"Your computer does not support video chatting." Sometimes.

Hi, I'm on a MacBook late '08 and my pal has some earlier macbook.
We are on each other's bonjour list. The problem is that sometimes we can have a video conference no problem, and at other, random times, the option is grayed out, and if I go to preferences, the iSight green light goes on, but the window says my computer does not support video chatting, and that's the end of the story. How do I troubleshoot that? Thanks.

Hi,
In the 5 years since iChat 2 came on the scene I have only managed 3 Video chats with people on Satellite connections.
The Issue is the time it takes to bounce the Signal Up and back to the Host server.
When you send for a Web page you send little data packets of requests.
Your computer does not send the next until the first is acknowledged.
It tends to improve once it is started and you may notice any downloads you do seem to get faster the longer they are going.
iChat requires for Video chat that the packets are almost Instantly responded to/acknowledged and most domestic modems do not do this.
Some commercial servers provide a Buffer at one end or the other that acts like the acknowledgement was sent speeding up the process and effectively getting the fastest service you can get out of the connection.
Speed testing your Connection tends to take long enough for the Acknowledgement issue to be reduced and will tell you the max speed you will possibly get
http://www.speedtest.net/ but not the start up speed.
With some services you can pay for the Buffering (I forget the actual name for it)

Hi there, since yesterday its not possible to to start an video chat. It's grey. In the preference of "mesage" under the tap "video" shows the message "this computer does not support video chats. There is no problem with the camera, i can use facetime video and skype video.
Who can help me?

After searching the support communities i found this and it worked!!!
Try:
Quit iChat.
Open Terminal (it's in the Utilities folder, in the Applications folder).
In Terminal type or paste this command on a single line:
defaults write com.apple.iChat newbwdup 300000
Press Return.
Quit Terminal.
Open iChat.
Worked for me!!!

My ichat says "computer does not support video chat" when i have a built in camera. what can i do?

Hi,
In iChat open the Connection Doctor (Video menu) and the the Capabilities option
Are all items showing Green ?
Try restarting iChat (It re-reads the computers Ability at each launch)
If that does not work try restarting the Computer.
Make sure that in iChat menu > Preference > Video Section the Bandwidth Limit is not set to 100kbps (this is too Low for 1-1 video chats)
Do a Speed test
"Real World" speeds need at least 256kbps both up and down.
Check the System Profiler is "seeing" the camera.
It will be in Hardware > USB

This computer does not support video chats

Why does Apple BREAK functionality whenever they 'upgrade' the OS?
BEFORE i upgraded to Mountain Lion, iChat video worked fine.
as you can see from the screen capture, the camera and audio are detected (and working), but Messages thinks my iMac does not support video chats.
any ideas?

hi,
If Messages is starting up at the same time sa the computer then start it separately.
It will "read" the speed it can see at this time and "write" it to the .plist involved.
At computer Start up the Computer is busy making connections itself and uses a large amount of your Bandwidth distorting what iChat or Messages can "See"
Do a Speed test and compare this to what you think you should be getting.
AS you say it can pay to try a router reboot if the speed looks a little low.

Problem with ichat, error message says computer does not support video chat

I have never had a problem with Ichat until yesterday...now apparently I don't have the video capability. I am running 10.7.2. I turned off Facetime. I now have the video camera image but it won't let me video chat. Any ideas?

Says my computer does not support video conferencing?

Just recently whenever i tried to do video chats it tells me my computer does not support video conferencing? How can i fix this?

In the Video Menu open the Connection Doctor and go to the Capabilities tab.
This may give you more info about which things iChat currently thinks it can do and will tell you why It thinks it can not do certain things.
If it says Low Bandwidth against some items you will need to do as Defcom says and alter the Quicktime > Streaming speed (System Preferences > Quicktime > Streaming) to 1.5Mbps and restart iChat to see the new Speed.
Also check in iChat menu > Preferences > Video section that the Bandwidth Limit drop down is not set too low. (Ideally here it should be set to NONE unless you are Comcast or Road Runner) Certainly don't use 100kbps.

IChat says, " This computer does not supporting video conference"

When i log in to iChat dan choose video preview, the window appears with sentence says,"This computer does not supporting video conference" in my Macbook Black with iSight camera built-in. Can anybody solve this ?

The same thing is happening to my brother's computer. He has a PowerBook G4 867MHz with 1.12GB of RAM. This barely meets the system requirements, but, nonetheless, I was able to install Leopard.
It says the reason I can't do a 1-1 video chat is because of a slow network, but it still says this even when I'm using the Bonjour buddy list on a local (54g only) network.
According to the knowledge base article (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=306687), there is no reason why he couldn't participate in a 1-1 video chat.

Computer does not support video conferencing???

I just bought iSight for my iBook G3 on OS 10.3.9. When I turn the iSight on, it does not open iChat. When I open ichat, I can use iSight as a mic, but not for video. I opened iChat>Preferences>Video and found the message, "This computer does not support video conferencing." What does that mean? I tried the iSight on a different iBook and it works fine. System profiler recognizes the iSight plugged into the firewire port, and an iPod works in the firewire port, so the port works. I also tried iMovie>video, but no camera was found.
What do I need to do to get iSight to capture video on my iBook?

Hello Paul,
See Apple's stated System Requirements for iChat AV 2.1.
If your G3 is too slow to work with iChat AV, you can get a work-around by installing iChatUSBCam. (Use the free trial to be sure it does what you want.) There are different versions of iChatUSBCam for Panther and Tiger, so be sure you get the correct one,
I recommend you repair permissions both
b before AND after
doing the installation. That should get you going.

IE11/Win 8.1 error 'Your client does not support opening this list in windows explorer'

I hoping someone might be able to help with this frustrating issue.
I work on a project where we are using various versions of on-line SharePoint (2007/O365). In order to quickly drag and drop folders we need to often open the document libraries by using the 'open in windows explorer view'.
Using the same device, on occassion this works. But often it gives a rather unhelpful message 'Your client does not support opening this list in Windows Explorer'.
I've searched for this issue over the net and confirm that the sites are added to the 'trusted' sites area and that the 'remember you credientials' is checked on logging in.However, the searches do not seem to apply to IE11/Win8.1 or on-line version of sharepoint
(the suggested hot fix is not suitable)
Only this morning, using the same device I was able, for a short while to open in explorer view, and then for no apparent reason, it began to display the error message. I had changed nothing regarding settings or even closed the browser.
Do you have any support/ideas/fixes on how to resolve this.
Many thanks
val

Hi Val,
sometimes an answer can be found on the internet by typing the error message from your computer into your favourite search engine.
eg.

follow the directions given above.... you need to add the domains to your Intranet sites list, not the Trusted sites list.
Perhaps you already have it mapped to your intranet zone....in which case make sure that you have unchecked "Enable Enhance Protected Mode" on the Intranet zone dialog in Internet Options.
If this is happening 'randomly' on client machines, then users are probably changing their internet security settings in Internet Options. Ensure they are accepting the default.... Internet Options>Security tab, click "Reset all zones to default".
Consult with your system administrators to find out if they are applying a custom security template for the Intranet zone... It may be removing the sharepoint domains from the client Intranet zone's domains lists.
HTH.

Your Computer does not contain a proper graphics adapter??

I treated my self to a new Macbook Pro with the AMD Radeon HD 6750M 1GB graphics cards..
Now that I've got everything up and running just dandy I Bootcamped Windows 7 (64 bit) on it to see how it would handle some gaming, I tried installing the latest graphics drivers from AMD and am presented with this error message :
"Your Computer does not contain a proper graphics adapter."
Is this normal?? Has Apple restricted the installations of drivers on the MBP or have I got a problem?

Hi folks! I was scouring the web for some answers and got pulled to this thread. I've got a mid-2011 iMac 27", i7 with the 2gb HD 6970M (bootcamping Win7, 64-bit) and I also get that same error as OrphanGymnast when attempting to play the Battlefield 3 Beta. Whenever I try to join a server it says my Catalyst version is out of date and that I need to upgrade, in turn it only references the generic AMD url. However, the game still manages to play, but I'm not sure if I'm getting the proper performance I should be getting with the latest driver. Anyway I tried AMD's auto detector and nothing...same message shown above in the OP. Now I find myself here.
I'm not that hardcore about pc gaming so messing around with drivers and such is pretty new to me. From what I gather the reason for getting, the "Your Computer does not contain a proper graphics adapter." is because mobile/laptop GPU's have to rely on their manufacturers (Apple, in our case) to roll out their specific driver updates and not AMD. I used the following links, but encountered a few problems.
Driver Install Instructions for Win7: http://support.amd.com/us/kbarticles/Pages/GraphicsDriverInstallationInstruction forMicrosoftWindows7.aspx
ATI Catalyst Mobility Display Driver: http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/windows/Pages/radeonmob_win7-64.aspx#2
When I tried to uninstall the current ATi catalyst it was not showing up in "Programs and Features". I figured I could then just run the CCC and saw there was an uninstall option through there. CCC ran the uninstall, but the progress bar got hung up about 99% of the way through and after about a half hour in that state, I decided to End Task. By now, my display is all out of wack since it deleted the original driver. I rebooted and proceeded to install the 11.9 catalyst and that too got hung up about halfway through for a while...had to End Task again. Rebooted and display was still jacked up so I just threw back in my Bootcamp Support Disc and repaired drivers...now all things back to normal (display driver v8.812).
So now that I'm back at square one, would anyone that successfully updated their mobile GPU care to tell me where I messed up? I would greatly appreciate it. I apologize for the long read, but I wanted to be as clear as possible.
Thanks!

Your Client Does not Support Opening this list with Windows Explorer on Windows Server 2012 R2

I am trying to open a document library in Internet Explorer 11 on a Windows 2012 R2 server and I am receiving Your Client Does not Support Opening this list with Windows Explorer

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to open a document library with the Internet Explorer 11 on a Windows 2012 R2 server. But you received the following error message: Your client
does not support opening this list with Windows Explorer.
There can be multiple reasons for it.
So, I recommend you can check with the following steps:
Go to the “Server Manager” of “Administrative Tools” > Enable the “Desktop Experience” feature in your environment.
Go to the “Services” of “Administrative Tools” >
Ensure the “WebClient” service is started.
Ensure that your computer has supported Web browser.
Ensure that Internet Explorer is configured correctly to add
https://*.sharepoint.com to Local intranet site in the “Security Tab” of “Internet Options”.
Ensure that
you have applied the latest updates on the system.
For more information, you can refer to the following articles:

In SharePoint 2010 Document Library "Open with Explorer" Your client does not support opening this list with Windows Explorer

Hi.
I am getting below error "Your client does not support opening this list with Windows Explorer" while click "Open with Explorer" option in document library.
My system is client machine which is 32 Bit system and
Web Client service is also running and Window 7 PC.

Please help me on it. Its making frustrations.
Thanks & Regards

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you got “Your client does not support opening this list with Windows Explorer” error.
Did you enable the both authentication (Windows and FBA) on default zone.
As far as I remember when FBA is enabled on the same zone when Windows is used, it breaks whole client integration.
So it will be better if you will recheck your architecture and will use different zones for Windows and FBA.
There is also another thing to try: use claims based authentication with authentication provider which will work both with Windows and FBA.
What’s more, you can also check with below steps.
Use compatibility mode to check whether it works.
Open IE->Tools->Compatibility View Settings
Add the site into Trusted sites to check whether it works..
Open the IE->Internet Options->Security->Sites->add the site into the Websites, then check whether it works.
In addition, you can also try to enable Basic authentication on the client computer, by setting the BasicAuthLevel registry entry of the following key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\WebClient\Parameters

Trying to open a sharepoint library in Windows Explorer via IE 8 results in the error "your client does not support opening this list with windows explorer"

I am attempting to connect to a Microsoft Sharepoint library, via the "Actions -> Open in Windows Explorer" option from the Sharepoint page. When I do so, I get the error message "your client does not support opening this list with windows explorer". In short, I am trying to get the "drag and drop" functionality of a Sharepoint library.
I am running Windows 7 64-bit and IE8. The target Sharepoint environment is a MOSS 2007 EE. My Windows "WebClient" service is running, and I have no problem connecting to this exact library via a Windows XP computer running IE8.

Verify that the Webclient is started automatically from the Services.msc
Verify that your Portal is in the Intranet local security zone (You can reach it from Your Internet Explorer Browser Security Tag) if not add it to the list
restart the WebClient service if it's work good
If not you have to create a network share to your portal URL directly not your documents library.
Open Windows Explorer or My Computer from the Windows Start Menu.
From the Tools menu, click Map Network Drive…. A new Map Network Drive window opens.
In the Map Network Drive window, choose an available drive letter from the dropdown list located next to the "Drive:" option. Any drives already mapped will have a shared folder name displayed inside the dropdown list, next to the drive letter.
Type the name of the folder to map wich is in this case your SharePoint Portal URL (Don't include the documents libraries)
Click the "Reconnect at login" checkbox if this network drive should be mapped permanently. Otherwise, this drive will un-map when the user logs out of this computer.
If the remote computer that contains the shared folder requires a different username and password to log in, click the "different user name" hyperlink to enter this information.
Click Finish.
I am looking for a suite method :)
