Photo Booth doesn't recognize logitech camera

I have a logitech camera, it works with Skype, iChat and is recognized by Photo Booth but the screen (photo booth screen) is black. If I take a picture, it counts down but then nothing. The camera works in all other apps. If I remove my Elgato Hybrid, then it works...nothing else I have tried, helps. Any suggestions?

I downgraded the photo booth app using pacifist to an older version and it now works fine after experiencing the same issues you report.
This was on a G4 MDD upgraded to 10.5.8. I installed Photo BOoth 1.0 and now works fine. 10.5.8 Photo Booth version is 2.0.3.

Why Photoshop doesn't recognize the Camera Raw modifications ?

Dear all
I'have passed to Yosemite few day ago reinstalling all the CS6 suite, but now when I open an elaborated photo from Camera Raw to Photoshop, I can't see any modifications: it's seems that Photoshop doesn't recognize the Camera Raw modifications.
Someone could help me ?

Couple of things:
1. That's not what Photoshop does. It's not an image manager, it's a file editor. So, you can set Photoshop to start when you connect your camera but it will stat and nothing will happen.
2. You need to decide how you want to manage your photos. You can do this with iPhoto, the Finder or something else. Which ever you decide let us know and we can help you set that up.

No reason it should have stopped working. Maybe a problem waiting to happen and an upgrade pushed it over the edge. Provide some specs on your Mac, but I would really advise making an appointment at the Genius Bar at your local Apple Store.
Good Luck

Help! iPhoto doesn't recognize my camera anymore

My Pentax Optio S4 has worked great for the last couple of years - when I plugged in the USB cable, iPhoto opened and all went well. Now all of a sudden nothing happens, and iPhoto doesn't recognize the camera and neither does Image Capture. Did I inadvertantly DO something, or does anybody know what happened and how to get my seamless importing back?
iBook G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Move the "com.apple.iPhoto.plist" and the "com.apple.ImageCaptureApp.plist" files from your user's "Library >Preferences" folder to the trash and reset the Image Capture preferences to recognize your camera.

Photo Booth doesn't play videos anymore

Hi all
Today I realized that, on my iMac Core Duo, Photo Booth doesn't play videos it record ( I saw the thumbnails but screen remains black when I select one) while they can be played by any other player on the computer, and from iphoto and imovie as well if I export them, all after the Mountain Lion update.
The issue doesn't occur with my MacBook Pro i7, with approximately same software installed but I can't find a solution anyway.
Can you help me please? I'm a huge fan of Photo Booth
Thank you

Hello volkerfromessen and everyone else
now i have problems with the drag and drop background effect. i can't drop images there anymore. : / haven't found any thread on here talking about this issue.
i'm afraid such issues on photobooth will become more often with time. i'm kind of hopeless that apple will fix it soon.
i haven't had any problem with Lion. but Mountain Lion has been a pain in the ***!

Photo Booth doesn't work, what did I do wrong?

I just got a new iSight, and in the very beginning everything worked properly, including the camera and the front row remote control. However, after I have installed few softwares I need to use (Backup 3, Microsoft Office, and the wireless Logitech keyboard and mouse, the Photo Booth would not open any more and gives me the following warning: "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." The remote doesn't work either. Could anyone help with the idea what it might be? Thanks a lot as always.

The issue has been solved thanks to the great guys on the Support Web Chat, they lead me through the resseting PRAM and NVRAM, and now everything works just fine.
Cheers to all.

IPhoto doesn't recognize my camera

I have a Canon PowerShot A3100IS
iPhoto v9.2.3
Mac 10.6.8
When I plug my camera into the USB and turn the camera on, nothing happens. The settings are set to open iPhoto when the camera is plugged in, and image capture settings were in place. The computer doesn't even recognize the camera to be honest. I don't know if it is a Mac issue or an iPhoto issue.

I have almost the same problem. Sometimes it recognizes my camera, sometimes it doesn't. Oddly, connecting the camera will launch Photo, but that's where it stops; iPhoto doesn't show the camera as attached. I've tried switching USB ports, turning the camera off and back on, etc. Finder doesn't show it, either.
And now, after sitting here for 5 minutes with the camera attached, and after I typed and published the above, iPhoto just suddenly "saw" the camera. Very weird.

Photo booth unable to initialize logitech C910 webcam on first launch

When I try to open the Photo Booth application, the camera cannot be initialized, the image shows a spinning white circle. But if I launch the Logitech Webcam Software, and allow the image to show, then quit LWS and now I launch Photo Booth, the camera is now working.
I guess that this is a Lion Bug, since before upgrading to this version, on Snow Leopard the Photo Booth showed the image as soon as the app was launched.
How can I summit this bug to Apple?
Does anyone have the same issue and found a fix for this besides opening Photo Booth twice or launching the Logitech Software before PB?

Hi Paul,
Some feedback is easier than others.
For instance iChat has it's own page http://www.apple.com/feedback/ichat.html
Photo Booth is one of those few Apple apps that does not have a Feedback page of that sort.
I would ask in Discussions Feedback stating how the problem occurred and how to repeat it. Some one there may be able to point to a better place for a specific feedback.

Camera app won't work camera works (FaceTime and photo booth, etc) but not in camera mode what is wrong and howmdominfix?

When I open the camera app all I get is a black screen. If I choose FaceTime or photo booth it works just fine so camera itself is fine. It seems to be the app that is not fine.
What is wrong and how do I fix it?

Quit the camera app completely and then try it again..
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button.
Try the camera app again.

My IPad 2 doesn't recognize the camera connection kit

My ipad2 does nit recognize my camera connection kit. Actually the kit is recognized but when I put the chip or plug in the USB camera cable nothing happens. I'm using a Sony Dsc-Tx10 camera. It worked before but now it doesn't. Please help. I'm trying to upload my pictures to my iPad.
Thank you,
Josie

Check it to make sure the card and tray are free of dirt or dust. (You can blow into the empty slot to clean out any dust.)
Put the SIM card back in the tray, and slide the tray back into the slot.
