How to Turn Off the iSight Light on an iMac

Close the iChat, iMovie and Photo Booth applications. If you don't see them open, search for them by typing in 'Photo Booth' (or the other applications) in the Finder at the top right of your screen, then opening the application.
Select 'Photo Booth' (or the other application names) from the menu that appears in the top left of your screen, then click 'Quit Photo Booth.' If you do this for all three applications, you should be able to turn off the iSight light.
Open your System Preferences folder by typing 'System Preferences' in the Finder menu. Select 'System Preferences' from the list of options that appear, then select 'Accounts' and 'Login Items.' View the list of items that are set to open upon Login. If Photo Booth, iMovie or iChat are on the list, deselect them by clicking the arrow next to the item. That may have been causing your iSight light to be on all the time.
Click the 'lock' item in the bottom left of the Accounts pane to save your changes, enter in your Mac username and password to confirm the changes, and click 'OK.' Your camera light should not turn on and be left on now, unless you open Photo Booth, iMovie or iChat.

Shut down the computer and unplug the power supply connector. Remove the battery. On the polycarbonate body MacBooks, use a coin to turn the 'battery latch' to the open position and lift the battery out. On the aluminum unibody Macbook, remove the back panel screws (note the location of each screw for replacement) and lift the panel off. Lift the battery out of the case.
Press the 'power button' and hold it down for 5 seconds. You may hear a tone or beep. Release the power button.

How to Fix a Mac OS Crash

Press 'Command-Option-Esc' at the same time. The Force Quit Applications window opens, displaying all of the open applications, with 'Not Responding' beside the application that caused the Mac to freeze. If this window does not open, press 'Command-Option-Shift-Esc' for three seconds to force quit the unresponsive program. Then open the Force Quit Applications window.
Click any application that says 'Not Responding' and click 'Force Quit.'
Restart your computer if you have not shut it down in more than 24 hours. This will clear memory being held by any troublesome applications.
Click the 'Finder' in the Dock to open a new Finder window. Click 'Applications,' then the 'Utilities' folder. Double-click 'Activity Monitor.' This will show you what resources are being used by processes and applications.
Click the '%CPU' tab to sort this column. Processes and applications are now sorted in descending order. Processes using most of the Mac's CPU (Central Processing Unit) will be shown first.
Click the 'Real Memory' tab to see which processes and applications are using the most memory. Do the same for 'Virtual Memory.' Real memory is stored on the memory chips, while virtual memory is stored on the hard drive.
Close any application that is using an unusual amount of memory or percentage of the CPU. What is unusual for memory usage will depend on the programs you run, but anything over 700MB should be examined. Any process using more than 20 percent of the CPU for more than a second or two should be considered unusual.
Relaunch the application that caused the Mac to crash.
