Remove attribute "checked" of checkbox

I need remove the attribute "checked" of one checkbox when errors occur.

The .removeAttr function not work. Any idea? :/

HTML

<div data-role="controlgroup" data-type="horizontal" data-mini="true" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; width: 100%; text-align: center;">
    <input type="checkbox" id="captureImage" name="add_image" class="custom" />
    <label for="captureImage" data-icon="checkbox">Image</label>
    <input type="checkbox" id="captureAudio" name="add_audio" class="custom" />
    <label for="captureAudio" data-icon="checkbox">Audio</label>
    <input type="checkbox" id="captureVideo" name="add_video" class="custom" />
    <label for="captureVideo" data-icon="checkbox">Video</label>
</div>

Javascript

$("#captureImage").live("change", function() {
    // $("#captureImage").prop('checked', false); // Here Work

    if($("#captureImage:checked").val() !== undefined) {
            navigator.device.capture.captureImage(function(mediaFiles) {
            console.log("works");
        }, function(exception) {
            $("#captureImage").prop('checked', false); // Not Works Here
            _callback.error(exception);
        }, {limit: 1});
    }
});

/*
$("#captureAudio").live("change", function() {
    if($("#captureAudio:checked").val() !== undefined) {
            navigator.device.capture.captureAudio(function(mediaFiles) {
            console.log("audio");
        }, function() {
            $("#captureAudio").removeAttr('checked');
            _callback.error;
        }, {limit: 1});
    }
});

$("#captureVideo").live("change", function() {
    if($("#captureVideo:checked").val() !== undefined) {
            navigator.device.capture.captureVideo(function(mediaFiles) {
            console.log("video");
        }, function(exception) {
            $("#captureVideo").prop('checked', false);
            _callback.error(exception);
        }, {limit: 1});
    }
});
*/

Solution 1:

Try...

$("#captureAudio").prop('checked', false); 

Solution 2:

Both of these should work:

$("#captureImage").prop('checked', false);

AND/OR

$("#captureImage").removeAttr('checked');

... you can try both together.
