Can see myself, cannot see others and they can't see me, but text chat work
I have not seen a generic FAQ on this. Twice i have connected with friends in the US.
We all have Macs. We can chat with no problem.
I can see myself. I cannot see them. They cannot see me.
Would there be a reason for this or solution?
I have settings on maximum bandwidth.
if MAC Chat does not work with video, would some other free service work?
thanks
iChat to iChat works in Video, Audio only and in iChat 4 Screen Sharing as well.
Ideally System Preferences > Quicktime > Streaming tab needs to be set at 1.5Mbps
This is because in Tiger and iChat 3 the Automatic setting is returned to iChat 3 as a 0 (In Leopard and iChat 4 it is set to limit you to 384k).
Restart iChat if you have to Change it
Depending on certain suppliers iChat's Own Bandwidth Limit in ichat > Preferences > Video Section > Bandwidth Limit drop down can be better if limited to 500kbps
This can be changed on the fly during a chat and does not need a restart of the application.
In an iChat to iChat Video chat these are the most likely causes.
iChat to AIM on a PC is a different kettle of fish.
AIM Says this about AIM 6.5
http://www.aim.com/helpfaq/starting_out/getstarted.adp#608
On the 10th June they issued AIM 6.8 but have yet to add any support pages.
Some people say they can get it to work though.
The PC end need s to do this...

They may also need to find the Preferences for AIM on their computer and set the camera in the Enhanced IM tab.
MeBeam is a web based application that uses Flash to control your Camera and Mic (it puts up a pop up for you to Agree to the control and it only lasts as long as you are connected - you may have to change the camera type setting).
There are other options as far as applications go

Hello there, HelpMePlease117.
There is a good Knowledge Base article that helps resolve authorization issues you might want to look over:
iTunes repeatedly prompts to authorize computer to play iTunes Store purchases

Any one of the steps listed there should help you get to the bottom of your issue and resolve it for you.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.

how the heck do i get more ring tones on my phone i purchase them and they go into my music but not ring tones any one no how i can put more on my ringtones plz n ty
Make sure your own music files are saved in the proper folder (Digital sounds) whether in your memory card or the phone memory, the location should still be:
Sound Clips > Digital Sounds.
If your songs/mp3s are saved anywhere else, it will not show up as a selectable ringing tone.
You can move your songs through File Manager on your phone if they are in the wrong location (Options > Move to folder).
Hope that clarifies it for you.

Why won't my iMessage work with only one contact in my phone all my other iMessages send and they just got an iphone but all their iMessages are sending also. I've tried restarting my phone, deleting messages, contact, restarting network
Hello Jesslb23,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
For more information on this, take a look at:
iOS: Troubleshooting Messages
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2755
To resolve issues with sending and receiving iMessages, follow these steps first
Check iMessage system status for current service issues.
Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive and make sure that you have registered iMessage with your phone number or Apple ID and that you have selected iMessage for use. Learn more about troubleshooting iMessage registration if the phone number or Apple ID isn't available for use.
Open Safari and navigate to www.apple.com to verify data connectivity. Learn more about troubleshootingcellular data or a Wi-Fi connection if a data connection isn't available.
iMessage over cellular data might not be available while on a call. Only 3G and faster GSM networks support simultaneous data and voice calls. Learn more about which network your phone supports. Go to Settings > Wi-Fi and turn Wi-Fi on to use iMessage while on a call if your network doesn't support simultaneous data and voice calls.
Restart your device.
Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings on your iPhone.
If you are still unable to send or receive an iMessage, follow these steps
Make sure that the contact trying to message you isn't blocked in Settings > Messages > Blocked.
Verify that the contact you are attempting to send a message to is registered with iMessage.
If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, back up or forward important messages and delete your current messaging threads with the contact. Create a new message to the contact and try again.
If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, delete and re-create the contact in the Contacts application. Create a new message to the newly created contact and try again.
Back up and restore your device as new.
Best of luck,

I have been opening up my photos from My Pictures folder and Elements 12 opens up but the photo doesn't appear in the image screen. Over the weekend it was working fine. I tried the other photo software I have and they open up in those but not in the elements 12.
Which operating system are you running on?
How are you trying to open the photos?
- from windows explorer? - double licking or right clicking and selecting Open with?
- by loading the editor and go to File -> Open?
Looking back at your other threads you seem to have had this problem before - what keeps changing?

My husband and I both have Iphone 4's. I do not receive any text messages that he sends me. He gets mine though. He sends texts to other iphone users and they get them. I get text messages from other phones including iphones. Please help.
Both of yall need to go to settings, meassages, send and recieve, scroll down to start new conversation from, and make sure you have different email addresses with a check mark beside it. Right now sounds like they are the same email addresses.

How do I delete apps in os5? I press and hold the icon and they all begin to shake but the little x does not appear allowing me to delete.
You can't delete any of the Apple built-in apps e.g. Music, App Store, Game Centre etc. If you don't get the 'x' on any of the apps that you've downloaded then check that Settings > General > Restrictions > Deleting Apps isn't set 'off'

I recently bought a few new songs from iTunes and they transfer to my iPhone, but not into the Playlists I dragged them into
Do the problem songs play in iTunes on the computer?
Is Settings>iTunes and App Store signed into the account that purchased them?
Can yo redownlod them directly to the iPod by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Do they show up in the Purchased list?
Do you have any Restrictions (Settings>General>Restrictions) set that would prevent syncing/loading those songs? -
I was able to purchase and download ringtones on my ipad 2 and they synced to my pc but will not sync to my iphone 4
Use the Transfer Purchases command in the File menu of iTunes.

I am unable to view My Wish List on the ITunes Store After installing the updated ITunes. It shows an Error -1202 and says try again later. But it never works.
Hi Jen. My daughter just compleated her nursing program and is now working as a full time nurse. Focus and study hard and soon you will be there too. Now to the problem at hand. I have the same problem. I gave up on it and satisfied myself with my iPod without the upgrade. Reason being I've read so many posts of people having problems after the upgrade. But I'm sure other factors are involved. Nevertheless here is the fix most say works to solve the problem: What ever virus protection you have installed on your computer, disable it. Then try to install the update. After that enable the protection. I had Kaspersky, and it does it's job well. The thinking is, the virus protection is blocking the upgrade. Hope this works. Charlie

I bought an unlocked iPhone 5s from USA and travel back to my counry but won't work in my country
Well, there is nothing anyone here can do for you. Did you actually purchase it at an Apple Store, or at another retailer like BestBuy, HH Gregg, a mall kiosk, T-Mobile, AT&T, etc?
The ONLY source for unlocked iPhones in the US is Apple. If you purchased it anywhere other than at an Apple Store, you purchased a locked phone.
You can call AppleCare and give them the serial number of the phone to confirm the status of the lock.
