Video chat connects, but I can't see my buddy.

Every time I video chat with a friend, it connects and I can hear them and they can see me, but I am unable to see them.
Any suggestions?

Make sure that you enabled the appropriate iChat ports on your router, that SPI firewall is disabled on your router, and make sure that NAT & UPNP are also enabled on your router. Also, make sure that your Apple firewall is either off or set to allow iChat communication. Then, if the problem still persists, reboot your computer.

  • Can't see the person I am video chatting with but they can see me?

    I use iChat 3.1.9 and when I video chat I can only see myself and not the person I am chatting with? The other person can see me but I can't see them? In the past there would be two boxes that showed the other person (larger box) and then myself (in a smaller box). Any tips on what to do?
    Thanks

  • Converted videos to mpeg4 but i can't see the video I get a green screan

    I just converted my videos to (MPEG 4)format and then put them in my itunes, but when i play the videos the sound work, but the picture cuts in and out with a green screan so you can't even see the video. And I looked at the video info and the Bit Rate is :80 kbps but the Total Bit Rate is: 0 kbps Does this have any thing to do with the problem?

    I'm giving myself a bump - in the hopes someone can help me.
    Thanks!

  • I can connect, but I can't see networks!

    I can connect to a known network choosing the "other" section of my airport settings, but I cannot "see" any networks. I went to the apple store and they told me that they do not know what is wrong with it. I opened the computer to see if all the insides were okay and the antenna was not plugged in, so I did that. Anyone know of a solution?

    When you set up the network did you set it upp so it was a "closed" network. Making it invisible unless you click "other".

  • My devices are connected but I can not see anything on my iPad

    Hi All,
    It looks like my devices are connected, my iPad name is visible in Chrome extension and on my iPad I can see name of my computer in the top middle part of the Edge Inspect app. However it's just black page. Nothing is happening while I browse through pages on my computer. What could;d be the problem? I am browsing external pages. Could it be proxy issue?
    Thanks,
    RK

    Great, glad you got it sorted out. Let us know if you have follow up questions.

  • After updating my ipad2 to ios6 my favorite chat room is not working. They can see me but I can't see them.

    Before I updated everything worked fine.  This is thru safari on the full version of a website.  Now after I enter my chat room and everyone can see me and what I type but I can't see them.  I was on the phone with apple.  1st call, they had me empty cookies and cache, that didn't work. I did a hard reset? held the off button and the round button.  that didn't work, but I was able to see one persons "hi" post.  2nd call they had me do a reset, thru the general in settings(I was also transferred to a supervisor which makes me think that I am the only one with this problem).  I was able to see 5 people say hi, but still unable to see them after the intial. 
    I use to see the little pinwheel at the top left hand side next to ipad and the signal strength pinwheel all the time but now I don't see it doing that. While in the chat.
    Any ideas.  The supervisor sorta suggested tap-a-talk.  But I didn't want to spend the money if I dont have to and Im not sure it would fix this..
    I did notify the website the chat room is thru so they know also, but no answers yet.

    Hi
    Have you set the Quicktime settings, goto sys prefs/quicktime/streaming/streaming speed set what you get from your ISP go no higher then 1.5mbps(dont use automatic)
    In ichats prefs click on video and change bandwidth limit to NONE.
    Restart iChat.

  • It appears since my Windows PC McAfee AV subscription expired my PC's iTunes doesn't see my two Apple TV2's.  My computer has internet connection thru router and my ATV has internet connection thru same router.  My iPad can see the ATV but it can't see iT

    My Windows PC iTunes doesn't see my two Apple TV2's (in the speaker button in lower right of iTunes), I believe this problem began when my PC's McAfee AV subscription expired.  My computer has internet connection thru router and my ATVs have internet connection thru same router so it's not a networking issue.  My iPad can see the ATVs but it can't see iTunes so the problem appears to be PC/iTunes related.  I turned the PC's firewall off but no joy.  I uninstalled the expired McAfee and still no joy.  Reboot = no joy.  Glass of scotch = no joy.  Need help!!

    Wanted to add that I turned on Home Sharing w/the same account in iTunes and ATVs.  And I've successfully streamed music/photos to my ATVs for over a year.

  • My ichat will let me send video chats requests, but it will not let me accept them. What should i do? Also, sometimes it tells me i cannot add a 2nd or 3rd person to an existing chat because it is connected to AOL's relay servers. What does this mean?

    Unfortunately, most of my advice is in the "hindsight is 20-20" category.
    First off, I would never have purchased the peripheral accessories until the 14 day return period had expired. Second, you learned the hard way what the "14 days" really means.
    Too bad you didn't do any homework, reading this and other forums and tech sites. Even word of mouth from others. That, more than anything could have steered you towards different phone choices from the get-go and I will leave that there with no further comment other than to say most of the issues you described have been discussed in this forum, ad nauseam.
    Once you got into the refurbished phone exchanges, that is where things really went haywire. What someone tells you over the phone is a sketchy proposition, and when it comes down to it, it's your word against theirs.
    I think Verizon tried to make it right, though. Remember, they don't make the phones. Don't throw the baby out with the bathwater.
    You stated yourself you were a satisfied Verizon customer before this. Had the first two phones performed as they should, you would still be a satisfied Verizon customer.
    Doubt any of that will make you any happier, but after you went through the effort of writing such a long post, I thought I'd try.

    Hi,
    Unfortunately the number you've posted is not the Model or Product No. - see the guide on the link below for details on finding this information.

    In the meantime, try a clean installation of the flash plugin/activeX as follows.
    First, download the Flash uninstall utility on the link below and save it to your Downloads folder.
    Flash Player Uninstaller.
    When the download has completed, close all browser windows, open your Download folder and run the uninstaller.  After this has completed, restart the notebook.
    When windows has reloaded,use Recovery Manager to reinstall your original graphics driver(s) - see the guide on the following link on how to use this software to reinstall drivers.
    Recovery Manager - Windows 8.
    After this reinstallation, restart the notebook again, then download and install the latest version of Adobe Flash.  Note: You may want to deselect the option to include McAfee Security Scan Plus before downloading.
    When the installation has completed, restart the notebook once more.

    You can try using the 'official' Facebook app or Friendly For Facebook - not sure whether they work with videos.

    Hi Dan - I'm not sure I know what you mean by 'kick in Expose', can you please explain?
    It's a weird one as it doesn't happen all the time.  Could it have anything to do with running Apple TV and the MacBook 'thinking' there is another display (extended desktop) and playing the video there?

    When I connect my iphone to the laptop (windows) it makes a sound but i can't see it in itunes or "my computer' I have no idea why....

    Setting up your phone "as new iphone" is covered in this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137
    Before you connect to a new PC, make sure that autosync is disabled in Edit/Preferences/Devices, otherwise your phone will be wiped during the following sync.
    If you have data on the phone you want to save, back up manually:
    Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your phone to your new computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your phone without syncing. Transfer your purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
    When you connect your phone for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards. Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the phone for the first time.
    Since changing your iTunes library will erase your phone again, do the same process when you change back to your normal PC.

  • Internet connection works but I can't see the base station

    My internet connection is OK (I'm able to surf and get e-mail) but I can't see my base station on just one of my computers. It shows up in the others, so I don't think it's a problem with the AEBS. I've tried re-installing the Airport Utility software, repairing permissions, etc. but it just keeps saying it can find a base station. Any ideas?

    OK, thanks for the clarification.
    If you haven't already tried this, connecting an ethernet cable from your computer directly to one of the LAN ports on the base station will usually allow AirPort Utility to "see" the device.
    You may need to restart the Extreme and your computer as part of the sequence.
    And sometimes, the device will just "appear" after 10-15 minutes or so after a restart. I have no idea why this is.
