Yahoo messenger no more more video viewing

Any recent bugs wiht Yahoo messenger for Mac?
I tried to view my friends web cam and I got an error message that their camera was offline.
I had them triple check and they affirmed their camera was online.
I am using the latest veriosn of tiger, 10.4.6.
I went to my Jaguar back-up system of 10.2.8, which in the past had never given me problems, and still I got the same error mesage when trying to view thier cam.
However, my friend can still view my web cam (I just can't connect to them)
Any news or advice on this this would be most appreciated.
Thanks,

Hi all,
yes yes Yahoo have problem w/ video connection between PC and Mac. Mac-Mac will work as well as PC-PC. I was playing a lot around and found temporary solution, however this doesn't mean that Yahoo now can go and forget about fixing that problem. So my solution is this. You first need to make video connection using iChat on Mac side and AIM on PC side. How to make it work? Just use the link (Thanks Ralph u r the greatest):
http://www.ralphjohnsuk.dsl.pipex.com/page12.html#_Service
BTW if windows r just XP or XP w/ SP1, dont get troubled w/ firewall settings... Also as u r setting TCP and UDP ports in Firewall settings (on windows side as nicely described in the link above) check the AOL Instant Messenger under the Exclusion window as well.
After u r done w/ setting PC for video chat, make video connection between PC and iChat. U will notice, that resolution is not the greatest.... Then close your video chat windows (both on PC and Mac) and start Yahoo messenger. Important step is, that Mac person has to invite for Video chat on Yahoo messenger first. Only when PC user will c Mac user, than PC user can start his video cam. Before that, his cam must be of. So after PC will c Mac video, than PC invites Mac for Video and everything will work. Also u will notice, that fps increased after all this.
Sorry at this point I have no scientific explanation how iChat-AIM enables Yahoo video. I think its somehow related to Win Firewall settings. After this, sometimes u will be able to start video on Yahoo directly w/o AOL. Sometimes u will need to do AOL trick, in order to get video going again. I have not had enough time to try all possibilities yet.
Good luck, and I know it sounds complicated. But trust me, if my mom (70 yo) did that on the other side of the world, than its worthy. Lets hope that Yahoo will release new version soon. I have complained to them last week. If more people would send complains, than maybe they will fix faster….
Sincerely,
Justas

  • Does iChat in Lion have video calls with Yahoo messenger??

    Does iChat in Lion have video calls with Yahoo messenger?
    so far is supports only AIM and Apple ID for video chat but in Lion iChat supports Yahoo messenger, do they have video calling also or only text chat is offered in this version?

    Hi all,
    iChat will Video to other iChat users for Jabber (Google, Facebook and others)  and Yahoo Names.
    In neither case will it Video to any Web browser access to the service the buddy may be on such as the Google Mail web mail or iGoogle pages access to the chat option.
    Nor will it video to any Standalone app (There is one for PC for GoogleTalk) and obviously the Yahoo app on both PCs and Macs.
    iChat has not done this since Jabber was added at iChat 3  (OS 10.4/Tiger) some while ago.
    The AIM for Mac app has never been able to do Video.
    Video chatting to the AIM app for PCs can be fraught but is supposed to work.
    It also tends to work to the  Trillian App with the Pro Add-on (which Costs)
    The Yahoo for Mac 3 Beta has been in beta for years.  It could be argued that it has never been "Supported"
    iChat 6 's behaviour may not be what you want but it is entirely consistent with iChat 3 through 5 with the Jabber options.

  • One more iChat and Yahoo Messenger question

    I have been PC user for years, but I only recently saw the light...
    I have a MacBook Pro recently updated with Lion.  I have everything updated.  So, I am trying to communicate with a friend through iChat using Yahoo Messenger.  He has a brand new PC.
    I can log into iChat using my Yahoo Messenger account.  He can do the same.  But, even though we can see each other on our Buddy List, and we can text each other, the option "Invite to video chat" is grayed out for me.  If he tries to invite me to video response, but I get no notice.
    If I have Yahoo Messenger running at the same time, it takes control, and iChat shows me offline.  If I turn Yahoo Messenger off, I still have no option to video chat.
    I have been through the pages here, but I do not have the experience I had with PC.  So, going through and deleting files in a Mac is a little indemidating for me.  Can someone welcome me to the fold and walk me through any tips you can think of that may fix my problem?  Remember, little baby steps...
    If not, thanks for reading,
    Patrick

    Hi,
    There is no "FIx" as such.
    All the major IM services that do Video somewhere along the line use different protocols in the connection process or in the actually Video Feed.
    iChat uses a Process called Session Initiation Protocol. (SIP)
    It does not matter if you have an AIM Buddy list ((One with an AIM valid ID as Lgin details) or a Jabber one or a Yahoo one or even if you enable th Bonjour one if you have other Macs on your LAN it will use this Protocol.
    This Protocol is compatible with the AIM Application on PCs
    There is a thrdr Party App called Trillian which in it's Pro Version can also Video with iChat.
    The other side of the coin is that it will only Video to other iChat Users that have Google/Jabber or Yahoo Names.
    By the same token Google run a Jabber Server
    Jabber servers use a process called Jingle to do Video
    Google however have altered their version and it is not that compatible with other Jabber apss that can Video chat
    This includes Google's Standalone App called Google Talk (PC Only), the Browser Plug-ins it produces for  Macs (Intels only) and PC and the Chat Option on their Web Pages
    Yahoo uses a straight Web Feed for Video and STUN for the Audio chat along side.
    STUN is close to SIP but not close enough to allow Audio Connections..
    NOTE
    iChat has had the Ability to Text chat to any Jabber Buddy including GoogleTalk ones since iChat 3
    iChat 3 was nearly 6 years ago and no Jabber Video ability has bee added to the app in all that time.
    Any changes are not going to be "in the next Update"

  • HT1349 I can not do video call on yahoo messenger or Skype. I can see them they can't see me

    When I try to do video call in Skype or yahoo messenger people say they can't see me.

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
    If you've already tried a complete uninstall and reinstall try opening iTunes in safe mode (hold down CTRL+SHIFT) as you start iTunes, then going to Edit > Preferences > Store and turning off Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases. You may find iTunes will now start normally.

  • 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 use Yahoo Messenger video chat the keyboard disappears

    When I am using Yahoo Messenger the text chat back and forth works fine, but when someone sends me their cam I get a great picture, but the keyboard disappears, so I can't type anything. Is this normal? Do I have to buy the Apple Keyboard? Thx!
    P.S. I am using an ipad mini wifi only.

    More likely a yahoo issue and not apple, since you are using a 3rd party app.  Suggest contact the app developer or visit their support forum, or read the reviews and see if other users are having the same problems.

  • More than one view with iphone SDK.

    Hi
    I'm trying to make more than one view in Interface Builder and then switch between them in xcode. But I can not figure it out.
    I tryed reading guides, watching tutorials, but with no luck.
    Can anyone here give me a small tutorial on how do that?

    Your best bet is to look through the code (and xib files) distributed by Apple. I was in much the same position a couple of months ago, except my expertise was in JEE. It is really not that difficult to get going. Just a regular Cocoa development book can also help you (it helped me understand how to get going).
    Here is what you will start with
    ApplicationDelegate - Will be connected by default in your primary xib file. For simple applications that is all you need. If you need multiple views, you can still make the primary nib file you primary view and lay it out as you need. Add methods as appropriate to remove current view and display next view you want.
    Xxx.nib - Your primary xib file. Layout out as required. Create a UIViewController and connect to the File's Owner. That connects your controller to the view. Make connections to the view components in the xib file, event handlers etc. It is not difficult, but IMO IB is not very intuitive, though you will get the hang of it very quickly.

  • Clip inspector in imovie not working properly - when I select a picture - and select clip adjustment it tells me that I need to select one or more clips to view Inspector tools and in a clip the audio adjustment only shows a speaker? help

    Clip inspector in imovie not working properly - when I select a picture (in project library) - and select clip adjustment it tells me that I need to select one or more clips to view Inspector tools and when I select a movie clip and then click on audio adjustments the audio adjustment appears as a speaker icon and I don't know how to get to the various audio options?

  • Synchronizing 2 or more QT video streams to 2 or more video outputs?

    My students need to play two or more QT video files in sync (ideally contained in the same file) to two or more video outputs. We have an app. called Modul8 which can do this but it's way to complex for operation in an art gallery installation. Does anyone have any suggestions?

    ah, found the answer, the irrelevant video needs to be set to fullScreenTakeOver=false, and then when it's the relevant video, the same property needs to be set to true.

  • Where do videos get stored when received through yahoo messenger

    Hi,
    I was sent a video in yahoo messenger but I can't see where it stores it? If I go to the chat I can no longer select it...
    Can anyone advise?
    Thanks

    It would likley be in the yahoo app itself, or in the Photos app, but I would imagine getting it into the photo app would require action on your part.

    Hello Evaorange
    If you are having an issue with the app downloaded form the App Store, check out the general troubleshooting article below to resolve the issue. If the camera is not working in that app, check other apps to see if the camera is working besides in that app.

  • Video capture with Yahoo Messenger?

    using Yahoo Messenger version 3 beta, is there a way to capture video from the other party?
    thanks!

    There is no application designed that I'm aware of that will allow you to record video from Yahoo. (Like Conference recorder for iChat)
    However, you could use a screen recording application that should accomplish what you are looking for.
