No video in ichat, but video in other apps

Hi,
I have a firewire DV camera that I use as a webcam. It has always worked with iChat in the past. Recently, it hasnt been working with ichat. It is detected by iChat, meaning that it shows that I have a video chat icon next to my name. However, when I click on the video preview, all I see is a black screen with no sound. Video shows up fine in other apps though. For example, If I use quicktime and make a new video recording, I get crystal clear video from my camera. Any ideas? Thanks.

i am using the front one. Again, the computer knows the camera is plugged in. In quicktime it displays video perfectly. However in other apps, such as final cut pro and ichat no video shows up. I am thoroughly confused.

Whenever, I have pages open or any other app I press the home button twice, and then I swipe to the right and obtain the menu that allows me to alter brightness or sound. At this point I press play and nothing works. However, once I go back to my youtube page, and press the play button then it works. If anyone could help me that would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much.

just click the serial number in itunes ... geeze... just kidding
you might be able to find it on the mac...
in finder do your username under places then library then application support then MobileSync then Backups
the shortest folder name should be the UDID
of course that assumes it ever made a backup...
if it made more than one there will be some -date-blah on the end...

Error message?

Colors in Photoshop all wrong but OK in other apps. (For example "Whites appear yellow.")

Q: The colors in Photoshop are all wrong. They have a neon look or are discolored with a blue, red, green or Yellow cast. I look at the same pictures in other applications and they look just fine. How do I fix this?
A: Recalibrate your monitor using Adobe Gamma (OS9) or the Displays Control in System Preferences (OSX). Photoshop uses your monitor profile to display your images other apps don't. Be sure you start the recalibration using a fresh monitor profile (sRGB or the profile that came with your monitor for example). If you try to recalibrate using the old corrupt profile you will still have a corrupt monitor profile and your color will still be bad. Also, if you are using OS 9 make sure you are using ColorSync 3.0.4. The 3.0.4 patch is available on the Apple web site.
See also support document 319456, "Colors Are Incorrect (For example White Appears Yellow)" at http://www.adobe.com/support/techdocs/319456.html. The document is for Windows, but it may be useful for Macintosh.
Here is another link to monitor calibration http://www.gballard.net/psd/colorlooksbad.html

Thanks. But it looks like in all my frustration, I wasn't sure my original call for help had posted, so must have submitted the same question again.
But I just had a new thought on the problem. While reviewing a story I received from another website, I noticed that the photos attached to the article looked a lot like what I described in my message. It made me wonder if I have a software problem at all . . . or if it's the screen on my Mac that needs recalibration!
It only took 2 minutes to find a website that discussed it — with sample screens to help determine if that was what I'm dealing with. Since a screen supposedly showing a mix of numbered, grey boxes looked totally white to me and I could only see the white numbers on a screen that supposedly contained boxes in varying shades of black, I think I might be on the right track. Just not sure, since I had to reach the bottom of the page before spotting the pitch for a product that supposedly will recalibrate for me. I'm not sure I want to tackle recalibration on my own, but may call the Mac Geniuses at our local mall and see if my hunch is right . . .and if so, what they would charge to do it for me.
BTW, if it sounds like a calibration problem, do you think moving my computer from one desk top another (just 5 feet away) could have caused it? I'm not sure, since it wasn't on my mind at the time, but I think that's roughly when I first started to notice discrepancies in color.

Can't buy gems in clash if clans but can in other apps

I had my iPad stolen three weeks ago and now have the replacement. All restored ok except in the app "clash of clans" I can't purchase gems. This intermittently has worked but mostly not. The obvious like passwords etc is not a problem as I can buy stuff in other apps and the downloads from App Store etc all work. I had a ticket with supercell (the company who makes coc) but they are not getting anything from apple to trigger the gem purchase. The message I get is to contact iTunes support but having tried that, I got told to talk to supercell.
My understanding if in app purchases is that the transaction is completely with apple until the money has changed hands, then the app owner gets notified to send me my "goods". Therefore, there should be some type of exception report.
Anyone else had the problem?

MBA connected to iPhone4 Personal Hotspot, but safari and other apps don't have internet connect

My new MBA is connected to my iPhone4 (show 1 connection), but when using Safari and other Apps, it always time out or display error message "no internet connect". Please assist. Thank you.

Do you have a program such as "Little Snitch" installed? If so, are its settings allowing the applications to connect?

Accessing videos from other apps

I have two questions concerning videos.
1) I have videos that I transferred using iTunes from my computer to my iPad and videos that I downloaded using a free video app. The native Apple video app can't see the downloaded videos and conversely the free video app can't see the videos I transferred via iTurns sync. Is there a way to make a video app see all videos regardless of how it got loaded on the iPad? All videos are in the mp4 format.
2) How can I load avi videos from my computer onto my iPad? iTunes doesn't seem to recognize this video format. Using iCloud isn't a great option for me since my wifi is slow.

1) you'll need to use iTunes on your computer to bridge the gap between your two apps. Use iTUnes to make the downloaded ones visible in the video tab and vice versa (Since you can download I'm going to guess there is some sort of data transfer option to the video app.) You could also look into something like dropbox, see if you can uplaod them and download them into the right apps (although that may not work since the video app is pretty closed in to iTunes.)
2) convert those avi's to mp4's. There are free programs out there. For a PC, Format Factory, for PC and Mac, mpegstreamclip, both should convert. then you can use iTunes to move those converted videos into your video app.

Safari problems. not updating java or adobe flash. now lost sound in youtube videos.   other apps and programs are fine as is Chrome.

How do I remove and reload safari?   Do I have to reload the operating system?

Install Flash Player in Safe Mode.
Shut down the computer.
Press the power button. Immediately after you hear the startup sound, press and hold the Shift key.
The Shift key should be pressed as soon as possible after startup,but not before the startup sound.
Release the Shift key when you see the Apple logo on the screen. Startup will take longer than usual.
Login to your account. Launch Safari.
Install Adobe Flash Player.
Type in this address in Safari address bar manually.
    http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
Install Adobe Flash Player.
Once done, quit Safari and restart the computer from  in the menu bar.
Once back in to the normal mode, make sure that plug-ins are allowed.
Safari > Preferences > Security > Allow Plug-ins.

Safari 5.1.7, OSX 10.7.4, can't print from Safari but can from other apps

I recently upgraded the Safari program as well as the recent OSX update.
I also upgraded Adobe reader from 8.0 to Adobe Reader X and removed Reader 8 by dragging it to the trash.
Now the Safari print dialog displays "No Printer Selected" and will not allow a printer to be selected. I do get a PDE error that says that the AdobePDFPDE800 bundle isn't working. But I've no clue how to access and delete it.
The printer is a Ricoh Aficio CL4000DN. PPD's have been reinstalled today.
The is NO PROBLEM printing from any other application. All Apple aplications other than Safari print as well as applications from other companies.
any ideas?

Unless you really need Reader, I suggest you uninstall it according to Adobe's instructions. It's dreadful. If you do need it, ask for help in the Adobe user forums.

Hi...
The is NO PROBLEM printing from any other application.
Good to know. Narrows down the troubleshooting.
Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type this exactly as you see it here: /Library/Internet Plug-Ins
Click Go
Move the Adobe PDF browser (or just PDF browser) plugin to the Trash.
Now open System Preferences > Print & Scan > Print
If you don't see your printer on the left click + (plus). You may need to click the lock icon bottom left corner of the Print pane to make changes.
Now click: Open Print Queue
Delete any times in the queue.
Quit then relaunch Safari. Try printing...

Fonts showing up in Font Book, but not in other apps

This morning, while rummaging through Font Book for something new to use, I discovered that some of my (large) collection of fonts did not show up in various programs... meaning I never think of using them unless I'm actually rummaging through Font Book.
I got onto the Apple support forums and looked at why this might be. I discovered that some of my fonts, for various reasons, were only in the "User" folder, while some that were listed in "All Fonts" were NOT showing up in the User folder. Cleaning this up seemed like a good place to start. I quit Font Book and all other programs, went to /Library/Fonts and ~/Library/Fonts, and moved all the fonts in the User folder into the All folder, as suggested on some answers here. (In addition I changed my Font Book prefs so that new additions in the future will not go to the User folder, but to the main folder and be usable to all.)
Then, also following answers here,
—I did a Safe Mode reboot
—rebooted again out of Safe Mode
—removed font cache files through Terminal
—and finally checked Font Book.
The screen shot above shows that all fonts are under "All Fonts" now, instead of some showing up only under All and some, oddly, only under User, as it was before I started the cleanup. Nice and neat. There is no User folder anymore, and I assume that is because it has no contents—User gets what All gets. Seemed like everything worked.
So I opened one of the programs I use to take notes (Microsoft Entourage), just for a quick check...
... and discovered that some fonts which *have* always been usable, are now not showing up. (On the plus side, however, some of those fonts which had been hidden to me—ones that I discovered in my morning rummage—are showing up, so half of what I was aiming for is working.)
I read a few more support forum posts, and saw that some folks have success when they remove the fontbook .plist. So I did this as well, and checked everything again.
Font Book itself is still nice and neat, and appears to be complete, but Entourage and TextEdit, which I chose to be representatives of how this font cleanup is working in real programs, still do not show all my fonts. And stranger still, though most of their problems are the same, each of the programs also has different fonts which are or aren't showing up!! For instance: Aviano Slab, shown highlighted in the screenshot, isn't visible in either program, but Aviano Flare, right above it, is visible/usable in TextEdit but not visible/not usable in Entourage.
Now, to be clear, as far as I know all of my typefaces are currently showing up in Font Book, and about 95% of my fonts are visible in both Entourage and Text Edit, even though the 5% that's problematic is partially the same/ partially different in each. I hope I'm not going to have to open every single program I own to keep checking for variations—hopefully knowing that there *are* variations between programs will help someone to give me a suggestion.
If the 5% that don't work were the exact same, I was going to assume Mac voodoo. My lame workaround was going to be, to manually check my font folder against one program or the other, and copy every font that doesn't show up, back into the User folder. It would take quite a while, and there would be two copies, but at least the ones that are not visible to my programs would (hopefully?) be visible again.
But the ones that don't show up and therefore can't be used are not all the same. So this indicates worse voodoo, some sort of font management issue that I don't get, and it probably means I'd be at this check-and-copy thing forever with each and every program I use. Or, I could waste a lot of disk space, and copy all fonts to User. Ugh.
So I'm hoping that by laying out everything I *have* already tried this morning, someone will be able to spot a step I missed that will help me get Font Book to wrangle these darned typefaces better.
If Font Book *thinks* all fonts are now available to all users, how can I get my programs to agree—and get my programs also to "see" and let me use all of my fonts?
MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.5)
Font Book version 3

Okay!
So, should anyone else ever find themselves with this weird problem, here's what the rest of my day looked like—and yes, I did at last get the problems solved.
First I printed out a list of all my fonts (in the /Library/Fonts folder). Very long. Then I skimmed through the two programs standing in, hopefully, for every program, to try and see if something the problem fonts have in common would jump out at me.
One thing did: all of the "problem" fonts in TextEdit (the ones that didn't show up, in other words) were from a period when one of the type companies I use was automatically installing to a subfolder within the font folder (named with their company's name). Though TextEdit "sees" all the fonts in the Microsoft subfolder, apparently it can't handle other subfolders. So I removed all of these fonts from the company subfolder to the main /Fonts folder, and solved one problem. This problem, oddly, must have been there all along, but who uses a ton of fonts in TextEdit? So I didn't notice the problem until I was troubleshooting today, and thinking that was a nice neutral program to test things in.
But it did nothing for the problem in Entourage, which is where I began my day—even though *some* of Entourage's problem fonts were also in that subfolder, most were not, and the ones that were in that subfolder were still not made visible to Entourage by moving them out of it. So then I scrubbed the long, long list of fonts, looking for all the ones that were not visible in Entourage. Blech. That took a while.
When I got my complete list of missing fonts, I went back to Font Book and validated all of those fonts. I discovered that all but one, share one tiny problem: the "'name' table structure" error. (The final font did have a minor error in validation, but not that error.)
Now I didn't make a list early this morning, so I can't be sure that every one of these fonts was among the ones that started my attempt to clean up and make things right, but I'm assuming they are. I suppose it's possible that during the things I tried to fix the mess today, that one or two fonts actually started working on their own, but probably this list would be the same as one I could have made in the morning, back when I was young and innocent and thought I wouldn't need lists because it was all going to work with ease.
Before I got too excited, I then stopped and validated all the fonts I have. I wanted to make sure that this wasn't an error tons of fonts of mine have, in which case I had not located the problem. But in fact, only the typefaces I couldn't see in Entourage had this error. So I went back to the www to search for what to do about this error.
And in case anyone else needs to replicate my success, this is the site with the fix that worked for me on it:
http://www.iwebss.com/tech/540-fixing-fonts-with-validation-errors-on-mac
Skip down to where it says "Quick Instructions." Download the program suggested there, and do *exactly* what it says under Quick Instructions and no more (and please, make a folder with copies of any otfs or ttfs you need to do this with before you try the fix, in case it doesn't work for you as it did for me and you need to back up to the old versions).
One note: in those instructions, he doesn't mention that after "Save As," the program may hang up and give you a nasty message about access—just go to the Finder and do a Force Quit, no need to report, open the program again, and carry on. You haven't harmed the font or the program, and it does save before hanging up, so you can just go on to the next font in your list. For some miraculous reason, doing this does repair the "'name' table structure" error (and the error that the one odd font had as well!), and when I reopened Font Book, Entourage, and just for good measure, TextEdit, all of the fonts which had been plaguing me were perfectly visible and absolutely functional.
Thank you, Kurt, for your good ideas here and elsewhere on these forums. You were of great help to me today even before your answered this question. Though I was so deep in troubleshooting that I didn't get back to see your latest reply, I appreciate your taking the time to try to guess at this very odd hiccup.
Why this error bothers some programs and not others... why it's so easy to fix, with a simple program that you purposely use to make absolutely no changes... who knows. But check your subfolders first, and if that's not the problem, try validating fonts and see if the "'name' table structure" error is at the root of your problems. Perhaps this will work for others.

Kensington mouse scroll will not work in firefox but does in other apps

In all other application my scroll works fine, but in Firefox it will not work. I have tried switching the settings and still got nothing. I also check for driver updates on the mouse driver but they are up to date.
Running XPSP3

hello phillbatts, the java plugin and javascript are two very different things: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Javascript_is_not_Java
if websites report that javascript is disabled, try the following: enter '''about:config''' into the firefox address bar (confirm the info message in case it shows up) & search for the preference named '''javascript.enabled'''. make sure that it is set to '''true''' and else double-click it in order to change its value.
if this doesn't help, please also make sure that you don't have any extensions (like noscript) installed, that might block the execution of javascript or other active content...
