my new macbookpro is a family computer. I don't want my daughters going on it when I'm not around. Is there anyway to disable it and re-enable for other times??
Couldn't work like that, the file in question is held in /System, so if it's there or if it's not the change is universal and not account specific.Make an account for them where the iSight file is gone?
Im also trying to find a solution to disable this. Im worried about the security aspect of it, where a piece of malware or website could use the camera to take pics/video over the web. Sure it may sound paranoid, but its possible.
Why wouldnt Apple allow us to turn this off?
You know if its on by its green light, so that shouldn't be a problem...
Has anyone confirmed that the camera is in series with the green light, meaning that if the camera is powered up the green light will always come on? I read about a company trying to disable the green light for use with their software (a company that takes pics of people who steal notebooks).
