Photo Booth Camera Icon Crossed Out

I have one of the most recent MacBooks. All of a sudden Photo Booth isn't working. There's a crossed out camera icon and I can't take pictures. How do I get it back?

First thing to do is reset PRAM
■ Shut down your computer. Turn the computer back on and immediately hold down Command-Option-P-R, continuing to press until you hear the startup sound for the second time. This resets the computer’s parameter random-access memory (PRAM).
IMPORTANT: Resetting PRAM may change some system settings and preferences. Use System Preferences to restore your settings.

  • Why is the camera icon grayed out in the text message screen so that I cannot text a picture on my iPhone 5?

    Why is the camera icon grayed out in the text message screen so that I cannot text a picture on my iPhone 5? I have an unlocked TMobile phone. My husband has the same phone, plan, and set up; his picture messages work fine.

    Check this it maybe the problem
    Settings > Messages > MMS Messaging > is it on?

    Make sure that MMS is turned on in settings and your account with the carrier is provisioned for MMS. If it is, then try a reset on the iPhone. Hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. That will restart the phone. See if it is there after that.

    I am not sure but unless the item is not phrased as a question, or does not have question in the Content it doesn not become active. I have seen this several times.  And its always appeared for me when the person was just declaring a statement. and not asking anything.

  • Photo Booth camera unavailable?

    I recently wiped my mac and photo booth no longer works. The application comes up but the loading symbol just goes round and round for hours and nothing happens, even the little green light doesn't come on. At the top of the mac screen in photo booth>camera section it says 'no camera available' but when i open my FaceTime the light comes on and camera works. How can i fix my photo booth??

    Make sure FaceTime and any other camera applications are not running.  Try booting in safe mode to see if Photo Booth works.  If it does not, you may need to reset the SMC (if the machine is older than 4 years), or reset the PRAM (if it is younger than 4 years).

  • Face time, camera icons wiped out of my ipad. I was watching while it was happening

    Face time, camera icons wiped out of my ipad. I was watching while it was happening..

    That's hard to explain but I would check Settings>General>Restrictions>FaceTime (and camera) and see if they are set to "off". If they are set to off, turn them on again.

  • Purchased Apps Icon Crossed Out

    I recently had to restore Mountain Lion OS from the recovery partition.
    Now some of the apps that I purchased from the App store, such as Aperture, have a crossed out icon. When I go to the App Store application and select "Purchases" it shows Aperture as installed yet I can not launch Aperture. The icon for the Aperture app is crossed out. The App store will not let me reinstall it.
    I used the Disk Utility to repair permissions but the icon is still crossed out and the app does not launch.
    Some other programs such as iMovie and Garageband also had their icons crossed out but I was able to reinstall them through the App Store.
    How can I get Aperture back?

    That means that you have Aperture on the hard drive. If you have an external drive connected, disconnect it. Then, check where Aperture could be. To do it, press Command and Space keys, and type "Aperture" in the Spotlight popup, so it will search Aperture on the hard disk. If it finds the the folder, hold Option and Command keys, so the location will show up below the preview. Just go to that folder and delete Aperture.
    Finally, open App Store > Purchases and install Aperture

    Welcome to Discussions, howvogue
    If resetting your SMC ( http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1411 ) does not help, try the following in the order below:
    (1) If you "deleted" by dragging things to trash on your own, the first thing I suggest you try is to see if customer support or the documentation for the non-Apple Software you installed has an actual uninstaller or specific uninstall instructions. If it does, you may need to reinstall the software in order to allow the uninstaller to work properly. After you have carefully followed the uninstall instructions, restart your Mac, use Disk Utilities to repair permissions, and test to see if your problem is solved.
    (2) If not, or if you can find NO help on how to properly uninstall the software that caused your problem, restore your Mac's hard disk from the backup that you made immediately before installing "hellokitty digi cam."
    (3) If you do not already have such a backup, backup all your MacBook's (MB's) important info now, erase your MB's hard disk, and reinstall its OS and applications software. Then, restore your data from your backup.
    The last option will be a lot of work, but it should get rid of your MB's cat allergy.
    Please let us know how it goes and what works. We will watch for your status update.

  • Photo booth camera not conected

    I keep getting "camera disconected " in photo booth i leave the computer in sleep mode most of the time.I have to restart, for the camera to work again then it disconects itself when photo booth has not been used for a while ?

    Any other camera applications such as iChat open?  I think the camera is attached to the USB bus, do you have any non-Apple devices connected to the USB bus that may not like the power drain of Energy Saver after it turns on (i.e. the machine goes to sleep)?  This can cause cascading issues down the whole USB bus.

  • Photo Booth Camera Resolution after taking photo

    Sometimes after I take a photo using photo booth that has an effect like the roller coaster, the image being displayed from the camera has an awful red tinge to it. I have to shut down photo booth and start it back up again to get the image it is capturing to be acceptable. I thought it might be my imac (brand new) so I went back to a apple store and tried it on one of theirs and got the same problem. Any ideas??

  • Photo Booth camera light

    Approximately one in ten times that I turn on my new MacBook, the green camera light is on. If I open Photo Booth the camera screen is green. I then turn off the computer and re-start. Sometimes that solves the problem. Sometimes the light is still on. I then unplug the power cord, remove the battery, then replace the battery. After I restart, the light is off, and Photo Booth works.
    For $2000, this ought not to happen.

    matthewjp,
    What programs do you have running on startup?
    Are there any that might be accessing the hardware such as emulators, video editors, or photo capture software?

  • Photo Booth Camera Distortion

    When in photo Booth on my Mini, my camera (Creative Live! Cam Optia Pro) takes photos like this ::
    When I open the iChat camera viewer and take profile pictures and any other picture taking time I have experienced, the camera is fine. I have reinstalled Leopard and still the same problem.

    I have the exact same problem. Interestingly enough Photobooth 1.2 shows the proper video, however won't save any pictures (probably because I downloaded the Photo Booth 1.2 app and didn't do a proper install). I bought this camera for ichat and photobooth support....any options? Is there any way to get a proper install of 1.2 such that at least something works?!!?!

  • Photo booth - camera used by another application

    Photo Booth suddenly gives the message that it is in use by another application - I have never used it in any other application nor is any other application running - using "user friendly" language, please tell me how to get this running again. The only new application I have installed is the program for my broadband connection (Verizon) - I don't know if the problem started at this time since I had not used it around that time. If this caused it, how to I get it to work again?

  • Pencil icon crossed out

    Hi I am trying to ftp using go>connect to server. I can access the server but it won't allow me to do anything else.
    There is a pencil in the bottom right hand corner crossed out, does this have anything to do with it?
    Cheers
    Alison.

    Well that is really weird because a few days before it allowed me to upload 2 files. It was only when I tried to delete them that I noticed it wouldn't allow me to and also would no longer allow me to upload files either.
    Mmm strange. Obviously something has changed but I don't know what.
