Q: IChat Video Chat not working!!

Today is the first day I attempted to use Video Chat on my new computer. Low and behold it doesn't work! Surprise surprise, first day of college and I can't video chat with family/friends. When someone sends me an invitation I click accept, and it goes through for a second and then it says Invitation waiting from... and it doesn't give me an accept or decline. So I accept once and then it asks me all over again to accept the invitation but doesnt give me any buttons to accept it or deny it.

 

I NEED HELP ASAP!!

    Hi,

     

    Which version of the OS ?

    Which version of iChat ?

     

    New Computer but listing iChat suggests Lion and iChat 6

     

    Does your college allow Video chatting ?

    Some clamp down on it for "security" reasons, others as they see it as a Bandwidth drain.

     

    Have you tested the college has the ports open for iChat ?

    Do they use a VoIP/SIP Phone system ?

    You already have your own thread going.

     

    In this case the College/University/Campus is likely to be the issue and in that case you will have a different issue to the Original Poster of this thread.

     

    I read and answer everything in the iChat Forum - you will not be missed.

     

    I have been distracted since Mountain Lion was released also trying to keep up with "Messages" tagged posts in the Mountain Lion area.
    Rarely do I get more than 24 hours behind.
