Thanks Pete!

Hi,

We just encountered this on a 10.4.9 server

We managed to fix the problem by getting the latest version of Storable and installing it into:

/System/Library/Perl/5.8.6/darwin-thread-multi-2level/auto/*
/System/Library/Perl/5.8.6/darwin-thread-multi-2level/Storable.pm

Get the release from…

http://search.cpan.org/~ams/Storable-2.15/

http://search.cpan.org/CPAN/authors/id/A/AM/AMS/Storable-2.15.tar.gz

…as root do

tar -xvzf Storable-2.15.tar.gz
cd Storable-2.15
perl Makefile.PL
make
make test
make install

Pete

When the mood strikes me, I like to take a self-portrait using Photo Booth, the cute little app that Apple has built. I send the photo of to friends and loved ones. It is a more interesting way of saying hi than:

Hey -
What’s up?
I’m bored.

i

At any rate, I wanted to do that this afternoon. I fire up Photo Booth and it tells me another application is using the iSight camera, please close that application and try again.

  1. What a very Windows-esque uninformative error. How the hell was I supposed to know which application had the camera pinned?
  2. Why didn’t I get the choice to close the mystery app from the error message?
  3. WTF? See #1

I searched the process list to no avail. I went so far as to log out and log back in. Nothing. I deleted Photo Booth’s plist. Nada.

So I used the intarwebs to go to the Google. Sure enough, people are having the same issue I am. “Solutions” range from zapping the PRAM to renewing your DHCP lease. As my dad would say, “That’s about as helpful as pig in shit” – no idea what that really means but it sounds appropriate.

I took the very drastic action of rebooting. REBOOTING! My Mac. Yes, I rebooted. This, in my opinion, is an admission of total and utter failure.

And now I can take silly picture with Photo Booth. Aren’t you glad?
It works!

In Apple’s eyes, if they release a product, recognize the revenue from said product, and then enable a funciton in that product that you’ve already paid for, they violate SOX. Any SOX experts out there?
