Video with imac tiger

I have a daughter and she has windows xp with aim.
I have a 24" imac with the built in webcam, isight, with tiger.
We can type to one another, but when I invite for a video conference she can't seem to see me or can't see where to accept. I can see myself in the window.
What are doing wrong. Maybe somebody could add me on there ichat and help me out. Thank you

Arlene
What version of AIM is she using? If it's the latest, called Triton, it won't work with iChat. She needs AIM version 5.9 instead.
If that's not the problem, it might be something in your set-up.
You might fare better with Skype, which is much easier to set up and has full-screen video.

Capturing Video with iMac?

Hey!
We are somewhat new to mac's. I have an older video camera that stores to tape. The only output is VHS or a yellow RCA connector. With a PC I think I could pick up a cheap video capture card for as cheap as $50.
Is there some sort of similar USB or Firewire external capture card I could plug into the iMac?
Would I use software on the mac to import it with the capture card or the software that comes with the card?
Any help would be appreciated!
Thx,
Brent

Many miniDV cameras have a pass through facility for converting analogue to digital, if you have a friend who has one of these cameras you may end up paying for a few beers for borrowing it rather than $ 50 for a card.
However there are cards and external devices available to you as a mac user if you can't find a willing friend with such a camera.

Multi video possible with iMac G5

apple's ichat page says any G5 can initiate up to 4-way video conference
yet on my friends imac G5, ichat only shows the one way capable camera icon next to the user's name in the top of the window. and it gives the message that this computer cannot initate more than a 2-way chat
on my own dual 1ghz G4, i see the camera icon with the multi person accent, meaning i can initiate.
my friend's 1.8ghz imac G5 should be able to initiate 4-way video, right?
any one know why it can't?
its running OSX tiger 10.4.2
512 ram
DSL modem
iSight camera

Hello Steelee,
I do not often disagree with Bill, but I respectfully offer a different opinion here.
doesn't the iMac G5 1.8ghz make the cut for the first 2?
Yes it does. (I think, Bill ...) ANY G5 works.
The DP requirement only deals with G4 processor Macs.
However, in order to address your other concerns, I have a few questions about your initial post wherein you write:
... on my friends imac G5, ichat only shows the one way capable camera icon next to the user's name in the top of the window.
(my emphasis added.)
(0) By "on my friends imac G5", do you mean you are in the same room with your friend looking at the monitor of his actual G5?
(1) By "one way capable camera icon", do you mean the Flat Camera iCon rather than the Stacked Camera iCon?
(2) By "next to the user's name in the top of the window" do you mean next to your friend's display name in the upper (gray colored) border of your friend's Buddy List on his monitor on HIS G5 Mac?
If the answer to all three of these is "yes", your G5 friend should try the suggestions in Help for iChat AV 3 Problems.
If he does this and meets all the other requirements of Apple's System Requirements for iChat AV 3, his G5 should be able to host multi-party videos with other iChat AV 3 users who also meet the System Requirements.

Hi mshields1162,
Great question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
First, you may want to choose to have the sidebar displayed for familiarity:
iTunes 11: Frequently used features
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5649
Afterwards, your device should be displayed if connected:
We'll want to click on it, and choose the Music tab at the top. Let's make sure "Sync Music" is checked:
Afterwards, you'll have the option to sync either the entire music library (for your first iPod), or "Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres" (for the secondary device). Upon selecting this option, four larger option boxes will appear allowing you to pick and choose what content will be synced. For audiobooks, you may need to do the above in the "Books" section. For a visual instruction on how to do this, see the following:

Fastest and best external hard disks for video use with Imac?

What is the fastest and best external hard disks for video use with Imac (I believe it is currently not possible to use Esata on the Imac).

For DVCam. HDV etc, I'm a fan of the G-raid drives. From personal experience they
are very solid performers. I only had one issue with a new drive that was replaced
next day. They are not the cheapest drives to be found but the build quality
is excellent. Check out:

Can I video record with iMac?

Can I record video directly with the built-in iMac camera?
I am using OS X 10.8.3

You have different ways of recording video with the built-in camera:
1. Using Photo Booth. It's an application preinstalled with OS X where you can record videos.
2. Using QuickTime Player. As db24401 said, open it and go to File menu > New Movie Recording.
3. Use a third-party application. They include more features that you may want. I recommend Screenflow

How can I backup my iMac with a Tiger operating system?

I have an iMac with a Tiger operating system (10.4.11). I am intending to upgrade to Snow Leopard. When I spoke to an Apple representative, he said I should back up my computer before I upgraded to Leopard and then Snow Leopard as I could lose everything during the upgrade. This version of operating system (Tiger) does not have Time Machine. Can anyone tell me how I can back up everything before I do the upgrade?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
The best option is to use a third-party app. I recommend you to use Carbon Copy Cloner, but you can have a look for more applications.
You should keep all your files and applications after upgrading, but you should have a backup. Also, I think you should be able to upgrade to Snow Leopard directly without upgrading to Leopard

my iMac os lion 10.7.4 has jerky videos. I've tried YouTube videos with Safari and Google Chrome and the spinning globe appears and the video stops for a few seconds. I can't watch the white house weeklky address because it stops and starts every few seconds. The software is up to date. Just bought this thing in February 2012. Can anyone help me?

Contact Apple Service, iMac Service or Apple's Express Lane. Do note that if you have AppleCare's protection plan and you're within 50 miles (80 KM) of an Apple repair station, you're eligible for onsite repair since yours is a desktop machine. Might also apply to new machines w/o AppleCare.

With OS X Yosemite 10.10.1, cannot record video with the iMac's built-in FaceTime HD camera. Cannot find the "Import" button in the toolbar.

Just updated to OS X Yosemite 10.10.1 and cannot find the "Import" button in the toolbar to record video on my iMac's Face Time HD built-in camera. Trying to follow the steps found under "iMovie (2013): Record video with the FaceTime HD camera" on apple support posting but it seems to me that those were posted for another OS version.
Any help would be appreciated!

Hello Triunfo,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
If you are using the current version of iMovie, 10.0.6, you can follow the directions in the help article linked to below to import using the built-in FaceTime HD camera.

I have a problem with Imac mid 2010 graphics card (ATI Radeon 5670 512MB)

I have a problem with Imac mid 2010 graphics card (ATI Radeon 5670 512MB). When I play video formats like xvid, mkv, avi iMac freezes and emits horrible sound,in service said the problem is not overheating. Not a problem with memory or hard disk because I placed second correct parts.The same problem is with OSX 10.6.8 and 10.8.4 and other players.Apple hardware test found no problem and tech tool pro found no fault.
After five days of testing in the service they can not found fault and it was decided to change the graphics card.
New graphics have been tested for two days but it is not reproduced divx ... but their test software which did not find any fault on the old graphics...
Do I have the right to complain if repair does not fix the problem because I use non apple softwere and video formats.

You could look at the System Profile for the info it presents for the card. But why wouldn't you think it's not up to date if you have the latest install (according to your sig above)?
What program are you trying to run? Is there anything in the system log?
I think it's the program that's having the problem and not anything with your video software.

No Video with FCP HDV with QTP

I have a strange question....
I have an Intel G5 iMac (10.4.11) and I capture and edit with FCP 5.0.4 using a Sony Z1 using the HDV 1080i50 sequence (I live in Hong Kong) I edit the video and export Quicktime movie using my sequence preset HDV 1080i50.
I cannot play the exported video with QTP!!
I hear sound but there is no picture. I only have a white screen!!
I can open this video with FCP and it plays fine!!
I can then take this exported video and transfer it to my G5 dual core tower (10.4.11) and the video plays fine in QTP!
I would really like to be able to use QTP to play these videos! Both the iMac and G5 tower have the exact OSX and FCP. The only difference is one is Intel and the other is PPC! Has anyone had problems playing HDV videos on intel macs?
Any ideas or suggestion?

I've re-installed FCP Studio and the problem still persists....
any ideas?

Problems with iMac retina 5K (artifacts, glitches and etc.)

Hello dear Apple.
I have bought new iMac with retina 5K display and I have found lot of problem with it. It was December 2014 when I got my first iMac. And after then I have found few real problems with it.
The first problem is I can't open high resolution image with standard Preview.app. I mean 'high resolution' - more then 30-40 megapixels. When I open them, I can see image, but only 2-3 seconds, and after that I see horizontal artifacts only. I can't open images, like this Rembrandt.jpg; Carpaccio.jpg; Holbein.jpg
The second problem, when I change resolution in to scaled mode (System Preferences/Display) for increase image on display. I found when select some area on background of desktop it has left some lines after itself. It is particularly unpleasant if you have plain colour desktop background. You can view, how does it look here.
The next problem with animation in different parts of interface, e.g. sometimes when I open Time Machine some parts of windows are freezing or appear some artifacts or glitches near borders of window. And I have the same situation, when I open Mission Control, or any Adobe app or other, or simply rename a files. I have found few discussions with problems like mine, but in the separate places
5K iMac - bad GPUs?
Graphic Problems with Retina iMac
iMac 5K and indesign glitch
And after that I want to tell you that I have this problems on four (4) iMacs. It was really difficult to arrange four replace. I have lost a lot of time an spent a lot of nerves for discuss and resolve my problems with Apple support. Finally, they told me that they do not know about problems with iMacs, and they could offer give my money back. I glad to get my funds, but now in my country price for iMacs has doubled. And if they refund my money, I can buy half new iMac only.
I am sorry for my language and style, but I do not know what I should doing with that. And should I hope, that my problem resolve with OS X updates? Or it is hardware problem of the whole iMacs 5K...

Yes Ralph, absolutely correct, 4 times. Do you have the graphic card the same as me, or m290? Could I ask you check your iMac for few things, please?
For the first, can you enlarge scale in System preference/Display and install plain dark color desktop background. Are there any footprints after rectangular selection like in my video https://youtu.be/dBglFvjJx1Q?
And for the second, could you download this image https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/07/Rembrandt_Harmensz._van_Rijn _-_Nachtwacht_-_Google_Art_Project.jpg and open in plain Preview.app, and zoom it? Are there any glitches?
Thank forward.
