How do I turn off the iSight camera?

I've checked earlier discussions here on this and am not getting help with my specific question. The problem is that periodically, seemingly randomly, I notice that the iSight camera is on. At the moment it appears that no iSight-using application is running. How in that situation do I turn the camera off.
And while I'm at it, it's occurred to me in the past that someone/something else has got control of my camera. Is that possible? I mean, they're not gonna get anything very interesting on me, but thought that that could be what's going on is a little unsettling.
Thanks.

Hey Eric,
These guys are correct in that Skype, Linphone, FaceTime, Google+ and many other conference or chat programs / apps will turn on your built-in iSight or FaceTime camera if it is available.

Just keep in mind if you disable it with permissions, simply running the disk-utility "Repair disk permissions" will make the camera work again.
If you are able to use the terminal program with root privilege enter the following lines using Mac OSX 10.6
chmod 000 /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/CoreMediaIOServices.framework/Versions/A/Reso urces/VDC.plugin/Contents/MacOS/VDC
chmod 000 /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/CoreMediaIOServicesPrivate.framework/Versions /A/Resources/VDC.plugin/Contents/MacOS/VDC
chmod 000 /System/Library/QuickTime/QuickTimeUSBVDCDigitizer.component/Contents/MacOS/Qui ckTimeUSBVDCDigitizer
Or these if at 10.8
chmod 000 /System/Library/Frameworks/CoreMediaIO.framework/Versions/A/Resources/VDC.plugi n/Contents/MacOS/VDC
chmod 000 /System/Library/QuickTime/QuickTimeUSBVDCDigitizer.component/Contents/MacOS/Qui ckTimeUSBVDCDigitizer
chmod 000 /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/CoreMediaIOServices.framework/Versions/A/Reso urces/VDC.plugin/Contents/MacOS/VDC
To make it work again you can change the 000 to 755 and run the commands or simply run the Disk permissions repair.

How do i turn off the web cam? I shot camera?

I have a MacBook and the camera/web cam is on. How do I shut it off?

Hi
The camera should turn off automatically when no software is using it. As it's on all the time, it's possible that you have a login item which is automatically starting up and turning on the camera. Removing this login item should make the camera turn off until you need it.
To check login items, run System Preferences > Accounts
Select your personal account
Go to the Login Items tab
Deselect every option
Save/exit then log out and log back in again
With any luck, this should fix it

How do I turn off the new camera icon on the lock screen?

For me, I don't like the camera icon on the lock screen. I don't want someone picking up my phone and taking pics without my permission. How do I turn it off and remove the icon from the lock screen???

You can't unless you disable the camera app completely in restrictions. However, if you set the Require Passcode to Immediately in Settings>General>Passcode Lock>Require Passcode>Immediately the iPhone cannot be accessed even if the camera was opened accidentally and subsequently neither could your photos as a message would appear stating Your iPhone is Locked.
I appreciate that doesn't prevent someone from taking photos from your iPhone without permission.

Try starting the program Photobooth. It should turn on then.

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

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.

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

Somehow Escape button started bringing me an autocomplete list in Keynote which is monstrously inconvenient.
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.
