Problem With Macbook Camera
Yesterday my built in iSight camera made a change. Insteed of normally having the green light on while durring use (photoboth, ichat, ect) it now burns whenever the notebook is running (and even when its asleep. If i open photobooth to use the camera it just gives a green background and I am not able to figure out what is gonig on. Is there another program i can use to test the camera out with to determine if its the camera/camera setting or if its just photobooth? Or if you guys have any other suggestions about how to go about fixing this issue. I checked system preferences to try to find any settings but was unable to.
Please realize this may be due to me changing something I wasnt supposed to, I am fairly new at Macs and have been pokeing around some to learn them. I need to start remembering what i touch!

You may also want to open Activity Monitor and see if any of the things running appear to be related to the isight. I'm not expert here, however...
If you haven't already, you may also restart your macbook-- not sure if you have yet.
I've tried a brand new account, logged in as root and fixed permissions - all nada.
