Photo Booth
 

My sister's Photo Booth is black but isight is on

Do you see yourself through the camera?
 

How do you know isight is on. Do you see yourself through the camera?

Green light is on. It works on iChat.

When you turn on Photo Booth, you are supposed to be able to see yourself through the camera. Do you?

Should & I don't

What happens if you log out and in again. Are you able to see yourself when you turn on photobooth?

Haven't tried. How would that help?

Sometimes the system will reset itself particularly if it's due to a plist file.

Didn't work:-(

I had this same problem awhile ago and re-setting the SMC fixed it. It's worth a shot as its pretty easy to try. Hope it helps.

It's a powermac g4 sawtooth.

Photo booth works on my Mac.

What version of photo booth do you have? Is it version 1.1? Have you updated to the latest version?

Which version of OS X?

Os X 10.4.8

it is version 1.2

Did you ever have it working on the sawtooth?

Did Apple finally release it for all computers?

I know this article is from a while ago, so that is why I ask.

It never worked on the sawtooth:-(

Well. The comments in the article might explain why.

Check this article out as well, it may be of some help.

How can Photo Booth work on everything but sawtooth?

jareddigby, educate me a little bit. What is sawtooth? I went on Apple's website and don't see a model named sawtooth. Is sawtooth some kind of software?

I have another question. Did photo booth come already installed on this machine or did you or someone else installed it as a standalone app?

Being that it was introduced in 1999 (http://lowendmac.com/ppc/g4saw.shtml) I am guessing that photobooth did not come on it.

In the article I found above it also states that the reason the people think it doesn't work on it is the graphics card.

So to get photobooth to work I would suggest looking for a newer graphics card that might work on the older model Mac or just sit real still in front on the iSight and choose capture still.

Sawtooth is a g4 see: http://www.apple-history.com/?page=g...mily&order=ASC Photo Booth was a add on

As an add on, do you mean it was installed from a third party site or did Apple provide it for you?
