Skype video won't work where as Facetime works

Can't do a video chat in skype. Video option doesn't show up in skype. When checked the preferences video is showing up in skype but can't initiate or receive a video chat. Facetime is also working.
Please help.

I think that it is a good reason for T-Mobile not so sell it, possibly ever. European users are a lot more patient and tolerant to things like that, but imagine T-Mobile selling this -- the return rate would be high, and in the end they might get slapped by a class action lawsuit from some greedy lawyer for selling a phone that has advertised features that simply don't work!
Only a year and a half ago, the original G1/Android phone - which is still sold by T-Mobile - was far, far more immature and limited in respect to both the hardware and software than the N900/Maemo. If you had been an early adopter of Android, Maemo now would seem totally amazing to you.
Nokia has never advertised video calling on the N900. But it's in the works. Support for #646#, etc. should be in the 1st firmware update which is in testing now and to be released soon.

Skype video won't work & Dialing #646# on T-mobile...

Hello,
I'm a recent new owner of the n900, but two things about it bother me.
First of all, I cannot seem to get the touted video call working through skype. It is a neat feature and I would like to use it. I have read other complain about the poor quality of the webcam, but I cannot seem to get it started, period. How is that done? I don't see any option to make a video call and / or start video during a call. Is it a defective phone, or is it something else?
Secondly, T-mobile lets you dial #646# in order to check your balance, yet the phone says this is an invalid number. Is there any workaround for this? Thanks!

Skype Installer Won't Work

No matter what I do the Skype installer won't work. I download it, but when I double click on it it brings up the "give permission" thing. I click yes, and then it does absolutely nothing.

Try to install the currently latest Skype 7.4.0.102 version using this installer:
http://download.skype.com/msi/SkypeSetup_7.4.0.102.msi

Any Skype Video that will work with the A1 ?

Is there a version of Skype Video that will work with the A1 ?
Moderator Note: Edited subject to match content.

Skype works wonderfully on the HTC Thunderbolt. The Tegra single core is just fine. It's not the chip, it's this device. As I've written as well, playback of any video is poor and any HD video is unwatchable. The phone plays HD video reasonably smoothly.
The Skype issue is the same - the app sees that it is video capable but cannot find the front facing camera (or any camera for that matter.) I'm surprised to find that video functions on this device don't work very well. Hopefully the company will be behind supporting this device. I'm surprised that it has Gingerbread only but you can't expect them to dump these out without having made sure they worked properly just for simple things that have worked properly on comparable devices.

Mbp 13"facebook video won't work

mbp 13"facebook video won't work. The window comes up but it won't let me allow it, it does nothing. Do I need a add in flash player or something?

well, thanks for suggestions ... but problem persists.
When starting ff in safe mode, some times i have video and sometimes i don't.
It is just like starting ff in ordinary mode - sometimes there is a problem with video and sometimes not.
However, the video problem occurs more times than when it goes ok.
I unticked the hardware acceleration box but it made no difference.
Also I have played around with all the add -ons and (only 4) extensions ,disabling and enabling them, to no effect.
The odd thing is that this video problem is not always consistent
- sometimes it occurs and sometimes it doesn't..
I have webroot anti-virus and it tells me that my laptop is clean.
There is no Video problem in chrome and IE.
.....A few times in the past, this problem occurred but things came right by themselves.
I have been a fan of ff for many years.

FaceTime does not connect, iChat video does not work, Skype video does not work (LION)

Hi everyone,
I am using OS X 10.7.3 2011 Macbook Pro 2.2 Ghz Intel Core I7 8GG 1333MHz DDR3 RAM 500GB HD.
What happens when I try to call someone in FaceTime: Webcam light is on and I see myself on my screen. It rings and after a while it says "X is not available for FaceTime (or similar).
In iChat I can text chat, but video calls do not work. In Skype, I can do audio talking, but when I try to use my video, it fails to connect.
This seems to indicate to me that there is a system-wide, rather than user or program-specific problem, in which my system cannot connect to others when using my webcam.
Can anyone offer any guidance on this matter? I am pretty tech savvy. On my home network I have tried port forwarding/opening and all that, without luck. I am worried that maybe I could have made a mistake in terminal or something some time ago, but I don't go in there very often and it is usually for very specific things.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am moving away for four months, and I really need this to work so that I can chat with my lovely girlfriend. Please see the notes below prior to commenting.
Cheers
Notes:
Internet is working fine. I use three different network, one of which is wired and works fine.
I have tried to create new users, still no luck
Webcam works fine in PhotoBooth
I am logged into FaceTime properly (this is simple, right?)
Reinstalling OS X to fix this problem is not an option
I have tried FaceTime with several people with several devices (e.g., iPad, iMac, iPhone)
FaceTime on my iPhone works with other people on same network

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of this exercise is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
Note: If FileVault is enabled under Mac OS X 10.7 or later, you can’t boot in safe mode.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

Three new Macs ... iChat video won't work over WAN

Hi,
We just bought two iMacs and a MBP, all running Leopard. We can iChat when in the same house on the same wireless network, but when we go back to our homes, it doesn't work. Below is the error. We can use Skype video no problem. iChat text works works fine. We've reinstalled iChat, matched or unmatched the font, reduced the bandwidth in iChat, etc. We haven't altered the router settings. Hope someone has a suggestion. Thanks.

We do agree that there is a good possibility that the log that was posted is from a Bonjour (ie; local) iChat session.
The 192.168.1.x subnet is part of an address block assigned by the authorized addressing body as Private addresses. They should not be advertised on the public Internet and are NOT routeable across the public Internet. Also, when you mention other logs in these discussions, aren't most of the logs and/or discussions here of scenarios when something does not work ?? Can you refer to a known, good, working iChat video-chat log going across a WAN/Internet (not a local LAN or Bonjour) that shows both the To: and From: IP addresses as 192.168.x.x ? The bottom line is if the actual transmitted SIP:invite packet (not some possibly inaccurate Log message) has a 192.168.1.x address as the destination IP, I do not think it will work. Some of the Logs that iChat provides do some processing or filtering such that I am not sure that it is an actual packet capture/decode.
Again, I am certainly open to learning something, but my understanding is if the packet put onto the wire is destined to be routed across the Internet to another user behind a NAT router, a destination IP (or a To: address) of 192.168.1.x will not work.
The process when going across the Internet , as I understand, is very simple;
- login to OSCAR server on "typical" port 5190
- after OSCAR authentication, login to BOS server, get Buddy List, "self info" such as publicly visible IP address, etc...
- initiate Chat request to a Buddy (example userB)
- send Chat request message to BOS server requesting Chat with userB, still on port 5190. Chat request includes data indicating the userA public IP address and public SIP signaling port number. UserA may have obtained this info via communication with the SNATMAP server, where it sends a message fom a private (ie; 192.168.x.x.) source IP address and private source port number to the SNATMAP server, which then sends back a message telling the userA what IP and Port were actually received...in other words, the publicly visible IP and port that the NAT router translated the private ones to. Typically the private ones would be 5060, 16384-16403..but others are possible.
- BOS server relays Chat request to userB, including "rendez vous" data which has userA IP address and SIP signalling port number.
- UserB may send back a message via the BOS server to the userA indicating its public IP and public SIP signaling port number as well.
- One end can now initiate the SIP:invite message with the Destination IP and port# equal to the PUBLIC IP/port that was sent in the Chat request
- The public port# should be open since the userA/B would have sent messages to the SNATMAP server so as the "open" the port on the NAT router.
- The SIP:invite message will have an SDP section that will indicate which port numbers to use for Audio, Video, Audio Contol, ad Video Control. Again, these should be the "publicly" visible (ie; Internet side of the NAT router) ports as learned via SNATMAP (or other methods such as UPnP..). The internal values for these ports are typically 16384,16385,16386,16387 for Tiger and 16402 for Leopard. The publicly visible values depend on the specific NAT router and how it translates internal address/port numbers.
- Once each end receives the SIP:invite and SIP:ok with the SDP session parameters, they will negotiate audio, video, etc..parameters..and if they agree, it should work.
The key n all of this is to get the correct SIP signaling port number, and then the correct SDP session attributes which include the A/V and A/V control (ie; RTP, RTCP) port numbers. And, finally these must be public, Internet routeable addresses in order to work across the Internet.

How come my video won't work?...after I downloaded Os x mountain lion?

I Downloaded the Os x Mountain lion and now my video does not work when I make a video call on Skype. Please help.

This one is easy. The shortcut is for the old iTunes, that is why it won't work.
I assume you are using Windows.
If so, go to the bottom left of your screen and click the start button. Go up to programs and hold your cursor over it. A list of all your programs should pop up to the right. Move the curso over to iTunes. There should be an "about iTunes" and an iTunes logo there. Right click on the iTunes logo and click create shortcut (you can also just drag it out to your desktop). That will give you a desktop shortcut for your new version.

I have recently updated my Apple TV (gen 2) and now Airplay video won't work. I can hear the audio, but no video. I have unplugged, replugged, restarted. Help! This problem is all post-upgrade.

First time using this site; not sure if I'm doing it right.
My apple tv which has always worked beautifully is not picking up airplay from my ipad. It is picking up the audio, and it will certainly do that "mirroring" thing where you watch a grainy computer screen on your tv, but it won't work the way it used to. Any help? I have plugged and unplugged, reset and restarted everthing to no avail. Icons are available, I see the apple tv option on all devices but it just won't do it's thing. Help!
Thanks, everyone, in advance.

Hi, sitzmark128.
Sometimes a simple power cycle of your your wireless network can resolve some AirPlay issues. I would also recommend closing any open applications in multitasking and restarting the device. If unfamiliar with multitasking, I have included a screenshot on how to process an application close.
If the issue persists after processing these steps, see the article below.

Embedded video won't work on windows machine....

A friend has asked me to post video on a webpage so I initially put the m4v video on a "movie" page in iweb, published the video. While it plays fine on my mac, it won't work when accessed via a pc. So my next thought was to publish the video to Blip Tv and then embed the code for the flash converted video into iweb. I did this using the insert html snippet function in iWeb. Again, it works fine from my mac but won't load when using a pc. Here's an example:
http://web.me.com/dgmeyer/LAX/TEST_MOVIE.html
Any idea why this isn't working??? THanks.

I did the flash video version using Blip TV which I guess is similar to you tube. Once completed, the site offers the code needed to embed the video into a website-- which is what I did and initially, the video wouldn't play in the Internet Explorer environment. Once I downloaded the latest flash player, it worked however it would be nice if there was a way to include the code for the appropriate flash player with the video -- is that possible? Can you self host flash video on a .mac/me account? Thanks for your help.
