Default Photo Booth hangs! - 04-16-2009, 12:44 AM

Hi everyone, my camera works fine in other applications like Skype but sometimes it freezes in photo booth after a few seconds. Does anyone have a solution for this?

Regards,

Aaron

Since you can't see the bottom third of the PhotoBooth window, why even bother with it?

You can delete PhotoBooth, install Pacifist, and using it browse the install DVD contents (either on the DVD itself or on the USB drive you copied it to). You should find PhotoBooth in there and reinstall it. I can't give detailed instructions because I haven't used it in months.

I have reinstalled it using Pacifist. It still does the same thing. Mine actually loads up, but doesn't show the main application window. All the options are greyed out to even "Take Photo".

Just use the scripts for making the screen scaled down in the FAQ section here to see the whole screen.

Update:

I fixed mine. I realized that following the slimming process will kill Photo Booth. I had to restore /System/Library/Compositions to make it work...

Good to know, thanks for reporting back.

I used Xslimmer to slim, which happens to protect Photo Booth. That explains why its protected now...lol
