Connected w/ ichat, but can't see or hear other person

So me and my friend have been trying to get ichat working for days. I have a mac (just bought it...first mac), and he has a dell (new, also). We're connecting through aim because my .mac account won't let me sign on and my google one won't either. After I accept, or he accepts the invitation, it says that we are connected, but I can only see myself, and he can only see himself, and we can't hear each other. One time we connected we could hear each other but that's it. Please help!

Hi,
With newer versions of AIM for a PC there has been problems with AIM posting that AIM 6.5 will not Video to iChat.
http://www.aim.com/helpfaq/starting_out/getstarted.adp#608
AIM have yet to post any Support pages for AIM 6.8
Having said that some people do say they can get it to work.
The PC end certainly needs to to this though.
http://www.ralphjohns.co.uk/page12.html#_Service To allow the app through the Windows Firewall as an Exception.
It also pays to go to the AIM Preferences (in the Buddy List Menu Bar under Edit) and then to Enhanced IM and reselect the camera.
The sound input devices needs to selected and calibrated in the relevant Control Panel to be used by the AIM App. (if it is disconnected it has to be done again)
iChat to iChat will Video chat with a GoogleID as it invokes the A/V Protocols iChat uses.
GoogleTalk itself is a Jabber server and uses different audio Protocols (Jingle) and therefore will not connect to iChat even with a Google ID
An @Mac.com ID currently has to be added as an AIM type Screen Name and the whole name including the @Mac.com suffix typed in as well
I may receive some form of compensation, financial or otherwise, from my recommendation or link.

Try a Reset [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!

VPN Connected but can not see folders / server

I have established a connection between an OSX server and client but now can not see the server or any services on the client. There are no servers listed in the 'Network' section of finder and using 'Connect to server' I can not see it either. The log on the server shows the connection and the client does as well but other than that I can not do anything with the connection.
Details
- Using 10.6 osx server and a 10.6 client.
- Connected via VPN, L2TP
Thanks,

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

I have home sharing on but can't see my library on the computers icon. iTunes does display my purchased tunes but not my own imports.

I have home sharing on in iTunes but can't see my library when I use the computers icon on Apple TV. iTunes does display my purchased tunes but not my own imports.
I can play my own tunes by selecting them on my iMAC and directing them to Apple TV. I think that I should be able to see my entire library on Apple TV shouldn't I?
Am up-to-date with iTunes and using Mavericks OS. I am connecting to Apple TV with an Airport Extreme 802.11n Wi-FI and a brand new Apple TV.
Thanks for any comments,
Roger

Okay, so HomeSharing is not working. Most likely due to a network issue.
Is the ATV and computer running iTunes actually on the same network? Many new routers create seperate networks for the wired and wireless portions of the local network.

I am connected to wifi, but can't open webpages or collect mail

I am connected to wifi, but can't open webpages or collect mail. I have tried to reconnect; to forget the network, all those things that should hepl. My phone and my computer recognize the network, the ipad doesn't. I mean I am connected and have a full scala of connection bows, but nothing happens.

You iPad recognizes the wifi signal, but is not connected.
Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

ISight, other person CAN listen but CAN'T see me on Video-Conference online

My iSight is recognized by Skype, iChat, etc..
But not by Wengomeeting Video-Conference (free chatting online with NO applications and NO downloads).
The other person can hear me but can NOT see me.
The other person is using a PC.
Can anyone help??

As discussed in Email, wengomeeting and MeBeam this is a Web based Site that uses Flash.
This means somewhere there is a setting (or in the case of Mebeam an Automatic pop up) of the Control for allowing your camera to be used by the Web browser.
Part of this is setting it to the spec for your camera
