How can I disable the web cam on my macbook?

My macbook cam suddenly came on....can't seem to disable it anywhere....searching for answers online. If you know, please share.
Yes I've tried opening & closing "Photo Booth", and no I have never used a program which requires my cam to be enabled. The green light just appeared when I opened up my macbook today. Rebooting solves nothing, neither does rebooting in safe mode and repeating the same steps as before (opening/closing Photo Booth).
...the search continues!

Yep, did all of that already, pretty much have done it all....only thing I have not done is remove the battery....will try that next.
In the grand scheme of things, I really could care less about this so I just chip away with odd 5 mins here & there of troubleshooting.
.....I guess Apple is not immune to the incompetence of poorly engineered drivers, oh well, still better than a PC....just annoying sometimes to constantly have this light on and basically have no functional webcam.

Hey there,
What model laptop is this? Are you using the built-in webcam or is this a external web cam? Also what operating system are you using?
Thanks!

In Firefox 30, how can I disable the Web Developer console?

I use a keyboard macro program. Its settings, however, are preempted by the Web Developer tools' shortcuts. Therefore, I either want to (a) totally disable the Web Developer console or (b) remove/reset the shortcuts used by it.

The prefs for disabling some DevTools (devtools.*.enabled) are there on the <b>about:config</b> page, but I'm not seeing anything in the code that they are supported and tests only include a few prefs.
Disabling the developer toolbar works, but not disabling any of the tools in the web console AFAICT.
*http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-release/source/browser/devtools/framework/test/browser_dynamic_tool_enabling.js
I'm not sure if there is a bug about this or needs to be filed?
Why have prefs if they aren't working (I tried it with lockPref as well)?

How can I disable the web developer's damned shortcuts? For ex. reopening a page Ctrl+Shift+T now opens the console, not doing the basic FF command... Terrible.

Shortcuts are the same - web developers tools are opening now for CTRL+SHIFT+T instead of reopening a closed tab, etc... It's very annoying.
I cannot remove web developer, however I never wanted to install it.
about:config does not work, neither reinstalling Firefox....
Is there any solution other then switching to Chrome??

Yes, that is a problem with the Hungarian language pack.<br />
See my post in this thread for more details.
*[[/questions/975864]] Ctrl+Shift+T isn't working as intended.
Maybe a bug should be filed on this issue.

How can I disable the internal display on my MacBook Pro with connected external display?

I used this metod with the MagSafe power cable connected (see http://osxdaily.com/2012/06/15/yet-another-way-to-turn-off-internal-lcd-display- of-macbook-pro-with-lid-open/).
Open System Preferences and click “Mission Control”, then click on “Hot Corners”
Select a hot corner and pull down the menu to select “Put Display to Sleep”
Now connect the external display to the Mac and move the cursor to the newly created sleep corner to turn off the internal display
Close the MacBook lid and wait a few seconds before opening the lid again, the internal display should stay off while the external display will be powered on
This worked great under Mac OS X 10.7.4, but after the last update to 10.7.5 it doesn’t work more. The built-in display turns off really, but a few seconds after opening the lid it lights up again. Do you have any suggestions? Dimming the brightness or clamshell mode is not very useful.
MacBook Pro 13-inch,
2,7 GHz Intel Core i7,
Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 (11G56)
Thanks!

I have the same problem: not able to work with my external display mirroring the internal one - while shutting the internal display off.
I believe there is an issue with Mac OS X Lion 7.5 that Apple needs to solve, since apparently it does not happen with this version of the OS only...
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4315808?start=45&tstart=0
Or any other way to solve it?

Thank you!

How can I disable the camera's clicking sound?

That click is irritating and pointless to me. I understand they don't want people surreptiously photographing women's beavers on subways in Tokyo and such, but that is easily overridden by simply by turning off all the iPhone's sounds completely each time with the little button on the top of the left side of the phone.
My point is, I don't want to have to silence my phone each time, and then turn it back on again after taking some pictures, which I often forget to do. So how can I disable the silly camera sound without muting the entire iPhone each and every time I use the camera?

Actually in other countries, even on silent it will not mute the camera as it is their law to have camera sound.
As for here, that is only option, silent mode.

How can I get my web cam to work in Adobe Connect ?

This is actually an end user's question that I am having trouble answering to...
We use Adobe Connect to give online language classes, the end user is one of the students.
I cannot find the right Support answer to give him.
Problem:
My camera does not work when I connect to Adobe's rooms but camera works fine with other software.
Even though I suspected my old camera was working fine, yesterday I went ahead and bought a new camera.
I thought perhaps my webcam software may have been a problem, so I bought a different type camera with different software.
Even after removing all the old software, same result:
I surmised the problem might be caused by my firewall and security software, so once I tried changing the permissions for Adobe, and my Webcam, but that didn’t work.
Another time, I restarted my computer right before class and then turned off my firewall completely so there would be no interference but to no avail. I’m totally perplexed.
Isn’t there anyone else experiencing a similar problem?   Has anyone else found a solution?
I run Windows Vista with McAfee Internet Security Software. I always reboot the computer before class and open no other programs other than Google Chrome.
I now have a brand new Microsoft LifeCam Cinema Camera with LifeCam 3.5 Webcam Software.
I test my camera before going online. It always works fine.   Then I shut down the camera program and login into class.
When I “connect webcam” in the room, the light on my camera comes on (suggesting that it is ON), but only a black image is transmitted to the room.

Check to see if you have Google Voice installed. If so, remove it and see
if your problem vanishes. If not Google Voice, check to see if you have
any other communications software which interacts with your cam and
disable it. This was the problem I had with a similar problem on a Mac.

Thanks a lot Heyward for the swift reply !
I sent the advice out to the end user, but unfortunately this wasn't the
solution.
His reply is below :-
The default resolution of my new camera is already set at 640x360, but I
went ahead and tried several lower resolutions (e.g. 424x240; 320x240; and
160x120) but none worked in the room - camera still showed up as black
blank screen. Also, as far as I can tell, I don’t have the option of
adjusting the frame rate.
I started playing around with my Internet Security Settings to see if they
might be playing a role. So far, all to no avail.
Hmm...quite a tricky one - webcams always are - maybe if he can find a way
to adjust the frame rate (?).
He's going to fiddle about with the settings a bit more and see if
something does the trick.
If anyone has had a similar problem and found an ingenious solution,
please jot on a note on this thread.

How can I disable the automatic hiding of known file attachments, and why are always about 10 internet pages where I have to download something if i use firefo

How can I disable the automatic hiding of known file attachments, and why are always about 10 internet pages where I have to download something when I use mozila firefox?
Windows Computer

1) If you are talking about the file names on the computer, there is a
setting to turn off known file types. Open your file browser. Then
just under the location bar, press '''Tools,''' then '''Folder Options.'''
A new window will open. Select '''View.''' Look for
'''Hide Extensions For Known File Types.'''
2) Never NEVER '''NEVER''' download anything unless you know what
it is. If a web site claims it needs to download something, what is it?
It could be something like the flash player, '''or a virus ! !'''
Ask questions, or go somewhere else.

How can I disable automatic web translations?

How can I disable automatic web translations? Like when I open up IMDb and see the movie titles automatically translated from English to Croatian?

I had the same problem, then I changed the order of the languages in intl.accept_languages (about:config), so that the list now begins with en.
It's all working properly know, also on imbb in particular.

How can I disable the annoying orange outline while I tap a link or a input area?

i'm a user of Firefox for android. i've found a problem since I update to 16.0.2 and above. every time i tap a link or a input text in the web page, there always shows an annoying orange rectangle outline around the focused link or input area. Moreover, this outline would keep showing while I drag the page and start browsing other parts of the same page. how can I disable the annoying feature?

This is the default feature of the browser to indicate which element are you on, if you are actually on focus with the input or tapping on the right link.
Since this is a default feature of the browser, it now depends on the website's developer to override this feature with custom focus styles. Normally, in a browser, you can override this with user styles/scripts but as far as I know, Firefox Android does not support such features.
However, I found [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/929362 an article] that states that there is a [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/stylish/ plugin] that is compatible with Firefox Android that handles user styles.
