Where is Photo Booth & how to get iSight to work in iChat
Just set up a new 2.4 iMac for my daughter yesterday (purchased new directly from Apple). Today she says she can't access Photo Booth, which she is familiar with from using my son's MBP. I did a Search (Command-F) for "photo Booth" but came up with nothing. I also doubled clicked on the iSight Updater which was on the hard drive in the Application / Utilities Folder. It told me it couldn't find iSight!
Any ideas?
Hello Fastdude
Based on your info, my idea is that someone has deleted it.
Finder finds Photo Booth on my Mac.
Reinstall if you want it back.

Stop clicking on the iSight Updater that is in your Application / Utilities Folder. It was apparently "migrated" there when you got a new Mac or installed Leopard. It is not needed after you have once installed it on an external Firewire iSight that was using a pre-Tiger version of Mac OS X.

I deleted my photo booth how can i get it back?
i deleted my photo booth how can i get it back?
OK, here are some step by step instructions:
1. Open a Finder window.
2. In the Finder window on the left side you will see a folder that says Applications. Click the folder.
3. Click the Time Machine icon in your Dock and wait for Time Machine to open.
4. On the right side of TM you will see a time line, click a date that you know the Application was still there and wait for TM to go to that date. You will see the date in the bottom center.
5. While in the Applications folder scroll down until you find Photo Booth and then click Restore in the bottom right.
At that point Photo Booth should be restored and working. If it isn't then make an appointment at your local Apple Store and take the machine in. They will help you restore the application. If you don't have an Apple Store in your area contact an AASP or call Apple Care for some help. -
I updated my computer to 10.10.1 and now my photoshop isn't in my applications folder anymore. Even when I try to export photos from Lightroom, PS isn't even an option anymore. Not sure where it went or how to get it back! Thanks!
Using 6-7 year old software that's no longer receiving updates & was never designed to run on 10.10 is asking for trouble. That said, try re-installing PS and installing Java SE6
Java for OS X 2014-001
It might work. But again it might not.
Good luck!

I have set up folders on iCloud to file my mail but notice that some of the emails are missing when I've transferred them. Can anyone tell me where they are and how to get them back please?
This can be a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

I can't find my photo booth how can i download it again?
i can't find my photo booth how can i download it again?
You might want to check first:
Go to Finder, click Applications, and make sure photo booth in not there. If not, then find the OS X features (programs) disk that came with your mac. It will allow you to install it from there. If you have lost it, you can try to download and install it from here: http://www.mediafire.com/?fnz1mjjmjmz
I have not tested this, but it looks valid (the comments were positive).
First try to install it via the DVD that came with your mac -
I'm trying to use speech recognition to input text on my iMac running the latest mountain lion, 10.8.3.
I have sticky keys enabled.
When I try to start speaking by pressing the function key twice nothing happens. I can only get it to work if I disable sticky keys.
The same problem occurs with all the other modifier keys as shortcut, they do not work with sticky keys.
When I try to select a different shortcut, I am unable to select a two key combination, but am limited to one.
If I select the F6 key, or any other single key, I am able to start speech recognition. However the second time that I press the key, it does not stop recognition and process my words. Instead, it restarts the recognition.
Has anyone figured out how to get speech recognition working with sticky keys enabled?
Or a way to get an individual key shortcut to start on the first press and process it on the second?
Or a way to get key combinations to work, as specified by the help:
Dictation On and Off
To use Dictation, click On.
When you’re ready to dictate text, place the insertion point where you want the dictated text to appear and press the Fn (function) key twice. When you see the lighted microphone icon and hear a beep, the microphone is ready for you to speak your text.
Shortcut
By default, you press the Fn (Function) key twice to start dictation. If you like, you can choose a different shortcut from the menu.
To create a shortcut that’s not in the list, choose Customize, and then press the keys you want to use. You can press two or more keys to create your shortcut.I noticed with version 10.8.4 of OS X that I am now able to select F6 to activate, and the return key to complete the speech recognition. This is still different than the description of how these should function that's included in the help, but at least it's an improvement.

Downgraded OS from Mavericks to Mountain Lion, how to get Aperture to work on Mountain Lion? My iMac (Intel) is older and Apple told me this model doesn't handle Mavericks well, recommended I step back to Mountain Lion, which was where Aperture was originally used. Aperture was upgraded when I installed Mavericks, need to go back to older version. How?
Erase disk drive
Restore backup made prior to upgrade

How to get Messages to work with a proxy server?
at work we use a proxy server.
some icloud programs work, but Messages does not.
any idea how to get this to work through a proxy server?
thanks.Hi,
Now I feel really silly.
I remember the pane looking like this though:-
As there used to be two iChat forums here at Apple Support Communities and the older iChat 2.1 one has disappeared I am not sure how many threads might be available for scrutiny on this matter.
AS I said I don't ever recall someone reporting that they got it to work.
During early version of iChat it was found that the AIM server would accept a login on almost any port.
It became popular to suggest port 443 as this was a well known port known to be open on most routers "out-of-the-box" and likely to be open in campus situations where students may not have any control over what ports were open.
An AIM Login can also do "Direct IMs" for which is switches to port 5190 on the UDP Protocol.
At this point the chat is peer to peer.
It does this if you send a pic in the Chat or send a file.
It uses port 5190 for this no matter what is used for the Login.

i have purchased itunes match but the cloud will not load on my ipad 4.it works on my iphone 5 & it originally worked on my ipad.the only music that will show up is stuff that i bought from the itunes store.any ideas on how to get this to work?
On the MBP, in iTunes, switch to Song view and enable the iCloud Status column by pulling down View > View options and selecting the option for "iCloud Status." Close the small window. Look for any tracks that have a status of "waiting." If you see several of them disable iTunes Match while holding down the Option key. Quit iTunes, wait a few seconds, then open it again and turn iTM back on. Let it compelete the scan. Wait until all tracks that are "waiting" have a status of either "matched" or "uploaded."
On the iPad, turn off iTunes Match then launch the Music app and let the contents clear out. Power cycle the iPad for good measure, then re-enable the service once all the tracks in iTunes have been processed. -
When I switch my time capsule to 5.0ghz mode the range of my wireless network drops significantly. Near the Time Capsule my Macbook Pro works fine, in my bedroom I have almost no signal. In mixed mode it works fine both placed. Any ideas on how to get 5.0 working? I thought 5.0Ghz was supposed to have a wider range. Do I need to change a setting on the Macbook Pro?
Thanks, WI'm not sure if you understand that 5 GHz has some upsides, but also some very significant downsides.
The upside is that the 5 GHz signal will allow faster speeds.
The downside is that you must always give up something in order to gain something else.Unfortunately, the marketing hype about 5 GHz does not go into very many details about this.
In the case of 5 GHz, the 5 GHz signals are much weaker than 2.4 GHz signals, so they do not travel as far or penetrate any obstructions like walls or ceilings nearly as well as 2.4 GHz signals. In many cases, in order to get good 5 Ghz performance, you literally have to have almost a line-of-sight relationship between your computer and the wireless router.
If you have a new dual band router, which broadcasts both a 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz signal simutaneously, your Mac will connect to the best signal quality automatically depending on its location in relation to the router. In the same room, without any obstructions, it will connec to 5 GHz. But, take the laptop down the hall a few rooms and around the corner and the Mac will connect to the 2.4 GHz signal because at that location, the 2.4 GHz signal is not only stronger, it is also faster. -
