Can't get iSight to connect for chats.. Please Help!

Good afternoon.
I have tried everything I can (the links, suggestions, etc.) to get my iSight to work for chats but so far have not had any luck. I’m looking for some help from the experts again.
OK… here’s my configuration:
Mac Mini 1.25 with 512 meg RAM.
Minimate External 160GB hard drive
20” Apple Cinema Display
iSight connected to firewire on back of ACD (has been connected in other firewire ports with same results)
When I turn on the iSight it starts iChat and iChat informs that I have logged on. If I open a preview window I can see myself. It’s when I try to connect to the Apple test sites (or anyone for that matter) I get nothing. I see me in the preview window and it just sits and sits, trying to connect.
I have Delicious Library and the iSight works great with that, scanning in the barcodes of my movies, books, etc.
I’d like to get it to work with chat, but so far, as I said previously, nothing I’ve tried is working.
Any guidance, suggestions, help, would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for the help.

Hello wyzard,
You are posting in iSight rather than iChat AV Discussions. Have you tested your iSight using the How To Ensure Your iSight Is Functional FAQ? Does iChat AV work with a different camera (other than your iSight)?
By "everything", do you include
b ALL
relevant iChat AV Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) and the iSight Tips and FAQ?
If so, I am surprised that your are still using Delicious Library. I do not use it, but D/L is one app that has been reported by several, but not all, users to cause software conflicts with iChat AV. You might try uninstalling D/L, disconnecting your MiniMate and
b ALL
other third party peripherals, and running wired via Ethernet cable directly from your Modem to your Mac until you get iChat AV working properly.
These, and other suggestions, along with a link to Apple's iChat tutorial are in Using iSight with iChat AV. If you have not already tried them, see if the suggestions there help you.
Then try every the trouble shooting suggestion that applies to your system from Help for iChat AV 3 Problems.
If you cannot get even TEXT chat to work, post back with as much as you can of the relevant information requested in the When do I Post a New iChat Topic ? FAQ. Sometimes just the act of gathering this information will lead you to the fix for your problem. If not, we will be happy to try to give more definitive answers based on your complete information.

    The personal hotspot is not an app or an icon; it is a setting. You must first have your carrier provision it, then you turn it on in settings. Most carriers charge extra for tethering.

  • Can we get a new category for posts besides "Helpful" and "Solved"?

    Because there should be a button for "Opposite of Helpful" to label those posts that pretend to be answers, but are really just a waste of pixels or a means for someone to get their message count up.
    Most of the time the users are fantastic and helpful and at least try to help you solve a problem, even if they don't have the answer.
    But then there are The Others.
    And rather than indulge in a slanging match, it would be nice to just click on an "Unhelpful" button to stop some (hypothetical) poster from advising you to (hypothetically) "Get a Dell!" to solve your Mac problems.

    Hello fogharty,
    As Nick posted above that system of applying helpful/unhelpful to posts was tried a few years back and was found to not work as many users abused it and it did not function the way it was intended.
    Once you have achieved level two status through acquiring points in the current system you will be able to report posts to the moderators to have them edited or deleted if they don't follow the Terms of Use of the forums. You also can always post your concerns about a topic/post here in this forum for the moderators to attend to. Just include a link to the offending post or topic.
    One never knows though, the system might changes again but that is up to the powers that be

    LONG RAW and BLOB are very different data types. Oracle has been suggesting for quite a while that folks migrate from LONG RAW to BLOB-- it's much easier to work with BLOB data than LONG RAW data...
    How much data, roughly, do you have in these columns. If it's relatively small, you may be able to use UTL_RAW.LENGTH. If it's longer, though, I believe you have to write a program that reads all the data and calculates the length as you go, which is obviously not particularly efficient...

  • Can't get my table to sort. Please help

    Can't seem to get my table to sort. That was a non-issue with the previous version of Numbers but now if I try to sort ascending by totals it just shuffles my numbers with no visible logic. Please help, this is such a simple task, shouldn't be so hard. I tried all suggestions on the forum and nothing works. This is a snapshot of the table:
    And this is the result after sorting descending by Totals column:
    Any and all help welcome!

    Hi Dannie,
    Sorting in Numbers 3 follows a different pattern from Numbers 2. Formulas do not automatically adjust.
    When Numbers 3 was installled, it was placed in your Applications folder. Numbers 2 was moved to a subfolder called iWork '09 within your applications folder.
    With your document open in Numbers 3, File > Export To > Numbers '09. Then use Numbers '09 (Numbers 2) to work on it.
    Wayne Contello has written a User Tip for working with the old and new versions of iWork.
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-6991
    The trick is to drag icons for both versions to your Dock. Right click or control click on each and Options > Keep in Dock. That puts you in charge of which version you launch.
    Here is a screen shot of both Numbers icons on my Dock.
    Numbers 2.3 (Numbers '09) on the left with a three column graph.
    Numbers 3.2 on the right with a four column graph.
    Both versions will run happily together. Just be sure which version is opening your document.
    Instead of double clicking the document, run whichever version of Numbers/Pages/Keynote suits and use File > Open.
    Regards,
    Ian.

  • I pressed"SYNC" and lost all the songs I downloaded from many cd's, how can I get all of them back? please help. I'm so frustrated!

    i pressed "SYNC" and lost all the songs from many cd's that I loaded to my library, how can I get them all back?

    When you say "account," do you mean your iTunes library, because your iTunes library is what is on your computer?  Your iTunes library does not have an email address.  An account that is related to iTunes is your Apple ID (which is an email address) and you use it as your user name to sign in to the iTunes Store, to make purchases.  Changing your Apple ID will not make songs disappear from your computer's iTunes library.
    If you had an Apple ID and used it to make song purchases from the iTunes Store, and then started using a different Apple ID, you should be able to re-download the songs purchased with the old Apple ID.  In iTunes, sign in to the iTunes Store using your OLD Apple ID (and password).  That may not be your current email address, but Apple uses it as your user name, so it does not matter.
    On the iTunes Store Home screen, click on Purchased under QUICK LINKS.  This takes you do the Purchased screen, where you can re-download previous song purchases (for that Apple ID) at no cost. 
    NOTE:  If those song purchases are from more than a few years ago, you may also need to authorize your computer to play (and sync) songs for your old Apple ID. 
    For songs that were not purchased from the iTunes Store, if they are also gone, you cannot get them back unless you have a backup (or they are still loaded on your old iPod).
    If that's not what you mean by "changed the email address on my account," please post back with more details.

  • I have updated my iphone 5s to iOS8 but it has my old icloud account, how can i change the icloud email address as i can not get passed this page?? please help :-(

    i have updated my iphone 5s to iOS8 but it has my old icloud account, how can i change the icloud email address as i can not get passed this page??
    I do not know the log in details and no longer have that icloud email address !!
    please help :-(

    That's Activation Lock. You will need to remember the Apple ID and password you used to set up the phone.
    If you can't remember them, you can go to iforgot.apple.com to try to recover the information.
    If you are the original owner of the phone & have proof of purchase, you can try calling Apple to see if they can assist also.

  • I got a refurbished macbook air yesterday, and it dosent have the latest os x software. i think it has snow leopard. when i clicked software update it says "software is up to date" so i could only get os x lion for 30$. please, help me.

    I got a refurbished mac yesterday, and it disent have the latest osxlion software, and i think it has snow leopard. When i clicked software update it says my software was up to date. Please help me get it freee, because i was supposed to.

    Apple includes Lion with its refurbished products. What you bought was a used computer. The best course of action is to try to get your money back and buy a factory-certified refurbished computer. Otherwise, you are likely buying someone else's problem.

  • Can i get a phone number  for someone to help me right now

    my phone turned himself off and come up a message its been lost.
    please help

    Where did you get the phone? Sounds to me like you purchased a second hand phone that was lost or stolen. Either that, or someone has compromised your iCloud account. Log into iCloud.com and check the status of your phone in Find my iPhone. It would be a really good idea to change your password if someone hasn't done so already and locked you out of the account. If they have contact Apple Support ( Contact Apple for support and service - Apple Support ) and speak to someone in account security ASAP.

  • Recording audio can't get rid of fuz in background please help

    so i have had my macpro for about 3 months i have been making hiphop songs flat out. my vocals have always been crystal clear im just using the inbuilt mic but yesterday i got a usb plug for my guitar i stuffed around playing guitar on gb for a few hours than i went back to finish one of my rap songs now wen i went to rcord my vocals there is like a fuz in the background it sounds so bad i cant even use it i have tried changing recording levels but it just wont go back to the quality it was before. i am really stuck and need an answer has anyone else had this problem i cant do anything until its sorted. thanks guys

    its still doesnt make sence y its picking up more background noise s as well as the fuz. and y wasnt the fan working earlyer it just seems like it happened after running my guitar through garageband.
    the fan is designed to ramp up and down based on how hot the computer is running. so if you just used the computer for work that ramped up the CPU, it would be running hotter and the fan would kick in. once the computer cools off, it throttles down.

    understood! it's understandably frustrating that you buy a computer only to learn you have to buy MORE STUFF! just to do what you bought the computer for. the thing is, the built in microphone isn't really designed for music. it's like a phone microphone - useful for its tasks, but not something you'd expect to get a good recording through.
    while it's frustrating to encounter the need to buy more stuff, on the other hand, when you realize you have a studio in your computer more sophisticated in some ways than what the Beatles were using, and all you have to buy is a microphone and maybe an interface... overall, it's still not a bad deal!
    if all you need is a better microphone, you could buy a USB mic which isn't much and plugs directly into the USB port of the computer:
    http://www.sweetwater.com/c981--USB_Microphones
    here are some audio interfaces (you'd need to buy a mic separately, but you'd plug the mic and the guitar into the interface to get the sound into the computer, with the result that both would record in higher quality):
    http://www.sweetwater.com/c695--USB_Audio_Interfaces/popular
    (note that if you bought an interface, you would NOT buy a USB mic, since the interface would have the USB (or firewire) connection to the computer. you'd buy a standard mic, plug it into the interface, and plug the interface into the computer).
    here's a new-ish combo USB mic, guitar interface that's pretty good:
    http://www.apogeedigital.com/products/one.php
    Also, please understand, while what I'm saying about the fan kicking in when you run the computer, and the value of using an external microphone and/or interface is true, since I'm not actually where you are, checking out your computer setup, there's no way for me to tell 100% what's going on. if you are happy with what you were doing, and suddenly started getting distortion, there's always the remote possibility that it's something else. what i'm suggesting is only the likely culprit from having encountered this before!
    Finally, to understand how computer-based recording works, while the computer is the heart of your studio, and a contemporary computer has a lot of components stuffed into it out of the gate, for professional results, it's really just the start! A pro computer-based studio can use interfaces, microphones, and other outboard gear that can quickly run into the thousands of dollars, and then add some more zeroes!
    good luck!
