grr, my family just bought 2 iSight cameras. we hooked both of them up to different computers. The computers find each other over Rondevou (or however you spell it). When one computer invites another computer, and the computer accepts the invitation, it says on the other computer "thisperson is currently in another conference"

it does the same thing with audio. does anyone know why this is happening?:(

thx, we were real excited about these cameras

hmm, well its the network, we have figured out. but it still doesnt work....:(

that would do nothing because it works, just not with anyone in my network. for instance, i could chat with you fine, but if you were in my network, i wouldnt be able to.


throw away the prefs file?:confused:

I'm sure this would work, even over a network. Try e-mailing Apple and/or trying their knowledge base if you're still having any other issues. Or if you have a local Apple Store, ask the genious.

Please don't blame the iSight. :p

huh...

i've been using iChat AV with Rendezvous and I can audio chat with my family on our network perfectly. However, we do not use iSight yet, we are using the built-in microphones in our Macs.
I hope this is not an iSight problem because we were planning on purchasing a couple of them for the family. :(

Make sure both your computers don't have the same IP address and also different to the router.

eg this is correct:
10.0.1.0 Router
10.0.1.2 PC1
10.0.1.3 PC2 etc

eg this is wrong:
10.0.1.1 Router
10.0.1.1 PC1
10.0.1.1 PC2 etc

i know the ips arent the same because mac os x detects if someone else has the same as ip as, therfore not being able to do anything internet related.
