iMac Camera Question

Mine has a little green light that come on when I open FaceTime.

 

mine has got a very small green led that turns on when the camera is on, I am afraid that you might have a faulty one

 

Dan, you have 90 days of free AppleCare telephone support, chances are it's just a setting you don't have correct. Give them a call, if you don't know their number (I don't know where you are located) you can start with:

There is no setting (for obvious security reasons). The light is hard-wired to the camera. When the camera is turned on, the light is too.

If yours isn't on, it's faulty. Should be covered by warrantee or statutory consumer rights.

 

Heh I would sketch out so bad if I saw that happening. I'd cover it.

I'd be worried someone was hacking it. I'm sure that's not the case but it's not unheard for that to happen on Windows PC's. I put a little piece of tape over it just in case
