Problems with camera and photo booth

My camera shutter will not open, and in photo booth, the red drape repeatedly closes. I have closed the apps and also reset my iPad, but nothing works. Do I need to bring it to Apple?

I have not tried it, but found an article that explains how to sync your iPad to a new computer: <How to Sync an iPad With a New Computer - eHow.com>. I know you can lose your data if you do not do it right!
Another article is at: <How to Sync an iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch with a new computer>.
Someone else may have a better reference, perhaps from Apple.

Problems with camera and photos

Hi so I just got the new iphone 5s and every time I try opening up my pictures or just using the camera, it quickly returns to the home screen. How do I fix this?

Problems with iPhoto and Photo Booth

I can't open or use iPhoto. When I click on the icon on the dock, a pop-up comes up and says I "cannot create new library" because I "do not have enough access privileges". Then when I click Photo Booth a pop-up says Photo Booth cannot save any photos. I'm having trouble opening some programs. If it's helpful, my macbook pro is a 10.6.8 version. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

Camera and photo booth is disappeared

Camera and photo booth is disappeared

These are both native apps that came with the ipad and cannot be deleted. Check in settings/general/restrictions to make sure they have not been disabled. Check in folders or on another screen. If you cannot find them then go to settings/general/reset and reset home screen layout

Web cameras and photo booth

I just picked up a Creative Live ! Cam video IM Pro.
The device is UVC complaint. However it will quit occasionally while in photo booth and I will need to unplug/plug from the usb port to get it operating again. This web cam stuff is all new to me. Can I use this device to record into Imovie ? I'm running 10.5.2on a mac pro.
Thanks

You're welcome, joe musich
what can I do with the camera I've got with imovie ?
Nothing directly with iMovie.
As shown in this Apple kBase article, you need an external (Firewire) iSight or other "IIDC" webcam for recording directly into iMovie with any external webcam. All IIDC webcams connect via Firewire, so no external USB webcam will work to record directly into iMovie.
You can work around this limitation by recording video clips with an application that can use USB webcams like QuickTime Pro. Then import the saved clip into iMovie for editing.
FYI, the built-in iSights in many current Mac models are the only USB webcams that work and allow live monitoring of what is being recorded directly with iMovie. EVERY external USB camera, whether camcorder or webcam, would need to record the video first and import that into iMovie for editing.
Will I be able to see live action form the camera in imovie ?
No, not with your external USB cam and iMovie. Using QT Pro or another app that can record directly from your USB webcam, you will be able to monitor the video action in that app.
Or do I have to import something I capture with the camera ?
Yes, when using your USB webcam and trying to edit with iMovie. To get video from your (or any) external USB cam into iMovie, you must import a previously saved compatible file.
Please let us know if you need any other info before you can mark this topic "Answered."

New problem with camera and imovie 08

i have two questions already posted about my camera not being found by imovie 08 except that it did it the first time and wouldn't any time after that.
well here's the new problem. as i'm sitting here trying to find some other post that could help me with my dilemna imovie opens and shows my impost screen but says "communication error". with my first joy and imovie working again came confusion about this error. the error makes it so i cannot import video because the next "error" that comes up says my camera is disconnected or off but even this is farther than i've gotten in weeks. i don't know what this error means and i still can't import video. anyone have any suggestions as to how to fix this?

Hi
Test another FW-Cable.
Test Your Camera on another Mac so that DV-in still works OK
Toogle in iMovie pref: Play-back via Camera (on<->off some times)
Other ways to import Your miniDV tape:
Use another Camera. There where tape play-back stations from SONY
but they costed about 2-4 times a normal miniDV Camera.
If Your Camera works on another Mac. Make an iMovie movie project here and move it
over to Your Mac via an external hard disk.
(HAS TO BE Mac OS Exchange formatted - USB/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange WILL NOT DO)
(Should be a FireWire one - USB/USB2 performs badly)
What Camcorder ?
FireWire - Sure not using the accompany USB-Cable but bought a 4-pin to 6-pin FW one ?
Using WHAT ? :
• Mac OS - X.5.4 ?
• QuickTime version ? (This is the heart in both iMovie and FinalCut)
• iMovie 8 (7.1.?) ?
• iMovie HD 6 (6.0.4/3) ?
Free space on internal (start-up) hard disk ? (Others don't count)
Does Your Camera work on another Mac ?
Sorry to say it is to easy to turn the 6-pin end of the FW-cable 180 deg wrong.
This is lethal to the A/D-chip in the Camera = needs an expensive repair.
(Hard to find out - else than import/export to another Mac ceased to work
everything else is OK eg recording and playback to TV)
Delete iMovie pref file may help sometimes. I rather start a new account, log into
this and have a re-try.
from LKN 1935:
Hi Bengt W, I tried it all, but nothing worked. Your answer has been helpfull insofar as all the different trials led to the conclusion that there was something wrong with my iMovie software. I therefore threw everything away and reinstalled iMovie from the HD. After that the exportation of DV videos (there has not been any problem with HDV videos) to my Sony camcorders worked properly as it did before. Thank you. LKN 1935
from Karsten:
in addition to Bengt's excellent '9 yards of advice' ..
camera set to 'Play' , not rec/computer/etc.?
camera not on battery, but power-line?
did your Mac 'recognize' this camera before...?
a technical check:
connect camera, on, playback, fw-connected...
click on the Blue Apple, upper left of your screen ..
choose 'About../More..
under Firewire.. what do you read..?
Yours Bengt W

Problem with Isight or Photo Booth PLEASE HELP

When ever i take a picture with teapot or spotlights or an other dark picture for the matter It comes out all white and pink kind of. It just looks weird and discollored but only pink and white. Please help me ( ps its only the new ichat effects it has problems with and idk how to delete them their the ones on this website from Ismiley)

the link above is where i downloaded the effects but im not sure how to uninstall them and it doesnt say on the website. When go find it in Finder it says More Ichat Effects Uninstaller and i pressed it but it brings up like Terminal ( i think its some application) and i dont know where to go from there and most of the other effects work but the dark ones dont. Also i tried turning flash off and it doesnt help.
http://i45.tinypic.com/28twfns.jpg
According to the developer's website:
http://ismileys.free.fr/moreichateffects/support/
".... you can launch iChat and Photobooth in 32 bits only..."
If that does not help you, try uninstalling MoreIchatEffects. I do not use MoreIchatEffects, but, again, according to the developer's website,
http://ismileys.free.fr/moreichateffects/
"If you want to remove all effects, run the installer or remove files in /Library/Compositions"
(1) In addition to the extra effects, it appears that the MoreIchatEffects installer adds an uninstaller application that you say looks like Terminal. You should be able to run the MoreIchatEffects Uninstaller application by merely double-clicking its iCon and following any on-screen instructions.
If you need more help with how to run the Uninstaller than you can find from MoreIchatEffects> Help, you can contact the developer for assistance using the information from this page:
http://ismileys.free.fr/contact.html
Based on the "... check the number of your effects. If it isn't a multiple of 8, it will crash always." comment on that page, you may also want to count the number of effects in your Mac's Library/Compositions folder to be sure that is not your problem. If you need help finding the effects files you are to count, see the next paragraph of this post.
(2) If you cannot make the uninstaller work, note that the "Library/Compositions folder" that contains the effects files you can manually delete is the one in your Mac's startup drive Library/Preferences folder. Look in the "Compositions" folder there.
Do NOT remove any files from either the Library folder in your Mac's System folder
or from the Library folder in your ~ (Home) folder.
(3) If you cannot make either method above work for you, you can use your Time Machine backup from a date prior to the time you installed MoreIchatEffects. For help, see:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.6/en/15638.html
(4) If all else fails, your Apple-Authorized Service Provider can help.

Problems with titles and photo galleries

Hi
I would really appreciate help with two problems...
1. I have changed the title on all my pages yet the title bar
in the browser still shows untitled document!
2. I have downloaded a photo gallery from the internet and
exchanged the images for my own, works perfectly off my own
computer but as soon as I put it in as a flash file in my page and
publish, none of the images are there and it has 'undefined' on the
bottom of the gallery
Thanks for any support
MVA1983

A url always helps but here are some pointers
1) Make sure you are not using a frameset.
2) Check the links to the images in the flash file because it
sound like
the link is somehow different between your machine and the
server.

Problems with apps and photos since updated new iTunes

Hi all.
I updated itunes and instaleed it on both my computer and my iphone. Since then, I cannot purchase apps, update them or sync them with my mac. My id and password are ok, but the apps are stuck in mid process and I cannot use them. If that wasn't enough, the iphone shows that all my photos are gone although itune shows 11.5 gb of "other" and I can't sync photos from iphoto to iphone. ideas anyone?

Do not install MacKeeper.
Back up your Mac if you have not already done so. To learn how to use Time Machine read Mac Basics: Time Machine backs up your Mac - Apple Support.
Determine if the same problems also occur in "Safe Mode":
Safe Mode or "Safe Boot" is a troubleshooting mode that bypasses all third party system extensions and loads only required system components. Read about it: Starting up in Safe Mode
You must disable FileVault before you can start your Mac in Safe Mode.
Starting your Mac in Safe Mode will take longer than usual, graphics will not render smoothly, audio is disabled on some Macs, and some programs (iTunes for example) may not work at all.
Merely starting your Mac in Safe Mode is not intended to resolve the problem, it's to observe its performance without certain additional components.
To end Safe Mode restart your Mac normally. Shutdown will take longer as well.

IPhone 3Gs syncing problems with PC and photos

An executive at my company is experiencing syncing issues with his photos on his PC and iPhone 3Gs. He's gone to the Apple Store and met with a Genius Bar consultant and they've already wiped the phone "clean" and still is unable to sync his photos to his iPhone. Any suggestions or fixes are greatly appreciated. He recently upgraded his laptop to Windows 7, could that be a contributing factor? Thank you.

Unlikley it's Windows 7. Maybe delete the iPod photo cache?... http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1314

Itunes problems with syncing and photos

Why is syncing in itunes screwed up all the time...it doesn't seem dependable. I downloaded some tv shows and tried to sync it and it doesn't even let you drag it to your ipod. The only way I could manage to get the videos on there is by manually managing my music. It seems like managing manually is the only dependable way.
Second, Is there a way to get photos downloaded directly from your ipod on itunes? I noticed there is a photos tab under devices/ipod and it seems to sync it, but you can't view it on your hard drive. The only way I got my photos on my hard drive was by using my computer/ipod (which doesn't even let you drag your music to the device, what is up with that? can you only use itunes to put music on your ipod?).

Deselect Sync Photos under the Photos tab followed by selecting Apply and a sync which should remove all photos on your iPhone that were transferred from your computer.
Re-select Sync Photos under the Photos tab and the folder of photos on your computer you want transferred to your iPhone followed by a sync.
If no change, Mac or Windows PC?
If a Mac, do you use iPhoto and are you transferring photos from iPhoto or do you manually manage photo storage on your Mac?
If a Windows PC, do you manually manage photo storage on your PC?

HT201412 my camera and photo booth have stopped working, everything else is fine.

camera shutter does not open so I cannot take any pictures. As well, the photobooth doesn't work. The red curtain just opens and closes.

Try resetting the iPad. Hold down the sleep and home keys, past when you see the red power down slider, and until you see the silver apple. Let it reboot and see if that helps.

Video on skype not workin only in facetime and photo booth appears to be a common problem amongst user with a recently bought macbook air

Video on skype not working. Only functioning in facetime and photo booth. Seems to be a common problem amongst users having bought a new macbook air recently. When you go to Preference and click on audio/video item video works but when clicking on another menue and returning to audio/videio picture is gone. Understand has something to do with a recent update von Apple (10.8.5... missing file for 32 bit version).
Anybody there to give me an advice?
Thanks.

Wait until a fix is available from Apple or Skype.
Best.

Backdrops with Sony DV Camcorder in iChat and Photo Booth

Hello I have found the Backdrops will not work with my DV camcorder, I have seen on apple's iChat page that "Backdrop effects when using a DV camcorder require fixed focus, exposure, and white balance". How do I do that with my camcorder (or can it even be done on most?)

Hi,
Do you have an internal iSight as well ? (i.e. not a Mac Mini or Mac Pro)
Do the Backdrops work for that camera in iChat and Photo Booth ?
I have a MacBook Pro and it has an Interanl iSight
I have plugged in an X-Box 360 camera and the current USB 2.0 USB Video Class (UVC) camera I use with my G4 and they work.
Prior to buying the G4 a USB 2.0 Card and a new camera I was using A Dazzle Hollywood DV Convertor with a older Canon UC600 analogue Camcorder (Converting PAL TV signals to DV then via Firewire to the Computer) and this worked to the MacBook Pro as well
With that in mid I am not sure it all about the Auto Focus and White Balance other than those can help get the best pictures.
I would be interested in how the "Video" is getting form camera to computuer ?
What sort of Signal that is ?
Whether Backdrops work anyway ?

Is there a solution?

Yep, Meg, you were right and here are the steps which cure the issue. Disable camera is actually a basic Google Apps setting .
