Try this

$("#myCheckboxes :checkbox:not(:checked)").attr('disabled', true)

instead of

$("#myCheckboxes input[type='checkbox']")
    .attr('disabled',true)
    .find(':checked')
    .attr('disabled',false)

You should note that this isn't the way to enable/disable DOM elements.
Consider:

<input type="checkbox" disabled='true' />
<input type="checkbox" disabled='false' />

Contrary to how it seems, because they have the disabled attribute, both controls are disabled!
This is for back-compatibly, when HTML had <input type="checkbox" disabled /> - the value is ignored.

The common why to disable an element is by

<input type="checkbox" disabled='disabled' />

Therfore, the proper way of doing this with jQuery is:

$("input:checkbox").attr('disabled', 'disabled'); //disable
$("input:checkbox").removeAttr('disabled'); //enable

I already adjusted my answer to your original question (which you oddly posted as another question on SO). I had a small typo in it which has since been fixed following your comment: set total number of checkbox in array
