No outgoing video on my iMac!

Hi everybody!
I bought two iSights, one for my girlfriend, one for me as I just started working in Munich, so she's three hours away. We have two macs, an iMac for her and an iBook for me.
Each of the two iSights works on the iBook for one-way videoconferencing, to my iMac and to other Macs. To another Mac I could establish a two-way conference with my iBook.
On my iMac none of the cameras works for videoconferencing, but both work for recording quicktime movies and in the preview section of ichat.
It didn't help to forward ports on my router (SMC7004VBR EU.V2) or to use the DMZ-feature. I even tried to PPPoE connect. There always comes the same error message (german): "Verbindung zum Video-Chat wurde getrennt, da: Kein Video von der Kamera verfügbar". This means something like "connection to the video-chat disconnected because: there is no video from the camera available".
The iBook (which is behind the same firewall-restrictions as the iMac) has no problems performing the videoconference, only in the case of a two-way it doesn't work.
I think I used every ressource in your database so far. Trying to connect to the appletest-accounts on aim didn't work either, same error.
Please help! (and asap as I in 24 hours it has to work as I have to return to work and won't s e e my girlfried for a week convulsivesobbing)
Thanks so much
Johannes

Thanks for your quick replay Tony.
There is the stacked video-camera button next to my icon and I can initiate a videoconference. And I can do a "video-preview" under ichats "video"-menu.
So I guess it is enabled.
The only thing NOT working is actually DOING a videoconference.

    FPC wont let me render! I'm a video editor and have over 70 gb worth of videos on the imac which all need to be kept for various clients/backup/original versons but now beloved imac is full, only had it for 5 months! Will Ineed external hard drive every 5 months?? This can't be I've already resorted to getting rid of unsed applications such as garage band, iTunes,address book ect. I've trashed everything I could. what next ???
    My video files are massive, converting them to a different format doesn't reduce the size of them it just turns them into mp4 or apple pro res ect
    This iMac is for work only so there's no pictures, no music, no conacts, no messenger, no games, nonothing but videos!!

    Have a look at this: http://grandperspectiv.sourceforge.net/
    It will show you exactly what is taking up all of your space.
    You also may want to consider some kind of external storage just for your video projects.

  • I need to get back individually erased photos and videos from my iMac with no backups to help. Please help

    i need to get back individually erased photos and videos from my iMac with no backups to help. this is an attempt to consolidate all my data, new and old so I can uninstall Maverick and put Mountain Lion back on my iMac.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    If the files have been overwritten and you don't have a backup, they're gone.
    If they have not been overwritten, then there are third-party apps (for example Techtool Pro 7 ) with data recovery functions that might be able to retrieve some or all of your files.
    Backing up is good.

  • Output iPad video to 27" iMac using iPad VGA adaptor?

    Hi, I was wondering is it possible to Output iPad video to 27" iMac as an external monitor using iPad VGA adaptor?
    Thx.

    No.  The VGA adaptor is an analog connection and the only inputs are digital Mini Display / Thunderbolt ports depending on your model.  It maybe possible with a conversion box of some sort or maybe trying an HDMI to mini display port cable ($44.95) and an iPad 2.  The 27' should be able to be used as a second display but the 21 is not.  If you have the iPad 2, pick up the cable and the HDMI adapter and try it out.  If not, return the cables within two weeks.

  • Output iPad video to 27" iMac as an external monitor?

    Hi, I was wondering is it possible to Output iPad video to 27" iMac as an external monitor using iPad VGA adaptor?
    Thx.

    You'd need something to redirect the VGA signal to a DisplayPort connector on the iMac. Your other option is VGA is easily adaptable to S-Video, though its resolution is not as great as VGA and using http://www.elgato.com/ 's hardware for that. A third one is using a Remote Desktop app for the iPad. Several exist.

    It must be in iTunes and compatible with the ATV (i.e. just because something plays on your computer in iTunes does not mean it will play on the device)
    Below are the compatible formats

    Well, the Allen-Heath support site had the answer... quite suprised and pleased!!
    Have to reconfigure the iMac speakers in the Audio/Midi preferences. The details are found in this URL:

    The ZED R16 is a great board but certainly not Plug' n Play.

  • Does apple have any products to facilitate video input on iMac 27"?

    I want to input video to my iMac 27". I assume you can add a display port video card to a pc, what about VGA and hdmi support?  Has apple addressed this?  I know there was the belkin av360, apple doesnt like It anymore?

    The iMacs support Video Input since iMac mid 2009 i have Play Station 3 connected on my new 27" iMac mid 2011. Im using the Belkin's HDMI to MiniDisplay Port Adaptor (It is only posibble to use the "DisplayTargetMode" from iMac-OtherMac, you have just to press cmd+f2) For all the other devices you will need an Adaptor  cuz' otherwise u won't be able to input at all, or you will not be able to use High Resolution hope this helped ppl, gl.

  • Fastest and best external hard disks for video use with Imac?

    What is the fastest and best external hard disks for video use with Imac (I believe it is currently not possible to use Esata on the Imac).

    For DVCam. HDV etc, I'm a fan of the G-raid drives. From personal experience they
    are very solid performers. I only had one issue with a new drive that was replaced
    next day. They are not the cheapest drives to be found but the build quality
    is excellent. Check out:

  • View HD Video Input on iMac Screen

    I would like to view the high-definition output of my cable company's hi-def cable box (via firewire, hdmi, dvi, usb, or composite connections) on my iMac's scree. Is there any such device that will do this? I have a high-def tv stick that does work with over-the-air ATSC broadcasts, but its only other input is standard analog cable at standard definition.
    Would something like this ADS Pyro video capture device work for this?
    http://www.adstech.com/products/API-558-EFS/intro/API-558_intro.asp?pid=API-558- EFS
    It appears to have hi-def inputs and output capability, but I'm not totally sure.

  • Is there a way to view Flash videos on my iMac without downloading Adobe Flash Player? I'm concerned about performance and security with Flash Player.

    Is there a way to view Flash videos on my iMac without downloading Adobe Flash Player? I'm concerned about performance and security with Adobe Flash Player.

    If the video is only available in a format that requires Flash player : then no.
    However, a great many can also be viewed in an HTML5 version, in which case http://hoyois.github.io/safariextensions/clicktoplugin/ or similar can be set up so that Flash never runs unless you specifically choose it to.

  • IPad video clips to iMac?

    How can I import videos onto my iMac iMovie from my iPad (without emailing it)? I Have iMovie '09 and an iPad 2.

    I have now transferred another keynote file containing the unedited video to my iPad and this runs OK, so there must have been something wrong with my edited file. Next step is to re-edit the video; better luck next time.
