I just upgraded 4.5 year old iMac from Tiger (10.4x) to Leopard (10.5.8) and now Photo Booth (v.2.0.3) doesn't load. Any suggestions?
iMac, Mac OS X (10.5.8)
Hi Joseph, open Console in Utilities, watch for clues/messages when trying to start Photo Booth... any?
Hi BDAqua- Just tried your suggestion and got nothing while launching Photo Booth, but there were messages from earlier attempts. I'm going to attach a screen capture here of Console to see if you can understand them.
To give you a little more info, The Photo Booth screen appears on my daughter's iMac, but she just gets the spinning beach ball so we force quit.
Whew, no idea why it'd be stuck trying to decompress what video!???
To find out if it's system wide or user specific, try this...
Open System Preferences>Accounts, unlock the lock, click on the little plus icon, make a new admin account, log out & into the new account.
Does Photo Booth work in the new account?
Boot in Safe Mode? See What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode? (Mac OS X)
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107392 Takes a while to run, but it usually "fixes" problems.
After it boots in Safe Mode, see if Photo Booth will open. If it does, then Restart normally & see if it opens.
Cheers, Tom 😉
Thanks for the suggestion. I will try this later. No time to mess around with this as I am on deadline for a client.
