We need to get some help and explanations about iChat video not working.

I've read so many postings about iChat Video hoping for an answer to my problem, but not only did I not find an answer, no one else has been receiving an answer either.
I've had multiple problems with my ichat video not working.
I either get an error saying someone didn't accept which isn't the case, or I get some error-8 or something ridiculous like that.
Can we get some help from apple support or something?!

Short answer: No, we can´t...!
Apple don´t care about us users, unless you pay for an Apple Care Service. Try your best to follow some advices from around this forum. That´s the only help you will get.
Some people have got their iChat video working again after following some advice. By the way. I´m not one of them... I´ve tried every single tip I read here, but I´m still stuck with text chat only...
Good luck.

My iphone warranty just ended a week ago but I need to get it fixed because my power button is not working, do I still have to pay for it to be fixed even though my warranty ended a week ago?

Your warranty expired, so of course you will have to pay.

Some tabs and click-on headings are not working. They worked yesterday, and other than updating Firefox AFTER the problems, I've made no changes. Example: headings in Facebook; headings in my library website.

Some of the browser tabs and headers that are "clickable" are noe working. I click on them, and nothing happens. Part of Facebook works, but the headers do not. My library site headers, which has tabs for "Search" and "Account" as examples, do not work. Up till late yesterday, there were no problems. I did re-install Firefox this morning, and it made no difference.

The Yahoo! Toolbar extension has been reported to cause this issue.

AIM and ichat, video not working

I have 2 aol email accounts and aim with those. I am a little confused on some things. First I have the free aol email and instant messenger. Nothing is downloaded onto my computer, I just signed up for an email account and set it up in mail and ichat. I keep seeing things about versions of aol, well I don't have a version downloaded.
Can this be the reason that I can not hear people when they conference to me? They hear and see me, and I see them, just no sound from them.
A friend of mine has same computer I have, bought his 2 days before I bought mine and he said he's had no problem using his ichat. then last night he started having problems and he said the only thing he did was run permssions repair. Which I had also done. So either the permission repair caused something to change that we can no longer use it or there is something else going on.
I have a linksys router, I have plug and play enabled, I have also tried enabling ports, there is no firewall. The friend has same setup and he NEVER went in and changed settings on his router, it just instantly worked. We also have the same ISP. No ports are being blocked by them. I have also enabled all ports to see if that would help.
the other person I can not connect to is another story. I need to get mine up and running before I work on hers. She has a wireless pc, and dsl..I am going to check her setting, aol version, and such once mine is proven to work with someone.
I also can not use big board games...I get a message that says I am behind a firewall (which I am not), I had also tried same thing with the ports, or it says that I have a translated network address. I am guessing that these problems are linked.
Another person that is a pc tech suggested I setup static ip for my computer and all that mess, and we tried it and still no fix.
Someone here suggested changing a setting in quicktime for streamline to be less than 1.5 it was set to 384 (or something) so I left it there.
Yes, all microphones where turned on..it is built in isight.

Well, this problem is solved, it took several different posts to get answers that worked.
But here is what got me up and running.
First, reason I can not connect to pc friend is because she is using the newest version on aim and she needs to be using 5.9 (tried finding who here told me that to give credit, but I can't find the info)
I don't know why I can't connect to my mac friend. I may be able to now that I fixed somethings, but he's not been online for me to test it out. However, he was able to chat with other people and then he changed some things and now he's not. So, when he is online again I will go over his setup as well.
Ichat would have worked with no special configurations for me, right out of the box. However, big bang board games will not let me get online and trying to get that online is where I changed things that prevented ichat from ever working.
If you are having this problem with linksys or netgear router..just turn on plugnplay in router configurations. It is usually on be default. No need to have ports enabled.
For you mac firewall, just have it turned on, no special ports being opened.
I do have bonjour chat checked in settings, but I am told that this does not need to be checked. Do not have apple remote sharing checked.
I do have 10.4.8 installed, so I did not need to go back to an older version.
This just boiled down to I turned my firewall off and never thought that would cause me not to be able to chat.

Ichat video not working.. Need network genius

Hello all, I've spent numerous hours trying to get my ichat video to work. but nothing does.
I just bought a new imac a couple weeks ago and everything is updated-
I have DSL my ISP is internet america - and i'm using a zoom x6 modem.
I have a 1483 bridged IP + NAT connection
I've set up a static internal IP - and forwarded all the ports I need to - Upnp is enabled.
I've tested it with the 3 ichat test bot things, and they all work, but when i try real people it doesn't work. i get some kind of an error-8
I'm stuck, and all the tech support places i call for my router or for apple don't have any idea what to do. I need a genius! like in the commercial!
thanks,
wyatt
p.s. - please for the love of all that is holy don't tell me to restart my modem and computer again.

Hi
Welcome to the  Discussions
I've set up a static internal IP - and forwarded all the ports I need to - Upnp is enabled.
Use UPnP or Port Forwarding not both.

IE7 and Multiple Embedded SWF Videos Not Working

We have a page that contains 2 videos that are streamed from our media hosting company. The code is fairly straightforward,
<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://xxx.xxx.xxx/your.swf" width="400" height="300">
<param name="movie" value=http://xxx.xxx.xxx/your.swf"" />
<param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" />
<param name="wmode" value="transparent" />
<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always" />
<param name="flashvars" value="streamer=rtmp://zzz.zzz.zzz/zzz.flv&autoplay=false" />
</object>
Similar code is used for the second video. The embed code is actually generated from the hosting company and has worked every time. Firefox and Chrome display both videos with no problem. However, IE7 only displays the second video. The first video just has white space where the video should be.
I have used 'embed' tag and conditional object tags (for IE), rewritten the code from scratch, changed the z-index, used Flash to generate code, cleared the cache - all to no avail. Is IE7 incapable of having multiple SWF files on the same page?
**I did notice that changing the autoplay attribute to true will allow for the video to display, however, the playback controls are not available.
Any ideas on how to get this working in IE7?
Thanks in advance

Another me too. In particular the symptoms are this:
+ any YouTube video embedded within a webpage loads the poster frame and the controls, but after clicking the play button only shows the progress indicator briefly before showing "An error occurred, please try again later." within the video frame.
+ the same YouTube videos play fine on the YouTube site.
+ other Internet video plays fine, embedded or not.
+ when the error occurs Safari reports "One error in opening the page. For more information, choose Window > Activity".
+ the Activity window shows "forbidden" for http://v13.lscache4.c.youtube.com/videoplayback?ip=0.0.0.0&sparams=id%2Cexpire%2 Cip%2Cipbits%2Citag%2Calgorithm%2Cburst%2Cfactor%2Coc%3AU0dWSVhMVV9FSkNNNl9QRllH &fexp=900028&algorithm=throttle-factor&itag=34&ipbits=0&burst=40&sver=3&expire=1 274817600&key=yt1&signature=C15947474FA80C9A1B9DA597103C5FF7D621A478.0C1490DE456 5D519F602B0043A4E1F9D800417A0&factor=1.25&id=c3e8886e8b459334
+ the same URL downloads fine when visiting YouTube directly, except the signature value is different.
I have tested the following:
+ the same computer worked fine a week or so ago
+ other computers on the same shared ADSL connection work fine
+ Firefox works fine (contrary to other's experiences)
+ deleting com.apple.Safari.plist doesn't help
+ disabling/enabling the "Enable Plug-ins" preference doesn't help
+ deleting Preferences/Macromedia folder doesn't help
+ reinstalling Flash doesn't help
+ empty cache doesn't help
Tis quite perplexing.

I'm having trouble loading photos on my I phone 4s and I pod. I don't see the photos tab in I-tunes? I'm sure its user error but wanted to get some help.

What's the origin of this external drive? It sounds very much like it's a Windows-formatted (NTFS) drive which Macs can't write to. If you can, copy the files off the drive, reformat it as Mac format (using Disk Utility) and copy the files back. If you need to continue writing to it from a Windows PC, you should format it ExFAT in Disk Utility.

My HT BDV-N790W shows "needs network update" also my netflix doesnt load. can i get some help

My HT BDV-N790W shows "needs network update" also my netflix doesnt load. Can i get some help, please.

There's a lot there, so I'll start with the parts I can answer quickly.
The "ACL found but not expected..." messages can be safely ignored, so says this article
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=306925
(look below all the "SUID" examples)
I had changed my Desktop image earlier but when the "Installing 1 item" window came up it changed back to the back ground that you first see on your desktop after installation.
Leopard installs updates a bit differently. If it's simply an application that does not change system files, it installs them like before, without having to restart. If the update is to the system, then you must immediately "restart," It then goes to that stars and purple screen to perform the installation. Before, it would do the installation while you still had control of the Mac and would prompt you to restart when it finished the installation. This change probably make things more secure and reliable, because you aren't allowed to do other things on the Mac while system updates are being installed.
Please post back with the remaining point of concern.

Who can I contact about getting some help with this ongoing (several months) issue???

I will try to make a long story at least somewhat shorter.Comcast customer for 20 years (yes - literally 20 uninterrupted years). 8 years of service at current address.Several months ago I restructure my bill - all my promotions etc had run out and I wanted to reduce my bill. Ended up being told my customer support that I could save money by getting the "Triple Play" (I've NEVER had comcast phone service, I have my own VOIP phone solution). They told me I didn't have to "use" the phone, just getting it hooked up would save me money. Fine.Internet service was not supposed to have been touched / changed at all. A few days after making these changes, a large box from Comcast shows up at the house. It has TWO cable modems in the box. Not sure why they sent them - I already had the latest cable modem (that was capable of supporting the phone service they needed to activate). Notified comcast about the shipment. They said don't worry about it. Okay, I left them in the box. Tech shows up at house while I'm working. Wife called and I talked to tech. He said he just needed to get some "numbers" off the modem to activate the phone service (I'm in the IT industry - I will assume he wanted MAC / SN#'s). I made sure he was making no changes to the modem itself - I've got my own home network setup. The Comcast cable modem serves as a gateway and it's in bridged mode. Always has been. I have my own router etc. So a week or so after that visit, the modem started losing connectivity. It happens almost EVERY DAY and it's almost always in the later afternoon (5:30-7pm EST) and sometimes late at night. When this happens, the ONLY way to get the connection back is to unplug modem power AND the coax cable input. It will then restart the modem and it comes back. Simply unplugging power and restarting will not do it. After multiple hours spent with support on the phone (we activated the newest modem they sent - same issue. Activated the other modem they sent - same issue. In fact they weren't able to put one of them in bridged mode at all). They said a tech needed to come out. Tech comes out - checks the feed to the house. Said there is a lot of noise in the lines. (Please note that there is one main comcast feed to my house - it splits outside (in the comcast locked box) into two feeds which enter the house. One feed splits and runs the upstairs TV's (Digital Adapters) and the downstairs STB / DVR. The other feed goes DIRECTLY to my cable modem. I ran those feeds myself when I moved in this house. Never had an issue before. Cable TV never has issue - only internet. So the tech replaced some ends on the upstairs line (Cable TV - he said that signal noise could cause issues with the internet). I then helped the tech run a BRAND NEW line from the split at the comcast box, directly to the modem. He said the signal / noise looked much better. Next day - same ISSUE - modem dropped connection. Pull power and coax cable, reseat, modem restarts, signal comes back. I called support again. They gave me an incident #. Said they would have a "Crew supervisor" contact me, since it's obvious the problem lies outside of my home. A tech called and left a voice mail on my phone (was working when it came in, couldn't answer). They did not leave a call back number. Called support again. They told me a tech would call me back and was advised to leave a call back number. That was MONDAY of last week. Haven't heard anything. The contact # is my cell...no missed calls. Is there another number I can call or email address so I can escalate this issue? Having to disconnect / reconnect the modem EVERY DAY at least once is getting tiresome. I'm in the Richmond Virginia area if it matters at all. Thanks.
