Photo Booth Black Screen

Hey guys, my photo booth preview screen started to show a black screen and when I try to take a picture, it counts down and my preview screen starts to show normally. So I can take picture normally. When I delete the Recent.plist file everything works fine but I don't want to lose the pictures in the strip. I tried to resetting SMC but no difference.

  • Photo Booth~ Black Screen, Faulty/Broken/Missing Effects

    Hi
    Photo Booth was working fine when first use with new computer.
    Now, when opened the [internal] iSight camera switches on (little green light) and the main image screen is black. Any photos that are taken appear as black. When selecting Effects Button 1, the effects display, but not correctly - they all use 25% of the space they are supposed to use and in Effects Button 2 - no effects show whatsoever.
    I have tried deleting the plist. It is a system wide problem - all users have same difficulty.
    Thanks in advance.

  • N8: photo browser black screen

    Sometimes (randomly), when zooming photos, it shows only a black screen (first the blurry image is shown, but after time needed to fully load photo became black); if I double-tap againg, it revert correctly to zoomed-out image (so just fully decoding in memory fails).
    Anyone encounter that? Any workaround?
    For example, if I run options->edit and come back, zooming works (usually).

    It's happened on mine a few times and a simple reboot solves the issue for while. Long press the power button until you feel 3 quick vibrations. Hasn't happened for a few months on mine so I assume it's a random thing.

  • IChat/Photo Booth "Green Screen" Effects not entirely working.

    They kind of work, but it looks like I have lots of holes in me, and the background has some holes in it too.
    Anyone else having this problem?

    My Photo Booth effects all suck big time. In well lit areas wearing colors with a different color background, no matter what effect I use, all look horrible. I've tried all white background with dark clothing and vice versa with 100% crappy results. No other apps running. I have a MacBook Pro 2.3GHz Core 2 Duo with 3 GB RAM. Everything else runs fantastic. Photo Booth *****. I've tried it with several friends over iChat Video and it's not viewable at all. Been thru a dozen different lighting scenarios and as many clothing changes, nothing seems to help.
    Anyone have any other suggestions ?

  • Why is my Photo Booth screen green ?

    When I turn on photo booth, the screen is green. When I take a picture, it remains green. Can anyone help me with this ?

    Hello TOM251
    A search of iSight Discussions for "green" (without the quotation marks) returns several topics on your problem.
    Here are some suggestions that worked for several other iNtel Mac users:
    First, check the settings mentioned in Apple iMac G5 (iSight): Built-in iSight ... blue or green pictures.
    You can also try Apple's suggestions re: Built-in iSight from How to Troubleshoot iSight.
    If the reset and other Troubleshooting suggestions do not correct your problem, you can try the following:- Backup your Home Folder, or at very least, your important files.
    - Repair permissions.
    - Then download and apply the Mac OS X 10.4.9 Combo Update (iNtel).
    - Finish with another Permissions Repair, and then check your iSight again.Please let us know if one of these helps.

    Sometimes when I open Photo Booth, the green light for my webcame turns on but the preview screen is just black. And when I take the pic, its all black.

  • Photo Booth became black screen after Newpad updated to iOS 7

    Photo booth became black screen after Newpad updated to iOS 7

    It is not a widespread issue that requires apple to come out with a fix, I have many ipads that were updated and have no issues.
    I would suggest you back-up and restore your device, that can repair many issues if the original update was corrupted.

  • Photo Booth has a black screen!!

    Every time i go onto my Photo Booth it just comes up with a black screen and the clock constantly. I've tried restarting my computer etc. but it does nothing. I was thinking of taking it in to be fixed however I realised that my Face Time, Skype etc. still work as well??? Help!!!!

    Howdy livmp,
    It sounds like you are trying to use PhotoBoot on your computer but the camera doesn't seem to be showing anything at all. I'd recommend you reset your SMC, then your PRAM in that order with these articles and then test it out again:
    Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC) on your Mac
    and 
    OS X Yosemite: Reset your computer’s PRAM
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Take care,
    Sterling

  • Photobooth & iPhoto show black screen where photos should be??

    My iPhoto shows a black screen whenever I click on a picture. I can't see the photo when I want to edit it and it does not let me enlarge any of the pictures.
    Also, my Photo Booth shows a black screen where its supposed to show the webcam picture. If I click on the white space where the thumbnails of previous pictures are supposed to show up, it pops up a different screen with the pictures already taken. But, I still cannot see the webcam picture.
    If anybody could help solve this problem, I would greatly appreciate it.
    Thanks!!

    You may have some damaged software. 
    If the problems are the same after restarting your Mac, reinstall Mac OS X 10.9.
