Why does photo booth say that there is no camera connected?

When i open photobooth or Facetime, or any other programe to use my inbuilt camera it comes up with "no camera connected".

  • Why does my computer say that there is a problem connecting to a server when I'm in iPhoto?

    After I launch iPhoto, this message pops up every 10 seconds or so,
    There is a problem connecting to the server "Scotts Macbook"?
    Why does this happen? I'm not trying to connect to any server, how do I disconnect? I used to use the Macbook for my iWeb site, but I haven't done that for years.

    I'm having the same problem.  I'm running 10.7.2.   My main NAS just failed and I'm using a new one.   The old NAS was called "DATASERVER".   The new NAS is called "NEWSERVER".
    Many, but not all of my original files were located on and imported from DATASERVER which is no longer in use.  I can see all of my photos but when I try to open them/edit them it's clear that I just have thumbnails.  I get the error message "There was a problem connecting to a server "DATASERVER".  The server may not exist or it is unavailable at this time.   Check the server name or IP address, check your network connection, and then try again."
    Other information:
    * I'm using iPhoto 9.2.1
    * Currently in Preferences I have the "copy items to the iPhoto library" CHECKED.
    * I can access the directories, files, etc. on NEWSERVER via Finder.
    * I have gone into keychain and deleted any references to DATASERVER
    * I have turned off Time Machine.
    * At one point it was asking me to find the original file and a finder window would pop up.  I could then point to the original file only to get the "There wasa a problem connecting to a server "DATASERVER" again. 
    I do not know if I'm using a Managed Library or a Referenced Library since I set this up long ago.  I seem to recall at one point I tried to manage the library myself but then changed.
    Any help that you can provide would be very much appreciated.  I've scoured this site and others but cannot find a solution that works. 

  • HT1766 Why does my pc say that there is no drivers for my new Ipad Air. I did a backup this night from the two week old Ipad Air that I smashed the front?

    Why does my pc say that there is no drivers for my new Ipad Air. I did a backup this night from the two week old Ipad Air that I smashed the front?

    Drivers are iOS specific....meaning if your old one had iOS 7.0.6 and your new one 7.1 then it needs different drivers.
    Is your iTunes up do date? if not, then updating it may help.
    You can also try using a different usb cord and port to see if that triggers the driver download.
    or, if that doesn't work, try going into your control panel, add/remove programs. Look for 'apple mobile device service' and uninstall that. THen plug your iPad in and it should reinstall.
    If that doesn't work, go back into the control panel but uninstall iTunes, and apple mobile device service and apple application support, then redownload and reinstall iTunes and see if that gets your drivers fixed.
    Another way to do that is go right click on 'my computer' 'properties' and go to 'device manager'
    plug your iPad in and do you see it show up in the list? YOu may need to click some of those little plus signs to open up the lists. If you see your iPad, right click on the name and you should see an option to update the driver.

  • Why does photo booth stop recording video randomly

    Im trying to record short videos using photobooth about 3 mins long.  but when i record.  more than half the time  it will say that it is recording the whole thing
    but when i stop the recording, only about fraction of what i wanted will be there. 
    Ex. i just recorded about 3m 30sec of video...and when i stopped it....only 32 seconds of video was recorded.....
    Why is this happening?

  • Why does photo booth stop filming at a random time?

    I have 60 gigs available, so storage isn't an issue.
    I'll film a video, say, 5 minutes, and then when I click the stop button, the video will show up as 36 seconds, or 54 seconds. It will only record an arbitrary amount of the video, not the whole thing. Occasionally, it records the whole video. Other times, it randomly shuts off. What is the deal? I am about to toss my computer out a window!

  • Why does it keep saying that an error occurred when downloading iOS 8?

    Why does it keep saying that an error occurred when downloading iOS 8?

    Have you tried updating via iTunes? I find that way's more reliable - I've never had any problems with updating that way.

  • Why does photo booth cut my videos short?

    Do not worry about the backups.  They will be deleted automatically after a week, or if your HD gets too full.  See #30 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions.
    The "other" stuff is just that -- all sorts of things that don't fall into the few categories listed.  The operating system, system work files, plus lots of your stuff like documents, mail, etc.  See Lion's Storage Display

  • My ipod says that there's no internet connection despite me signed on sky network. what happened? how do i fix it?

    My ipod says that there's not interent connection despite me signed up to SKY network at home! what happened? how do i fix it?

    When you go to Settings>wifi does it show you are connected?
    Do other devices successfully connect to the internet?
    Does the iPod successfully connect to other networks?
    Try:
    - Resetting the iPod. Nothing is lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Power off and then back on the router
    - Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings

    I just got my new iPad Mini2, and when I choose "sign in with your apple ID", it says that "there was a problem connecting to the server". What's wrong with this, and how can I deal with this problem?

    1. Turn router off for 30 seconds and on again

    Are you getting a network connection error or a different error ? If it is a network connection and you've tried turning off all your firewall and antivirus software then you could try downloading the update via a browser : https://discussions.apple.com/message/16703914#16703914

  • Why does status bar say that all items are not loaded?

    When I have the status bar displayed at the bottom of my page, and I load a page, it usually says 4 of 5 item complete, or 6 of 7, or even one time, 92 of 93. What does this mean exactly? And why does it never say all items are completed? Is anything wrong with the browser, or is this just code for something?
    Thanks,
    Jeff

    These days web pages have many little extras, not just images, that have to be downloaded when we click on a link to a page. Sometimes, for a variety of reasons (file availability, internet problems, browser, bad coding, local cache, ISP problem) not everything downloads.
    As long as the page seems to have all the information and nothing is apparently missing, I tend to ignore this.
    When all items are completed, the status bar shows nothing.

  • Why does Photo Booth provide 'mirror' images?

    I took a number of pictures of my friends with Photo Booth and realised that something was wrong. When I looked closer I noticed that all the photos had been reversed and were in fact mirror images of the actual person. Why is this? I had to use the "Flip Photo" command to make them normal. I would suppose this is how the original iSight works as well although I have never tried it.
    Then I noticed that there is an "Auto flip all photos" command, which of course is what I choose. But it is beyond me why this is not the default in the first place.
    When you use a camera with a timer on it to take your picture, it does not give you a mirror image, it provides you with the true image. iSight should also IMHO.
    Griff

    It's because it's more natural for people to see themselves in a mirror while getting ready for the picture. Thus if they lift their right hand the hand on the right side of the screen would appear to rise. If the picture suddenly flipped after taking the picture, this could be confusing, which is why it isn't the default, but simply an option.
