I can't see the other party - They can see me.

This is a problem that just developed. I always video chat with my friend, both of us using iChat, but we discovered sometimes his internet connection freezes the video. Recently, all I would get is audio from him - I can't see his video. But he can see and hear me. So I was blaming him for this, because when I video chat with my other friend who is just using a webcam with AIM on her PC, it would work fine.
But then today, my friend just bought a MacBook and I tried iChat video with her and had the same problem as with my other friend - Audio works fine, she can see me, but I can't see her! So now I think it's my problem. I can see myself on my screen, just not the other party.
Any ideas? I don't understand why it works with AIM and not any of my other iChat friends. Or maybe it isn't my problem, but I still don't know what could be going on with theirs. My video works in everything else, too. Heeellllpp

Hi
First have you both set the Quicktime streaming setting, goto sys prefs/quicktime/streaming/streaming speed, set to 1.5mbps
In ichats prefs click on video and change bandwidth limit to none.
Restart iChat.

  • Sometimes when I am trying to make a call, I can't hear the connecting tone in my phone, but the other party's phone is ringing. It happens every now and then (not everytime), I wonder if you guys face this problem too.

    sometimes when I try to make a call to someone, I can't hear the connecting tone im my phone, but the other party's phone is ringing.  I have to end the call again and make another attempt.  The connecting tone could only be heard after I made a redial.  I have checked with many friends on different telcos, and they told me they also face this kind of problems.  Can this problem be rectified?

    I went back to the service provider twice and they reactivated my phone the first time and the second time the tech rebooted the phone and told me how to tell if it was on my end or the other person's end.  Of course it didn't happen at the store, but right after I left I called a family member (on my plan) and the phone did this problem. It can be frustrating.  The cell towers are strong in my area, so it can't be that.  My next stop is to an Apple store but I am waiting until after Christmas.  I can't deal with the shopping crowds!!!

    Morning Lupoipia,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    If you can't be heard by someone who is calling, take a look at this article:

  • Video Conferencing Program cannot see myself but the other party

    I have made a video confrencing a program. I am now able to see the other party doing the conferencing but I cannot see myself on my screen. Can anyone help?

    If you meets that any other one can't see themself just like you.
    I think It's becaouse you use the datasourse for your transfer to another.
    you shold find of the sample of JMF solution as the clone datasourse sample.
    and you can play your own capture and transfer at the same time.
    or if just you can't see yourself and other party cannot see you. You should check the hardware by JMF Registry.
    Hope this help...

  • Why can't i hear the other party on my iphone?

    I managed to solve this problem.
    Here's how I arrived at the solution:
    This morning I could hear the other party fine.
    This afternoon I could not hear, except by using the speakerphone.
    How could this be?
    What had I done "wrong" between the morning and afternoon?
    It turns out, I had downloaded a new app (wi-drive) and updated another (Google Translate)
    So I just deleted those two apps.
    Lo and behold, I could hear the other person.
    My advice: if you can't hear the other person, just try deleting the last apps you downloaded before the problem started.
    It might just work, as it did for me.
    good luck

    Typically this happens when a corporate Exchange account is added to the iPhone and the corporation requires a passcode to protect access to their system.

  • No sound for incoming calls but it works using speaker and earpiece. I can't hear anything but the other party can hear me clearly. I was told it's hardware problem. Would anyone please help? Thanks

    This is an annoying problem for many people. Most likely your dock connector (on the bottom where you plug in your phone) is dirty or screwed up and is probably just coincidence that it happened after you updated. Some people have had success cleaning the port with a dry clean tooth brush. There is a long discussion going on at the thread I linked below. Good luck...

  • Alert on a blocked screen but without identificating the other party?

    Hi!
    Anybody knows how to get an alert for an sms received or a missed callon a blocked screen, but without it identificating the other party?
    Other phones had a light to warn you of an unseen event, but since the iPhone has no alerts like that, it means either you deactivate the alerts altogether (and then you have to go to your phone every 5 minutes, unlock the display, to see if there's any ocurrence in the main display) and it's uncomfortable, or else, anybody picking up the phone, even on a blocked screen, will be able to see who called or texted you!
    Some help, please?
    Thank you so much

    There are! Lucky me, got lots of interest from people around!
    And you're probably the one person who'd not be tempted, even by an automated reaction to the sound, to look to the screen of whatever phone beeped, vibrated, lighted, moved, whatever!
    My contacts don't have to hide from others using alias, they just don't have to be shown...
    I guess it's a difficult thing to understand nowadays, where facebooks, twitters and similar, make you know about somebody's day from his/her first yawn and morning stretch .
    iPhone aims to take the best of all systems, but there are such simple and 'given thing' features with the other phones that it's funny why it can't be done with the iPhone; it'ss an evolution, meaning you take the best, leave the rest and make better.
    Thanks for your reply anyway, although it didn't help the quest!

  • What should I do? 4s got stolen,the other party turn off device.

    Iphone 4s got stolen last night.
    The other party turn off the device speedy.
    Used my ipad mini "find my iPhone" app locked iphone and try to trace the location.
    Unfortunately the device turn off all day long.
    Is there any other way able to trace back my iPhone?
    There's too much important information in my device since is used to be my work asset.
    Wonder I can do anything with my IMEI or Serial No ?
    Appreciate for the helpful advice!

    Hi,
    My phone was stolen 3 weeks back and I too had the same issue. Find my iphone was turned off, i don't know how.. I put the phone in lost mode and then erase mode. I brought a new iphone 4s and after 2 weeks, suddenly all of my contacts got disappeared from my iCloud, Mac Contacts, iPhone without any reason. I tried to do a restore iPhone and the contacts came back but disappeared in fraction of second. Used Backup from old data and the same had happened.
    Out of no reason I checked with photos and suddenly, I could get the photo of the guy who stole my iphone. I immediately synced that pic to iPhotos. that displayed all info(date, time, camera used, flash on) except the location services.
    I logged into iCloud.com to see if the phone got erase. But it still showed erase mode activated. Phone will erase the data once it is connected to internet. But without connection to internet, that guys pics would not have come. I guess there is something about Activation lock to be still active and deactivate which does not work properly.
    Any one also had the same issue, please assist.

  • How do I test a scenario without getting the other party involved

    Hi,
    How do I test a scenario without getting the other party involved?
    I have created a scenario to receive information from an external system (Remedy), processing through a SoapAdapter into SAP to create a service order. How can I send a sample of information in order for me to test my scenario without asking the Remedy people to transmit data all the time?
    Thanks in advance,
    Leanne

  • TS3367 how to silence facetime when i am making a video call? it seem to have a min volume which i cannot mute the other party.

    only the other party mute the video then there is no sound. is there a way to mute the volume at my end.

    Did you reset your phone? First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider should one appear until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

  • IPhone 6. While talking on the phone, email interferes w/audio for other party. Email message pops-up on the screen and the other party cannot hear me until I click "close" & remove the message. Ideas??

    Alex, thanks for the reply but it did not answer my question. I only want to turn off notifications & interruptions while I am on the phone. For this desired result, the only way the Do Not Disturb feature would help is if I manually turned it on before each phone conversation. Since my phone rings at random times, this is not possible. Basically, I just want to "opt out" of call-waiting. When I had a landline I never had call waiting. I don't want to be interrupted. But beyond that, even if I am being interrupted why are these notifications preventing the other party from hearing my voice?
