My Photo Booth is not working. There is no connected camera. Help, anyone?

I have been having this problem for weeks now and I hope some people here will be able to help me.

I just bought my MacBook Pro 13" about 6 months ago and I rarely use it because I still have my old MacBook with me. Recently, my Photo Booth won't work. It says, "There is no connected camera." Can anyone help me? Is there something to do with iSight? Tell me what should I do?

Help is much appreciated. Thank you.

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.7)

Make sure its selected in Camera - Build in iSight, you can try unselect and re-select it.

Sometimes using the camera in another application (skype etc...) helps and its working on photo booth after that.

Try doing a Parameter RAM reset - hold down command/option/p/r keys at start up and wait for three chimes before releasing the keys.

Use the suggestions here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2090

The SMC reset often fixes your problem. Be sure you follow the instructions for your particular Mac model.
