Thanks in advance for your help

Hello Winsoton and thanks for your reply. I also tried to open it with various programs I have, iMovie, Quicktime, HandBrake, iTunes, no luck
As to what EZ Jim said, yes Photo Booth is a basic, fun app. and one should not rely on it to record important clips on it but its not that I chose to record an important clip there, just that it coincidently started as a fun clip but ended up being important after. Kinda like coincidently capturing video footage of a UFO with your cheap camera phone one day you were recoding a nice sunset, in the end you wish you could of had a HD professional video camera instead of your phone lol. Not that I caught UFO's on tape through my imac's Photo Booth lol. Just using it as an example to why the clip is important.
Anyhow, the issue here, so as to not get out of the subject by discussing why it is an impotant clip, is that I am trying to figure out if anyone has been able to open a file like that with any program, or knows a way to do it.
Anyhow, thanks for your guy's replies. Im still trying to figure it out how to open it.
If anyone finds out how to, let me and Jvaldez know, i think we are in the same situation, trying to open a .mov file that was recorded on Photo Booth without hitting the stop button in the end to end it, but rather closing the program.

  • Photo Booth froze while recording video and did not save

    Hi-
    I was in the middle of recording a video on Photo Booth for a school project. Before you go any further- I now know that I should have used iMovie or Quick Time to record, but I was having the same problem with freezing/lagging video. So I decided on using Photo Booth because it is what I am most familiar with.
    It was about a 20 minute video and I noticed that the picture would freeze every so often, even right after I began recording, so I know it is not a size issue. I also do not have anything in my Photo Booth tray or library, so I know I have enough space.
    Here's my issue: I pressed stop when I was done recording. But I got the infamous "spinning wheel of death." It didn't go away, even after 10 minutes so I force quit. I have located the recording in Finder. It says the name of the video, and the size, but the thumbnail is just the default QuickTime icon, not an icon.
    How do I recover this? It's extremely important that I do. Hoping EZ Jim will respond!  Thank you so much in advance.
    I am using a MacBook Pro 13" from 2011.

    Yes, you should have.  Do so in future recordings that are important or longer than a couple of minutes.
    l_kleiman wrote:... the picture would freeze every so often,...
    Because your problem is the same with all three video recording applications, we can rule out application software as the cause of your trouble.  Here are some possible causes and what you can do to try to solve them:
    (1) Video recording is processor intensive.  If you are also running many more apps than only the video app while you are recording, your Mac's processor may be working near its limit.
    Restarting your Mac before recording video ensures you will not have interference from multiple user accounts or widgets (unless they are included as  > System Preferences... > Account > Login iTems.
    Remember that things like widgets and automatic checks for Mail, TimeMachine backups, iCal alarms, etc., and other background activities also add to your Mac's workload. The actions for the apps mentioned (and for most other such apps) can be disabled in "Preferences" for the apps that control them.
    Disconnect all peripherals while you are recording video, and make your record monitoring window as small as possible. These suggestions help reduce processor power requirements while recording.
    (2) Installing the maximum amount of RAM your MBP can use may help you. Your retailer can help you check what you have and install more if necessary.
    (3) Alternatively, the cause of your symptoms May lie in your system software.
    Consider the information in OS X Mountain Lion: If your Mac runs slowly.  It applies equally to your OS X Lion system.
    If you are not already running the latest Lion version, apply the OS X Lion Update 10.7.5 (Client Combo) update.)
    l_kleiman wrote:... the picture would freeze ... even right after I began recording, so I know it is not a size issue. I also do not have anything in my Photo Booth tray or library, so I know I have enough space...
    Neither freeze timing nor Photo Booth tray or library space tells you whether your startup disk has enough free ("Available") space for best operation.
    Use your Mac's Finder > File > Get Info menu command to check available free space.  Be sure you have LOTS of room (I keep 75% of my disk space free when recording video) on your MBP's disk.
    Capture your movie clips on your MBP's startup disk rather than on an external drive which is almost certainly slower.
    l_kleiman wrote:... when I was done recording... I force quit... but the thumbnail is ...not an icon.  How do I recover this?...
    If something here doesn't work, http://bit.ly/1An6zjD, your only remedy it to record the video again.
    l_kleiman wrote:... Thank you so much in advance...
    You're welcome.  If you need to post back for other suggestions, please tell us the following:
    0. What Lion version number you are using? You can find the version with the  > About This Mac menu command.
    1. Are you recording your video subjects in bright lighting?
    2. Did your Mac ever record video properly? If so, what happened immediately before the problem first appeared? (new software, hardware, etc?)
    3. How much free space is "Available" on your startup disk?
    4. How much RAM is installed in your Mac?
    5. If you added RAM, what brand (Apple, Crucial, Other World, etc.) did you install?
    6. Have you used Apple Hardware Test to verify your RAM is all working?  (If you don't know how to use AHT, see your MBP's User Guide.)
    We will offer more specific suggestions based on the details in your response.

  • 27' Imac version 10.8.2 webcam doesn't work on any softwares: photo booth, skype, ichat...!

    I got the new imac 27 inch 3.2 GHZ last week, the version is 10.8.2. I tried to use photo booth, skype and other softwares for webcam, but none of them work. They just turned black and stopped there. How can I do to test it or it's obviously broken?
    Thank you!

    If you have not already done so, shut down Mac, restart, and try again.  If the iSight still does not work, try all relevant suggestions from Apple's http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2090
    (Apple has changed the built-in camera's name on newer Macs from "iSight" to "FaceTime" and then to "FaceTime HD."  Regardless of the name of your Mac's built-in camera, the same info and troubleshooting applies.)

  • Photo Booth doesn't play videos anymore

    Hi all
    Today I realized that, on my iMac Core Duo, Photo Booth doesn't play videos it record ( I saw the thumbnails but screen remains black when I select one) while they can be played by any other player on the computer, and from iphoto and imovie as well if I export them, all after the Mountain Lion update.
    The issue doesn't occur with my MacBook Pro i7, with approximately same software installed but I can't find a solution anyway.
    Can you help me please? I'm a huge fan of Photo Booth
    Thank you

    Hello volkerfromessen and everyone else
    now i have problems with the drag and drop background effect. i can't drop images there anymore. : / haven't found any thread on here talking about this issue.
    i'm afraid such issues on photobooth will become more often with time. i'm kind of hopeless that apple will fix it soon.
    i haven't had any problem with Lion. but Mountain Lion has been a pain in the ***!

    How come although iPads are getting more powerful, the iOS apps from apple are so mediocre and just not that great? We spend all this money for the latest ipad and all we get is these $5 video and music apps from apple. Why create the iOS platform and only offer so so apps like IMovie and GarageBand ? While other developers are offering much better apps like pinnacle studio for video, Cubasis and Auria for music production, apple has not showed much growth in terms of innovation. While there's nothing wrong with making an app like GarageBand where "anyone " can make a song, how about something for real musicians or an app not so basic as it get for video editing? After spending 0ver $700 on an ipad I'd be willing to spend more than $5 for a better video or audio app.

    First, try a system reset although I can't give you any confidence.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

    Thanks stedman1 for continuing to push this interface change news...   I must have taken 100 photos last night (of my shoes) trying to switch to video (unsuccessfully).   Very frustrating.
    OTOH, like many Apple interface innovations, it is simple to learn and easy to remember.  
    Honestly, that's all we can ask for, there really ain't no intuitive.

    I cannot view some videos and participate in some websites since Adobe upgraded all to Flash 11.7. I have an older Mac G5 PowerPC (no Intel chip) running OS 10.5.8. I keep getting splash screens saying I have to update to Flash 11.7 but 11.7 is made for those Macs with an Intel chip. I am running the newest Flash for my system. It seems all concerned should have made Flash retro-compatible for those of us with older Macs. Is there a work around to this Flash requirement short of buying a new Mac with the Intel chip?

    I'll bet you'll have better luck if you post your question in the Power Mac discussions here: https://discussions.apple.com/community/desktop_computers/power_mac
    Either that, or one of the forums at Adobe.

  • Photo Booth has stopped recording Videos all of a sudden??

    Hi all,
    on my iMac only 6 months old, all of a sudden after working fine Photo Booth today has decided to stop recording videos.
    The app launches, green light comes on and the picture/video shows, i press record and it counts down but the counter doesnt move although the picture is still there.
    Press stop and it loads a black screen and plonks it in the library thing at the bottom of the picture..  Very odd.
    I have trashed the Preferences and this does nothing,
    Have deleted the other videos so its not a space issue?
    Wondering if anyone else has the same thing???
    Any help greatly accepted,,
    Many thanks

    Does anyone know where you can get a version of Photobooth? I didnt have any disks of the OSX lion that shipped with my iMac?

  • Photo booth crashes when taking video

    why does my photo booth keep crashing when i try to take videos? help plss

    From What I've found.. it seems 3ivx or Perian could cause this problem. A friend had this issue and deleted 3ivx and it fixed his crashes. Alternatively, some folks are reporting that turning off 32-bit mode (Get Info) for Photobooth has also fixed, although this was already turned off in my friend's case.

  • Photo booth only records partial Video no matter how long it is...Help!!

    ok so i wanted to make a funny video to send to my friend. I turned on Photo booth, chose the video option, and hit record. I proceeded to completely embarrass myself on camera for about 5 mins, and i clicked stop. When it stopped, only like the 1st 18 secs were recorded. I thought maybe i clicked stop on accident, so i tried it again, and it was the same problem.. is anyone else having this problem? if so is there a solution for it? please help...thanks

    Welcome to Apple Discussions, C Dot MooDy
    is anyone else having this problem?
    I have not seen any specific post of exactly your problem, but a few users have posted questions about how long Photo Booth can record, so they might be asking about a similar issue.
    For instance, a search of iSight discussions about known Photo Booth recording time limit:
      http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1450644&tstart=50
    if so is there a solution for it?
    For a solution, consider the same suggestions I offered in the topic linked above:
    (1) Be sure you are keeping Photo Booth (PB) as the foreground app; i.e., you can always see "Photo Booth" by the  in the upper left corner of your display. Don't click on the desktop or any other open window while recording. Recording stops on my Mac if PB is not the active app.
    (2) Other things that might be contributing to your problem:
    • Don't let your Mac go to sleep or allow its screen saver to work while you are recording.
    • Check and, if necessary, modify settings of background apps that might be interrupting your Mac during your PB movie recording. Examples would include Mail checking for new email, iCal executing an alarm, your Software Update... performing its scheduled check for software updates.
    I do not know that one of those might be your problem, but if you can find no other cause, and if you must record long clips with PB, consider any of those ideas you think they might have an impact. 
    (3) Also consider these suggestions If your Macbook runs slowly or exhibits any other problems in addition to your PB issue.
    (4) If all else fails, you might try iMovie to see if it works better for recording longer movie clips on your Macbook. While not a one-click app like PB, iMovie HD can add Video FX (Effects) after you have recorded your clip. If you cannot get PB working, iMovie might be worth considering as an alternative.
    (5) If you would rather not use iMovie, perhaps a PB clone application like WebcamTweaker or Freak Show will work for what you want.
    Please let us know how it goes.
