Why can't I video/audio connect 2 Macs when I can text successfully?

I have been successfully using iChat (5.0.1 + Snow Leopard) for some time. However, a Mac (Leopard) using friend and I can't seem to audio or video between ourselves. We can text though. I see him as available in black in my Recent Buddies list and also see his photo image. He only sees me in grey (although I am available) and in place of my photo image he sees a mobile me cloud.
If I try and audio or video call him it 'waits for response', then says its 'starting a chat' then says there's a 'communication error' and it 'didn't receive a response'. Although I am greyed, he can try and unsuccessfully call me. Also, despite us both having .mac addresses (and he has never used AIM), he appears i my AIM Buddy List?
The error Log after the video chat fails is here:
files.me.com/mervyng/q5ojw2.pages.zip
(I couldn't successfully post it here, I kept getting an error message that the forum was unavailable!)
If someone can please read and decode it I'd be very grateful.

Hi,
iChat was developed as an AIM client first and foremost.
This means Apple came to an Agreement with AIM that @Mac.com names and later MobileMe @me.com name are recognised as Valid AIM Screen Names.
It sounds if your Buddy either has the Firewall Blocking iChat (Allow Essentials in Leopard does not work as iChat is Not an Essential App) or he has some setting in iChat > Preferences > Accounts > Security that is either not allowing you or is actually Blocking you.
It is possible that his modem does not like Logging in on Port 5190 on the TCP Protocols and getting Buddy List feedback on port 5190 on the UDP Protocol
He should try go to iChat > Preference > Accounts > Server Settings and changing the Port to 443 (He will need to use the Accounts Info Tab first and deselect "Use this Account" to Log out of AIM)

Is this happing because the external is formatted to PC and not mac?
Yes that is correct.
Will I need to get a mac external hard drive if I wish to continue to save my documents like this?
If you no longer use a PC you could format this drive for the Mac. However be aware that formatting a drive will erase all the data on it. So you would need someplace to copy the data off this drive to while you did the re-format and then you could copy the data back.
You could get another drive, format it for the Mac and copy the data to it. Then re-format the original drive and use it as a backup drive. Always good to have backups.
Post back with the drive type and size of the current drive, if you are doing backups now and how and if you still need to access this drive from a PC.

I took some videos using my iPhone 5c and uploaded them to my computer. I can play the videos in iPhoto, but when I open them in QuickTime, they are dark and silent. Why can't I see them in QuickTime?

Make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Select the options identified in the screenshot.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

I have a Mac version 10.5.8 with Safari and I can't watch video's... I can download flash player but it won't work.

I can't watch video on my Mac version 10.5.8 with Safari.

Could be Flash Player problem.
Two bugs, one affecting Apple's Mac platform and another attacking Microsoft's Windows, exploit certain Flash player vulnerabilities to install malware onto users' systems, reports ArsTechnica. While users of other operating systems like Linux have yet to report attacks, Adobe's advisory notes the exploit affects all platforms.
Designated as CVE-2013-0634, the first vulnerability targets the Safari and Firefox Web browsers running on OS X, and is also being used as a trojan to deploy Microsoft Word documents containing malware. For Mac users, the flaw affects Adobe Flash Player version 11.5.502.146 or earlier.
The Adobe Flash patch can be found on the company's website, and users can visit this page to check if their software is the most curent version.

I was wondering can i install windows on my mac when i have downloaded windows form the internet and do not have a C.D.??
Because when i get to the part in Boot Camp Assistant that says Start Windows Installation it says u need a disc... is there no other way??

Get the physical copy (disk) this will enable you to reinstall when (not if ) it messes up.
Make sure to purchase acopy that is compatible with your OSX

You need to run a platform swap:
Order product | Platform, language swap
Until it's through, you can use the trial version.

Mac mini bluetooth audio connection stops when paused

Hello!
I have a Mac mini late 2012, i5 Version, 2.5Ghz as my home Desktop. The OS is 10.9.5 Mavericks.
It's connected to a Logilink Bluetooth to 30 pin dock connector adapter, standing on an Apple Dock, connected to my Home Stereo. My Problem is, that everytime i pause the audio on my mini, the bluetooth connection just stops, and if i press play again, it plays through my internal speaker again.
I temporarily fixed this by playing a 10hour version of a song with 0 volume on itunes, but this shouldn't be a long-time solution.
I tried it with another bluetooth adapter, another dock, another home stereo. The issue probably is Mavericks, with it's awesome bluetooth settings, connect or don't connect.
Is there any program out there which sets the connection to permanent? Or is there an other solution?
Thank you very much in advance!
(Sorry for poor english. If you don't understand something, i could explain it in german!)

Ah, no joy, as suspected...I'm using Boot Camp version 4 and all i got was a flash drive full of boot camp version 3.1 - 3.3? A few firmware upgrades that says it isn't compatible...
IS THERE ANYONE AT APPLE THAT CAN HELP!!!
Jesus! I bought this a week ago and I can't even get audio! If this is the kind of service coming from Apple then I don't know...

Can't use video ichat connection failure

HI
only recnetly about two weeks that i have not been able to contact to any one using ichat. I am from New Zealand, i have tried to contact with friends in Australia and New Zealand however video ichat does not connect. I used to use it until about 2 weeks ago and then it stopped working.
text ichat works fine. even i can send invitation for video ichat and people can "accept" it however the connection fails.
can you please help me.

Hi,
iChat can not be pinned down to one specific Network.
In iChat 4 it sees several things as Two or more Networks.
MIMO routing devices the Multi Broadcast the WiFi Channels get seen this way.
Connecting to a LAN with two DHCP server such a a modem that routes doing DHCP and a Router doing the same - the Mac gets two IPs.
Similarly if you connect to a routing device with WiFi and Ethernet you get two IPs
(As will Hopping on to a Neighbour's Wifi Network whilst Ethernet to your own)
Parallels is a problem for some if it is set to Share the Mac's IP and the two VPNs that are created in System Preferences > Network are active (even if Red) they need to specifically be set to Off and the App set to get it's Own IP from the routing device.
Internet Sharing in System Preferences > Sharing can also be a problem even if there is nothing linked to Share it with.
As Firewire uses an IP like format to identify devices I have seen this connected to a Stills camera show up as a Network in System Preferences > Network and cause problems.
So it would seem that the sharing of the two Ethernet ports is seen as two networks by iChat.

I can't use my facebook video chat in mac osx, i can't use my facebook video chat in mac osx

hey i cant use my face book video chat on mac osx how to fix the prob !!!

To manage photos, you can start with Settings > General > Usage > Photos & Camera. That should itemize a bit better where the photos are that take the space. Camera Roll is local to your iPhone, so if you delete photos from there, expect them to be deleted everywhere. Other accounts may be saved other places in addition to your iPhone, and may be safer to delete. It just depends on your personal setup - what accounts you use and where they are stored in addition to your iPhone.
Another thought is possibly these other accounts can stay where they are on other devices (your PC, for example), and simply stop syncing them to your iPhone. You can set all that up pretty simply in iTunes on your computer when your iPhone is connected -- simply choose the Photos tab in the iPhone's area and change the sync rule.

Brutal error message OSStatus error 2003332927 Can not record video/audio

I have QT pro 7.6 and since a couple of weeks ago, I have been unable to record video or audio.
Any Ideas what this error code means and how I can fix it?
thanks everyone!

Hi there.
After further testing I have found that the reason I was receiving the Brutal Error, was because of my DigiDesign Core Audio Driver.
If I am using the MBox, and Digi Core Audio, (i.e Mbox I/O is active) Quicktime Pro will not record video/Audio.
If however I switch back to the Mac audio out (disconnect the MBox), Quicktime Pro works fine.
I havent had time to "fix" the problem in the Digi Core Audio, but this was the source of my Brutal Error Code.
Hope this helps.
