how to fix photo booth no camera connected?
When i go on photo both on my iMac it says "There's is no camera connected.
iMac, Mac OS X (10.6.8), null
One of these will fix your problem:
(1) If restarting your Mac doesn't fix the problem,
(2) use Apple's http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2090.
(BTW - The Troubleshooting article calls the camera an "iSight". However, after the article was published, Apple has changed the built-in camera's name on newer Macs from "iSight" to "FaceTime" and then to "FaceTime HD." Regardless of the name of your built-in camera, the same info and troubleshooting applies.)
Be sure to test more than one Apple app (Photo Booth, FaceTime, iMovie, QuickTime Player, etc.) in more than one user account. Do NOT use the "Guest" account for this test. If you do not have more than one user account for the testing, create a new one now. If you need help, how to do it is explained in http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201754.
A "Standard" user account is all you need for testing.
(3) If your cam won't work properly even with Apple apps, use your Mac's Disk Utility to repair permissions.
Then download and apply the latest Combo Update for your Mac OS.
The latest 10.6.8 Combo is at http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399.
Repair permissions again immediately following the system restart that completes the Combo update.
Then test your camera again to see if it is working now.
(4) If none of the above suggestions resolve your trouble, contact Apple or an Apple-Authorized Service Provider to have your Mac professionally serviced. Be sure to backup your Mac before tendering it for service.
