No Video Icon even though MacBook

I have a MacBook Pro. My dad has a MacBook. I got him set up in AIM through iChat and today he signed on. His icon only displays a audio chat connection. The audio connection works fine; however, he has a camera and we would like to video chat. He is using an Airport Express so there should be no issues with the router. His camera works because he has used it for taking his address card picture. My video chat works as well because I have video chatted with others. Anybody know what the problem may be?

If your friends internet connection will not support a video conference, you will not see the camera icon.

When I synch my ipod touch it only lets 50 videos get on ipod . I can't get the other videos on even though there's plenty of space available and it's set to synch all movies

When I synch my ipod touch it only lets 50 videos get on ipod . I can't get the other videos on even though there's plenty of space available and it's set to synch all movies. What am I missing?

i had the same problem. did a lot of research..my phone became unusuable. do you use the htc mail? if so that is your problem. there is a bug with it that it keeps eating your memory until you cannot use your phone. i had to do a hard reset. back to factory condition..not happy! but then went to the marketplace and got k-9 mail. that is now my default mail program. i have not had any issues since then. this is what i kept reading over and over for complaints on this phone. it is a major glitch and the only way, as of the time it happened to me, to fix it..

used wrong charger with ipod classic, now it wont turn on, displays the low battery icon even though its connected to the wright adapter.
Can anyone help ?
please?

WHow long have you left it to charge? Have you tried resetting it after a short period of time to see if that can help jumpstart the charging process? To do this, press and hold both the Select/Center and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.

Unable to import from my video camera even though it has worked before

I have used my Sony MiniDV Digital Handycam many times over the past few months to import the footage from my DV tapes into my computer. However, my iMovie HD suddenly decided one day that it didn't want to recognise my camera anymore, no matter how many times I restart the programme and the computer.
It's not a problem with the firewire because I tried it with another camera and it worked. I don't remember changing any settings on my camera. Plus, even though the camera is over 5 years old, it shouldn't be a problem of compatibility since it has worked before.
I have no idea how to fix this problem. Please help!

Welcome to the discussions.
There are a few things to try here:

Why does compiled (EXE) VI run when you double-click the icon even though I un-checked "Run When Opened"?

My VI code uses the VI's that came with the NI USB-8451 USB-to-SPI converter. Before compiling I needed to use one of those VI's to select the particular USB device that I'm trying to address, then I click the Run button. But after I compile my code into an EXE file, and then double-click the executable file it immediately starts running without allowing me to select the USB device - even though I un-checked the "Run When Opened" box. In fact I also un-checked the Show Menu Bar and Show Scroll Bars boxes as well, yet it shows both of them. What am I doing wrong?

It seems silly to start and stop a built LabVIEW application from the toolbar. A complete application should always run and have the LabVIEW toolbar hidden. A user of you code is not supposed to be familiar with LabVIEW mechanics.
You should do all this in code. Really!
Do a nice state machine with at least two states. (1) a state for where the device has not been entered and is simply waiting for your input, and (2) another state that verifies your device input and hands it to the rest of the code for afterwards.
Still, what LabVIEW version do you have. Did you set the "run when openend" setting in the application builder for the desired VI or just in the VI itself?
LabVIEW Champion . Do more with less code and in less time .

Firefox 29.0 still showing spinning wheel icon even though I stopped loading the page and the sign beside URL shows that loading has stopped. Is this a bug?

I have recently updated Firefox to 29.0. I generally keep lot of tabs pinned and whenever I open firefox I stop the unwanted pages from loading. With Firefox even after I stop loading pages, some of them still show the spinning wheel on the tab title. The spinning wheel is shown even though the sign beside the URL shows that the page stopped loading. Though there is technically no problem with this, its annoying to see so many spinning wheels for no reason.

Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings, disables most add-ons (extensions and themes).
If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:
*In Firefox 29.0 and above, click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click Help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
*In previous Firefox versions, click on the Firefox button at the top left of the Firefox window and click on ''Help'' (or click on ''Help'' in the Menu bar, if you don't have a Firefox button) then click on ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
* On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' <br>(you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode".<br>
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help others with the same problem.

Why does itunes say that my iphone has 9GB of video data even though I've deleted every video I've ever made

Hello,
When I use itunes on my macbook to view the contents of my iphone 5, the bar at the bottom of the window that shows me how much data is taken up for different categories says that I have 9 GB of video data. The thing is, I deleted all of the videos that I've ever recorded on my phone, but itunes still says I have 9.15 GB of video data! I ejected my iphone and plugged it back in multiple times to see if it was a problem with refreshing, but that didn't work. Itunes also says that I only have about 3 GB of free space left and when I go to the settings on my iphone, it says the same thing, so I know that there really are mysterious files on my iphone taking up 9 GB of space. Also, both itunes and my iphone says that I have 83 video files. I've deleted as much apps as I could, just incase there were apps that had video files included in them, but that didnt really work. I also opened the video app in utilitties on my iphone and it said that I do not have ANY videos. I don't really know what else to do.
Is there any way to just see all of the files on my iphone? Itunes does not let me do that. It only lets me view certain files from apps like adobe reader. I need to find out what video files itunes is detecting on my iphone. Again, I've deleted all of the videos that I made on the phone by using the photos app. I never downloaded video files from safari either.
Thanks in advance

since moving to the mac from windows, this seems to happen less. I also found that having some videos marked as "remember playback position" resulted in a lot of updates to the ipod when i had watched them through itunes.

Firefox will suddenly not open when I click the icon, even though I have used Firefox on this computer for several months with no issues.

I have always used Firefox with no problems but suddenly the window will not even open when I click the Firefox icon. No error windows appear either.

Hi pkuhne-
I am not sure why your Firefox stopped working all of a sudden. I would recommend uninstalling and then re-installing Firefox.
1) Get new download: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/
2) Uninstall your current Firefox version.
3) Do not remove personal data when you uninstall the current version.
Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
4) It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.
Hope that helps

Only hear background video footage even though I've adding recorded music

Hi, hopefully a simple one and down to user error!
I've shot video footage before and added music tracks with out problem. This time I tried to add a music file from iTunes but to a particluar part of some video footage, to find that only the background noise from the video footage is audible.
I've tried lowering the sound volume of the background noise and increasing the volume of the music track, I've tried extracting the background noise, cropping the background noise, muting the background noise, but nothing appears to work.
I'm using an old version of iMovie 3.03 on a iMac G4 running 10.3.9 but haven't encountered this problem before.
Is anyone able to assist?!
Thanks in advance
iMac Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Welcome to iMovie Discussions!
I'm trying (desperately) to remember the quirks of iMovie 3.0.3 (..well, in fact, I'm trying desperately to forget the quirks of iMovie 3.0.3..)
It's probably an incompatibility between the format in which your iTunes music has been saved, and the playback capabilities of the old iMovie, or the version of QuickTime which you're using. (Don't be tempted to simply upgrade QT, by the way, because some versions play better with various versions of iMovie than do others!)
iMovie seems to work best with .aiff files, rather than .mp3 or other formats in which iTunes can store songs.
If all else fails - and it may! - just burn the iTunes track onto a CD, then import the audio from the CD and drop that into your movie.

AVCHD CS6 no audio, only video. Even though movie and audio works when played in VLC

I import via media browser.
I have copied the entire memory card directory.
VLC will play may .mts files.
Adobe Premiere Pro cs6 will not play the audio
There is no audio on the timeline.
Why is that?
Please help me...

My iPad wont turn on and shows the charging battery icon even though the battery is charged

Any ideas?

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased.

Bought a new Ipod touch and the WiFi does not connect. Tried Reset and total Restore, does not connect to Router on DHCP, tried Static manually and still can not get it to connect even though it registers as connected.

Bought a new Ipod touch and the WiFi does not connect. Tried Reset and total Restore, does not connect to Router on DHCP, tried Static IP, Subnet, Router and DNS manually and still can not get it to connect even though it registers as connected. Using Airport for router, latest firmware, no problems with Iphone 4 or Macbook Pro or any other internet devices. After total Restore (factory settings) tried again, showed connected to router, but does not display "check" next to router but little rotating icon even though the wifi range signal shows connected at full strength and it says it is connected. Just can't seem to get it to generate an IP. Any solutions other than turning it on and off again? Not a Merry Christmas morning.

Ok, so, a couple of things: Denisefromwaleska and I have the exact same size/type/color iPod. Now wishing I'd bought the black one maybe...
Second, Airport is an Express and I have a second one that I carry with me when I travel. Tried to connect my Airport Express to the internet and could not although the iPod did recognize the router and tried to connect to the internet for some time, unlike my previous problem. Updated firmware on my travel router, still could not connect to the internet. Going to try to set up a manual Static IP on the travel router here in a few and conect through it although I predict the problem will persist. Back on the Christmas Present Airport Express router, it is back in play and working fine for all devices save the iPod.
Thanks again for all your help, hopefully I can get a solution in place soon,

Hi,
Check the iChat Menu > Preferences > Video Section > Bandwidth setting.
iChat needs to see a Minimum of 128kbps to do 1-1 chats in Video
For 3 and 4 way chats it needs 384kbps
Set the Bandwidth to 500kbps if it is set lower.
Also check the speed you are getting from your Internet supplier.

"That's why I'm wondering whether they still can fix it as lifetime guaranty or not?"
No, not lifetime.
