I have a problem. Whenever I want to invite one of my buddies to video chat,I find the icon grey. I'm using a wireless router at the speed of 256 kbps. Any ideas?
Suddenly, my ichat stopped working. When trying to do video ichats, I got a "communication error" message. I spent hours scouring the net, making software changes, and going crazy trying to fix my ichat. Nothing worked until I saw this video.
I only had location, "Automatic". I duplicated it, selected the new "Automatic Copy" location, and now ichat works again.
Wow. I have no idea how that worked. But it did. In my mind, that solution was about as relevant as quitting Photoshop; I would never have thought that changing locations would have had anything to do with the problem at all.
I'm having the same Error. Was on the Phone with Apple & Belkin(my Router). They had me go into Router Settings. Here is there Instruction: "By default, iChat on Mac OS X 10.5 attempts to use UDP port 16402 for all audio-video iChat traffic. If port 16402 is not available, iChat will try the next lowest port for the next ten ports, until it finds a port that it can use. So the range of ports that must be enabled in your router or firewall must include 16393-16402".
please help. my friend and i have both the same imac w/ version 10.4 and ichat version 3. we used to be able to video chat when i was on satellite internet and my friend on dsl, but not anymore. my friend has dsl and i have cable internet. we are very confused as to what to do and how to fix the problem so that we can video chat. Please Help! would appreciate it
I've never commented a video before, but thank you!!
