Is it possible to reinstall Photo Booth?
The program hasn't been able to open for years, it freezes and then I get the beach ball spinning.
I am thinking that uninstalling and then reinstalling might help, but I have no idea how to do this. I can't find anywhere to re-download the application, and since all Mac's don't have CD drives, there is no disk to reinstall anything!
Any help/information would be great, thanks!
Hi Becky!
Thanks for the reply! So sorry I didn't get back to you sooner!
So I tried all of the things mentioned in your link, to no avail!
It's strange, as I am able to use my camera for things like facetime, zoom, skype...etc..
it's just that for some reason Photobooth just completely freezes, it's so strange. I can't pin down exactly when I stopped working properly.
I have the most up to date version of Catalina, so I would imagine I have the most up to date version of Photobooth!
Thanks for the help!
Hey ithew,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
I see from your post that you're having trouble opening an app because it freezes and isn't responding. I'd be happy to help out.
First, I want you to try the steps here:

Just to add, Photo Booth is part of macOS and is not available as a separate download. You would have to reinstall the OS to get a new copy. Try the provided link first.
