I can hear my buddy but not see in Video Chat...

Sort of. Its an odd situation. In video chats, I can see my buddy just fine, but she can't see me. On my side the only symptom of this problem is that "local video" refuses to appear. Any thoughts? I read a similar topic in the forums, but it dealt with Perian, which I've never heard of.

Hi,
Welcome to the    Discussions
Perian is a System Add-on that gets added to System Preferences that help Quicktime play formats it does not normally play.
Are you saying that if you click your own Video Icon next to your Buddy pic at the head of the Buddy List you do not get a Preview ?
And no pic appears in iChat > Preferences > Video section ?
I would do a PRAM reset first.
Shut down the computer.
Restart it holding down APPLE(or ⌘ )ALT(⌥)+PR Keys until you have heard three Start Up Bongs.

  • My movies and music videos won't show up on screen, I can hear the sound but not see the video how do I fix this?

    My movies and music videos won't show up on my computer screen, I can hear the sound but not see the video how do I fix this? I'm not sure what to do as far as turning my purchased movie into DVD goes either. I just want to put the movie onto a DVD disc but my itunes won't even show that I have a blank disc in the drive, I'm not sure what is wrong or how to fix this, any help at all would be much appreciated.

    Hi @anthony7722 ,
    Thank you for your query, I will do my best to help!
    I grasp that you uninstalled the Intel graphic driver and the catalyst control.  You reinstalled the Intel driver and now you can view and hear videos on the Internet but you are unable to set the resolution as high as previously.
    When I checked the specifications for your notebook I see that you have switchable graphics.
    Here are two links that I believe will help.
    Overview of Switchable Graphics or Dual GPUs
    Switchable Graphics on Notebooks Configured with Intel and ATI GPUs
    Here is a link to HP Pavilion dv7-6150eb Entertainment Notebook PC Drivers
    Please try this process.
    1. Download the chipset driver, and both graphic drivers and save them  but do not install them yet
    2, Delete the chipset driver and install the updated one.
    3. restart your notebook
    4.Delete the Intel driver and install the updated one
    5. restart your notebook
    6. Delete the AMD driver and install the updated driver. 
    You should now have a Catalyst Control Center.
    This should now allow you to use the higher graphic card which should support the higher resolution.
    I hope this helped.

  • I have recently bought a Seagate Goflex satellite mobile wireless hard drive. I have converted some of my AVI movies to mp4 and transferred them to the hard drive, but when I play them through my iPad 2 I can hear the sound but not see the movie. Help???

    I have recently bought a Seagate Goflex satellite mobile wireless hardrive , i have converted some of my AVI movies to MP4 and loaded them onto the hard drive, when I try and play them through my I pad2 I can hear the sound of the movie but not see the film, somebody please help, what am I doing wrong as I have spent a lot of time converting these movies to be able to travel with my iPad and watch them. Thank you

    Unfortunately, the drive is pretty much restricted without hacking it. That is, you can't stream its content via standardized protocols like UPnP, SMB, FTP and the like. This makes you won't be able to access its content from any third-party apps otherwise capable of playing back AVI files from UPnP / SMB / FTP / WebDAV etc. sources.
    While this is certainly not a recommendation (I can in no way be held responsible if anything goes wrong): you may want to consider extending the capabilities of the drive by installing the hack: http://www.hackseagatesatellite.com/wordpress/welcome/
    It'll "open" the drive for third-party, AVI-capable multimedia apps like GoodPlayer, It's Playing etc. to directly play the files over the network.

    Hi,
    For online videos, perform a clean install Flash Player may help:

    For offline videos, please download and install the following program, it will play nearly all video formats:

  • Can hear but not see music video on ipad2

    i downloaded an album from itunes which included a music video. I can view the video on my PC and ipod but only hear the music on my ipad - no video picture. Any ideas. Thanks

    Try deleting the problematic file (electing to remove original file if/when prompted) and then re-downloading the file from the iTunes store.
    You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in your iTunes application on your computer.
    You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option at the bottom of the screen of the iTunes app (or video app) on your iOS device.

  • HT4437 I am watching a movie on my iPad in vudu, I have turned the AirPlay on the apple tv and I can hear the movie but cannot see the movie

    I have started watching a movie on my iPad (last gen) on vudu , and started the AirPlay and I can hear it but am not seeing the movie. Where do I go to see it or what am I not doing?

    That is normal. Not all apps are enabled for airplay, this is up to the developer to do.

  • Can import TIFF files but not see or work with images

    I previously used Aperture 2 with no problems. I have scanned a large number (hundreds) of negatives using SilverFast current version 6.6.2r2 using a Plustek OpticFilm 7500i scanner. These files are saved as .tif and are all approx 55 MB in size. I was able to view, work with them with no problems in Aperture 2. I can see and work with them in Photoshop CS4, iPhoto, Preview on my iMac and in any program on my PC. However, I cannot view them or work with them in Aperture 3
    When I updated to Aperture 3, the scanned files were visible in the preview mode but not otherwise viewable. Another image from a different project would appear or the image was corrupted. I have done everything in Aperture Library First Aid. I have deleted all of my projects, including my vault, uninstalled and reinstalled Aperture 3 and have the same problem. The image is viewable in Browser (preview mode) but either no image or another image shows up in Viewer or Inspector mode. When looking at the Metadata info, the file name is correct but a different version name is being assigned from a different project.
    Any ideas are appreciated. I am about to give up on A3 as it has been nothing but problems and unusable since installed/reinstalled.
    By the way, JPEGs from camera, cards, etc have been ok. But one of the major goals I have is to capture my old negatives. Unfortunately, the SilverFast JPEG option is not a viable option as not a viewable file by most programs. I have used the VueScan software but have not been happy with the image quality. Besides, I don't want to have to rescan all of these images.

    I wanted to give an update to my issue. The originals are 16-bit TIFFs using RGB color.
    I spoke with Apple Support. After uninstalling, reinstalling, making a new library, importing, generating previews, regenerating previews, attempting importing after saving as JPEGs, 8-bit TIFFs, 16-bit TIFFs from other programs (all of which are able to import and present the orginal .tif files with no problems, Aperture 2 included), the conclusion was that there must be something wrong with my original .tif files.
    I then brought up the only "solution" that had worked to date. That is importing the original TIFF, exporting it (via Aperture 3) as a TIFF and then importing the new TIFF. This has given me usable images and not just the previews. He said that that looked like the only workaround but that it wasn't a problem because of Aperture itself!?
    As cumbersome as this process will be, it may be worth it. I have trialed Lightroom 3 (which can handle the originals with no problem), and at least so far, I much prefer Aperture's workflow and organizational approach.

  • Captivate 7 - Created a text-to-speech which I can hear in preview but not when I publish?!

    My question says it all. The text-to-screen audio is not showing up in the first slide, but i can hear the rest of them only the first one is missing. What to do?!
    Thank you

    It's not a good idea to place an audio clip  right on the very first slide. 
    You can try moving the audio clip back from the start of the slide by a second or so.  Perhaps it's missing the initialization of the clip because you're trying to play a clip when it hasn't fully loaded as yet.
    I usually have a very short blank slide of a second or so as my initial slide, with a button on it that the user has to press to kick off the presentation.  I have some text on this slide warning the user that the presentation has audio and advising them to put on headphones so as not to disturb co-workers.  When they click the button it jumps them to the first content slide.  This short delay strategy usually eliminates any issues with audio not playing as expected.

  • Can hear the sound but only seeing white screen!!

    I've created a movie using Final Cut Pro,
    and I didn't have a problem watching it in QT in my school computer lab(G5)
    But when I tried to open the file from my powerbook,
    I can only hear the sound but just white blank page.
    This is my thesis project that I need to present it in a few days,
    I have to have to play it using my powerbook.
    I've tried everything I could,
    I downloaded possible components, DIVX, Xvid, CEI's EVO, Perian, etc.,
    I've also purchased Quicktime Pro, hoping that would solve the problem,
    but no it didn't.
    Please help, if anyone knows the answer.

    No doubt you exported it from FCP using a video codec only available to it. Very common error.
    You'll need to export the file again from FCP using a more common codec like H.264.

  • Can hear but not see linked video

    I can see and hear normally on youtube or some direct site. But if I try to veiw a youtube vid linked at some forum I can only hear the video and am unable to see it. I just upgraded to Windows 7 64 bit. The same thing happened on my laptop when I upgraded to Windows 7. I finally fixed it but cant remember where I found the info. Can anyone help with this?

    Try upgrading the Web browser Flash pluggin.
    While Internet Explorer is part of Windows 7, the pluggins that come with it are not the latest version and still need to be upgraded separately.
    You can check which version you have by opening IE, and in the menu bar, choose "Tools" and then "Manage Addons".

  • I can hear but not see my videos.

    Do you have copyright protected media in the project? How exactly are you exporting? What exactly are you exporting? What are the specs of the media?

  • I can hear the music but not the Lyrics - why?

    I hope I am in the right area for help on this and if
    not - sorry. I have a 2GB iPod nano - when playing from
    my list of songs I hear the music just fine for can barely
    hear the lyrics. I have looked all of these web sites and
    have yet to find a user friendly manual or group to help.
    Any advise would be greatly appreciated. I do not understand
    why these products cost what they do yet no information is included
    with the purchase except how to get started with them. Thanks
    for any help that can be given...

    Well, I doubt this is a Nano problem. It most likely has to do with the encoding of the source file or the headphones you are using.
    If you play the same songs on a DIFFERENT player (computer, etc), do you get the same results? How did you encode the music - by importing a CD into iTunes or some other way?

  • I can hear the voice but not picture in youtube, whay might be the problem

    I am using Mozilla Firefox as my browser. I have be trying to view some Youtube videos, ie., "Rumba dance steps" I click on the title no picture comes up, just audio. I have tried other browsers with the same result.

    Answers in this forum have shown different things have worked for different people.
    For some clearing YouTube cookies and the cache solved the problem. For details of how to do that see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Deleting+cookies and https://support.mozilla.com/kb/How+to+clear+the+cache
    Others had to go a step further after deleting YouTube cookies and block YouTube from saving cookies. In the Tools menu select Options to open the Options window. Go to the Privacy panel and make sure it is set to "Use custom setting for history". Click the Exceptions button, type in http://www.youtube.com and click on Block
    Another option is to disable hardware acceleration for Flash. To do that right-click on a Flash video, select Settings, go to the first tab of the settings for the option to enable/disable hardware acceleration for Flash. This is something recommended by YouTube for those having problems - http://www.google.com/support/youtube/bin/answer.py?&answer=1209379
