Screen sharing not working with eMac lab after 3.2 update

Screen sharing no longer functions after applying the 3.2 update in our eMac labs running 10.4.10 and PPC processors. However, it still functions in our iMac labs running 10.4.10 Intel processors. Before update, I was able to screen share with all the computers in the lab. After the update, I am only able to share with one single computer at a time. Not very useful anymore for teachers to use for demonstrating purposes at our school. It definately had something to do with the update since it was working moments before the update. Please help before I have to call Apple regarding this issue. Again, it only seems to affect screen sharing across PPC eMac computers, not Intel based computers.

Through much testing at our schools, we determined that the problem lies with the update and the admin machine running ARD. If the admin machine is less than a G5 (doesn't matter if it is intel or PPC), ARD will not screen share with multiple computers (more than 3 machines) at a time. If you have a G5 admin machine, you probably will not experience this problem. Apple has yet to contact our district regarding any options for fixing the problem. We are currently in the process of shuffling computers to make sure there is a G5 admin machine in every lab to run ARD. However, I still think Apple needs to recognize this as a problem with their update. Screen sharing is a great tool for teaching class and it is too bad that with the current 3.2 update, it breaks the ability to use it with "older" G4 macs. Hence, that is why your eMac screen sharing is not working anymore. I can only hope for a prompt update to ARD to remedy this situation.

Screen Sharing not working with "New" MacBooks

I have a problem. My friends just got the "New" MacBooks, and I have a white MacBook. I tried Screen Sharing with them, but it just does not work. We get audio for the first few seconds, but we never see the other persons screen. Anyone else have this issue, and if you have a "New" macbook, I would like to see if it would work with yours. My AIM Name for iChat is ckeboss

Hi,
This Motorola is a branded Netopia device (Motorola Own them now)
Default access info is near the top of this page
Turn the Firewall Off or to Low as Medium an High have things that interfere with iChat. (Make sure the Stateful Packet Inspection is OFF)
Check all the tabs across the top and the menus down the side of each page to see if it has UPnP (most likely in Local Network but could be anywhere)
The pics will show you if it is doing DHCP
The Airport settings are in Airport Utility and on the Internet iCon screen where it says "Share a Public IP" in the bottom drop down.

Video and Screen Sharing not working with new modem

I give up. Just replaced my old dead Motorola DSL modem with a new Motorola 2210-02 DSL Modem and now iChat video and screen sharing aren't working. I am running 10.5.7, have an Airport Extreme, and 2 computers with cameras (a G5 with an iSight, a Macbook Pro with built in camera) and both worked fine before the modem switch. iChat works, just not video or screen sharing. I have 3 or so friends that I used to be able to video chat with regularly before the modem swap. Spent 3 hours and $50.00 on Apple support with no results. Also talked with my provider (AT&T/Yahoo) and they were no help. Anyone?

Does any one have any luck getting screen sharing to work in Skype 2.x

Does any one have any luck getting screen sharing to work in Skype 2.x?

The current skype app works (makes calls) with iphone, ipod touch as well as the current ipad, per the description of the app. The ipad is obviously not going to be able to make video calls, but I know the iphone 4 can make video calls to a PC through skype. Works really well too. Im assuming that with the ipad 2 you should be able to make video calls as you can with iphone / ipod touch.

I have recently upgraded my iMac Intel G5 iSight to OS 10.6.8 and now the internal mic does not work with skype or facebook. I can here static when playing back clips. Do I need to update firmware or reload old sys parts

I have recently upgraded my iMac Intel G5 iSight (iMac5,1) to OS 10.6.8 and now the internal mic does not work with skype or facebook. I can here static when playing back clips. Do I need to update firmware or reload old system parts. I have zapped PRAM. The blue indicator in system audio panel will appear for a second as I slide the bar for internal mic but then it disappears. Is there a fix?

The sound seems very faint but can here static on playback.

HT1338 why is the video not working with skype on this os

why is the video not working with skype on this os

Try this:
Quit Skype.
Click on the desktop so Finder is active. Hold the option key down and click on Go in the menu bar.
In the drop down, select Library.
Open the Library folder and scroll down to Preferences.
In that folder, there is a file called com.skype.skype.plist. Trash that file.
Now try Skype.

My camera works with the photobooth and with skype but does not work with online applications such as "lolcam from facebook" or "faceonthehole" application. Please help

My camera works with the photobooth and with skype but does not work with other applications like the "lolcam" from facebook or the " faceonthe hole" application. Can anyone help?

There was a issue with school computers being used to spy on kids in their bedrooms, Mac's were involved.
So Apple most likely tightened the API's to only select, trustworthy companies as not to abuse the web cam access priviledge.
If you want to use a web cam with these other programs and services, you'll likely have to buy a third party USB one, so you can manually disconnect it.
There isn't a way to physcially disconnect the built in web cam on Mac's without busting open the machine.

Built-in iSight will not work with Skype

I have a new Macbook Pro that I purchased about a month ago, running OS
X 10.5.8.
I've been using Skype to video chat, and at first everything was working
very well. In the middle of a chat, however, the video stopped working
altogether.
If I go to the video tab in Skype preferences, the camera will then turn
on and I can see myself, but once I go back to the call, the camera
won't turn on (the green light on my camera stays off too). In video
preferences I have the following options checked: Enable Skype Video,
Automatically receive video from: People in my Contact list, and Show
that I have video to: People in my contact list. I have also tried to
enable the "Start my video automatically" option but to no avail. The
video camera it is set to use is the Built-in iSight.
I have tried reinstalling skype, including deleting all the preference
files on the computer, but that did not help.
The video works fine in other applications such as Photobooth, iMovie and Google Chat. I have browsed through the many Skype forum posts about similar issues, as well as Apple forums and have tried every fix that people have suggested including resetting my SMC, updating all my applications, trying Skype under different user accounts, reinstalling Quicktime, reinstalling Skype (as outlined in the Uninstall guide for mac), repairing permissions, etc.
I am pretty sure that this problem began directly after I switched to
SCREEN SHARING during a video chat. When I switched back to Video, it
did not work.
No other applications that use my camera are running.
I am assuming that since it originally worked with Skype, and since I had not touched ANY of the options in Skype and have done nothing other than try screen sharing, and since I did a complete Skype reinstall includeing preferences, that the problem should NOT be with the Skype program itself, but rather something that was modified in the operating system configuration during screen sharing.
The only other thing I can think of trying is to reinstall iSight, although I haven't been able to figure out how to do that, or to reinstall my entire operating system, which I don't see as an acceptable solution.
I am using Skype Version 2.8.0.659
Any help getting this fixed would be greatly appreciated.
I have posted a similar topic in the Skype forums along with a screen shot of my Skype preferences window: http://forum.skype.com/index.php?showtopic=422861
From my online reading in both the Apple and Skype forums, it seems as though this is a relatively common problem. If I can find a solution from either Skype or Apple, I will post the solution in both of the forums.
Update: I just upgraded my OS to 10.6.1 and my camera started working again. Then, I was in a chat and I lost my internet connection. As soon as I got back online I restarted the conversation and the camera doesn't work again. This is getting to be ridiculous.
Thank you for your time,

Hi,
It is years since I tried Skype. (Probably in Tiger)
I use Little Snitch, a utility that can report the ports and IPS any App is trying to contact.
For Video chats it seems the Skype process spreads the load across many "Servers" wanting to connect to about 3 doz (I got fed up with clicking the accept Button)
For this reason I do not think it is very secure.
I only today read a post that said Skype had Screen Sharing.
iChat 5 makes it clear (well if you run /Applications/iChat.app/Contents/MacOS/iChat -errorLogLevel 7 In Terminal) that there is a "camera" setting for the Desktop which may be a forthcoming thing or is about produce the Screen Sharing pic. (i.e iChat lists two "cameras" in the log produced by the above Terminal command).
iChat 4 and 5 use the Apple Remote Desktop engine to do Screen Share as does the Screen Sharing App invoked from the Finders Go Menu > Go to Server and using VNC:// as the Link type.
I would have no idea what protocol Skype are using.
They created their own Video protocols and similar with SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) for Connecting to POTS (Plain Old Telephone Systems) Phones in disregard for Internationally agreed Standards.
I doubt that it makes use of the ARD engine. It will probably be a reinvention of the wheel again.
I took a look around the Skype web site but could not find any mention of how they are doing Screen Sharing.
I would guess it is similar to the iUSBCam method of Desktop as Video Feed.
Do the Console or System Log in Console (Applications/Utilities) have any messages about this ?

ISight Camera not working with Skype

Hi,
2 days ago my kids were skyping and everything was fine, then I turned off my iMac and the next day Skype wouldn't use my iSight Camera. In the settings it shows that it is using the iSight Camera but not picture! I made an update from skype but it didnt help. I restarted my computer, reinstalled skype nothing.
I am not a big pro with computers, so if you have an explanation, PLEASE be detailed in your explanation.
Thanks
Lucy

I know this is an older thread BUT I've been dealing with this issue for the past four days and this is what I found... (perhaps if it helps another person....)
Assuming you've already checked while on a Skype video call that your camera isn't turned off...
FIRSTLY
Open Skype Preferences to verify your settings.
(prob in your downloads, applications folder or on your desktop)
Then at the top your screen, next to the Apple Icon you should see Skype:
Select Skype, then scroll down to Preferences. Verify settings.
(Mine, for example, under the "Calls" Tab was set to autoanswer so I can check on
my dogs while away and tell them to get off the couch!)
SECONDLY
Make sure another apple app isn't hijacking your camera.
Open Finder, Devices, Applications, then look for IChat
Once open, Select iChat and scroll down to preferences.
(For my settings, I don't use IChat SO I changed the "default IM application" to Skype,
under General settings tab.)
Select the green Audio/Video Tab
and uncheck "Open IChat when external camera is on"
THIRDLY
I verified that all other Apps using the camera weren't open. My insight camera worked
when I opened Photobooth, IChat, Facetime and ICamSource (a monitoring program)
- just didn't work with Skype!
From Desktop, go to Apple Icon, select "Force Quit Finder", then scroll down and
close everything that uses the camera.
FINALLY
From Desktop, go to Apple Icon and select Restart (pic same as above).
Upon restarting, once the screen blanks out hold down the following keys all at once:
Option, Command and P and R keys.
For me, I heard the computer "restart song" chime twice before letting go.
(PRAM and NVRAM settings)

Re: post on Logitech C270 webcam not working with Skype

I am a windows 8.1 user and I'm using Skype 7.7 and it has all the updates that it needs as of right now and my Logitech C270 Webcam won't work with my Skype and only shows the loading screen. Can you explain to me why it won't work even if I've reinstalled Skype multiple times and restarted my computer as well? Thank you very much.

It seems that the latest Skype versions don't work with AMD Radeon R7 200 Series graphic card. Try to uninstall the currently installed version and install the 6.14.0.104 version using the download links provided here: http://community.skype.com/t5/Windows-desktop-client/ASUS-USB2-0-Webcam-not-recognized-by-Skype-6-18... Make sure to disable automatic updates:Tools -> Options -> Advanced -> Automatic updates ->Turn off automatic updates

Isight camera not working with skype on Win 7 Bootcamp

So I was happily running windows 7 (need it for work) on my MACBook (mid 2009) with Bootcamp 3.2 until a couple of weeks ago.
I updated something (either Skype or Bootcamp, etc) and all of a sudden, my iSight camera takes like 4-5 seconds to initialize, and the frame rates on the camera with Skype are like 1 new grab every 10-15 seconds.
Anyone run into this before?
Thanks,
Wes
