The camera on my MacBook will come on unexpectedly and I can't turn it off without shutting down the computer. How can I turn it 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.

I keep losing the ability to use the microphone to input notes how can I turn the microphone back on

I keep losing the ability to use the microphone When creating or adding to existing NOTES App that came with my iPhone five how can I turn the microphone back on? It reactivated for a while after the new iOS 6.1 update but only for a couple days.

I'm very sad about that.

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.

How can we test the camera megapixel?

Hi All,
I need to know how can we test the camera megapixel?
For instance: If i have a 2MP camera how would i test it is 2MP, is there any measurement device or standards for mega pixel?

1600 x 1200 is 2mp not 1.3. Your friends phone must also be 2mp or the picture was taken on another phone.
It's easy to work out yourself.
1600 multiplied by 1200 = 1,9200,000 pixels more commonly known in the industry as 2mp.
1.3mp is 1280 x 960 (1,228,800 pixels).
More megapixels does not always equal better quality. The lens and software are also a big quality factor. I have seen many 1.3mp phones that take better pictures than a 2mp phone because they have a better lens.

How,can,I,adjust,the,camera,settings,on,my,2009,Mac,to,16:9,format?

I want to use the camera on my 2009 iMac to shoot some footage for a video project. The project is in 16:9 wide screen. How can I adjust the camera to shoot in this format?

Thanks for letting us know your questions was answered! A few other thoughts....

True, the viewed camera image is always 4:3 with your old iMovie 6 HD, but experiment a bit.
Some of the iMovie 6 video formats you can select when you create your iSight clips in the separate iSight project can create a 16:9 frame. That frame will contain your 4:3 iSight image but be filled out to 16:9 with symmetrical black bars on the left and right sides of the image. These clips will be importable into your widescreen project. Although the portions recorded on your iSight will contain the black bars that keep the 16:9 aspect ratio you need, you should be able to include both the iSight captured video and your other video clips in the same 16:9 final product.
If you have a 16:9 digital cameras that can record the clips, use that to get the format you need and better image quality than iSight can provide.
However, if you really need to record 16:9 iSight video, and if your Mac has QuickTime Player (version 10.x), try using QTX. After you open a "New Movie Recording" window, QTX can change camera recording aspect ratios by using its Preference controls as shown in this image of the :
If you really need to use an iSight to capture widescreen video that is not block-filled, another option would be to use a later iMovie version that can record widescreen views of your inbuilt camera. I use iMovie '11 to do this, but, if you don't already have later versions, be sure to check System Requirements for later iMovies before you buy to see if they can work with your Mac OS version.

I had no problem understanding your post, and I actually enjoyed the non-standard title. I hope you don't mind my strange attempt at humor, but it is apparent that you were as able to understand my reply as I was your question.

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.

(1) Camera is already activated.
To use it, launch an app that operates the camera and tap the virtual shutter button.
(2) For more specific help, see the iPad User Guide for iOS 7.1 Software.
(If your internet connection is slow, it may take a minute for this link to open.)
Some apps that come with your iOS 7.1 and their User Guide references are:
Camera: Chapter 12, starting on page 68
Photo Booth: Chapter 19, starting on page 86
If you live in a country that does not block it, FaceTime: Chapter 9, starting on p. 58.
View photos you have already made in Camera Roll: Chapter 11, starting on page 63.
(3) If you want to explore other camera possibilities, you can search the iTunes Apps Store for other apps that can use your camera.

How can I turn my camera on

I am using skyoe and my camera is not functioning (I have no green light next to the camera).
I have opened photobooth etc and cannot get the camera to function, how can I enable the camera

You should first check the status of the hardware.
Go to: Apple Menu / About This Mac / More Info. In the left hand column, under Hardware, click on USB. The right side will show the USB Device Tree. It will be a long list. Somewhere in the list is there a camera listed?
If you are not sure, you can post a screen shot of that part of the screen.
