Photo Booth will not open

Question

Photo Booth will not open

I just tried to use Photo Booth for the first time in about a month. I get a message telling me that the isight camera is being used by another application. There are no applications open except photo booth.

Any ideas.

Power Book G4, Mac OS X (10.4.3), iWork must have Database and Spreadsheet componet to be Appleworks replacement!

HI Bernie,

Photo Booth requires an iSight camera (built-in or external), USB video class (UVC) camera, or FireWire DV camcorder; and an Intel or PowerPC G5 processor. Backdrop effects require an Intel Core Duo or faster processor. Backdrop effects when using a DV camcorder require fixed focus, exposure, and white balance. <--- <a class="jive-link-external-small" href="http://">http://www.apple.com/macosx/techspecs/

Backdrop effects are only included in the Leopard version of Photo Booth.
