IChat connection difficulties, can't connect with IM, audio or video.

OK guys - i started off on iChat having problems logging in with my .mac address, and i found an answer on here that suggested typing it in as an AIM login and that worked ok.
THEN, i could send IM type chats, but it wouldn't connect to video or audio claiming that there was an error, or it never got an answer from the other party.
I ended up removing iChat from the computer and reinstalling it from the Discs that came with the computer (OK, probably a PC habit.. i'm sorry!), and created the account again, only now it won't even connect to an IM chat with someone from my buddy list, as well as the audio/video connection problems too.
The person i'm trying to contact has it up and running fine as they tested with other people. What on earth have i done wrong?

When you reinstalled iChat did you run the 10.5.4combo to bring iChat back up to date.

thank you roger. i have attempted to connect my mbp now 3 times (all different ways with different cables purchased) but unfortunately no success. i understand that with me having an older mbp it can be a challenge. i have found this page http://www.wikihow.com/Connect-a-Macbook-to-a-TV but with my unsuccessful history, i have become skeptical. i will try your suggestion and let you know. thank you again.

How can I get netflix streaming audio, the video is fine but the audio coming through is from the TV(dish)

how can I get netflix streaming audio, the video is fine but the audio coming through is from the TV(dish)

It's exactly as I stated. Whenever I try to drag these kinds of loops (ESX24 / software instrument loops? the ones marked in green with the white music note next to them) from the loop browser into the timeline a message comes up saying Audio Not Found for that loop. And a new track is created automatically when loops are dragged into the timeline, so I'm not creating some other random / synth instrument track so I'm not sure what the deal is... But perhaps I'll try creating a software instrument track first and then drag the loop into that track and see what happens - maybe there's something with the default settings that automatically creates audio tracks whenever loops are imported?

Google app can't play all the audio and video on this page, any suggestions?

New Lenovo Yoga laptop with W8.1. I have downloaded the google app, and when I search for something and the go to open a video, the flash player doesn't work and I get a message across the top of the window saying "google app can't play all the audio and video on this page"
Does anyone have a fix? i can only find a fix for google chrome, not their app.
Thanks

The "app" from the windows app store called "google search" http://apps.microsoft.com/windows/en-gb/app/308dc145-6851-487d-b83b-1223a3b52dc2
It isn't specific to search video or anything else, you just type in the search and it finds the answers, but it isn't done via chrome. When the result includes a video or audio and I click on the link to that page, the app kicks up that the flash player needs downloading. I can't work out how to do it

Why does say"To play the selected item, you must install a later version of the Adobe Flash Player. To download the Adobe Flash Player, go to the Adobe website." when I have the latest Version of it and it's just Black screen with no audio and Video?

ICHAT connecting with NetMeeting

Iam a new member trying to learn more about ichat capabilities in syncing/connecting with a PC... Iam
at a medium level of computer knowledge and may be getting in over my head !!! I have a G5(10.4.10)
and a new imac pro that just came out !!!
Is it possible for me to have ichat work/connect/sync up with NetMeeting ???

Hi,
Net Meeting is a little dated, and you'd have to run windows, in that case I'd use AIM 6.5 above Net Meeting.
If you want to use full motion video on your mac I'd use iChat, it is already installed. You can use it for instant messaging with any one running AIM 6.5 or iChat AV 3.1.8.
Here are some links that get you going,
http://www.apple.com/support/mac101/work/
http://www.apple.com/support/quickassist/
http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/windows/
If advanced configuration of the firewall is needed, set it to allow incoming and outgoing connections for TCP+UDP on ports 443 and 5190.
Enjoy!

Problems with exporting audio music video to QuickTime

In iMovie I made this audio music video, combining music with photos and audiovisual clips. In iMovie I muted the original sounds of the photos and audiovisual clips. Yet after exporting the audio music video to QuickTime, parts of the original soundtrack can still be heard, some of it in the right place, some are scattered out at random. I have exported audio music videos from iMovie to QuickTime before - consisting of music and audiovisual clips - and then I had not theses issues. Can somebody explain to me what I can do to mute the original soundtrack in QuickTime? I don't want this original soundtrack to spoil the audio music video when I upload it to Youtube.
Thanks in advance

There is a bug in iMovie 09 that produces weird audio artifacts when you use speed changes (fast or slow motion) that do not conform to the preset tick marks of 25%, 50%, 100%, 200%, 400%, 800%, etc.
If you are using custom speed percentages like 58% or 139%, change them to one of the presets, and that will fix the sound.

SX10 - calling with no audio and video

Hi
I have problem with SX10.
SX10 with load TC7.3.1.8a4696f. The device is registered at CUCM 10.5.2 with no problems.
And the probblem is:
I cant make calls from ipPhones (SCCP) to SX10 but i can call ipPhone from SX10 (!). Phone is ringing but no audio and video stream is starting.
I also have SX20 but in this case everything is working fine.
Where i should start toubleshooting?

Yes, Actually the problem was firewall rule!
The main problem was that these two endpoints didnt saw each other. ( Ping - Packet loss )
Signalling was working fine because both of them got ping CUCM but not each other :)
So problem is solved.
Thanks.

Problems with syncing audio to video using merge tool

I ran into a new problem that I have not had.
The project was shot on 35mm and transfered to 1080p 23.97 10bit uncompressed. I took the file in to FCP and through media manager maid a copy of it to ProRes 422 HQ 1080p.
The Problem is when I broke the clips up for each scene and take (like I usually do) and set my IN on the clapper and my IN on the audio file for that take at the sound of the clap and go to merge clips on IN points. The clip merges but not at the points I told it to. The audio gets shifted down or up by a good few seconds.
Why is this happening?
When I take the footage with the same IN mark and put it on the time line and the Audio with he same IN mark and put it on the time line it matches up. But not when I merge clips. I cant think what Im doing wrong if anything since this is the first time I have had this issue.
Thanks to all!

I don't think FCE has a multi-cam function like FCP does ... so here's another way to do it (if it does have a multi-cam function, disregard this).
• Place the clip you'll likely to use most on track V1 (along with the audio on A1, A2).
• Place the other clip on V2 (audio on A3, A4).
• Double click one of the clips to load it into the Viewer window.
• Play the clip until you find a good sync point (either visually or audibly).
• Place a marker at that point.
• Double-click the other clip to load it into the Viewer and find the same point on that clip.
• Place a marker at that point.
• In the Timeline, line up the two clip markers - it will help to zoom in to make sure they're perfectly lined up.
• Once you have the two clips in sync, double-click the upper clip to load it back into the Viewer.
• Click on the Motion tab and use the Scale and Center controls to get a picture-in-picture effect.
• Back in the Timeline, unlink the audio and video from both clips.
• You can delete the audio clip that you don't want to use.
• In the Timeline, as you're going through the footage, cut out the parts of the clip on V2 that you don't want using the Blade tool.
• When you're done, select all clips remaining on V2, right-click on one and select "Remove Attributes" then choose Basic Motion (all clips will go back to full size and centered).
• If you want to consolidate all of V2's clips with the clip on V1, select all of V2's clips, then holding down the Shift key, drag the clips down to V1.
• At this point, you can use the Roll tool to tweak your edit points if needed.
• Add transitions as desired.
This will only work if both clips are continuous (camera did NOT start and stop during the take).

IChat Connection Made - Intermittent Audio Static

Hello,
With Ralph Jone's help, finally got my iChat working properly. I had a couple of successful chats with Ralph, but when I try to have a chat with my Aunt in France, we can connect, see and hear and then all of a sudden, the audio turns into horrific static. This will continue for a few moments, but then clear up, then occur again. Very annoying.
I have a G4 Quicksilver running 10.4.10 (hoping for a new computer and Leopard). I have a Linksys router and access port combo. I have Comcast Highspeed. I have no idea what type of connection my aunt has. She is in France. She is on a PC with the latest version of AIM and running XP, I believe. I have double checked that my Quicktime prefs, sound prefs, microphone prefs are all correct. The webcam is a Labtec Webcam Pro using iChatUSBCam and Macam. I just installed Powerboost as well. When I do the appleu tests, they are all fine, but I will test again and let them run longer to see if trouble reoccurs.
My aunt is almost 80 and not terribly computer literate, so a simple solution would be helpful!!
Thanks
Jennifer

Hi,
Several things.
Which version of AIM is she using ?
Also can one of you try a head set ?
If you do and the static continues that it may be that you Aunt needs to turn her speakers away from the Mic and possibly turn them down.
If hearing is a problem for her getting a head set maybe the way to go.
In System Preferences > Sound > Input tab is the volume of your outgoing audio (despite it being labelled as the System Input level)
dropping that just slightly may help.
If she turns out to have AIM 5.9 we may be able to get her to adjust the Video quality which will have an impact on the Audio as well.

Zens - connectivity with car audio systems

Hi - got an odd, obscure question. I have an Audi fitted with the so-called 'Audi Music Interface'. As well as the ubiquitous Ipod connector, this one comes with a mini-USB port to which I have successfully connected a Zen X-fi 32GB and a 2GB Samsung YP-K3. However, when I try to connect my 4GB Zen V+ I get an 'unable to connect' message from the Audi.
The music on all three is from the same source (same file formats etc) so what can be thedifference between the two Zens that prevents one of them from being recognised by the unit's I have usedWMP to transfer the music to all threeMP3 players.
Another oddity - while I'm at it - is that the X-fi doesn't like being undocked from the car and will frequently lock up and require a reset. It will resume working without a problem if left connected iin place.
Any ideas anyone
Paul

Yeh - tried that. Trouble is, it doesn't last. I frequently have to reset the device and, every two or three days, it hangs so completely, I can only get it going again by going into Recovery mode and doing a 'clean up'. This works but not for long.
I've also noticed that the Zen doesn't appear to charge while connected th the car system. The little green battery indicator suggests that it is charging but after 48 hours in the car, the Zen won't start and has to be recharged via my computer
If that player is under warranty I would return it. If not use another method to connect to the car stereo. Unfortunately I don't know enough about the system you have to advise on that. As for the charging I have a USB port on mine & the same thing occurs as it appears to dock & charge except it does not. That I would say has to do with the player itself not that it is a defect of the player. For instance all wall chargers in particular the ones you can plug a usb cord into will not charge a Creative player. I know because I have tried with several different players I own. The fact your stereo is Ipod ready tells me that very well may be why it does not perform as you would expect since the 2 devices are very diiferent.Wish I could be of more help.

Logic Studio won't connect with M-Audio O2 USB keyboard

Recently had to reinstall Logic Studio 8 on my G5 Quad following a drive failure. Now, Logic no longer uses my M-Audio O2 USB as a MIDI in or out like it did before. The O2 works fine on my MacBook in Garageband. The G5 Quad sees the O2 plugged in according to System Profiler. Plus, whenever I plug/unplug the O2, I can see that Logic resets the MIDI drivers. What gives? And where do I go in OSX or Logic to manage this?

Hmm, if you've bought it fair 'n square Apple are always willing to replace a faulty disk, as far as I've heard. Ninety days or two years, doesn't matter. I don't know if that is 'official' policy though - maybe it depends on who you get to speak to... However, the 'genius' that installed your stuff cannot have used a corrupted disk... so either he used his own disks, OR the disk is not corrupted to begin with. But what you describe sure sounds like it...
So, bottom line, call Apple again, and ask for a replacement disk.
Hope it works,
regards, Erik.

Can someone help with an audio problem that is driving me crackers!!

hi, i have seen lots of comments about windows sound issues, my problem is it sometimes says i have speakers installed and they are working (but have no sound) and other times (when i turn it back on) it says no device installed/not plugged in etc.... now i know from reading previous posts this is an issue for loads of people, my question really is, can i use speakers that connect via usb rather than 3.5mm jack, and does anyone think this will make any difference? my dad has suggested fitting a new sound card? will that sort it out, have only had my pc for a week, and it is under warranty but i have to pay the postage to return it (not bought from a shop directly if that makes sense) i have to date spent about 8 hours googling, reinstalling drivers, everything you could possibly think off and nothing has changed!!!! speakers work as have tried them in my DS and the front headphone jack is not working either i have installed windows updates and read somewhere that might be an issue? is there any point doing a system restore and if so how will that work, and will the photos i have uploaded still be saved if i restore to apoint before they were put on? sorry but im not very technically minded!!
please help me as im slowly going grey!!! i have a pavilion p6203

I know you must be very frustrated with the sound issue. It sounds like you've done a lot of research and leg work to figure out what the problem is with little success. I would not restore the system unless you have backup copies of anything you downloaded (just in case) As I read....you've uninstalled drivers and rebooted to reinstall and downloaded updates to Win 7 Have you reviewed all the suggestions at the attached Link? I can't explain why the headphones connection does not work but maybe go look at your main sound setup in control panel to see if there is an issue with the settings there? Look to see if there is something going on inside the "Hardware and Sound" icon. These are guesses as I can't understand as well why you've not hit on the appropriate solution. Let me know when you solve this issue what it was. Regards
