Ichat Video issues after update

Hello, this is my first post so apologies if i mess anything up. My iChat has suddenly lost video chat capabilities. After perusing the forums i was unable to find a solution to my problem so i'm hopeful that someone can help me out. So far what i've been able to determine is that its saying "This computer does not support video chats" and "Slow Network" I found this odd since i had been using video chats just 24 hours earlier. I still have audio chat capabilities though. I did install a new update on my mac in that time so i didn't know if that was the cause of the issues. I am now running iChat 5.0.3 (745) and OS X 10.6.7. I have checked my download and upload speed. DL= 25.15 Mbps and UL=11.94 Mbps which i've gleaned should be more than enough. If anyone has any idea's why this is happening or how to fix it i'd welcome them.

Hi,
At iChat Launch it will check the hardware configuration and what Internet speed is available.
The speed is written to the com.apple.ichat.plist and is used as the basis for all iChat version after that (During the time iChat is still Open)
Starting up iChat whilst the computer is doing a download will effect this.
Same if another computer on the same router is using the internet heavily (Consider On-line games on Game Consoles).
Also getting iChat to Launch On Login to the Mac may get the app to start faster than it can Establish an Internet Connection (waking form sleep is prone to this) but maybe influenced by other apps starting and using the 'Net for Update checks.
Upload speed is the crucial one.
This should not be below 128kbps ("Real World" consider 256kbps)
A restart of iChat will most likely sort this.
If it persists delete com.apple.ichat.plist form your Home Folder/Library/Preferences (Drag to Trash)
Restart iChat after this and the .plist will be recreated from defaults.
This will mean that all your changes to anything but the accounts section of the iChat Preferences will be back to Defaults (Saved Transcripts, Font, Colour IM Colour etc.)

  • Video issues after update - 15" Macbook Pro (Late 2011)

    I recently ran some updates for my mac and ever since then, I've been having video issues where my screen is showing horizontal lines. The lines come and go as I make changes to the screen (like minimizing a window) and they came in go and varying degrees of badness. Icons will also start missing unless I hover over them or make some other video change in that area of the screen.
    It could be a coincidence that it occurred after making the updates, but it is worth noting.
    OS: 10.7.4
    Model: 15" 2.2Ghz Intel Core i7, 4 GB, Late-2011
    Graphics: AMD Radeon HD 6750M 512MB

  • Syncing issues after updating to 10.3.1.55

    After upgrading to itunes 10.3.1.55, today, it no longer recognizes my iPhone 4. I plug it in, the iPhone makes its normal syncing noice. I get a prompt, like always about it recognizing the camera and how i want to handle it. I cancel it, as usual, and then it never shows up in iTunes. I close itunes, connect my phone and it does not start itunes as it normally should. No error messages, just no response. Can anyone help with ideas?

    I had the same issue, after updating to 10.3.1.55 it would error out saying something along the lines of not being able to read the catalog or something.  I think the error even states do a restore to fix it.  Last night that is what I did, clicked restore and then had it transfer all my items back.  I'm glad I had just synced my phone prior to the update so the restore was really current.

  • Safari, App Store Issues after updating to 10.7.2

    I have been running my imac that came preinstalled with Lion
    I am having this wierd issue after updating to 10.7.2 recently
    When i run Safari, App Store, Itunes, i can see its loading..
    but after 2 hours its still loading.
    It just seems to be stuck and its not the Beach ball.. So i dont think it hanged
    Its not a network issue as well, since i am typing this on Firefox, which is running perfectly
    What could be the reason?

    I'm having the same issue on my iMac. I've also noticed the rear of the left side is getting a lot hotter than normal.
    I downloaded (from: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1459) the update again and reinstalled it. But nothing's changed. Is there anything else I can try?

  • Issues after updating iPhone3GS to iOS5 on TIM cellular data network (Italy)

    Hi everyone
    I have issues after updating iPhone3GS to iOS5 on TIM cellular data network.
    After installing iOS5 I had to switch from apn ibox.tim.it to wap.tim.it
    Since then the phone is unusable for any internet activity that is barely "data demanding" (e.g facebook app take literaly hours to update), everyting requires way to much time... the iPhone is not an iPhone anymore... it's worse than my blackberry with just GPRS on it.
    TIM technical support suggested me to switch back on apn ibox.tim.it, but then I would not be able to use internet tethering anymore (they say because of Apple iOS5) ... to bad I need internet tethering for work.
    I am seriously thinking to switch ISP or phone.
    Anyone did experience same problem / found a solution?

    Hi Raia.D,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    The first thing I would suggest is to restart your iPhone.  Then tap the Settings app, and you should see Cellular listed on the main settings screen.  You should see Airplane Mode, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and then Cellular.
    Here are some additional troubleshooting steps to try:

  • Portable Wireless Server WG-C10 doesn't stream any audio and some video content after updating phone to Android Lollipop 5.x

    The Portable Wireless Server WG-C10 I purchased in 2014 doesn't stream any audio and some video content after updating phone to Android Lollipop 5.x.
    The WG-C10 firmware is the last version which is available and the PWS Manager software is the last version available in Google Play Store.
    There are no updates for the WG-C10 firmware nor PWS Manager software since 2013 or for Android 5.x (Lollipop) and I don't know if the WG-C10 firmware is the problem or if the PWS Manager software is the problem.
    BTW, I am still able to stream this content on my tablet which is on KitKat (4.4.x) so the files are not corrupted.  The only problem is with Lollipop.
    PWS Manager in the Google Play Store says it supports Android 4.0+ which is no longer true.
    The audio file formats which fail to stream are:  mp3 and wav
    The video file formats which fail to stream are:  mp4, avi and 3gp
    JPEG Images appear to work fine, but I haven't tried other formats.
    I purchased the WG-C10 to stream audio and video primarily to my phone and now that this no longer works, the WG-C10 is useless to me.
    Any ideas?

  • Lumia 1520 Battery Discharge Issue After Updating ...

    After updating to Denim, my Nokia Lumia 1520 started to experience the following symptoms:
    Phone charges to 100%, I disconnect and use an app like Instagram BETA, Internet Explorer, Lumia Camera, or any game--after no more than 5 minutes of use, the phone gives a "Critical Low Battery" alert and shuts down. If I try to restart phone immediately, it makes it to the AT&T splash screen or lockscreen and then same battery message appears and shuts down. If I wait 10-15 minutes after the shutdown to restart phone (without recharging) the phone will stay on, but battery level will report to be in the low 20s or 10s (whereas no more than 20 minutes ago, it was 100%).
    When phone is at 100% battery: I take 2-5 photos or record mere seconds of video and I get the same "Critical Low Battery" alert. Upon restarting, some of the photos or video are nonexistent or corrupt files and battery level is reported at 2-5%.
    However, if my phone is plugged in to charger, none of these "Critical Low Battery" alerts come up and I am able to use phone as usual. Considering that I cannot take a vacation and capture nature's beauty with an AC adapter always connected, this is a serious drawback.
    Steps I've Taken:
    Soft-reset
    Full factory-reset
    Moved all apps off microSD card (this improved situation maybe 5%)
    Disabled almost all background app use in Battery Saver
    Replaced microSD card when I thought this was a memory write/read issue
    Installed "Battery" app to monitor battery use. After 750 data points were logged, my average battery life is reported at "16 minutes," which sounds about right.
    My warranty should be expired since I purchased the phone December 2013, so I'm checking in here if anybody has had any luck with battery replacements or with a solution to this issue? At the same time, this issue arose strictly after updating to Denim and I've seen other users report this EXACT scenario. Is there any hope for Lumia 1520 users on this?

  • Help with video playback after updating to 3.1

    Hi there, after updating to 3.1 on my 2nd gen iPod Touch, I restored it and loaded some videos I converted. On playing those files, the video would play normally until at a random point the video frame would freeze, while the audio continues to play. If I quit the video app and go back to the video, it would play again normally for maybe 1 minute and then the video frame would freeze again, while audio still continues.
    These video files were working perfectly before I updated to 3.0, so I doubt that there is a problem with the files. Could someone suggest what I should do in this situation? Should I revert the firmware back to what it was before updating to 3.0?
    Thanks in advance for your help!

    I have the same issue, except that if I let it go on for a few secomds the video eventually catches up. I am also watching converted videos, and mine are in mp4 format. I haven't tried m4v yet but this is still a bug that Apple should fix.
