My photo booth won't close down -

i am trying to close down programs but the photo booth won't close i've tried apple Q but the little rainbow circle keeps spinning.. help!

I'm no expert but try and click on the desktop behind the iPhoto window so that it says "Finder" in the upper left. Once you get that screen, the color wheel should go away. Click on the Apple and select - Force Quit. Select iPhoto from the list and it will force it to close.

  • Photo booth won't take any photos

    Photo booth won't take any photos or videos, it opens fine but when I click on the button nothing happens, no error message or nothing. I have updated Mavericks twice to solve the problem, but no joy, I can use Photo booth in the guest user no problem but not as the Administrator, what is it looking for? Is there is a permissions problem?

    it's just happened to me too! any chance you've sorted it out? maybe you can let us know how you did it?! no one seems to be responding!

  • Photo booth won't open

    i dont know if im in the right place to be asking this question but it's related more to what i need to ask then the other choices.
    whenever i try to open photo booth i get a message saying:
    "Photo booth cannot open because no camera is attached or the camera is in use by another application.
    Make sure your digital video camera is properly attached and turned on. If you are using the camera with another application, close that application before trying to open Photo Booth again."
    my camera is built into the computer (i have an imac intel duo core) and there are no other applications open when i try to get into it. please can someone help me.

  • My iSight light is permanently on - but photo booth won't work??

    Just got my macbook, and since I turned it on the isight light has been on. Then I tried to open photo booth but the screen is blank and its capable of taking the picture but there is no image. Anyone know what is wrong with my isight camera or what I can do to fix it? the light is on but its not taking pictures what is wrong with it?

    Well, I don't have quite the same problem, but I may be able to help. What happens to me is that I sometimes turn my Macbook on, then my light will pop up at boot up. To fix this, I usually just shut down, and reboot. However, it always comes back.
    To help you, this is what I think you should do. Power down the Macbook, and unplug any power supply to it. Take out the battery and hold down the power button for 5 seconds (I usually hold it in longer just to make sure). This fixed my problem for about... 4/5 days. But it always just comes back.
    I'm praying Apple is working on this somehow... but with the arrival of the new Macbooks, I'm worried we all might be out in the rain with this one, because a lot of apple users are having this problem.
    I hope the battery trick works for ya though! If not, you may need to take it in. Good luck!

  • HT1338 Unable to shut down - won't close down system preferences

    Unable to shut down - won't allow me to close down system preferences

    Hello jdreed3,
    The error message you are receiving is usually because of a failing hard drive. Can you go into the BIOS and run hard drive tests?
    Here is a similar thread in regards to the same issue where the user discovered it was indeed the hard drive that has fried that has been giving him the issues.

  • IPhoto 5 won't close down

    I haven't had any trouble with iPhoto 5 until this week. Now the program refused to close down normally and even Force Quit is sometimes not able to do the job. Also, when editing photos, the Saving Changes bar comes on with its buddy, the spinning beachball and nothing happens. Force Close is then used. I have Repaired Permissions a couple of times, but no change. I have checked for software updates, but all is current.
    I have AppleCare as a backup but wanted to canvass the community first.

    Try rebuilding your iPhoto library. This is undocumented, but when starting up iPhoto hold down CMD-OPTION (i.e. ⌘⌥). When the dialog box comes up, select the option to rebuild your entire database; it's fast and safe.

  • Reader won't close down, running high CPU

    Hello, I've recently updated to the Reader XI thinking that it may solve my problem, but it was happening with the previous version also.  After viewing pdf files and closing the files, Reader still continues to run in the background.  CPU usage runs at 50% and if I've open multiple files, CPU usage runs up to 100%.  My computer is slow, lags, gets hot and the fan continues to run.  The only way I can seem to close the program is through the task manager.  The application shows as AcroRd32.exe*32.  When I stop the application, my system resumes to normal and the fan stops once the computer has cooled down.  Can anyone help with a solution?  I'm also running Windows 7.  Thank you kindly.

    I'm having the exact same problem as cmmcaw above -- and yes, I'm running Windows 7, too (and it's completely updated).  A few days ago, my computer slowed down to a crawl, the fan was running full blast, and the machine was getting hot.  The next time my computer was on, I scanned my system thoroughly, and there was no sign of malware.  The next time my computer's fan started churning, I opened up Task Manager and discovered that Adobe Reader X was not shutting down (and yes, my CPU was running at 100%).  I have now installed Adobe Reader XI in the hopes of fixing the problem.  It appears to work all right when I'm in my Administrator account, but when I'm in my User account, I encounter the same problem that I had with Adobe Reader X -- Adobe Reader just does not shut down properly.  Reader XI opens up just fine, and then it appears to close, but in reality Reader is actually running in the background, trying to fully close down.   
    In order to solve the problem, I tried to download the .zip file you suggested above, but it won't download (and that's on my Admin. account).  Adobe encounters some sort of error (it won't say what kind).  I tried downloading the file with my virus scanner turned off, but still no go.  Cleaned cookies, ensured they were enabled -- still no go.
    So, why does Adobe XI seem to work okay on my Administrator account, but refuse to shut down properly on my User account?  And how do I fix this problem?  I mean, I can alway just shut it down fully through Task Manager, but it's not supposed to work that way. 

  • Labview won't close down properly after installing Service Pack 2

    Hi,
    We installed Service Pack 2 for Windows XP recently and ever since, I've had trouble closing down Labview. I'm using Labview 6.1 and whenever I try to close it down, it won't fully close down and I have to use Task Manager to shut it down.
    What happens is that I get a minimised window on the bottom of the screen that won't go away.
    Has anybody seen this before and can anybody help.
    Thanks,
    Kenneth

    In my experience, SP2 for XP introduced a whole lot of bugs and mishaps. You would be better off uninstalling SP2 if you can. If you want to keep SP2, you may have to uninstall Labview, then re-install it.
    I personally can't confirm this statement. I have XP SP2 with the latest patches applied and I have not really problems with LabVIEW 6.0, 6.1, 7.0, and 7.1. Only NI-Max likes to crash sometimes but since it is a notebook I have little reason to run NI-Max until now.

    I got this same message from having installed Leopard (10.5)
    and then because the "great Check Point VPN" software doesn't support Leopard I reinstalled Tiger (10.4) from supplied CD's
    Yes, photo booth left on my machine was version 2.0.1
    and will NOT run under Tiger
    1) first, using Finder, locate your "photo booth" and rename it [or delete it]
    2) using Os X tiger cd 1 find the "Install Bundled software only" icon
    3) Pick "custom install", then expand the "Bundled Applications" until you see Photo Booth
    4) click ALL of them off, except leave Photo Booth flagged [when I pick it, office 2004 TEST drive turns on too, unflag that too]
    5) Press the Upgrade button [don't select easy install, as that will install EVERYTHING]
    6) Photo Booth shows in your Dock and it works

  • Photo booth freezes and closes

    Every time i open photo booth it just freezes, it doesn't do nothing for 3-4 seconds. Then it force quits.
    Is there any way to fix it? :/
    The camera is responsive because it works with Skype and iChat.

    Repair permissions & restart. If that does not work, then I suggest that you cross-post over in the iSight Forums where the Photo Booth users hang out.
    Which OS version do you have? Your first post states 10.5.4 but, your second post shows 10.5.1!

  • Photo Booth won't load after upgrade to Leopard

    I just upgraded 4.5 year old iMac from Tiger (10.4x) to Leopard (10.5.8) and now Photo Booth (v.2.0.3) doesn't load. Any suggestions?

    Hi BDAqua- Just tried your suggestion and got nothing while launching Photo Booth, but there were messages from earlier attempts. I'm going to attach a screen capture here of Console to see if you can understand them.
    To give you a little more info, The Photo Booth screen appears on my daughter's iMac, but she just gets the spinning beach ball so we force quit.
