Cant accept incoming video calls

each time someone video calls me when I'm on my desk top, it won't let me accept. it shows up for a second then says i missed a call. any suggestions?

Hi,
I see that I missed the important bit about it being "accept triggered Remotely" rather than Auto Accept.
I know just enough AppleScript to create Away Messages on Accept and set Available on Chat end.
Accept
using terms from application "iChat"
on av chat started
set status to away
set status message to "In Conference . . ."
end av chat started
end using terms from
Chat Ended
using terms from application "iChat"
on av chat ended
set status to available
set status message to "I was Busy but Now I am Not"
end av chat ended
end using terms from
As to taking the response/input from a Remote device and linking that with an "Accept" instruction in iChat is a bit beyond me.
However there is a Forum here in Apple Discussions that deals with AppleScript Here
The Full path to that forum is this Apple.com > Support > Discussions > Mac OS X Technologies > AppleScript (Where it reads "Discussions in the Index Page).

  • Accept incoming video calls & switch to fullscreen by hotkey

    Hi,
    is it possible to accept an incoming video chat invitation with a hotkey or a script?
    I use a MacMini as a media-pc (eyetv & plex) and now i want to integrate such a function to my harmony remote. I have found a script which calls a contact, but I could not find a script which accepts an incoming video conversation.
    Is there also a script for switching to full-screen mode in a video-conversation?
    Thanks a lot.

  • Cant fully recieve video calls...when I accept, it...

    Hi,
    for the last month I cannot fully receive incoming or even sometimes outcoming video calls. When somebody is calling me and I accept the video call, in 95% of the cases the skype keeps 'ringing', but nothing else really happens. I do not see the other person, neither hear any sound. Even though I 'pick up' the video call as usual, its just behaving as it is not answered. Sometimes the person who is calling me sees, that the video call already started (there are the seconds running), but nothing else happens.
    I have to either wait for about 2min, before the skype ends the call itself, or I have to cancel Skype itself in Task manager. Sometimes even this doesnt work and I have to restart the computer.
    I uninstalled Skype and downloaded the new version again. But the problem persists.
    I've got windows 7.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Try to reset all Skype settings.
    Quit Skype or use Windows Task Manager to kill any Skype.exe process. Go to Windows Start and in the Search/Run box type %appdata% and then press Enter or click the OK button. The Windows File Explorer will pop up. There locate a folder named “Skype”. Rename this folder to something different, e.g. Skype_old.
    Next go to Windows Start and in the Search/Run box type %temp%\skype and then press Enter or click the OK button. Delete the DbTemp folder.
    Restart Skype.
    N.B. If needed, you will still be able to re-establish your call and chat history. All data is still saved in the Skype_old folder.

  • HT204380 How does a user of multiple Apple devices (iPhone, iPad, Mac laptop) designate which devices will ring when an incoming Facetime call comes in.  If all three are online, should they all be able to accept an incoming video call?

    A friend of mine has an iPhone with a cellular data plan, a Macbook Pro, and a mini-iPad.  She's been using Facetime, but says that all of the devices used to ring at the time of an incoming Facetime call.  Now only her iPhone rings.  How do you set whichever device you want to ring?

    James: I agree. Please keep them shorter.
    The answers to both questions are no.
    The iPad is NOT a computer replacement. It is a mobile device.
    The iPad can not stream tro the iPhone nor an iPod.
    Hope this helps....

  • Major Security Issue on Android - Incomming video call was automatically received

    Hi all, today I encountered a major security bug. My phone was on the table, several meters away from me, facing up. When I walked past it, I saw that I have a video call which was accepted somehow automatically by skype on my mobile phone. It was my friend and he confirmed that he was able to hear and see everything for more than a minute. Is this a known bug? This is something major. Kind regards,GD    

    Some previous Android skype versions had a severe security bug, see this: http://community.skype.com/t5/Android/Automatical-calls/td-p/3806053 However, it should be gone if you have a somewhat new version; unless a new bug has surfaced.

  • Hi, I open Sype in my MAC, cant make a video call

    Hi, I open Sype in my MAC, with the latest versions, but it doent let me find or display Contacts or make a video call. 
    I open Sype in my mac and nothing happen. I can´t change my status or do anything else.
    Could you help me?
    thanks

    FaceTime is not available on devices sold in Dubai, their country doesn't allow it. Even though you may now be in a different country you won't be able to install it, including via iOS updates - it's blocked by the serial number.
    To sync photos, connect and select your phone on the left-hand sidebar of your computer's iTunes (if the sidebar isn't showing then control-S should get it to show), and on the right-hand side there should be a series of tabs, one of which should be Photos - if you select that tab you can then select which photo folders to sync to the phone. There is a bit more info on this page. You will need to sync all the photos that you want on the phone together in one go as only the most recent photo sync remains on the iPad - synced photos can't be deleted directly on the phone, instead they are deleted by not including them in the next photo sync.

  • Cant accept incoming calls

  • IPhone 4 will not accept incoming voice calls

    I have one Exchange push account running. When no 3G coverage I do not receive phone calls unless I turn off Cellular Data. Caller receive message saying "Not possible to connect call" O2 have tested and agree not working, SIM swapped. Apple Covent Garden tested and agree not working and swapped phone today but still same problem. Apple now blame Exchange configuration, hosted Exchange provider blames O2. Anyone had same problem?

    Thats because the new phone is locked to a carrier other than yours.

  • Why cant i make video calls?

    why doesnt vido skype work anymore?

    Can you post more specifics?  The current version of Skype is 6.5.  Did this happen after a recent update of Skype?
    If you camera is not working with the latest version of Skype, you can always downgrade to a previous release it may be more compatible with.
    Skype 6.1

  • Video call shows busy immediately after received.

    I am having incoming video call rejected even without one ring immediatly when received with Skype for desktop. This happens only when the other person is calling me with VIdeo call. When voice only - it rings properly until I will accept or reject.
    I have reinstalled Skype, cleaned temp folders - nothing helped.
    Weird that when I am quiting desktop version and have only my Andriod client running - Video call rings fine to me without drop.
    Skype - the latest 7.6
    Windows 8.1
    Anyone familiar with this issue?

    Please,  run the DirectX diagnostics tool.
    Go to Windows Start  and in the Run box type dxdiag.exe and press the OK button. This will start the DirectX diagnostics program. Run this diagnostics and save the results to a file. Please, attach this file to your post.
    Be aware that you will have to zip this file before attaching it here.

  • Video call not working anymore

    Hi, I have been utilizing Skype video calls for years but now when I make a video call to my husband (in Thailand) or he calls me (in the US) neither of us are notified of an incoming video call. I'll call him on the phone and say I'm starting a video call with him, but he doesn't see anything...and vice versa. We both have the latest version of Skype, and it shows we are both online so I don't know what happened. Please advise. Thanks

    Thanks for your reply.  Yes, I had a windows update on 7/17.  I have another update I need to install now. Hopefully this may help get Skype working right again.

    Do you have locations based CAC enabled that is limiting video between regions? Also any firewall between locations?

  • Group video call: Accept only certain member's vid...

    I'd like to do Group video call with 5 friends but my wi-fi is very weak.
    So I'd like to accept only 1 person's video and reject others (call only).
    Could you tell me how to do it?
    I tried but there is all accept or all reject.

    Hi,
    This Log does not contain a reference to a Ping.
    I would check your device is allowing response to Internet Pings
    It is odd though that you ad your Buddy can chat to other people.
    This may mean that you do not actually get to the Ping stage.
    This seems likely as the attempts that are listed never get past the INVITE stage.
    This would point to a Certain Buddy issue
    http://www.ralphjohns.co.uk/page15.html#CertainBuddy
    Essentially this is a NAT issue.
    NAT (Network Address Translation) is what makes a router get the incoming data stream to your computer.
    Unfortunately the way it is done is different on nearly every device.
    It is more of a global term rather than a set protocol )See item 5 in that Link)
    As the first links shows UPnP can help get around this as it seems to be less reliant on NAT to get through the routing device.
    The rip (remote IP) seems to be trying random ports to get success.

  • How can you auto-accept Video Calls in Messages.app

    In Ichat there used to be a way to select a user and under "alerts" (which is no longer a perference option in messages) choose to auto-accept video calls from that person.
    Is there a way to set up Messages to auto acccept video calls? It was great for when I wanted to check in on my puppy.
    Thanks!

    HI,
    In the normal setting of Messages this is no longer possible.
    I would use here to ask for the feature back
    http://www.apple.com/feedback/ichat.html
    The page was never very good at keeping up to date with iChat version numbers so type your specs into the Free Text area.
    It might be possible to copy the AppleScript that did this  and make a copy and remove the non Video bits  and use it from the Dock.
