HT2515 What happens if our video chat is not connecting with the other person?

What happens if our video chat is not connecting with the other person?

Hi,
Not really enough info to help constructively.
Which Version of iChat ?
Is it iChat to iChat or iChat to Messages (i.e Mac to Mac) or AIM (iChat) to PC AIM (needs to be a compatible version)
Is this AIM to AIM (Includes AIM valid Screen Names from certain Apple IDs) ?
Is it Jabber to Jabber (this can only be done Mac to Mac in Messages and/or iChat) ?
Do you get any failure message ?
In the Video Menu > Connection Doctor > Errors tab do you get any info ?
NOTES
As mentioned it is iChat to iChat or iChat to AIM on a PC if the PC has a compatible version (which is not the latest) (where it lists iChat it also means Messages in Mountain Lion)
It has to be either AIM to AIM IDs or Jabber to Jabber IDs
It cannot be Jabber to some GoogleTalk Web Browser Login (or Facebook)
It cannot be Jabber/Google Talk to the PC app called GoogleTalk
Google released an PC only App that will use Jabber protocols for Video (Called Jingle)
Their web Browser Plug-in also uses Jingle for Video and Audio chat but iChat and Messages use SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) to connect. The two are not compatible.
Facebook also run a Jabber server and have apparently released their Own Plug-in which can cause problems of it's own on a Mac.
However you also cannot video to a Web Browser Login on Mac or PC
If this is iChat 6 it does not Video on the Yahoo Accounts (that is Text Only)
This means it cannot Video to any version of Yahoo on Mac or PC or any Web Browser method.

Hello,
I'm sorry you're having trouble; unfortunately, I'm not sure I understand what's going wrong. Would you mind giving me more details about what you're trying to do and what the problem appears to be?
Just in case you're using the desktop version of Acrobat and not Acrobat.com (which is the forum to which you posted your question), here's a link to their forum so you can repost your question there:

My Video chat is not working with messages.

When someone tries to send me an invite for a video chat the green light shows up but I do not receive and invitation window to accept it.
I am using an aim account on messages and my server settings are api.oscar.aol.com, port 443, and use SSL is checked.
In connection doctor is says my router type is port restricted and that "This computer's network setup includes one or more devices that are not fully compatible with audio and video chatting. I am not sure if this is the reason my video chat is not working.
If anyone can help me please let me know.

Hi,
Most routers can be accessed via Web Browser.
The IP shown in System Preferences > Network > Advanced Button > TCP/IP tab in the "Router IP" box is generally the one to use.
You also tend to need a User ID and Password.
Apple Base Stations are different in that they have an App in the Utilities folder that accesses the set up screens.
Your router can have different methods of opening the ports.
Port Forwarding
This tends to be the oldest of the methods.
Essentially you point a port to an IP (computer) to allow it.
A collection of ports may need to be entered one by one.
Once set up, only that computer can use those ports.
Port Triggering
This cuts down the number of ports set to be Open as it involves "listening" ports that then open further ports
iChat/Messages needs some ports to be open all the time and you set these a bit like Port Forwarding but with listing the IP to send the data to.
The A/V side can have a listening port (port 5678 for the Visible part of the Invite)
The advantage is that multiple computers can use the same ports.
DMZ (Demilitarised Zone)
This is an ON or Off setting (Enable/Disable)
It opens all the port (65535 of them) to one IP (i.e only one computer can use this.)
It is sort of like Port Forwarding Extreme
UPnP (Universal Plug 'n' Play)
A setting that allows the App to tell the router which ports to open.
This means the router can carry on doing DHCP and multiple computer can use the ports involved.
Where these setting are varies at least as much as there are manufacturers.
This is Linksys Port Forwarding (the arrows above the pic show the Others (it does not show DMZ)

Is there a way to predict which video projectors will not work with the 2012 MacBook Air using the Mini-display to VGA adapter?

I recently upgraded from a 2011 MBA to a 2012 MBA due to the larger capacity SSD. The 2011 MBA running Lion and Mountain Lion worked with every video projector for lectures. The new 2012 MBA is hit or miss with video projectors. It is not an adapter problem. I have multiple Apple mini-display to VGA adapters with the latest firmware. They all work just fine with the 2011 MBA. Re-starting the 2012 MBA with the adapter and projector connected has not helped.
It it not acceptable to have a laptop that works with projectors some of the time. Apple is aware of the problem. Is the only choice to go back to the 2011 MBA?

I installed 10.8.2 update today with my 2012 MBA. The details of the update include: Resolves a video issue with some VGA projectors when connected to certain Mac notebooks.
I tried using the MBA with a video projector and it found the correct resolution and connected with the projector automatically. Using detect displays in the disoplay preference pane wasn't even necessary.
I hope this is the fix I have been waiting for with the 2012 MBA.
Thank you Apple.

Whoever starts video chat 1st gets to hear audio, other person: no sound?

Weird issue:
Person A: 24" iMac, 10.6.1 Snow Leopard, iChat 5, built in iSight and Mic
Person B: MacBook Pro, 10.6.1 Snow Leopard, iChat 5, built in iSight and Mic
Problem:
Person A starts a video chat with Person B. Person B answers and sees video and hears the audio from person A. However, Person A can not hear Person B, but can see the video.
Vice Vera.
Person B starts a video chat with A. B can see and hear A, but A can not hear B, only see them.
Obviously, I've check the audio settings on both ends and that is not the issue as the mics and speakers are working, its just they only work depending on who STARTS the video chat?
Any ideas?

Hi Ryan,
A successful chat depends on several things.
Your Processor speed, what the processor is doing and your Internet Speed with normally the Upload being the controlling factor.
Alongside this you have what a particular Buddy is sending you in terms of a data feed.
At 64 bit your Processor will try to make a 640 X 480 pic at the best framerate it can manage. (15fps 20fps and 30fps tend to be the splits)
So lets say your processor is a Core 2 Duo and can do 64 Bit but it is an early Model and you have a web Browser and mail open.
If the Web Browser is n a site that refreshes the page it will make demands on the Processor, so will Mail periodically on mail fetches. If you happen to be doing a download even more processor will be used.
The Processor also has to deal with the incoming Video feed.
This is where the speed of your Buddy can come into play.
If they have a better Processor and a better Upload speed they can send you more data than iChat can buffer (or at least organise in to a constant stream).
The Upshot is that Audio tends to get dropped first or pixelation occurs.
Using 32 bit is like an extra layer of Capping that can smooth things out over and above the Bandwidth more direct method.

HT201441 What happens if I can't get in touch with the previous owner? Will apple contact him?

I bought an iPhone 5 on line and the phone is locked under icloud activation. There is no way to get in touch with the seller. Will Apple be able to contact them if I provide the imei number of the device? If not what do I do?

I'm afraid so. The vendor should have restored it to factory condition before selling it, so basically he has sold you an unusable device. If you have no way of contacting him for a refund or to unlock it you are, as you say, stuck.

I converted an album to a slideshow: I exported it, selecting itunes as an export option. A window comes up that says iphoto at the top, but nothing happens. Also, this window will not close with the red button - I have to "force quit" and reopen iphoto

I can't seem to export a slideshow from iPhoto. I go through the export routine, but an iPhoto page comes up with other slideshows I've sent to iTunes, but nothing happens. I've waited, hoping something was happening, but nothing does. Further, once this page is up, you can't click out of it with the red button - to get it off the screen, I have to "force quit".

With Firefox 23 and TabMixPlus 0.4.1.0 installed, an additional box is added to the Tabs options panel that allows 3 options for the tab bar:
*One is to '''Always''' hide the tab bar. I do not know whether future versions of TabMixPlus will remove that option. I have tested in Firefox 23 and it is possible to completely hide the tab bar regardless of the number of tabs open.
Other options added in the additional box with TabMixPlus 0.4.1.0 are:
*Never
*When I have only one tab

What happened to Firefox Live Chat?

What happened to Firefox Live Chat support? This is not Live Chat, yet, this is the most relevant link I'd found, and this is NOT Live Chat. Don't you think that if Live Chat had been discontinued that the most relevant links would be to posts asking what the hell happened to it?

I think there weren't enough volunteers available to staff live chat, and given the choice of how to allocate resources, the knowledge base and forum were given priority because they reach many more users through search engines. Lately volunteers have taken to Twitter.
Why do you prefer to use Live Chat?

HT5127 I have the trial version- love it. I want to buy the real version. But I've been making a video on the trial version. What happens to my video I'm making once I download the real version. I cannot lose it.

Transitioning from the trial version to the final cut version. Does the trial just turn into the final cut pro real version? I want to download it before the 30 days are up but I dont want to lsoe my video? HELP!

Yes! As long as you don't delete your project files/library, you'll be fine. When you install the full version, it might create a new library, go to your movies folder or wherever your current library is and just double click it to open it.

Whats an app that my boyfriend and I can use to video chat and text (type to each other) at the same time?

I have an Ipod Touch and he has an Iphone 4. We have tried tango, but the audio on it is awful. He has 4g but on certain apps he has to have wifi to use them, like facetime, but he doesnt have wifi. So I have facetime on my ipod touch, and i have wifi, but he doesnt! so It needs to be an app that can be accessed with wifi AND 4g. So we need this app to allow us to do video, and at the same time type to each other on the screen. ( or at the bottom of the screen, whichever.) Because for some reason on the different video apps we've tried he can never hear me, and sometimes i cant hear him. I dont always have a very good signal, so if we couild just have the video we would be fine with just typing to each other. Also I'm staying at a hotel with my parents and they sleep early and i dont want to wake them, so typing to each other would be very ideal. Anyone know of an app that can do these things?
Please Help,
Sarita

Have you ever even used skype on an iphone or ipod? We tried it and there is no way to type to each other while you are video chatting. You can do the typing during the video on a COMPUTER, but not on an iphone or ipod.

Can't Video Chat or Screen Share with iMessages to iChat?

So I just recently got a new MacBook Pro with Mountain Lion to replace my white MacBook running Snow Leopard. I noticed iChat has been replaced by iMessages. All of my other Mac friends still use iChat. I didn't think this would be a huge difference, but I can no longer video chat or screen share with them.
I send them an invite, and they get an IM saying "[account] has sent you a video chat request". I'm registered under my AIM account, and so are they, so that's not the problem. When they send me invites, nothing happens. I get no notification, and it just shows "Waiting for response from [account]."
So I thought "okay, I'll just re-download iChat from a third-party site".
The download link just takes me directly to Apple's page about Mountain Lion. So that's out.
There's no option in my security on iMessages to override this issue and allow unknown developers. I have "Allow AOL's servers to relay video chats" option selected under Privacy, and that does nothing, either.
What's the deal? Can I no longer video chat (or screen share) with "third party" chat clients via iMessages anymore?

Hi,
I have tested my Messages (Ver 7.0.1 in OS X 10.8.2) to various versions of iChat (3, 4 and 5)
iChat 3 can send invites and open Video (Or Audio Only) chats to Messages.
The iChat 4 and 5 can Video Chat To and From Messages. (I was using AIM as I have more accounts I can play with)
I have even done 3 way Video chats in both Bonjour and AIM login using Messages and iChat 4 and 5.
I have just double checked between Messages and iChat 4 Offering the Messages Screen to the G4 (iChat 4) and I was successful.
Screen Sharing requires a Random port for the VNC connection that does the "picture" bit.
However if you had it working in iChat then this should still be working in the Messages set up. (Basically your router is doing UPnP or is an Apple Base Station doing Port Mapping Protocol)
Also iChat will not work in Mountain Lion (even if you grab the iChat 6 version)
Each version is very specific to the OS version it is with.
For instance during OS X 10.4 it got to OS X 10.4.11 but during those same increases iChat got to version 3.1.9
There was no update to Messages until OS X 10.8.2 making Messages version 7.0.1
Those small changes tend to mean that version 7.0 will not work with OS X 10.8.2 ( or the other way round)
It is all to do with the support apps and frameworks that help the app to work.

What happens if AppleID verification email is not responded to?

What happens if AppleID verification email is not responded to? I have to setup 100 iphones for user who do not use email. I have email addresses for them, but don't want to have to config email for them and teach them to use it just to answer one email. IT will not let me sign in as them and respond to the email, so each user has to have IT config email on a computer and then they can respond. This is a huge productivity hit for us.

Hello mum_of_four,
I’m all for getting the best possible price for anything I’m buying, so I’m sure it was disappointing to find yourself locked out of your own BestBuy.com account. I’m sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused.
While rare, there are times where the verification email doesn’t arrive as anticipated (i.e.: arrived in junk/spam folder, another email address attached to the account); however, I’d hate for you to miss out on a great sale price, so I pulled up your account using the email address on your forum profile. It appears your concerns reached Lillibeth with our customer care team, and she was able help modify your account and sent you a password reset link to help. Have you successfully been able to log into your account since then?
I hope to hear from you soon,
