Hi Caricossmith,
Welcome to the Apple Discussions
This sounds like port 5190 on the UDP protocol has either been missed if you made new settings somewhere or is not part of a Port Forwarding setting now that a DHCP issued IP has changed.
It could also be that your iChat Preferences > Accounts > Security settings is are Blocking everyone.
It could be that the .plist com.apple.ichat.AIM.plist has become corrupt and is not lettign you log in properly to the AIM servers. There are several required for different purposes)
You can delete this plist in Users/(your account)/Library/Preferences and restart iCHat to recreate it from it's default.

  • Help! itunes 12 wont allow users to redownload past purchases all at once like it used to. Is there a way around this?

    Help! For some reason i-tunes 12 wont allow users to re-download past purchases all at once like it used to. Is there a way around this? It will only allow you to download what it calls "Recent Purchases" which in my case only would allow 250 items. I know i have at least 700 tracks if not substantially more possibly over 2000 tracks but I can't be sure. I don't know how to find that information, I've looked in itunes under the my account past purchases but id doesn't tell you how many total songs you have purchased or any relevant details. It only shows you small chunks of receipts by date but no total tracks purchased in an easy to view snapshot that I could find. The current support page says that if you have more then 2000 songs the "ALL SONGS" tab now listed above the left pan with all your purchased artists, will change to "Recent Purchases". IF apple changed this on purpose to stop user from downloading there entire library to cut down on bandwidth they have really upset me this time. At present the only way I can download all past purchases is by selecting each artist listed in the left pan one by one selecting the "Download ALL" button at the bottom right corner of the page at which point I have to input my apple password each time, which really slows things down. I have hundreds of artists and if this is the only way for customers to re-download there entire library this is ridiculous and really unnecessary to put customers through this kind hassle just to re-download all there past purchases when the whole idea of i-cloud is to make downloading and using your music simple, quick, and convenient on multiple devices. I know the old saying "your responsible for backing up your data" yeah I know that and I've been doing that for years when no one really should ever have had too. There is no reason a service that sells music digitally should not allow customers to be able to re download content purchased on there service regardless of the fact that people should just back up anyway as an extra precaution. Well sometimes backups fail like in my case and I have to re-download. No wonder paid subscription plans are so popular. You don't have to deal with any of these issues. I can only hope this is some kind of oversight by apple and will be fixed soon. Can anyone offer a quicker solution or any information about this issue? I would greatly appreciate any helpful assistance.
    Again this is for Windwos 8.1 x64 with Itunes 12.0.1.26

    After spending way too much time dealing with this issue myself, I discovered that you can:
    - Within "My Music", select all the songs you need to download (all w/ the cloud icon - use Shift-Click)
    - Right click and select download
    All songs will begin downloading from iCloud

    To migrate your phone to a new account, start by saving any photo stream photos that you want to keep to your camera roll (unless already there) by opening your my photo stream album, tapping Select, tapping the photos, tap the share icon (box with upward facing arrow), then tapping Save to Camera Roll.  If you are syncing notes with iCloud that you want to keep on the phone, you'll need to open each of your notes and email them to yourself so you can later copy and paste the text into new notes created in your new account.  Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account (which only deletes it from this device, not from iCloud; your other devices won't be effected by this), provide the password to turn off Find My iPhone (if using iOS 7) and choose Keep on My iPhone when prompted .  Then sign back in with your new Apple ID to create your new account and choose Merge to upload your data to the new account.

    set the wake-on lan on the main computer
    The laptop's too far away from the router to be connected by ethernet. It's all wifi.
    No separate server app on the laptop, it's all samba
    The files are on a windows laptop and a hard drive hooked up to the windows laptop. The windows share server is pants, so I'd need some sort of third party server running. Maybe you weren't suggesting to use Samba to connect to the windows share though?
    I'm glad that you've all understood my ramblings and taken and interest, thanks The way I see it, I can't be the only netbook user these days looking for this kind of convenience, and I certainly won't be once chrome and moblin hit the market.

  • Time machine won't back up like it used to.

    After months of an almost flawless relationship with my computer & external drives, time machine has found a way to ruin things. I searched the internet wide but still can't find a solution that works for my situation.
    The problem started when I purchased a new drive to store data on. My goal was to organize the drives - music/video, photos, and cpu. I have been using a 1tb lacie drive for backing up with time machine successfully, but adding an additional drive seems to have confused thing. I also changed the name of the old drive (not the back up drive - so I thought it wouldn't matter - but now I suspect it i did). The data hasn't really changed at all , it's just been moved to different locations.
    Now when i try to back up
    -my machine pin wheels (i hate that beach ball!). everything loads slowly. typing this is taking forever.
    -running applications freeze without being able to force quit
    -my computer won't shut down properly
    -i had to unplug my drives several times just to regain control of my computer
    - i have to use the power button to force my computer on & off.
    and messages i've received about the process
    -"preparing" for over 24 hours with no results
    -"Event store UUIDs don't match for volume"
    -"Node requires deep traversal" which it never seems to get through
    -"No pre-backup thinning needed"
    i tried to delete previous back ups in order to make more room on the drive. I deleted each back up - by date- in time machine , but the files remain on the drive. they don't appear to have really deleted and each date appears with the message "zero date not marked for delete" and listed as "partially deleted back up"
    spotlight also used to hold up the process so i excluded all 3 of my external drives from indexing.
    i have been having a particularly hard time with itunes. i moved the library to a larger external drives. At this point it won't start up or quit. Only when time machine is off will it work normally.
    i would post the entire log(s) but there are so many and with each change they've been almost completely different. Overall the result has been the same - time machine is not doing it's job.
    most recently i've received Error: (-36)
    I am trying to avoid reformatting the drive just in case some of my files get lost in the confusion, or i need to restore from a back up.
    any feedback would be greatly appreciated!

    Renaming a drive that's being backed-up means Time Machine thinks it's a new drive. On the next backup, it will back it up completely. That should cause one large, lengthy backup.
    The symptoms you list all sound like something is corrupted on one or more of the drives, or is hanging your backups.
    i tried to delete previous back ups in order to make more room on the drive.
    Unfortunately, other than using special "deny everybody everything" permissions, Apple doesn't do a very good job of warning folks to *+never, ever, move, change, or delete anything in your Time Machine backups via the Finder+* as that can hopelessly corrupt them.
    Normally, you shouldn't have to delete backups manually, as TM will delete your oldest backups automatically when it needs room for new ones, unless you have the +Warn when old backups are deleted+ box checked in TM Preferences > Options. But in some cases you may want to delete a particular backup, or all backups of selected items (like the previous backups of a drive you've renamed). Time Machine provides a way to do that. See #12 in the Frequently Asked Questions *User Tip* at the top of this forum.
    spotlight also used to hold up the process so i excluded all 3 of my external drives from indexing.
    Yes, sometimes Spotlight and Time Machine backups conflict, so we do recommend excluding the TM drive from Spotlight at least temporarily when they occur, especially on an initial backup.
    Your backups are likely corrupted. You can try a +*Repair Disk+* (not permissions) on them via Disk Utility (in your Applications/Utilities folder), which will take quite a while and may not succeed; or you can reformat your TM drive completely and let TM start over.
    You should also probably check all your drives/partitions via #C1 in the Time Machine - Troubleshooting *User Tip* at the top of this forum. If one or more are not set up properly, that can be a cause of trouble, too.
    After all that, I'd suggest excluding all the externals from TM temporarily, via TM Preferences > Options, and running a backup of only your internal HD. If that works ok, then remove one exclusion and run another backup. Repeat until done, or the problems start again.
    If they do start again, you'll know which drive is the problem and can address it.
    By the way, what's the total size of the data on your internal HD and all the externals you want TM to back up? Note that to work well, TM usually needs 2-3 times that much space, although it may work with 1.5 or so, at least for a while.

  • I uploaded the giftcard money to my itunes account. and now when i try and buy a song it keeps saying that it has to charge my card. why wont it let me use the giftcard money? how can i fix this?

    i put money to my itunes account. and now when i try and buy a song it keeps saying that it has to charge my card. why wont it let me use the giftcard money? how can i fix this?

    If you still have your old card listed on your account then try selecting the 'none' option and remove it and then try entering the card's details from scratch. If that doesn't work then what is the full error message that you are getting, and the card is registered to the same name and address (including format and spacing) that you have on your iTunes account ?

  • Using ms project 2007 and vba macro to list all the custom fields used in the project?

    Hi,Using ms project 2007 vba macro, I would like to be able to list all the custom fields used in the project and their corresponding field names. e.g. let us say I create a calculated duration field and name it "expected duration" and the name
    of the field I select is Duration1.
    I am trying to write a macro that will list all the used custom fields such as the result would look like:
    Duration1 ---> "expected duration"
    Text1       ---> "anything"
    Flag1        ---> "....."
    Number1  ---> "..............."
    Can anyone provide me with the solution?
    Regards,
    Chuck

    John,
    I found this module, which provides the the list of custom fields used in the project but does not provide the name given to the field. Here below is the module and hope you could help me achieve this by modifying the macro to list the renamed field.

    'do it by replacing the pjTask constant with pjResource.
