Can see but can't hear

i'm having a problem with the sound when i try to use ichat. i have successfully talked with people over ichat but i usually can't hear and see them at the same time. i can connect with them and hear them over the audio successfully. i also can't connect with people, they have to invite me to chat. it's frustrating because i have successfully communicated over ichat, but i can't initiate it or get it to work on my own.

Hi,
Umm Comcast.
They claim that they offer a VoIP telephone service that DOES NOT use SIP and therefore should not interfere with iChat.
The Netgear may need some tweakes.
Here is a page that allows you to find out the default Access info (As well as Port Forwarding Instructions).
Check the UPnP menu item to see that it is active (it should be by default)
In the WAN page check the item that Disables DOS or SPI (you will have one or the other). They block what they think are attacks based on how much data is coming to you.
IF the modem is in Bridge Mode and passing the public IP to the Linksys then you may also have to disable WAN/Anonymous Ping Blocking.

  • Can see, but can't print to network printer in Panther Server

    I'm running Panther Server 10.3.9 in a vLAN with 16 OS 9 clients. They all
    print to 2 Xerox Phaser 6200 and 6250 network printers. I am unable to print
    to either one from a G4 running Server 10.3.9. I have limited desk space so a USB-attached printer, while
    more convenient, is impractical. When I run Classic from the Server, I can print to the Phasers.
    *> that means that OS X is seeing the printers. When you print in Classic, what*
    *> happens is that the Classic drivers (LaserWriter 8) hands off the print jobs*
    *> to the appropriate OS X drivers, which do the actual printing.*
    Although I'm using OS X Server, I don't have Print Services turned on. I never could get the OS 9 clients to print the way I wanted and I didn't want to have a single point of failure for 16 clients if the Fileserver (Panther Server) went down. So they print to the Phaser themselves using, as you said, Laserwriter 8.
    I can connect to administer them both with a browser.
    *> this definitely means that you can see the printers.*
    Yes. Everytime. I can reset them and anything else I want to do administering them with a browser (Safari).
    I have all the drivers I should need (new re-installs), but print jobs stop every time.
    *> Does this mean that the drivers are installed and are visible in Print & Fax?*
    Yes. I have both a 6200 and a 6250. Both drivers are visible.
    Is there a log file or some way I can see why these jobs fail?]
    *> There are logs, some of which are visible in CUPS using the browser.*
    >
    *> What error messages are you getting?*
    What is CUPS? I've heard of it, but don't know what it is or does. I think when I had ServerAdmin running a lot, there were CUPS files that were taking up hard drive space and I had to periodically delete them in Terminal.
    I'm not getting ANY error messages. It's like the print job just evaporates before it gets to the printer. There are never print jobs showing in the list under the Print Queue.
    FWIW, I can see the Phaser 6250 (but not the 6200) under Rendezvous printers.
    I've tried AppleTalk, IP printing, and Rendezvous. I can always see the printer, but can never print.
    AAAARRRRGGGGGHHHHH!
    Do you have any pearls of wisdom?
    Thanks

    I was having the same problem, and basically it comes down to Epson not having driver support for networking. The solution, install better drivers!
    Go to: http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/MacOSX.php and download the latest version of the drivers. Once you've installed them go to Print & Fax in System Preferences, delete the last print setup (the little minus sign), add the new one but importantly from the driver menu select the Gutenprint driver. That should solve the problem, certainly worked for me!

  • Users can see, but can't open image files

    We store all of our digital photos (jpg's) on an Xserve RAID attached to an Xserve.
    Twice in the last 3 weeks I have started getting calls from staff members to tell me that they can see the files but can't open them.
    The jpg files aren't recognized.
    If I click on a file from my iMac I get the following message:
    "Couldn't open the file. It may be corrupt or a file format that preview doesn't recognize."
    If I reboot the server. The problem goes away. The files aren't corrupt and people can access them again. I saw this three weeks and then again today, so it's not like it happens every day.
    Even though I connect from a Mac, most of my users are Windows users connecting via Samba.
    We are using RAID Admin: 1.5 and Firmware ver.: 1.5-1.5.xfb
    Mac OSX Server is 10.4.1
    Any ideas why this happens?

    Does the same thing happen with files that are on the local drive? That would be the first thing I'd check.
    Any reason you're running 10.4.1 server and not 10.4.3? There were tons of fixes in 10.4.2 and 10.4.3 around the file system... I'd recommend the update strongly.

  • Can see, but can't access Time Capsule

    I just installed the Time Capsule. Wi-Fi works. I can't figure out how to access the time capsule hard drive from the desktop that is wired to Time Capsule. I can see it in the work group, but it will not access it. I disabled the firewall and it didn't help. I have laptops connected throught Wi-Fi, but I can't figure out how to make them "see" the Time Capsule either.
    THANKS!!

    Do you have a computer plugged in by ethernet? If not do so.. press and hold the reset for 10sec if you still have no access.
    You may even need to remove it completely from the network.. plug directly into a computer with no other connection.
    Once you have access take the firmware back to 7.5.2 as the later versions are specifically for Lion and do nothing but add bugs for every OS.
    Then the following need fixing.
    1. All names are wrong for SMB.. change to short no spaces no special characters.
    2. Fix and lock the wireless. Use channels 1, 6, 11 in turn.
    3. Set a separate name for 5ghz.
    4. Use wpa2 private security.. set passkey as above.. no spaces pure alphanumeric 8-12 characters.

  • Can See But Can't Hear YouTube Movies

    I am trying to watch YouTube movies, and for some reason I can't hear them. I can hear my iTunes when it's turned on though. All other normal sound functions seem to be working fine, except movies loaded on the internet. Any help is appreciated.

    Go to your Utilities directory, go into "Audi Midi Setup"
    Make sure your Properties for: is "built in output" (in the middle)
    then check to make sure the Audio output format is 44.1khz and not 19.2khz.
    If that doesn't wotk open and close Garageband.

  • USB Drive Connected to Airport Extreme:  I can see, but can't access

    Connected one printer and two USB hard drives through USB hub to Extreme. Printer works ok. Both Drives are visible in Finder, but won't show files. Tried to copy files through Finder to each USB drive and got an "Error Code 8058". Tested each drive directly to Mac and worked fine, so it's not a drive compatibility problem. Thoughts on what may be wrong?

    Tried what you suggested last night - no change. What is odd, though, is that I can create a new folder on the external USB HDD (through the Hub) and copy a file into it. While I can then close Finder, re-open and see the Folder and file I copied, I still can't see all the data that is currently stored on the drive...Is this a delete and re-copy scenario?
    Thanks!

  • I can see,but I can't hear..Help..

    I can see, but I can't hear anything. For example, I can
    watch all the video in Youtube, but there's no sound. My speaker
    are working perfectly, I can listen to music from my folder. I had
    also downloaded the newest version of Adobe Flash Player after
    uninstalling the older version. I do not have this problem last
    time, but now there is. Thanks for any help.

    peace,
    this is really an ennoying problem. in the end i solved
    that...(thanks my god!..).in the begining of my search to fix my
    problem i visited this page and i saw there are others who have the
    same problem... in the end i found out that the problem was
    discussed in this forum and useful sugesstions were posted..i
    returned to this page to anounce it to u.. u can visit this adress
    to see the pcedent discussion about "Going Crazy: Why No Sound w.

    i have tried the following suggestion and fixed my problem..
    i wish it works for you too..
    "All you need to do is to open registry editor by going to
    Start menu, Run, typing regedit and then Enter. After that, in the
    registry editor, walk yourself through the tree in the left pane,
    till you reach
    My Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows
    NT\CurrentVersion\Drivers32
    And then on the right pane, right click and click on New,
    select String value, enter "wavemapper" (without quots of course),
    ENTER, type "msacm32.drv", ENTER.
    Close the editor. No need to restart. Video on Google and
    YouTube et al would work fine now."

    Have you downloaded the approriate Snow Leopard drivers for that printer?

  • Sharing iTunes Library - Can see but cannot play movies

    I have a Mac with iTunes and a connected external hard drive. In my Movies library, I point to movie files on my external hard drive. I have shared my entire iTunes library including my music and movie selections under iTunes Sharing settings.
    From iTunes on my windows computer, I can see my shared library and even the list of music and movie files. I can then play the music files from my iTunes shared library, but it won't play any of the movie files. When I double click on a movie nothing happens. When I highlight a movie file in iTunes and click the play button at the top, it seems to freeze for a couple seconds, then returns to normal, not playing the movie file.
    Am I missing a file sharing setting on the Windows computer or Mac laptop?
    Thanks for any suggestions.

    Just another datapoint to add...I tried a few different things yesterday and I can get the following files to play:
    1. Free Downloaded video from iTunes (Horton hears a Who - Anatomy of a Scene)
    2. Digital Movie (Bolt) that requires some authorization from the iTunes store.
    The movies that won't stream from one XP box to the other XP box are all encoded using Handbrake (they work fine going to the AppleTV though.) I'm wondering if it has something to do with DRM or specific tags/metadata that needs to be included in the encode.
    Also, this is something new for me (i.e. I haven't tried sharing libraries or streaming from one iTunes instance to another prior to upgrading iTunes to 8.1) My daughter got a laptop and we wanted to keep all of our media in one shared location in the house. Hopefully this will work at some point.
    Thanks,
    Mike

  • ISight, other person CAN listen but CAN'T see me on Video-Conference online

    My iSight is recognized by Skype, iChat, etc..
    But not by Wengomeeting Video-Conference (free chatting online with NO applications and NO downloads).
    The other person can hear me but can NOT see me.
    The other person is using a PC.
    Can anyone help??

    As discussed in Email, wengomeeting and MeBeam this is a Web based Site that uses Flash.
    This means somewhere there is a setting (or in the case of Mebeam an Automatic pop up) of the Control for allowing your camera to be used by the Web browser.
    Part of this is setting it to the spec for your camera

  • Single account on imac can see but cannot connect over network

    This one is driving me crazy:
    As of this morning I cannot connect to other computers in our network. Using other accounts on the same imac is no problem, but mine simply refuses.
    I can see the rest of the network, connect to the internet, print, etc., but if I try to actually connect to another machine I get the error that it cannot find the original item (the error is in Dutch so I cannot give the litteral version)
    Network, firewall and sharing settings seem to be the same as the other, working, accounts as far as I can tell.

    OK, we found the problem. my permissions were screwed up...

  • Can see but not connect to one shared library

    On my list of shared libraries on my network in iTunes I can see all of the ones that are capable of sharing. However with one of them when I select it, it loads for a few seconds but then goes straight back to the main library with no error message. All of the other libraries work fine.
    Please help.

    I'm having this exact same problem. Can initially see a shared playlist/library, and it will even initiate playing, but a few seconds later the connection disappears. I've turned off my firewall and opened up TCP/UDP ports, but still have this problem.
    I'm running iTunes 7.1.1.5 and Windows XP SP2.
