Video ichat no longer working with a new ISP

Hiya, I have read pages and pages of these posts and I am still none the wiser. I used to be able to video ichat with my old ISP but I can't with my new one. Audio and text work fine.
I have changed my quicktime streaming settings
I have disabled my firewall
I have gone to portforwarding.com and done the port forwarding thing (I think, I am not that technical)
I am using a fixed IP - my airport is using 192.168.7.3, my DSL router 192.168.7.1
I can ichat video fine from work (as long as it's not to my wife when she is at home)
I have tried to ichat to other people who have ichated succesfully to their friends
I have called my ISP and they assure me that no ports are being blocked
I am using the latest version of Tiger and ichat on a brand new MacBook Pro (wow this thing is fast), but my older Powerbook laptop can't connect either.
Can anyone help?
MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.6) ichat 3.1.4

Hi Russell,
Most of the devices listed here can be made to work with iChat
http://portforward.com/routers.htm
However I would tend to stick to the bigger names.
AT this stage MIMO and Pre-N devices (the ones with the extra antennas and the ones trying to predict the 802.11N wireless protocol) as iChat seems to have soem problems with them.
Things like the Linksys WRT54G has routing and UPnP capabilities. The Netgear DG834G and it's variants are also popular. (D-Links seem to be a bit odd as set ups vary and they do not always have UPnP)
Thomson/Alcatel Speedtouch devices need to be on Version 4 firmware (No higher than 4.2.9) and not Version 5 or 6 (or the 4.3.x version that is really version 5 re-written for earlier devices). These Alcatels need the SIP Unbound from port 5060 that I was talking about.
See Mine in the white box just out of site http://www.ralphjohnsuk.dsl.pipex.com/page4.html#_text
What you have to look in to at this stage is whether the ISP is blocking port 5060 for it's own VoIP service. It it is it will not matter what modem you get.
As I said before in some cases it may be the device itself and we may be able to do soemthing about that.
http://www.ralphjohnsuk.dsl.pipex.com/page4.html#_text Scroll down to the White box with text in it.
Apple have this list http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93333
These are supposed to work Out of the Box which is not the same as Can Work with iChat.

My iMessage no longer works with the new is07 update how do I fix this

My iMessage and some of my applications no longer work with the new software update. How do I fix this?

I called Apple Support after trying many fixes suggested online. They directed me to the procedure on the following page:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4268?viewlocale=en_US
I did the erase and restore option they suggested since I had tried a pile of ther things suggested on posts and blogs and they did not work. I even waited the obligatory 24 hours, thus the restore from backup option was what they suggested. I have a 64gig iPhone 4S and it took about 1.5 hours to complete the entire operation seeing that I am using about 54 gigs of that capacity.
Warning: I lost all of my emails and all of the data files from one of my map programs so be sure you have everything that you really need from your phone store elsewhere before wiping your phone. I thought that the backup on my computer would restore everything but obviously NOT.
Hope this helps.

Function keys no longer working with a new keyboard...

I got a new keyboard and my function keys no longer work with it. I am used to have them used in the standard format, i.e. F10-F12 control the voume, etc. I have the "Use all f1,f2, etc." button clicked. I have also tried restarting my computer. Any thoughts?

Try doing a SMC reset and PRAM reset.
SMC RESET
Shut down the computer.
Unplug the computer's power cord and all peripherals.
Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.
Release the power button.
Attach the computers power cable.
Press the power button to turn on the computer.
PRAM RESET
Shut down the computer.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.

Video capture no longer working with Lion

Does anyone know why USB video capture (XLR8 USB 2.0) would no longer capture audio with Lion. It worked great at importing old VHS home movies to my Mac before the upgrade to Lion and now, while I can still see the video, I no longer hear audio. Anyone have any ideas?

Well, heck.
I am so sorry you guys couldn't get through to me. you can email, [email protected] anytime for full support.
On the issue of Lion, and the XLR8 devices?
Apple did change a number of items, that limited the XtraView's ability (this is the one, with the built-in audio on the older 2820 chipset). Audio, just won't work in 64-bit mode.
The easy workarounds are to boot into 32-bit mode (hit 3 and 2) on boot.
To check if you are in 64 bit mode, go to the System Profiler (Apple Menu > More Info > Software (left pane) and see if the 64 bit is loaded.
If in 32-bit mode you are still having an issue, please check that you are running XLR8 version 1.4.6. You can download new versions at http://XLR8.com.
You can email XLR8 for a free audio cable (Mac sound jack to RCA audio), or for $25, XLR8 can upgrade you to the new 2860 device that works in 64-bit mode.
Now, that hopefully, we have you working again... about Daystar. Actually XLR8 has always developed, built and shipped the devices. Daystar just had a bigger name and was an Apple Authorized Reseller. But, the Apple relationship ended, and Daystar closed.
XLR8, LLC will continue to support the devices and we will continue to provide great products and good support (sorry, we are a small company, and due to limited time... I can only provide "good" support. Maybe one day, it will be great.)
We are expanding the website at XLR8.com. You are always welcome to provide feedback and suggestions.
Oh, and lastly, thanks to Thiago, for sending me an email, and alerting me to the thread...
Gary,
XLR8

DVD Studio Pro no longer works with the new iMac. Solutions?

Disc installations in general don't exist anymore and DVD Studio Pro is no longer supported in the new iMac that we have at our office. I used to have Roxio's Toast Titanium as a backup burner, but even that is not supported past mac OS 10.7. Final Cut X has the option to export straight to DVD but the menu options it gives you is so basic it doesn't even look professional. I was just wondering if anyone else has had this problem and what they are using now to burn a professional looking DVD. Many thanks

mlaughbaum,
It seems as though you and I are on the same page struggling. Were you able to find any alternatives to DVDSP or any way to continue using it?
On-Site Video
I'm considering myself lucky... Though I was unable to install either DVDSP and FCP v.6 on my new iMac, they are both still working on my older iMac even though it too is running ML. I believe this is because I upgraded to ML from Leopard with both already installed.
My only suggestion would be to install Leopard (or the OS on which they were working for you), install FCP, DVDSP and compressor, and then upgrade to ML. Seems like a silly solution but I have a feeling it would work. I'm not doing it because it's working on the iMac that's closest to my DVD duplicator. That said, if I had to, I believe that's what I'd try.
Really infuriates me. My business depends on DVD sales and there really isn't another cost effective DVD authoring solution for the mac out there.
I do wish you the best of luck and would love to hear if you come up with a better solution.

IChat No Longer Works With Expired MobileMe Trial Accounts?

In the past, you could use an expired .Mac (now MobileMe) trial account's username, to log into and use iChat. But I believe now that this no longer works. Apple must've changed the rules. Can anyone else confirm this? I haven't been able to use iChat for about a month now, logging in with an expired .Mac trial account username.

Have not heard of a expired .me not working.
Try logging on to AIM on port 443 rather than port 5190.
Go to IChat in the menu bar > Preferences > Accounts.
Log out of AIM and then use the Server Settings tab
Set the port to 443.
Log back in again.
might be worth a try .
"change your user login setting to AIM, do not use .MAC setting
in user name field, type your full user name. example : [email protected]
it will not appear the password incorrect error."

Why is my IBM Scroll button no longer working with the new Firefox?

I just downloaded the new Firefox onto my IBM ThinkPad. This laptop has a center button for the mouse that I have been able to use to scroll down webpages on the previous version of Firefox installed on my computer. However, with the new version it no longer works. Is it because there is a setting that was automatically programed and is something I can change or is the permanent feature of the new Firefox. If it is the latter, then I am disappointed and would rather use the older Firefox version.

Re-installing Pages through Appstore has fixed the problem.
Thank you

Ichat no longer works with snow leopard

i recently installed Snow Leopard on my macbook pro and ever since, when I try to open iChat, a window opens and says "You can't use this version of the application iChat with this version of Mac OS X. You have iChat 4.0.8. I thought that the new version would have installed with Snow Leopard. What do I need to do?

Hi,
Go to the Applications folder.
Do you have two versions of iChat in there ?
If so, Click on to Highlight it.
Use the Apple Key (CMD) and I key together (Get Info)
In the panel that pops up what version number is it ?
What is the version number of the other one ?
If one is iChat 5 and one is iChat 4, drag the current iCon for iChat Off the DOCK and let go. (Puff of Smoke animation)
Drag the iChat 5 icon to the DOCK (It does not move the App just links to it.)
If you only have iChat 4 then post back and let us know as there will be more steps.
Please note the time of my post as I may not reply for some time.

The scrolling function on my Toshiba laptop no longer works with the new version of Firefox.

The scrolling function on the touchpad of my laptop hasn't lost functionality in any other program save for Firefox. Is there a setting or tool that I am not using correctly?

I apologize, I wasnt quite clear enough. I meant the center button on my touchpad like the center scroll button on a mouse, not the up down left right arrows on the keyboard. Sorry for the confusion.

Delete the pairing and then re-pair the devices.
There are no supported methods to downgrade the iOS.

The "new" hotmail no longer works with safari, but works with firefox. Hmm.

The "new" hotmail no longer works with safari, but works with firefox. Hmm. i find this very convenient being a microsoft product. anybody else wonder why this new version happens to not be safari compatible? does anybody know if it works on the PC version of safari? if not, i find this to be a blatant move on microsofts part to bias the safari browser (especially since its basicly new on the window platform). forcing safari/hotmail users to "have" to use another browser to access their hotmail accounts.

I have been successfully using Hotmail and Gmail with Safari for a long time. For roughly the past month, that relationship is rocky at best. At times, one of the following actions suddenly opens Hotmail, but it is a short-lived solution:
(a) Hotmail directly
(b) Hotmail Home>Hotmail
(c) Sign up to Windows Hotmail
(d) Deletion of prescribed cookies, resetting, etc. - made no difference
Both Firefox and Opera work fine with Hotmail - especially Opera is very fast.
In addition, Safari and Gmail does not work with Attachments, but otherwise Gmail is OK.
I suspect I have to wait for a Safari fix because in my case I do not wish to abandon Hotmail, and Safari is a given. I would think that Safari would want to stay competitive with the two biggies, Hotmail and Gmail, which must have large numbers of users.
I certainly would appreciate any other suggested fixes.
