Is our video coversation safe?

Is our video conversation safe? If I am doing video chatting with my friends or family then it is safe from third parties. Means is it possible that someone else can decrypt it and can see our video conversation on his system ??

Hi, k_adilumer, and welcome to the Community!
I would say Skype audio and video calls are definitely safe. Here is more information:
https://support.skype.com/en-us/faq/FA143/Is-Skype-secure
and
https://support.skype.com/en-us/faq/FA31/Does-Skype-use-encryption
Please take a pro-active approach and ...
1. Use the most recent version of Skype available for your computer/operating system or device. Keep your internet browsers updated.
2. Ensure you keep up with downloading and installing updates and patches for your computer/operating system or device as they are released.
3. Regularly download the latest virus signature files available for your preferred anti-virus/malware/spyware software and run it.
4. Exercise reasonable precautions as you surf the web.
Edited to add this note: I did not realize Moderator Wesley posted his reply more quickly than I did.

Currently using iPhoto 7.1.5 We recently upgraded from Leopard to Snow Leopard with updated Quicktime player. Our videos off our camera no longer open in Quicktime by double clicking. Any help?

We are running iPhoto 7.1.5 '08. After upgrading to Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and Quicktime Player 10.0, our videos off of our camera no longer open by double clicking. Any help?

Thank you for your quick reply. I'll give it a try. Another workaround I figured out last night is to right click the video, click show file, and then double click the file. Quicktime the plays the video.

Downloaded Adobe Flash and now our videos are skipping

We downloaded adobe flash onto the computer after it told us to in order to gain access to a tv show on Fox. We installed and now all of our videos on Youtube Hulu and anywhere else are skipping really bad and will not play. Any ideas to fix it or get the adobe flash off the computer?

You're going to have to head over to the Adobe Flash help, since this forum is for the MacBook Pro hardware.

HT2515 What happens if our video chat is not connecting with the other person?

What happens if our video chat is not connecting with the other person?

Hi,
Not really enough info to help constructively.
Which Version of iChat ?
Is it iChat to iChat or iChat to Messages (i.e Mac to Mac) or AIM (iChat) to PC AIM (needs to be a compatible version)
Is this AIM to AIM (Includes AIM valid Screen Names from certain Apple IDs) ?
Is it Jabber to Jabber (this can only be done Mac to Mac in Messages and/or iChat) ?
Do you get any failure message ?
In the Video Menu > Connection Doctor > Errors tab do you get any info ?
NOTES
As mentioned it is iChat to iChat or iChat to AIM on a PC if the PC has a compatible version (which is not the latest) (where it lists iChat it also means Messages in Mountain Lion)
It has to be either AIM to AIM IDs or Jabber to Jabber IDs
It cannot be Jabber to some GoogleTalk Web Browser Login (or Facebook)
It cannot be Jabber/Google Talk to the PC app called GoogleTalk
Google released an PC only App that will use Jabber protocols for Video (Called Jingle)
Their web Browser Plug-in also uses Jingle for Video and Audio chat but iChat and Messages use SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) to connect. The two are not compatible.
Facebook also run a Jabber server and have apparently released their Own Plug-in which can cause problems of it's own on a Mac.
However you also cannot video to a Web Browser Login on Mac or PC
If this is iChat 6 it does not Video on the Yahoo Accounts (that is Text Only)
This means it cannot Video to any version of Yahoo on Mac or PC or any Web Browser method.

Question: can't upload our video from flash pro cc - HELP??

"We used the publish command in Flash pro cc and found the saved html, SWA, Quicktime and FLA versions of the document/animation it saved on our computer, but when we uploaded, these versions either didn't work, or only uploaded with video or audio. We don't have Quicktime. How can we upload this video? The solutions I find online are so extremely complex. I'm just a teacher and I need this video my 12 yr old helped me create for my middle schoolers asap!!! Please help a poor English teacher navigate the tech world?"

This is the Flash Player forum; you should ask in the Flash Pro forum.

Which mac is best value for our video editing needs?

We are on a budget and need either a new mac or our old one, upgraded, so that we can edit a substantial amount of video using iMovie (and maybe later Final Cut Express if needed). The video is being shot for us by a semi-pro with a fabulous camera, and is HD.
We have the G5 iMac, 1.5 GB memory, 1.8GHz processor and 134 G internal hard drive. We are using a 160 G external HD for the iMovie stuff right now and will need to get a bigger external.
Shouldn't this mac be sufficient? If not, what is recommended?
Would like to keep hardware purchase under $1000.
Thanks!

Define "substantial amount" of video. 10 hrs? 100 hrs?
What flavor of HD? There are eleventy million.
• Some play with iMovie and FCE, some don't.
• Some require an Intel Mac to decode, some don't.
• Some will play fine from a FW400 drive and some require a RAID tower.

Video Coversion

I am having problem converting files so they can be uploaded to my Ipod.
I have spent hours convertin my AVI to MOV files using quick time and they appear in my movies bit in itunes easily. The issue comes when I try to convert them for use on my IPOD.
I get the following message "Error Occured while convertin the file. You do not have enough privelages for this operation. iTunes could not save to your Music Folder because you do not have write access. Check the permissions on your music folder and folders in your music, then try converting this file again."
I store my music on a networked drive I access via AFP (dont have enough room on my laptop).
I have checked the permissions and the folder and sub folders are set to read & write. Itunes doesn't have any issues copy files to the folders when it imports music or videos just when it try's to convert them.
Any help please shout.

One way you might check to see if it is an issue with the networked drive is to start up iTunes so that you can create a new library...
How to open an alternate iTunes Library file or create a new one
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=304447
Now create a new library on your internal drive. Now use File -> Add to library... navigate to the networked drive library and pick those same videos which will then be copied to your new internal drive library. Now try converting them from the internal drive library. If it works then it must be something about the networking.
For now you can switch back to your old library and File -> Add to library... the newly converted versions on the internal. Afterwards you can kill in the internal library if you wish or just leave it for the next time you have an issue like this.

How can I review iCloud to make sure my precious photos and videos are safe. How can I do this from my husband's iPhone?

How can photos/videos stored in iCloud be reviewed? My iPhone is lost.

Hey sumig,
Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, you want to see the photos in iCloud Photo Library. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.
iCloud Photo Library beta FAQ - Apple Support
Your entire library is also available on the beta Photos app on iCloud.com.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Have a good one,

Music disappeared from my ipod but still in library and on our video ipod

I turned my ipod on today and music that was on it last night has now disappeared. These are from cd's that we had copied onto the computer and then deleted once we loaded them into itunes and onto the ipod. I didnt do anything different when i plugged it in to charge. HElp please!!!

It would appear that the iPod hard drive has become corrupt and unreadable. This doesn't mean that the songs are not on your iPod, hence the fact that the iPod reports used space and iTunes may show them.
You should restore the iPod and then reload the songs from iTunes, but if they are no longer there, then you are seemingly stuck with importing the CDs again.

QT video on our website won't play (two issues, clearly described)

Sorry for the long post... lots to cover and I want to be clear.
ISSUE 1:
I'm building a website for a client which will eventually include dozens of short instructional videos dealing with music theory. I built a temporary QuickTime test file in order to begin testing the site. The test video features a short musical chord in the audio track and a simple logomark which appears and then fades out. The finished QT files will feature videos of musicians performing, plus related instructional content. The QuickTime test file was built in iMovie; the finished QuickTime files will be built in Final Cut.
The test video specs are: 240 x 180 pixels, H.264, 128 KBPS (let me know if you need more specs). I did not choose the "hinted" (prepare for Internet streaming) option when I exported the test video from iMovie.
When I test the temporary QT file using Firefox, it works as expected. Same with Explorer. A new window opens and the QT file plays normally. In Safari on my PowerBook, it's fine, too. In Safari on my old G4 tower, however, a new window opens and only the audio portion of the QT file plays: The video portion does not. The QT 'playback bar' jumps up the page (where the video portion should be) and plays the audio only.
Here's a link to a test page. When you get there, click the "WATCH A TEST VIDEO" link.
http://www.muzoracle.com/muzweb/watchittemp/videoconstruction.html
Both test Macs are running QT 7.2 and Safari 2.0.4 (419.3). I can't imagine why results are different in Apple's official browser on two different Macs... and why everything works fine in Firefox and Explorer. I've reset Safari on the buggy one. I've ditched QT prefs and even downloaded a fresh copy of QT 7.2. I've tried everything I can think up. No luck. I have no idea what Windows PC users might expect.
I'd appreciate reading the results others on this forum observe. The last thing we want is for visitors to have a frustrating experience when the site goes public. We want it to be seamless and we want it to "just work" (as Apple's Mac ads are fond of saying). Since we've settled on using QuickTime exclusively on our site, we already anticipate that some PC users will need to go download the free QT player (and we've provided links to do so)... that's about as far as we're willing to push people who simply wish to view our video content.
ISSUE 2:
Our ISP offers streaming content as part of its web hosting package. They have Darwin and Helix DNA set up to play various formats, including QuickTime (.mov) files. Although their upper-level techs assure me that it's all working on their end, none of the content we've created streams from their server to our Macs. They're all on Windows PCs. I spoke with a general-level tech support representative on the phone for about an hour the other day. She's on a Windows PC and could not get it to work. She was great... she knew her stuff and tried everything in her arsenal... working with permissions, moving things around in various directories, we tried both "hinted" and "non-hinted" versions of the file... nothing worked on any browser we tested.
On the test page URL listed above, you'll see a link that says "WATCH A STREAMING VIDEO TEST." Please click it and tell me what happens. On all machines we've tried - Macs and PCs - in Firefox, Safari, and Explorer - we get the same results: A QT window opens and displays a message saying "Switching transports." This message is displayed for about a minute and is eventually replaced by various messages, including "Not Found," "404" (which I assume means the file cannot be found), a QT logo with a question mark in it, "-3258: Disconnected," and "415: Unspecified Media Type," among others.
Grr. I've lost about 22 hours trying to troubleshoot this issue during the last five days... hours of my life, gone forever, which I cannot in good faith bill to my client. I'm losing sleep and money.
Thanks again for any tips and advice.

Nothing opens when that URL is opened in QuickTime Player.
True "Streaming" files require hint tracks be included in the file.

Your opinion - why should we (or should we not) use flash as our primary platform for video delivery?

Hi,
I work at a college that is delivering courses online at a
distance. Currently, we are using a Windows Media Streaming server
as our main platform for video. We definitely want to be able to
stream, as our students are from all over the world and have many
different connection speeds - from t3 all the way down to dial up.
With Windows Media Streaming, we can configure the video at
multiple bit rates, within a single file, to address these various
speeds. The file is delivered at a speed appropriate to each user's
connection. We can also choose to force authentication for any
given fie, while still having most of our video clips available to
anyone.
We are currently evaluating our setup and looking into
various options. A lot has been said about Flash. I would love to
hear pros and cons for using flash as our primary platform. I have
heard that one advantage to Flash is that there is a way of setting
up your files, so that no player is needed. I would also like to
know if that is true. I sense that it is not - I had removed flash
from my computer, and could not play anything with a swf extension.
As I would suspect, my computer had no idea what it was without the
flash player installed.
I have also heard that the concept of streaming is inherent
within the Flash technology - that Flash files will automatically
stream in a similar manner to our current setup, where the speed
and flow of the delivery is dependent on the user's connection. Can
anyone comment on that?
Additonally, we would need a separate server, as we do not
want anything conflicting on the server where we house our Course
Management System. Is there anything to be aware of with this type
of setup?
Some of the video files that we use would need to be limited
to a certain audience - (due to copyright and contractual issues).
Is there a way for Flash to handle such issues? With Windows Media
STreaming server, we can opt to have any file require a username
and password. this requires manual addition of these credentials to
the server though, and is not a very efficient approach.
Please feel free to add any additional comments that you
think might be helpful. Thanks for any information you can give me.

HT204370 Why does our movie show up twice in the video/movie selection area? It seemed to download twice because I didn't know what it was doing. Am I charged twice ?

Good morning. I am a real rookie here, we downloaded a movie and now it is listed twice in our video/movie folder. Does this mean we are going to be charged twice? Thank you

No external video on docking station in safe mode?

Hi,
I have xb4 docking station with external monitor, and dv6 laptop; because of space, I only use the external monitor (not the laptop's monitor). Unless full OS is booted, I getno video -- so safe mode, disk check, anything pre-boot, I got squat. It's really hard to do anything without being able to see what's going on.....
Is anyone else experiencing this, with dv6 or other laptops? Do any laptops work correctly (that is, you can see what's going on in safe mode, etc.)?
I would kind of understand if the USB-connected wireless mouse and keyboard didn't work in this mode, but even that is something that could be overcome by including drivers in the BIOS.
If this disturbs you, please let HP know! They won't do anything about it unless "enough" people complain.

I have having a horrific time with Firefox 24 crashing. I have run many anti-virus, tried suggestions on here. Then I decided to run the ADS Spy tool in the Misc. Tools that come with Hijack This from Trend Micro.
The results showed four supposed "Microsoft" folders, that were odd. I am familiar with Microsoft folder types but these were very odd, not only because of where they were, but also because when I tried to find them in the detected location, they were not there!! And I DO have "Show Hidden Files and Folders" enabled.
I looked all over for the folders, inside EVERY other Microsoft folder in "Applications", both in the "All Users" and the personalized one that is also found there as well as in Local Settings. They weren't there either. They were detected as being in: Docs and Settings > Local Users > Applications > Microsoft then named as, (not exact names, I forgot to write them out but these are representative of those names):
* yv9d0fkyxb4e
* vq5stu20izqm
* u3vxf7d5wrk8
* qo0c6ep2vvi1
These are usually the kinds of names tagging viruses/trojans. And I keep close tabs on what is inside folders, I've learned over time to do that, not just rely on antivirus software. It has paid off more than a few times. But these kind of names are usually found as some kind of text files if it's a virus. And I KNOW that they were not there before. I had run ADS Spy about two weeks earlier. With names like that I would have seen them as obviously suspicious.
So.... I deleted them from Hijack This when they were found in a second scan for ADS Spy entries, and once again I could not find them anywhere.
Since then my computer has been working perfectly as has Flash Player and Windows Media Player. Not one crash or glitch and I am on my computer all day and night until bed

Firefox will not play Yahoo videos.I can play them on Safe version of Firefox. What is wrong?

I cannot play Yahoo videos on Firefox.
I can play Yahoo videos on Safe version of Firefox.
I can play videos on other sites (CNN,Fox,....etc.).
I recently updated to the latest version of Adobe Flash.

You were on the right track. However, It was the No-Script Extension that was causing the problem. I went to the No-Script Options then General tab and checked the box "Allow top-level sites by default".
I had noticed that as I kept trying to play the videos, a No-Script message popped up about something (don't remember exactly what it said).
The Yahoo videos now play.
