Photo Booth Pictures File Location?

Upgraded to Mavericks and I can't find any of the picture files from Photo Booth. Previously they were in User/Pictures/PhotoBooth
But now that folder is empty.
If I open up "Photo Booth Library" I can see the pictures within photobooth. But not the file location. Also, some of my photos

If you'd like to be able to access the photos in any way other than just in FINDER, ie: to upload them on webforms, and other apps, then you can do this
open Terminal
type:
cd Pictures
ln -s Photo\ Booth\ Library/Pictures/ PhotoBoothPics
this will create a folder called PhotoBoothPics that is a link to the photobooth library, and is accessible to attach to email, etc, and will always have all your pics

Can't locate Photo Booth picture on MacBook Air

I used Photo Booth to take a picture of myself when I first bought my MacBook Air.
Somehow--I don't remember doing this (but I may have), the photo then became part of my login screen whenever it appears.
I now want to remove that photo, but I can't seem to find it anywhere on my computer. Help?

I have the same issue. Was working fine until Saturday when Rogers reset my modem because we lost our internet connection. Our modem is direct connected to our PC and we connec with the Macbook through wifi.
When the modem rebooted we got an IP error and they had to do a renew and release. Since then - no wifi on macbook.
every time we try to join our home network it gives a password wrong error. The password is not wrong. Airport is a solid yellow light. Ethernet is red.
I am not great with macs and I have scoured the net and I cannot figure this out

Lost Photo Booth pictures

Hi friends,
We got a new iMac with Photobooth. The kids made hilarious movies the first day. The next day (after we restarted the machine or mounted migration assistant a second time - I'm not sure), all of the Photo Booth entries were gone. Is there any way to retrieve lost PB pictures?
Thanks,
Jeff

Jeff,
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Have you looked in the following location:? Macintosh HD/Users/yourusernam/Pictures/Photo Booth Folder.
If it is not there, I believe that it may be gone...

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.

MACBOOK Air photo booth picture quality....

Just got my macbook air...sorry dont know what version ?? (how do I find that out?) and was taking some pictures in photo booth and it is so grainy I had pictures in my photo booth from my macbook 13" which is around 7 years old photo booth pics from there are clearer then the macbook air...I have been trying to find some info but none? Should I bring to apple store do something??? anything feedback is thankful!

Do not believe that! I work for a University and just today I went to see the floor models at the computer store I looked at the same MACBOOK air 13" and the photo booth qualityy picture was much sharper than my grainy one. So with that said I have had it 5 days why the heck do I have to make an appointment with Apple Genius to see the issue.these computers should be on point especially with them prices my macbook looks better then the Air nah guys I am talking about the photo booth quality! lets see what they say....

Photo Booth picture is in all sent e-mails

My nephew somehow added his goofy picture in the from header on all my emails that I send. Can anyone tell me how to delet it. I have deleteed all saved pictures in Photo Booth.
Thanks,

Welcome to the discussions, wtragnitz.
Open Address Book and use menu Card/Go to my card. You will probably find the offending image there, and can replace it with one more to your liking.
I think you will find that the picture has not actually been sent. When you say "the from header on all my emails that I send" do you mean that when you look in your sent mailbox and select a message, the displayed mail in the viewing pane shows the picture at the right hand end of the headers? If so, it is just a local display and your message recipients don't see it.
This feature is used when you receive a mail; if the sender is in your address book, and you have added a picture, the picture is displayed when you look at the message.

Can't take photo booth picture

On my iMac using OS 10.7.4 I'm not able to take a PHOTO BOOTH photo. The image does show on the monitor, but making the single shot selection and clicking the camera does not take a photo. Do have a a camera problem or have not invoked the proper settings?

Welcome to Apple Discussions, Hrair
The suggestions in http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93240 may help you.
If not, try downloading and reapplying the 10.5.1 Update. Repair permissions before and after running the Updater.
If you are still having problems, have you considered the "Important: Read before installing" section of About the Mac OS X 10.5.1 Update and ruled out the possible problems mentioned there?

Photo Booth pictures dark

Just upgraded from Snow Leopard to Maverick. When taking picture in photobooth. Pictures come out dark as if the screen flash is not syncing with picture.
I have tossed out the preferences and plist and still the same result.

Look while in PhotoBooth to the menu at the top. Under the Edit menu you should see "Auto Flip New Photos." Make sure it isn't checked.

How to retrieve accidentally deleted Photo Booth pictures?

I accidentally pressed the "x" button on the bottom of a pic that I wanted to keep. I tried Google to help solve this situation, but only found the following thread to no avail: http://forums.macosxhints.com/showthread.php?t=83220
One of the responders to a person that was in my same situation posted the following directory: /private/var/tmp/folders.501/TemporaryItems/com.apple.PhotoBooth/IntermediateTr ashDirectory/
That doesn't work.
Does anybody know how to find those pictures?
It's not in my Trash, I don't know where it is.

Nevermind, I found them.

Where to Locate Initial Setup Photo Booth Account Picture

My wife accidentally selected a different Photo Booth picture and set it to our account picture. She is now very upset because the initial picture was one she really liked and it was from Christmas morning... Anyway, the picture is not present in /Pictures/Photo Booth. Anyone know where else this might be located?

I don't know if this will help but open Accounts in *System Preferences*. Now choose the account the picture was with. Click the current picture on the little down arrow that appears when you do a mouse over and a drop down window will appear. Choose *Edit Picture*. At the top of the box you will see a choice that says *Recent Pictures*. Click it and see if the picture is still available there.
I checked this out and it stores at least 18 pictures here. I have four different snapshots that show here that were taken while trying to get a good one. Still trying:->

Deleted my photo booth recents.plist file

hey
so i was thinking i would try n import back my old photo booth pictures that managed escaped, back into the app. after reading the forums it seems i need a file 'recents.plist', but i dont have it?
some people have said it automatically comes back... mine, as it appears, has not?
what do i dooo? how do i get'em back in?
cheers
L o u i sss

There is a
com.apple.recentitems.plist
but nothing simply named "recents.plist" at least on my computer.
It would not have any files in it anyway, only the name and location.
If you look through "All Images" in the Finder Sidebar, you will see any and all images on your computer.
If you know the approximate date, you can narrow down the search.
They will most likely be named as such:
Photo 5.jpg, Photo 6.jpg
and so on.

Mid 2009 13" MBP iSight camera bad picture quality in photo booth

My daughter's stock mid 2009 13" MBP 2.26 ghz intel core two duo has a problem with the isight camera. The isight camera is built in to the screen. The isight camera works some of the time flawlessly and other times it comes out real grainy and with small colored pixels all over the screen like colored static (about 20% to 30% of the photo booth screen is affected but the rest of the screen outside of the photo booth app is unaffected). She only uses it in photo booth but we've tried the iChat app and the same thing happens there too, once she couldn't get the MBP to connect to the isight camera (it just showed a black photo booth screen), so she closed the lid of her MBP and reopened it and it worked. All of the software and firmware is up to date and we've tried resetting the PRAM and the SMC, it didn't do anything to fix the problem. It seems like there's a wire loose in the computer from the screen to the computer base, only because I can move the screen back and forth and the picture quality changes, the amount of static on the picture will move, go away or get worse. I had the screen changed in early 2010 (January or February) (the MBP was about 5 or 6 months old then) at the apple store under warranty due to dirt under the screen's glass (manufacturing defect). The photo booth picture static problem comes and goes, but here lately it comes more than it goes. The screen in general is in good shape and doesn't have any detectable problems with it, it has a good picture and no dead pixels, the problem seems to be only isolated to the isight camera. Can some one help with this problem? How long of a warranty is given on the warranty repairs (like the screen change they did in early 2010)? If apple does a repair on it and finds a wire that has rubbed the insulation off of it on a hinge causing a short and the isight problem, as a result of a sloppy repair from the first warranty repair, will they cover it under warranty again even if it's been over a year since they changed the screen? Also how honest will apple be if they do find out it is a problem caused from the first screen replacement, will they own up to their mistake? If I don't agree with apple's repair decision, can I get a second opinion from an outside source, third party, and if it's diagnosis different than apple's and can be proven, can I still get apple to do and pay for the repairs and labor if it turns out to be their fault from the first warranty screen replacement?
The reason why I'm asking is, I took my wife's white macbook in about a year ago for the famous cracked top cover replacement (under warranty) and when I got the computer back, the isight camera didn't work, so I gave it back, they took it apart a look at it and said there was nothing wrong with it and gave it back, then the screen wouldn't come on so after 4 hours at the Apple store they decided to send it to Austin, TX. for repairs (I'm in Ft. Worth TX.). Apple in Austin said it needed a new main board. They said the old one had water damage to it. We never had water anywhere near the computer, not even in the same room. It was working fine when we took it in, we took it in just to get the plastic top case, that cracks all of the time, replaced under warranty. And then they wanted us to pay for an $800 main board because some how while they were doing the top cover replacement it got water damaged. I argued with them and they finally gave me a one-time offer of them paying for half of the repair and labor or if I disagreed or left the store I would have to pay the whole amount if I chose to have the repairs done. So I ended up having to pay $467 for a year old macbook main board that was water damaged in their possession during their repairs. I like Apple and their products but I am worried about giving my daughter's MBP over to them for repairs because of this incident, it's an honesty issue with how honest they will be with what they find because they won't give back the old parts for analysis by a third party to verify their diagnosis.
Thanks for any info and advice anyone can give.

Hi,
As a personal note I find long posts like this hard to read if they are not broken up in to paragraphs.
As I say it is a personal thing.
I can give you some information about the camera and laptops over the past few years.
Basically in early Laptops of the MacBook Pro and MacBook range the cable did tend to fray at the point where it passed through the hinge. It did take a well used laptop that had the lid open and closed frequently to cause this. (your 2009 model might just be in that group - I have no firm dates or models I am afraid)
Later models have this rerouted so that this does not happen.
However the cable has then tended to get pulled from the camera end and become loose.
This On Line Self fix site has pages about some models (The one I have linked to may not be yours)
I have linked in to later pictures in the sequence but there are navigation points to work back to the start.
Note:- they use pretty specifc specialest tools as well in these pics.
Doing this would certail Void any Warranty you have left.
From Posts mainly in the iChat and the iSight areas I have gathered that it seems common for Apple to replace the Screen as a whole rather than fiddle with getting solely at the camera.
Apple has this article on Trouble Shooting an iSight
Basically it says try several apps then try logging in on another Mac User account to see if it is App based or User based or in fact System wide.
If System wide then resetting the SMC/PMU is the only suggested fix. (Which I did read you had done)
In addition to that I would add that testing should be done in different lighting conditions.
Lighting in the evening or dark that is good enough to read buy is not always good enough for the camera or is not illuminating the right areas.
Some people have reported that Starting the computer in Safe Mode (then Rebooting afterwards) seems to help. (it clears out some caches and starts up with reduced extensions)
As to actual Repairs and any Warranty that may still be in place I cannot say.
I can say that when people post about problems with repairs a certain stores someone else will tend to post that their experience was different.
You seem to report two different experiences with the two computers yourself.

Issue with uploading files from photo booth

Whenever I want to upload a photo booth picture from my computer, I hit upload and go to the photo booth section of the window that pops up. However, the photo previews displayed only show my first fifty or so photos (I have over 400 in there), and I have to click in and out of the photo booth folder until it shows all of my photos to choose from. Does anybody else have this problem/know how to fix it?

I think your question should go in the Bridge forum,
