IChat is the MOST problematic OS X app for me...

Okay, so a while back my iChat stopped working. I knew a couple of other ports that would work, so I changed it in iChat prefs from port 5190 to 443. My iChat will NOT work unless I have it on 443. Other people in my house can't get iChat access unless it's on 443 too. I know I just need to open a port of something in my router, just tell me how! PLEASE!
Here's the biggest problem- I can video chat with some people, and I can't with others.
I'm on a Netgear RANGEMAX router.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Jro1,
Some MIMO devices are a problem for iChat.
However I have a Netgear DG834GUK.
What I had to do in the WAN setup page was disable the DOS (Denial of Service) setting.
Denial of Service protection is designed to stop any web server you are running from being over-run by request for pages. If too much data comes to your modem it basically isolates your computer from what it sees as an attack.
It is supposed to be a security/helpful feature.
If you are not running a web server then feel free to disable this function.
On Some devices it has a name Called the SPI (Stateful Packet Inspecion) firewall.
Sometimes these have setting to change the level at which they become active.

  • What is the best and easiest print app for the iPad and iPhone?

    What is the best and easiest print app for the iPad?

    Richard-
    The best and easiest is to use the iPad's built-in AirPrint system with an AirPrint-capable printer.  <iOS: AirPrint 101>
    If you do not have an AirPrint-capable printer, all printing Apps are a compromise.  I have an HP non-AirPrint printer connected to my WiFi router.  The free HP App, ePrint Home & Biz works OK with photos.
    Print n Share and PrintCentral each have their own browser, mail, text and photo programs that work well with the printer, but they can only be accessed from within other programs that have the "Open In" option.  (So far, I think GoodReader is the only App I have with that option.)
    You can run a program like Printopia or FingerPrint on your computer that will share its printer as AirPrint over WiFi.  They both are reported to work well.  However your computer must be on and awake any time you want to print.  <Printopia for Macintosh>  <FingerPrint for PC and Mac>

  • Does the new version of Mail.app for Leopard have this DELAY feature?

    Can you delay sending an email until XXXX date and XXXX time, like you can in Eudora?
    I know mail.app currently has some scripts that allow for this functionality, but I'd really like to see it built right into mail.app. Can the new version of mail.app for Leopard do this?
    Thanks.

    Not to my knowledge.

  • What is the most demaming develop dba out for as oracle 10g?

    I am look into develop a dba to sale, what is the most demaming database out
    there for company small to mid business?

    OcpJames,
    As I understand it you want to develop an HR application for resale. I developed a HR/Personnel Management System a long time ago. It took a long time to develop mostly due to the many layers of reporting and government regulation that must be accounted for, and was a hard sell. I'm sure by now that has gotten even worse with Sarbanes/Oxley, etc. In addition many states having differing regulations and reporting. I would be extremely surprised if any company would risk running their HR system on a remote server or would use a remote DBA due to the risk involved, since they are directly responsible under the law. However, you might be able to find a niche market where you can fill a need, and that is certainly what I would aim for. Study the marketplace and determine what that would be, try to find a customer that will work with you and go for it.
    Keep Smiling,

    When i update the ios 8.2 new apps for apple watch i dont have.please advice

    It was the first thing mentioned in the update description that came up before you chose to click 'Accept'. iOS8.2
    You accepted, therefore you have it. Simply put it at the end of your Apps as I have done with Apps I did not want e.g.. Health, Tips, Compass etc.

  • Will the print n share pro app for i pad printer work

    WIl the Print n share pro app for i pad printer work?

    Jspence706-
    I have the non-pro version of Print n Share.  It works OK as long as I use the built-in programs for text, web browsing, mail and photo.  However, it can only be accessed from within other Apps that have the "Open In" option.
    I'm printing to a networked HP LaserPrinter using the PS (Postscript) setup.
    Another alternative is to share your computer's printer as AirPrint over WiFi.  There are programs like Printopia and FingerPrint that can do that, and are reported to work well.  Your computer must be on and awake any time you want to print.

    Yes I do spend a lot of time in China but I have had problems in other countires as well.  I am in China right now.
    I have two Gmail accounts and one Cox account.  Cox is my intranet provider back home.  I have had problems with all three accounts. 
    I have tried several outgoing port settings.  993, 995 465, 587 are some that I can remember trying.
    Sometimes my accounts will go offline without me doing anything.  This is all a mystery to me.  I don't have any idea why I have trouble like this.  A few minutes ago I changed my Cox account outgoing port and took the account on line and I got my incoming email but when I tried to forward an email that I got it would not go out. 
    Any ideas you have would be helpful.

  • Getting the most out of my T400 for light gaming

    So I just got a used T400 to play around with while I'm overseas. It is the model with the P9400 and ATI HD3470. It was an old corporate laptop that was refurbished and sold over ebay. So far it has been great. I know not to expect great performance when gaming but I'm wondering if anyone has any tips and tricks to really get the most out of it. 
    Do you think it would be worth it to open it up and blow it out? Also, the battery is a 9-cell but I'm only getting about 3 hours out of it. I know it is from sitting at a desk for years just plugged in all the time. Is there anything I can do to improve it? Or should I just get a new one?
    Thanks so much!

    Other than upgrading the hardware (you could also uprade to a larger faster hard drive or even SSD)...
    For YouTube (and other web sites that use Flash-based video), install ClickToPlugin Safari extension
    http://hoyois.github.com/safariextensions/clicktoplugin/
    In YouTube, with Safari and ClickToPlugin, HTML5-based version of the video (which is there mostly for mobile devices like iPhone and iPad) often gets played instead of the Flash-based version.  HTML5 video is more efficient, especially on PowerPC Macs.  On my Power Mac G5, playback is noticeable better with the HTML5 content (compared to Flash).  Also, ClickToPlugin prevents Flash-based ads on the same web page from loading, taking more load off the aging G5 processor.
    Create a new user account in System Preferences Accounts pane.  Log out and log in to the new user account (do not use Fast User Switching).  Do the things you normally to on your iMac using the new user account.  If things seem to run better in the new account, you should investigate what is happening in your normal user account.  You may have background processes (that start up automatically when you log in) which may or may not be necessary.  These may come from apps you have installed over time, which you may no longer use regularly.

  • What's the best Bluetooth file sharing app for iPhone

    I'm trying to find a good BT file sharing app for an iPhone 5. I've noticed that the iPhone 5 won't even detect devices such as other phones or computers with BT but seems to have no issue with BT accessories such as satnav. My iPod touch has no problem detecting any BT device which seems odd.
    So, is there a good BT file sharing app availble for an iPhone 5?

    You won't find any Bluetooth File Sharing app that will work with non-iOS devices. That is something iOS simply does not support.

  • What is the best voice to text app for iPad Air?

    I had the app Dragon (a voice to text app), on my iPhone and downloaded it to my iPad Air, but it's not working. Reading the "help" area it says something about ATT iPads don't support it. I have ATT.
    But, I can open the app and it reads "Tap and dictate" as though all is fine and dandy and then after practically yelling into almost every part of the iPad (to no avail), it just says " Sorry message not recognized. Please try again."
    Can anyone help me on this?  Also is there a better/best dictation app for iPad?
    Thanks, Joan

    You can use text-to-speech in any app. I'm a big fan of the app Drafts as it allows two touch tranfer to any number of other applications, not unlike how I recall Dragon worked. If you don't want to spring for Drafts (though I can't recommend it highly enough!), you can always use the built in Notes app then copy and paste when you're done. 
    No, you can't see the words as you speak. However, you can always stop after a couple of sentences and review.
    Best of luck.

  • What version of Windows Office will work for my OS X 10.5.8; also what is the most up-dated browser available for my system?

    What version of Windows Office will work for my OS X 10.5.8, and also what is the most updated browser available for my system?

    Sorry for my typo. Ofice 2008 will continue to run on Leopard and Leopard includes Safari 5.0.6. A G4 s an old machine and you will not get much speed when surfing the internet.
    Leopard is no longer avilable from Apple, and costs around $200 on eBay or Amazon.
