Photo Booth photo delay time?
Is there a Setting or Preference by which you can set the delay timer before a photo is taken in Photo Booth?
3 seconds isn't really long enough to stage a photo if you're also IN the photo. Is there a way to edit that setting, or, alternately, to program the application to take many photos in a row until it's told otherwise?
Thanks in advance, Mac wizards!

Welcome to Discussions, -Luke
I agree with Ralph. You can enable or disable the 3 second countdown in Photo Booth, but you cannot otherwise adjust it. Photo Booth, a rather basic app that allows few adjustments, won't do what you want. Moreover, Photo Booth is not scriptable, so you cannot control it with AppleScript.
If you cannot find some application other than Photo Booth that will do what you want, you may be able to use Apple Script &/or Automator with a different application (QuickTime Pro, iChat, etc.) to do something like what you want.
You may be able to use Automator's "Take Picture" or "Take Video Snapshot" process to automate a workflow that will meet your needs.
If not, and if the help file linked here does not give you some ideas, check out the two threads listed below to see if they might give you an idea for a starting point.
• http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=7769315 Michael Paine's suggestion for:
iSightCapture at ScriptBuilders:
http://scriptbuilders.net/files/isightcapture1.1.html and
the 2006-06-21 "Neoporcupine" Automating iSight blog entry:
http://neoporcupine.blogspot.com/2006/06/automating-isight.html
seem worth consideration for your proposed use.
• http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=7032270
Some of the ideas there might give you a useful idea.
When you have identified an application or approach you want to use, seek more specific help in AppleScript, Automator, or the relevant Application Discussions Forum.
When you have a solution, please post it back here if you are willing to share it with others who might want an answer to the same or a similar question.

Green light blinks continually...camera does not work in photo booth or face time.Any suggestions?
Hi Rogerya,
Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities. It sounds like you may be experiencing issues with the built-in FaceTime camera (also known as iSight) on your MacBook Air. The following resource provides relevant troubleshooting information that you can try:
How to Troubleshoot iSight - Apple Support
https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT2090
Important: Follow these instructions in order. Test the camera between steps to see if the issue is resolved.
Built-in iSight cameras
These steps are for iSight cameras that are built into a computer, such as the iMac G5 (iSight) or later, the MacBook, or MacBook Pro.
1. See if the issue is application-specific.
Try another application (iSight works with applications like iChat, PhotoBooth, and iMovie HD 6) to see if the iSight camera exhibits the same behavior in all applications. If it only happens in one application, try reinstalling that application.
2. See if the issue is user-specific.
Test your iSight camera in another user account. If the issue only occurs in one user, the issue would be isolated to user settings.
3. Find out if the computer recognizes the iSight
Check System Profiler (in the Utilities folder, inside the Applications folder). Under the USB header, check to see if the iSight camera is detected.
4. Reset SMC or PMU
Reset your computer's SMC or PMU, and then check System Profiler again. (SMC reset instructions for iMac G5 (iSight), Intel-based iMacs; PMU reset instructions for MacBook and MacBook Pro.)
If your built-in iSight camera is still not behaving correctly after trying all these steps, you may need to contact Apple or an Apple-Authorized Service Provider for service.

My Mac Book Pro was really slow at everything and would kick me out of my photos every time i got on them. now it won't even allow me to log on. i put my password in and the screen will flash white and go back to the login page. HELP please...
There is nothing wrong with your Dell, it will work fine with any MacbookPro. I have been using Dell displays for over 12 years with many different Mac models. I have two 21" Ultra Sharp displays working side by side to design a Keynote presentation right now.
The issue your having is with the way Keynote takes control of the video output to both displays, it sends the presentation signal to one and the presenter display to the other, this is set up in;
Keynote preferences > Presenter display.
If you want to show a wesite or another app on either display, use application switcher:
press the the command key on the keyboard, then the tab key; a row of applications will show what applications are running, choose which one you want to show. Use command > tab to return to Keynote. -
Can't print a photo multiple times on a single page
I just installed iLife 8 and am trying to print one 3X5 photo multiple times on a single page. When I consulted the help menu in iPhoto, I found what I thought was the answer. When I followed the instructions, I hit a snag because I don't have the Photos Per Page pop-up menu it references. Any ideas on how I can do this to save paper?
Here's what the help menu said:
Printing one photo multiple times on a single page
If you have a favorite photo you want to share with many people, you can print multiple copies of that photo on a single page.
To print one photo multiple times on a single page
Select the photo you want to print.
Click the Print button.
Select the paper size (such as letter-size or legal-size).
Select the print size (such as 2 x 3 or 4 x 6).
If you want to make the photo a custom size, select Custom.
Click the Customize button.
Click the Settings button.
Select “Multiple of the same photo per page” from the Photos Per Page pop-up menu.
iPhoto will zoom and crop the photo to fit the space available. To make a photo appear full-frame, Control-click the photo and choose “Fit Photo to Frame Size” from the menu that appears.
Click OK.
Click Print.Well don't I feel stupid! I just installed iLife '08 and assumed that it would tell me right away if I needed any updates. I found and installed the needed updates (7.1.1), I got the right settings drop down menu to print multiples on one page. Thanks for your help

How to restore a single Photo with time machine in Aperture 3 / iphoto?
How to restore a single Photo with time machine in Aperture 3 / iphoto?
Its been awhile since I used iPhoto, but I have done it.
If I recall correctly this is how.
In iPhoto open event that you need to restore the photo to ( the event that originally contained it )
Then open TM it should show that same event and then go back in time until you find the missing shot
Highlight the one you need to restore and tell TM to restore it.
Good luck -
I use more than one camera at events and each camera has a specific prefix on the photo numbers (ex. EW1_ and EW2_). I'd like to be able to sort these photos by time created rather than date created so they are listed in an order of how the event happened. Right now, the only option I see within the Finder and Automator is to sort them by date, but since the event is only one day it doesn't help me. You would think that sorting by date would also sort the time, but it doesn't. Any ideas?
Really? I'm annoyed that iPhoto for iOS is sorting all my synced pictures in chronological order. They don't appear in the custom order I've put them in iPhoto or Aperture. I don't want them in random order, but most of my iPhoto/Aperture albums on my Mac are in a particular order so they tell a story. While I do my best to to keep them approximately in chronological order, sometimes a later one just looks beter coming before an earlier one. There's no way to change the order once the pictures are in iPhoto for iOS.
I just sent Apple feedback asking to be able to manuall change the order of pictures in an album in iPhoto for iOS or for it to al least mirror the order they appear on my Mac's photo application.

To print one photo multiple times on a single page
The title of my question is the title of the page in iPhoto 8 help.
"To print one photo multiple times on a single page"
It says (a bit shortened) 1. Select photo 2. Click print button 3. Select paper size 4. Select print size 5 Click Customize button 6 Click Settings button 7. Select "Multiple of same photo per page from the Photos Per Page pop-up menu. 8 Click OK 9 Click Print.
I can not find the pop-up menu referred to in Step 7. There are two "settings" buttons - neither produce a Photos Per Page pop-up menu. Settings appears if you click a double arrow to the right in the lower margin but only deals with font issues and "Print Settings" does not offer such a pop-up.
I am using Leopard on a PowerBook G4 and just bought and installed the newest iLife 8.
Grateful for help.Arthur:
When you click on the Customize button there will be a Setting button in the next window. Click on it and in the drop down window that comes up will be the option to print multiple photos of the same photo per page.
Select that option and click OK. You'll get the spinning cursor for a few seconds as iPhoto creates the multiple copies on the page you selected. Be sure that the print size is small enough so that you can have multiple copies of it on the paper size you selected.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file. -
Filter Panel lists unlabeled photos 3 times
I have been using Bridge for some time now and I think it's great. Now suddenly in the Filter Panel in the 'labels' tab my unlabeled photos are listed 3 times, like so:
No label 54
No label 54
Green label 7
Red label 2
No label 54
I have tried a number of things like rebooting Bridge with F5, rebooting my iMac, purging the cache, selecting all images in a folder, giving the unlabeled ones labels and then removing the labels again, but to no avail. It still lists the unlabeled photos 3 times. It also does so with new photos that I have just downloaded into the computer: I give one image a label and immediately the unlabeled ones appear in threefold. I don't know what's causing this, although I have been busy reorganizing my photocollection the other day. Question is, can I get rid of this annoying phenomenon?
Thanks in advance!Strange problem, does its also occur in a new created folder?
If not use the menu tools-cache-purge cache for folder.
Try to use the reset workspace (under the triangle next to the workspace in
top of the window choose reset workspace.
If still not good try to restart Bridge holding down option key and choose
refresh preferences. Set prefs again to your wishes and try if it did work.
Question is, can I get rid of this annoying phenomenon?
Thanks in advance! -
How to find photo in time capsule
Is it easier finding a deleted photo in time capsule using aperture, than iphoto?
Considering buying apertureIs it easier finding a deleted photo in time capsule using aperture, than iphoto?
Considering buying aperture
No. Aperture works just ltke iPhoto as far as trying to go back and find photos that were deleted.
You must go back in time to the point where the photos were still on your computer and then restore the entire iPhoto library as a separate library, keeping your current library as well. Then, open iPhoto using the "restored" library, browse to find the photos that you want and export them to the desktop.
Then, open iPhoto again using your current library, and import the photos from the desktop back into the current library. When you are sure that you have everything back in the current library, you can delete the old library and that you restored, and the exported items on the desktop since you no longer need these copies.
This is a lot of work. Pondini has some tips and workarounds for you here:

Must import all photos every time
I recently updated my iPhoto 5 with whatever the most current downloadable update was, i believe its 5.0.4. Ever since this, i cannot choose not to import images that are already in the iPhoto library and also still on my camera's memory. It it making me import ALL of my photos EVERY time. this is annoying, since i do not always like to delete the media from my camera right away.
In my older versions of iPhoto 5 i was prompted to decide wether or not to import duplicates every time i hooked up the camera, now it does not display this prompt, it just imports everything every time. can i turn the prompt box back on so that i can only inport the photos i dont have yet. or has this feature been done away with for some unknown and ill-logical reason?alexfiege:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. iPHoto 6 seems to have a problem in this area for a lot of users, thought not all. I found that if I upload to a folder on the desktop and then import that folder I get the query regarding duplicates. You might give that a try until iPhoto's fixed. You can use Image Capture to handle the upload to the Desktop. It's located in your Applications folder.
Do you Twango?

Finding deleted photo in time capsule
Is it easier finding a deleted photo in time capsule using aperture, than iphoto?
Considering buying apertureAperture and iPhoto are sharing exactly the same format for the photo library. To restore deleted photos from a Time Machine backup you will need to restore the iPhoto library or Aperture library. That is the same for both applications.
