Check the camera indicator light
- When the camera is unavailable, you will see a 'no connected camera' error in programs and services that use it. Screenshot by Topher Kessler/CNET The fix in this case is to force-quit the.
- Same problem on my 2011 iMac. No camera available in Photo Booth, Facetime, or Skype. The Photo Booth screen says 'There in no connected camera.' The Facetime 'Video' menu shows no camera. The 'Camera' chooser in Skype 'Audio/Video' preferences shows 'No Camera'. 'sudo killall VDCAssistant' doesn't help. The 'Camera' item in the 'System.
If the camera indicator light next to the camera flashes green on your Mac notebook, contact Apple. Photoshop ipad download.
Update your software
If you have Fusion/parallels's running a Virtual Machine, the camera is available to that OS - If you exit Fusion and click on photo booth - you can see the picture again - hope this helps.
Check Screen Time settings
If your Mac is using macOS Catalina and you use Screen Time, make sure your camera is turned on and apps that use the camera have time available.
- Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, then click Screen Time.
- Click Content & Privacy in the sidebar, then click Apps.
- Make sure the checkbox for Camera is selected.
- Click App Limits in the sidebar. If you need to use your camera with an app in the list, make sure the checkbox for Limits is not selected.
Give apps permission
If your Mac is using macOS Mojave or later, choose which apps can use your built-in camera:
- Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, then click Security & Privacy.
- Click the Privacy tab, then click Camera in the sidebar.
- Select the checkbox next to the apps that you want to use your camera in. You might be prompted to quit and reopen an app before it can use your camera.
Try another app
Try to use your camera in another app. For example, if you can't use your camera in FaceTime, open Photo Booth.
Reset the SMC
If you still can't use the built-in camera on your Mac, resetting the SMC might help. Learn how to reset the SMC on your Mac.

MacBook :: Open Photo Booth, I Get The Camera Icon With A Slash Through It?
Apr 15, 2008I'm trying to get a Macbook's iSight working. The Macbook is running Leopard, currently. When I go to open Photo Booth, I get the camera icon with a slash through it - indicating the camera isn't connected/available. The same problem happens with other applications. I don't believe it is listed in System Profiler, though if it was listed as something other than 'iSight' I could have missed it.
I tried a few applications that are supposed to kick start it, reset the P Ram, reset the SMC, etc to no avail.

Intel Mac :: Use Photo Booth With A USB Digital Camera?
Jun 12, 2012I'm an illustrator, and I have enough need for photos of myself and various objects that I have a Nikon digital camera permanently mounted on a tripod in my studio. Is it possible to use Photo Booth as a viewfinder, so that I can see the camera's-eye-view of whatever I'm shooting? I know that literally, it can be done, because I currently use Photo Booth to shoot micro photos from a Celestron USB digital microscope. So why not input from a Nikon? Can it be done? If so, how?

MacBook :: Open Up Photo Booth It's Just Black, And The Green Light Won't Come On?
Nov 7, 2009My Photo Booth Says There Is No Connected Camera System
I've been having a strange issue with my iSight recently. It will work sometimes, and then one day for no reason, it won't. When I open up photo booth it's just black, and the green light won't come on. When I try and video chat, it says the camera is in use, which it obviously isn't. It will let me chat, though, the other person just can't see me. If I restart my computer, the camera will start working again, but the same issue will come back within a few days. About a month ago I called Applecare about this and a palmrest crack, and sent it in. Since I had to turn it off to send it in, though, they didn't see any problem when they received it and thus didn't do anything about it. Once the issue came back again, I took it to an Apple store (about an hour away) so I could show someone in person. The genius sent it in for me and they replaced several parts, but it's happening again! This is very frustrating, and I really don't want to have to make the drive again. My school store sells Macs and I might be able to take it there for them to have a look. I've had a few other issues with this machine, too, do you think they might just consider a replacement at this point? I've had a couple other small issues with the machine in the past (DOA battery, palmrest cracks, stuck pixels).
It's a late '07 Blackbook with plenty of Applecare left. Also, the issue started after (but not right after) I installed Snow Leopard, if that might have anything to do with anything.
