Use Skype a lot and don't want to be caught out when stuffing my face with food or something else. ;p Thank you!

Some application is using the green light. iSight Disabler cannot disable the iSight for applications currently using the iSight, only applications started after iSight Disabler has been run. Did you ever use a previous version of iSight Disabler on this computer? Have you tried rebooting your mac? If so, does the green light remain on perpetually? @Eric Weir, the green light means the iSight is “in use”. Some application is using the green light.

As near as I can tell, the iSight camera continues to run after running the script. At least the little green light at the top of the screen stays on. Version of OS X: 10.6.8 Version of iSight Disabler: 4 How are you running the script: I placed it in ~/library/scripts/iSight and then run it from the scripts menu in the menu bar. Did you quit/restart the applications using the iSight after running the script? I don't know what application is using it. I suspected Skype, but starting it, quitting, and restarting has no effect. The little green light remains on. What application can still use the iSight after running the script? Hmm. Just tried PhotoBooth. It reports no connected camera. When then does the green light remain on, and what does it mean? Thanks, Eric Weir I’ve installed version four. As near as I can tell, the iSight camera continues to run after running the script.

The "Enable" button simply reapplies the read permissions that are removed by the "Disable" button. @Front, yes there is a button to “Enable” the iSight included in the script.
