HI Andre19,
That looks like a XP Firewall still On.

It could be the ports in their modem are not open for the AIM application.

    Backup do not contaiuns music or apps, you will either need to resync them from your itunes computer, or you can go to purchase history in itunes or app store app and go to purchase history and redownload them.

    I have an iPod nano 6th generation and I downloaded 3 music videos but they won't play on my iPod. They only play on my laptop/iTunes. How can I get it to work? I know that my iPod should take music videos because there is a pre-made playlist called "Music videos". Can anyone help me please????

    You can sync the music videos, but they won't play on your 6G Nano, because it does not support video playback. Sorry.

  • I moved a iMovie video from a macPro to an IMac. In iMovie the option to export the video to media browser is greyed out, but the video is not listed on iDVD media. How can I get iDVD to find it or find a way to re-export it to media browser?

    I moved an iMovie from a MacPro to an iMac. In the iMovie share option Media browser is greyed out (It was previously shared to the Media b
    rowser on the MacPro). The video is not listed in the iDVD media list. How do I get it listed in iDVD or find a way to re-export it?

    Did you transfer a Quicktime movie files from the Mac Pro to your iMac?  If so make sure the video plays correctly in Quicktime Player.  If it does you can put it in your Movies folder and from there drag it into the open iDVD window being careful to avoid any drop zones.  It doesn't have to come from iMovie. You can just drag and drop into iDVD.

  • Has anyone tried to import video into iMovie from a DSLR camera?  I can't get it to work

    My problem is simple.... as should be the answer!
    I recently tried to import video from a dslr into iMovie but all I get is rubbish.  What am I doing wrong?
    HELP!

    The only simple answer  without more information is RTM for camera and iPad. You are in the iOS forum so you must be trying to input to an ipad. Tell us what camera, what video format and exact destination.

  • HT4623 Video isn't playing on my iPad. How do I get it to work?

    6.1.3

    Try closing all of the apps in the recents tray and then reboot the iPad and try a video again.
    Tap the home button once. Then tap the home button twice and the recents tray will appear at the bottom of the screen. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button twice to return to the home screen.
    Reboot 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.

  • HELP getting a communication error when trying to video chat using ichat

    I'm a new mac user so, please bear with me here. I am trying to video chat with an AIM user using ichat AV. I get the invite, accept it and then it is unable to completely connect. I am connected to the internet via airport using a cable modem (TWC) and a netgear rangemax wireless router.
    I've changed the ichat port to 443 because I was getting a connection failure to AIM and am now able to text chat but still unable to video. I've also changed the quicktime setting to 1.5mbps.
    Not sure what to do next. Please help.
    Thanks!

    sorry, it's taken me so long to get back in touch, I've been offline for a couple of days.
    Yes, the router is set up. Not sure what the model number is so, I've pulled a couple of numbers off the back hoping one of them might be the right number, one I know is the ip address for accessing the router, I'm including that just in case all else fails and you recognize it.

    192.168.1.1
    This just in though. It's working somewhat now. I was able to connect to my finace about 4 times who is using the latest version of AIM on a PC. During this time I received one error message which is pasted below. However, each time we connected he could see me but, I was unable to see him, he received a message saying that his camera was in use by another program. We are in the same house on the same router. Not sure if the two correlate but thought you might need all the info.
    Hope you can help. But it's probably the dumb PC.

  • Facebook and Google Video Chatting in iChat

    I added my facebook and google contacts into iChat the normal way and txt chat with them. But it won't let me video chat with them through iChat...the little button won't let me press it. How do i get it to work?

  • After years of owning all things Mac, I am finally trying to use iChat, and can't get it to work. I see my buddy, but all I can do is send a message--the video and audio chat icons are gray, as is inviting to a video chat under Buddies.

    After years of owning all things Mac, I am finally trying to use iChat, and can't get it to work. I am using gmail, and I see my buddy (no camera icon next to her name), but all I can do is send a message--the video and audio chat icons are gray, as is inviting to a video chat under Buddies. My buddy has the same problem as I.  We are able to do video chat through gmail, but I had hoped to use iChat.  I am using OS 10.6.8, iChat v. 5.0.3.  What am I missing?

    HI,
    iChat will Video chat to another iChat in a Jabber Buddy List (Google run a Jabber server for GoogleTalk)
    However it will not Video to the Web Page login to iGoogle or the Web Mail Page login.  (where people can Google Chat as it were in a  Web Browser).
    Nor does it video to the Google Talk Stand alone app for PCs or any other Jabber apps on any platform.
    iChat uses a connection Process called SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) which is also used by other VoIP devices.
    Jabber/XMPP invited the Jingle Protocol for Jabber Applications.
    Google have included this in their Standalone app and the Plug-in for Web Browsers on both PCs and Mac (you can get this as a Standalone Plug-in or as part of Chrome)
    More on this here  This article has been changed several time in the recent months.  It now claims a greater involvement by Google in writing the Jingle Library (Although now Google's version does not work with the others)
    This tends to mean that using the web Login to Google to Chat also cannot video chat to other Jabber apps that are using Jingle.
    If your Buddy is using iChat then check the Video Menu has two items to Enable Camera/Video chat and Microphone/Audio chats are ticked.
    In the View Menu the Show Status Items should be ticked (Selecting them toggles the tick and the function On or Off)
    It could be Internet speed but at this stage I would doubt this at this stage.

  • Can't video chat with iChat 6.0.1 with Verizon Fios modem,MI424WR.

    Can't video chat with iChat 6.0.1 with Verizon Fios modem, MI424WR. Get error "Router type is Restricted, Port Restricted, Symmetric, or Unknown." How do I configure the router? I have allowed iChat incoming connections in my Mac (10.7.2) firewall. GChat and Skype work fine.
    Thanks

    Hi.
    You have to configure Port Forwarding on the Verizon FIOS Modem Router for iChat.
    http://support.actiontec.com/doc_files/MI424WR_Rev._G_User_Manual_30.16.0_v1.pdf
    Excerpt from pages 109 & 110:
    "To set up basic port forwarding:
    1. Click the arrow next to “IP Address forward to or select from menu” to display  a menu and either enter the IP address of the item to port forward from, or choose an item from the drop-down menu (choose your machine by host name, since the internal ip address changes from time to time, after the lease time expires).
    2. Click the arrow next to “Application to forward...” and select a pre-configured application from the drop-down menu (if iChat is not present in the list, you'll have to set up Advanced Port Forwarding).
    3. Click Apply. The new port forwarding rule appears in the “Applied rules” table at the bottom of the screen. "
    " To set up advanced port forwarding (custom ports):
    1. Click the arrow next to “Application to forward...” and select Custom Ports from the drop-down menu.
    Con
    2. Enter the host name (from the drop-down list) or local IP address of the computer providing the service in the “Specify IP” text box. Note that only one local network computer can be assigned to provide a specific service or application.
    3. Click Advanced.
    4. Select the Internet protocol to be provided from the “Protocol” drop-down list.  Depending on the protocol selected, additional options appear in the screen.
    5. Select the connection with which this port forwarding rule will be active from the “WAN Connection Type” drop-down list.
    6. To select a port to forward communications to (this is optional), select “Specify” from the “Forward to Port” drop-down list, then, in the text box that appears, enter the port number. If no port is identified, select “Same as
    Incoming Port.”
    7. If this port will be active all the time, select “Always” from the “Schedule” drop-down list. If the rule will only be active at certain times, select “User Defined” and click Add. Then, add a schedule rule (for more details about
    schedule rules, see the “Advanced Settings” chapter of this manual).
    8. If source and destination ports need to be specified, select Specify from the drop-down menu list (by clicking on the appropriate arrow), then entering the port numbers.
    9. Click Apply to save the changes. The new port forwarding rule appears in the “Applied rules” table at the bottom of the screen."

    Good Luck.

    For iChat 3 and iChat and iChat Sharing (iChat 4) Forums
    This is for Mac users who are at either 10.4.11 or 10.5.6 and have Perian 1.1.3 Installed
    It does not seem PCC or Intel Specific.
    As Noted in the Question, the user can make a successful Video chat connection albeit without incoming Video being shown.
    The Connection Doctor from iChat Video menu says there is a incoming feed.
    Testing and work by Defcom proved this to be the Installation of Perian 1.1.3 from http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/video/perian_christopherforsythe.html
    Perian 1.1.3 (a Quicktime add-on that uses a System Preferences like Flip4Mac) causes problems in both iChat versions when the OS is at either 10.4.11 or 10.5.6
    This includes deliberate installs and automatic updates by the Preferences Panel (In System Preferences)
    The Solution
    Download and downgrade to Perian 1.1.2 and turn Off Auto Updates in the Preferences Panel
    Process
    Use the Un-install check box in the Perian Preference Pane panel.

  • How can I get all photos from the camera roll onto the photo stream so they will share between iphone and ipad?

    How can I get all photos from the camera roll, and all new pictures taken, to get on the photostream so they can share between iphone and ipad?

    When turning PhotoStream on with photos available in the Camera Roll, only photos captured by the iPhone or saved on the iPhone are placed in the PhotoStream.
    For all photos that were in the Camera Roll prior to turning PhotoStream on, import the photos with your computer and add the photos to your PhotoStream on your computer.

    How can I get the phone numbers in contacts to appear with dashes between the first 3 numbers, the next 3 numbers, and the last 4 numbers?  Until very recently
    it did so.  Contacts on my macbook pro does show up this way.  I do have a mobile me account and in the past syncing was no problem.  What setting has changed?

    The phone number format as well as the date language and format and the time format are controlled by the Region Format setting. Go to Settings > General >International > Region Format.  When you change a region format, you can go back one page (to International) and see an example of the date/time/phone number format that your selected region format will produce.
