Why won't my iSight camera take a picture of my debit card?

I work for a financial institution that will be setting up Apple Pay. Our Debit and Credit Cards are personalized in "flat print" not embossed. Are there limitations on the iSight camera that would prevent a cardholder from taking a picture of their flat printed debit or credit card during the enrollment process?

Malcolm, no it wasn't! Now it is! Now it works! Thank you so much!! I had disconnected everything to move the Mac to a new location and that's the only cable I forgot to plug back in.

Why won't my iSight camera connect in iMovie?

It works just fine in Photobooth, but it just shows the blue screen in the capture window for iMovie. I thought updating from Lion to Mountain Lion would do the trick, but no dice. Any ideas?

I 've had the newest iPad for about one week. Just started using face time..why does face time camera take pixelated pictures? The iSight camera pictures look fine.

Because something is wrong.
You will need to troubleshoot to find out what needs to be fixed.
One of these suggestions may resolve your trouble.
FaceTime (and other video) quality problems can be caused by problems at either end of the connection. Unless your video callers' FaceTime connections work properly with everyone else but you, both parities to the video call should consider these possibilities.
(1) Restart your iPad and test again. Sometimes a simple restart fixes things.
(2) Use a fast broadband internet connection for best possible FaceTime video.
Broadband speed matters at BOTH ends, so you use something like http://speedtest.net/ to test both ends of your video connections.
Speeds less than 300 Kbps (up and down) at both ends are unlikely to give best results.
(3) Try from a different wi-fi connection.
If the problem is ONLY at your current location, restarting your internet connection may help. Shut down your iPad or turn Airplane Mode "on". Then check your cable connections, restart your modem and wireless access point, reconnect iPad to the wi-fi, and test again.
If the problem remains but ONLY at your current location, there may be a problem with your internet service. Contact your ISP for help.
(4) Always use as much light as possible for best images (including video) from your iPad.

- Press the home button twice when done.

My new Ipad camera takes poor picture quality compare to my iphone 4g. Is it should be so?

My new Ipad camera takes poor picture quality compare to my iphone 4g. Is it should be so?

Hi pjl,
Yes I forgot to mention, the iPad does lose the tether when it sleeps, so I turned sleep off permanently which is probably not great for battery life either!
I just don't understand why another iPhone4 can connect to the personal hotspot with absolutely no intervention once it knows the password. That's how it should be on the iPad. They are both running the latest iOS5 so why any difference?

Iphone 6 camera takes a picture and the picture is missing

Question about the iphone 6. Two different occasions now i have taken a picture with the stock camera app, the picture shows up in the bottom left preview window and when i go to click it and it takes me to the photo app, the picture is not there. Preview always stays there for the picture but the picture is missing. The first time it happened i tried to reboot the phone, it was still there, then i did a restore and then the picture preview was finally gone. Now it happened again and i would like to not restore my phone again. Is anyone having this issue? It happened once before the ios8 update and after it. I have been searching all over and cant seem to find anyone who has this problem. I even plugged the phone into my computer to see if it was in there and it wasn't. Thanks!

Yes the restore phone worked to lose the pic but then it just happened again a couple weeks later. I actually found a work around for getting rid of the preview picture. I plugged my phone in and deleted any recent pics from the camera and cleared the photo stream then I restored a photo I had from the trash on the phone and then delete the trash photo again, some reason the preview of the lost pic goes away. That just happened on a fluke but I Still haven't figured out why the camera takes a picture and it doesn't always exist except in a preview though. At least i figured out how to get rid of it without restoring.

All of a sudden my iPhone 5s restarts alone and the camera takes green pictures

All of a sudden my iPhone 5s restarts alone and now the camera takes green pictures
I have the iOS 7.1 and for four months it's been working great, not now

First thing to try is a reset: Close all open apps by double-tapping the home button, then swiping up and off the screen with the app window (not the smaller icon).
Reset your device: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until the screen goes black and you see the Apple, then let go. (No data loss)
If this doesn't help, back up and restore via iTunes. If the problem continues, restore as a new device and test. If the problem is solved, there is some kind of corruption in your backup file or maybe it's one of your apps causing problems. If it continues, take it to an Apple Store for evaluation of a possible hardware problem.

Anyone know's how to make isight camera take snapshot for failed login attempts ?

I want my macbook pro to take pictures with the isight camera when someone has a failed login attempt ; anyone know of any programs and or apps ? I've searched all over & even called apple support and no luck.
Thanks !

If I want to count the number of failed login attempts what might be the best course of action?
Off the top of my head I figure I could:
Have a session variable that counts up to number X
Have a cookie variable
Insert the users IP address into a database table for each failed attempt and when the form loads I check to make sure there aren't X number of strikes in the last 30 minutes.
A combination of those might be a good idea. Most hackers are, luckily, amateurs with one-track minds. Create a database table to log failed login attempts. For every failed attempt, log at least the datetime, IP, sessionID, username (which should be unique on your site), reason for failure and failure count.
In a query following a failed login, verify whether the IP, sessionID or username match any in the failed_login table, and, if so, whether the current datetime is within, say, 12 hours of the last failed login. If yes, increment the failure count by 1. If no, insert a new row in the table.
Use client-friendly messages to inform your visitors why their login fails. Study failed logins for common patterns. It just might be that you are the culprit, and that you have to improve your login design. There is one good reason for doing all that. Then you will know that those in your failed_login table really had it in for you.
If your site traffic is high, then consider archiving old data. Throw nothing away!

Make iSight camera take a snapshot of the user when keywords are typed

I work in an APR and we have a lot of trouble with people trying to look at adult content on our customer machines. Obviously we have blocked these types of sites, but we cannot keep tabs on all the proxies. We have also deleted Photo Booth off of the machines otherwise the machines are 3 people deep on weekends and we cant demo stuff to customers. does anyone know of any free apps that will take a snapshot of the user when they type in a keyword such as "Adult Games" or "Meatspin", save that file and the word they typed on the HD somewhere? Or, some way of making Automator do that? Don't forget that we do not have photo booth on the machines. And it would be nice if the App/automator didn't make the iSight camera light come on, and also notified us when a keyword has been entered.

Why won't my iSight webcam work with iChat?

I have an iSight webcam and a Power Mac G5. I can't get the iSight to work with iChat, but it works with Yahoo Messenger, although the image is choppy. I have cable internet access, and I am connected to a wireless router (though not wirelessly, but with an ethernet cable). Is the router somehow interfering with iChat and the iSight camera?

Hi Tim,
On a slightly different note does the iChat Open ?
If you click on the green Video icon next to your own Buddy pic at the top of the Buddy List do you see your Preview ?
DO you have any Buddies yet ?
Try Table 1 first after doing what Defcom says

IMovie 4 won't recognize isight camera

I have a MacBook Pro, bought it used a few months ago. I'm just now getting around to using the isight camera with iMovie. But iMovie does not recognize the iSight camera. I am able to use photobooth and iChat with the camera, so I don't think the problem is iSight. I am using Mac OSX 10.5.8
The iMovie version is iMovie 4, which surprises me since this is a relatively new MBP. But whatever, it should work. Any suggestions will be appreciated.

First of all, thanks for the responses.
You're welcome.

Perhaps understanding a few facts will reduce your confusion.
The Macs with the built-in camera are a fairly recent development. In fact, these Macs were introduced at (approximately) the same time Apple introduced iLife '06, which includes the iMovie version compatible with built-in iSight.
... 2) installs movie software that ...
iMovie is part of iLife, which is sold separately:
http://www.apple.com/ilife/ (current version)
The fact that iMovie and other iLife apps are bundled with current Macs is a bonus for the customer.
iLife was not bundled with some older Macs, but owners of older Macs that meet iLife system requirements can add the versions they need. Note that many requirements, not only camera compatibility, differ for different iLife versions.
If you consider adding the current iLife, check your MacBook Pro's specifications against iLife '09's system requirements:
http://support.apple.com/kb/SP515
... 3) doesn't work with the built-in camera. I know, I know, different versions, usb vs. FW, etc. Still seems crazy to me.
The software that came with the Mac you bought did work with the built-in camera.
It is important to consider system requirements for any software you add to your computer. As regards older software versions like iMovie 4 and built-in iSight, I think it impossible that any software could be made to be compatible with hardware that has not yet been developed as of the software release date.
Based on this information, I hope that this lack of compatibility no longer seems as "crazy" to you as it initially did.
Here's another question: I bought this used, and migrated my old data on to it. Now, did it transfer the "old" version of iMovie from my old computer (iBook) when it transferred the data?
The answer will depend on how you "migrated." If you migrated your files manually, only those things you personally moved will be transferred.
If you used Migration Assistant, the answer is likely yes. This article may be of interest:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1963
Is it possible this newer computer still has a newer version of iMovie hidden somewhere in its bones?
This answer, too, depends on what you did. If you erased the used disk before you began using it, a newer version of iMovie will only be there if you reinstalled it or "restored" your MBP using the disks that originally came with it.
If you did not erase, all iMovie versions that currently reside on your MBP should be in your Mac's "Applications" folder unless someone has moved them.
With Leopard (OS X 10.5) being comprised of hundreds of thousands of files, finding individual files manually is unlikely. At this time, your best choice is to look at the disks that came with your MBP. If you got an iLife DVD, you can install the version that came with your MBP now.

IChat AV 2.1 on Mac Mini won't recognize iSight Camera

I am helping a friend connect an iSight camera to his new Mac Mini.
The green light on his camera comes on, but iChat's preferences panel claims no camera is detected. No green camera icon is displayed in the buddy list.
His camera works fine on my PowerBook G4.
Please help if you can.

Hi Larry,
Welcome to the Apple Discussion Pages.
1) OK First he should try to kmake sure his computer is functioning as sweetly as it can.
Go Here and force the Cron scripts to run (See Routine Maintenance Tasks). Repair Permissinons afterwards as well.
2) Also check the View menu in iChat and the Show Video Status should be Ticked. (Also check the Show Audio Status)
3) In the Video menu the Camera Enabled item should be Ticked.
4) If this does not help then delete
com.apple.ichat.plist as this holds the Camera details.
Restart iChat afterwards.
This .plist file is in Users/(youraccount)/Library/Preferences.

Why does the camera take grainy pictures

I have two iPads of the same ipads.
I noticed one of them takes grainy pictures and videos and the others quality is great.

I have not yet set them side by side. But pretty much so. One of them gets a poor
picture in sunny conditions, they are both models with retina display.
The only difference is one
has more memory and a CDMA modem.

When I take a picture with my iPod touch 5G they do not come out as 4 inch pictures, how do I make it so the camera takes fitted pictures?

When I take a picture with my back camera the pictures have black bars on the top and bottom. They do not come out 4 inches. How do I fix this?

Because the screen aspect ratio is different that the camera aspect ratio. The only way it could fill the screen vertically would be either to stretch/distort the photos vertically or to cut off some of the photos on the sides.

Why can I no longer make payments to itunes with my debit card?

I have for many years used my ebit card as the method of payment on my account, but last month it failed and now wont accept the details at all.
Any help welcome as I dont have a credit card.

Hello Horsewood74,
Thanks for the question. Have you recently moved or changed addresses on your Debit card? Sometimes if the iTunes Store does not have the up-to-date information like zip code, your payment may be declined:
When there is a mismatch between the iTunes Store's records and your credit card company's records, you will receive an error message stating that your credit card's security code isn't valid or that your zip code does not match your bank's records.
In most cases, this issue is caused by a formatting error in the billing address that you have provided. You can correct the issue by verifying that the information you have provided is correct, or by changing the format of your address to match the format that your credit card company has on file.
via iTunes Store: My credit card's security code or zip code does not match my bank's records
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1646
As with many other merchants, the iTunes Store and Mac App Store places an authorization hold on your payment card account for the approximate amount of any purchase you make. If you update your billing information, the iTunes Store or Mac App Store will place an authorization hold on your payment card account, usually in the amount of 1 USD or the local currency equivalent, to verify your account information.
