No Video Icon

I just returned home from a year at college and am now using my home wireless network and for some reason when I now go on ichat, my video icon (the green icon used to begin a videochat) does not appear for others to see that I am capable of having a video conversation. Why is this happening all of a sudden? I'm capable of having a videochat and I can see others video icons. Thanks.

If you can see other's Video Icons that Show Video Status is On.
GO to the Video menu and make sure Camera Enabled is ticked.
(Although this would normally change everything to Audio icons unless that was off as well)
If you have two cameras attached then go to iChat > Preferences > Video section where an extra drop down will have appeared and make sure the right camera is chosen.
It would be worth using the Apple icon menu > About this Mac > More Info and launching the System Profiler to see if the system 'sees' the camera.
An Internal cam will appear in USB.

  • TS2972 I installed ios 7 today on my devices.  Not all my devices are letting me view my purchaced movies under the videos icon. All are under the same apple ID.

    Installed ios 7 on my iphone 5, my ipad 2, and my daughters iphone 4.  Home sharing and icloud are turned on on all devices but the only one that is allowing me to see all of my purchases in the cloud is my iphone 5.  It shows all my movies under the videos icon.  My other devices say No Content when I open the video icon. Any one else having these issues.

    This happened to me as well.  All of our purchased(icloud) content shows up on my husbands iPhone 5 and he can stream it wihtout any problems, but not on my iPhone 4s.  When first I installed it yesterday some of them showed up but it was missing most of our purchased content on my phone. I decided maybe it was a glitch that happened while updating so I did a soft reset holding my home and power button down.  That did not fix it so I restored my phone from the computer hoping that reinstalling the software would fix it.  When it was done I went in and there is no content now.  Before I atleast had partial content now there is nothing.  If I go to the itunes store it shows that I own them and if I click on a movie or tv episode the picture shows up in the left hand corner with a play icon on it but it will only let me play 1 episode  and none of the others work.  I am so frustrated!  I hope someone figures this out:)

  • How do i add a page to my website that includes a list of items for sale? We need to be able to add items, sort them and delete them? Each line item will have a video icon to view the items for sell.

    I'm building a website for a cattle broker who needs to post cattle lots for sale, which includes a description of the cattle(several bits of information) and a video of the cattle. This will be a list that can be sorted by key fields.

    would need to have a video icon/link associated with each record to show the buyer what the cattle look like prior to purchase.
    No problem Les, the video link could be included in any table cell in the same row as the associated data.
    The code for the first row in the example would look like
    <tr class=" odd">
    <td>1</td>
    <td>Z</td>
    <td>01-01-2006</td>
    <td>€ 5.00</td>
    <td><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kYalp3Wyw50">Video</a></td>
    </tr>
    This method assumes ongoing updates would be done by you, rather than the client.

  • I somehow can't do the video chat on ichat, I can see my self but i can't click on the video icon

    I just got my macbook pro and tried to yahoo messenger video chat,.. and it does not work . So i called the support line and they set me up with the ichat. but now the video icon will not even work, or i cant click on it. i can see myself but if i try to video chat i can not see the other person. what should i do

    Hi,
    Welcome to the    Support Communities
    So you downloaded Yahoo for Mac (Beta 3) and installed it.
    Presumably you set up the app to Broadcast your Video feed (and who could view it) ?
    You probably set up some Buddies and invited them to See your Video and have a Audio Chat ?
    (That's the Way Yahoo works)
    Can you be clear about which bit does not work please ?
    Check
    System Preferences > Security > Firewall
    If ON, then go to the Advanced Button
    In here "Allow Signed apps" should be Enabled (The phrase is actually longer and refers to Software rather than Apps)
    Also Yahoo must be in the List.
    Are you choosing to View their Video ?
    Can you hear them in the Audio Chat ?
    Is your router allowing Video for Yahoo (And Audio) ?
    If it is set to do UPnP then it should not need any other settings regarding Opening ports.
    iChat Video will only work iChat to iChat (The other end must have a Yahoo Account set up in iChat and it is effectively Mac to Mac for Video).
    Is this a Mac Buddy ?
    Are they Using iChat ?

  • I purchase a season of a tv show from I tunes. How di I move it to my video icon so I can watch it in flight?

    I Purchased a season of a tv show from I tunes. It sits in my I tunes purchased file. How do I move it to my video icon file so I can watch while in flight?

    If it shows in the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app then tap on the cloud icon next to it and it should start to download into the Videos app - if it says 'downloaded' against it in Purchased then it should already be in the Videos app.

    Try Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
    If that doesn't help, try Resetting the System Management Controller

  • Just a video icon in my N95 8GB Gallery

    Sometimes when i transfer a video in my N95.. and when i checked out my Gallery.. it only shows a video icon.. its suppose to have a picture (like the picture at the start of the video) does anyone know why is this? all of my other videos has a picture icon.. but i have one that dont have one.. help! is this a problem with the file conversion?

    Yes. Your phone can play MP4 files.If the phone does not recognize the file format or the codec it will not display the picture, instead you will see a slash on the icon.

  • Music& video Icon on Z10 vanished

    The music icon & video icon have vanished off my home screen.  How can I get them back?

    Do a battery pull, if still not there after restart, connect to Link software, backup the phone then do a factory reset, check if the icons are there, then do a full restore.

  • HT2729 Why doesn't video or podcasts appear after clicking the video icon on my iPad2?

    After clicking on the video icon nothing happens.  No video, no start page, no sound.  What are the possible causes?

    Try quitting the videos app completely and restart the iPad. Then try again.
    Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    If that doesn't work, try this.
    Swipe to the right from your first home screen to get to the iPad Spotlight search. Type in the name of any of your movies in the field at the top. When the movie appears in the search - tap on it and it should hopefully start to play. Let it play for a minute or so - hit done - go back to videos app and see if all is OK.

  • I do not see my music and videos icon....how do I make them appear?

    I do not see my music and videos icon....how do I make them appear?

    If you can't find the Music and Videos apps on any of your homescreens or app folders, then can you can't find them via the spotlight search screen (swipe your first home screen to the right) ?
    If not then have you tried a reset to see if you can find them after the iPad has restarted ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • Video Icon gives me a blank screen

    When I click on my video icon on my ipod touch, it gives me a blank screen.  However, if I click on the music icon and search for the video there, it works fine.  What is the problem?  Any help would be appreciated!  Thanks.

    Try a hard restart. Press and hold both the Home and Power buttons until the iPod restarts.

  • If a buddy's screename is faded (in the offline section), but a video icon is still next to the screename, and if you right click on the name "video chat" is an option, what does this mean? it is the only one on my whole list that has this.

    Hi,
    It could be some sort of "flagging" issue where either the AIM Servers have gone out of sync and you are getting two lots of info  (There are about three or four servers involved with getting data to your Buddy list)
    I can also see the possibility where you have a Contact in your Address Book who has two Screen Names.
    You have one in one group and in another they appear to be Off Line.  However iChat will still Link them and Show their Capabilities when you Right Click.
    One way of checking this is to double click them to open a Text Chat Window.
    At the top is the Recipients Bar  (See View Menu when  Text Chat is Open).
    This gives you the option to chose a different Buddy Name if the contact has two  (It offers To and From options if you both have Multiple Accounts).
    Pic of an Old Chat to someone with Multiple "Names"
    They have an @Mac.com name and  Jabber ID  (As it is an Old Chat the Jabber one is Off Line and their @mac.com name is currently "Away"
    You can see I have a Google and three AIM Logins I could use to Speak to them.

  • IChat AV mulit user Video Icon not coming up can't do multi video

    Help.
    I am trying to use the Multi video conference feature on iChat AV on different G5 dual processor machines but the multi video icon does not appear. My final goal is to host with the machine I am listed here and allow the other users to use theie G4 Power books.
    I have tried using Jabber, .Mac, and AIM accounts but none have given me the icon and/or allowed me to set up a multi video conference chat. I am also using all iSight cameras so the environment is pure Apple as it should be.
    Any help or show me to a discussion board?

    Hi Ralph,
    Good that your tables/annoucements begin to look quite good!
    About "the Cron scripts in the early hours",
    please have a read of this Tiger-updated info:
    you still need to run the "cron scripts" manually, once or twice a month is plenty, but there is an enhancement since 10.4.2 that allows to sleep at night, and meant to have the tasks automatically run. Not yet fully reliable though.

  • Missing video icon on playbook screen

    I have the camera and picture icon and can take videos with the camera but the video icon is missing ad I can't play the videos I've shot. I've checked all the folders-no video icon anywhere--HELP.

    Swipe from screen to screen to see if you moved it elsewhere on another screen. Look in folders as well.
    Do you have restrictions enabled? Settings>General>Restrictions>On. If you do, you may have age restricted content and that may have hidden the icon. I'm not real sure how that works because I don't use restrictions.
    If you can't find it any other way you can reset the home screen in Settings>General>Reset>Reset Home Screen layout. If you do this, you will return the home screen to the layout that it was when you first activated the iPad.
