How can I do a video call with my friend?

I am new to the tech world,61 yr.old senior citizen. I do not know anything yet, a tech connected to Skype so I could see and talk live to my friend via of video but she has an Apple i-phone so I can't yet. I was wondering if she's connected to face book can I contact her via Skype to her Facebook contact she has on her i-phone that uses Apple's version of their Skype? Since Skype is free to the Facebook users. Sorry, I can't be a volunteer. I can ask questions that alot of Seniors like me would be able to learn about this community and we could read some topics that we could use to start us off and reply what works in our circumstances and eventually maybe develop the skills that would makes us useful to the Program.

Dear Newbie-61,
Welcome to the Skype Community!
All calls between Skype users are free, regardless of which computer or handheld phone or tablet they use to call each other. What is important is that the Skype software must be downloaded and installed on the particular computer, laptop, tablet, or smart phone that you use. Depending upon what kind of set-up you have, you may or may not need a separate headset. Laptop computers and smart phones use the microphone and camera that comes with them.
To download Skype, please start by clicking on this link: Download Skype After you download and install Skype, sign on using the account you used to post your message on this Community.
Then. you and your friend can exchange contact invitations. This FAQ article explains how to do it:

I can't have a video call with my Gtalk contacts

Hi, I'm a new user in Mac world. Recently I bought a macbook pro and I have a problem with iChat. My girlfriend have a PC and we talk thru Gtalk video chat when I has a PC. I configure the iChat to have a video call with her but the video call icon is disable so I can't send her the invitation for the video.
I decided go to gmail.com and have the video call there but when the video call starts she can see me but i can see her, I only see her photo contact and my photo contact.
Please help me with this problem because is driving me crazy!

Hi,
When Google started out doing the Video Chat bit they used the Flash Plug-in but now use their own.
However that does mean that now and then people find the the Flash and Google Plug-in clash (More likely for Flash Web Based chats not to work)
I don't use Safari every day.
Firefox has a Tools Menu and can list the plug-ins in there.
I can only see a place in Safari to turn Off All Plug-ins in the Preferences > Security.
Uploaded with Skitch!
Check that you have the Flash Plug-in

How can i get a video file with subtitle out of DVD Studio Pro?

i got a project for a dvd in dvd studio pro. There are subtitles which i created within dvd studio pro.
Now i want make a web version of the video with the subtitle, how can i get to this?

Hi Mr. Cutter,
There is an app called "D-Subtitler for Mac" (as well as several others)
which should allow you to extract the subtitles from a copy of the
finished dvd and use them otherwise.
It's been awhile since I had to do it but it is a fairly common need
so the software exists.

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.

How can i get skype video calling to work on my mini ipad

do need an additional webcam for skype calling

No. The iPad has a built in Camera that faces the front of the iPad you can use.
All you need to do, is download the Skype App from the App Store. Once downloaded, Open it, and sign into your Skype account. If you don't have one, you can create one using the "New to Skype?" Create an Account > " option at the bottom of the screen.
From there just tap on a contact to bring up the Details page, and tap on the Video Call button to start a call.

How can I habilitate Facebook video calls in OS Mavericks?

When I installed the new version of OS X, the video call button in Facebook was gone. I cannot send nor recive video calls in Facebook. I know there are other programs to have video calls, like FaceTime, but not all my friends have an Apple product and almost all of them use Facebook so it is the best way for me to communicate with them.

How can I view live videos supported with adobe flash on my IPad2?

Need help viewing live videos supported with adobe flash.

iSwifter, Photon, Skyfire, Puffin - are all browsers that MAY work for you. The iPad does not run Flash and never has. See if one of the browsers will suit your needs.

How can I burn a video shot with an iPhone 4 to a CD so a Windows user can watch it?

I shot a short video with my AT&T iPhone 4 and it's stored in iPhoto 9.1.5 on my iMac running OS X 10.6.8. What do I need to do in order to burn it to a CD so I can give it to a Windows user so he can view the video on his PC running Vista? I'm not sure about the video file format needed for Windows to play the video. Thanks for any help you can provide. I know this is likely a very basic question, but nothing I've tried seems to work. Any suggestions or links to resources that can answer this question will be deeply appreciated.

You should be able to connect to their computer via your USB cable, copy the video over using Windows Explorer and the PC should be able to view it without any conversion.
When you do this, make sure they don't have iTunes set to automatically open and automatically sync when an iOS device is connected.

My iPod Classic is seen by Windows but not by iTunes. I have reset it, gone to disk mode and it won't show up in iTunes. There appears to be music on it in a file called MUSICSAVE. How can I get this to work with iTunes again?

My iPod Classic is seen by Windows but not by iTunes. I have reset it, gone to disk mode and it won't show up in iTunes. There appears to be music on it in a file called MUSICSAVE. How can I get this to work with iTunes again?

1. Update iTunes to the latest version. Plug in your iPod. If iTunes still can't recognize it, then in iTunes in the top left corner click help> run diagnostics. On the box that comes up, check the last two things. Click next and it should identify your iPod.
2. Click on your windows start menu. Type in "services". Click on it and when it pops up, on the bottom of it click on "standard". Now Scroll down to find "Apple Mobile Device" Right click it when you see it and click on "Start". When it has started, close iTunes and replug in your iPod and it should show up.
3. Check the USB cable
4 Verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is installed
5. Restart the Apple Mobile Device Service and verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed.
6. If you just want to add some photos, songs and movies from computer to your devices, you can use an iTunes alternative to do the job
7. Check for third-party software conflicts.

I was trying to get the iOS 8.2 on my iPhone 5 but then it stopped and my phone is now on recovery mode I have pictures I need and they did not all fit on iCloud how can I use the phone again with ALL my pictures and videos without restoring it?

Contacts are designed to be synced to a supported application on the computer or a cloud service.
Pictures taken with the device are designed to regularly be copied off the device to a computer as would be done with any digital camera.
If you have failed to use the device as designed it may be too late to recovery anything.
Is the device regularly backed up to a computer via iTunes? If so, the most recent backup (when restored to a replacement iOS device) should contain all contacts and pictures as of when the backup was created.

How can I create a video with effects using my ipad?

How can I create a video with effects (sepia, B&W, Negative, oval or any other shape borders) using my ipad? I would Like to keep a higher res and also be able to shrink it down to email or send in a MMS. Or should I just upload it to my PC and mess with it there? Some of the apps I have are very easy to use compared to the learning curve needed for video editing software.
Thanks

Thats the Problem . . . how many apps do I have to try until I find the one I want? I noticed a few will render the video thus losing its original size. When I went to edit it more in iMovie the video was smaller--not good. And what software do you suggest, Templeton, for the PC? I love the apps because they are easy. I dont have hours to mess around on a software to figure out if its something I want. Im looking for simplicity. Maybe Ill get more into it later. I just want to record simple video of my playing the guitar for self analysis and create a short video for family and friends.
Apps:
iMovie
CinemaFXV
VideoFix
Cartoonatic
Video illusion
VidEditor
Software:
Windows Movie maker (wont accept .mov files)
After Effects (Too little time, so much to learn)
Wondershare (Very easy but little choices)
VideoPad (Again. Few choices)

How can I do a video call with my friend?
