No video on Skype

Hi I am running Mac Os 10.8.3 and have had no video on skype calls for a while on my macbook pro. camera say's its working but no video showing also today I tried my iphone for the skype call and that had no video either. Skype version on laptop is 6.4.0.833 and I checked in preferences and it is set to use the built in camera and I can see myself when I am in the Audio/Video preference pain. My iphone is running 4.8.0.324. Anyone got any idea's what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks
Linda

Try removing the app and adding it back. If that doesn't work
Try a Restart. 
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
 Resetting your settings
You can also try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered. You won't lose any data, but it takes time to enter all of the settings again.
Resetting your device
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Apple recommends this only if you are unable to restart it.
Or if this doesn't work and nobody else on the blog doesn't have a better idea you can contact Apple.

  • Video on skype not workin only in facetime and photo booth appears to be a common problem amongst user with a recently bought macbook air

    Video on skype not working. Only functioning in facetime and photo booth. Seems to be a common problem amongst users having bought a new macbook air recently. When you go to Preference and click on audio/video item video works but when clicking on another menue and returning to audio/videio picture is gone. Understand has something to do with a recent update von Apple (10.8.5... missing file for 32 bit version).
    Anybody there to give me an advice?
    Thanks.

    Wait until a fix is available from Apple or Skype.
    Best.

  • I have updated to Firefox 6 on OS Vista; since then I can't play YouTube videos, operate Skype or Real Player. How do I fix the problem successfully?

    YouTube videos seem to load for approximately a second before stopping... and then there is no progress at all. After upgrading to Firefox 6, I received a message saying that it is not compatible with Skype and Real Player (?) and that certain updates could therefore not be performed.
    With all due respect, what good is it to upgrade to the latest version of Firefox if popular applications like YouTube and Skype can't operate anymore? I desperately need to solve the problem - if there is no solution other than 'downgrading' to a previous version of Firefox, which version would that be?
    Thank you for your time and dedication in sourcing a solution in this regard.
    Regards
    ValleyMan

    Uninstall version 6, Google for a download site for version 5.1. Problem solved.

  • Problem with broadcasting video via Skype?

    I have a new 11 inch MBA and logged into a Skype session and got audio, though it would not broadcast video of me. I logged out and logged back into a new session with the same result, I had to enter a Skype session with my Macbook Pro because it wouldn't work.
    Anyone have any ideas on this?

  • Bad quality audio and video with Skype

    Hi,
    while making a Skype video call via WiFi using my Z1 Compact my conversion partner complained about the bad audio (very low) and video (poor resolution) quality. I than changed to IPhone 4s from my wife and my conversion partner said the quality was much better.
    As I was using the same network the problem cannot lay on the connection.
    Is there a known sw bug using Skype on the Z1 Compact?
    My skype version: 4.9.0.45564.

    If you only have these issues regarding video and audio quality when using Skype then you would be best to speak with the developer of that application as they would keep their own records of such issues.

  • How can I setup video on Skype for ipad2?

    Just bought ipad2and installed Skype for it,i can have voice discution and I can see the person on the other end,but they can see me besides the pick I have on Skype, is there some setting that I need to change for me to get video conference?

    I'm a newbie on Apple.  I've had an iPhone since it debuted, but didn't get an iPad till June, 2012. I just bought an iMac desktop & am exploring it.  I was attracted to Keynote 9, but when I lecture, I need to be able to project my slides through a monitor provided by my host.  How do I get the Keynote slide show to display on a large monitor.  I can have it on my iPad, but that's not large enough to be seen in an auditorium.
    I admit my techie skills are poor.  I flunked Kindergarten & would flunk it again if I had to take it over. 
    I can't figure out how to display Keynote 9 slides on a monitor.  If Keynote could be transferred to a thumb drive, it could them be played on a monitor which has a USB port, but that, I gather, is impossible.  From the posts on this thread, I gather that many people just take their Mac Airs or Mac Pros with them when they speak, but I have a iMac 27" desktop.
    As great as Keynote looks, it won't work for me unless someone can figure out how to display it on a monitor.  Apparently, the iPhone can then act as a remote.

  • TS3274 Solution to no video using Skype with my I Pad mini

    Have you tried contacting the developer?

  • Odd Vertical Lines on Video Apps (Skype, Safari, etc.)

    It may be nothing to be concerned about, and its not really annoying or anything, but I just want to make sure this isn't part of a bigger issue.
    Sometimes when I am on Skype or watching a video on Safari, these grayish lines (almost looks like static) will appear for about a second and then go away. It almost looks like static sort of. Its kind of hard to describe, but so far I have only noticed it in windows that have video, maybe it is flash related? It happens maybe once every half an hour or so, and it is so quick that I really can't take a screen shot or anything.
    Its not really an annoyance, but I am just wondering what might be causing it. Anything to be worried about?

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    I wish I had better news for you, but you may be on to something. We had two non-Apple LCDs come into my office both of which had vertical lines. It turned out both had power inverter problems. I would try to contact the shipper and whoever had it originally to let them know what happened.
    Good luck!

  • I can't get video with Skype. Any solutions?

    I have a new MBP and when calling with skype,  the people on the other end do not get a video picture.  I have gone through the prefernces process to select the camera and have it start when I make a call but to no avail.  Any suggestions?  Face time is not an option since the others do not have mac.  Thanks.

    Ended up resetting the prefences in Skype then closing Skype and reopening it and all is well.  Thanks.

  • Using ichat video with Skype friends

    Please can you help?
    Using my system ichat audio and video Mac to Mac works well. (My AIM screen name is [email protected]) Using Skype audio with Microsoft friends works well too. (My AIM screen name is xxxx_xxxx)
    I cannot make ichat video work with my Microsoft friends who are using Skype video.
    I have set up my Microsoft Skype friends in ichat buddies but they are never shown on line when I know they are there because I can see the using Skype.
    If I change my ichat AIM screen name to xxxx_xxxx and re log on in ichat I consistently receive the following error message “Could not connect to AIM. Try again. The server message was Auth:BadDbStatus”
    Apologies if there is a simple answer but I have just lost the plot with this now! Thanks in advance...
    Power Book G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9) I have an isight webcam, ichat AV 2.1 (v153) and I have downloaded Skype version 1.4.0.35.

    Do you use your iSite camera (just the microphone / speaker) when chatting through Skype to your Microsoft friends ? This is what I'm setting up now and need help !
    I'm having a conference in my office and my business partner is overseas and would like to be included in the conversation. Just by using the speaker and microphone on the iSite via Skype's system, will this work ?
    cheers in advance !
