Photobooth wont take pictures or video

I can't seem to get Photobooth to take any pictures or video since I've upgraded to Lion. The camera turns on, but when I click the shutter button, nothing happens. No matter the setting. The live effects are working, but It won't take the picture. No count down, no flash, nothing. I recently did a 10.7.2 combo update. I also didn't work with 10.7.1. I don't remember the last time it worked, but I don't think it ever worked in Lion.
Thanks

I had exactly the same problem.
I just deleted the Photo Booth folder along with the Photo Booth Library that was inside it, relaunched the application and it was working again.
There was nothing in it anyway.

My Photobooth wont take pictures/video

I recently updated my Mac to OS X v 10.9.1. After that my photobooth doesn't work and my photobooth library is gone. What should I do?

Hello Albert3232,
It sounds like you cannot use either camera, nor the LED as a camera. I want to recommend a couple of things here.
First, close all the open and running apps on the phone:
iOS: Force an app to close
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
Double-click the Home button.
Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
Swipe the app up to close it.
When you have done that restart the phone:
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
If the issue persists, I would next backup your device to iTunes, and restore it:

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,

I could not take picture at video mode after updating the software to IOS 7

I have iPad 3 and update the software to IOS 7 recently,after updating of software I could not take picture in videos mode and I could take only photos.please advise how to resolve this issue.

Swipe up or down to select options.
You can do it in the middle of the screen.

I used my i pad for the first time to take pictures and videos. Do I download it on my I mac before using it as a power point presentation? I also want to separate my pictures and my videos?

You can import the videos and photos using iPhoto or Image Capture on your Mac.
Connect the iPad to the Mac with the cable and launch either of those two applications on the Mac. Your iPad should appear as a device in the left side of the app. Click on the iPad name and then you should have access to all of the photos and Vidoes in the camer roll and you can import them onto the Mac.
Im not sure what the reference is to Power Point in this case. You can use the imported photos and videos in a Power Point presentation after you import them to the Mac.
Are you trying to create a Slide Show on the iPad? Is that what you mean by a Power Point presentation?

Mi camara no funciona para tomar fotos (i can't take pictures but video is right!!!)

hola:

the BB send a message: Failed to start the camera, close other applications before restarting the camera
somebody tell me how can repair this problem?

Did you set up Log and Transfer to capture the AVCHD footage that camera shoots, or is it set to expect something else?

How can I take pictures n videos the same as the screen?

How can I make my pictures n videos come
Out as big as the screen?

but the problem is Can we make sure the string we get
from table.getValueAt(r,c).toString
is the same as the string show on the JTable UI.That probably depends on the TableCellRenderer that is asked to render that particular column. I would assume that the default behavior is what you want, i.e. that the renderer uses toString() on the Object.

Photobooth not working, can't take pictures/record videos!!! HELP!

I wanted to record a video for a friend and it says to connect the camera but the built isight is not even detected and, I tried checking other applications that use the isight camera and none of them detect it...HELP PLEASE!

Welcome to  Discussions, ggMACuser88
If you get no better answer from iNtel Mac users, disconnect all peripherals (except your modem & router, if you use one,) restart your MacBook, and quit all apps but the ONE you are testing while trying to solve your problem. The try the following possible fixes:
(1) Try the easiest thing first. Test immediately following your restart to see whether your built-in iSight works now. Sometimes merely restarting your Mac will restore its function.
(2) If restarting does not resolve your problem, repair permissions using Disk Utility and test again to see whether that is the problem. If you have difficulty finding DU, use your Finder > Go > Utilities menu command to look in your "Utilities" folder.
For more details, search your Mac's Disk Utility > Help for "Repairing disk permissions" (without the quotation marks,) or look at this kBase article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1452
Repair permissions and then check to see if your camera works correctly.
(3) If you still have a problem, follow all of Apple's iSight troubleshooting recommendations:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2090
The "PMU reset" suggested there can sometimes resolve iSight problems.
(4) If the problem remains, you can try the following:
• Backup all important files.
• Repair permissions.
• Download and apply the Mac OS X 10.5.6 Combo Update.
http://support.apple.com/downloads/MacOS_X_10_5_6_ComboUpdate
• Repair permissions again immediately following the restart that completes the install.
• Test your iSight again to see if it works now with more than one app.
Using the above process to apply the Combo Updater sometimes solves strange problems, especially if you normally use your Mac's Software Update... to update Mac OS.
(5) If your iSight works after propelry applying the Combo Updater, reconnect your disconnected peripherals and check again. (To eliminate the possibility of a conflict with one individual peripheral, I reconnect peripherals one-at-a-time, testing between each reconnection.)
(6) If your built-in iSight still does not work with any app or show as a USB device in your Mac's System Profiler utility, contact Apple or an Apple-Authorized Service Provider for service.
One of the above will get your iSight working again.

My Iphone 4 wont show pictures or video using composite original cable

Im using the latest software and it still wont work! I have a LG 2011 model TV and I have tried diffrent other TV`s. But it wont work! And yes, the colours match and I am using the right connections. The sound is workin though. The setting are set to PAL and widesreeen (I live in Norway) on the Iphone settings. Can sombody help me?

Not sure if you ever got an answer, but was having the same problem until I found that it will only show some types of things on the TV. So do a short video with your camera, connect everything up, then play the video and you should see something on the iphone that says playing to the TV.
At least that way you're confirmed that you have a good connection. So basically, keep in mind that not all applications support it. Another good one to test with is Youtube.

My ipod touch 5g wont take pictures, i downloaded at least 4 different camera apps but when i try to take a picture, it just goes back to home screen. what do i need to do?

?

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Does anyoneknow how toget the camera icon bak on my ipad2? i cant take pictures or videos rite now

does anyone know how toget the camera app back on your ipad2.i cant use my camera anymore,cuz some how the icon get erased

now its asking for a passcode.after i got to restrictions it didnt go to camers

Why is it necessary for this app to record audio, take pictures and video WITHOUT my permission?

Playstore permissions to install Firefox.

It it likely due to the HTML5 features of firefox, it should ask you if it wants to use your camera, before actually using it.

IPhone5 no longer importing pictures and videos correctly

I have been able to import pictures and videos from my iPhone 5 to my Windows 7 Pro computer for the last 2 years. However, a few months ago, I couldn't get the iPhone to appear on the computer, so I went into Device Manager and Uninstalled the driver, then plugged the phone in again to let it reinstall the driver. That worked, but now when I try to download again, everything on my computer (browsing on windows, windows import manager, Sony Play Memories) says that there are no files to import. I can take pictures and videos and when I try again, I get the same message, so it's certainly not true. If I browse to the files using explorer, I go to Computer >> Apple iPhone and Internal Storage shows 383 MB free of 14.7 GB. When I browse further down to Internal Storage >> DCIM, the folder is blank. I tried the same trick of deleting and reinstalling the drivers with the same results. I don't know what else to try.

I solved my own problem. Apparently, you now have to log into (unlock) the phone for it to work. That was not the case on some earlier version of IOS.

HT201302 my pictures and videos are not in camera roll. The camera works but the pictures on not on camera roll.

My Iphone takes pictures and video but then they do not show up on the camera roll. It says there are no pictures or video. How can I fix this problem. I have tried reset and synching.
Thanks

If your pictures and video are not on the camera roll, I do not think your iPhone is taking pictures and video.
You have already tried resetting and restarting your device. Next, check whether your camera has been disabled in Settings > General > Restrictions > Camera. If not, ask your Apple Authorized Service provider to check your device or contact Apple Support for help: http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/contact/
