  • Green screen in webcam when I open Photo Booth?

    I just bought my new Macbook Pro two weeks ago and sometimes when I open Photo Booth before I appear in the web cam it just turns green for .5 seconds.. is this a defect in the camera, or what? This computer is brand new and I am quite perturbed and I was wondering if I should return it.

    Unless your Mac is being slowed by heavy processor load, a slow internet connection, etc., the condition you describe is not normal.  Disconnect your Mac from the internet, restart, and test Photo Booth again.
    In addition to the suggestions CMCSK has offered, consider whether you have multiple apps open when you try to use Photo Booth.  Perhaps other running apps are connected to your iSight?  Perhaps your Mac merely needs an unusual amount of time to switch between many apps while continuing to support processor demands of other apps you are also running?  When looking for other apps, be sure to consider "Widgets" in your Mac's Dashboard or "Login Items" in  > System Preferences... > Users & Groups.
    If your Photo Booth green symptom occurs immediately following a restart with no other apps running and no interent connection, ask your Apple Care Service Provider to check your Mac ASAP.  It may need to be serviced or exchanged for one that works properly.

    Use the suggestions here:  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2090
    The SMC reset often fixes your problem.  Be sure you follow the instructions for your particular Mac model.

  • HT2090 When I open Photo Booth appears a window with this message:

    Photo Booth couldn't save your photos:
    Photo Booth encountered an error when trying to save your photos. Your photos cannot be saved at this time.
    Help please!

    I have the same issue... have searched and read many threads trying to resolve but nothing works. Only suggestion I have seen is to check folder permissions...if permissions are set to Read&Write and Photo Booth still doesn't work then what? WHY DOESN'T ANYONE HAVE A SOLUTION TO THIS????

  • My MacBook Pro says camera not detected when I adjust my screen!

    i have had my macbook pro for about a year now and sometimes when i am using facetime and adjust my screen my picture will freeze and when i restart the program it will say camera not detected. why does this keep happening and should i take it to a store to get checked out, is this fixable? help!

    Sounds like a cable has slipped out of a connector, seeing as they go from "under the keyboard" and up by the display. You should get it checked out. I had a similar problem, but then it was my display that went to sleep when in 45°. I fixed it by just closing and opening the screen all the way a few times. Tried that?

  • Hi when I open iPhoto it's says "What photo library do you want to use" Have I lost all my photos? I don't know what to do here can anyone help please?

    Hi when I open iPhoto it's says "What photo library do you want to use" Have I lost all my photos? I don't know what to do here can anyone help please?

    Is there an item named "iPhoto Library.photo library" or similar in your "Pictures" folder, showing with an icon like a fan of pictures?
    Or did you store your iPhoto Library in a different folder, perhaps on an external drive?
    if you cannot find your iPhoto Library search for it with Find Any File, as described  by Old Toad in this post:
    Re: My iphoto library has disappeared. How do I find it?

    Re: My iphoto library has disappeared. How do I find it?in response to onpurpose
    Download and use Find Any File to search for a file named "iPhoto6.Library".  It's a file unique to all iPhoto libraries.
    FAF an search areas that Spotlight can't like invisible folders, packages and system files.  If there's another iPhoto library hiding somewhere on your hard drive FAF will find it.

    It's almost certainly too late.

  • When i click on safari to use the internet it says "safari cannot open the page because it is not connected to the internet", but i am connected to a wifi network so how do i get safari to work?

    when i click on safari to use the internet it says "safari cannot open the page because it is not connected to the internet", but i am connected to a wifi network so how do i get safari to work?

    you may be connected to the wireless network but the question is the internet working properly on the wireless network...
    what i mean is that i can make a wireless network without the internet so i can save and share files and have other devices connected to the same network access them... but you have to make sure that your internet it running properly... may have to reconfigure the router is your using PPPOE or if it was working prior to your post then try to restart your modem... that usually resolves most issues.
