Hi Z,
Lets check the Port Forwarding at your end.
Does this Zyxel have UPnP at all ?
If so use that and disable the Port Forwarding.
If not then these ports need to be forwarded.
I will list with Protocols as some device need these.
TCP 5190 for AIM Login and text chats (can be substituted for 443)
TCP 5220, 5222 and 5223 for Jabber (the last is for OS X servers and GoogleTalk)
TCP 5298 this is part of the Bonjour set up for iChat if you have other Macs
UDP 5060 this is for the SIP negotiation that iChat needs
UDP 5678 this is where the visible invites come and go out on.
UDP 5190 for AIM file sending and Group chats
UDP 16384-16403 This group of 20 ports is where any Audio or Video chat takes place.
As the 443 port is below 1024 (the NAT threshold) you should not have to Forward this.

  • Help! cant seem to get video chat working

    Hi can anyone help me as I'm going mad!

    there was a communication error during your chat
    did not receive a response from "my partner"
    other computer is a macbook pro 2.53 GHZ intel core 2 duo running os 10.5.5
    any suggestions/ideas/fixes greatly appreciated!

    Hi
    First have you set the Quicktime streaming setting, goto sys prefs/quicktime/streaming/streaming speed, set to 1.5mbps
    In ichats prefs click on video and change bandwidth limit to none.
    Restart iChat.
    And try me defcom1 .mac account.

  • Multiple Video Chat works between three but not between two of the three

    I'm connecting three Macbooks using iChat AV. If I initiate the session the other two accept and we have a three way video chat. Either of the other two can initiate a video chat with me. Problem:
    neither of them can initiate a video chat with the other. All three Macbooks seem to have the same preferences etc.
    Solution?
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    How are the ports opened in the Connection device (modems and routers) at each end ?
    Sometimes two modems don't like the way the other does NAT

  • How do I get reminders to work between ical and google calendar

    I have searched and searched, read dozens of posts, and still have found nothing that shows how to get reminders to work in ical. One post said to disable all event reminders in the google interface-did not make any difference; setting them up in google-did not work; etc etc
    Specifically, I am on a macbook pro, snow leopard, ical 4.0.4; my wife is on the same system, but using an iMac.
    since snow leopard does not support the cloud, and mobilme is gone, we were 'forced' to use google calendar to sync events between our two computers; that part seems to work fine; most of the time.
    But neither of us can get a reminder to pop up in ical, when the event is one that goes to google; if the event is one that is "on my mac", then those kind of event reminders do work.
    this is not about syncing reminders; it is about me tring to make a medical appt event remind me a few hours before, so I don't forget it, like happened last week!!
    Mainly I am expecting anyone that responds to this post to say, yes you are right, there is no way to get a 'caldav' event reminder to work anymore.
    If anyone says "I found a way..." I will be knocked over :-)  (but overjoyed); I am happy to use terminal, plist editor, or anything else, if someone can fix this.

    can anyone help with this, even if just to confirm that there is no fix?

  • Cannot get messages to sync between mac and iphone

    Just upgraded to the 5s, my iMessages now has my old Apple ID stored (thought the rest of the phone has the current apple ID) and will not let me change it to so it syncs properly with my Mac (using the up to date ID).  Every time I try to get messages to send through the Apple ID, it tries to make me sign into the old ID, but does not give me a chance to change to the current ID.  Any advice on how to do this?
    Thank you!

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    First check that all your settings are correct, that notes syncing (mail and notes on a computer) is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
    Make sure the notes you are adding are added to your 'iCloud' account and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone'  or other non iCloud account (you can do this by checking in accounts on an iOS device, or the left side panel in mail on a computer), non iCloud notes will not sync.
    If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your notes are in the iCloud group, you might try unchecking notes syncing (mail and notes on a computer) in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling notes syncing.

  • HT1452 I want to reset the permissions on a western digital external hard drive to work between mac and windows... How can I do this easily?

    I have a MacBook Pro and have recently bought a Western Digital external hard drive.  I used it on my windows laptop first and unfortunately now on the Mac it is read only.  How can I set it so that I can use it successfully between the both the Mac and windows laptop?
    Thanks

    You will need to pull all the information off first. The formatting will erase it all.
    Use Disk Utility (in Applications >> Utilities or use Spotlight to find it). On the left select your WD drive and then select the Erase tab. Where it says Format, select exFat in the drop-down menu. Next, click Erase and done. It will take approx. 5-15mins to re-format.
    Cons: You will be unable to store files 4GB or larger in this format (usually only dmg/iso files or large Outlook files). Also, you will be unable to use Time Machine or other auto-backup programs.
    That is not entirely correct, there is no 4G limit using exFat, FAT32 is the one with the limit.

  • Airdrop does not work between Mac and iPhone

    Hi,
    i have an iMac 27" late 2013 with OSX 10.10.1 on it and an
    iPhone 5s with iOS 8.1.1 installed.
    Both have WiFi and Bluetooth turned on.
    The iPhone can see all other iPhones around me but neither my iPhone nor alle the other iPhones can see my Mac and visa verse.
    I could not yet test if the Mac is able to see any other mac in Airdrop because i have no other Mac around.
    I already did a PRAM reset but that did not help.
    Any suggestions?

    I think you have to be running the same OS on those two devices in order for AirDrop to function properly.
    Aidrop is pretty much usless unless you are in a need to transfer files between your macbooks and iMacs and vice versa; how many average OS users have two macbooks or two iMacs????
    But that's why a great number of Apple users would like to transfer their stuff from their iPads and their iPhones to their Macs every day. I really hope this is on the to-do list by Apple, otherwise it would be shame not to have Airdrop that is cross-platform functional.

  • Please can someone help me have tried to get icloud to work on ipad and iphone 4

    Hi everyone
    have set up icloud on both ipad2 and iphone but it is not pushing the data to each device? It says it has backed up am I doing something wrong please can someone tell me how to get it to work, many thanks

    You only need to enter your information once. Ideally, turn on iCloud first. If you have already entered data in multiple devices and then turn on iCloud, you may have some duplicates to clean up.
    You don't need to have anything plugged in. Just turn on iCloud. Your pictures will show up on all devices.

  • ICloud tabs for Safari work between Mac and iPhone 5 but not iPad 3

    All my devices are signed in with my same ID account. My Mac and Iphone 5 are communicating just fine but my iPad 3 is not receving or sending its iCloud tabs. Safari is enabled in the iCloud setting on the iPad and private browsing is not enabled on any device. Whats wrong?

    Try going to Settings>iCloud on your iPad and turning Safari Off, then back On.

  • I use the "Bootcamp" on my Mac to work between Mac and Windows. How do I get my iTunes music from the Mac side of my hard drive to the Windows side?

    I use my "Bootcamp" harddrive to work on both the Mac side and Windows7 side of my computer. How do I get my Itunes Library from the Mac side to the Windows side of my Mac Book Pro?

    Time Capsule is for backing up your data. It's not really a solution for live file storage; using it will not reduce the bloat of your boot volume.
    If you have a lot of movies, music, etc. in your iTunes Library, that can be a good thing to move to an external drive. Here's how:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1449
    After you follow those instructions to copy your media over to the external drive and point iTunes to it, you can delete it from your internal drive.

  • Help getting tabs to sync between mac and tablet

    I have tabs that refuse to sync consistently, if at all between my Mac with 10.9 and an Android tablet 4.2. I have current versions of the apps.
    I have tried creating a new account to verify, I've tried reinstalling both on both machines.
    Sometimes, it might finally resolve itself if I leave it overnight, like it's incredibly slow. I try manually syncing, letting it do it's own thing...
    I don't get what I am doing wrong.
    For reference, When I sign in to google chrome on both devices, it's instant, or damn near, and doesn't stop being that way from the first sync. Very solid in terms of syncing tabs and such.
    This FF sync deal I just can't get to work worth a crap and it's disappointing. I'd like to keep using FF as I love the bookmarking capabilities (something google refuse to address), but I do so much research for school and I have grown to rely on this feature a great deal.
    I hope someone can tell me what I am doing wrong!

    If it works when you leave it overnight, perhaps you need to reduce the intervals between the syncs?
    These might be the preferences you need to adjust: https://wiki.mozilla.org/QA/Sync/Client/Sync_Timers

  • I can no longer get video to work on FireFox and this happened just after my update to version 13. Is there a way to fix this?

    I went and downloaded FF13.0 and now I can no longer view video. At first I was able to view flash, mp4, etc video, then I went to see about updating Real Player and then every stopped working. I at first thought this was just a problem with FF13, but after trying also Internet Explorer I found the same problem. Is there any way pf fixing this problem?

    Recent crashes of certain multimedia contents (this includes Youtube videos, certain flash games and other applications) in conjunction with Firefox 13 are most probably caused by a recent Flash 11.3 update and/or a malfunctioning Real Player browser plugin.
    In order to remedy the problem, please perform the steps mentioned in these Knowledge Base articles:
    [[Flash Plugin - Keep it up to date and troubleshoot problems]]

  • Home sharing not working between mac and pc, but it is fine between mac and mac. Help!!!

    Good Evening Dear Gurus,
    Hi, I am writing this to ask for help regarding home sharing. Yes I do know they are several threads out there that already explains or rather given solution on how to tackle this problem. BUT the my problem is rather different. I am no computer expert myself, so here is the problem, apparently MY MAC can home share with another MAC, but both of this MAC cannot home share with the PC.
    Does anyone encounter this kind of problem before? Can anyone help a poor guy out? Thanks in advance. love to hear from the community soon!
    Thanks!

    Sharing Stopped working again over night.
    I went to Apple Support Artical TS2972
    As soon as I did this Home Sharing started working
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2972
    Firewall Section
    5. Check Firewall Settings
    If you have a firewall enabled in your router or computer, make sure that the firewall is not blocking communication between your computers. Home Sharing uses TCP port 3689 and UDP port 5353 to communicate with shared iTunes libraries.
    In addition, Apple TV and Mac computers will use port 123 to set the time automatically. Incorrect date and time on either the computer or Apple TV can cause errors for Home Sharing and connections in general.
    If you are unsure whether your router has a firewall or the required ports open, test additional devices or another network to help isolate the issue. If the devices tested work on another home network, it is your router or network configuration.
    For Mac OS X, you don't have to edit the port addresses, but make sure the firewall in Apple () menu > System Preferences > Security > Firewall are not set to:
    Block all incoming connections
    Allow only essential services
    If you use another security/firewall software on your computer or router, follow this article or contact the manufacturer or check the documentation on how to open TCP ports 123 and 3689 as well as UDP ports 123 and 5353.
    It made sense to me, but its still puzzling me after restarting a router would (in my first attempt) resolve the issue for a day.  This this time I applied the port forwarding TCP and UDP ports and saved the settings in the DLink DIR-655 and both my iPad2 and iPhone 3GS were now again finding the share. My ATV2 is also now accepting the Share.
    Tommorrow will be the true test.

  • Trying to get 3d to work with xbr70x850b and bdp-s7200

    have new xbr70x850b and new bdp-s7200.  Using Exodus to experiement.  BD says disk is 3d.  tv lets me into 3d menu so it seems to think the feed is 3d.  but none of the menu items (side by side, over/under) are present.  Glasses are registered and turned on.  BD connected directly into tv with new hdmi cable.  Have tried lots of setting changes on tv and bd, but can't get any of the 3d menu options to appear on tv.  3d works with streaming samples from youtube.  Just not with BD. Any hints?  very frustrating.
