The built-in iSight camera on Macintosh computers is offby default; the green indicator LED will illuminate when the camera is activated. The built-in applications Photo Booth, QuickTime, and iMovie have direct access to the camera. Some third-party applications can also access the camera (for example, Skype and some Flash browser plugins that support video recording or chat). To turn the camera off you will need to either Quit the application that is using the camera or use the controls, available in some applications, to turn the camera off/on.

Can't install vivitar camera software on mac?

Very few Vivitar cameras come with Mac OS X support the software is often for Windows computers. Try connecting the camera to the Mac with the USB cable, turn the camera on, and see if iPhoto or the Image Capture application recognises it. If the camera has a removable memory card then the addition of a card reader may help. Specific details of camera and version of Mac OS X would help.

Turn Off Your Camera Before Ejecting The Memory Card?

You have to turn your Olympus camera all the way off before you take the memory card out and put a new one in. If you do not, there is the chance that the camera will automatically format the disc. This means that everything that you have on it will be erased. Getting these pictures back is sometimes impossible. If you turn the camera off first, this cannot happen. Your pictures will be safe.
