Where did my video go and why is it black?

I've noticed a problem and I hope there's a solution for. I recently discovered this morning that my iChat video when I try and view the picture, the screen itself is all black. Also, I updated my software so I know whatever I've got is up to date. How can I get my picture back?

Do you use Perian ?
It is an System Preferences that add in to the codecs that Quicktime can play.

  • When I open iPhoto its asks me what photo library I want to use.  I already have a photo library that i've been using for 2 years, where did it go? and why am I being asked now to choose a library or "create new" what happened to all my photos?

    When I open iPhoto it asks me to choose a photo library.  I already have a libary with photos and events in it that I've been using for 2 years.  Where did it go?  What happened to all my photos

    We have no way of knowing what goes on on your machine. All we can tell is that your iPhoto library is missing and iPhoto can't find it. If you can't find then I the only thing you can do is restore from your Back Up.

  • When I click the Sections button then click on the 1st page I get  a page that is titled "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet"! Where did it come from and how do I get rid of it. I have tried deleting and "dont save" but it comes back.

    In Pages when I click the 'Sections'  button then click on the 1st page I get  a page that is titled "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet"!  Where did it come from and how do I get rid of it? I have tried deleting and "dont save" but it comes back. It is a full page in some unknown language. The only thing I can decifer is 'cupy uf cak'.   Rdal

    Roger,
    The icon is +Sections, not just Sections, as in "Add a Section". When you click that icon you get a section break and and a new section template, complete with preformatted text called placeholder text. The reason "Lorem ipsum" is there is so you can see what the format looks like. The reason that it is Latin gibberish is so you won't get hung up on, or distracted by, what it says. It's just a display of format. Select the "Lorem ipsum" text and start typing your content.

  • What is mean by Referential Integrity? Where do we use it and Why..?

    Hi All,
    Can anybody tell me, What is mean by Referential Integrity? Where do we use it and Why..?
    Regards,
    Kiran Telkar

    Dear Kiran Telkar ,
    you might be knowing that generally refrential integrity is concerned with nothing but primary key and foriegn key relationship. Generally we use to check uniqueness of records.
    In sap we use it during flexible updation...to check the data records of transaction data and master data.
    In other words, to check before loading of data, that whether loading will be properly or not.
    we will check(tick) the option in the maintainance of the
    <b>infosource--> communication structure</b>
    it will be better if you clearly mention your problem, if further help is needed.
    hope this will help you.

  • Where did RRS Feeds go and how do I get them back in Mail 6.0?

    Just upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion and have seemed to have lost the capability to receive RRS feeds in mail.  Where did RRS Feeds go and how do I get them back in Mail 6.0?

    Apple has dropped RSS Feeds from Safari and Mail.
    As fas as I know the only way to get them back is a third party app.
    I have found Vienna RSS to work even better then the old way with Safari and Mail.

    My welcome screen used to have just my name and an icon.  Now it has my name on one side and guest user on the other. where did it come from and how do I get rid of it?

    Either you enabled the guest user, or you enabled Find My Mac, which requires there to be an active guest account for a thief to log into, so that they'll connect to the internet and allow you to locate it.

  • Where did my videos go?

    I had to take my iTouch to the Apple store today for a restore. My Macbook Pro was unable to restore after multiple attempts. I brought it home, plugged it in and it was still there - had expected all new factory settings, starting over from scratch. I was also expecting to be bummed out by the NOTES being gone as the Apple store guy said there was no backup for notes. Turns out - notes were still there and restored. What is gone are my videos...where did they go? The videos no longer appear in the iTunes library either. Does anyone know a way or place to find them and get them back on my iTouch? And...am I to assume that the Apple store guy was incorrect? Obviously the NOTES were backed up at some point...??

    Use Time Machine to go back to a point where you know the videos were in your iTunes library and restore your library. Don't forget, there are actually two files that need to be restored - iTunes Library and iTunes Music Library.xml.

  • I can no longer view my iTunes "sync in progress."  where did this window go, and how do I get it back?

    Hi; I can no longer view my iTunes "sync in progress" window--the window that tells me each thing that is syncing, etc.  Where did it go, and how do I get it back?  Thanks if you can help--I was on the phone with Apple for 7 minutes on hold and then they just cut me off.  (Nice).

    Now, I find myself unable to update my version of Itunes. it asks me if I wish to update the version, I say yes, and then nothing happens.
    With that one, I'd try updating using an iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) installer file, downloaded from the Apple Website:

    No way for anyone here to know where it went, as you have provided no info about your issue.
    Use your backup copy of your computer to put everything back.

    i cannot find quicktime pro anywhere on my computer
    It is part of the regular Quicktime.
    You get more options with Pro.
    Open Quicktime Player.

    Select a file, right click and select *Open with*, then select iTunes.
    Tick *Always use this application* (or whatever is says).

  • Where did the video lounge forum go?

    hello,
    i haven't been here in a while.  a lot has changed.  there used to be a lot of funny stuff and cool off topic threads here in the video lounge.
    now it seems to be only a place where people ask for free youtube intros...it's kinda sad in a way.
    i guess like bob dylan says: the times they are a changin...
    happy holidays and good fortune to all, cheers, j

    I think that part of the problem is that when many of us started hanging out in here, there were not a lot of places to read about video related topics, or discuss video related topics.
    There were a couple of contests back in the day and we had a lot of fun.
    But there are so many places on the web now that deal with video, and so many people who shoot video with their cameras and their phones, that we don't see as many people here probably because there is nothing at all unique about people shooting video.
    I had a very popular web site because I collected all of the info that I could into one place. Now you can just Google what you want and there are lots of places that can help you find just the right info or product. So I am retiring my site and planning on using it for my photography portfolio.
    In other words, it just isn't the same anymore.
    For a while we had a guy who posted lots of stuff every day, but he was not happy and eventually got tired of being told to calm down, so he is gone, or is using a new screen name.and not posting much.
    But you never know. Maybe a few new people will start interesting conversations that will entice the rest of us back into participating.

  • Where did exported file go? Why does it time out?

    Right now, I'm a little more than frustrated with this "tool" and have two issues with it.
    First issue:  Followed the steps to convert a PDF to Excel. First time, it timed out and I received an error message "Adobe ExportPDF could not successfully export your PDF file (file name).pdf. The conversion of your uploaded PDF timed out." Second time I tried it by turning off the OCR feature...same error message.
    I will admit that the PDF file I am trying to convert to Excel is almost 3,000 pages long, but each page does not contain a whole lot of data. What I do with the converted Excel file is run a VBA macro that I developed to pull out the information we need. However, I also tried to convert a smaller PDF file to Excel with the same results...error...timed out.
    Second issue: When I finally did get a PDF to convert to Excel and I tried to download it to open it...nothing appeared. Nothing opened in Excel. Export to PDF indicated that the file could not  be previewed and I should download it to view it. (Huh???) Then I tried to save it instead of opening it. I can't find where it went!
    I volunteered to test this tool for my department of 45 others who would definitely benefit from the use of such a tool...if I can get it to work. So far, things are not looking so good. If I can't get this to work for me as the tester, then I will have to cancel the subscription I just signed on for and look for other conversion software that does work.

    I’m on the Adobe site and trying to reply to you. It’s not working.
    I had my subscription cancelled on Wednesday. We can’t use this.

  • Where's J2SE v1.5 and why all cute names for it?

    Look I came to the sun site not to be entertained by jug humor and confused by renaming things at every page I drilled down through 'simply' to get an "upgrade" from 1.4 to 1.5.
    Also I cannot understand why a site that obviously should be familiar with technical terms, uses "updates" when in fact it would appear they are offering "upgrades".
    Best I can figure out is I need either their beans thing or the one to the right, but then I'm not planning on going to Mars anytime soon.

    Appreciate your letting me know what it was I didn't

    Wrong. I posted a link to the Java Runtime Environment (JRE), which you DO needed.

    downloading.
    Wrong. You mean the Java Runtime Environment (JRE). And I think you meant by users "some user like myself". Seeing that you cannot remember your own login name, that doesn't surprise me much.
    > Just in case anyone else comes here as well, seeking
    the same info, as I suspect hey will, I better post
    the link needed.
    Ref. http://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp
    Which is a link to the Java Runtime Environment.
    Or one can use the link I already posted which is from the official Sun website.
    > Once again, thank you for pointing out the obvious.
    Well if it was that obvious...
    Good luck with you JRE.
