Safari 'No Video' message

Hope someone out there can help with this one. When I visit certain websites,in particular legal music sites and click on a link to download an mp3,a new small Safari window opens and a message appears revealing that the download I have selected is being prepared. Then,seconds later,the very same 'preparing download' window turns black, and in its centre is a message that reads '(No Video)'.Obviously the intended download now doesn't download at all!
I have ditched the Safari .plist file,restarted the Mac,switched off safari's pop-up blocker,allowed Java etc,yet still the said message appears. Similar annoyances with both OmniWeb and Opera browsers. However,there is no such problem using Camino.But Safari is my preferred choice of browser. Help,somebody,please!

If you have the ClickToFlash extension installed, that can prevent Flash based video from streaming. Safari > Preferences > Extensions
It can also be installed as a plugin in /Library/Internet-Plug-Ins.
Try uninstalling the currently installled Flash plugin (required for most YouTube content) then reinstall new > Troubleshoot Flash Player | Mac OS
From your Safari menu bar top of your screen click Safari > Preferences then select the Advanced tab.
Select: Show Develop menu in menu bar
Now from the menu bar click Develop > Empty Caches

Audio in video messages does not work

When I record a video message for someone, the audio does not work properly. It either doesn't work at all (silence is recorded), or cuts out after a 1-2 seconds. The problem seems to be confined to the MP4 video/audio encoder used by Skype for video messages.
My webcam (Logitech HD615) works properly when used for Skype calls (including the built in microphone), and when used in other applications. With other applications, I can also record videos and the audio is captured and encoded correctly. Although the problem does not seem to be the webcam, I have re-installled the webcam drivers and I have tried changing USB ports for the webcam.
I have re-installed the latest version of Skype and verified that Windows has the latest updates (I'm using Windows 7). I have tried re-booting a number of times when debugging this issue.
I have looked at the mp4 file that's created in the temp folder when Skype records the message - the audio is missing/broken regardless of what player I use. This, and the fact that the webcam works makes me believe that the problem is in the Skype use of the audio/video encoder, or the encoder itself.
Any ideas on how to solve this problem?
Thanks,
K.
Solved!

When you change the USB ports, make sure not to use USB 3.0 ports. I had a very similar issue with Logitech c920 webcam. Changing the port to USB 2.0 has solved the issue.

Safari and the messages app dissapered on my iPad.

Safari and the messages app dissapered on my iPad and I don't know what happened or how to get them back. The restrictions are off and I treys to search for them but they still didn't show up. I need help!

You cannot delete the preinstalled apps. nor can they be downloaded again. They have to be on the iPad.
How did you search for them? Did you swipe down from the middle of the home screen to get to the Spotlight Search field at the top of the screen?
Did you try a reset yet? It's like rebooting your computer and it resets the system.
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 if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

Where can I find a video message recorded using Skype on my iPhone 5?

I recorded a video message in Sype and would like to forward to someone else. I am hoping that since I used my iPhone to record the message that the message would have been saved somewhere on my phone. Thanks for any help or suggestions.

Using my ichat to video message non-MAC users

I have a macbook and have two (remote) family members who use Windows OS'. We are all new to video messaging but I have been impressed with what the short goes I have had on ichat.
Can anyone recommend any (video) webchat software that my family can download that will allow them to chat with me on ichat. I want to avoid downloading any additional webchat software given how good ichat seems. Needs to be free and easy to install.
Thanks

Why can you not leave a video message with Facetime?

Would love to be able to leave a video message for the person I'm calling on Facetime if they can't answer. Is this possible?

You can send email to anyone. Messaging (I'm assuming this is what you are talking about--the other party MUST have IOS5 on an Apple device) is different. Think of it as an add on or a plus. It means you can message with someone without using your texting allowance on phone for example. Face time is also Apple to Apple because its an add on. Otherwise you can use Skype for instance--and I don't quite understand what you mean about using it for email.
Email is totally usable for any email address. I've been emailing all over the world with Ipad for a year and 3/4.--same as emailing from any computer or phone. I just think you are misunderstanding face to face and Imessaging as opposed to regular email.

Need some help in saving video message from viber to my Iphone. I disabled the thing that would save photos and videos automatically then, there comes a video I want to save. After loading and watching it, I press the "save to gallery"

Need some help in saving video message from viber to my Iphone 5S with new ios 8's program . I disabled the thing that would save photos and videos automatically then, there comes a video I want to save. After loading and watching it, I press the "save to gallery" thing but it doesn't save in gallery. I tried all, restarting my phone, rebooting then turning on the save automatically thing and when I watch it again, it still wouldn't save.

Probably a good question to ask Viber or look at their support site.

Video Message not Sending

I sent my friend a video message, and for the past 24 hours it has been stuck at 99% and simply wont send. There has been no error message. I tried restarting Skype and restarting my computer. Now, the icon has even turned black and I'm starting to think it isn't even on the Skype server or anything... Also, is there any way for me to view the video while it's sending?

Ok so I found a way to send the video message.
For Windows users, follor this guy's tutorial.
http://www.petri.com/save-skype-video-messages.htm
For Mac users, the porcces is similar but finding the files can be a bit more difficult if you dont know exactly what to look for.
Start by downloading http://sourceforge.net/projects/sqlitebrowser/files/sqlitebrowser/3.4/sqlitebrowser-3.4.0.dmg/downlo...
We will use this program to open main.db which is located here: /Library/Application Support/Skype/*your skype username*/main.db
Open sqlitebrowser and drag the main.db file into it. This file contains all of your chat history.
Next click the "Browse Data" tab at the top. Select the "Table" dropdown menue and click on "VideoMessages". This will essentially give you a spreadsheet of all of the information for every video messege you have ever sent or recieved.
Scroll to the right and find the "author" collumn. Use this and the "creation_timestamp" column to help locate the video message you were trying to send.
Once found, you can see, in two other columns, the "local_path" and/or the "vod_path".
Since we are trying to resend a video message you created, we are going to use the local path. Double click on this. A window should appear with the path highlighted. However, we need to deselect the actualy .MOV file name. do this, then press Command-C.
Go to "Finder", "Go", and then "Go to Folder" and past the path into the text box. Press enter and the folder in which your video message is stored will appear. Reference the sqlightbrowser to find the exact name of you video message, and then copy your .MOV file to a more convenient location. You can then go back to skype and send the video message as a normal attatch ment.
Voila! You just resent your video message.

Video Message - brightness issue which needs resol...

Hello
I am currently running Skype 6.5.0.158 and using a Microsoft LifeCam Studio webcam. When using my webcam for normal calls, or even checking the Tools -> Options -> Video Settings, then I can see my picture perfectly fine - colours are vibrant etc.
However when I use the Video Message feature I see a very dark picture. It's like the brightness has been turned down. My room has all the lights on and there is a fair bit of light coming through the window. I've tested this with a Logitech webcam (not sure of the model) which appears to work without error.
Please see attached document with examples. And yes, I know it's a Shrek soft toy and that my webcam is in mirrored mode at certain points.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Thank-you.
James

I don't have that problem, but using the model before that one, I can tell you the camera settings can easily cause the issue. Microsoft Lifecams tend to have a "truecolor" option and several other "auto" settings. The best thing to try is to go into the "Video settings" - "Webcam Settings" in Skype and try toggling the settings and moving the sliders to a point where the video appears bright enough to you. See attachment.
I do know that the overlay software that comes with the camera does not work. You could also try 3rd party virtual camera software like "Manycam" (Manycam.com). I have used that software and selected the Manycam Virtual Camera dropdown in Skype to be able to use the overlay software and the Manycam software to add even more overlays successfully. You may also have better luck controlling the brightness in Manycam, if it doesn't seem to appear properly without it. Be aware when Manycam is running, the normal Lifecam drop-down will not work, until Manycam is closed.

Video Message Issue

Hello, guys! I have a bit of an issue with the new video message feature of Skype. That is, the option to send a video message is grayed out on every contact I have on Skype, but my friends can send me video messages and I can view them without any problems.
Skype version: 6.21.59.104 (searching for updates yields me that I have the latest version of Skype)
Operating system: Windows 7 Home Premium Service Pack 1 (100% legal)
Camera: Turbo-X 1080P Full HD with built-in microphone (functions perfectly during video calls)
Internet Speed: Average of 100Mbps if I remember correctly. Fairly fast and functional 100% of the time (I don't know if it is relevant)
Note: I have no Facebook or Live contacts on my contact list. I do not log in as Invisible. Some of my friends do, but the option is grayed out for everyone, not just those that are Invisible. The only personal modification I have done for Skype is to block the advertisments by blocking access to apps.skype.com through my Control Panel.
Solved!

It seems that everything you are telling me to do about video messaging is not working. Even going to the Help, About to check for the latest version of Skype is not working. I downloaded the latest version just in case. I want to send a video message but the instructions tell me to 1. Click on the contact and then 2. Click on the plus sign. When I click on the contact, I do not get a plus sign. I get a dialog box that has a paper clip beside it. I click on the paper clip and it has the "Send Video Message" there. I click on that and Skype tells me there is a problem. What do I need to do?
Help please. Thank you.
Most likely you are on the new Skype version with a different design of user interface.

Can't get video messaging to work on iPad Air

I have been able to use all the features of Skype on my iPad Air, except for Video Messaging. When I tap on my contact and select Video Messaging, I see 3 buttons. The middle button looks like the record button, but when I tap on it nothing happens. Thank you for any ideas.

Viber video message missing in camera roll

i just noticed that the video messages i received via viber does not play anymore even i saved it into my camera roll. i'm really upset because i thought they are already saved locally on my phone.
i keep on getting this message "please see attached"
i thought that after saving to camera roll everything should be there locally...

Thank you for your reply, sberman. Sadly your reply does not answer the question posed.
The device has cellular connection.
Sends sms. Sends emails. Sends photos via email.
What it does not do is send photos by sms, either from photo share or from the sms function.
Photo share - the sms icon is missing, other icons (eg mail, twitter, FB, etc) are all there and work, just the sms icon missing.
SMS - the camera icon in the sms window is greyed out and cannot be selected.
These two things together mean photos cannot be sms'd.
Guessing it is a setting somewhere, I can't find where or what.

Video messages failing in IOS7 everytime

Video messages failing in IOS7 everytime from my 4s. This never happened until i just updated to 7.02. I think this a bug that needs to be reported, i dont know how to do that.
What happens is when you try to send a vid attach message from the camera,you get a message failure everytime. You have to go in to messages and hit retry and then it works. Im using a 4s on at&t on my wireless, but it happens on 4g as well.
Apple needs to look into this.

Wait a bit, iMessage server might be having issue.
