00diabolic Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 I have a sonix cam also. Photobooth sorta works for me. See my topic here for details: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=100897 I wish I could figure out why people here dont care to get sonix cams working in apple apps 100%. There is also a Apple app called PIP that works with a lot of cams and its from apple. It works with my cam but does not do anything like photobooth. It does the same thing that the web cam monitor does from sonix. You probably have that already. Sonix has 51% of the market and no one on this forum seems to care to figure out why they only work some of the time. There a pretty good cam and work great with sonix web cam monitor & PIP from apple but if that app can access the cam in OSX why not photobooth or ichat. I have tried all the third party drivers for cams with OSX that i could find and none of them work. SOMEONE COME TO OUR RESCUE... THIS SHOULD BE A SIMPLE PLUGIN FIX FOR AN EXPECT OSX'ER OR UNIX GURU.

00diabolic Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 i tried to do some stuff from the link but nothing workedby the way my web cam works fine with ichat Yours just works in ichat nothing special had to be done? I wish mine did. I get nothing in ichat and i have tried every third party driver pack I can find. So you also get no picture under the smaller version of photobooth under accounts in sys pref? strange I get that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

00diabolic Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 ohh one other thing did you try PIP from apple? Do a google for it. That also works for me. But it does nothing just like sonix webcam monitor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rokhoe Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 I´ve found a partial solution to the problem, at least it does fine on my vostro 1500. Download prefsetter at http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/syst...prefsetter.html. Under the search box type "booth" (without quotes), double click it and edit the string value of "NSWindow Frame PhotoBoothMainWindow" (I changed mine to 0, don´t know if another value would work). The thing is, we want photobooth to recreate its .plist file, which is at the moment the only solution. Then click "File" and "Save". Quit prefsetter and photobooth should start normally. What I noticed is, that after closing and opening photobooth several times, the problem of "quitting unexpectedly" returns. So the only way I found to solve this, is to reedit the .plist with the previously method I mentioned. Hope this helps some of you;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
