Camera in Ichat stopped working?

I'm using a mac mini computer , mac os 10.4.11, ichat 3.1.9. when I first open Ichat I don't get a picture of my self in the preview window,the screen is just white but the camera turns on, I get sound but no video. Ichat has been working up until yesterday (4/13/08) I'm able to see my Ichat buddie but he can't see me and we here each other just fine. I've made no changes to my computer except for updates (quicktime player)

Ralph, I am using the Microsoft Xbox live vision camera. It is plug and play so I did not have to install any add ons. I remember having a little trouble getting it to work initially (trying different USB slots, making sure I had the latest iChat software update, etc.) but I finally got it to work. Don't ask what made it work,I don't remember. Since then it has worked every time without a problem. I could initiate a chat or accept one from someone else. Mysteriously it just would not work the other day. Also, now, when I open iMovie and try to use the camera, it says there is no camera connected. This camera has a light that shows when the camera is on. In iMovie I can not get the light to come on, but in iChat the light comes on when I use preview or I am on a chat.

  • Camera RAW has stopped working - says requires that a qualifying product has been opened at least once. I am a fully up to date CC 2015 subscriber. It was working fine previously.

    Camera RAW has stopped working.  Says CR editing is not enabled.  Requires a qualifying product opened at least once.  PC CC, Bridge and Lightromm all work.

    We're only up to CC 2014 right now. 
    Are you using Bridge to open up the RAW?

  • My camera connection kit stopped working after I upgraded to  ios5

    My camera connection kit stopped working after I upgraded to ios5. If I plug it in to my iphone I get a message saying it is not recognised, but when I plug it into the ipad it does nothing at all. I've tried resetting it, but that makes no difference.
    I have an ipad 1 which I bought because it had lots of storage. I'm going on holiday soon, and I want to be able to upload my holiday photos to my ipad while I'm away.
    Any suggestions?

    Actually this sounds the same problem I have on my iPad2.
    I use a cheap copy of the CCK which I got off eBay.
    It worked great when fitted with a 16gb SD card, but since I upgraded to 5.01 it has stopped working.
    Sorry, no solution at this point but it worked on 4.3.3 but not on 5.01.
    I'll keep on looking, was considering a proper CCK thinking the cheapmversion may be drawing too much current, but it sounds like that might not work either.

  • Why did my camera connection kit stop working after updating to iOS 6.0.1?

    Camera connection kit stopped working on ios6.01 updated phone. Same camera kit works on the iPhone that I did not update. Why does it not work with 6.0.1?

    The same story. No 3G after updating to 6.1.  Told my daughter temporarily not to do an update on her iPad with 6.01. We've exchanged SIMs. I inserted her SIM in my iPad - 3G appeared immediately. And my SIM in her iPad with ios 6.01 also WORKS FINE. We use the same provider - Megafon Moscow. After attempting to revert SIMs to original configuration, 3G disappeared on my iPad again. Don't know what's going on with SIM during the update to 6.1

  • IChat stop working with Bonjour when parental control was enabled

    Hi,
    I'm wondering if someone could help me out with this issue.
    I am running Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard)
    When I enabled Parental Control, iChat stops working on bonjour account, is there a way to fix this or is there a work around.
    Thanks,
    Mindy

    For some reason at present I can not get Bonjour to work properly between My Leopard computer and my Tiger one.
    Having Looked at Parental Controls I do not see that this is an iChat Issue.
    Look at the Way the computer/account is allowed to share files with other computers

  • IChat stopped working last night on iPads and Mac

    Last night, while using iChat (beta) on my MBP to a friend's iPad, it studdenly stopped sending.  She called me to tell me that she suddenly couldn't send from her iPad, so I tried from mine.  She can't use iChat on her iPad, I can't on mine, I can't send to iPads or iPhones through iChat on my MBP, but I can use it and chat fine to a PC with a google account.  It stopped working, then briefly, it worked, then it stopped again, and hasn't worked for any of us since.  iPhone to iPhone works fine.  I've gone all through the forums here and haven't seen any buzz about something being down.   Any clues?

    HI,
    iPhoto  - Photo Stream.
    I had a dial up email account that has been my Apple ID for a long time.
    Last year I used this to create an iCloud ID for my iPhone as it went to iOS 5
    This gives me two "names" to access the account if I use iTunes or the App Store.
    They work as individual Names for iMessages and FaceTime.
    I am the person in our house that inherits the old  phones at update time
    I gained a second iPhone 3GS and I did have the two names split between the two phones.
    With iOS 6 I did get the offer to include the Apple ID (iCloud version) to be added to Messages on the Mac (along with the second iPhone Number) I thought I had declined but it does actually appear in the Messages Accounts for the iMessages account although Unticked.
    This led me to check which iPhone was using which part of the Apple ID's "Names" and I found one phone was not syncing iPhoto's Photo Stream.
    I had thought it was because I had messed up the name somewhere.
    I have checked whilst writing this and have had to time Machine some folders back that went missing in iPhoto (only my Daughter's wedding !!!).
    Seems it is something I did on my Mac ??
    I thought I was on to something that was going to be more helpful.

  • ISight Built-in camera on MacBook stopped working

    Hello,
    It seems that my iSight camera stopped working after the system update two days ago. I checked several solutions (like reset of SMC, creating other test account...) however this does not solve the issue. I also checked the system profiler and there is simply no iSight mentioned there (in the USB group). I don't have green screen when I launch the Photo Booth, it just shows the black frame with a white sign of no camera available. Same with Skype. I think the system (Leopard) just lost or does not recognize the camera anymore. Could someone come with an idea of fixing it please?
    Thanks a lot in advance,

    Welcome to Apple Discussions, Yashper
    If you have not done so recently, repair permissions (not "verify") and try using your iSight again.
    If your problem persists, be sure you have tried all the suggestions relevant to your system from How to Troubleshoot iSight.
    If your iSight is still not working or visible in System Profiler as a USB device when you have selected the items shown in this picture,
    download and reapply the Mac OS X 10.5.1 Update. Repair permissions before you run the updater and again immediately following the restart that finishes the update.
    If none of these things fix your problem, (and if you have not made any other software or hardware changes that might be causing the problem), contact your retailer, Apple, or an Apple-Authorized Service Provider for service.

  • Screen Sharing in iChat stopped working

    To begin with, I have iChat 4.0.3 but I do not see any categories for that version.
    The screen sharing feature in iChat was a really great tool that allowed me assist my family from remote locations to help them trouble shoot issues on their Macs. This feature mysteriously stopped working after the release of the 10.5.3 Mac OS X update. Prior to that, the feature worked perfectly and was able to connect each and everytime after all the proper settings were configured correctly at each end. Now, the feature does not work at all in iChat. I have confirmed and I am able to use the screen sharing features in "Back to my Mac" so I can still screen share with my desktop at home when traveling using my laptop, but I cannot screen share trying to connect using iChat. I have double checked the proper settings for sharing and those are good, I have double checked the settings in Quick Time preferences and those are set to 1.5 Mbps T1 as suggested. I have also gone back and applied the 10.5.3 combo update to both my laptop and the iMac that I am trying to connect to. The router settings have all been verified and the ports are open. The firewalls are all set and both allow connections using iChat, File Sharing, and Remote Log In. Still, after all of this, the screen sharing feature in iChat will not connect and results in a timeout error after about 15 seconds. Is this a known bug in 10.5.3 and can I expect some relief in the next update? Are there any other tricks that may be applied? This is a feature I relied on pretty heavily and now it is gone. Thanks in advance for any assistance.
    I have read several posts regarding the issue of screen sharing in iChat not working properly and I have tried every solution offered in those threads and none of them have worked for me.

    Upon further testing with a different iMac user I was finally able to determine that the problem is router related. I am going to go back again and double check the port settings to make sure they are configured correctly. The router that is giving the problems is a Linksys router and the router that tested fine is an Apple Airport Extreme router. I suspect the LInksys router probably needs to be tweaked further to get it to work properly.

  • My lightening to sd card camera reader has stopped working

    My lightening to SD card reader has stopped working. Any idea why?

    I am using it just as before and with the same camera and SD card. I have reset my iPad as you suggested, but I still get the same message "This cable or accessory is not certified and may not work reliably with this iPad"
    I bought it from Amazon Uk last year. Have I been sold a counterfeit item?
    Thanks for your help.

  • When i change the camera the app stop working ?

    I have a problem with my i pad ! When i change the camera to the front the app stop working ! How i can solve this problem ?

    Try closing the camera app and reset your iPad. See if that fixes the issue for you.
    Closing apps in iOS 7 works like this. Drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it. 
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • IChat stopped working on BT Home Hub

    Hi
    I have been video iChatting with my parents in Spain using my BT Homehub for a few weeks but now it has stopped working? As far as I am aware neither myself or my parents have changed any settings.
    I've read the problems on the forum and I now too get the error 8.
    Is it worth buying a new router?
    Thanks

    I see I missed a big NOT in the previous post.

  • IChat stops working from the start. Help me!!

    After using mac for about 1 month, my iChat starts this problem. Every time  I open iChat and try to change the status, the app stops working and not responding at all. How to solve this problem???

    HI,
    OK, it sounds like the app at least Launches.
    Can you access the Preferences ?
    In iChat > Preferences > Accounts can you enable as many accounts as there are there including the Bonjour one ?
    You should have at least two Buddy list show up.
    From what you say at least one such as an AIM (Or Jabber) login is reading "Disconnected" and not doing anything when you click to change this.
    Does the Bonjour one display fully, even if you have no Bonjour Buddies On line on your LAN  (It is for connecting to other Macs that have iChat/Messages with the Bonjour account active.)
    If there are no such Buddies it will display as an empty Buddy list but should connect and say Available.
    In System Preferences > Security and Privacy > Firewall tab, is the Firewall ON ?
    If it is On go to the Options Button and check the "Allow Signed Software" item is ticked and that iChat and IMAgent is in the Allowed List.  (I am working in Mountain Lion and yours may only have an Advanced Button.  Go there and see if you have).
    Do not have Stealth enabled as iChat sends Pings in Video and Audio Only connections.
    Basically if other apps like Web Browsers can get on the internet we have to look as to why iChat is not doing this.
    Enabling the Bonjour account will tell us if it is a local issue or and Internet one.
    If it looks like it is between the internet and the app then the Firewall is the first port of Call.
