Problems with built in camera

just got the frame around my laptop screen replaced at the Apple store, and now the camera doesn't work.  Photobooth says that it's not connected. Any ideas of how to fix this?

You could try a bunch of other stuff, but then the store could just as easily pin the blame on something you do.   Instead, it is better to let the store show you how to make it work again to prove their repair was successful.  There is usually a warranty on all repairs.

  • Problems with built-in camera.  maybe just problems with photo booth?

    My camera works fine in video chat, like with skype, but in photo booth the effects don't work properly. The menus of effects are scrambled and instead of the squares of previewed effects that you select from, I only see warped images and text. When I select an effect, the camera is either zoomed in oddly, or the picture frame is shifted over halfway over to the left to the point where I can't see part of the image. The rest of the screen is either green or black when the latter happens.
    I have re-installed the newest version of photo booth several times, but this problem keeps coming up-- it was like this when I first got it. I have also tried to find the file where the preferences are kept, but it doesn't seem to exist.
    Any help is greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    I just figured out that problems I was having with iSight were because of a widget I had downloaded ... it's basically a 'mirror' widget ... it would play in the background ... and was disabling the iSight camera (message like 'you can't use PhotoBooth because you have another application open etc) ... doesn't sound like this is your problem but just for reference in case anybody else is having problems and has that widget you have to lose the widget to be able to use iSight.

  • I have a problem with my 4s camera which has come up recently. Everytime I take a picture and look it up via the 'Photos' app, it shows as blank. But when I click on edit on the blank picture, it comes up and I am able to save it back on my photo album.

But when I click on edit on the blank picture, it comes up and I am able to save it back on my photo album as a proper image. Besides, I have also experiences the camera working a bit wiered (slow and often blanks out the moment I am ready to take a photo). Any help on this pls?

    Hi Noob Søren
    There are a few things that are confusing in your question.
    As far as I know, you dont have to install Time Machine on this OS as it is already installed for you. You only need to connect a hard drive to your computer via firewire or usb, click on the Time Machine icon, Open Time Machine Preference in the drop down menu and select a disk: your connected hard drive.
    You can of course reformat this connected device, partition it into a few volumes to organise data if you so wish.
    I find it strange that your mac's hard drive is divided into two volumes... perhaps this was created through bootcamp?
    You can access the configuration of your hd through Applications/Utilities/Disk Utilities.
    Clicking on one of the icons on the right hand panel will bring the details of the contents of your hardDrive and volumes. From there you can decide to erase a partition, reformat etc....
    If your hd contains more than one volume, and one of them is empty, you could decide to remove it. Back up all your important data before doing so.
    Hope this helps

  • Problem with the back camera in iPhone 4 (Black Shadow)

    Hi, I have a problem with the back camera. When turned on I can see a black shadow on one side and when I take the photo, appears in all the photos.
    I searched on the Internet to resolve this problem but I haven't been successful. A friend told me that maybe it is dirt that was introduced into the cover but I don't think It's true.
    The iPhone haven't dropped me for some quite time and don't crashing.
    Look here is a photo to show you how the black shadow looks like:
    Please, anyone know what the problem can be?

    It certainly does work.
    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

    Hey, guys. Just faced a problem with the front camera on my iPhone 4. So, when it's enabled this thing is on screen and all the pictures taken on it also has it:

    I've never dropped the phone, it isn't jailbroken or unlocked, it was bought in Britain but using in Russia, the firmware is 4.2.1.

    Did you buy PSE in the mac app store? If not, just go to Help>Updates in the editor and update camera raw and you should be able to open the raw files in PSE 12 directly without the DNG converter.

  • My iPod touch 5G has a problem with its back camera, there's a dark spot on picture quality and won't focus, it will only focus on things 5-7 inches away from the iPod. Could I go to apple and see if they can repair it or give me a new one?

    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.

  • Having Problems with built in iSight

    Hi,
    I am having problems with the computer finding my built in iSight camera, I just updated to Mountain Lion and now no applications recognise it.
    I have tried turning it off and on again, and switching to different users, but none can identify a connected camera.
    Help?

    Hi englishguru,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    You may find the steps in this article helpful for troubleshooting the camera on your MacBook:
    How to Troubleshoot iSight
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2090
    Since you've determined that the behavior isn't user specific, try these steps:
    3. Find out if the computer recognizes the iSight
    Check System Profiler (in the Utilities folder, inside the Applications folder). Under the USB header, check to see if the iSight camera is detected.
    4. Reset SMC or PMU
    Reset your computer's SMC or PMU, and then check System Profiler again. (SMC reset instructions for iMac G5 (iSight), Intel-based iMacs; PMU reset instructions for MacBook and MacBook Pro.)
    If your built-in iSight camera is still not behaving correctly after trying all these steps, you may need to contact Apple or an Apple-Authorized Service Provider for service.
    Regards,
    Jeremy

  • Problems with built-in iSight and iChat! Nothing works!!

    Hello,
    i have a problem with my iChat, iChat said that no camera is connected, but the built-in iSight works with Photobooth!
    I read many Threads here but no solution works,
    there is also an entry in the system profiler USB --> built-in iSight
    I closed all other Aplications like Photobooth, iMovie and so on,
    than i checked the activity monitor.
    I changed the settings in iChat (bandwith) and Quicktime (bandwith)
    I did a PRAM reset...nothing changed!
    I did a SMC reset...also nothing changed!
    The built-in iSight doesnt works with Skype, too!
    Please help me!

    Hey, I hope people aren't getting annoyed by my compulsive posting, but I think this solution needs to be spread, it doesn't get enough publicity:
    the issue is that with 10.5.1, a certain quicktime component that acts as a USB controller for the iSight camera is given an expiry time (i.e., the file is given a feature similar to "trial periods"). This file is then deleted, and iSight ceases to function. All that need be done is to replace the component, by downloading it here:
    http://techslaves.org/index.php?PHPSESSID=q8frk8vf81l0f8echu6mj0plk0&action=tpmo d;dl=item16
    (disregard the version marking, it works for 10.5.2 in the very least)
    Copy it to ~/System/Library/Quicktime, then reboot and it should work.
