Cannot use the video with ichat

I am hoping someone can help. I am using ichat on my Macbook OS 10.4.11 and trying to connect with my brother who uses Macbook OS 10.5.2. We were able to chat via the webcam while he was here in canada and we were in the same room, however since he left we have not been able to do it again. Are we doing something wrong? It just comes up that we can not be connected. Both of us have high speed connections. Any advice and help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Next time you try to iChat and it errors out, as I recall, when it asks you if you want to send an error log report to Apple, there is a small gray triangle to the left of that error text, click on it and it expands the error log report. Copy it and paste part of it into a follow-up post here. There's a part about "Binary Images Description for iChat:" followed by a a gazillion lines that start with "0x" -- this crap has nothing to do with the actual communications traffic across the internet -- so we don't need to see that part; it just clutters up the thread and people's emails that land up subscribing to this thread -- basically all we need to see is from the beginning of the log down to that point.
Can both of you successfully connect to the appleu3test01, appleu3test02, or appleu3test03 iChat autotest servers?

I can't use the webcam with iChat

Hi all,
The problem is:
I can speak using the video with a person who is in Barcelona but I can't speak with another who's in London. My other partner, whos's in Barcelona, can't speak with him (I'm in Spain too). So the problem it's not from our system, it's from him. What could be the problem?
He's using a broadband Internet conexion and a router. Could be a problem with the ports?
That person who's in London can't speak with other people who's from his country.

Hi Oleguer,
I need this sort of info
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=506836
This list are some of the "normal" devices out there
http://portforward.com/routers.htm
I was wondering if you had a Thomson Alcatel Speedtouch modem/router combined device as theses are fairly popular on the Continent. They are also popular in Australia.
The main problem when one person can not contact anybody is that they have not set up their Mac or their connection devices to alow iChat access to the internet.
The second most common problem is that people use Port Forwrding or other NAT based port openings like DMZ or Port Triggering and there is conflict with the way their Buddies device is doing NAT.
http://www.ralphjohnsuk.dsl.pipex.com/page15.html#CertainBuddy
For this reason we suggest using UPnP where possible.
The latest issue is that some newer modem and wireless routers that do MIMO or are called Pre-N devices are not liked by iChat
MIMO stands for Multi In - Multi Out. The device my have more than one ariel to produce better wireless cover
Pre- N are wireless devices attempting to predict the next stage in Wireless protocols. Currently we have 802.11b and 802.11g
He should start here http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=406147
And here http://www.ralphjohnsuk.dsl.pipex.com/page16.html to see if he has set things up and eliminate possible problems (particularly updating from Panther.

HT204291 Help! I cannot see the Airplay symbol on any of my devices anymore! I have tried following all guides and troubleshooting, but to no avail. Just cannot use the AppleTV with any of my devices.

Help! I cannot see the Airplay symbol on any of my devices anymore! I have tried following all guides and troubleshooting, but to no avail. Just cannot use the AppleTV with any of my devices.

Thanks for the link. It didn't work at first on any of the devices but then I decided to enter a manual DNS instead of an automatic configuration. Then followed the steps again from your link and it worked.
It is not stable though as I need to reset the device for it to see the airplay. But when it is connected it stays connected for 30 minutes approx.
Any other suggestions to keep it stable would be fantastic but at least in the meantime I have a workaround.
Thanks

MAX 2.0 recognizes my PC-TIO-10 but I cannot use the counters with MAX.

MAX 2.0 recognizes my PC-TIO-10 board and can even run the test panel. However, only the digital I/O channels are available for configuration. Why is this? Would be nice to configure the counters too.

You can test your counters of the PCI-TIO-10 in MAX when you click on the Counter IO tab of the Test Panel. You can test Pulse Train Generation, Single Pulse Generation, and Simple Event Counting.
If you want to test Pulse Train Generation, you can set the frequency and the duty cycle. If you want to test Single Pulse Generation, you can choose the pulse delay and width. If you want to test Simple Event Counting, you specify what your Source is and make the physical connection, if necessary.
You didn't mention what version of NI-DAQ driver software you are using. The latest version to support your board is NI-DAQ 6.9 which does use MAX 2.0.
If you are not seeing the options I mentioned above, then perhaps you installed on top of an older version of NI-DAQ, causi
ng conflicts in the software. In that case, you want to uninstall all references to NI-DAQ to clean your machine and then do a fresh install of NI-DAQ 6.9.

It sounds like you may have multiple problems, but none of them are likely to be caused by malware.
First, the internet-related issues may be related to adware or a network compromise. I tend to lean more towards the latter, based on your description of the problem. See:
http://www.adwaremedic.com/kb/baddns.php
http://www.adwaremedic.com/kb/hackedrouter.php
If investigation shows that this is not a network-specific issue, then it's probably adware. See my Adware Removal Guide for help finding and removing it. Note that you mention AdBlock as if it should have prevented this, but it's important to understand that ad blockers do not protect you against adware in any way. Neither would any kind of anti-virus software, which often doesn't detect adware.
As for the other issues, it sounds like you've got some serious corruption. I would be inclined to say it sounds like a failing drive, except it sounds like you just got it replaced. How did you get all your files back after the new drive was installed?

I am unable to do video chat using Gtalk either with ichat as well as Safari Browser any idea.

I am unable to do video chat using Gtalk either with ichat or Browser. i tryed to use Firefox with Viedo chat plugin but this also doesn't help. My Voice and Picture is going but i am unable to receive. I am using Mac OS X10.7 Lion.

IE uses an [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ActiveX ActiveX] control to handle Flash objects. 
Firefox uses a different [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NPAPI NPAPI] plugin. 
 
Your above posted list of installed plugins doesn't show the Flash plugin for Firefox.

TS1741 I have lost the original remote for my Apple TV. I went to install it at my fiancés house, and cannot use the remote app on my ipad or iPhone. Can I still control the Apple TV with the apps?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Your Apple TV may have become paired with another remote. Hold the remote close to and pointed at the Apple TV, hold down the menu and Rewind buttons together for 6 seconds or until you see a broken chain icon on screen.

I just "upgraded" my iPhone with the new software. As a low vision person, your phone was always previously helpful. I now discover that I cannot use the phone easily. The font has been changed to a very narrow typeface and the greyscale has been altered

I just "upgraded" my iPhone with the new software. As a low vision person, your phone was always previously helpful. I now discover that I cannot use the phone easily. The font has been changed to a very narrow typeface and the greyscale has been altered to reduce contrast. The background is now grey as well rather than white. The accessibility options permit only three choices. First, increase type size. With the the low greyscale, thin typeface, increasing type size makes it HARDER to read. There is no option for contrast enhancement. Third, the background switch options suffers from the same deficit as the white background. The third choice is to enhance brightness but without the option to change contrast, this is useless. Am I missing something? Can this be fixed? How? When? Are you planning a similar negative "update"/change to other devices?

I am having the same problem. I have gone through every setting, set the bold font, contrast, larger font....everything I could find in any post to try and help - and between the new color scheme that makes it virtually impossible to use the pictures of my grandchildren as background (the picture colors now become the theme colors - which now match the colors of many of the "flat" icons...) I am finding the phone very difficult to use--espeically things like the calendar which has now become very hard to "see" and use. If I can't revert this thing to iOS6, I may have to get a different phone.

I had this problem but found that I needed to change the security setting in Safari for plug-ins

Hope this helps.

Cannot use the application "Safari" with Leopard

When I try to open Safari in my non-admin account I get an error message reading 'You cannot use the application "Safari" with this version of Mac OS X'.
Bizarrely, if I logon as the admin account it works perfectly.
I have repaired permissions, run software update, repaired permissions again, logged in as SU and fscked and still the same thing. I discovered that Omni Outliner would open the plist but I don't have the knowledge to interpret that.
I think I have used Safari on this laptop since upgrading to Leopard. Most of the time I use Firefox so it hasn't been an issue anyway. The really bizarre thing is it works normally in the admin account.
All suggestions welcome.

Thanks for that. Tried it to no avail
I have found out what has gone wrong but I have no idea how.
I keep all my browsers in a subfolder of the applications folder. I trashed Safari with the intention of downloading a clean version from the Apple website. When I got there I couldn't find a version for OS X (there may be one, it just isn't obvious). So I thought I'd just try Safari one more time from my admin account. Of course the app wasn't in the browser folder. So I went to put it back in the applications folder with the intention of moving it from there to the browsers subfolder.
But no. There was already a newer version in the applications folder. How did it get there? I have no idea. But it opens. So I've moved it to the browsers subfolder and it still works.
So problem solved. I don't understand how it happened. And especially why it worked all along in the admin account.
Thanks to everyone who suggested solutions.

"...cannot use the application "Address Book.app" with 'leopard.'...????

I get the message: "You cannot use the application “Address Book.app” with this version of Mac OS X. "What does this mean, wat do I do? Do I lose my address book.?

you can do the following to transfer your Tiger addressbookdata file to Leopard if none of your other countermeasures are working.
Create a new folder and give it a name such as TigertoLeopard data or whatever;
then drag your Tiger addressbook data file into that folder;
add .abbu to the end of the name you gave that new folder;
remember where you placed the folder and use Leopard Mail import command.
