Photo Booth Squeeky Noise in video
Any time I record a video on my new mac book I got on monday, I hear this really high squeaky noise as I watch the video. I've gone to different places just to test it out and everywhere I go I get this high squeaky noise after it has been recorded. Once in awhile it won't do it, but a majority of the times I hear it throughout my whole video. It doesn't do it when I am recording, just when I watch.
Let me know.
Thanks,
Jonas

Hey. I am having the exact same issue with my MacBook. I tested it in different areas and found that the high-pitched chirruping is in each video recorded directly from the internal mic. I have changed settings, but to no avail. Any ideas?

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 youHello 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 ***! -
Hello all,
So, a big issue with my Macbook pro 13" / 2010 / OS X 10.8.2
Since i installed lion, and mountain lion, no more video for the following apps, even the light of integrated camera is green
I done the reset of SMC, NVRAM PRAM etc....
Repair the permission
Check the disk
None of all actions above solved my problem ! So if someone have clue he is welcome

Help Help Help
Thanks in advance for your help
Regards
NicoHello 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.

Photo Booth has stopped recording Videos all of a sudden??
Hi all,
on my iMac only 6 months old, all of a sudden after working fine Photo Booth today has decided to stop recording videos.
The app launches, green light comes on and the picture/video shows, i press record and it counts down but the counter doesnt move although the picture is still there.
Press stop and it loads a black screen and plonks it in the library thing at the bottom of the picture.. Very odd.
I have trashed the Preferences and this does nothing,
Have deleted the other videos so its not a space issue?
Wondering if anyone else has the same thing???
Any help greatly accepted,,
Many thanksDoes anyone know where you can get a version of Photobooth? I didnt have any disks of the OSX lion that shipped with my iMac?

Photo booth crashes when taking video
why does my photo booth keep crashing when i try to take videos? help plss
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.

Photo booth only records partial Video no matter how long it is...Help!!
ok so i wanted to make a funny video to send to my friend. I turned on Photo booth, chose the video option, and hit record. I proceeded to completely embarrass myself on camera for about 5 mins, and i clicked stop. When it stopped, only like the 1st 18 secs were recorded. I thought maybe i clicked stop on accident, so i tried it again, and it was the same problem.. is anyone else having this problem? if so is there a solution for it? please help...thanks
Welcome to Apple Discussions, C Dot MooDy
is anyone else having this problem?
I have not seen any specific post of exactly your problem, but a few users have posted questions about how long Photo Booth can record, so they might be asking about a similar issue.
For instance, a search of iSight discussions about known Photo Booth recording time limit:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1450644&tstart=50
if so is there a solution for it?
For a solution, consider the same suggestions I offered in the topic linked above:
(1) Be sure you are keeping Photo Booth (PB) as the foreground app; i.e., you can always see "Photo Booth" by the in the upper left corner of your display. Don't click on the desktop or any other open window while recording. Recording stops on my Mac if PB is not the active app.
(2) Other things that might be contributing to your problem:
• Don't let your Mac go to sleep or allow its screen saver to work while you are recording.
• Check and, if necessary, modify settings of background apps that might be interrupting your Mac during your PB movie recording. Examples would include Mail checking for new email, iCal executing an alarm, your Software Update... performing its scheduled check for software updates.
I do not know that one of those might be your problem, but if you can find no other cause, and if you must record long clips with PB, consider any of those ideas you think they might have an impact.
(3) Also consider these suggestions If your Macbook runs slowly or exhibits any other problems in addition to your PB issue.
(4) If all else fails, you might try iMovie to see if it works better for recording longer movie clips on your Macbook. While not a one-click app like PB, iMovie HD can add Video FX (Effects) after you have recorded your clip. If you cannot get PB working, iMovie might be worth considering as an alternative.
(5) If you would rather not use iMovie, perhaps a PB clone application like WebcamTweaker or Freak Show will work for what you want.
Please let us know how it goes.

Photo Booth froze while recording video and did not save
Hi-
I was in the middle of recording a video on Photo Booth for a school project. Before you go any further- I now know that I should have used iMovie or Quick Time to record, but I was having the same problem with freezing/lagging video. So I decided on using Photo Booth because it is what I am most familiar with.
It was about a 20 minute video and I noticed that the picture would freeze every so often, even right after I began recording, so I know it is not a size issue. I also do not have anything in my Photo Booth tray or library, so I know I have enough space.
Here's my issue: I pressed stop when I was done recording. But I got the infamous "spinning wheel of death." It didn't go away, even after 10 minutes so I force quit. I have located the recording in Finder. It says the name of the video, and the size, but the thumbnail is just the default QuickTime icon, not an icon.
How do I recover this? It's extremely important that I do. Hoping EZ Jim will respond! Thank you so much in advance.

Yes, you should have. Do so in future recordings that are important or longer than a couple of minutes.
l_kleiman wrote:... the picture would freeze every so often,...
Because your problem is the same with all three video recording applications, we can rule out application software as the cause of your trouble. Here are some possible causes and what you can do to try to solve them:
(1) Video recording is processor intensive. If you are also running many more apps than only the video app while you are recording, your Mac's processor may be working near its limit.
Restarting your Mac before recording video ensures you will not have interference from multiple user accounts or widgets (unless they are included as > System Preferences... > Account > Login iTems.
Remember that things like widgets and automatic checks for Mail, TimeMachine backups, iCal alarms, etc., and other background activities also add to your Mac's workload. The actions for the apps mentioned (and for most other such apps) can be disabled in "Preferences" for the apps that control them.
Disconnect all peripherals while you are recording video, and make your record monitoring window as small as possible. These suggestions help reduce processor power requirements while recording.
(2) Installing the maximum amount of RAM your MBP can use may help you. Your retailer can help you check what you have and install more if necessary.
(3) Alternatively, the cause of your symptoms May lie in your system software.
Consider the information in OS X Mountain Lion: If your Mac runs slowly. It applies equally to your OS X Lion system.
If you are not already running the latest Lion version, apply the OS X Lion Update 10.7.5 (Client Combo) update.)
l_kleiman wrote:... the picture would freeze ... even right after I began recording, so I know it is not a size issue. I also do not have anything in my Photo Booth tray or library, so I know I have enough space...
Neither freeze timing nor Photo Booth tray or library space tells you whether your startup disk has enough free ("Available") space for best operation.
Use your Mac's Finder > File > Get Info menu command to check available free space. Be sure you have LOTS of room (I keep 75% of my disk space free when recording video) on your MBP's disk.
Capture your movie clips on your MBP's startup disk rather than on an external drive which is almost certainly slower.
l_kleiman wrote:... when I was done recording... I force quit... but the thumbnail is ...not an icon. How do I recover this?...
If something here doesn't work, http://bit.ly/1An6zjD, your only remedy it to record the video again.
l_kleiman wrote:... Thank you so much in advance...
You're welcome. If you need to post back for other suggestions, please tell us the following:
0. What Lion version number you are using? You can find the version with the > About This Mac menu command.
1. Are you recording your video subjects in bright lighting?
2. Did your Mac ever record video properly? If so, what happened immediately before the problem first appeared? (new software, hardware, etc?)
3. How much free space is "Available" on your startup disk?
4. How much RAM is installed in your Mac?
5. If you added RAM, what brand (Apple, Crucial, Other World, etc.) did you install?
6. Have you used Apple Hardware Test to verify your RAM is all working? (If you don't know how to use AHT, see your MBP's User Guide.)
We will offer more specific suggestions based on the details in your response.

Photo booth = no sound if video 1 min.
I was messing around with photo booth on my macbook air running 10.5.2 and noticed that whenever I attempted to record a video longer than 1 minute the video would have no sound. If I recorded under a minute then the sound is fine. Anybody else having this problem? If so, how do you fix it?
Hello Borderdog
Perhaps your Dock's iCon is the problem.
Click and hold on your Dock's Photo Booth iCon. When the contextual menu opens, choose "Remove from Dock".
Then put a new Photo Booth iCon in your dock. (Open your applications folder and drag and drop that Photo Booth iCon to your dock. The original will stay in your Applications folder.)
Does it work right with the new iCon in the Dock?

Photo Booth is not recording video.
I click the camera, then the count starts. When it finishes the recording time is still 00:00:00 and stays there. Then I click to stop recording and my "video" says 00'00 in a white rectangle. What shoud I do?

Photo Booth Audio and Video are out of sync?
Hi. So there is this glitch that when I take videos on Photo Booth the audio and video are out of sync. This started after I upgraded to Mountain Lion, and since I use Photo Booth a lot, I really do care. Is there anyway that I can fix this until Apple fixes this bug? Thanks.
Extra Info: The first video I took was not out of sync, but after that they got more and more out of sync.I've read all the forums. It's a big problem for most Photobooth users, Apple acknowledges it, but does not yet have a fix.
The best solution I have come up with is to dump Photobooth (I know - it was a great program, wasn't it? But so was Hypercard) and use Quicktime to make videos. You'll have to spend a little more work savings or exporting, but at least Quicktime is free.
Just open Quicktime Player and under the File menu you'll see "Record New Movie."
The downward slide continues... -
Photo Booth: missing "live video" button?
I was trying to use the iSight camera in my iMac with Photo Booth (v. 1.2) to snap a portrait of myself and I ran into a curious problem. After snapping a few shots and clicking on the thumbnails at the bottom of the window, I tried to return to live video to set up another shot and was unable to do so. The help file tells me to "click the Live Video button below the image." Problem is, the only button below the image, other than the app links, is the shutter button. Clicking this snaps another picture, with no opportunity to set up in live video mode. I had to close and re-start Photo Booth to get live video again. Am I missing something obvious here?
Hi,
Manually click through the following folders
Home/Library/Preferences. Delete the com.apple.PhotoBooth.plist and restart Photo Booth.
This should return all the icons to the Tool Bar.

Photo booth - audio video out of sync problem
Hi
I'm using Mountain Lion 10.8.1 and Photo Booth 5.0
Photo Booth has severe audio video syncing problems!! When I record a video, the audio is out of sync with the video.
I managed to get it to "sort of" work: every time I want to record a video, I restart the program. I also wait a few seconds to say something after I started to record. Movies longer than a couple of minutes are always out of sync, even when I restart the program....
Untill now I haven't been able to find a sollution for this problem. I searched the web and more people are having these difficulties and don't know how to fix it either....
Maybe someone here knows the answer to fix this problem?
I hope apple will fix this problem in their next update???
Nice regards!Hi
I found the solution for the audio / video sync problem in Photo Booth!!!!!
Go to your Launchpad and open audio/midi configuration. Make sure that your input and output has the same settings. I changed the input and output to 2 channel 16-bit 44100,0 hz. And this did the trick for me!!
Now I can record as many video's after each other without restarting the program and they are all synced one hundred procent!!!!
PROBLEM SOLVED ;-)
