Video chat does not work.

Ive read countless posts and mine sounds about the same as everyone else's except one thing.
I just bought a brand new Macbook last week. I do not have a .Mac account so I use my AIM screen name. My boyfriend also has a brand new Macbook but his is a Macbook Pro. I do not know alot of about internet connections and all of that but we both have wireless. He uses 'linksys' and I use a connection that is set under my last name. This is the thing that is different from everyone else. Every post Ive read, people are using linksys. When I try to switch to linksys, I lose my connection so I figure I should just keep using the connection under my last name. My mom also has wireless internet in her computer but she uses a dell.
ANYWAY, the point is I cannot start a videochat with my boyfriend. He is able to connect with everyone else but me. When I try to start a video chat it says that I didn't respond, same goes for when he sends the invite.
If you need any more info, I would be happy to attempt to give it to you. I am not a pro with this Macbook because I have used a PC for about 10 years.

Hi 1956x,
It sounds like you are reading somewhere in System preferences > Network and possibly a Location setting in the first drop down.
After that if that guess is right you will ned to tell us more about the IP addresses and settings in the TCP/IP tab and what the device your computer is connected to ?
If that is a Linksys router we could do with knonwing how many computers are connected to the device and what modem it is connected as well.
We may need more info on the modem set up as well.

My Video chat is not working with messages.

When someone tries to send me an invite for a video chat the green light shows up but I do not receive and invitation window to accept it.
I am using an aim account on messages and my server settings are api.oscar.aol.com, port 443, and use SSL is checked.
In connection doctor is says my router type is port restricted and that "This computer's network setup includes one or more devices that are not fully compatible with audio and video chatting. I am not sure if this is the reason my video chat is not working.
If anyone can help me please let me know.

Hi,
Most routers can be accessed via Web Browser.
The IP shown in System Preferences > Network > Advanced Button > TCP/IP tab in the "Router IP" box is generally the one to use.
You also tend to need a User ID and Password.
Apple Base Stations are different in that they have an App in the Utilities folder that accesses the set up screens.
Your router can have different methods of opening the ports.
Port Forwarding
This tends to be the oldest of the methods.
Essentially you point a port to an IP (computer) to allow it.
A collection of ports may need to be entered one by one.
Once set up, only that computer can use those ports.
Port Triggering
This cuts down the number of ports set to be Open as it involves "listening" ports that then open further ports
iChat/Messages needs some ports to be open all the time and you set these a bit like Port Forwarding but with listing the IP to send the data to.
The A/V side can have a listening port (port 5678 for the Visible part of the Invite)
The advantage is that multiple computers can use the same ports.
DMZ (Demilitarised Zone)
This is an ON or Off setting (Enable/Disable)
It opens all the port (65535 of them) to one IP (i.e only one computer can use this.)
It is sort of like Port Forwarding Extreme
UPnP (Universal Plug 'n' Play)
A setting that allows the App to tell the router which ports to open.
This means the router can carry on doing DHCP and multiple computer can use the ports involved.
Where these setting are varies at least as much as there are manufacturers.
This is Linksys Port Forwarding (the arrows above the pic show the Others (it does not show DMZ)

Installed Premiere Pro CS4 but video display does not work?

I just got my copy of CS$. After installing Premiere I found two things that seem very wrong:
1) video display does not work, not even the little playback viewer next to improted film clips located on the project / sequence window. Audio works fine.
2) the UI is way too slow for my big beefy system.
My pc is a dual boot Vista-32 and XP system with 4GB of memory installed and nvidia geforce 280 graphics board with plenty of GPU power. The CS4 is installed on the Vista-32 partition. My windows XP partition on the same PC with Premiere CS2 works great and real fast.
Any ideas how to solve this CS4 install issue?
Ron

I would like to thank Dan, Hunt, and Haram:
The problem is now very clear to me. The problem only shows up with video footage imported into PP CS4 encoded with "MS Video 1" codec. So this seems to be a bug. The codec is very clearly called out and supported within various menues but video with this codec just will not play in any monitor or preview window. In addition the entire product looks horrible with respect to performance while PP CS4 trys its best to play the video. Audio will start playing after about 30 seconds. And once in awhile part of video shows up at the wrong magnification before blanking out again.
My suggestion to the Adobe team: fix the bug and add some sample footage to the next release so new installations can test their systems with known footage.

Satellite 1800-100: video-out does not work

He,
I just installed windows XP on my old Satellite 1800-100, but now my video-out does not work anymore. So I just downloaded the latest driver, but there's no way I can get it installed. According to Windows the new driver isn't newer, so it won't let me update it. And when i try to unistall the display driver, I have to reboot before it takes effect, and wile rebooting it automaticly installs the standard driver again.
Can anybody help me?
Greets,
Daan

Hi
Do you mean TV- out port or monitor port? As far as I know this unit is preinstalled with WXP Home and all drivers can be also used for WXP Pro.
Did you preinstall your own OS (non recovery image)?

Video Filter does not work.

Hello.
I have been using Final Cut Pro 4 for a while and it worked fine before. But recently, any function of Video Filter does not work. I apply them to the clip, but the image does not show any changes on Canvas.
Is the software's problem?
Thanks in advance.
Ying

For a reason unknown to me, FCP's preference files (there's 3 of them) will sometimes become corrupted and need to be trashed. Usually the symptoms are things just not working as they did earlier, or weird issues like the 3 Way Color Corrector looks different than before ... stuff like that.
FCP Rescue is a freeware app (yes, you'll need to download it) that will create a backup set of preferences, thereby retaining all of your settings. Then when (not IF, but when) FCP's preferences become corrupted, you can run FCP Rescue to replace the bad set with a fresh new set.
Otherwise you can delete the files yourself (make sure FCP isn't open at the time) and the next time you launch FCP, it will revert back to the factory settings.

Firefox 3.5: facebook chat does not work

After an update to firefox 3.5 the facebook chat does not work anymore. It says I should update to the current firefox version. With the mozilla binary everything works fine.
Someone with the same problem?

A more versatile solution (imho) than delving into about:config is to install the User Agent Switcher plugin found here
install that, restart, and then go to the User Agent Switcher icon, Choose "Edit User Agents..."
Click "Add" > "New User Agent" and it should give you the firefox agent by default. change it to:
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.1) Gecko/20090703 Firefox/3.5
(all i did was change Shiretoko to Firefox)
Name and save the agent, and then select it from the drop down and refresh facebook. works like a charm!
for extra credit, go to the User Agent Switcher icon, Choose "Edit User Agents..." and import this list:

Now you can spoof a bunch of browsers!

Facebook chat does not work... N9

facebook does not connect, does not extract the contacts , chat does not work . when you go to fix it ?

Is there anybody out there?
Another N9 User left at his own mercy.

Google talk video plugin does not work any more with Firefox 4. When clicking on the video chat icon, I am repeatedly asked to install the plugin, and it never works.

Google talk audio/video plugin used to work fine on Firefox 3, but does not work anymore on Firefox 4. Every time I click on the video chat icon on google talk, I am asked to install the plugin, even if I have already installed it before. The plugin works properly on the latest version of IE on the same PC.
Thanks for your help. I do not want to switch to Chrome or Opera, but if this bug is not fixed, I will have to.

Not sure if installing IE 9 did it or not but I now see the camera in IE, FF and Chrome. Could be Facebook fixed the problem also.
Thanks for the reply.

Video chatting is NOT working.. please HELP!

alright, this is driving me CRAZY!
my firewall is off on my mac and my router. all my ports are open 1-65535. this is driving me nuts.. why isn't video chatting working??!!? i am using leopard.

Ahh Comcast.
Go to iChat > Preferences > Video section and adjust the Bandwidth to 500k
Try 200 if this does not work.
The System Preferences > Quicktime Streaming should still be set at 1.5mb to get the best out of the connection (the Automatic returns only 384k to iChat)
Is this a MIMO device ?
Not good with iChat.
Are you sure you have the Model number correct ?
http://portforward.com/routers.htm
How are the ports opened anyway ?
is the Blocking of internet pings turned off in the Security tab/page
Are you using UPnP to open the ports ?

My video zoom does not work on my iphone or ipad after IOS 7.0.2 update.

After updating iPad and iPhone 4S to IOS7.0.2 the video zoom function does not work. I have also lost the function to zoom on video playback.

Is somebody from Apple monitoring these forums? I do have the same problem, i just recently noticed that the zoom in my video camera is no longer available since I upgraded my 4S iPhone to the newest version.

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!
Go to Solution.

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.

2nd video card does not work

I have a spare Mac Pro here so I decided to remove the video card and put it in the one I'm using. Both machines were purchased in '09 and use the same video card (ATI Radeon HD 2600). The two monitors I have hooked into the original video card work fine but the monitors I hooked into the newly placed video card are not working. Under the About This Mac specs >> PCI cards it shows up and says driver is installed. Is there anything special you need to do to get a second video card to work?
Thanks.

I tried the SMC reset. I removed the card and reseated it. I'm seating it in slot 2 because that's the only other one that is x16. The other slots 3-4 are x4. Still nothing is showing up. When I go to System Preferences >> Displays >> Detect Dispalys nothing happens. The two displays plugged into the original video card work fine but the newly installed on does not show up. Here is what the Mac Info is detecting. Maybe this makes sense to someone. Not sure what MSI is referring to and the second video card is reading as "display" instead of "ATI Radeon HD 2600". Link speed on the second card is half that of the original.
