Isght not recognized with ichat AV 3.1 (v417)

HI there,
My mom has an eMac with Tiger OS 10.4.3 and has ichat AV 3.1 (v417)
We have used the ichat AV often before. However, now it is not showing any video icon and we are not able to use the isights.
I went to iChat prefrences and under the video it says "There is no camera attached to this computer"
We haved updated all the software and I checked her isight on my G4 and it worked fine.
I thought that perhaps the firewire connection to her eMac might be damaged. However, I tried the isight in both of her firewire ports and it still was not recognized.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Carol

If there is nothing in System Profiler - Hardware - firewire (Apple Menu - About this Mac - More Info), you could try a reset

    I've ran into problems with my built-in isight camera not working with ichat. It says there hasn't been any information sent in the past 10 seconds and shuts down. It works fine on other programs like Yahoo Messenger and Skype though. Anyone know how to fix this?
    Thanks

  • Audio CD not recognized with Mini but reads with Macbook?

    Error message saying Audio CD not recognized with Mini but reads with Macbook pro. Both machines are using the same Samsung external usb dvd/cd player.
    I've tried rebooting the mini, cleaning the disk, unplugging the drive and the Mini still won't recognize the CD's (it's a 3 cd set and all 3 disks aren't working on the Mini.
    When I use the same disks and drive with my Macbook Pro everything works fine.
    Any suggestions?

    Hi Jay,
    Certainly a strange one!?
    Are these commercial or self made Discs?
    Have you tried CD/DVD sharing on the MBP & see if the Mini can read them in the MBP?

  • Video & Voice Chat Not Working With ichat

    Voice Chat and Video Chat is not working with ichat 6 in booth google and yahoo. One side is ichat and the other side is yahoo & google talk clients, Please confirm whether its a workable scenario or it only supports ichat to ichat.

    Hi
    Other alternatives based on the amount of info in your post.
    Has she set up her Google Name in iChat or is she logged on via the Web Site (Google Mail page) ?
    iChat cannot Video to the Google Mail Login page chat option or to the app called GoogleTalk on a PC.
    Another thing.
    If you login to the GoogleMail Web pages you will get logged out of iChat (GoogleTalk account) to a partial extent which may explain the loss of Video or Audio iCons.
    iChat reports in a Text chat window that you have Logged Off.
    However you seem to be able to continue the chat - but it separate from the web Page chat - You send from the web page and that chat will get the next response, send from iChat and it gets the next response (I can't remember if the Buddy told me he got two Chat windows at his end)

  • USB Camera does not work with iChat

    Hello,
    I'm having a terrible time getting my ToUcam Pro II to work with iChat. I downloaded the iUSBcam program. That didn't work. I downloaded the program Macam, and copied the proper file into the Quicktime Library (as suggested) and that didn't work. I downloaded IOXwebcam, and got an error stating that it wouldn't run due to the fact that it didn't have the proper security settings. Sigh.
    So... what am I to do?
    I'd like to buy a webcam that does, actually, work with my 8 month old Mac Pro 4 core mac desktop, but the iSight camera is ridiculously expensive. Any other suggestions would be appreciated.
    Brad

    An X-box 360 cam will do it although not in that list.
    Anything that is USB 2.0 and marked UVC compliant or Vista Certified.
    Be Aware some Mac Keyboards do not have USB 2.0 ports.

  • WD external drive not recognized with 10.7.5 update

    I've got a Western Digital external drive that was working just fine an hour ago, then I installed the 10.7.5 update and now my Mac Pro is saying that it's not recognized by the computer and asking if I want to initialize it. I went to Disk Utility and the drive itself shows up but no disc image. It's connected via a RocketU USB 3.0 dual hub, which has also worked fine and aparently still is (it's recognized in my system report). I updated my drivers for the USB 3.0 hub anyways but still no disc being recognized.
    It's not a complete disaster because this is a backup disc, but I'd love to avoid having to back up all that data again (about a terabyte, which happens to be all my work files and iTunes files - it's a LOT of stuff). I also wanted to post in case this is some kind of issue with this current update, but I digress.
    This is what my disc utility currently looks like:
    The destination and source can't be the same (as is pictured) when doing a Restore, right? That accomplishes nothing but a blank drive, I'm guessing.
    I also have Drive Genius 3 and tried to "scan" the drive several times, all of them producing failure to scan results. I could try a bench test on the drive, but as I've already stated, it was working fine an hour ago. I'm pretty sure it's the update, not the drive.
    So is there any way for me to save the information that's currently on there or do I have to bite the bullet and re-backup all that data?
    Thanks for any help here. Every time I think I know what I'm doing on the mac I get something stupid like this that I should know but don't.  :-)

    Wow, no help at all. Thanks, Apple!! Another stellar performance. That's the last time I ever install an update as it comes up.

  • Canon Gl2 Video Camera Not Recognized with Firewire 800 Connection

    I have a late 2010 mac with 2.93 Ghz Intel Core i7 Processor with 12GB DDR3 running 10.8.2 OSX.  I have a Canon GL2 video camcorder with a MiniDV tape I am trying to download to my computer.  I am using a new 4pin to 9pin Rocketfish Firewire 800 cable. My computer is not recognizing the firewire input from the GL2.  As suggested with other support threads, I have tried to turn the mac and computer off and on, as well as check to see if the cable is working.  I have also tried both a trial version of Final Cut, and Imovie 09 which is loaded on my Mac, neither of which will recognize the camera.  I clicked on the System Information icon and looked at the Firewire 800 status which was:
    FireWire Bus:
    Warning: Unable to list FireWire devices.
    Maximum Speed: Up to 800 Mb/sec
    At least I know it recognized something.  I have also checked to make sure the Canon is set to DV-Out on the Menu.  Since I am unable to use a USB connector with MiniDV, would there be any other way to either A) Download the video to the computer, or B) get the Mac to recognize the source plugged into the Firewire?   Any help with this would be excellent.

    I believe that in order to be recognized, you have to start the process from within iMovie of Final Cut; as for your FW port, you can try these two different troubleshooting steps (may or may not work, but won't hurt):
    Reset SMC:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
    PRAM:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
    It may that your FW port is defective; it that turns out to be the problem, I hope you purchased Applecare because those ports are an integral part of the logic board, so that would have to be replaced ($$$).
    Since your footage is on DV tapes, you do need the FW to transfer it or it will not work. One other (involved) way would be to transfer your footage to a DVD if you have a DVD recorder and then get it on the Mac from there.

  • .Mac Account Not working with iChat AV

    Hi,
    I'm having trouble using iChat AV 2.1 (v153) under OSX 10.3.9. I can not use my AppleID to log into AIM, so I am limited to chats with users on the local network whom I discover via rendezvous/bonjour.
    The whole story is related below. Deleting com.apple.iChat.AIM.plist doesn't help.
    Thanks for your help.

    I am able to access the MyInfo page with my .Mac password:
    https://myinfo.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyInfo.woa......
    But, I decide to change my .Mac password anyway to try to fix the iChat problem.
    Visit the .Mac account page:
    https://www.mac.com/WebObjects/Account.woa?aff=consumer&cty=US&lang=en
    and click on the "Forgot your password?" link. Indicate that I want to reset my password via email, and the web page indicates that the info I need was sent to [email protected], which is strange and useless.
    So, I try again: click on "Forgot your password?" link, then on the "Forget your Apple ID?" link. Fill in my info, including my valid email address, and the web page indicates that it has sent the info I need. Check my email, and presto! there's a link to follow to change
    my password.
    I click on the link. Get a web page where I enter a new password twice, which it accepts, followed by a web page that says:
    Your Apple ID password has been changed.
    Select the "continue" button below to return to .Mac
    Login or choose
    from the list at right.
    with a big green "Continue" button. I click the button and get the "Rejoin .Mac" page:
    http://www.mac.com/WebObjects/Welcome.woa?aff=consumer&cty=US&lang=en
    I also get an email message telling me my password has been changed and I'm set to log in. It also tells me to report any problems to:
    http://survey.info.apple.com/feedback/appleid.html
    I don't want to Rejoin .Mac, which I have to pay for and which provides a bunch of services I don't need - I just want the minimal functionality required to get iChat to work.
    So, I restart iChatAV. It immediately opens a window that says:
    AOL Instant Messenger Login
    Please enter your login ID and password for the AOL
    Instant Messenger service.
    with my login ID already filled in - [email protected] - and the password field blank. I fill in the password field with the password I just used the .Mac account management page to reset, and IT IS REJECTED. I try a few times - all rejected. I eventually click on the cancel button and I'm back to where I was - limited to Rendezvous/Bonjour chats.
    I am still able to access the MyInfo page with my .Mac user ID and (new) password.
    I've been through this several times with the same outcome each time.

    Thanks for responding.
    My password is eight characters long. [disclosure, the problem's I've been reporting are with my wife's account - so "My" = my wife's]
    I don't have access to the 10.3 machine right now, but I've reproduced the problem with iChat 3.0.1 (v392) under 10.4.2.
    I select Preferences from the main iChat pull down menu. I then select Accounts, and click on the "+" to add a new account. I click in the "Use this account" check box. I select .Mac as the Account Type. In the Description field, I enter "Chance's Account". In the .Mac Name field, I enter my .Mac username and "@mac.com" is automatically appended with no way to delete it. I enter my .Mac password in the Password field.
    I then select Log In to AIM from the main iChat pull down menu, and, instead of simply logging me in as happens with my account (as opposed to my wife's, which is the problem account we;re discussing), I get a pop up menu "AOL Instant Messenger Login" prompting me to enter the password for the account [email protected]
    It doesn't help to delete the "@mac.com" part. It doesn't help to check the "Allow multiple logins for this account" in iChat preferences.
    I am sooooo sick of this!

  • External iSight cam not working with iChat

    I've got an external iSight cam that was working fine in 10.5.8 with iChat - I'm using 10.6.1 now. Now when I open iChat, the camera stays off (no green light) and iChat video preview says that another application is using the camera so it's not available, which of course, is not true.
    I've tried everything I know, but can't get it to work. The camera works with Skype, so I know it's functioning properly.
    When I checked the Connection Doctor, under Network, it says that there's something in my network setup that is preventing video chats, but I haven't changed anything since upgrading to SL. I have a direct ethernet cable to my DSL modem/router - Covad. My wife's iChat works fine with her new LogiTech camera, and she's on the same home network/router.

    Opps,
    My head read that as MacBook Pro. Sorry.
    Try Restarting the computer whilst Holding done the Apple (CMD)+ALT (OPTION)PR Keys until you have heard three start up Bongs.
    Chax is an iChat Add-on.
    Different version have done different things in the different iChat Versions.
    There is only a Alpha test version of the one for Snow Leopard.
    The iChat 4 version does not work in Snow Leopard/iChat 5 and that was why I was asking.

  • Controller DMRW1000 is not recognized with my 5GHz network

    I have the following items: Director DMC250, DMP100 and Controller DMRW1000.
    I decided to move all of them from the 2.4GHz to the 5GHz network, but the Controller is not recognized by LELA and when I try to set the network manually on the controller it does find the SSID but can not connect to it.
    Anybody with a similar problem?

    Hi,
    A friend of mine had the same problem and here's what he did to resolve it. 
    Reset the controller by pressing and holding the reset hole/button for 20 seconds. Try then to manually connect the controller to the wireless network by using the LCD screen. Don't forget to check for any firmware updates for the controller afterwards.
    I hope this helps.

  • AIM Triton - Not compatable with iChat for Audio/Video

    **From MacDailyNews** http://www.macdailynews.com
    AOL's new AOL Instant Messenger 'Triton' (free for Windows 2000 and XP at http://www.aim.com/ ) update is now available. "Triton is more marketing-driven than ever, but this version's audio-chat feature shuts out one popular AIM-compatible program, Apple's iChat AV, and it doesn't allow video-conferencing with any other AIM software," Rob Pegoraro writes for The Washington Post. "More ads, less compatible: Does that sound appealing?"
    "Text chats between Triton, earlier AIM releases and two third-party programs -- iChat AV, released with AOL's support, and the independently developed, open-source Gaim -- went fine. But Triton makes enough changes to voice chatting to prevent any audio exchanges with iChat AV, and its new video software doesn't work with any other AIM-compatible software," Pegoraro reports. "Fortunately, you don't have to run AIM to use the AIM network. For basic text chats and file transfers, non-AOL programs such as Gaim, Trillian and iChat provide the same utility without any of the ads."

    HI Rj,
    As Triton got to it's current version as a Beta and then without any apparent changes become the item on the AIM latest page link http://www.aim.com/getaim/win/latestwin.adp I would presume it is not a fully functional item yet.
    Particularly as AIM 5.9 is still available here http://www.aim.com/getaim/win/otherwin.adp?aolp=
    As it is market driven hopefully it will catch up with AIM 5.9 on the connectivity front and lose or at least gain the ability to block unwanted ads.
    I think we have a while to go with this one before suggesting people swap to Triton.
