new to macs..

hi,

im a bit lame and completley new to apples, I got a macbook yesterday and love it but it is a bit of an unkown entity.. I thought maybe you guys could help a newby out a bit..

my green light is on for my camera when I dont seem to have any programs open, how do i turn the camera off? and also is there and equivelent to paint? I want to do soem animations and downloaded something called gimpshop, but that needed x11 which is apperntly on my disk, but when i tried to install it it said nothing to install..

.. it is amazing though, very happy i convertyed / am converting..

thanks for your help / abuse..

I have never tried this but there are several positive comments concerning software called Seashore.

thanks a lot.. i will try it out...

The green light is on when you activate it by opening either Photobooth or Quicktime. Goto Applications > Utilities > Activity Monitor and see whether any of the above mentioned Apps. are currently running. You can quit then from there.

GIMP is a good alternative for Paint (Even better). For that you need X11User.pkg(Hidden on your installation disk). Read the instructions here

thank you, thats what i was looking for, i couldn't find where to access the applications that might be using it.

I was worried i'd downloaded something dodgy and was being spied on!!!
