Why can I not hear the person I am video chatting with? They can hear me...

Hi,
There can be several reasons.
1) They have their Mic Off.
In iChat > Video Menu the Microphone Enabled (or Audio Chat Enabled in Lion) needs to be ticked.
2) the System Preferences > Sound > Input tab Volume is not high enough ?
Slide it to the right (their end)
2a) the Mic selected here is not the one select in iChat > Preferences > Video section > Microphone drop down.
3) there is an issue with the speed differences in the internet services you both have.
If they are fast and sending lots of data and your end cannot buffer fast enough frame get dropped to smooth out video. There comes a point when the audio can no longer keep in sync and is dropped as well.
In iChat menu > Preferences > Video section > Bandwidth Limit set 500kbps at both ends
This also smooths out ISP variances.
4) after that it tends to be combos of things such as Processors involved, the Speed of those Processors and the speed or bandwidth available to the computers involved.

I can't see the person I am video chatting with...please help me

I am using IChat with my iMac. My mother is using AIM (newest version) on her Windows PC.
She or I can initiate the video chat invitation. However, once the video chat starts she can see me on her monitor but I can not see her on mine. On my monitor all I see is what MY built-in isight camera shows me (ie myself).
Any help as to why I only see myself and not her? Is it a problem on my end or hers? Thanks.

Hi
Your post seems to have gone unnoticed by the regular problem solvers, so I'll bump it up the list with a request for clarification.
You say your mother is using the latest version of AIM on her PC. If that means AIM Triton, it won't work. She needs AIM 5.9 instead. She will also need to enable AIM through the Windows XP firewall.
If that's not the problem, try to give a bit more info on the set-up - make of modem, connection speed, etc.

Can't see the person I am video chatting with but they can see me?

I use iChat 3.1.9 and when I video chat I can only see myself and not the person I am chatting with? The other person can see me but I can't see them? In the past there would be two boxes that showed the other person (larger box) and then myself (in a smaller box). Any tips on what to do?
Thanks

Why can I not adjust the volume on a video when accessed from the lock screen

Why can I not adjust the volume of a video in my pictures folder, when accessed from the new lock screen option?

There is no way to access videos directly from the lock screen.
What exactly is being attempted here?

Hi,
I looked on this site http://portforward.com/routers.htm
It lists many routing devices both modems and routers.
I did not see the Surfboard you listed but that does not mean it does not route (It just means it is not in the list)
Your computer is getting the IP 192.168.1.3 which means a device somewhere between you and the internet is routing.
Most likely in System Preferences > Network for the connection method you are using you can see a "Router IP" (192.168.1.1 is most likely based on the IP you get)
Type this into to your Web Browser like you would Apple.com
You should get a Pop Up.
Hopefully it will tell what device you are now trying to Log in to.
This info may help in looking in the Port Forward list.
If not check all the Motorola devices listed and then iChat in the Next page.
The third page from the Link page I gave you will detail the default access info (IP and User ID and Password) for each device you visit.
You may find that there is a common User ID and password across the various devices and this may work for you.
At Random this one says admin and motorola as the User ID and Password. (others may say different)
Don't worry about the fact it says to set a Static IP at this stage Or the Port Forwarding info further down each page.
You will hopefully be now looking at the web pages stored on the modem.
They work like any other web pages with menu items and links to other pages.
Search all the menu items and link to see if the device has UPnP
It tends to be in different places on different routing devices but try Advanced or Admin as well as anything to to do with opening ports.
A Status page like the first pic on the second link page I listed may well tell you if it has UPnP enable or not (but this is not always the case)
Tell us what you find out or if you have some other routing device in between you and the Motorola Surfboard.

When i am video chatting i cannot hear the person is talking to me

When i do the vieo chat, i cannot hear the person is talking to me, but they can hear me.

Oops forget the link above.
When in a video chat click on video in the menu bar and then click on "hide local video".

I can't hear the person talking.!

I've had my N96 for just over a year and there haven't been any problems with the audio; but a few days ago when I answered a call, I wasn't able to hear the person I was calling. However, i can hear them on loudspeaker/headphones perfectly fine. I've tried changing the volume and taking out the battery etc. but it doesn't seem to have made a difference.
Can someone please help!
All advice is appreciated.

Sounds like ear-piece problem or its not working completely, have you tried calling someone and were you are able to hear the ringing tone?

Can i video chat with someone on a windows pc using yahoo messenger?

hi, i am considering buying a macbook laptop and would like to know before i purchase, can i video chat with someone using a windows pc with vista os on it if we are both using yahoo messenger? if so please tell me how to set that up correctly b/c the tech support site hasnt been helpful. Also, can i plug my Logitech QuickIM or ExpressIM webcam into the usb port and the macbook pick it up and allow me to use it with yahoo messenger to video chat with? can i still use the headphone earbud that came with the webcamera also if i plug it into the headphone jack on the macbook? if so how do you do that? i know that macbook has a built in webcamera, but i like to turn the camera instead of having to turn the computer all the time to show different parts of areas, etc. in my house, etc. please help me so i will know whether or not to purchase it or not. and also, can i use microsoft outlook to check my email with on a macbook, or what email program would i need to use?
email me at [email protected] with answers please.

regarding video, yes you can do a video chat with another pc user. the pc side has to right click your name and find the "view video" (using yahoo mesenger and built in cam)
have not use audio though so i can not assure you that it would work. (but most probably it would)
as to using external cam and mic, you can try to borrow someone else cam or go to a mac store and ask for a demo
as to microsoft outlook... there is no mac version of microsoft outlook as far as i know. (correct me if im wrong) how ever you can use bootcamp and have windows installed and use your mac as if your using windows

When I make a call, I can hear the person on the other end but they can't hear me. It's not the mic, I use the voice recorder all the time and I have no problems w FaceTime. My headphones and Bluetooth do the same thing as far as not being able to be hea

When I make a call, I can hear the person on the other end but they can't hear me. It's not the mic bc face time or voice recorder are not affected. I can't even use my headphones or Bluetooth to get around the problem. This has stumped 2 geniuses, they just try to swap it out for $150.

I am having the same issue with my iPhone 4. I can hear everyone but they can't hear me. Visited Apple Store and they said speakers were out, both bottom mic and top one for speaker phone. Said they were busted. Reloaded all software and didn't work. Got in parking lot and worked for 1 call. Now it's out again. Wanted $150 for new phone, haven't done it yet. don't know what to do.

I have a 4s with ios 6 but when I place a call I can't hear the person I' m calling, the volume is high but it's not working. Please help.

I have taken it back to the Apple store genius bar, but they say they don't see anything wrong. Well unless you use it all day and experience the problems when they happen, you wont see anything wrong. But there are lots wrong with it. But this would be the same store as I purchased the phone. And they backed up my old Iphone 4, but were not able to get anything to load back onto my new phone. So, I lost pretty much everything. But over time, some of my contacts have started showing up, although i am still missing over 800 of them.

HT4515 Just tried to place a call on my new iPhone5S. I can hear the person I'm calling, they cannot hear me. The microphone icon has a line through it, but tapping the icon does not make a difference.

Just tried to place a call with my new iPhone. I can hear the person I'm calling but they cannot hear me. There is a line across the microphone icon, which I took to mean muted but nothing changes when I tap it. What am I doing - or not doing?

is your mute switch turned on (above the volume) ? remove case and screen protecter.
is volume turned up?
if so do this
