Photo booth won't take any photos

Photo booth won't take any photos or videos, it opens fine but when I click on the button nothing happens, no error message or nothing. I have updated Mavericks twice to solve the problem, but no joy, I can use Photo booth in the guest user no problem but not as the Administrator, what is it looking for? Is there is a permissions problem?

it's just happened to me too! any chance you've sorted it out? maybe you can let us know how you did it?! no one seems to be responding!

  • HT5934 How do I stop this update uploading to my mobile? Because I can't take any photos at all and the update is using up every inch of my mobile's space,not allowing me to keep all of my photos even though I've not got that many on there in the first pl

    How do I stop updates uploading on my mobile please? Because I cannot take any photos at all on it as the iOS update program 7.0.3 is hogging up every inch of my mobile's space, not allowing me to keep my photos even though I've not that many anyway. Help?

    Turn off Wifi in settings and then turn it on again; this will pause your device's update from updating.
    To stop automatic updates of applications, go to settings, Itunes&appstore, scroll down to automatic downloads and turn off updates
    Hope I've helped

  • My photo booth won't close down -

    i am trying to close down programs but the photo booth won't close i've tried apple Q but the little rainbow circle keeps spinning.. help!

    I'm no expert but try and click on the desktop behind the iPhoto window so that it says "Finder" in the upper left. Once you get that screen, the color wheel should go away. Click on the Apple and select - Force Quit. Select iPhoto from the list and it will force it to close.

  • Can the resolution be changed when taking a photo.  When I take a photo it is always 1MEG or more.  Like to reduce this so that the photos are easily e-mailed.  Any help?

    When you email a picture from Photos, you can choose the size.

  • Despite adding more storage = 20GB my devices tell me that I can not take any photos/video, why would this be?

    Despite adding more storage = 20GB my devices tell me that I can not take any photos/video, why would this be?

    Because the issue is that you don't have sufficient available space on your phone, not that you don't have enough space in your iCloud account.  Adding storage in iCloud does not give you more space on your phone.
    You can check your available space by going to Settings>General>Usage.  You'll need to delete or sync some data off your phone to freee up more space.

  • I can't use Photobooth - when I open the app, I get the message: "Photo Booth couldn't save your photos - Photo Both encountered an error when trying to save your photos. You photos cannot be saved at this time."

    Back up all data.
    This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
    I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, they may not work as described.
    Step 1
    If you have more than one user account, and the one in question is not an administrator account, then temporarily promote it to administrator status in the Users & Groups preference pane. To do that, unlock the preference pane using the credentials of an administrator, check the box markedAllow user to administer this computer, then reboot. You can demote the problem account back to standard status when this step has been completed.
    Triple-click anywhere in the following line on this page to select it:
    { sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR.. ; sudo chown -R $UID:staff ~ $_ ; sudo chmod -R u+rwX ~ $_ ; chmod -R -N ~ $_ ; } 2> /dev/null
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use  another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
    You'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
    The command may take a few minutes to run, or perhaps longer if you have literally millions of files in your home folder. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.
    Step 2 (optional)
    Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1 or if it doesn't solve the problem.
    Boot into Recovery. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
    Utilities ▹ Terminal
    from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open.
    In the Terminal window, type this:
    res
    Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
    resetpassword
    Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
    Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
    Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
    Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
    Select
     ▹ Restart
    from the menu bar.

  • In icloud, do photos pushed to other devices if i open photo stream after i take the photo??

    do photos taken before activating photo stream pushed to other devices??

    After activating photo stream on a device, any photos taken later are push to icloud's stream, then any other devices that have photo stream turned on should receive them.
    Note that for a photo in photo stream to be synced to icloud, the device must be connected to wifi and the photo app on the device must be turned off.  (This means shut down, not just closed.)

  • We have one iPhone3s w the lates ios6. have selected iCloud backup for photos but do not see any photos when I log on to iCloud

    we have one iPhone3gs w the lates ios6. have selected iCloud backup for photos but do not see any photos when I log on to iCloud. How can I get all my photos from the iPhone3GS to iCloud?

    You can't see inside a backup file on icloud, thus you can't view your photos at icloud.com.

  • My iSight light is permanently on - but photo booth won't work??

    Just got my macbook, and since I turned it on the isight light has been on. Then I tried to open photo booth but the screen is blank and its capable of taking the picture but there is no image. Anyone know what is wrong with my isight camera or what I can do to fix it? the light is on but its not taking pictures what is wrong with it?

    Well, I don't have quite the same problem, but I may be able to help. What happens to me is that I sometimes turn my Macbook on, then my light will pop up at boot up. To fix this, I usually just shut down, and reboot. However, it always comes back.
    To help you, this is what I think you should do. Power down the Macbook, and unplug any power supply to it. Take out the battery and hold down the power button for 5 seconds (I usually hold it in longer just to make sure). This fixed my problem for about... 4/5 days. But it always just comes back.
    I'm praying Apple is working on this somehow... but with the arrival of the new Macbooks, I'm worried we all might be out in the rain with this one, because a lot of apple users are having this problem.
    I hope the battery trick works for ya though! If not, you may need to take it in. Good luck!

  • PHOTO BOOTH FREEZES WHEN OPENING ANY OTHER APP

    I am a fairly new Mac user after using Windows PCs for many decades so please bear with me on this. I purchased a new unibody MacBook Pro a few months ago and everything works as advertised except for one thing. If I am looking at myself in photo booth the video is fine. However, if I open any other application---browser, iwork, iphoto, anything----my picture on photo booth freezes. The picture unfreezes and returns to normal video as soon as I close the other application. I bought a MacBook Pro for my 14 year old last Summer and it has the same problem which leads me to believe there must be some tweak or some fairly obvious fix that I am overlooking. Because of this issue neither laptop can be used for video chat--just won't work. I would appreciate any suggestions that anyone might be able to offer. Both MacBook Pros are fully updated and both are 15" screens. If I change user accounts the same problem occurs. Spoke on the phone with one of the "geniuses" at the local Apple Store and he said he had never heard of this issue which seems strange since it occurs on both of our Macs---unlikely coincidence. Hope there is some "genius" on this forum that can save the day here. Thanks in advance for any assistance or advice.

    I have solved my issue after several attempts and guidance from the Apple Community. I found a posting that that stated to reinstall OS X 10.8.2.
    1. I backup my mac to me Time Capsule.
    2. I reinstalled OS X 10.8.2
    3. I deleted from preference file "com.apple.iPhoto.plist" (Open "Finder". Click "Go" menu. Then press "Option" key. The "Go" menu will display "Library" which you should click.Then go to "Preferences" folder. The file you should delete is under that folder.)
    I then opened iPhoto.
    Whala it opened with no issues at this point....
    Happy camper now. Hopefully this may help others as I spent all weekend working on this fix.

  • HP x64 printer--won't take glossy photo paper

    This printer will not take glossy photo paper--it simply grinds and message reads "Out of paper".  It will print matte photo paper and regular paper, but not glossy photo.  I bought HP glossy photo paper and that won't even work. 

    Hi,
    What is the exact paper type?
    The printer specifications does not list Glossy Paper as a supported media, any supported media is listed under Paper-handling specifications > Supported photo paper:

    What is the exact media type and weight, that may also help identifyig the issue, the exact paper type should be listed on its packaging...

    I got this same message from having installed Leopard (10.5)
    and then because the "great Check Point VPN" software doesn't support Leopard I reinstalled Tiger (10.4) from supplied CD's
    Yes, photo booth left on my machine was version 2.0.1
    and will NOT run under Tiger
    1) first, using Finder, locate your "photo booth" and rename it [or delete it]
    2) using Os X tiger cd 1 find the "Install Bundled software only" icon
    3) Pick "custom install", then expand the "Bundled Applications" until you see Photo Booth
    4) click ALL of them off, except leave Photo Booth flagged [when I pick it, office 2004 TEST drive turns on too, unflag that too]
    5) Press the Upgrade button [don't select easy install, as that will install EVERYTHING]
    6) Photo Booth shows in your Dock and it works

  • Photo Booth won't load after upgrade to Leopard

    I just upgraded 4.5 year old iMac from Tiger (10.4x) to Leopard (10.5.8) and now Photo Booth (v.2.0.3) doesn't load. Any suggestions?

    Hi BDAqua- Just tried your suggestion and got nothing while launching Photo Booth, but there were messages from earlier attempts. I'm going to attach a screen capture here of Console to see if you can understand them.
    To give you a little more info, The Photo Booth screen appears on my daughter's iMac, but she just gets the spinning beach ball so we force quit.
