Photo Booth is unable to save picture!

Hello!
Photo Booth was functionning for a year without any problem, but now I get the following error message:
""There was a problem saving the photo file /Users/claire/Pictures/Photo Booth/Photo 1.jpg. This photo cannot be saved.""
I cleared all the images from the Photo Booth library, memory space should not be the problem.
Any ideas?
Thanks,

Ok
The next thing I'd try is another media card
And after that, a device wipe and OS reload using BBSAK.
You will need to use BBSAK or JL_Cmder to wipe the device and subsequently load the OS to the device. Follow the instructions here:

Unable to Save Pictures to Device After 10.2 Update

After the Verizon update to 10.2, I am unable to save pictures received via MMS to the device. The screen dims like it is going to work, but after a (too long) delay the screen returns to where I was before viewing the picture. On the plus side, it does allow me to share, and after doing this a few times, the suggestion comes up to my email so I can email the pictures to myself and at least I have access to them on my computer.
As expected, my testing shows the same problem with pictures received via BBM and via eMail.
Since the 10.2 update, EVRYTHING runs in super slow motion, and leads an inpatient user to think the phone is hung up. In this case I'm sure that this is an error, not a delay because I have waited and waited for the function to work properly.

Have you tried rebooting the device by removing the battery?

UNABLE to save pictures to photo album from SMS text

I have the 16GB 3GS, and no e-mail or SMS text that contain pictures can be saved to my photo album. Each time I select save picture, nothing happens. I have restored my iPhone 3 times from back ups and once as "a new phone" loosing all my app settings.

Well, got home and resynced and restored my iphone
When you restored your new phone, did you restore it from the backup of your old phone? If so, that "could" be your problem. Something in your backup could very well be corrupt, thus restoring your problem to your new phone. Why not try restoring your phone as a "new" device in itunes, followed by syncing your content back to your phone. If this solves your issue, that would confirm your old backup is corrupt.

Photo Booth doesn't show all pictures taken

I reformatted my iMac and now the pictures taken before the reformat don't appear in PBooth. Only the newly taken ones appear, although I can see the old ones in the Finder in the same location as the new ones (User/Pictures/Photo Booth). There are over 100 pics in that location, but only 7 show in PB.
Why can I not see them all in PBooth?

Check the Recents.plist that Photo Booth uses to keep track of its images: ~/Library/Application Support/Photo Booth/Recents.plist. I would guess that your Recents.plist currently shows only 7 entries. To fix the problem: (1) Duplicate the file, just in case you need it back. (2) Open Recents.plist in TextEdit and then add a line for every item in ~Pictures/Photo Booth following the pattern in the array section: for example, insert "<string>Photo 4.jpg</string>" to add Photo 4.jpg to the images PB recognizes. (3) Save the file.
As an alternative, you could recover your old Recents.plist from a backup and then modify that file to match the content of ~Pictures/Photo Booth.

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.

Photo Booth can't find its pictures.

Hi all,
Yesterday I was cleaning up my 'pictures' folder and decided to move the Photo Booth folder to another folder within 'pictures' that I had named 'private photos'. However, this morning when I made the customary self-portrait all the pictures in the Photo Booth 'film strip' (at the bottom in the window) where gone! So I open the finder, see that Photo Booth has created a new folder with the same name within 'pictures' which is empty. I drag my 'old' Photo Booth folder back to where it used to be and are asked if I want to replace the new one. I click 'yes' and everything looks like before in the finder. Restart Photo Booth but the pictures are still not in the film strip!
So I run Maintenance 3.8 to repair permissions and all that. Didn't help.
Please help!
Thank You

From What I've found.. it seems 3ivx or Perian could cause this problem. A friend had this issue and deleted 3ivx and it fixed his crashes. Alternatively, some folks are reporting that turning off 32-bit mode (Get Info) for Photobooth has also fixed, although this was already turned off in my friend's case. Or if you have iGlasses installed.

Unable to save pictures automatically

Hello there...i have got some issues while taking pictures as my photos are not getting saved while using the camera....please advise to resolve this asap....

Are you using an app to take pictures or the built in app that came with the phone?

Unable to save pictures.

I try taking a picture and get this message:
Ciphering material does not match this device
My default save location is the media card.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

You have enabled encryption on either the device and/or media card. Unless it's a requirement for your job or you keep very sensitive information on your Media card (why?), turn it off! Simply setting a password on the device is suffice to protect the data on the device, and the Media Card should not have sensitive information.
To turn off device encryption, go to Options --> Security Options --> General Settings, and set Content Protection to Disabled.
Before you turn off encryption on the Media Card, you'll want to try to copy anything on it to your computer - if you can.
To turn off Media Card encryption, go to Options --> Media Card, and set Encryption Mode to None.
Once you've turned off all encryption, you should really reformat the card to clear any encrypted data on it. Go to Options --> Media Card, click the [Menu] button and select Format Card. This will format the card correctly for your BlackBerry.

Photo booth pictures not Showing in Photo Booth

When i open photo booth, none of my last pictures i have taken show up in the bottom of photo booth, is there anyway i can get them to show up?

Just a thought, but you could've inadvertantly clicked on the little x at the bottom left of the pic. Not to fear though, they are in your photo booth directory.

Recents.plist file in my User/Pictures/Photo Booth folder?

When I use PhotoBooth, a preference file named Recents.plist forms inside my User/Pictures/Photo Booth folder along with the picture. Why is this happening and can it be stopped?

Hello and thanks again BDAqua for writing. Yes, if I delete this Photo Booth Recent.plist file it will come back in the same place in my User/Photo Booth folder after I take another picture in Photo Booth. After deleting the one that was created earlier this morning, a Spotlight search shows no other file named Recents.plist anywhere on my HD. Spotlight also shows no entries named Photo Booth except the application itself and the one in my User/Pictures folder. I have no Photo Booth folder you describe to hold this preference file in my User/Application Support folder at all. The last four weekly clones I've taken also have no Photo Booth folder in that Application Support folder.

Import INTO Photo Booth?

I had some problems with my computer and ended up wiping it clean and reinstalling everything.
I have a clone, so I just moved all my vital stuff over. I had some pics and movies in Photo Booth prior and moved the 'Photo Booth' folder from my old 'Pictures' folder in my user folder.
Everything I want is in that folder but none of it shows up in Photo Booth. If I take new pictures and movies, it adds them to the folder and sees the new ones but never the old ones I dragged over from my clone. Anyone know how to make them show up?

Hi guys,
Until about 10 minutes ago, I was just as lost and confused as you guys were, and very disappointed that it seemingly is such a chore to do something that should be very easy. I have the quick and easy solution to this problem.
The first key bit of information is this: in Leopard (10.5.2 currently), Photo Booth stores the information of what photos it shows in a file called "Recents.plist" and this file is in 'username'>Library>Application Support>Photo Booth. Now that we know where this file is, we can ignore the one that is actually in the Photo Booth folder (with all your pictures), since that one isn't being used anymore; you can keep it, delete it, eat it...whatever. Now, the tricky but easy to follow part is this:
Open terminal. Type cd, then press the Space Bar. Now in Finder, drag the folder you're working with ("Photo Booth"...should be by default in your Photos folder) into the Terminal window.
Mouse click on Terminal to make it active and hit Return.
Then type ls -1 (that's lower-case l, s, and the number 1, meaning "list short with one entry per line").
Hit Return again. You should get a list of all the files currently in the folder.
You'll have to alter the list a bit (I usually employ Microsoft Word for find and replace work) to translate it into the proper format. Open Word and paste in the data from Terminal. Delete Recents.plist from the end of the list (since the finished plist doesn't need to include itself in the list of photos).
Hit Command-F, then click on the Replace tab. Enter ^p in the search field (that's the code for paragraph breaks) and enter </string>^p^t<string> in the replace field. Click on Replace All.
Add a <string> to the first item in the list, and delete any unneeded extra stuff at the end of the list.
Select the results and hit Command-C to copy.
Switch to the recents.plist file that you've opened in TextEdit, select all the <string> lines, delete, and paste in the new lines from Word.
Save the new recents.plist file to disk and reopen Photo Booth. All the pictures in the folder should now display.
I hope this helps. I did it and it worked really well for me.

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!

Photo Booth Problem

I have an external iSight camera connected to my Mac Mini, and it works wonderfully with iChat AV. However, I want to work wonderfully with Photo Booth....
When I launch Photo Booth, I can see a picture in the window, however, when I select Effects 1, some of the previews of the the different effects disappear and then re-appear (they kind of flash). Even if I choose and effect that I can still see, when I return to the main window, the screen's black/blank > a black/blank photo. If I select Effects 2, NONE of the previews appear. I CAN click on any/all of the effects, but the screen is black and I can't get anything to appear in the main window.
BUT, if say I select "Comic Book" in Effects 1 or "Fisheye" in Effects 2 > quit Photo Booth > relaunch > I see whatever iSight sees with the Comic Book effect, and I can take a picture. It's just when I go to the effect options and then return to the main window that I run into problems.
I've pitched Photo Booth preferences to no avail, and that's about all I know how to do. Any ideas?

System updates have taken care of this problem--i guess the program on the MacMini was just a bit buggy.
