Photo Booth Email Problems

When I try to email a movie created in Photo Booth (ver. 2.0.1.(72)) my recipients hear the audio but can't see the video. I use Mail as my email program. I've tried using the Mail function within Photo Booth and I've also tried using Mail and attaching the movie file myself. I note that in either situation I'm not given any opportunity to adjust the size of the attachment. What can I do to allow my recipients to hear and see the movie?

Welcome to Apple Discussions, madenton7
Does your recipient have the latest version of QuickTime Player?
If your recipient is a Windoze user, does he have his sound turned on and his volume set properly?
If your recipient is a Windoze user, search your Mac's Mail > Help or see the web-based If Windows users have trouble with your attachments help.
If you mail the same attachment to yourself, does the copy that you receive work properly?

Photo Booth Audio Problem

Hi all,
am currently running lion 10.7.5
i have an assignment to submit with video and audio recording.
It has always worked fine recording video and audio but this time photo booth just stopped working.
Usually i have logic pro and photo booth running at the same time, photo booth for the video, logic to record the audio, then i put them together later.
However now photo booth is unable to record videos.
Taking photos is still possible, the green light is still there.
But clicking record video the timer will stay put at 00:00:00
After i stopped the recording it's a black video of 0 seconds.
I'm using a external audio interface.
I would like to mention again that it has always worked fine.
i checked the audio settings, the audio midi settings, all are fine.
when i switched audio input and output to internal mic and default output,
recording videos worked again.
however my logic is unable to produce any output at all.
i cannot run these two simultaneously anymore.
even if logic input and output is set to my audio interface and photo booth set to default output, it still doesn't work.

I even restarted the laptop many times.
I reset the SMC and the PRAM but to no avail.
I cleared photobooth's plist and it still does not work.
i'm sure it's not my external audio interface problem as there was no driver update prior to this problem

Photo Booth Effect Problems

Hi,
Im having problems with the video effects, such as clouds, eiffel tower or dots, with photo booth. Everytime I try to set it up, the background is mixed with the actual picture/person. I think its because of similar colours, but what solutions are there to this problem?
thanks a lot
raphael

This isn't a bug at all, folks.
What photo booth does is take a picture of your background without you in it. Then it overlays the beach picture (my fav) and, after you move back into the frame, changes only the pixels which are of a different color than your original background.
This is the same way they use blue-screens (or green) in the movie business. With the same problems.
You need to be careful about the lighting and the colors you choose. (Don't wear a white shirt in front of a white wall). Try using a sheet of a really different color. Make sure there are no ripples in the fabric. Ideally, your light source would be in front of you and a couple of feet higher to avoid shadows on your background.
It sounds complicated but once you got it setup right, it works really well!!
Good luck!

Annoying Photo booth/ iSight problems

I often record videos using photo booth. and today....
The videos cut out before i pressed stop. They lasted about 37 seconds and then just cut out randomly, when i was recording however, it say it was still recording and ive set it so my screen doesnt dim withing 30 minutes whenever im recording.
And then when it finaly fracking worked, the ONE THAT ACTUALLY WORKED had no sound!!!! the other ones had sound, but stupid mic just decided not to work?
The only programs running was photo booth and the always running finder.

Some ideas you can consider:
(1) Your system info shows Mac OS X (10.5.6)
If this is correct, use your Mac's Disk Utility to repair permissions. Then download and install the latest version of Leopard:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL866
Immediately after the restart that completes the update, repair permissions again. Then test to see if the problem is resolved.
(2) Verify that you are not clicking anywhere outside the Photo Booth window while recording. When running Photo Booth in Mac OS X 10.5.x on my G5 Mac, Photo Booth immediately stops recording unless its recording is the currently active window.
(For other readers, Snow&Leopard Photo Booth does NOT stop even if its window is not the active one.)
(3) Test recording with iMovie and QuickTime Pro if you have it to see if they also quit early.
If apps other than Photo Booth record properly but you do not want to use one of those that work properly, it is possible that a corrupted Photo Booth Preferences file is causing your problem. Quit Photo Booth (and all other applications) and throw away the Photo Booth Preferences file (com.apple.photobooth.plist) from your Home / Library / Preferences folder. A new preferences folder will be generated when you restart Photo Booth to test whether it works now.
(4) If resetting preferences did not help but you still want to use Photo Booth, reinstalling the Photo Booth app might help.
(5) You might also see if any of the suggestions here help you:

Photo Booth background problem

On my Mac when I go on Photo Booth all the effects work apart from the backgrounds with the roller coaster and the fish ext. It just loads the background then dosent put me in it I have a logitech c270 webcam.

This is the IPhoto forum. You need to try the 10.7 forum. You'll find a link to this here

Photo Booth launch problem

Photo Booth refuses to open when not used for a short period of time -- maybe about an hour. The Dock icon bounces a while, and then there is a long pause with nothing . Pretty much very thing is frozen with the rotating color wheel appearing when trying to get to the Apple Menu. Finally a dialog box comes up stating "The application Photo Booth quit unepectedly." -- Ignore, Report, Relaunch. Hitting "Relaunch" results in the same dialog box appearing again. Hitting "Relaunch" one more time gives the options "Do not relaunch", "Reset and relaunch", and "Relaunch". Hitting "Reset and relaunch" finally launchs Photo Booth. I can quit it and open it a few minutes later, and all is fine. If I wait awhile longer, it goes back to original nonfunctional mode, and I have to repeat the whole process to get it to launch.
Does anyone know how to fix this issue? I have reported it to Apple.

I am wondering if it is a Font Issue.
Certain Fonts are needed to be Active by the System and by certain apps to work properly

Photo booth effects problems.

Sorry if this is in the wrong place I didn't know where to put it. I am a new mac user and in photo booth when I try to use the effects for video they do not show up right. I select the effect and it ask me to step out of the frame. I do that and it looks perfect, but when I re-enter the effects get all messed up. Is there something I need to do or a certain way to re-enter into the frame?
thanks for all the help.

Check in the iSight forum.

Photo text/email problem

i know the iphone cant send normal photo text messages so I tried the [email protected] way. I also tried sending it to a tmobile user. both times they would get the text message but no photo. and if they reply to it and send me a photo i get there's with no problem. any ideas?

It may be some limitation on the TMobile's MMS server that prevents pictures of a certain size to be sent via MMS...

Photo and email problem

When i go to my photos and am viewing a picture it will not let me set it as my background or anything else dealing with the button in the top right corner between trash and slideshow. When i click onit it turns gray and my photo app freezes. Help
Also when i try to send an email it pops up for only a brief time (about 10 seconds)
If anyone knows how to fix any of these that would be nice

Shut down all programs that are running in the background.
1. Double-click the Home button to see Apps in background
2. Hold the Apps down for a second or two until you see the minus sign
3. Tap the minus sign to close program
4. Reset iPad. Hold the Sleep and Home button down for about 10 second until you see the Apple logo

Problem with Photo Booth (NOT CRASHING)

So I updated to 10.6.2 which THANKFULLY solved the Photo Booth crashing problem... However, some effects are producing an inverted color image
Here is it what I mean:
How it's supposed to look (captured by screen shot): http://img148.imagevenue.com/img.php?image=63601Screen_shot_2009-11-12_at_4.55_122576lo.jpg
How it is being saved: http://img127.imagevenue.com/img.php?image=63605Photo_on_2009-11-12_at_16_122409lo.jpg
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated

I don't know the correct place to post this issue, but I do know that I have the same issue on my iMac with Snow Leopard. I actually have a problem with the effects page that has the cube, the clown, the cowboy, etc. All these effects save the photo wrong. The colors are off and grainy.

ISight not showing when Photo Booth is open? Help :S?

Hey guys, when I open Photo Booth, my iSight doesn't even respond to it, and doesn't even turn on. There is no green light or anything. It works when I use iChat or any other application that uses the iSight but not photo booth. I have done all the trouble shooting and reseting but still nothing. In the system profiler it shows that my iSight is recognized and that it is there and working, but why not photo booth? It has worked before too.
Help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks a lot in advance
D2LMD

You're welcome, D2LMD
I have tried all of the things you just listed and still no go...
Because your iSight works in every user account you try with every application (except Photo Booth), the problem is definitely in your software. Having reinstalled the application itself, the software problem must lie in some of the system or QuickTime ancillary files that Photo Booth uses.
To remedy this problem, I can offer three choices for your consideration:
(1) Backup your important files and then reinstall all of your Mac software using the "reinstall" or "restore" disk that came with your Mac. After that is done, repair permissions and then use your Mac's Software Update... to be sure you are using the latest version of your Apple software. Finish with another permission repair after the updates are done, and then test to see if Photo Booth is working.
(2) Ignore your non-working Photo Booth. Instead, use some other app to capture images:
• If you do not need Photo Booth's "effects", some alternative apps that can
capture snapshots and movie/video clips are included in this list.
• Apps that have with "effects" similar to those in Photo Booth include
Funny Photographer, Freak Show, and WebcamTweaker.
(3) If nothing else works for you, follow Apple's ultimate suggestion from http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2090 and contact Apple or an Apple-Authorized Service Provider for service.

Problems Recording Video with Photo Booth

Macbook Details:
OS X Yosemite
Version 10.10.2
MacBook Pro (15-inch, Late 2011)
Processor 2.2 GHz Intel Core i7
Memory 4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
Photo Booth: Version 7.0 (724)
Some background: It all started going downhill for my laptop when I got a "Service Battery" warning back in December. Thought it could possibly be a glitch from the new OS. In any case, they told me to wait it out till the Full Charge Capacity reaches the 2000s. It's currently at around 4225 and slowly steadily decreasing. I can't keep many applications open at one given time.
The problem: Built-in camera is working fine with Skype, FaceTime, etc. Photo Booth pictures are fine as well. Simply unable to record any video with PB. It will sometimes record, but during recording, the image freezes. Upon playback, the image is frozen for the entire video, and audio lags or skips around. Today it froze and actually sat frozen all day while I continued to use other applications.
Is there anything I can do??

You can't record video with PhotoBooth, you can record video with iMovie, or you can record with Quicktime if you have the Pro version. I would suggest using iMovie, create an MPEG-4 project, record your footage, drag your recorded clips into the timeline, then choose the Share menu and choose Email.
Baby footage will be on its way to the grandparents in no time!

The problem is with the new operating system and sending photo via email when used in my iPad. From photo I selected 3 photos to send via email. I choose the upload key and choose to send by email. Typing text on the email is very slow.

The problem is with the new operating system and sending photo via email when used in my iPad.
From photo I selected 3 photos to send via email. I choose the upload key and choose to send by email. Typing text on the email is very slow. This is solved by saving the email as a draft and opening the email again from mail.
Can you amend he system to allow emails to be sent from photo as previously.

Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPad?
Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after the iPad shuts down, then press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds). Ignore the "Slide to power off"

Hello Winsoton and thanks for your reply. I also tried to open it with various programs I have, iMovie, Quicktime, HandBrake, iTunes, no luck
As to what EZ Jim said, yes Photo Booth is a basic, fun app. and one should not rely on it to record important clips on it but its not that I chose to record an important clip there, just that it coincidently started as a fun clip but ended up being important after. Kinda like coincidently capturing video footage of a UFO with your cheap camera phone one day you were recoding a nice sunset, in the end you wish you could of had a HD professional video camera instead of your phone lol. Not that I caught UFO's on tape through my imac's Photo Booth lol. Just using it as an example to why the clip is important.
Anyhow, the issue here, so as to not get out of the subject by discussing why it is an impotant clip, is that I am trying to figure out if anyone has been able to open a file like that with any program, or knows a way to do it.
Anyhow, thanks for your guy's replies. Im still trying to figure it out how to open it.
If anyone finds out how to, let me and Jvaldez know, i think we are in the same situation, trying to open a .mov file that was recorded on Photo Booth without hitting the stop button in the end to end it, but rather closing the program.
