IChat Problem: I can hear but can not see my friend

My friend and I were video chatting on iChat yesterday with NO problems at all. Today we tried to video chat and I don't get an image of her. I can hear her, but all I see is a video of myself! I have read online that Perian 1.1.3 causes this problem and that I should uninstall it, but I do not have Perian. Any suggestions?
And her image of me is fine. She can see and hear me but I can only hear her.
So far I have shut off my computer and turned it back on - didn't work.
Installed Perian then Uninstalled Perian - didn't work.
Deleted QuickTime plug-ins - didn't work.
ANY SUGGESTEIONS WELCOME!

Hi,
Welcome to the    Discussions
Did you put the Quicktime Plug-ins back ?
When you have a Video Chat can you Open the Connection Doctor in iChat from the Video Menu
Does this Indicate any Video is being sent to you ?
What is the Bit Rate from your Buddy ?
What is the frame rate from the Buddy ?
In your iChat > Preferences > Video Section what is the Bandwidth Limit set to ?

  • Skype on my Mac: can hear but can't talk. Why?

    Hello Mac Panthers,
    I am having a problem getting Skype for Mac to be fully functional. Specifically I cannot speak--only listen. I know the headset works fine because I have a Sony notebook right next to my Mac running Skype for Windows and the headset works fine for Skype on it.
    I went to System prefs/Sound/Input/ and tried both setting choices:'audio line-in port' and 'optical digital-in port'. Skype has a self-test feature you can use to make sure you have speaking working. I can't get it to work.
    I don't know what else to try to make this work. Any advice and suggestions are welcome. Thanks.
    Steve

    First off thanks to both posters for your suggestions. It got me Googling this issue for more info.
    After a bit of searching on the web, it became clear this is clearly a common and frequent issue for many perplexed G5 users. Problem? The sound input on the G5 is line level sound in. The standard mic uses mic Level Sound In, which most PCs have, but the G5 lacks.
    And btw there is NO built in microphone on the G5, so that's not an option either.
    So...you have to buy a USB mic to Skype on the G5.
    So, problem solved! (er, uh...after shelling out $35 for another USB mic JUST for the mac that is). On second thought--think I'll just stick to Skyping on my Windows notebook
    ps: so much for 'plug and play' in this instance!

  • 2nd gen A TV I can hear but not see on the TV when trying to stream TV from the iPad2

    2nd Gen ATV I can hear but not see on the TV when trying to stream TV from the iPad2

    You can look at the ipad under settings, general, about and see if it's 4.3.3.
    Or when you connect the ipad to the computer with itunes, it'll tell you on the first tab if you need an update.

  • Rented a movie on my mac - trying to watch on apple tv (i think 2), but iTunes not "seeing" apple tv - so i can't 'move' the rental to the device.  ??

    rented a movie on my mac - trying to watch on apple tv (i think 2), but iTunes not "seeing" apple tv - so i can't 'move' the rental to the device.  i'm brand new at apple tv - do i need to enable it or something?

    Is it the little black box? If yes then it is the 2nd model. It won't show up in iTunes as there is no syncing involved. The only time it does is when you connect and need to restore the device.
    You need to enable home sharing in iTunes and on ATV

  • TS1702 I just upgraded a full version of "ISO Fits" app from App Store 2 days ago but the upgrade wasn't successful. I reported the problem to the developer but had not received any reply. What should I do?

    1. You did not get an error message telling you that your iPhoto library was getting full. You got a message telling you that your HD was getting full, right?
    OS X needs about 10 gigs of hard drive space for normal OS operations - things like virtual memory, temporary files and so on.
    Without this space your Mac will slow down as the OS hunts for space on the disk, files will be fragmented, also slowing things down, apps will crash and the risk of data corruption - that is damage to your files, photos, music - increases exponentially.
    Your first priority is to make more space on that HD. Nothing else can be done until you do.
    Purchase an external HD and move your Photos and Music to it. Both iPhoto and iTunes can run perfectly well with the Library on an external disk.
    Your Library has been damaged from being run on an overfull disk.
    How much free space on it now?

    I just hooked up my Canon MP830 printer/scanner/fax to my MAC and can print but can't scan.  Anyone out there know what to do with this?

    Have you downloaded the approriate Snow Leopard drivers for that printer? Make sure you get the appropriate and latest MP Navigator, as you start scans from the computer, not the all-in-one.  Get them from http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/support/consumer/printers_multifunction/pixma_mp_s eries/pixma_mp830#DriversAndSoftware

  • I am trying to update SW on my iPad but do not see a software update option in setting/general tab, please help.

    I am trying to upgrade SW to iSO 5 on my iPad but do not see the software upgrade option under the setting/general tab.  Please help.

    If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.0.1. For the iPad Mini the iOS is 6.0.2. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.

    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4623
    If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
    Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily.  Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).

    We have $10 credit and would like to buy from our wish list but do not see how

    There used to be a 'buy all' button on the wish list screen, but for some reason it's been removed from the current version of iTunes - you can buy songs etc individually by clicking on their price (not the downward pointing arrow next to the price)

  • I have a Apple Power Mac G5 Dual 2.3 GHz/6GB RAM/500GB HDD/Superdrive PowerPC Desktop and just bought an Airport Extreme card for it.  The card is recognized but will not see the in-house network.  This is a pre-intel computer.  Do I need an antennae?

    I have an Apple Power Mac G5 Dual 2.3 GHz/6GB RAM/500GB HDD/Superdrive PowerPC Desktop and just bought an Airport Extreme card for it.  The card is recognized but will not see the in-house network.  This is a pre-intel computer.  Do I need an additional antennae?   If so, which one because my research is confusing me about what is supposed to work with this computer.

    Please check out the following Apple Support article to see if your particular Power Mac model supports an external Wi-Fi antenna.

    apparently I have just an iphone 4 not 4s, so thank you.
    It does seem rather odd that an app that was acquired thru itunes would quit working once it was incorporated into the device for all users. oh well it was probably free or $.99 when I downloaded it.
    I would think that they were just testing it to see how many people would use it.  But you might want to write a polite letter to Apple requesting a credit for the purchase price of the no longer supported app.  That seems to be the least they could for one of their 'alpha testers'.
