If Photo Booth doesn’t open

To open Photo Booth, your computer must have a built-in iSight camera or you must have an external iSight camera or other digital video camera connected to your computer.

In addition, Photo Booth will not open if another application, such as iChat, is using the camera.

If Photo Booth doesn’t open, try this:

  • If you’re using an external digital video camera, make sure the camera is connected to your computer and is turned on.

  • If you have another application open that’s using the camera, quit that application.
