Once upon a time, I shun down the camera(built-in isight) on my Imac, now I don't know how to restart the camera.

I can see the built-in iSight at the device manager, and its property is "normal". But how can I get it work again?

From apple help:
Using your Mac’s built-in camera
If your Mac computer or display has a built-in iSight, FaceTime, or FaceTime HD camera, you can use it to take pictures or videos with the Photo Booth application, create movies with iMovie, or video chat with your friends and family over the Internet.
The microphone (see A above) transmits and records sound. The location of the microphone may vary depending upon your computer model. The camera (see B above) takes pictures in Photo Booth or captures video in iChat or iMovie. The indicator light (see C above) glows when the camera is on.
To turn off the camera, close the active application window. The green indicator light turns off, showing that the camera is off and video has stopped.
So open the application you want to use the camera with. The program will control the camera. TRY: Open PhotoBooth. Click the red button. Watch for the green light next to the lens (C above)

  • I inadvertently speeded up the dialog of a book I am listening to and don't know how to reach the screen that says slower;normal; faster

    I inadvertently speeded up the dialog of a book I am listening to on my nano by selecting faster when I turned it off.  Now I can't return it to normal as I don't know how to get those selections up again: slower, normal, faster.  Can you help me?

  • Every time I click on a link, an OLD version of Firefox keeps opening, I don't know how to eliminate the old version (I don't see it in the applications folder). This hasn't happened with any other upgrades to Firefox. Can you help?

    This happens when I get an email with a link attached. Also, every single time I open up the NEW version, it defaults to the "welcome to Firefox 4" page. Is there a way to make it stop doing that too? Did I just download the new version too soon, before the bugs were worked out?

    Version 3.6.16 is opening....as it did when I clicked the link in your email message to me about this situation. The upgraded version (Firefox4) sits in my dock and the old version opens when I click on a link.

  • PLEASE HELP!!! I clicked on the wrong folder to start up in and now I don't know how I can start in Mac OSx 10.4 anymore.

    I have already pressed and held down the options key during start up but I can only select the HD drive (which is what I want) but I can't specify which folder to start up in (I accidently pressed 9 before instead of 10.4) and now I can't revert back to 10.4.  Whenever I start it now, it is just a grey screen with a floppy disk image in the middle with a blinking question mark.

    Will it start up in Safe Mode?
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1455?viewlocale=en_US
    If it will, then try starting up in OS X by holding down the x key during startup.
    Which exact iBook model is it?
    You can choose from this list:

  • First time using don't know how to insert the video to start editing

    first time using don't know how to insert the video to start editing

    First thing you should know is that After Effects is not a video editor. Premiere is for putting shots together to tell stories (which is editing), After Effects is for creating those shots (compositing and visual effects) and creating motion graphics.
    To use AE, start here: Getting started with After Effects

  • Hi, I just put a new internal hard disk to my MacBook after formattimg it and I don't know how to install the OS X? Any help please

    Hi, I just put a new internal hard disk to my MacBook after formattimg it and I don't know how to install the OS X? Any help please

    Be sure you have prepared the new drive correctly:
    Drive Preparation
    1.  Boot from your OS X Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button.  When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
    2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area.  If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing.  SMART info will not be reported  on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID (for Intel Macs) or APM (for PPC Macs) then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
    4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
    6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
    Steps 4-6 are optional but should be used on a drive that has never been formatted before, if the format type is not Mac OS Extended, if the partition scheme has been changed, or if a different operating system (not OS X) has been installed on the drive.
    When formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer.  Complete the OS X installation.

    Or better yet... try a search, I'm certain you'll find a solution to whatever issue you're experiencing.
    I have found that many times it is the things that make you most angry that push you to action. This was the case here. Thank you for causing me to get so angry that I found the answer myself.

  • Can't back up my Iphone5 to my macbook pro, it tells me it may be corrupted, also I don't know how to delete the old backup to redo it

    Can't back up my Iphone5 to my macbook pro, it tells me it may be corrupted, also I don't know how to delete the old backup to redo it

    Hi Caveman337,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!  The resource below will explain how to delete an old iTunes backup.  Before you do this, I would suggest creating an iCloud backup of your iPhone. 
    Back up and restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch using iCloud or iTunes - Apple Support
    http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT203977
    Back up using iCloud
    If you're using iCloud, it can automatically back up your content. Use these steps to turn on iCloud Backup:
    Tap Settings > iCloud > Backup. If you're using iOS 7 or earlier, tap Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup.
    Tap iCloud Backup to turn it on.
    Tap Back Up Now.
    After you turn on iCloud Backup, iCloud will back up your content automatically. You can return to this screen to see when the last back up happened.
    Create and delete iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch backups in iTunes - Apple Support
    http://support.apple.com/en-us/ht4946
    Where your backups are stored
    The folder where your backup data is stored depends on your computer's operating system. Make sure the backup folder is included in your data-backup routine. iTunes places the backup files in these places:
    Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
    The "~" represents your Home folder. If you don't see Library in your Home folder, hold Option and click the Go menu.
    Delete a backup
    If you want to delete a backup created by iTunes:
    Open iTunes Preferences:
    Mac: Choose iTunes > Preferences.
    Windows: Choose Edit > Preferences. Learn how to turn on menus in Windows 7 and 8.
    Click Devices. (The iOS device doesn't need to be connected.)
    iTunes will show the phone number, International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI) number, and serial number of the backed up iPhone when you position your mouse pointer over a backup. (Only the serial number will be shown for iPad and iPod touch). You can use this to find the backup you want to delete.
    Select the backup you want to remove.
    Click Delete Backup.
    When prompted, confirm that you want to remove the selected backup by clicking Delete Backup.
    Click OK to close the iTunes Preferences Window.
    Backups that have a date and time stamp in the backup name are copies of backups created by restoring the iOS device. The date and time in the left column are when the restore-from-backup occurred. The date and time in the right column are the last synced date; this shows how current the data is.
    I hope this information helps ....

    Hi fellow apple guys, i have this problem. Hope you can help me. I don't know how to use the function keys (F1 to F12) on my macbook air. Pls help

    Out of the box, to use the function keys as function keys, hold down the fn key when you press the key. Otherwise, you get the picture function on the key. You can reverse this behavior in the Keyboard system prefs.

    You have to use the right arrow on the remote to navigate all the way and highlight the submit button.

  • HT1414 I just tried to reset my iPad...then couldn't reset it.  I don't know how to install the operating system on it again

    I just tried to reset my iPad...then couldn't reset it.  I don't know how to install the operating system on it again

    Is this how you reset?
    1. Hold the Sleep and Home button down (together)
    2. For about 10 seconds
    3. Until you see the Apple logo (very important)
    4. Ignore the red slider

  • I was rubbing my keys and screwed up my font setting. i don't know how to reset the font to original mozilla setting

    i was rubbing my laptop keys. i must have hit the right key sequence to change the font setting. i don't know how to reset the font. i was in mozilla at the time, so only it was affected. IE still uses the correct webpage fonts. IE has a reset on their browser, does firefox?

    Have you tried closing Firefox and visiting the site again without restoring your session? This will bypass any temporary changes.
    If the problem is the font size, you can reset the zoom level:
    View menu > Zoom > Reset
    If you have the orange Firefox button, tap the Alt key or press F10 to display the classic menu bar where you will find the View menu.
    If that doesn't help, can you describe what's different in more detail?
