When i launch photo booth it says the camera is in use

there are no other apps running so i know its not the case. also, the computer stopped recognizing my multifunction printer. i think the two are related but i don't know why or how to fix it. HELP!!

Have you tried restarting the computer ?

    If you're using Windows try uninstalling iTunes and all of its components as by following this guide exactly: Windows XP or Windows Vista/7, then reinstall the latest version of iTunes.  You must follow this guide exactly or it will not be successful.  Note: uninstalling iTunes will only remove the application; it will not touch your iTunes library or data.

  • I just updated my 15" macbook pro from Snow Leopard to Mavericks and it's saying Photo booth needs to be updated to be used. Since it comes with the machine I'm assuming I need to buy Mountain Lion or something? Help??

    Many apps I would like to download were out of reach because they needed the latest software download to work. I was extrememly excited to hear that the newest update was completely free and knew that it would help some of my problems. I was told that Mavericks could be installed straight from Snow Leopard, but I'm guessing a few updates have been missed on the way? How am I supposed to update my apps like Photo Booth when I am a student with low income and can't afford to buy things like Mountain Lion?
    Is there anyway to update my apps without downsizing my software???

    First, I see from the screenshot that you have applications on your desktop - how did they wind up there? Any app should be installed in the Applications folder since that is where Software Update expects them to be when it searches for updates. So you might want to move your apps there. Do that, restart, and run Software Update again. If that does not update your very old version of Photo Booth, then I have only one suggestion: use recovery (hold down Command + R keys while restarting or rebooting) to re-download and install Mavericks again over the top of what you have.

  • Photo booth, problems with the new backround

    Has any one else had trouble with the new back rounds in photo booth, in mine, the back round over powers me so I am partially invisible. Is there anything I can do about it?

    Hi,
    The further away lighting is and the more contrast (single colour different from your clothes) the background is the better this will be.
    For instance if your background is dark or your chair is black when you are out of frame and your clothes are close in colour when you return then you will be considered part of the background and "disappear".
    My ceiling where I have may computer is only 7 feet high and it has overhead spot lights to light my desk area.
    This means the lights are about 4 feet above my head when sitting at the desk and this changes the lighting when I move back into frame causing some "Blooming" around my head. (Shows a blotch around my head of nothing - normally grey)
    Hope this helps.

  • 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.

    The SMC reset often fixes your problem.  Be sure you follow the instructions for your particular Mac model.

    Thank you for clarify I'm supposed to read the ENTIRE article. I thought I was just supposed to read the title and magically everything will fix itself. I appreciate you taking the time to help me however I do not appreciate the caps and the way you have addressed the situation. If you are not going to kindly help people/make suggestions just don't try! And for the record my conclusions are not illogical, the iOS7 thing is on the website in small font (which I got by reading the ENTIRE thing) and you should really find a new hobby because your socialization skills need some help! That goes for you too Chris. Not everyone is a tech nerd

  • My computer will not recognize my ipod touch anymore. When I plug it in it says the USB device attached to this computer has malfunctioned and windows doesn not recognize it.

    My computer (PC) will not recognize my ipod touch anymore. When I plug it in, it says the USB device attached to this computer has malfunctioned and windows does not recognize it. I have tried attaching the same cord and ipod to a different computer and it is recognized by our mac. I have tried restarting the ipod, downloading all updates on my pc, restarting the pc, etc. Nothing has worked. Please advise.
