Why can't my buddy see my Video?

I am running iChat 3.0.1 on Tiger & I am chatting with someone using iChat 2.1 on Panther..... My camera is working fine, but the person I am chatting with has no way to see my video.... We are able to hear each other perfectly using iChat audio, but for some reason he has no access to my video.... (By the way, he does not have a camera hooked up to his computer, so I'm the only one using a webcam....)
Please help!
THanks......

Hi OLivia,
2.1 is the last(est) version for Panther.
As was asked earlier - is he on a connection that will support One-Way video ?
He has to be on Broadband of at least 100kbps.

He and you should also check System Preferences > Quicktime in the COnnection speed/Streaming tab (depends which version of Quicktme you have) and see that the Speed matches your download (Automatic is a bit suspect).
In iChat go to the Preferences > Video Section and check the Bandwidth drop down is set to NONE. (Both of you)

  • Why can't my buddy see video on import

    Maybe you guys can help me. My buddy has a mac book air with an OS that uses QUICK TIME X. I guess he has SN or Lion. Anyway, I shot him some HD video in 720p 30fps and gave him a .mov file of the footage so he can learn to edit in imovie. I used FCP studio 3 to export.
    I have stayed away from QT X as much as possible becasue I don['t like it and it limits me. I also have all the codes with FCP studio.
    When he tries to import his video into imovie he only gets audio and the black screen. When he tries to open the file in QT X he gets a codec error. I told him to purchase QT pro and that should solve his problem. He bought it only to talk to Apple and the said it was not compatable with QT X. I stay away from X and FCP X. I dont  like the new interface.
    Is he having a global codec problem? He can't even see his video in MPEG Streamclip.
    What codec does he need to see and edit his video in imovie?
    Or do I need to export the file for imovie.....if so what are my settings?
    Thanks.
    PS, I can open the file in QT X and imovie with and 8 core 2009 mac with Snow Leopard. I haven't tried it on my MBP with Mountain Lion.

    If you have FCP and exported in full quality, you probably used ProRes 422. This codec does not come with Imovie. You can export the movie from FCP in Apple Intermediate Codec, and iMovie can handle it.
    It may be possible to download the ProRes codec for your friend so he can open in QuickTime X. It may also be readable in iMovie.  Here is a link. http://support.apple.com/kb/dl1396
    I am not certain this will work, because I have FCPX installed so I have no way to test whether it will work without it.

  • Why can I no longer see CS6 in creative cloud

    Why can I no longer see CS6 to download in Creative Cloud?

    HI Intro,
    Once you will launch Creative Cloud Desktop you will get the option "Find new apps" and a drop down in front of it.
    On the Drop down menu you need to select "Previous Version".
    Once you do that you will get the option to download the Creative Cloud applications.
    Please check and let me if it works or not.
    Thanks,

  • Why can't I get live streaming video to play

    Why can't I get live streaming video to play in Safari?

    Sorry, but that is old info. On my 21" iMac, I'm running 10.7.1 and the version of Safari is 5.1. On my 24" iMac, I'm running 10.6.8 and Safari 5.1. I have even tried to get it to run in Firefox and still no results. I've been able to do live streaming previously, but today I'm hitting a road block. Could there be a setting or preference that I do not have set properly?

    Not aware of a 12-inch Intel MBP. Anyway, could you possibly have an old version of flash player on your computer too. Look in the In the Internet Plug-ins folder to be sure you have only one flash player plugin. Path is HD/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/Flash Player.plugin
    Also try searching your hard disk for flash.
    Some other things to try are in this thread.

    You should be able to play it using the free VLC:

  • Why can't I get the Audi-video chat started?

    My step-daughter and I have iSight cameras and Macintosh Computers with iChat installed. On Friday afternoon we tried to start a video-chat. I heard by phone, that we were both trying to get in touch with each other at the same time.
    • I was able to get my step-daughter entered as one of my ‘Buddies’. There is a Buddy List and her name is there, correctly. Though I have to add her name, from my address book, each time I close iChat down.
    • The rectangular menu has the following icons at the bottom A, a telephone icon & a video-camera ‘greyed out’. I do not see why I cannot blacken them.
    • When my step-daughter succeeded in getting her camera turned on (see could see herself on her computer screen) I double-clicked on the video-camera part of her name card in the buddy list.
    • Miraculously, but ultimately disappointingly, the process of trying to contact my step-daughter began. Another view of my camera picture appeared, the rotating ‘stop-clock’ type icon began spinning for about ten seconds. The message setting up video-chat changed to tell me that the attempt to establish a video-chat had failed because I had failed to respond.
    • But I had no indication of how to respond. Minutes later I was able to establish a chat with my step-daughter with text. If I can establish textual contact, why not audiovisual?
    • I take it the use of Bonjour is the way to go rather than aim.

    I'm not sure how to add to my own topic, or I'm supposed to... but here goes.
    One thought as to why text messages will work and Audio Video won't has to do with broadband speed. I checked my Internet Service Provider website (Cable & Wireless in the Cayman Islands) and they have a way of 'Testing Your Broadband Speed'.
    I tried that and although I could not print the results, the test told me that my download speed is 1.3 mb and my upload speed is 553 kb. I haven't a clue if that is fast, slow or something in between. however, page 3 of the iChat brochure (videoconferencing for the rest of us) http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/ichat/ said that to initiate or participate in a 1 to 1 video conference the bandwidth required is 100 kbps. I've got that, right?
    Another thoughtthat I had was that my step-daughter may not have 'Full .Mac membership', she may just be 'on trial'. I'll ask her and if that's the case it's problem solved, see page one of http://www.mac.com/1/ichat.html.
    Router doubts have been dispelled. I have a Netopia not a Belkin. A troubleshooting piece from 2003 refering to a Beta version of all this said that a Belkin router would not do the business.
    So, anymore thoughts out there, Mac people?

  • Why can't i play you tube videos on my new macbook pro?

    i've downloaded adobe flash player for mac on safari, but i'm still unable to play videos on you tube,  can somebody help please?

    The Flash plug-in failure on Lion, is a Safari issue that can be fixed with these steps:
    My Flash Player plug-in would not play videos on YouTube (using Safari in Lion). It turned out that my Safari settings needed to be reset after the recent Lion 10.7.4 and Flash upgrades.  I called Apple tech...
    This is what we did to fix it:
    1. Open Safari.
    2. Go to top left menu, under "Safari" click on "Reset Safari."
    3. UNCHECK the first two boxes, leave the next three checked, plus UNCHECK the next two, and keep the last three checked.
    4. Hit "Reset"
    5. After the reset finishes, Safari will relaunch and you can test Flash by going to YouTube to see that videos will now play.
    Thanks Apple Care!

  • Why can my reciever not see my emoji symbols on the message that I send

    Why can people not see the emoji symbols on my texts that I send

    Are you using the standard emoji keyboard on the iPhone, or are you using some type of 3rd party application? Are the receivers of your message iPhone users? If they are not, it could be their phone cannot decode and display the emoji from the phone.

  • Why can I no longer see .mts files on my Sony Video Camera

    before I upgraded to Mountan Lion, I could hook my Sony Video Camera up to the USB port and see the .MTS files on my Mac. Now when I hook the camera up, I can no longer see the files. I have to hook the camera up to a windows machine, copy the files from the camera to a dropbox folder or DVD. Then I can see them on my Mac from the dropbox folder or DVD.  Why did I lose the ability to see the files directly on the camera?
