hi,


Start up the computer using Safe Mode

Once it has fully launched this way, Restart the computer.

Hi,


You just needed to Restart using the option in the Apple Icon Menu top Left of the menu bar.

HI,


If the Buddy can't see you as having a camera then go to the Video Menu of the app.

Depending on version it will have either Camera Enabled or Video Chat Enabled and this should be ticked.

Same for Audio/Microphone Enabled.


Also go to the View menu and tick the Show items for Video and Audio as this makes the green icons appear in th Buddy list for you Buddies and can also effect what Buddies see as your capabilities.
