IChat locks up when I try to view video

I just purchased a new Logitech Pro 900 for Christmas and I plugged it in and turned on iChat. The first time I clicked on the video icon, the camera came on and worked great. Now whenever I open iChat an try to view the video, it locks up and I have to restart my computer. I have not yet even tried to video chat with anyone else. The camera turns on, but iChat just locks up. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,
In Quicktime Pro for instance the Preferences > Recording allow you to set Device Native, Better and Good.
Some of this allow you to reduce the default pic size and therefore the framerate your Mac can produce them at.
Anything such as Pixels (pic size) or framerate or both.

    When I take a photo with the iPone 4s camera, a thumbnail dutifully appears at the bottom of the screen. If I select it to view the photo, iPhoto locks up...sometimes for minutes!

    my Nano locks up when I try to sync it.  My touch, and IPAD sync great.   I have reset my nano and no better??

    Do you have any better luck with that if you update to iTunes 10.6.1.7?
    From the notes for the release:
    iTunes 10.6.1 provides a number of improvements, including:
    • Fixes several issues that may cause iTunes to unexpectedly quit while playing videos, changing artwork size in Grid view and syncing photos to devices.
    • Addresses an issue where some iTunes interface elements are incorrectly described by VoiceOver and WindowEyes.
    • Fixes a problem where iTunes may become unresponsive while syncing iPod nano or iPod shuffle.
    • Resolves an ordering problem while browsing TV episodes in your iTunes library on Apple TV.

  • Safari is giving me a missing plug in message when I try to view things like movie trailers. The trailers play on Firefox, so I'm not sure what's missing from Safari.

    Safari is giving me a missing plug in message when I try to view things like movie trailers. The trailers play on Firefox, so I'm not sure what's missing from Safari.  I have Safari 5.0.6 and Mac OS X 10.5.8.

    I just noticed that it won't play some newsite videos anymore either. What plug in do I need to update (if that's the problem)?

  • Firefox closes when I try to view a pdf file

    when I try to view a pdf file a warning comes up and firefox closes

    I am not sure what is happening, but if you are unable to open pdf file whilst they are on your computer, it is unlikely that you will be able to open pdf files that are on the internet.
    I am not sure your problem is with firefox, because it seems you may not be able to open pdf files even with another application such as Adobe Reader.
    The runtime error message is probably generated by your OS Vista, and indicates you have a problem with whatever you are trying to run.
    * see [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/What-is-a-runtime-error MS link] '' " What is a runtime error? " ''
    Post back again once you are able to open ordinary pdf files that are on your computer.

  • Getting blank pdf files when I try to view them on computers other than my Mac

    I need some assistance.  I keep getting blank pdf files when I try to view them on anything other than my Mac.  I create them in either Illustrator or InDesign and I make sure that I select High Image Quality.  I can view them just fine in my Acrobat reader, but the minute I send them out to others or view them on a PC with Acrobat Reader 7 i can't view them.  I get this message "There was a problem reading this document (111)"  Does anyone know the solution to this problem?

    Many PC users still use older versions of Acrobat or Acrobat Reader. I know some people that absolutely refuse to update beyond Acrobat Reader 4.5, often times, that can contribute. Also if you've run PDF Optimizer and removed all the fonts. That can cause a problem.
    Also, make sure you save pdf's with the .pdf extension. As much as they say the opposite PC's need to see that extension.

  • Imovie crashes when i try to view the video full screen or export it. How do i fix this?

    iMovie crashes when i try to view the project full screen and export it. How do i fix this?

    Close out of the camera app, double tap the home button and completely close out of the app.
    Then do a reset, no data loss.  Hold down the home/sleep button together until you see the apple logo and then release, then wait for the phone to boot back up.
    Then check your camera roll again.

  • Some snaps show up as black screens when I try to view them as single pictures.Even when I run them in slideshows they show up as black screens.These are jpeg files.How can I avoid this happening?

    Some snaps show up as black screens when I try to view them as single pictures.Even when I run them in slideshows they show up as black screens.These are jpeg files.How can I avoid this happening?

    There are several possible causes for the Black Screen issue
    1. Permissions in the Library: Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Include the option to check and repair permissions.
    2. Minor Database corruption: Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.
    3. A Damaged Photo: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and right click on it. From the resulting menu select 'Show File (or 'Show Original File' if that's available). Will the file open in Preview? If not then the file is damaged. Time to restore from your back up.
    4. A corrupted iPhoto Cache: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto folder from HD/Users/Your Name/Library/ Caches...
    5. A corrupted preference file: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
    If none of these help:
    As a Test:
    Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
    Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?
