PhotoBooth flash not working after Mavericks update

Hey,
I have a mid-2010 13'' MBP and everything was fine up until last week when I updated to Mavericks from Lion. I try to take pictures on Photobooth (flash enabled), the screen flashes but the photo still comes out very dark and nothing happens, no matter if I'm in a dark room or not.
I've reinstalled the OS, restarted, changed permissions and all that but nothing works.
And this isn't the only application I've been having problems with - Dashboard sometimes doesn't open after sleep or it freezes a lot. I also think the computer is generally much slower. Really regretting this update.

The same happened to me, I don't know what is going on but my photo booth worked good until I updated to mavericks, pictures now are very dark with or without flash.

  • Smart Groups not working after Maverick update

    I can not send a message with my SMART group after I updated the Maverick.  Someone help!!!

    I have found that I can use Outlook 2011 if I boot my macbook up in safe mode (hold shift key down when restarting). Outlook then works, but does not have all functionality - for example I cannot search my emails, though I can sort them.
    This lets me get by for now, but it means of course that in safe mode there are many other things that the machine is not able to do so is only of use for checking emails.

  • Mail not working after Maverick update!

    I'm having a similar problem with Mail since the Maverick update.
    I can open mail but most of my mailboxes are missing and it won't let me click on any of the remaining ones.
    You can bring up any of the drop down menus and use as if it's working perfectly... but the mail window itself cannot be used?
    I have brought the Mail window up and then clicked on enter time machine but no back ups appear... i endlessly float through the background?!
    Everything else works on my Mac?
    Can anyone help or maybe seen a thread that would apply to my circumstances?
    Any thoughts are greatly appreciated.

    I have installed Mavericks, but my mail, Version 7 (1822), will no longer get new mail from the server.
    I have to do it manually.
    Any suggestions will be most appreciated.

  • Preview, Fontbook, Maps not working after Mavericks update

    Updated to Mavericks and discovered that a bunch of my mac apps have decided to stop working. I click on them, see a flash and the app just dissapers. Anyone having the same issue? Any solutuons?
    Running the first-gen Macbookpro Retina.

    Boot up holding command-r keys into your Recovery Volume.
    First run Disk Utility > Repair Disk, if you get errors run until no errors reported or reports "the disk cannot be fixed". Then, choose Reinstall OS X. This will be an install "in place" and shouldn't effect any of your own data or settings.
    That said, you should always have a backup as anything can happen at any time.

  • IBooth camera flash not working after Mavericks v10.9.2 upgrade

    I recently upgrade my laptop and I noticed that the flash in iBooth isn't working. I enabled the flash and it does flash, but the picture taken still appreas dark as if no flash was even used! Any idea how I can fix this?

    I could not find any app called "iBooth."  If your problem is limited only to this one app, contact its developer or see its Support or FAQ info for help.  Perhaps all you need to do is add more light to the room or sit closer to your display when you make a picture?

  • HP DeskJet 990c duplex not working after Maverick update

    Try the 
    Deskjet 3520 All-in-One Printer Series driver
    I used this with my moms old deskjet 990c printer and now she can print duplex in Maverick.
    You can go to layout and enable double sided printing.
    Good luck!!!
    These updates are frustrating, when you don't care about wireless printing, they should just tell you which driver still supports the old basics.

    Hello darrenfromsolihull,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    To troubleshoot this issue where you're unable to add a printer, please follow the steps outlined below.
    Follow these steps until the issue is addressed:
    Make sure that the printer is powered on, has ink / toner, and that there are no alerts on the printer’s control panel. Note: If you cannot clear an alert on the printer's control panel, stop here and check the printer's documentation or contact the manufacturer for support.
    Ensure the printer is properly connected to a USB port on the Mac or AirPort base station / Time Capsule. If the printer is a network-capable printer, make sure that it is properly connected to your home network.
    Use Software Update to find and install the latest available updates. If an update is installed, see if the issue persists.
    Open the Print & Scan pane or Print & Fax (Snow Leopard) pane in System Preferences.
    Delete the affected printer, then add the printer again.
    If the issue persists, try these additional steps:
    Reset the printing system, then add the printer again.
    If the issue still persists, reset the printing system again.  Download and install your printer's drivers. Then, add the printer again.
    Contact the printer vendor or visit their website for further assistance.

  • Hover not working after Mavericks update

    Just updated the OS on my Macbook Pro this morning. I'm a web designer/developer and the navigation of the site i'm working on changes background color when you hover over the link. Prior to the update the action worked. Now it doesn't (checked in Firefox, Safari and Chrome). I checked on another Mac pre-update and the hover action works there.
    Any thoughts?

    This is actually a bug that has been happening since the latest 2 iterations of OS X. Every now and then, it will start working again. There is nothing wrong with the mouse, just the OS.
    I acutally posted a thread about it almost 1 year ago. No surprise, Apple has made no attempt to even acknowledge the issue:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/21522392#21522392
    The only solution that has worked for me is a 3rd party app called SteerMouse. Try out the 30-day trial and see if it helps:

    Re: Safari 7.0 zoom not working after Mavericks upgrade.

    Hey there sarunelis,
    It sounds like after updating to 10.9 the zoom function is not functioning at all. It sounds like you may need to check for 3rd party plugins. This article will help you check for that.

  • Why is Time machine backup not working after Mavericks upgrade?

    Why is Time machine backup not working after Mavericks upgrade?

    I had the same problem due to the Fire Wire port.  Apple tested it told me it is OK!, I tried a new cable, and have tested both ports on my back up device.  I find it strange that as soon as I installed Mavericks.  The drive does work using USB.  It could be a coincidence, I don't absolutely know at this point, my back up drive ports could stop working, but I doubt it!
