Can't initiate video in ichat with all options enabled

In my ichat, I can't initiate video chat with anyone. Under view all video and audio statuses are enable and under video, video and audio chat options are enabled. Help?

Ummm,
Odd.
That sounds like the iChat > View Menu > Show Video and Show Audio Status are unticked  (I know you said different in the Original Post).
The next obvious place is the Video Menu  which can turn the Camera and Mic On and Off.
I am not sure if iChat 6 in Lion is the one where the wording changed from "Microphone Enabled" to "Audio Enabled" and similarly for the Video/Camera option.
Again you confirmed you had looked at this in the Original Post.
That leaves the actual Internet Speed your computer can see.
If you have not done recently Restart  the computer.
As IMAgent starts when the computer does it is involved in assessing the speed available.
Next, before starting iChat 6, do a Speed test
This one needs Flash http://www.speedtest.net/
This one uses HTML 5 (No Flash) http://speedof.me/
You need to see speeds in excess of 128kbps for both Upload as well as download.
Also check iChat menu > Preferences > Video Section > Bandwidth Limit Drop Down.  This should not be set to lower than 200kpbs

  • Can the Terminal add a user(with all options) on a single line?

    Howdy All,
    Can the Mac Terminal add a user, with all options desired, on a single line?    If so, can I get an example of this single terminal line to work from?
    Thanks

    Thanks Drew!   You have some great thoughts there. Perhaps I should provide a clearer environment of each high school(4). All classrooms have a lock down Windows environment. (There are no Macs any where in any classrooms.) The mini-tower will be the only Mac on each high school campus. we're in Dell country. The desktops are locked in such a way that only the ghosted/installed software on each hard drive works and no other software can be installed. USB sticks can't run any exe, jar, or other executable file. Even the other drives on the network can't run them. This has been setup to prevent students from bringing games into the environment and running them. Only the single classroom in each high school, where Web Tech is taught, has a ftp tool installed. Students cannot bring and use their own laptops either. So there really isn't any stray ftp activity happening. You cannot "ftp" out of the network! And there is only the one Mac available per campus.  All this makes it certainly easier to maintain for sure. I am the only user in the school district they let run a personal laptop...mine has Ubuntu (tweaked).  My knowledge of Linux has led them to assign this project to me. They are MS based entirely and so is their knowledge base.
    I've got to teach the other 4 teachers how to manage the mini-tower.  Basically it is this:
         Start and stop Apache2,
         Start and stop vsftp,
         Add ftp users(students will only have directory:           /Library/Server/Web/Data/Sites/Default/studentlastname.firstname  )  Students will not log on to the min-   tower directly as any normal user would, but only through ftp. (I.E. no /home directory) ,
         Remove/delete students as needed
         (I'll pre-install cgi-bin scripts on these to keep it simpler on the other teachers and myself.)
    With this in mind, you can see why a basic script or single command line to install these students would be great! I want to keep it simple to avoid mistakes the teachers might make adding users. Once I understand adding a user (in a terminal) better on a Mac, I may write a script to make it happen for them.
    I'd also like to understand removing/deleting a student/user better to insure everything is gone when executed.
    I hope this clear things up. Any help is much appreciated.    THANKS!!!

  • I was trying to get the iOS 8.2 on my iPhone 5 but then it stopped and my phone is now on recovery mode I have pictures I need and they did not all fit on iCloud  how can I use the phone again with ALL my pictures and videos without restoring it?

    I was trying to get the iOS 8.2 on my iPhone 5 but then it stopped and my phone is now on recovery mode I have pictures I need and they did not all fit on iCloud  how can I use the phone again with ALL my pictures and videos without restoring it?

    Contacts are designed to be synced to a supported application on the computer or a cloud service.
    Pictures taken with the device are designed to regularly be copied off the device to a computer as would be done with any digital camera.
    If you have failed to use the device as designed it may be too late to recovery anything.
    Is the device regularly backed up to a computer via iTunes?  If so, the most recent backup (when restored to a replacement iOS device) should contain all contacts and pictures as of when the backup was created.

    That is the way Mac OS X 10.8 (aka Mountain Lion) works by default. Are you actually running that system? (See About This Mac in the Apple menu.) If so, make sure the check box in the shut down alert is checked:

  • How can I download videos from youtube with may MacBook Pro? I cannot download with real player. So how can I do it?

    How can I download videos from youtube with may MacBook Pro? I cannot download with real player. So how can I do it?

    There are two apps that I know of - and I would also swear that they come from the same developer, although they've different names. Both have free trials and both cost $40 (but both do 'other' video conversion as well).
    One is WonderShare - I bought this one and it works very well for downloading YouTube videos as well as converting just about any file format you can think of.
    The other is iSkysoft Video Converter (just noticed that it's now $36).
    I tried them both and finally decided on WonderShare. Give them both a trial run and decide if you like either one enough to buy it. I don't know of any 'free' software that will allow you to download and convert YouTube videos, but perhaps someone else will come along and know of something...
    Good luck,

    Hi 23672!
    I have an article here that can definitely help you with that issue. The article is about what to do when a mail message has no content, and can be found here:

    Note that the article was written for iOS 4, but it will work in later iOS versions. Thanks for coming to the Apple Support Communities!

  • Exhausted with all options for error "No active userstore is set"

    Dear Experts,
    I changed the client number to 200 in UME configuration from default client number 001. Also I had created a system user SAPJSF in the backend system in client 200. I restarted the j2ee engine but its not starting. I received this error WebAS running. Server not found. The log says "No active userstore is set".
    I have researched the forum and tried out *all the notes and set the parameters in visual administrator tool*. Nothing is working.
    I have reinstalled my system atleast 4 times after and finally I have exhausted with all options.
    Please Help.

    Dear Sunny,
    Thanks for the response. I had tried it for both client 000 and client 001. The problem still persists. I am thinking of raising an OSS message. Any other suggestion appreciated.
    Regards,
