Why is my Photo Booth screen green ?

When I turn on photo booth, the screen is green. When I take a picture, it remains green. Can anyone help me with this ?

Hello TOM251
A search of iSight Discussions for "green" (without the quotation marks) returns several topics on your problem.
Here are some suggestions that worked for several other iNtel Mac users:
First, check the settings mentioned in Apple iMac G5 (iSight): Built-in iSight ... blue or green pictures.
You can also try Apple's suggestions re: Built-in iSight from How to Troubleshoot iSight.
If the reset and other Troubleshooting suggestions do not correct your problem, you can try the following:- Backup your Home Folder, or at very least, your important files.
- Repair permissions.
- Then download and apply the Mac OS X 10.4.9 Combo Update (iNtel).
- Finish with another Permissions Repair, and then check your iSight again.Please let us know if one of these helps.
Jim

  • Why is my photo booth not working

    Why is my photo booth crashing?

    Quit the app and restart the iPad. I the camera app is in the task bar, close it as well.
    Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down the app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Tap the home button.
    Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

  • Photo Booth Help! My photo booth screen is very very dark. I thought it was the screen but its at the brightest it can possibly be! So I grabbed my mothers MacBook Pro and It's much lighter and more clear. I have just the regular macbook. Please Help.

    My photo booth screen is very very dark. I thought it was the screen but its at the brightest it can possibly be! So I grabbed my mothers MacBook Pro and It's much lighter and more clear. I have just the regular macbook. I also used the my camera on tumblr and it came up like my mothers. So could it just be photo booth? I also have no idea how to find out which operating system is downloaded. This is preowned.

    Use the trackpad to scroll, thats what it was designed for. The scroll bars automatically disappear when not being used and will appear if you scroll up or down using the trackpad.
    This is a user-to-user forum and most people will post on here if they have problems. You very rarely get people posting to say there update went smooth. The fact is the vast majority of Mountain Lion users will not be experiencing any major problems with the OS, or maybe with apps which are not compatible, but thats hardly Apple's fault if developers don't update their apps.

  • ISight Not Functioning, Photo Booth Gives Green Screen

    I got my Macbook Pro back from the repair shop recently and shortly after my built in iSight stopped functioning correctly. The green light goes on to show me it's working but:
    In Photo Booth I see this
    |
    |
    In iChat when not in a video conference I see this
    |
    |
    But interestingly enough as soon as I connect to someone in a video chat it starts to work. I've already tried resetting the pram, repairing permissions and repairing the disk. Any other ideas?

    Try the suggestions mentioned in Article http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2090 How to Troubleshoot iSight. Some of the suggestions you already tried.
    If no success, then I suggest that you return your comp to the repair shop & have them repair it properly. Don't leave the shop until your computer is working to your satisfaction.
    Good luck!
    P.S. Thanks for the screen shots.

  • Why is my Photo Booth not working now that I installed OS X Mountain Lion?

    I just updated to the OS X Mountain Lion and now my Photo Booth will not work. If I try and open Photo Booth it says "You can't use this version of the application "Photo Booth" with this version of OS X. You have "Photo Booth" 3.0.3." Why wouldn't the new software include a new version of Photo Booth?

    Photo Booth version 5 came with Mountain Lion. Try running Software Update to see if the program will update.
    If you can't find it you may have to try reinstalling Mountain Lion.

  • Photo Booth Screen Blank, Won't Take Pictures

    Every time I open Photo Booth, I get a blank screen with a little movie symbol and a line through it. It won't let me take pictures at all; all I can do is view the ones I've already taken. All I can find in the help section is that if your screen is blank, the digital video camera isn't hooked up. But I have no idea what that means; I've never had to install anything for it to work. I'm so confused.

    HI,
    Reinstall the PhotoBooth application from your Mac install disk.
    Insert your Mac install disk. Open the Optional Installs folder, then open Optional Installs.mpkg
    An Installer will start... click Continue. When you get to the Installation Type in the window on the right you will see: Applications. Click the Disclosure triangle so it faces down. Select the PhotoBooth app then click: Continue.
    After all software updates or installations, repair disk permissions.
    Quit any open applications/programs. Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.

    It's impossible to answer your question without any information.
    I suggest bring it back for a checkup.

  • Why do my photos have a green tint when placing them into Muse?

    I am placing photos of portraits into Muse and the colors look terrible. There is a green tint that dulls down the pictures.Top is one of the originals, and bottom is a screenshot in Muse.

    sorry maybe Im not making my issue clear...thanks for answering anyway:
    over the last years- but 15 weeks specifically I have downloaded photos from my camers card- putting it straight into the apple mac and then opening IPHOTO then i am able to click and put the pics into my folders in IPHOTO but as of 2 days ago - the camera card went in, the pics opened BUT there is an error message which states iphoto cannot save them to file......as they are JPEGS
    I can see that others too have had this issue and there are 'answers' but I am a complete novice and cannot understand the answers given and need someone to 'hand hold me' through a step by step this is what you must do....
    so hope that now is cleared as to why there is a 'problem'
    hope you can still help me thanks for you time

    Sometimes when I open Photo Booth, the green light for my webcame turns on but the preview screen is just black. And when I take the pic, its all black.

Usually I close it and open again in a few minutes and it works fine, but today it just keeps going black no matter how many times I quit. Idk what to do.
