How to disable iSight?

I have recently discovered that my sister has been using the computer inappropriately (she's 15). Is there any way to completely disable the iSight camera from all chat applications? There doesn't seem to be such an option in System Preferences. Any help is highly appreciated as this is a fairly serious matter...

Scripts like this one can easily disable and enable iSight.
http://techslaves.org/index.php?page=62
However, be aware that the script simultaneously disables ALL USB webcams when active.
Moreover, enabling is just as easy as disabling, so disabling iSight is not a complete solution for your concern.
*I completely agree with the advice you have already been offered*. Administrator access is required to circumvent OS X's security features, so control it carefully. In addition to managing iSight use, you will also want to consider other functions that can permit activity that you might consider inappropriate, dangerous, or worse. In addition to inappropriate camera use, you should be concerned about controlling specific website access and the ability to send and receive email, instant messaging, and to access file sharing websites that can be used to transfer images, video, and other information.
The only way to really assure that a child is not using any computer inappropriately is to configure it with all available safeguards and then to carefully control and monitor all the child's computer time.

How to switch iSight off

Hi
I have purchested a video grabber but iSight is coming over it, do you know how to switch iSight off?
Ta

Technically the MBA's camera is called its "FaceTime" camera. The "iSight" name was dropped some years ago and now refers only to the iPhone's rear camera, and I'm assuming you are not referring to the external, FireWire iSight camera or its LED.
For privacy concerns Apple decided to make software control of the FaceTime camera's LED impossible. If the LED is off, so is the camera.
Stick tape over the LED as Klaus1 wrote. There is no other way to disable it, without physically disassembling the camera, potentially destroying it in the process.

How to disable parent window while popup window is coming

Hi,
I am working on Oracle Applications 11i.
I am able to get the popup window using the Java script in the controller.
Please see the below code for the reference.
String pubOrderId = pageContext.getParameter("orderId");
StringBuffer l_buffer = new StringBuffer();
StringBuffer l_buffer1 = new StringBuffer();
l_buffer.append("javascript:mywin = openWindow(top, '");
l_buffer1.append("/jct/oracle/apps/xxpwc/entry/webui/AddAttachmentPG");
l_buffer1.append("&retainAM=Y");
l_buffer1.append("&pubOrderId="+pubOrderId);
String url = "/OA_HTML/OA.jsp?page="+l_buffer1.toString();
OAUrl popupUrl = new OAUrl(url, OAWebBeanConstants.ADD_BREAD_CRUMB_SAVE );
String strUrl = popupUrl.createURL(pageContext);
l_buffer.append(strUrl.toString());
l_buffer.append("', 'lovWindow', {width:750, height:550},false,'dialog',null);");
pageContext.putJavaScriptFunction("SomeName",l_buffer.toString());
But here the problem is, even though popup window is there, i am able to do the actions on the parent page.
So how to disable the parent page, while getting the popup window.
Thanks in advance.
Thanks
Naga

How to Disable "Auto Align" in [System Pref.] - [Display] - [Arrangement]

Does anyone know How to Disable "Auto Align" in [System Preferences] -> [Display] -> [Arrangement]?
It always want to align the two screens from the top when they are lined up close together and I need them to be aligned from the bottom. Since the resolution heights are so close together (1080 & 1050) it does not allow one to align side by side from the bottom as it prioritizes top alignment.
I guess I'm looking for a script to disable this feature.

Anyone got any ideas?

How to disable the "turn page" event triggered by the scroll/swipe function?

The problem is as follows.
The default behaviour of Acrobat Reader (both stand alone and browser plug-in) is to allow scrolling/swiping with the mouse wheel/trackpad. This is useful when the pdf's page length is greater than the screen's own length, because you can read the pdf with no need to distract your attention from the text to the scrollbar button. However, the same scroll/swipe function turns into a usability problem when the pdf is embedded in a html page and the pdf's page length is smaller than the browser's length. In this case, the scroll/swipe turns the page, distracting your attention from the text to the unintended behaviour of the browser. What happens is that you are so used to scrolling/swiping that you did it unintentionally in the pdf's caption area. You really did not want to turn pages in the pdf. Furthermore, if the pdf takes the whole html page, being a website, the scroll/swipe function flips the website pages in ways that neither the reader nor the writer had ever intended. Hence the question. How to disable, in this case, the "turn page" event triggered by the scroll/swipe function? A JavaScript should do, but the SDK documents did not help so far...

How to disable airplay mirroring on iPad with ios7

How to disable airplay mirroring on iPad with ios7?

I've had this problem ever since I was at my friend's house- she has Apple TV- and my iPad connected automatically. So, I have no idea why any of the practical solutions that people think of are not options BUT, in terms of just getting it done, I did figure out a way. The key for me was getting near another Apple TV. I was out of town so I took my iPad to another friend's house who also has TV. Once I was logged onto their wireless network (the same network that their Apple TV is on-- that's how it connected in the first place), then the Airplay icon and options showed up from the bottom-draw menu and I was able to make sure that mirroring was turned off from the Apple TV section and to make sure the selection was on iPad instead. Problem solved. Now whether or not this will stay the same (rather than me having to make sure it stays at this setting everytime I link up to a network that has an Apple TV on it) I don't know. So my advice is find someone with Apple TV and connect to their network with your iPad and then change it.

If you see that pop up you enabled icloud. Whether you want or do not want now to use it irrelevant until you actually disable activation lock.
In order to do that you have to change your apple id back to do that just long enough to sign in and back out. System will ask you to verify, don't.
Just sign in on the prompt you getting and then logout. Once done, change apple id to what you have now and verify. Then decide if you want to
use icloud (who does not want to be able to track their phone if lost or stolen).

Can't use down key because it opens automator. Does any one know how to disable this short cut?

Everytime I press down on down key it opens automator. It doesn't let me delete the app. I don't know what to do, it is very frustating to fill in a chart when I can't use the down key. Does any one know how to disable this short cut?

Are you talking about the Down Arrow key? To my knowledge there is no way to use that key as a shortcut for anything. But look in the Keyboard section of System Preferences and the Keyboard shortcut tab.

I need to know how to disable my apps on my old system so that I can install them on new computer.

I've just purchased a new iMac and need to know how to disable my apps on my old system so that I can install them on the new one.

You are allowed to have two working installations so you do not have to disable the original if you prefer to have a backup. Otherwise, to disable you can just sign out thru the CC manager.

You cannot selectively lock the address book app. If all contacts are sync'd online you can delete the account. However, the all around better approach would be to backup the device and do a security wipe before loaning it.
