Photo Booth and Logitech Vision Pro

Hi there
I bought a Logitech Vision Pro Quick Cam since it is said to be compatible with OS X.
It works fine on my mac with Skype, but both Photo Booth and iMovie won't recognize the camera.
iChat on the other hand will work. I contacted Logitech and they were of no help.
All they said was that since they don't program the drivers, it's not their fault (the camera is working with Skype).
Any suggestions how to get Photo Booth (and iMovie) to recognize my Vision Pro?
Thanks
Mat

Hummm,
Lid closed => gives external cameras only does seem sensible.
If open => All cameras in iChat (And whichever was or was not plugged in for Photo Booth) However this only applies to Photo Booth if Started after the camera is Plugged in.
Certainly the last applies to Firewire cameras.
Currently I have a problem with Photo Booth on my MacBook Pro which I have only just discovered trying to replicate this.
The Camera is defaulting to only the Internal iSight and also not displaying properly. (it works in iChat)
IF you are going to have the Lid closed why do you want the iSight to be used ?
I can understand that the closed Lid will disable the iSight and therefore change your Settings
Does it in fact revert when the iSight can be used again ?
I can only see that this is likely to be only done when the Lid is Open.

Photo Booth and Logitech QuickCam Pro 9000

I had this working in Tiger 10.4.10 and I can get the camera to do video in iChat but not in photo booth (or iMovie). It just says camera off.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks,
Jon

I have a similar problem with my Creative Live! Video IM Pro. (VF0410). It is a UVC camera, and it works in iChat, but displays a very messed up image in Photo Booth and QuickTime Pro. This is on my PowerMac G4, running 10.5 (I just bought the camera, so I never tested it under Tiger)

Logitech Vision Pro Webcam not working fine

Hi,
I put my new Logitech Vision Pro Webcam (for mac) on my MacMini via USB... connected, recognized, fine... But...
Photo Booth and also other Programs like "Iris" loose the picture and don´t show it as usable after a while... For example at PhotoBooth, when I made some photos, deleted some snapshots and want to make new photos...picture frozen...:-(... Just a restart of the Mac helps...for a short time...
It´s under SnowLeopard...., actual version... Anyone an idea

How do I delete photo booth from my macbook pro?

I'm deleting some unneeded applications from my new Macbook Pro. I have been successful with most and all of them that are not required as part of the OS system. However, there are other apps that are more difficult to remove as I was able to go into Utilities and Terminal and type in some other specific applications that I wanted to remove (like Stickies, Chess, etc.). However, one I am having trouble deleting is Photo Booth. I also want to disable the webcam so I cannot even activate it by mistake. Can someone tell me how to do that?
I was successful in removing all of the icons other than Finder, Safari and Trash from the bottom of my screen now that I have deleted everything else and it is much cleaner.
Thank you!

Here's an app that supposedly will disable your isight. Says it works in Lion, maybe it will work in ML too: Download iSight Disabler for Mac - Quickly turn on/off your USB iSight. MacUpdate.comhttps://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/23346/isight-disabler
Here's a thread with several possible solutions for disabling the isight: Is there a way to turn off and On the...: Apple Support Communities
And here is a page with a Terminal command for deleting Photo Booth: How to Delete Safari, Mail, FaceTime, Photo Booth, and Other Default Mac OS X Apps
As a general rule, however, removing system software is a bad idea.
If you're really paranoid about the camera, then a little piece of tape over the lens would do the trick!

Phonebooth is in your home folder under pictures with Iphoto and Ichat. Deleting pigtures from phonebooth should not remove any from Iphoto library. Something else had to happen.

I have recently updated my macs software then been onto Photo Booth and realised that all of my pictures/videos have been deleted and are not in iPhoto? Im not sure where they have all gone?

PLEASE HELP

Photobooth and iPhoto are two quite different apps with no connection between them. I'd try the Using Mac OS X forum for whatever version of the OS you have.

Photo Booth and a few Browsers wont open

A few days ago i changed my home screen,I moved everything from the Old Home to the new, Then Logged out of the Old and Into the New and deleted the Old. Then I had to repair permissions and then go to Get Info and Unlock permissions on almost everything (Change to read and Write), Then i discovered Photo Booth and a few Browsers wouldnt open. So i did a repair permissions again, Then it still wouldnt work so i re-installed the OS which is Snow Leopard (July 2006 Mac Mini Core Duo) and im STILL haveing the problem.......The Browsers are saying "Your Firefox profile cannot be loaded. It may be missing or inaccessible" Other browsers reaing the same, but NO PROBLEM with Safari and OmniWeb will open but wont remember Bookmarks............What do i do Next? thanks in advance

i dont remember doing that, but wouldn't re-installing the OS fix that ? i re-Installed the OS yesterday, And i went into repair permissions in disk utility right before that. I have also gone into get info and made sure everything is read and write...what else is left that i can do ?

Low sound levels in Photo Booth and Imovie

I am a new Mac user and I am trying to record a short video to email using the built-in Isight camera. I have tried to use Photo Booth and Imovie and both of them produce videos with very, very low sound levels. You can barely hear it even when turned up to the max. I have checked the Sound preferences, and it is set to the built-in microphone, about mid-level. I've tried cranking it up to the max and with and without Use ambient noise reduction checked. It has no effect. How do I get a decent sound level? It is unusable at this point. I've updated my Software and repaired permissions, and still no luck. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Thanks for the response. I checked my midi audio settings and they are at the suggested rate. I called up an Apple support tech, and after trying a few things he basically said the internal mics are junk and go buy an external one. In the mean time, I've cranked up the sound levels to max, so I can hear it a little, but there is a ton of background hiss. I've done a web search and several people have reported this problem. so I think it might be something besides junk mics. Why do they install them if they are completely unusable? Thanks again. I'll try trashing the sound pref's too.

It's Almost 2011- According to Photo Booth and iStat!

Sparking from a post on TUAW.
http://www.tuaw.com/2009/12/29/beware-photo-booth-time-stamps-its-a-bug-not-a-fe ature/
Photo Booth is acting a bit weird when naming files. For example, I took a photo a few minutes ago, and the resulting file is named +Photo on 2010-12-29 at 16.25+. It should be +Photo on 2009-12-29 at 16.25+.
The iStat calendar is also displaying a 2010 bug. For instance, it says today is Tuesday, December 29, 2009 (which is correct), but shows a calendar titled "December 2010" (wrong) where the first day of the month is on Tuesday (correct for 2009).
Interestingly, when I went to take a screenshot of the iStat calendar, the file was named +Screen shot 2009-12-29 at 16.28.12+

My problem is a little different. I just took a couple of pictures with Photo Booth and it has the date almost correct.
The day, month and time are fine, but the year is still 2009?
Anyone else report this? I pinged Twitter and it seems that a few others have the same issue.
Interesting that in late December, the files were future dated, and in early January, they're back dated.
Cheers,
David.

ISight crashes both Photo booth and iChat

Hello,
My iSight camera seems to be causing issues with Photo Booth and iChat. Both these problems emerged at the same time, so I believe that they're related.
iChat will login properly, but when I try to initiate video chat, the green iSight camera turns on... but promptly crashes iChat.
Photo booth ostensibly works fine in terms of taking regular photos and video recording, but none of the effects work; they appear as black screens. When you try and click on the effects, Photo booth crashes.
My computer otherwise recognizes the camera in System Profiler. I can also use the camera in GChat, via Gmail.
Any ideas on what's wrong?

Welcome to Discussions, bigtsez
The PMU reset suggested in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2090 usually helps such problems for MacBooks.
If not, repair permissions and apply the 10.5.7 COMBO update:
http://support.apple.com/downloads/MacOS_X_10_5_7_ComboUpdate
Repair permissions IMMEDIATELY again after the restart that finishes the installation.
Then test iSight again. Repeat the Troubleshooting suggestions if necessary.

Photo Booth and Stickies?

I just updated to the Snow Leopard and now my Photo Booth and Stickies say that I can't use their version with this update. I've gone searching in the App store and looked around on the Apple site and can't seem to find the updates for these 2 programs.Help!

Both Applications come with SL, there shouldbe no need to do anything. Something went wrong.
Run the 10.6.8 Combo Update. This is a fuller install, as opposed to an incremental "delta" update so it should overwrite any files that are damaged or missing. It does not matter if you have applied it before.
Remember to Verify Disk before update and repair permissions after update from /Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility.
EDIT: If you moved any applications out of your /Applications folder to another location, or put them in an enclosing folder within /Applications this can cause problems on updates.

I can take video made in Photo Booth and use in my Smilebox greetings and I can use photos from iPhoto to use there also. I have not been able to figure out how to take clips from iMovie for that.

For anyone who has used "Smilebox" for greeting cards: I can take video made in Photo Booth and use in my Smilebox greetings and I can use photos from iPhoto to use there also. I have not been able to figure out how to take clips from iMovie for use with Smilebox.

Isight is not working on ichat and skype, however will work on photo booth and imovie.

My isight will not work on ichat or skype, saying that there is no camera connected. isight will work in photo booth and imovie. It shows up in the system profiler. Have tried resetting SMC. Help?

(1) Here is how I would proceed to isolate the underlying problem that requires corrective action.
• Shut down everything.
• Then restart modem and allow its self-test to complete.
• Then restart router or wireless access point (if you have them) and allow self-test to complete.
• Then restart Mac.
• Use  > Software Update... (Update your Apple software if not current.)
• Then test Photo Booth or iMovie with no other apps else running to ensure they still work.
• Then quit your test app and try iChat with no other apps else running.
• If iChat works, quit iChat and try Skype with no other apps else running.
(2) If iChat works but Skype does not,
• Verify that you are using the latest version of Skype that is compatible with your OS X (10.5.8) Mac.
• Update if necessary.
• Then test Skype again with no other apps else running.
• If Skype problems remain but your camera works with everything else, Skype's comprehensive support system should best be able to help you use their product with your system.
Start here: https://support.skype.com/
Or, click this link for help specifically related to Mac video calls.
You can also search or post for help with your problem in Skype's dedicated Skype Discussions for Mac. The Skype users who post there may have already solved the same problem.
If nothing else works, you can even sign in and ask for email help directly from Skype's Technical Support people.
(3) If you still have trouble with more than one app, you may need to use Disk Utility to:
• repair permissions,
• repair your disk,
• or even reinstall Mac OS.
If you reinstall OS X 10.5, use the Mac OS X 10.5.8 Combo Update to return to the latest version in one update step.
