Can u turn the camera permanetely off?

The camera turned itself on one day. i do not care why at this point it was either that the cpu f-ed up or it worse???? Regardless I do not use it and would prefer it to be turned off. Any help on acam shutdown option would be great
thanks

You could try removing the iSight Kext file. It's located in System->Library->Extensions/Apple_iSight.kext You might need a restart since the extension has already loaded.
I've never tried it and I certainly wouldn't just trash the file (make a backup) but that's was the NSA suggests to disable the built in cameras on Macs.

Can i turn the Laptop screen off while connecting the TV?

Dear All,
I am connecting my Mac to TV 32'' via mini display port converted to HDMI.
I am using it on MAC OS X 10.6.6, and on Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 also.
when i am connecting my TV, the 2 screens are on, Laptop screen and TV screen.
Can i turn the Laptop screen off while connecting the TV?
how to do this on both operating systems?
Thanks & Regards,
Boudy,

The quick answer is, hook up the tv to the computer, close the lid, then wake the computer up by clicking the mouse while the lid is closed. Not sure if it'll work while running windows, but I'd bet it does if you have the mac drivers installed on the win os.

How can I turn the camera on my MacBook off?

Quit all apps that are using the camera:
OS X Mavericks: Use your Mac computer’s built-in camera.
If you have hidden any Login items,
you should still be able to see if they are working in Activity Monitor.
If you are still having trouble, see Isolating issues in Mac OS X
and/or How to Troubleshoot iSight.

How do you turn the camera light off

Cannot get the camera light to turn off

That's strange behavior for your iPhone, ddavis1727. Do you have a flashlight application installed on your phone? Have you tried turning your phone off and back on? What software version (Settings > General > About > Version) do you have on your phone?

IMac connected to TV, can I turn the iMac screen off?

Hi,
I connected my Intel (white 20") iMac to my TV and I'm using the TV screen as the main screen with the menu bar and all that. But the iMac screen is always on, until you launch Front Row or Hulu..etc. then the iMac screen turns off. Is there a way to make the iMac screen to stay off permanently?
Thanks
Gene

On the MacBook, you can wake it while the lid is closed, and the built-in display will not be used. You can then open the lid, and the built-in display should still stay off. At least, that's how it worked with my older PowerBook. So the MacBook design is capable of doing it without any additional software; Remote Buddy just takes a short cut, which is why it is kind of cool, like it does to change the "Main display" from one to the other, or "Toggle mirroring," without opening System Preferences Displays pane Arrangement tab.
I was exactly where you specified in the Remote Buddy menu. The brightness control can adjust the brightness exactly like the built-in control, but even the lowest setting is not an OFF setting.

I am using BT Broadband home hub and want to use my time machine - Can I turn the wireless router off in TM?

Hi,
I have BT home hub which is now my main router in the house. I also have Apple TV which works off the router and a network adapter around the house which is perfect for all my needs. However, I also have a time machine but haven't used it for a while now as it's internal router overrides my current network which causes problems.
Being that i'm not very 'technical' I was hoping someone could give me a 'guide for dummies' instruction on how to turn off the wireless signal inside my time capsule without messing up the BT router?
Many thanks in advance
Alex

Thanks guys,
Sorry, just to clarify, I need to connect the ethernet cable to my home hub and my TC first before i can do this?
And once i've done this will my stuff be backed up via the cable or wireless?
I know these are probably very stupid questions but like I said, i'm a div when it comes to this stuff!

How do I turn the camera sound off in iOS 7 on my 4s?

Hi,
I just downloaded iOS 7 on my 4s. Everything is fine, but it now makes a "shutter/camera" sound when I take a picture. In iOS 6, I could turn that sound off. I can't seem to find where to do that in settings....
Can it be turned off?
Thanks!
Emily

Thanks. That worked. Weird that their's nothing in settings....
Have a good one.

Can you turn the Monitor only off?

I sometimes leave my Mac on for a couple of weeks when I tar el for work since I access it from the road.
The monitor does go to sleep mode, but I was wondering if there is a way to have it simply stay off yet leave
the computer still working?

I have tried Ctrl + Shift + Eject and setting energy saver to 1 minute but as soon as I access the computer from the road the monitor turns on again. I would like to have it stay off completely while I am on the road. Is this even possible on my Mac?

I have at least one Canon remote that I've used with my 7D's. Unfortunately, I don't have it with me, because today's shoot doesn't require it. So I can't give you the model number. (Models come and go anyway.) It has a shutter button that you can press halfway to activate auto-focussing, just like the button on the camera. But you do have to make sure that the camera has an IR sensor. On a Canon DSLR, look for it where the fingers of your right hand would cover it up; I think that's intentional, so that a spurious IR beam won't fire the shutter while you're taking hand-held shots. Also, check that the camera and the remote are compatible, e.g. that they agree on the frequencies of light that are to be used.

I can't turn my camera off. It's on in my Facebook and I can't shut it off.

Double click your home button.
When the bar pops up on the bottom scroll through the list until you see Camera.
Hold down on it until it starts to wiggle.
Click the red minus sign.
Press the home button.
The camera will now be off.

HT4060 I can't find a definite answer anywhere regarding whether or not you need to turn the iPad mini off before charging. So my question is should I turn the iPad mini off or leave it on before charging? Thanks in advance.

I rarely if ever turn my iPad off. I charge it when the battery is low or at night while I'm sleeping. Even then I close the Smart Cover and let it sleep but I do not turn it off. It doesn't matter when you charge the iPad.
The most efficient way to charge the iPad is to use the charger that came with it and plug that into a known good wall outlet.

Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps BEFORE doing the reset.

I have been having issues with not receiving texts and voicemails daily, for a few months now. If I turn the phone completely off, when I turn it back on the messages will flood in from hours before. I can't be continually turning off my phone in case someone left me a message. How do I resolve this issue?

Wifi: my Cell phone will remember 10 wifi connections. So delete any you don't use often and your home wifi and try to enter home wifi again.
if it still won't connect to home wifi, call your internet provider for help. You may need a newer router or different settings Or upgraded service. Your phone seeks the best connection and will refuse lesser connections.
last resort. Backup the phone. Do a full reset, then restore as new with the backup.
if still not fixed, go back to apple and insist on repair or replacement.
HOWEVER. voicemail is not a wifi issue, it's a carrier function, which is why the SIM card is a suspect.
