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 ?

  • BBM on OS7 can't see others Personal Message

    First time poster as I've been able to fiddle my through issues in the past, this on has me baffled.
    I can post a Personal Message and others can see it, I can't see others in their profile. I was on a BES in the UK and due to issues this week had to activate on a other one in the USA. Had to move back and forth a few times (painful) and the lasy activation they went missing.

    Sorry, but what "network list" are you referring to? Are you referring to the iTunes Home Sharing feature? If so, perhaps this will help:

  • Since i made the upgrade to mountain lion i¡m unable to make facebook video calls , i can,t see other's people webcam

    since i made the upgrade to mountain lion i¡m unable to make facebook video calls , i can,t see other's people webcam

    I am having this same issue on my Macbook Pro Early 2011 running Mountain Lion. I try and use Facebook video chatting as I usually would, and although the other person can see me, what I see on my end is a still picture from their webcam that is often flickering between what my own webcam is picking up, and it continuously flickers with static lines (picture an old TV getting bad signal).
    Skype is also behaving strangely since I upgraded, although it's flip-flopped (Skype is not letting others see me but I can see them)
    With both Skype and Facebook, audio is having no issues.

  • TS3367 Using FaceTime between 2 iPhone 4s I can hear the other person but we only see ourselves, how do we see the other person

    Using FaceTime between 2 iPhone 4s I can hear the other person but we only see ourselves, how do we see the other person

    Once the connection is made you should automatically see the other person full screen, with a small inset picture of yourself.  Normally you only see yourself full screen after you initiate the call prior to the other person accepting it.  Are you both connected to wi-fi and are you initiating the call by tapping the FaceTime button on the other person's contact?

  • 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!
    En Español:
    Mac osx 10.5.8 - Flash Player 10.3.183.90 - Firefox 3.6.22 – no se pueden ver correctamente algunas webs, vídeos o televisión en directo-
    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

    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 Adobe Air build multiple live video chat and whiteboard application?

    Can Adobe Air build multiple live video chat application? and
    whiteboard like MSN whiteboard?
    Is there any online documentation?

    1) any practical use of P2P multicast will have a delay measured in seconds. it shouldn't go to 30 seconds unless you have a large NetStream.bufferTime.
    2) i strongly recommend against changing the multicast stream parameters. they all interact with each other. decreasing the window duration will decrease the effective reliability of the stream, by reducing the amount of time to receive all of the fragments of the stream as they pass through the P2P group -- especially when people join or leave the group, which can disrupt the low latency "push" trees that are constructed in the group.
    3) you should be able to change the encoding parameters on the fly without a major disruption. are you using H.264 or Sorenson Spark?  it's possible that your camera doesn't like to have its capture size changed and it is freezing temporarily.  i'm not having any trouble changing the capture size with my camera (and using H.264).  i recall there being some issue with changing the frames-per-second on the fly (at least some time ago, and i don't remember what the issue is) -- there was enough of an issue that i disabled it in my little app while actively publishing.

  • How do you use Time Machine to restore a specific users account?  I can't do it from the user screen because I am not allowed.  I can't do it from the admin because I can't see other users in Time machine.

    I can't restore my user account from the users screen because I get an alert that Mac OS needs something.  I can't restore in TimaeMachine from the Admin screen because I can't see other users home folders.  What can I do?

    See Pondini's TM FAQs for starters.

  • Can't see other party when face time's connect!

    Can't see other party when face time connect. Other party can't see me either !

    Do a Reset and try again - [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. When the screen goes blank power On again in the normal way.] It is absolutely/appsolutely safe!

  • Firefox covers the whole screen so I can not see other programs opened at the bottom of screen

    firefox covers the whole screen so I can not see other programs opened at the bottom of screen

    It is possible that the screen is too high and that the status bar and scroll bar fall off at the bottom.
    Open the system menu via Alt+Space and see if you can resize that window.<br />
    If that works then close Firefox to save that setting.

  • Can't see other Macs/PCs on the network...

    Since installing the Safari 6/Apple Remote Desktop Update I can't see other Macs/PCs on the network. If I restart I can see 2 Macs, but after a while they disappear, and I can see/connect to nothing...

    If you are using DHCP check that it is getting the correct addressing. In the event that it is but still not working then test by giving it a fixed IP and see if it then works.

  • When I make a call I can hear the other person but they can't hear me?  Tried everything.

    When I make a call, I can hear the other person but they can't hear me?  Tried everything.  Took it to the local ATT store and all they could tell me is it shouldn't be happening and to take it to an apple store?  Any ideas?

    Try to isolate the issue. Use earphone and if the issue still happens then it might be the phone issue.
    - If earphone works fine then it may be the mic on the iPhone. Try cleaning the debris on the iPhone. Finally a restore of the device and try to set it as a new device. Tha will isolate if it is a software or hardware issue.
    - You can take the phone to Apple store once you have tried all this.
