How do I turn off the camera on my MacBook Pro?

I was using Facetime and quit it, but the isight camera on my computer is still on. I've tried reopening and quitting photobooth and facetime, but it's still on. Can anyone give me any advice on how to turn it off? Thanks!

Restart your Mac.
Actually Quit the Facetime App. Just closing the window might not actually close the program.

    how do i turn off the startup sound on macbook pro?

    You don't. You may find some third-party software that will, however. Try Auto Mute.
    Alternatively, you can try this:
    I think this is the best and simplest solution. Open a Terminal window and type (or copy/paste) the following to turn down the startup noise:
         sudo nvram SystemAudioVolume="%00"
    Press RETURN.
    And to restore it to the original value type:
         sudo nvram -d SystemAudioVolume
    Press RETURN.
    That's all folks.

  • How do I turn off the Camera access from the lock screen

    how do I turn off the Camera access from the lock screen ?

    Only by hiding the camera via Restrictions. Settings>General>Restrictions. That hides the camera when unlocked unless you go to Restrictions  and unset that Restriction. That is not way currently from just preventing camera access only from the lock screen

  • How do I turn off the camera lights when recording a video with the Android Turbo?

    I want to use the Andriod Turbo camera video function in ambient lighting using the forward lens.  But when I start recording both lights stay on.  I can video with ambient using the look back lens.  Not as good a quality and harder to aim.
    Is there a setting that can turn off the lights until I want them?  How is it done?
    Thanks for the help.

    Thank You!  Problem solved.  I am a new user to 'smart phones' and my original question probably should have been "How Do I Find The Camera Settings Menu?"
    It wasn't obvious, but your reply got me searching again.  I found that if you drag your finger from the left side of the screen to the center the semi-circular menu appears on the left.  There I found the light control and other options.
    I didn't know it existed and the manufacturer's manual that came with the phone gave no instructions on the camera operation.
    abcdefg4, your comment helped me search a little harder.  Thank you again.

  • How can I turn off the camera shutter sound on an iPhone 6 bought in the U.S.?

    I know some countries don't allow the camera shutter sound to be disabled, but I'm not sure if the U.S. is one of those countries. Is it? If not, can someone tell me how to disable it please?

    Use the mute switch on the side of the phone above the volume buttons.

  • How can I turn off my password on my MacBook Pro?

    I (somehow) created a password whenever my MacBook Pro is either turned on or awaken from sleep mode because I was having issues with my roommates. They have since moved out, and I cannot remember how I created the password, or how to turn it off completely. I went into System Preferences>Security & Privacy, but don't see any option of turning it off completely, just changing the time it goes to sleep and asks for a password to turn back on.
    Thank you.

  • How do I turn off the camera shutter sound everytime something loads?

    I keep getting a camera shutter type sound when on pages like Google, or hotmail, or any "active" page, loading pictures on websites for instance. Sometimes when things are happening rapidly it becomes a distorted cascade of the sound, like a loud chirp or worse. You can turn the sound down using the usual device sound but then, of course you can't listen to any music or anything else for that matter. It's extremely annoying and now that I synchronised my laptop with my desktop they both have the same problem. I've checked all the settings and can't find a way of disabling it. I don't exactly know what is triggering it but it seems to be when something is loading.
    I'm running firefox 18.0.2 on a Mac running Snow Leopard 10.6.8. Anything else I can tell you?

    hello, can you try to replicate this behaviour when you launch firefox in safe mode once? if not, maybe an addon is interfering here...

  • How do I completely turn off font smoothing on my MacBook pro?

    I am at a loss. I've seen dozens of people complain about this, but I'm still hoping there's a solution: How do I turn off font smoothing on my MacBook pro? I've toggled the anti-aliasing options every which way, and no matter what I do, the text is always slightly blurry (there's always a slight halo of grey around the characters to smooth them out). This would be the perfect computer if I could just turn that dang feature off completely, but as it is it's so hard on my eyes I can't use it for reading or writing for any extended period.

    DigiLloyd posted some aditional info on this subject, here:
    "Apple abandoned useful font smoothing user interface support in Mac OS X Leopard for a “moron setting” in Mac OS X Snow Leopard, leaving those with non-Apple displays high and dry with unattractive text display.
    You’ll need to use Terminal to set things right (or at least better, which is not to say optimal)."

    I assume the Rulers are showing. In that case, to get rid of each line use the Move tool to straddle the line and drag it whence it came. I really didn't need to add this comment but it is the first time in years I have had a chance to use the word "whence".

    After the firmware upgrade last week, the local WIFI networks pop up when I turn on my phone, I have WIFI turned off, how do I turn off the pop up?

    What OS X version are you using?
    Can you take a screenshot of the pop-up notification?
    To take a screenshot hold ⌘ Shift 4 to create a selection crosshair. Click and hold while you drag the crosshair over the area you wish to capture and then release the mouse button. You will hear a "camera shutter" sound. This will deposit a screenshot on your Desktop.
    If you can't find it on your Desktop look in your Documents or Downloads folder.
    If you want to attach a screenshot to a response here, click the "camera" icon above the text field:
    This will display a dialog box which enables you to choose the screenshot file (remember it's on your Desktop) and click the Insert Image button.
    ⌘ Shift 4 and then pressing the space bar captures the window the cursor is on.
    ⌘ Shift 3 captures the entire screen.

  • Turning off the camera shutter sound

    How do you turn off the shutter sound of the camera? Even in vibrate only sound profile the camera still makes the noise when taking pictures.

    There is no option in the phone to turn off camera sound, you will need a 3rd party app to have that option. You can try peek-a-boo, its a free app.

  • How can I turn off the autocomplete/autofill function in Mail?

    How can I turn off the autocomplete / autofill function in Mail (Mail 7.2)? I know how to remove email addresses from the 'Previous recipient' list, but I simply want to deactivate the autocomplete function for email addresses entirely.
    You used to be able to do this via Mail - Preferences - Composing, but I upgraded to Mavericks today, and the option to deactivate the autocomplete funtion for email addresses is no longer there.
    Does anyone know where to find it?
    Thanks in advance for your feedback,
    Tine

    This is rather surprising.
    What you are describing is a feature called "word completion", provided by the Cocoa text engine, and hence used by apps which rely on it, including iWork, TextEdit, and others. When you are typing, or the insertion point is in a suitable position, pressing ⎋, or ⌥⎋, or F5 brings up the word completion list. Of course, it only works if there are suitable words in the list. For instance, if you type "Schad", intending to write "Schadenfreude", you can press ⎋ as much as you wish and nothing will come up. But type "Zeit" and then ⎋, and you'll get "Zeitgeist" sure enough.
    What is surprising is that you describe it as if you had just came across it, whereas it has been available for years (although I believe that originally it was activated only by ⌥⎋). iWork (including Keynote) is a little different, because, in addition to ⎋, ⌥⎋, and F5, word completion is also activated by ⌘⎋.
    I don't know how to turn off this feature, if indeed it can be turned off.
    Usually Escape would make me exit the text box
    Is there any chance you mis-remember? The Keynote shortcut for exiting text editing and selecting the text box is ⌘↩ (command-return).

  • How do I turn off the Icloud erase when the phone is turned on?

    My husband is a ship captain and He thought he lost his phone, I went through all the procedures of changing his account numbers etc on email
    only thing he has on his phone is facebook and email  . He didn't have the find my phone app on when he lost it so I deactived it on our cell provider
    and from I cloud I set up the find my phone to erase it when its turned on.
    Well yes he found it, so I have set back up with the cell service but how do I turn off the find my phone from erasing it when he turns it back on?
    And what is it going to erase??
    Will he still be able to use it as a phone at least?
    thanks for your help!

    Too bad.  It completely erases the phone so it will be like it was when it came out of the box.  He will need to go through the initial setup screens on the phone again to reactivate it before he can use it, and it will require entering his iCloud password to do so.
