My brother can see and hear me (AIM), I cannot see or hear him (iChat).

So I had a post a few days ago about the communication issues with iChat to AIM. Got a great response and info from Rj in WI (thanks a bunch) but still having problems. The other day my brother and I were able to establish an audio connection but not video. He downloaded the latest version of AIM (5.9, not sure if it is the Triton version) Now he can SEE and HEAR me, but all I see and hear is myself. Regardless if I invite him or he invites me same thing. I have a wireless connection, he is hard wired. Anyone have any pointers or had this issue. The solution might have already been pointed out to me but I have not been successful. Seriously entertaining the idea of Sightspeed but I have iChat and want to use it for what it was created for.

I occassionaly will have the same issue connecting to fellow mac users. Usually quitting iChat and restarting, then re-initating the conference will solve the issue.
He should be using AIM 5.9, Tritan currently does not support iChatAV.
I have a wireless connection and don't use Sightspeed and don't have any issues.
Are you able to successfully conduct 2 way video chats to fellow mac users that don't have any connection problems?
Lastly, I'd be willing to test with the PC user, just let me know!
Let us know how it goes.

    How can I get photoshop and Illustrator CS5? I cannot see it anywhere. My computer(PC) can only use CS5

    If you do not own a license for CS5 there is not much you can do to get it thru Adobe.  They only sell current versions of their software (CS6 or Creative Cloud).  You would need to find a third party vendor and take your chances with them.
    If you do own a CS5 license you can download the software thru the following page and use your serial number to activate:

    Good point BDAqua, the Escape key helps get me back to reality in Lion.
    While I've only dabbled around a little in Lion since it's release (I upgraded a 10.6 Clone to Lion on one of my FireWire Drives) now I'm currently downloading Mountain Lion (to upgrade a Clone of that Lion Clone) so that now I can continue to move forward in madness.
    P.S. Trust me, I'm not laughing.

    If you need to use the phone now, try using speaker phone until you can take it to an Apple store and have them further look into the problem.

  • Just bought Ipad2. Loaded Skype, can see and hear other person but cannot see myself cannot find a video setting for skype on the ipad does anyone know?

    Just bought Ipad2. Loaded Skype, I can see and hear the other person, but They and I cannot see me...just my audio. Does anyone know where or how to find sype video setting on Ipad app?

    Try a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. When the screen goes blank power On again in the normal way.] It is absolutely/appsolutely safe!

  • HT4437 I am watching a movie on my iPad in vudu, I have turned the AirPlay on the apple tv and I can hear the movie but cannot see the movie

    I have started watching a movie on my iPad (last gen) on vudu , and started the AirPlay and I can hear it but am not seeing the movie. Where do I go to see it or what am I not doing?

    That is normal. Not all apps are enabled for airplay, this is up to the developer to do.

  • My FaceTime is frozen I can see the other person but they cannot see me

    My FaceTime is frozen, I can see the person I am calling but he cannot see me. 

    I have exactly the same problem!!! I have an iPhone 4 with iOS 6.1, and I think that my problem started when I updated to last version (6.1) of iOS. I have done everything you tell and, like you, my iPhone has not been damaged by a drop or water. Please help because I'm desperate!!!

  • Why can I connect OK w/VPN, but cannot see Server?

    Finally got my VPN service running on 10.8.3 Server. Am able to connect from outside fine, but after connecting I cannot see my Server in my Sidebar, cannot access my Share Points, nor can I access the Server thru Screen Sharing.
    When I return to my office and connect to the LAN, I am able to see the Server, access my Shared folders, and start Screen Sharing without any problems.
    Any ideas why this is not working?
    Thank you !

    When you connect via VPN, you'll be joined to the network, but won't be automatically logged into the server.  That's a seperate step.  In Finder, Go menu, select "Connect to Server...".  You might see your server there, maybe not.  Either way, you should be able to type in your server's internal IP address and connect to it.
    Also, check how you've configured the VPN settings on your server.  You'd want VPN to tell your clients what DNS server to use while they are conencted.  If you want them to see internal resources like your server, you'd want to put your server's internal IP address in here as the DNS server to point the clients to.
    In my screenshot below, I've put in my router's address.  You'd want your server listed here, or you'd want your router configured to be using your server for it's DNS lookups.  I think either one should work.

  • Why is background black and text black so you cannot see what you are typing

    Why is the background black and the text black.  You cannot see what you are typing or read the text of posts?

    Hi dlwhit,
    I'm not sure what you mean by the background and text being black.  The sidebars are black, but the text is supposed to show up on a white background.  I haven't seen this, nor has anyone else reported this issue yet.
    Can you give more information where you see black on black text so we can try to correct it?
    Thanks,

  • Users able to see documents via URL when they cannot see the folder containing them?

    I took an AD group out of the permissions list for a folder in a document library. Then I ran an incremental search.
    Now, users in that group cannot see the folder (correct behavior!).
    Users in that group do not find documents in that folder when performing a site search (correct behavior!).
    BUT, users in that group CAN open a document in that folder by using the full URL to a document there, the full link.
    This seems like a security violation - how can the members of that removed group open a document in a library that they cannot even see?
    SP2010 Enterprise, SP1, Feb 2014 CU on Windows Server 2008 R2
    Win7 clients with IE10
    I have reviewed the groups in use and the permissions lists where they are used and don't see any source of "leakage".
    Any ideas why this might be happening and how to fix it?

    Hi,
    Based on your description, my understanding is that the user without permission can see a document in a folder by using the full URL to a document.
    I have followed your description to do a test, but I can’t reproduce your problem.
    My 
    suggestion is that:
    Sign in your site with a user who has full control 
    permission to the site, and go to  the documents in the folder and check whether the users in that group without permission to the folder have permissions to the documents.
    When users in that group use the full URL to a document , please check whether the current user is the user in that group without permission to a
    document in the folder. You can try a test in another computer.
    Please clear your browser Cache and then test again.
    If the issue still exists
     , please don’t hesitate to let me know．
    Best Regards

  • How can I change toolbar color? I cannot see dark icons because the toolbar background is so black

    The newer versions of Firefox uses a blue-black backgrounds. Some icons, such as page forward and backward is also in a dark blue color. It is hard to see especially when I have the laptop screen at an angle comfortable for viewing.

    Reset to the Firefox "Default" theme in Add-ons > Appearance. Then, if you wish, find a different Theme or Persona, that is not so dark:

  • I Can Video Chat but I Cannot see Buddy But I Can Hear Them, What Do I Do ?

    I Can Connect with Video Chat but I Cannot see Buddy But I Can Hear Them, What Do I Do ?
    kiChat ref (please)
    For iChat 3 and iChat and iChat Sharing (iChat 4) Forums
    This is for Mac users who are at either 10.4.11 or 10.5.6 and have Perian 1.1.3 Installed
    It does not seem PCC or Intel Specific.
    As Noted in the Question, the user can make a successful Video chat connection albeit without incoming Video being shown.
    The Connection Doctor from iChat Video menu says there is a incoming feed.
    Testing and work by Defcom proved this to be the Installation of Perian 1.1.3 from http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/video/perian_christopherforsythe.html
    Perian 1.1.3 (a Quicktime add-on that uses a System Preferences like Flip4Mac) causes problems in both iChat versions when the OS is at either 10.4.11 or 10.5.6
    This includes deliberate installs and automatic updates by the Preferences Panel (In System Preferences)
    The Solution
    Download and downgrade to Perian 1.1.2 and turn Off Auto Updates in the Preferences Panel
    Process
    Use the Un-install check box in the Perian Preference Pane panel.
    Download the .dmg from this link WARNING THIS IS A DIRECT DOWNLOAD LINK http://perian.cachefly.net/Perian_1.1.2.dmg
    Install Perian 1.1.2
    Go to the System Preference > Perian pane and disable Automatic Updates

  • My iPhone (5s/8.1.2) and iPad (orig mini/8.1.2) cannot see my Mac Book Pro (Yosemite) and vice versa in Airdrop

    My iPhone 5s (current iOS 8.1.2) and iPad mini (ditto) can see each other in airdrop, but neither one can see my Mac Book Pro (early 2011/Yosemite).  And the Mac Book Pro cannot see either iOS device. 
    I have read everything I can find about this and it seems like these iOS devices SHOULD be able to exchange with my Mac Book Pro using Airdrop, but I am unable to make it happen. 
    Can anyone enlighten me on what might be going on here?

    I have been just wandering for quite a night over the web to find out a solution to this particular issue (no mid-2012 mac visible in Airdrop on iOS).
    So, I seem to have found it and must share it:
    the airdrop started working bidirectional for me after I had changed the following settings to "off" (or whatever it may be called in English version): system settings - network - bluetooth PAN - IPv4 configuration -> off.
    If it works for you, please share further, because the problem seems very common with no solution readily offered.
