Why Does My Mac Camera Work For Facetime But Not Skype

Do this: Settings --> General --> Software Update. • You should use the proper technique for calling the target user. In case of iPhone, use the phone number. • Attempt to switch off the app and then turn it on once more with the help of FaceTime --> Preferences. • Check whether the software is activated. Do it in Settings --> FaceTime.

Do we need to 'start' YouCam? Is that something that is new to Skype?? Or do we need our Family in England to do something??

FaceTime does not work with Android phones or other computer operating systems You cannot share an Apple ID with a caller–even if that caller has a different email or phone number Try using a different WiFi network or better yet, an Ethernet connection. However, I can make a Skype call, and if I open FaceTime, the FaceTime camera will work if I select it as the camera to use in the Skype video preferences. However, I do not usually use FaceTime - none of my friends have it but one.

When I check Skype preferences there is no picture from the camera, yet the little green light is on by the camera. I have reloaded the latest version of skype but still no visuals. Info: MacBook Air, Mac OS X (10.7.3) Jun 11, 2012 Upgraded to Lion and now Skype won't recognise the imac camera. 'Built in isight' is listed in the video prefrences but the test screen is blank. The Skype calls show a video icon with a cross through it and when I click it it blinks, then stays crossed off.

3. Skype was working fine but when I called yesterday my camera is not working. I can hear and see my caller and he can hear me but no picture of me. When I check Skype preferences there is no picture from the camera, yet the little green light is on by the camera. I have reloaded the latest version of skype but still no visuals. Info: MacBook Air, Mac OS X (10.7.3) Jun 4, 2010 has audio and headphones 3.5 mm females. I would like to know if buying a cheapo headset (with mic) with the 2 x 3.5 miniplugs would work for Skype phone calls or I would rather get a USB headset Jun 19, 2012 just a quick question, will any webcam work on my 06 mac mini or do i need a specific make? Ive been looking on the internet but different websites say different things and i need to know before i buy one. Info: Mac mini, Mac OS X (10.4.11) Jul 11, 2008 so my colleague's computer, a G5 powermac, had to have the harddrive replaced a month ago.

After a while it said '1 HFS has been repaired'. It also said that Macintosh HD doesn't seem to have a problem', so I quit the disc utility and restarted the computer. Against my expectation, the same white screen with apple came up on the screen and sits there with no other movements.I'm afraid of trying somethinig without further so I hope I can get the same story or ideas that someone here might have.

You now have a spare copy of all files in the source, ready in case any of the original files disappear. Intego backup for mac review.

Now, FaceTime should work. Reviews for photo scanners. Once the reset is done, you can then restore data from the back up you created.

As I understand your response, you have discussed your issue with at least one Apple manager.

Sometimes calls fail. Calling someone or receiving a call from someone simply won’t work!
