Cant add people in ichat video

all my friends are able to add friends to video chats but the little + sign is shaded out and i cant add people please help

Hi wonderer123458,
If the Speeds come back in excess of 384k both up and down and your Mac is inside the specs for Multichats then you may need to run the Cron Scripts.
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=122021
The clue as to whether you do or not is whether your icon next to your Buddy pic shows a "Stacked" video icon and whtehre your Buddies do as well.
Those that do not can not multichat.

You need to update iTunes to 11.1 on your PC

Used to convert all my videos into iPhone mp4 format using Any Video Converter - then add it to my iPhone 3GS. But last few days, I cant add video files to iTunes. and the iTunes doesnt even specify the reason except for that "files are not supported"

Everyting was perfect earlier. Used to convert all my videos into iPhone mp4 format using Any Video Converter - then add it to my iPhone 3GS. But last few days, I cant add video files to iTunes. and the iTunes doesnt even specify the reason except for that "files are not supported"
Everything is fine.
-They are the right format
-Quicktime is updated
-I have tried simply dragging them into the 'movie' library
-I have tried going to file<add file to library
Nothing works, has anyone else had this problem and found a way around it?
Any and all help appreciated.

In addition to Mike's suggestions, you only have 4GB of RAM and Mavericks does use more RAM than other versions. You may also want to look at the apps that startup on login and the possiblity of upgrading RAM.

I cant add my videos to itunes 11.2 which are already on computer, I cant add my videos to itunes 11.2 which are already on computer, I cant add my videos to itunes 11.2 which are already on computer

this **** itunes cant detect my computer videos , And i cant add it to itunes movies library
I want to know urgently how i can add videos to itunes movies library

Deleting a film or TV show from your iPad won't affect what is in your computer's iTunes library, and what you have on your computer's iTunes library won't affect the amount of storage that is used on your iPad - it's only what you currently have on your iPad that will use its storage.

Updated to the newest itunes and i now cant add videos from my computer

So i just updated my iTunes to the newest one, and now for some reason I can't add the videos I have on my computer onto iTunes. I re-downloaded it, repaired it, and yet still nothing. The files are .mov so I know they can play on iTunes but for some reason I cant add them.

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
For device connectivity issues see TS1538: iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows, in particular section 5, and TS4062: iTunes 10.5 and later: Troubleshooting iTunes Wi-Fi syncing.

I found the following comment the other day that goes some way to explaining why iChat might have problems with some NAT routers:
http://www.technologyevangelist.com/2007/02/ichatav_the_bestun.html#comment-53326
While it doesn't offer any solutions it might be worth firing off some iChat feedback to Apple referencing it. It seems like it might be a trivial bug for Apple to fix and could well alleviate many of the problems people are having.
In the mean time if your router is one that has SIP ALG you could try disabling it and forwarding all relevant ports to your machine.

Why I cant add some video files to itunes library?

I have got new ipad 32gb model. I thought I will play some song videos or movies on it from my PC. I added video files to the itunes library. But I see only few files that are added to the itunes library. I cant add some video files to itunes library no matter what I do. Due to that I cand all movies to my Ipad. Please help!

Hi like to explain my experience,
I am using Windows 8 PC and Windows 7 Lap top.
I convert my video to ipad format and add to library in the itunes.
But it was not accepting and these steps worked for me.
1.Convert your video using videoconverters. For freemake video converter works well. You can also use Quicktime pro or Miro video converters. There are many softwares freely avilable.
2.Connect your i pad to your PC/ Laptop.
3.Open your itunes, it should show your ipad and Library.
4.Open the folder of your converted video and try to opening it using itunes by right click.
5.Your converted movies will open in itunes and add to home sharing videos in Library movie option after you login with your apple id.
6.Slect sync movie option and syncronising it.
7.It will come in ipad

I cant add my old videos back to my itunes library after upgrading to IOS5

i cant add my old videos back to my itunes library after my upgrade to IOS5.
It pops out message ' video cant be added as your ipad cannot play it "
Files are already in MP4 format, tried to reconvert them already. just installed itunes,
the only difference was the upgrade to IOS 5
Really need help~
Thanks in advance!

I also have the problem of larger mp4's not showing up in iTunes I know they are good valid iPod files because I have played them before on my iPod but removed them and now can't add them again after upgrading to 6.0.5.20 I have tried on 2 seperate computers.
Does anyone know where Apple's 'report a bug' webpage has been hidden?

Skype - Cant make group. or add people in a conver...

Okay so, i can talk too one person @ a time, but when i try to add people, the one person im talking too can only see the grey picture of the person ive added and we cannot use the call button at all, and when they try to add somebody i get kicked out of the conversation. When i make groups they cannot see that im in the group and i get a message telling in the chat box that i cannot use the chat because they have an older version of skype/that the chat is being updated.
i have tried:
* ReInstalling (uninstalling then installing again)
* Downloading older versions
* Make the others get the same version as me
* Deleted/Renamed skype folder in %appdata%
* Rebooted my router
* Checked all skype settings
* Restarted my computer everytime i tried something new
This is really frustrating :c

Hello Starmada, Welcome to Apple Support Communities!
You will need to start a new group chat; you will need to add the people again to your group chat. If you are a beginner to group chat, go to this link for a basic guide support.apple.com/kb/HT5760
Have a lovely day
Cheers

Multiple iChat Video Conference Windows?

Just like many people I am getting ready to participate in my fantasy football draft and we have a few people that will need to be at the draft remotely. We are planning on using iChat to video conference with the people who have intel based iMacs running Leopard.
Is there a way to have multiple one-on-one iChat video conferences open at the same time instead of a 3-way conference all together? Meaning I want to be able to have an open one-on-one connection with one person but have another one-on-one video connection separately so I can mute one video connection but not the other.
I guess a different question would be can you have one 3-way video conference but only mute your conversation to one of the participants but not the other?
Thanks for you assistance!

No cant be done.

I Cannot Add Buddies in iChat 4 and 5 - How do I fix this ?

Disclaimer: Apple does not necessarily endorse any suggestions, solutions, or third-party software products that may be mentioned in the topic below. Apple encourages you to first seek a solution at Apple Support. The following links are provided as is, with no guarantee of the effectiveness or reliability of the information. Apple does not guarantee that these links will be maintained or functional at any given time. Use the information below at your own discretion.
I Cannot Add Buddies in iChat 4 and 5
Many people are reporting that they cannot add Buddies to either iChat 4 or iChat 5.
The Symptoms are that the Buddy appears in the Buddy List and then does the "Brightening/Fading" cycle but fails to be anywhere in the list including Off Line Buddies.
To Show Off Line Buddies, highlight the Buddy list to bring to the "front".
Then go to the View Menu and Enable Show Off Line Buddies.
(there is also an Option to display these in a separate Group).
There can be many causes and I will attempt to deal with then in the order that they are most likely.
A) The Contact is already in the Address Book.
When Adding a Buddy via the use of the + Sign at the Bottom of the Buddy List (Then Add Buddy) or invoking it from the Buddies menu a drop down appears to slide down out of the Buddy List Header area
In this slide out/drop down, you get the chance to Add the Screen Name and then the First Name Last Name details of the Buddy.
iChat checks the Address Book and if the First Name, Last Name items do not match any contact in the Address Book already then the Buddy will be added to the Buddy list.
As the Address Book does not allow two contacts to have the same name they will not be added to the iChat Buddy List if the name exists already.
In iChat 3 and earlier there was an Error Message that popped up saying there was Feedbag Error
See here for More
Note: AIM Protocols call Lists "Feedbags". Contents (Buddies) are "Food" and of course Food is kept in Feedbags.
The Address Book is one Feedbag in this case and the Screen Name (only) Buddy List held on the AIM Server is the other.
The Software puts the two together for Display purposes
The Fix.
Either:
1) Add them as Screen Name only
2) Use the Arrow head at the end of the Last Name line to open the Address Book and pick the Contact.
3) Open the Address Book and Edit their Card to Add the Screen Name, then drag them from the Name column to the iChat Buddy List.
4) During any type of Chat use the item in the Buddies Menu to Add the person (it will display their Screen Name in Dark text if not in the Buddy List - Then item 2 can also be used)
B) Parental Controls
There are similar Symptoms if the Mac User Account is subject to Parental Controls.
If the Mac User Account on the computer is not an Admin account it is a Standard or Managed one
A Managed one has Parental Controls Enabled.
There is a Tab for Mail and iChat.
If it is turned on for iChat then all buddies are Blocked initially (in iChat 4 Jabber and Bonjour Buddy List cannot be used.)
Adding AIM valid Screen Names (AIM, Those with either @mac.com or @me.com endings) to the allow List Unblocks those Buddies and they will show in the Buddy List as On or Off line
The Fix.
In this case if you are the Managed account you have to get the Admin account to add the Buddy to the Buddy allowed list in Parental Controls.
Exception
There is a very large exception.
Due to the fact that the way Parental Controls blocks names until they appear in the Allow List there can be a problem if testing the same iChat Details in a Test Account.
Lets say you are the Admin User on the Mac.
You set up a second Mac User Account called Test.
In this you set up iChat with the same details (Screen name) you use in your Main Mac User Account.
You then test Parental Controls by turning it On and setting the iChat Limit option.
Then you add to the allow List one or two AIM valid names.
You check iChat and find they are the only Buddies that show up.
It works, so you return to your main Mac User Account and discover that most of your Buddies are missing.
On checking the iChat Menu > Preferences > Accounts > Security Tab you find the Allow Specific People option is Enabled and the list only includes those Buddies you set in Parental Controls.
Choosing allow All does not seem to bring back the Buddies even if you Log out of the Test Mac User Account.
The Fix Here
Is to Disable all the Parental Control Settings again (Remove names from any list) before Logging out of the Test Mac User Account.
The cause is partly to do with the Setting in iChat > Preferences > General Section that reads "When I quit iChat, Set the Status to Off Line" which is not the default - leaving a partial login for Off Line Messaging. As a consequence your Buddy List is constantly being told to block certain Screen Names.
A Variation on this is if you have Two Log-ins of your Screen Name from either different apps or computers.
Altering the Buddy List in one effects the other login. The computer or app that was logged in first take precedence.
C) Adding Buddies as the wrong type (In Buddy List - But always Off Line)
This applies more to iChat 4 than it does to iChat 5
At the Add Buddy Screen/Slide in iChat 4 you have to choose if the Buddy is an AIM, @mac. or MobileMe name in a drop down.
The software shows the @mac.com or @me.com endings in grey in the Screen Name text field and adds this for you.
This can lead to Buddies being added as the wrong type as in ralphjohnsr added as [email protected] etc.
It can also lead to people being added with 2 @ symbols in the Screen Name ([email protected]@mac.com) and iChat not always telling you this is not allowed.
In both iChat 4 and 5, as Jabber IDs/Screen Names also look like Email Addresses, we have to also consider whether AIM names have been added to a Jabber List or Jabber Names added to AIM valid Lists.
D) Plain old Typos
Here I am talking about misreading someone's Screen Name and typing that in (Such as receiving and email with a Screen Name in it and typing the letter O for 0 (zero).)
And of course, just plain typing mistakes.
The Fix for C) and D)
The Buddy in this case will be in the Buddy List but will always be Off line
Highlight the Buddy with one click.
Do a Get Info (Apple()/Command(⌘) key and I key together) and their Info card will show up.
Correct as Required.

Thanks Ralph,
Some thoughts.
To Show Off Line Buddies, highlight the Buddy list to bring to the "front".
Then go to the {color:red}Show Menu{color} and Enable Show Off Line Buddies.
(there is also an Option to display these in a separate Group).
Do you mean under the {color:green}View{color} menu where I see Show Offline Buddies? (both iChat 4.0.8 and 5.0.3)
A)… In the {color:red}slide out that appears from the top{color} of the Buddy list you get the chance to Add the Screen Name and then the First Name Last Name details of the Buddy.
I kept looking for a button for the "slide out" at the top of the Buddy list. Found out it's the dialog box that appears when you click "+" (Add a new buddy…) at the bottom of the list. Yes, I can act like a beginner too
(Slide out to me sounds like a sideways slide out, versus a Pop Up or Pop Down Dialog box).
As the Address Book does not allow two contacts to have the same name they will not be added to the iChat Buddy List {color:green}if the name already exists.{color}
The Address Book i one Feedbag in this case
The Address Book {color:green}is{color} one Feedbag in this case
B) Adding AIM valid Screen Names (AIM, Those with either @mac.com or @me.com endings) to the allow List Unblocks those Buddies and they will show in the Buddy List as On {color:red}of{color} Off line
… as On {color:green}or{color} Off line
*The Fix.
Exception*
{color:red}The{color} you add to the allow {color:red}List{color} one or two AIM valid names.
{color:green}Then{color} you add to the allow one or two AIM valid names.
C)
At the Add Buddy Screen/Slide in {color:red}ichat{color} 4
At the Add Buddy Screen/Slide in {color:green}iChat 4{color}
In both iChat 4 and 5 as Jabber IDs/Screen Names also look like Email Addresses we have to also consider
In both iChat 4 and 5 as Jabber IDs/Screen Names also look like Email Addresses{color:green}. We{color} have to also consider

Ichat video not working.. Need network genius

Hello all, I've spent numerous hours trying to get my ichat video to work. but nothing does.
I just bought a new imac a couple weeks ago and everything is updated-
I have DSL my ISP is internet america - and i'm using a zoom x6 modem.
I have a 1483 bridged IP + NAT connection
I've set up a static internal IP - and forwarded all the ports I need to - Upnp is enabled.
I've tested it with the 3 ichat test bot things, and they all work, but when i try real people it doesn't work. i get some kind of an error-8
I'm stuck, and all the tech support places i call for my router or for apple don't have any idea what to do. I need a genius! like in the commercial!
thanks,
wyatt
p.s. - please for the love of all that is holy don't tell me to restart my modem and computer again.

Hi
Welcome to the  Discussions
I've set up a static internal IP - and forwarded all the ports I need to - Upnp is enabled.
Use UPnP or Port Forwarding not both.

IChat video is not working after installed the 10.6.4 update

Hi. I'd like to know, how to solve the problem for my iChat video that has stopped working after I installed the latest update. I dunno what's the problem but it shows that, when I clicked on the preferences for iChat on the Audio/Video, I got "This computer does not support video chats". But that thing is, my iSight camera's working just fine, even the indicator's also lighted up. Is there any solution to this?
I would really appreciate it.
Thanks.
Regards,
Daniel.

Hi,
The camera can only be used by one App at a time (unless you have certain Add-ons).
However if it works in other applications and not iChat I would check that the Video Menu > Camera Enabled is ticked.
This, if unticked, is the camera Off.
IF you have just done the 10.6.4 update I would Repair Permissions as well.
Try rebooting the computer.

We need to get some help and explanations about iChat video not working.

I've read so many postings about iChat Video hoping for an answer to my problem, but not only did I not find an answer, no one else has been receiving an answer either.
I've had multiple problems with my ichat video not working.
I either get an error saying someone didn't accept which isn't the case, or I get some error-8 or something ridiculous like that.
Can we get some help from apple support or something?!

Short answer: No, we can´t...!
Apple don´t care about us users, unless you pay for an Apple Care Service. Try your best to follow some advices from around this forum. That´s the only help you will get.
Some people have got their iChat video working again after following some advice. By the way. I´m not one of them... I´ve tried every single tip I read here, but I´m still stuck with text chat only...
Good luck.

Cant add people in ichat video
