me, I know that Mac's don't have a roll back like PC's

    They do. It's called Time Machine.
    You need to reinstall all of your Apps. That should replace all of the support files you nuked.

  • How to retrieve original RAW image after cropping and opening RAW file?

    Hi
    I have a Canon EOS 350D camera and now have PSE 9.  I have taken some RAW images & imported them into PSE 9 OK.  I know the original RAW image is retained after editing.  However, after cropping a RAW image in the Editor and then "Opening" and "Saving as" a PSD or JPEG, I then close the image in Editor and the cropped image appears in the Organiser.  That is as it should be, I think.  If I then wish to start again from scratch on the original RAW image, it seems to me that I have to manually delete the edited version and the .xmp file in Windows Explorer, and then double click the original RAW file in Windows Explorer, which then opens correctly in PSE 9 Editor.  Can this be done from PSE 9?

    When you open the original camera raw image, go to the flyout menu
    and choose Camera Raw Defaults, that resets everything but the crop, straighten,
    and rotatate settings.
    To get rid of the crop and/or straighten settings, click and hold on the crop tool and choose Clear Crop.
    To reset the Image rotation settings, you have manually rotate back using the image rotate buttons.

  • Refresh Data in an Excel Workbook from another Excel file

    I have an Excel file that I need to use as a data source for a report that is generated from another Excel Workbook that I am using PowerPivot and PowerPivot with.
    I make the connections and everything works fine, but the schedule to refresh doesn't work.  I found the below, and another Excel file isn't listed as a data source that is can automatically refresh from.  Doesn't that seem like an obvious miss?
    Report data in an Excel workbook can come from many external data sources. You can schedule automatic data refreshes for these external sources:
    •Power BI Cloud Service
    *       Microsoft Azure SQL Database
    *       SQL Server in Microsoft Azure Virtual Machines
    *       OData
    *       Basic authentication
    *       Anonymous authentication
    *       SP Lists
    *       ProjectOnline feeds
    •On-premises
    *       SQL Server 2005 and above
    *       Oracle 10g, 11g and 11gR2
    A workbook accesses external data through an embedded connection string or URL you specify when you import the original data into the workbook. Data refresh reuses the original connection information stored in the workbook.
    A workbook can have only one data refresh schedule. Typically, if you create the workbook you define the schedule.

    Thanks,

    It seems apart from mentioned sources no other source is supported, even I tried refreshing model having excel as source.
