Can't see friend on iChat video?

My friend and I both have new macs, and she is in the northern woods of Wisconsin, but she has internet, and we can connect with video chat, but I can't see her. She can see me though. All I see is myself? Any reason why that would be?

Hi,
What Internet Speeds does she have ?
If she is on 10.5.x or lower then she should go to System Preferences > Quicktime > Streaming and set the speed here to 1.5Mbps (even if her Upload is not as fast as that.)
You should do the same.
You (both) will need to restart iChat to "See" the new speed.
After that try adjusting the Bandwidth Setting in iChat > Preferences > Video Section to 500kbps to "even out" any Speed differences you have.

  • How come i can hear my friend on ichat but she cant hear me?

    how come i can hear my friend on ichat but she cant hear me?

    Hi,
    Several possibles.
    1) The Mic (or Audio) item in the Video Menu is Off (unticked)
    2) The Selection in  App (iChat or Messages) menu > Preferences > Video section > Microphone Drop down  is not pointing to a Mic that is active.
    3) The Mic selection in System Preferences > Sound > Input tab is not the same device in the app and/or the volume is not set high enough.
    In System Preferences > Sound > Input tab the blue response bar must get to at least halfway (preferably 3/4s) but not bang in to the right hand end.
    The Mic should be the one select in the app itself.
    IF you are using a headset then change both the System Preferences > Sound > Input to anything else but the headset mic.
    Then do the same if the app.
    Then go back to the System Preferences and "Set" that "First" and then do the App "Second"
    Repeat the same process for the output options in both places.

  • Mac 10.5.8-Flash Player 10.3.183.90-Firefox 3.6.22-can not see properly some websites, videos or TV

    Mac osx 10.5.8 - Flash Player 10.3.183.90 - Firefox 3.6.22 - can not see properly some websites, videos or live TV-
    I get a message that says do you want to install Flash Player 11.8? I click "yes" and not installed, I think it's because that version is not compatible with my operating system Mac OSX 10.5.8.
    I'm going to flash website and only let me unburden the version that I have Flash Player 10.3.183.90, downloaded previous versions of flash but not running on my computer.
    Can you help me please, what I can do? greetings and thanks!

    Me aparece un mensaje que dice ¿desea instalar Flash Player 11.8? hago clic en “si” y no se instala, creo que es por que esa versión no es compatible con mi sistema operativo Mac osx 10.5.8.
    Me voy a la web de flash y sólo me deja descargarme la versión que tengo Flash Player 10.3.183.90, descargo versiones anteriores de flash pero no se ejecutan en mi equipo.
    Me podrían ayudar por favor, ¿qué puedo hacer? un saludo y gracias!

    Probably not! Be patient!

  • Can't see or play any videos on websites!

    Hello,
    All of a sudden, I've lost the ability to see or play any videos. On youtube, I can't see or watch any videos. On websites like Scifi.com, I can't see any videos, visit the forum or see of their flash-enabled content. I know that I have Adobe flash installed, but I don't know what else to check for. Please offer any suggestions. Thanks.

    Ditto here.
    No video content is viewable on my iMac G5. This started happening after startup.
    But I can view video content just fine on our other iMac G5, and on a G4 powerbook, both under Safari 3 & MacOS 10.5.6.
    I have reset Safari, run Cocktail maintenance tasks, repaired permissions, etc. all with no change.

  • How can I see thumbnail pictures for Videos like I can see for Jpegs

    How can I see thumbnail pictures for videos like I can see for Jpegs in Elements organizer.
    Thanks

    You should get the mobile version of YouTube which sends Firefox a notice to open it in the YouTube App. That will have a much better playback experience than running Flash in the browser.

  • Can't see friends respond. help please

    Lately I have been having trouble with the connection of my iChat.
    I type for a little while and then my friends never type back and I think that it is just because they are gone, but I sign off and sign back on and there are all these offline ims waiting for me.
    they can see me typing and they are responding, yet I can't see what they say until I reload iChat.
    any help would be appreciated!

    What you've outlined in this part of the post is all that icloud stores for you outside of the backup. If you want to restore from the icloud backup you will then have for all practical purposes a carbon restoration back to your device if you restore from the icloud backup.

    I want to delete photos that are on my iphone, by doing so from the computer, not my phone.
    Syncing your device with itunes will then enable you to remove whatever photos you wish to remove from your device deleting them with the computer and not the iphone.

  • I can't find friends in iChat

    hi, can anybody help me? I need to chat with a friend using ichat but he appears offline although he is conected

    Hi,
    Get them to check the iChat Menu > Accounts > Security for any AIM login and make sure they have not Blocked you or have you in the correct allow place
    You should also check your settings as Blocking them (Or Not allowing them) will have them show as Off line as well.

  • Can't see person called in video call

    I have had this problem on my original Samsung Tab and now on my new Tab Pro. When I video call someone, I can not see them....the picture on the screen is me. The person I'm calling sees me but not themselves.
    If the other person calls me, everything works fine. The caller is in the main frame with my pic in a small box at the bottom right of the screen.
    I have uninstalled SKYPE and reinstalled it with the same results.
    Anyone else having this problem? Anyone have any suggestions?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    when you launch a video call to someone running Skype for Android, THEIR video does not start by default when they answer your call, particularly if they have turned on auto-answer
    it is possible to turn on your own video as you answer, and that sounds like what you do
    your own video can be started and stopped anytime without breaking the Skype connection by tapping on the camera icon
    if this does not explain your symptoms, then we need more details about a specific example

    Neil

  • My screen was replaced and I can't see my photos and videos any more

    I had my screen replaced and I can't  see any of my photos or videos that were on my iPhone I used some trial software and found the photos but I don't want to have to pay to retrieve them is there other way ? Please help oh and there not backed up I wasn't expecting to have screen just crash like that . Thanks

    It sounds like maybe you've unintentionally activated the Zoom feature.
    Try going to System Preferences > Universal Access > Seeing, and make sure that Zoom is turned off.
    Does that help?

  • Can't see other person in video chat

    Hi Folks
    This one is perplexing: I have been video chatting with my mother in the UK for 1 yr without a hitch. Since I upgraded to 10.4.7 the video chats are only one way. She can see me, but I cannot see her. She was on 10.4.6 and it didn't work so she upgraded to 10.4.7 and it still doesn't work. Nothing has changed in the set-up, other than the fact it no longer works. I am using DHCP and NAT through an Airport Extreme BS and she is connected directly to the DSL modem.
    We have tried just about everything.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks

    Hi Rootdr,
    There were some changes to the NAT part of iChat in the 10.4.7 update that were supposed improve working behind a NAT based firewall.
    Unfortuantely more people are reporting problems compared to those coming back to say it sorted their's.
    If you are using a Base Station and it is Doing DHCP and Nat what is your modem doing ?

  • Help!  I can't see my iweb QT videos in IE7

    Here is a page from my iweb website:
    http://web.mac.com/hooktrunk/iWeb/e/7.html
    I have posted QT7 videos, but am unable to view them in IE7 with QT7. Here is the message I get: QuickTime is missing software needed to perform this operation. Unfortunately it is not available on the QuickTime server.
    I made them in iMovie HD and exported them to QT7pro. I adjusted presets in the options menu, but not much. I have posted this question in quicktime, but have gotten no replies.
    What am I doing wrong? I'm pulling my hair out over this.

    Is .mac not a streaming server? Anyway, I was able to get a smaller, clearer movie prepared as downloadable, so I'd prefer that anyway. I was just trying different combos for my dad to try. He claims he has the latest QuickTime for the PC. He clicked on the link I gave him and said he downloaded it.
    I did try mpeg-4 and it was comperable, but he still couldn't see it. I am going to visit him in March, so I might be able to see what is up with his quicktime. I would have thought it was just him if my friend here hadn't experienced the same problem(temporarily).
    Here is what I did. I brought in a large Jpeg into imovie HD. I started the project as a DV project because when I made the project as an mpeg-4 to begin with, the colors were really bad and I lost a lot of clarity. I made an mpeg-4 later from that project file in QTpro. Today I noticed I could export from imovie using expert settings which are exactly as those in QT.
    Ok. Next I opened the DV file in QT and chose to export it as a QTmovie with
    the Use being Broadband Medium. Then I clicked Options and set a custom size of 400 x 300 to fit my site and turned on deinterlacing to get rid of the shimmering that occurs without. I then chose h.264 with 25 per fps setting instead of the standard 15(anything under 25 was jumpy. I set key frames at 24. Data rate to automatic. Compression quality to just below medium. Finally encoding to faster(single-pass). Then clicked OK and then I tried both fast start and hinted stream(this is what I am just trying now, but it sounds like i shouldn't).
    I am wondering if the problem has to do with either my fps choice or with the root material I imported into imovie in the first place. Perhaps my jpeg was corrupted somehow. I don't know.
    Did you have to download a different version of QT to the PC side of your computer or are you using the same version? If it is the same version, I wonder if this is the reason you can see it with no problems.
    I have a friend who wants to make flash movies for my site. I hope iweb2 will allow this. I just want to use these movies until I can post something interactive in flash. I know I can post flash movies though the back door method via text edit, but that defeats the purpose of my using iweb(its ease).
    If you want to play with my file I can send you a large jpeg if you want. Kind of a funny thought, but if you want you can try. It would be a fun challenge if it weren't so serious for me. I want to seny my work to Art Reps(like an agent, but for artists) to try to get work. I'm tired of teaching English over here.
    I really appreciate you trying to help. Well, I've had enough for today. Time to call it a night.

  • Ichat 2.1 can't see or hear ichat 3.  Help!

    I have looked at every option I can think of. I have a G4 using iChat 2.1. I added the line to open the ports up 5060, 5190, 5297, 5298, 5353, 5678, 16384-16403. I have a wireless router and cable modem. My sister has the new apple laptop mac bookpro with iChat AV 3.1.4.
    We keep getting this message: There was a network timeout starting the conference.
    Tried to send UDP SIP "invite" to the following IP addresses and ports:
    xxx.xxx.x.xxx:5060, xxx.xxx.x.xxx:5060
    My mac worked in the store and I was able to use my camera. and my sister was told that it was because of her wireless connection.
    Powerbook G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9) IChat 2.1

    OK here goes. I have a powerbook G4 and using ichat 2.1. I added the ports to my apple firewall. I also added it to my Linksys wireless G router model #WRT54G.
    My sister has a Linksys wireless router ( not sure of what the model is) she has a new macbook running mac os 10.4.6 and ichat 3.
    I was told to bring my mac and my sisters mac to the same apple store to make sure that it can communicate. We were both able to open a chat and to open a voice chat. They said to check the routers that we have.
    I called Linksys and they ran me through how to open the ports up. My sister did the same. We tried and it still came up with errors when we tried to open a audio or video chat.
    this is the message that I get
    2006-05-18 10:06:34 -0400: There was a network timeout starting the conference.
    Tried to send UDP SIP "invite" to the following IP addresses and ports:
    xx.xxx.x.xxx:5060, xxx.xxx.x.xxx:5060
    When my sister tries to send me a chat she gets that she didn't respond to the chat.
    I hope that can help you solve this problem. Cause no one else can!
