Photo Booth suddenly not supported by Graphics Card

Hi all,
I've got a serious problem and need it to be rectified as soon as possible.
Ok, here's the story - I've had my MacBook Pro since 2006, Photo Booth has worked like a breeze. In 2007, I installed Mac OS Leopard and Photo Booth still worked like a breeze.
Just last week, I installed Adobe Illustrator CS3 & Adobe Photoshop CS3.
Today, I open up Photo Booth to take some pictures for an assignment and I get an error message that says:
"Photo Booth cannot open
The graphics card installed in this computer does not support Photo Booth."
One thing that confuses me is that iChat and Skype still work fine using the iSight built in, it's just Photo Booth that refuses to open.
I don't understand, Photo Booth has worked perfectly fine for the last 2 years and now suddenly my graphics card installed doesn't support Photo Booth. Please, I need any help I can get to rectify this problem, it's never happened to me before so I'm quite worried about it.
The reason why I need this issue to be fixed as soon as possible is because I need the PhotoBooth effects for one of my assignments in Photography. Please help me, I need this to be fixed urgently. All help given will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Try using PhotoBooth in another user account--create a new one if necessary. Does it open?
Also repair disk permissions using your Install Disc 1 DVD. To do this:
1) Insert the DVD and restart your computer while holding down the C key.
2) Once the Installer has loaded, hit the enter/return key to move past the Language window.
3) Move your mouse to the top of the screen--some menus should be there. Click Utilities and choose *Disk Utility*.
4) In the left-hand column, click your hard drive's icon. (xx.x GB Fujitsu, for example) If you have Windows installed through Boot Camp, choose the "Macintosh HD" icon.
5) Click the *Repair Permissions* button. This may take more than a few minutes to complete--be patient.
6) If anything CAN'T be repaired, make a note of it and post it here. When the repair finishes, restart the computer.

"Photo Booth cannot open" due to graphics card, but nothing has changed!

I've been using Photo Booth on my computer, and it's worked for over a year. Yesterday, when I tried to open the program, I received an error message:
"Photo Booth cannot open
The graphics card installed in this computer does not support Photo Booth."
Which is strange, because nothing on my computer changed since I last used Photo Booth - in fact, nothing has changed whatsoever! What could be the problem? It's a Mac OSX 10.5.6 with 2.16 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo.

Photo booth can not be run

Hi all !
Everything was working perfectly and since my last update, photo booth doesn't want to start :
The error message is as follow :
"Photobooth ne peut pas s'ouvrir
La carte graphique installée dans cet ordinateur ne prend pas en charge Photo Booth."
Translated :
"Photo booth can not be run :
The graphics card installed in this computer does not work with Photo Booth."
I tested other apps and it works fine
Need help !
Thanks a lot !

Hi,
I think I'm having the same problems as the OP. When I click on Photo Booth to open, I get an error message that says:
"Photo Booth cannot open
The graphics card installed in this computer does not support Photo Booth."
The built-in iSight camera appears to be working fine with iChat and Skype, it just refuses to work with Photo Booth, it's worked perfectly for the last 2 years, I don't understand why it's doing this now.
Could you please provide me with a step by step guide on how to fix this problem.
Thanks!
Any help is much appreciated.

Camcorder video error: "Unable to record. Resolution not supported by memory card."

We purchased two Samsung Droid Charges the first day they were released and recently they've both been getting this error after 8-15 seconds of recording in HD (1280x720): "Warning: Unable to record. Resolution not supported by memory card."
Called Verizon tech support, but they referred me to Samsung. Not knowing much about micro SDHC cards, I was alarmed to discover that the factory pre-installed 32gb card is only rated class 2 for speed. Samsung told me you need a minimum of speed class 4 or higher to record at this resolution. The only problem is you need an SD card installed in order to use the camcorder, period. In other words, all of us who payed an arm and a leg for the best phone Verizon sells now have to go buy our own micro sd card that actually supports all of the phone features as advertised?! The lowest prices I've seen for the faster cards are $70. Are we the only two Charge owners experiencing this problem? I've read somewhere that lower speed class cards may initially support faster speeds than they are rated until they accumulate more files, so the problem may go undetected for some time until you have more files that are stored in different locations on the card (making them difficult to access at the faster speeds). This may explain why are the first ones to get this error since we've had the phones the longest and only 50% free space remaining on the SD card. Oh, Samsung also said they won't be able to replace your card for one that has the proper speed rating. Kind of seems like false advertising to say a feature is available (HD camcorder), and then not mention the fact that the memory card provided isn't sufficient for that feature (separate upgrade required). Anyone else sharing the same frustrations? Ideas?

Thanks for the response. I've tried everything on that page. It's not an issue with the cable, or firewire port or the cable being connected properly, as the iSight camera works fine with iChat. I've disconnected the only other firewire device on the computer, didn't make any difference. Camera works fine in iChat, so it's not the camera itself. And, as I mentioned in the post, the same camera, if hooked up to my laptop, works just fine recording in QuickTime. So, it appears to be an issue with the QuickTime installation on this computer. I've done a search for the same error I'm getting and found some other occurrences with the same problems, but none that offered a solution.

Vista can not detect my graphic card ATI HD2600 on Satellite A210-128

Hallo,
Can someone help me with this issue?
I have a Toshiba Satellite A210-128 laptop with vista separately on DVD, but it seems that the dvd is damaged and I can not use it any more.
I have installed on my laptop a brand new Vista from the original DVD that Im using it on my desktop, but the problem is that vista can not detect my graphic card hd2600.
So Im stuck...... I tried to install the ati driver from the Toshiba update site but I get a error because ccc can not detect a graphic card ?????/
What to do????
It is something special with the DVD that i have from Toshiba ?????
Thank you very much.

The whole issue is really mysterious. In my opinion there are two options;
Either your have used and tried to install a wrong graphic driver or there is something wrong with your GPU chip.
Are you 100% that you tired an right graphic driver from the Toshiba European driver page?
If yes, then I recommend contacting the ASP in your country because this could be really an hardware issue.
Furthermore I found you second posting in other thread

and I think more and more that this must be an graphic card issue.

Isight works with photo booth but not in ichat or google talk or skype?

isight works with photo booth but not in ichat or google talk or skype?

Hi
Is this an Internal or External iSight ?
In iChat, in the Video Menu (This is to the right of Buddies and may read Audio) is Camera Enabled Ticked ?
If it reads Audio open the Connection Doctor from that same menu.
In the connection Doctor open the Capabilities tab
Does it say your Internet Connection is too slow ?
At this point I would need to know which iChat Version.
However also look in the View Menu.
Is Show VIdeo Status ticked ? (this shows green Icons next to your Buddy Pic and those of your Buddies
Next go to the iChat Menu > Preferences > Video Section
Do you see a preview here ?
Re: GoogleTalk
Have you enabled TALK on your Google Account Settings ?
You need to have a Google Mail ID (Not any other sort of Google ID)
Have you downloaded the Intel only Web Browser Plug-in to do Video in a Web Browser.

Photo booth is not opening after installing maverick

I updated my computer to Maverick and now photo booth is not opening. I could care less about the application itself but there are pictures that I really do not want to lose. It says that "You can't use this version of the application "Photo Booth" with this version of OS X. You have "Photo Booth" 3.0.3." I can't find any information on updating the application and I can't find any way to recover the pictures from the application. Please help.

You're trying to open an outdated copy of the application. Delete the copy and use the one in the Applications folder. Never move or copy built-in applications.

Mail, preview, photo booth, will not open

After installing Leopard (on my 3rd attempt, clean install) mail, preview, and photo booth will not open at all. i'm opening them from the applications folder, not from the dock. i get an error message that says the programs unexpectedly quit. hopefully i don't have to do another installation. 3 is enough.
i thought it was interesting that these 3 programs are in order alphabetically, and every other program has opened fine.
any help/ideas would be great

Welcome to Apple Discussions:
You might check whether this is a preference corruption issue. For example, you can find the Mail preference file in [Username]/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist
Drag this file to your desktop (so you don't lose it). Then try relaunching Mail. If that works, a similar process might fix your problem with the other applications, too.
Please post back here if that helps. If it does, please mark this posting as having "Solved" your question. Thanks

Photo booth camera not conected

I keep getting "camera disconected " in photo booth i leave the computer in sleep mode most of the time.I have to restart, for the camera to work again then it disconects itself when photo booth has not been used for a while ?

Any other camera applications such as iChat open? I think the camera is attached to the USB bus, do you have any non-Apple devices connected to the USB bus that may not like the power drain of Energy Saver after it turns on (i.e. the machine goes to sleep)? This can cause cascading issues down the whole USB bus.

Photo Booth will not open. My camera works well with other apps.

Photo Booth will not open. My camera works well with other apps.

try running it in either 32 or 64bit mode and see if this changes the experience. Locate the icon in Finder, right click "get-info" on it and see the checkmarks "run in 32bit mode" ..
on Lion some users had trouble opeining pb when "iglasses" was installed, also a thing to check.
Else repair permissions of the disk, using Apples disk utility app.

Photo Booth is not detecting iSight

In the last couple days, whenever I have opened Photo Booth to take a picture, it doesn't automatically turn on my iSight camera. however, the camera works fine in iChat. When I click on the "Camera" menu when Photo Booth is open, it has the Built in iSight camera selected, but the green light does not turn on and I only have a black screen and can't take a picture.

Supported NVIDIA graphics cards for GPU acceleration in Premiere CS 5.5

I will buy a graphic card from the list below.
GeForce GTX 285 (Windows and Mac OS)
GeForce GTX 470 (Windows)
GeForce GTX 570 (Windows)
GeForce GTX 580 (Windows)
Those are some of cards from" Nvidia Official Site" that are supported for GPU accelerate.
http://www.adobe.com/products/premiere/tech-specs.html
Problem is I could not find any of GTX series neither in Sarajevo nor in İstanbul. There is only GTX 560 from Asus. It is almost $260. So, if I buy this card, will it accelerate my GPU for pure HD video editing ? I believe it can but it is not in the list.

eXtreme Power Supply Calculator
Get the Pro version, set system load to 100% and capacitor aging to 30% and then add 10-15% for safety to the calculated wattage.
Navigate to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Premiere Pro CS5, open cuda_supported_cards.txt and add a line like:
GeForce GTX 560 Ti or the card you get and then save the file. Beware to get a version with at least 1 GB VRAM of the DDR5 type.
Look here: Benchmark Results and see comparable systems at rank 476 and 477 out of 492 today. That is why I said the system is underpowered and the only way to solve it is by getting a new system.
