Other Party Can See Pictures In Chat

Hi, I was wondering if somebody could help me. When chatting I receive the pictures the other party is sending but they can't see mine. I was wondering if there was anyway to fix this?

Hi,
There are several ways to Send Pics to a Buddy.
1) Dragging said Pic as a File to the Buddy List and dropping it in their Name.
This does not require any sort of Chat to be open and is worth checking that they can receive this way.  (it proves the basic concept works)
2) Probably the most common is to drag the Pic to the Text entry Field and let go.  Click once to "Un-highlight" it (they sometimes retains that blue edge glow to say they are highlighted)
Add Text if needed.
Press Enter to Send.
These should appear in the Chat itself and are Scalable by dragging the chat Window bigger.
(They can be dragged to other apps or the Desktop for "Storage")
3) During a Video Chat with someone then you can drag files to Share ove the Chat window.
It divides into two halfs offering to Send or to Share.  (Sharing a pic this way sends it as the Video Feed from your end. Depending on which version of iChat, what Processor you have will impact on what you see at your end - with most Intels it will be a bit like a Group Video chat with you sliding to one side, your Buddy staying On view and the Share having the majority of the window)
Sending works like the other two in that in some cases they will need to Accept.
Notes to help.
In iChat up to iChat 6 the default Login port for AIM logins was 5190 using the TCP Protocol.
File Sending is on the Same Port but UDP protocol.
This change is what causes the little grey message in iChat that says the Chat has become a Direct Chat.
(It may be at the top or between IMs once the chat is started)
Now this port does not need to be open for Outgoing stuff (so you buddy may be ending with it closed)
It does need to be open for Incoming stuff, hence he cannot accept if it is closed.
Most likely it is his router.
More so if he changed the default Login port to 443  (This is below a threshold on most routers where the ports are open).
If his router has it he should enable UPnP.
If he is still login in on port 5190 for any AIM login then it will pay to change those to port 443 as there are some routers that don't like this "Dual Use" of port 5190 even when doing UPnP.

  • When using facetime the other party can see us but not hear us

    When trying to use Facetime, we can see and hear the other people, but they can only see us.  Any suggestions or settings for us to check?

    Learn sign language?  
    Or
    Probably the first thing you want to do is close face time, then doulbe tap the home button to see the task bar... Touch and hold any of those icons until they jiggle, then close them all off by touching the minus sign.   Then reboot the pad by holding the sleep and home buttons until the apple logo appears.  Ignore the red slider. 
    Sometimes this reset fixes bugs.
    Then, confirm your mike is working.  Open any app that records things, and see if it hears you.  There have been some discussions about broken mikes.
    Then try it again.

  • Having upgraded iOS7 on both my iPad and iPhone yesterday, I am now not able to use my FaceTime on either device. I seem to get through and the other party can hear me but I can see nor hear nothing.

    Hi mduggan,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If the other person can't see you during a FaceTime call, first use the Camera app on the iPhone to make sure the camera is working properly. If you don't see an image when using the Camera app, try these troubleshooting steps first:
    If the screen shows a closed lens or black image, force quit the Camera app.
    Ensure the camera lens is clean and free from any obstructions. Use a microfiber polishing cloth to clean the lens.
    Cases can interfere with the camera and the flash. Try gently cleaning the lens with a clean dry cloth or removing the case if you see image or color-quality issues with photos.
    Try turning iPhone off and then back on.
    If your iPhone has a front and rear camera, try switching between them to verify if the issue persists on both.
    You can find these steps and more information here:
    iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
    If the camera is working normally, next troubleshoot FaceTime using the steps in this article:

    This is an annoying problem for many people. Most likely your dock connector (on the bottom where you plug in your phone) is dirty or screwed up and is probably just coincidence that it happened after you updated. Some people have had success cleaning the port with a dry clean tooth brush. There is a long discussion going on at the thread I linked below. Good luck...

  • Can't access iPhoto '08 library but can see pictures

    Greetings. I just upgraded from a PPC G5iMac running Tiger to a new iMac Intel running Snow Leopard. I backed up my computer using SuperDuper to an external hard drive. I reinstalled my pics by dragging the photo library to User/Pictures and replaced the iPhoto Library with my older copy of iPhoto '06 I was using. I didn't open iPhoto until I had done this. All the pictures, folders, events, etc are there and I can see them just fine. But I can't copy/paste or send pictures via email. The emails are blank. When I tried to copy/paste the message said that the files could be copied to this clipboard because they may have been deleted. My iPhoto is updated now to the latest version. Repairing the iPhoto Library had no effect. I tried to creat a new library but the iTunes library was grayed out as an option. I have read/write access so don't know what to do next. Thanks in advance!!

    Do not import one Library to another. You'll lose all your albums, events, keywords etc and end up with a mess od duplicates and triplicates.
    Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and right click on it. From the resulting menu select 'Show File (or 'Show Original File' if that's available). A Finder Window should open with the file selected. Does it?

  • I received 2emails with attachments 1st had pictures and music can see pictures but no music 2nd had words and commentary can not open attachment at all after downloading

    I received 2emails with attachments on both,  1st had pictures and music , can see the pictures but cannot hear music,  2nd had words and a commentary , cannot get either after downloading when I press the download a mail sign appears

    Depending on what kind of computer you have, you're gonna need to put that backup in the appropriate folder or itunes is not gonna be able to see it for you to use.

  • Can see pictures, but can't open any of them

    i can see the thumbnails of all my pictures, but when i click on them, they won't open. i get an error message that says that the file may be corrupt or a file type not recognized. when i double click on a picture, it tries to open it, but it never gets it open - it just thinks about it. i would think I may have deleted the photos, but when i get the info for the picture, it still looks like it is there. when i copy the picture to my desktop, it says that it is 0 kb.
    is there a way to open any of these files?

    when i copy the picture to my desktop, it says that it is 0 kb.
    These files are damaged or corrupted. Time to restore from your back up.

  • Can see pictures, but PSE 3.2 won't let me access them! Tech support could not help!

    I have been through customer service, both online and live.  I have been through tech support with Adobe, online and live.  They have given me unlock codes, none have worked.  When I enter them, it kicks me out of the program.  They have essentially told me there is no support for 3.2.  I can see all the jpg's of my pictures behind the registration box, but it will not let me access them.  They do not show up in any document or picture file outside Adobe so I can't access them there.  I am very suprised that tech support had no "backdoor" way for me to get into the program and access my pictures.  It is extremely disappointing.  Does anyone anywhere have any advice on how to get them out?  I downloaded 7.0 on trial and it can't transfer them over.  Please someone help...tech support essentially told me they are locked in 3.2 and cannot be accessed.

    Not sure if the problem is the unlocking code or something else, but I have a few tips that might get you around the problem.
    First, Starter Edition does not have any files 'in' it; it is an index of pictures that you've imported into the program. What gets imported is the path to the file, not the file itself. What you see in Starter Edition is a preview thumbnail of the file that was drawn at the time of import, but it's not the actual file.
    Some of the other data that you may have added after importing the file IS only accessible from within the program; stuff like captions, tags, and dates, if you've reassigned them. That information is stored in a catalog file, which can be imported into Photoshop Elements. More on that later.
    But it's important to understand that the files are not locked into the program in any way, other than the custom data that you added to it with Starter Edition. It also means that if you are needing to get at the files that you used to browse using Starter Edition, you will have to use Windows Explorer, or even Picasa (which works similarly to Starter Edition; as an index of files you have on your computer).
    The first strategy I would employ to find files is to look in My Pictures for files. If' you imported files using the Photo Downloader, then it might have copied files into a Digital Camera Photos folder. Browse there and see if they are in there. It is possible that you may have pointed the Photo Downloader to some other location for downloading photos, but that's an advanced feature, so look for the Digital Camera Photos folder. While you're there, look for any other suspicious folders in your My Pictures folder; who knows where files could have gone, but I'd dig through all the folders there, just as I would turn the house upside down to find my car keys. Hopefully, you will be able to successfully locate the files you used to see within Starter Edition.
    If you would like to carry forward all the tag info that you've added to the files using Starter Edition, you could import the Starter Edition catalog into  Photoshop Elements 8 (there is a risk-free trial that you can download from https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/tdrc/index.cfm?loc=en%5Fus&product=photoshop%5Felements).
    I am trying to help another customer who ran into a snag converting a catalog from version 2 of the program, but if you have 3.0 or 3.2, I can say I fully expect that to convert. Then you would have 30 days to try that out, and see if you would be willing to pay the $99 or so that it costs.
    If you don't want to pay, but you do want to save all that tag info that you've added to the file so that some other program could use it, you can select all your files in the Photoshop Elements Organizer, and use the Write Info to Files command to embed tag info to the files.
    Note that the Photoshop Elements Organizer works in the same basic way as the Starter Edition program; it indexes the files, but it doesn't copy any files INTO it. Also note that if you attempt to convert a catalog into Photoshop Elements, but the links to the pictures have been previously severed (as a result of moving the file from its original location), then the file will NOT be created in Organizer; it can only work with files that it finds.
    Since you mention that the program is crashing, if you still have the installer, you could try reinstalling; sometimes that helps, and if it's not a problem with the unlocking code, a new install might do the trick.
    Let me know if something doesn't add up; you should be able to preserve your catalog and import it into Photoshop Elements, even if you can't launch Starter Edition.

  • Nobody can see pictures I text them that come from the internet, even if I save them to my phone first. Why?

    I can see them just fine.  Any other pictures people can see just fine. It doesn't matter what website it is either. It's getting really old, really fast!!!

        handycrafts,
    Thank you for the additional information! What version of the Windows phone do you have? We want to make sure we make this pictures viewable. What type of message does the recipient receive when trying to view your picture?

  • Firefox will not allow me to view my own domains. Other people can see them.How do I get access?

    Every since I got my new computer, running windows 7, firefox will not allow me to see my own domains. If I unplug Netgar and plug directly into the Wild Blue modem, I can see them with IE or Chrome - but still not with Firefox.
    My Old computer, running XP can see my domains via the Netgear router. Computers running Vista cannot

    Hi cor-el,
    Thanks for the reply. I tried those things with no result. Then I followed the link you sent and found something that MIGHT be the answer if I can find someone to show me how to "send a ping" and "define the subnetmask."
    I have no idea what a subnetmask is, let alone how to define it!
    But I do feel that the problem has some connection to the router. My old computer has one IP address, while the 3 that won't work all share a different one.
    It would really help if I spoke "compuetreze," but I don't.
    Thanks again,
