Ichat audio video options for google accts

Hi,
1. I use ichat with my google account. I was wondering if I could do an audio and video chat from this account?
2. Also, if I disable my camera (in format tab), and press on the audio option beside my picture in the chat list, why is isight cam getting turned on? Shdn't it be disabled and only microphone be turned on?

Hi,
Re 1)
If you are your Buddy are using iChat with any Jabber ID including Googletalk then you can do Video and Audio Only chats. This is because no matter which Buddy List you start from iChat uses the same A/V Protocols.
What you can not do is Video chats to the PC App for GoogleTalk or to any Buddy logged in on the WebMail Google pages, both of which can also do A/V chats but uses different protocols.
Re 2)
The Video Camera is turned Off in the Video Menu at Camera Enabled and toggling it so no tick shows.
Yes when it is turned Off (Deselected) the icon next to your name should show the Audio icon (Telephone handset).
The camera will however get turned on for the Preview even if the camera is turned Off. A preview of the Audio would not "Show" anything as iChat does not allow play-through of the live sound.

  • Dynex Component Audio/Video cable for iPhone doesn't just play music?

    I just purchased Dynex Component Audio/Video cable for iPhone and it plays video, but not music. It only works when I'm using Neflix or the video component of the iPod. How do I get it to just play my music?
    If I run the iPod music and open Netflix the music will play, but that is just a roundabout way of getting it to play audio and is silly. How do I get it to just play audio?

    don't think so but the component rely on normal analog signals using RCA connectors
    you can find tons of 3.5mm minijack connector and 2 rca connectors in the other cables
    they are dirt cheap and you can even make them yourself

  • Ichat audio/video

    I know many people have posted their issues with ichat's audio/video, but I haven't found any solutions that would help me. My problems are, every time I open ichat's preferences and try to click on 'Audio/Video' ichat crashes, you can probably guess that I also can't video chat with any of my peers, nor can I screen share. A couple of months ago I was able to, I'm not sure if there is any relation, but ever since I set up time machine through my AirPort Extreme Base Station, thats when I noticed problems. If any additional info is need to help solve my problem please let me know. Thanks for the help.

    Hi,
    Log on to the Airport base Station using Airport Utility (Application/Utilities).
    Use the Manual Configure button.
    Go to the Internet iCon/pane.
    Select NAT tab
    Enable Port Mapping Protocol (You do not have to set ports)
    From the first part of the Internet Pane make sure any DNS server listed are copied or show in System Preferences > Network > Advanced Button > TCP/IP tab.
    In that same place turn Off IPv6.
    Post back with results as we may have to get you to delete a .plist to get ichat to be stable.

  • AE CS3 crashes when setting audio format options for MP3

    I've just submitted a bug report, but I wanted to see if anyone experienced this or have any suggestion.
    Basically, when I add an MP3 audio to a comp, and trying to make a movie (exporting it as uncompressed QT), when I press the Format Options button under the audio options output, AE will crash.
    Here are the steps.
    1. Add an MP3 file to the project.
    2. Create a comp with only the MP3 file in it. You can also create other objects/elements in the comp as long as there's an MP3 audio file.
    3. Add the comp to the render queue (aka Make Movie)
    4. Under the Output Module settings, select "QuickTime video" for output. The "Format Options" for the QT movie is not important at this point, but you can select uncompressed animation.
    5. Check "Audio Output". Click the "Format Options" button under the Audio Output.
    6. After Effects CS3 will vanish from the screen without saying "Hi, how are you!"
    WinXP SP3 32bit / 4G
    After Effects CS3 8.0.2.27 dva:2.0.0.127845
    Anyone getting this and knows why is this happening? Tried different MP3 files with the same results.
    Thanks

    Thanks for reporting this. Adding repro steps is always very valuable (though I suspect that step 5 is all it takes!)
    I think the nature of the source MP3 file(s) is probably irrelevant, since (if I understand correctly) the crash occurs when pressing the Audio Format Options button in the Output Module, not when previewing or rendering.
    There was a similar report from another user. It looks like a problem with Quicktime on Windows, or at leasr some flavors of Windows.
    Of course no combination of settings should make the application crash, but the odd thing that also struck me in the earlier report is... that by specifying MP3 for audio encoding on an Lossless (ie, Animation-encoded) Quicktime file, you're saving about 0.05 per cent in the overall file size/data rate To put it in perspective, you're making the audio go from 175 Kbytes per second to 30 Kbytes/s, on a file that easily can have a data rate of 20 Megabytes per second!

  • IChat audio/video btwn DSL-DSL and Cable-DSL

    Let me draw this out to illustrate the nonsensicle situation.
    party A: has cable modem with an Airport (DHCP) (running Tiger)
    party B: has DSL with Airport (DHCP) (Tiger)
    party C: has DSL with Airport (static and redistributed as DHCP) (Tiger)
    A and B can chat/audio/video
    A and C can also do all of this.
    B and C: doesn't work at all exept for text. We both get those pesky messages about 'user is not responding' etc. The only thing I can think of is that iSight/iChat doesn't work between people who both have a DSL connection. We also tried to use the same powerbook (normally located at party C) at the location of party A and works with party B. In other words, the powerbook isn't the problem. Both party B and C can establish a connection with a public "test buddy" (appleeu3test01, appleeu3test02, appleeu3test03).
    I am asking any genius out there what the heck is going on?????? If it's true that DSL/DSL connections can not communicate with each other, what is the point of having this overpriced webcam??
    thanks in advance......

  • Sharepoint 2013 Audio/Video (optional) chat

    Hi guys.
    I need an audio/video chat tool that can be integrated with Sharepoint 2013.
    The video part is optional, but the audio part is mandatory.
    Does anyone have any kind of reference for any existent tool? Or if not, some tips how I can develop easy..ish a tool that does what I need?
    Any help would be gladly appreciated!
    Thanks in advance, 
    Calin.

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to add a chat tool in SharePoint 2013.
    I think the Lync server integration with SharePoint server would be a better choice.
    When an individual is online, you can click the online status indicator to send an instant message.
    Also it provides the ability to send and receive e-mail, call the person, and to display free/busy information.

    What’s more, there are some third-party tools, such as Jabborate for SharePoint

  • Audio/video input for quicksilver

    Hi, does anyone have recommendations on the best/inexpensive (under $500 if possible) way for me to import audio and video onto a machine that has no audio input jack? I want to be able to capture stuff via rca audio and rca video or rca audio and s-video cables for use with quicktime, imovie and idvd. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
    Thank You
    S

    Datavideo's DAC-200 converts analog A/V to digital and connects to the computer via FireWire. I've seen it for under $200, so you can compare prices for the best deal.

  • Is there a good USB audio/video grabber for a Macbook?

    I need to be able to take screenshots from my Xbox 360. My PC friends use a USB audio/video grabber that the hook up to their TVs, however, there aren't that many for Mac. I was hopping someone here knows of a good product that is compatible with Macs. I have an early 2009 unibody Macbook. Thanks for your help.

    I'm confused.
    Doesn't your mini already have a wireless card? It's part of the standard config, so I don't understand why you're not using that.
    I've yet to find a workable USB wireless ethernet device. I'm sure they exist but I've yet to encounter one.

  • No "connect to audio device" option for E71

    I've been trying to connect my nokia BH-102 headset to my E71, but when I go to the Paired Devices tab and press the option button, the "connect to audio device" option is not there. The only three options that appear are "new paired device", "help", and "exit." I've searched for soltions for this online, but thus have not come across any mention of this problem. Am I missing a firmware update of some kind or is this an entirely unique problem?

    Solved my question. Somehow 20 minutes of searching the forums didn't turn up the solution but when I posted my question the box on the right had 3 posts with a similar question and solution. Sorry this has become a repeat post.
    I would delete it but can't.
    Here is a link to the solution that worked for me. I used ONYX.

  • Minimum NAT/firewall settings for iChat audio/video to work?

    I've read the docs on teh ports and firewall issues but it is still unclear to me.
    I have
    1. An OS X Server 10.5.2 connected to the internet behind a router with NAT and running a firewall. NAT and of course the firewall are under my control. I've opened up the iChat Server SSL port (5223) on the OS X Server's firewall. I've put a 5223 redirect on the router to my OS X Server system. iChat is configured on this system and several users have permission to use iChat. The NAT table on the router is restricted, only ports I want to serve (e.g. 25, 22, 5223) are redirected to my server, the rest of incoming connections are blocked at the NAT (safer that way).
    2. An OS X 10.5.2 client behind a NAT setup in another part of the world.
    3. An OS X 10.5.2 client behind a NAT setup in another part of the world.
    Both clients I can manage the firewall of the client, but I cannot manage anything on the router.
    WIth this set up on both systems users have successfully connected to my OS X Server's iChat server using SSL. Text chat works. So I can assume that iChat Server works, that the permissions and login is OK, that SSL is OK.
    But neither audio not video works. I cannot establish an audio or video connection because the connection fails. The iChat connection log says
    2008-02-21 20:49:53 +0100: user@fqdn2: Error -8 (Did not receive a response from 0x18c09b30.)
    there is nothing in appfirewall.log on the client.
    The clients should work OK behind NAT. But my guess is that the server needs more than what I am giving it. However, I have been unable to find out what a minimum set of NAT redirects and firewall ports open is that would enable me to let these two clients do voice chat via my OS X Server at that other location.
    Any tip for information on how to set up the server side minimally and safely would be welcome.
    Thanks,
    G

    Hi,
    Several things.
    1) iChat server does in fact use an SSL Login on port 5223 (Tiger does not do the SSL but is still on the same port.
    This does not allow the other data on port 5220 that the Jabber side of iChat needs.
    Apple Doc http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93208 see item 6
    2) It also ignores the fact iChat uses a completely different set of ports to the A/V Chat
    So an AIM Login is port 5190 in those mentioned in item 6
    port 5297, 5298 and 5353 are the Bonjour ones.
    That leaves 5060, 5678, 16384-16403 for A/V chats in Tiger
    5678, 16393-16402 in Leopard
    The pics and Table are for Panther and Tiger. See the Table at the bottom http://www.ralphjohns.co.uk/pantherports.html
    The changes from Tiger to Leopard in the port Usage for A/V chats is documented here http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=306688 (Hence the none use of port 5060 and the smaller groupfor the actual A/V Chats)
    3) Check out the two server forums for Leopard > iChat Server http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=1235
    And Tiger/OS X Server 10.4 > Collaboration Services http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=700 as they maybe other issues that I am not aware of on the Server side.
    So Leopard Jabber/iChat Server needs 14 ports
    5220, 5222, 5223 on TCP and
    5678, 16393-16402 on UDP
    Tiger needs the A/V ports to include 5060 and extend the group to 20 ports (16384-16403)
    I hope this helps.

  • IChat audio/video not working in a particular scenario.

    Three differnt people with 3 different setups trying to do an audio chat:
    John: MacBook(2.0Ghz, Leopard), connected via AirportExpress, using an AIM account
    Anne: MacBook(2.4Ghz, Snow Leopard), connected via a 3G USB Modem, using a .Mac account
    Mark: iMac(2.0 Ghz C2D, Tiger), connected via AirportExtreme, using an AIM account
    John can voice and video chat with both Anne and Mark, no problem. But Anne and Mark constantly get the Error-8. (But strangely Anne and Mark can share files via iChat just fine.)
    If it was a firewall issue, wouldn't one of the three be excluded from any voice/video chat completely ? Im starting to wonder if it's the NAT/PMP issue as well, cause it doesn't seem to be an issue when connecting to the other person.
    I have scoured the web looking for a solution but to no avail.
    This is a snippet from the error log:
    Video Conference Error Report:
    11.657163 @/SourceCache/VideoConference/VideoConference-415.13/SIP/SIP.c:2917 type=4 (900A0015/0)

    Hi,
    Re 1)
    iChat makes a Connection that is Peer-to-Peer when doing Audio Only and Video chats.
    To do this it uses a method of going through NAT Devices (Network Address Translation)
    NAT Is not a standard. It is a vague description of things that happen in most domestic routers to share one IP between many computers and other devices.
    There are about 4 main ways of doing it See Here
    Realistically iChat can be Fussy as to how NAT is done. (Some methods don't seem to "Play Nicely" together)
    So you can get what looks like intermittent symptoms.
    Re 2)
    I am on a Leopard booted computer and my AIRPORT UTILITY is version 5.5.1
    I don't have an Airport Base Station so posting a pic is useless at this point.
    The older firmware I am thing of popped up a very small Window asking for the Password before giving you the main window.
    The version I have lists the different Base Station it can find down the left with a manual Configure Button and a first time set up button on the right (I forget the name).
    It sounds like he has something closer to my version.
    The Port Mapping Protocol may be "Greyed Out" if the Device is NOT "Sharing an IP" on the main Internet icon/pane. (On the current version I believe the NAT tab disappears if this is the case).
    Re the Zyxel.
    Not particularly iChat Friendly as a range.
    There is something about them logging in to AIM on Port 5190 on the TCP Protocol and iChat send files on port 5190 on UDP that these modems don't like (Dual use of the same port)
    This may be related to Port Forwarding.
    With setting up Port Forwarding you point one port to one IP (Computer) (multiple ports one at a time for iChat)
    This means that other computers cannot then use those ports (ports Cannot Be Forwarded Twice).
    Not all devices specify Protocols to do this but the Zyxels do seem have an issue with and for some reason this crosses over into A/V Chats.
    SOLUTION
    In iChat go to the Preferences > Accounts > Server Settings tab when Logged out.
    Change th Login port from 5190 to 443
    This port is memorable as it is below the 1024 threshold in most domestic devices (all ports below this are Open to everyone) and is used by Web Browser for Secure sites (such as Banks and the Sign-in here to post).
    It is also used by some mail servers.
    The Modem most likely routes.
    This means two things.
    1) the Airport Base Station should NOT - Set it to Bridge (Off) Mode in the drop down at the bottom of the Internet pane (Port Mapping will not be needed then either).
    2) the ports need to be allowed in the Modem.
    See this page
    This is the instructions to access a P660R-HW T1v2 I am not sure what the difference the HW means
    Do the pics look like his set up pages ?
    Most likely he will have to Look for UPnP - Try the Advanced menu item.
    He will not need the Port Forwarding if he Enables UPnP.
    He may have set up pages that look more like these pics EQ 660 R
    Here you can plainly see UPnP in the middle menu 9At the bottom)
    Summary
    Change port for Login in iChat
    Set Base Station to Not Route.
    Enable UPnP in Zyxel modem. (DO NOT use Port Forwarding despite the Links (they are just for the Pics and Instruction on how to access the device).
    If he cannot find UPnP come back to us.
    He may have to set Port Forwarding if it is only one computer.
    As he is on Tiger he cannot do iChat Screen Sharing so that will not be so much of an issue.

    Hi,
    Mark should go to the set up pages of the Airport he has and in the Internet icon/Pane > NAT tab he should have Port Mapping Protocol turned On.
    If he has the much older firmware I will need to see pics (again) to remind me.
    The other potential issues is what modems are John and Mark using in front of the Airport base Stations ?
    Are they routing modems ? Cable modems tend not to route and DSL one do.
    They should not have two DHCP servers on their LAN's ( A Base station set to "Share An IP" will be doing DHCP and a routing modem will most likely be doing it by default)

  • IChat - audio, video and screen sharing no longer work

    I use ichat video and screen share to visit with family and assist with computer work. Every since .mac changed to .me, I am no longer able to do anything but text message...... I have changed ports, changed from .mac to .me logins. But still not luck. Nothing has changed with routers. Working with cable modems and DSL..... Looking for help.

    Hi Bob,
    The Screen Sharing through iChat and the Audio only and Video chats do not require the AIM servers other than to say your Buddy is On-line.
    There is feedback from the AIM servers to say what capabilities your Buddies have.
    You can see these if you look at their Info card (Click on a Buddy and use Apple key and i together)
    Now if the Buddy does not show the capability then it may well be the AIM server.
    But..... IF you have turned off (or it has become turned Off) either of the Camera Enabled or Microphone Enabled items in the Video menu (from menu bar) then you will not have the capability and will therefore not see other people.
    One clue will be in the Buddies Menu about whether you can do One Way Video or Audio chats. If it says you can it is the AIM end.

  • IChat Audio/Video Delay

    Hey, I recently bought a Macbook Pro and some of my friends have added me on iChat which I thought would be amazing. I've been left disappointed. The first video conversation I had was fine and seemed to work, but ever since there has been a severe delay with it. Audio in particular. When talking there can be up to a 30 second delay for the person I am chatting with to get the message leaving this feature unusable.
    Any ideas what could be causing this? Also their video seems really pixelated. Is that normal? Look forward to some help with this problem! Any information could help!
    Thanks in advance,
    Stefan

    I have been experiencing a similar problem since upgrading to 10.5. The video is about 5 - 20 seconds behind the audio. The audio is in real time. I've tried the above and checked activity monitor and there is nothing unusual clogging up the CPU. I have an iBook running 10.5 and there is no trouble with it.

Maybe you are looking for
