Initial video/voice call always fails

Hi,
Every time I intiate either video or voice call, I keep getting "calling" signal with no response. During that time I can't disconnect and forced to wait for applicaiton to disconnect call. Other party can't answer it. It also applies when I call landlines too...Running on Windows 8, Skype version 6.21.0.104. Tried to reinstall it and get the same problem. I don't have this problem when I run skype on my iphone. Please help! Thanks!

shippo_uk,
I am having the same trouble but only when at home. After Apple changed my phone and the problem continued I looked in to other things and found that when WiFi is switched on in Settings I always have to redial, when Wifi is off it calls first time no problem.
Even though this only started since the 4.1 update, Apple are blaming my Sky Router which doesn't help.
Might this be the same problem for you? Did you get yours sorted?

My FaceTime isn't working properly. Every call I make a black dot appears on the camera in the middle (fixed onto the screen, and is not dirt), and the calls always fail. It would ring 6 times and then say call failed. How can I fix this?

My FaceTime isn't working properly. Every call I make a black dot appears on the camera in the middle (fixed onto the screen, and is not dirt), and the calls always fail. It would ring 6 times and then say call failed. How can I fix this?

If FaceTime ever worked properly for you, restarting your modem (and separate router/wireless if you have such) may help. If the problem continues, try connecting at a different location to see if the problem is within your wi-fi.
The black dot problem may mean you need to reset your iPod. If that does not help, it may need service by an Apple Authorized Service Provider.

Test call always fails

people often can't reach me. To check this I have tried the Skype test call - it always fails. But it works on my Ipad. what can be wrong on my Iphone but not my Ipad?
Thanks

This became a problem when Call Library Nodes got error terminals (and optional path terminals) in LabVIEW 8.20. I should be able to get a fix in to VI Analyzer Toolkit 2010.
Thanks for taking the time to report the bug.

Computer crashes when receiving or initiating a voice call - Windows 7, Skype version 7.6

Whenever I either initiate a voice call or click to answer one, the system freezes and does not respond to anything short of a hard reset. I've tried the following steps without solving the problem:Reinstalling Skype (was 7.5, now 7.6)Updating video and sound driversDeleting Skype data files in the AppData foldersNone of these have helped. Running EventViewer does not yield an event corresponding to the crash at all - the first event after the time of the crash is a startup report that the system was not shut down correctly. If you can shed any light on this, I would be extremely grateful. I would happily attached the zipped DXDiag report but whenever I try I get the message "The attachment's DxDiag-Chera-2015-06-28.zip content type (unknown/unknown) does not match its file extension and has been removed."

Someone else in the Community had a similar issue. The problem was actually resolved by downgrading the drivers. There may be a bug, tweak or added Catalyst configuraiton that's causing the card to lockup. http://community.skype.com/t5/Windows-desktop-client/Skype-freezes-up-my-computer-when-I-hit-call-I-ve-tried-every/m-p/3195692/highlight/true#M266621 With the current drivers you can see if the issue is realted to AMD Overdrive: Under Catalyst Control Center, Performance, AMD OverDrive. If this option exists, try to disable it. If it's disabled you can try to enable it and lower or increase the settings to see if anything changes. If nothing changes you can try older releases below Catalyst 14.2 but not below Catalyst 12.3.

N8 - getting rid of "make a video/voice call" prom...

I have never done video calls on handheld and I doubt I will start using it frequently in next say 2 years. Yet 90% of calls that I make I have to choose if Im going to do video or audio call or SMS. On N8 its little worse (compared to my previous N97, n95-8, etc) as it lacks "hardware green" button which used to force an call, when, say, browsing addressbook.
Is there a way to disable this nuisance (for the next 2 years)?

correct me if im wrong but even if you wanted to video call you wouldnt be able to. simply isnt supported in any way anymore. its kinda pathetic really lol

I installed the video plugin for google video-voice call but when I start it again ask me to install the plugin.?

I installed allready not only google even Facebook's video plugin doesn't work.

Oh OK got it. You just have to open it with WinRar and extract all files. then you have to install iTunes. if it say this and this is not installed or you don't have it. You just have to find it and install it

Can i get help on how I can successfully install the new google voice video chat software. I keep having an install error. My google voice phone always worked until a week ago when suddenly google would not let me call out from any browser

Can i get help on how I can successfully install the new google voice video chat software. I keep having an install error. My google voice phone always worked until a week ago when suddenly google would not let me call out from any browser until I installed their new google voice and video chat (made by vidyo) software. I was told by genius bar to install Yosemite, which I did. But that did not solve the problem. I removed macKeeper, as well, since a techie friend told me that could be the cause. Nothing so far has worked. When the problem first happened, it seemed to only happen in Chrome. Google voice calling out worked fine in safari, for about a day or so. Now I cannot call out from any browser. I can, however receive calls, and make calls within the video hangout.
I can be contacted directly if questions at gary at couplewise dot followed by the usual extensin

You can only suspend service for 3 months at a time (with or without payment) and only twice a year.

BT broadband drops iChat screen sharing when voice call initiated

Just a question, and a warning if anyone out there in the UK is contemplating BT (British Telecom) broadband, you might get this issue.
I can share a screen with someone on BT braodband, but using voice at the same time makes the video very slow and jumpy. So, my solution used to be to phone on a normal phone line and just use the iChat for screen sharing.
Now, my mother has switched to BT broadband + BT phone (was Metronet broadband + BT phone), now, every time I start a voice call at the same time as screen sharing it crashes the iChat app.
BT tell me it is porbably a fault with the applicaiton, and the fact that it worked for over 3 years whilst on Metronet is pure coincidence. The whole reson she switched to them was to try to save a little money, they want to charge £50/hr to diagnose what the issue might be.
Does anyone else have this problem? If so, has anyone discovered the cause?
Thanks
Stephen

HI,
Describe in more detail please what you mean by "Crash"
Can you Video Chat ?
Can You Audio Only chat ?
These both use the same ports when making a connection and during the actual Chat
A Screen Share is an Audio Chat+ and uses a random port for the Screen Sharing side.
As this port is random you cannot set up Port Forwarding or Port triggering (If the router part does that) and you need to use UPnP (Universal Plug and Play).
UPnP is normally On by default in the later Home Hubs (2 and 3)
Early versions
If she happens to be using iChat 3 or earlier though there can be issues as the Hub is capable of VoIP and using the phone over the Internet.
VoIP uses a protocol over the internet called SIP (Session Initiation Protocol)
This has internationally agreed ports of 5060-5063 (it uses one and will try one at time if not available)
Early version of iChat also used port 5060 to make connections.
However some ISPs started to Block these ports and then charge extra for this "extra" service (sometimes without notification)
Some Modems that can "route' the Phone over the internet also need to have setting changed to allow iChat to work, (Basically the device has a SIP filter regardless of the addresses on the data packages meaning they don't get to the computer and get "lost" as they are not addressed to the Phone either).
Later versions of iChat moved away from the 5060 port(s) and used 16402 as the first choice.
Skype that also uses SIP to make connection have never used the 5060 range.
If there is a error message about Unexpectedly Quit we could do with seeing the "Crash Log" from her Home Folder/Library/Logs/CrashReporter/iChat.

Initial content installation always fails

I have mountain lion 10.8.5 and recently updated safari to 6.1. After that, I bought/installed Logic Pro X. The initial software install went through fine, and then when I open the program for the first time, it downloads 2 GB of initial content. After the download, I am prompted for teh admin password, and the installation continues, but always fails with "the content download could not be completed". I have tried this several times over the past few days, same result every time.
Has anyone seen this issue, and is there a solution?

Yes.. there are several possible reasons for this..
The common ones are;
Your System disk has a permissions/disk error on it.. try repairing permissions and also use the disk utility to check and repair your system disk if needed..
Make sure your Mac does not go to sleep during the process... Change the settings in System Preferences/Energy Saving to prevent this from happening, temporarily...
Boot your Mac up in Safe Mode.... and try again.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1455
Finally you will find a thread here which contains lots of useful info on resolving this issue... (Including some of the above)
If none of these fixes things for you then you may have to contact Apple directly and ask them to help you troubleshoot.. Remember, when you purchased Logic Pro X you got 90 days of free Applecare support for LPX so make use of it if needed
http://www.apple.com/contact/
Additional suggestion/possibiity
This is not exactly common but I have come across it more often than one would think these days... and it is one that can often be overlooked...
Your ISP doesn't allow you to download a single file larger than a certain size... Typically the Max File Size Limit is set to 2GB or in a few cases less... which can then result in the issue you are having... Call your ISP to confirm/check or find a single, larger than say 2.5GB, file on the net somewhere that you can download and test..

Does iOS 5 has features such as Block certain caller, record voice call, 3G Video call (GSM), Personalized Text Ringtone, Voice Conference call, etc?

Does anyone know whether iOS5 has features such as:
- Block Caller
- Record Voice Call
- 3G Video Call (GSM)
- Personalize Text Ringtone
- Conference Call

According to what's been published so far:

Unknown, probably NO- Block Caller
     (True call blocking can only be done by the carrier. The best any phone could possibly do is a) not ring and b) send the call to voice mail)
Unknown, probably NO- Record Voice Call
     (This will probably NEVER been included as the legality of doing so can vary wildly from place to place, sometimes from state to state and even city to city)
Unknown- 3G Video Call (GSM)
     This may not be such a great idea with most carriers doing away with unlimited data plans. FaceTime over 3G could end up costing a lot!
Not published, but widely reported as Yes- Personalize Text Ringtone
This already exists in the current iOS and has since 1.0- Conference Call
     AT&T can handle up to 5 simultaneous calls linked together, Verizon only 2. Support will vary by carrier.

Bbm video or voice call

Hi, Could anyone tell me why the video or voice call feature on bbm doesnt want to work. I have a friend also with a z10 and whenever i try making a video call to him it says contact is not available for video call, yet all his settings and thing are correct on the phone

Are both of you on WiFi at the time?
It could work over the mobile network UNLESS it is forbidden by one of your mobile network providers, OR if you have the BBM app settings to "Allow BBM Calls over mobile networks" disabled. Open your BBM app > swipe down from the top of the app to the settings > scroll down and enable that feature.

Skype to Lync voice call fails

Hello
I have configured the Lync federation with Skype. I have IM and Presence interoperability working both ways. Voice is working from Lync to Skype.
My problem is just voice calls from skype to lync. The calls fails and I get a no answer in the skype client. Looking to the Edge logs I can see a "SIP/2.0 480 Temporarily Unavailable" received from the front end that is forwarded
to the skype.
Any idea is welcome
JJ

have you opened the required ports for federation?. have a look at the port requirement and see if you missed any or the direction that you opened.
