photobooth says no camera connected

Try rebooting.

I just noticed the same issue with my MacBook Pro. I'm wondering if a recent software update may have been an issue.

hi guys and gals, for awhile photobooth is saying no camera connected and screen is black.

For any iSight problems, first try restarting the Mac. If the problems persist, try all relevant suggestions from:

If your iSight problem still occurs in more than one app and more than one user account, the reset suggested there (SMC, not PRAM) often restores proper function of inbuilt iSight.



However, if your built-in iSight still does not work after carefully following all the suggestions in the "How to Troubleshoot iSight" article, and if iSight does not show as a USB hardware device in your Mac's System Profiler utility, yours is most likely a hardware problem. In that case, contact Apple or an Apple-Authorized Service Provider for service.
