10.4.9 and iChat AV

Anyone try the 10.4.9 update yet? Does it resolve the iChat AV problems that may have experienced?

Sorry, my mistake. I misread the following news release:
"Apple Computer released Security Update 2006-007 for Mac OS X 10.3.9 and higher on Tuesday evening. The update improves security for wireless network connections, protects against maliciously crafted FTP commands, fixes vulnerabilities in OpenSSL, perl and PHP, corrects several local user security issues relating to Apple Type Services and the Finder, and more.
The security update is free and available through Software Update. Additional information about Security Update 2006-007 is available at the Apple Web site."
Anyone know if this security update fixes the iChat AV problems that many are experiencing?

    Howdo I deactivate Imessage and Ichat on a dead 4s?  Recently waithced to Samsing and not getting messages from iphone contacts

    Hi,
    In theory an iPhone that appears to the Server as Off Line will be "de-registered" from the server.
    Twice at various iOS Upgrades I have had the iPhone Number become greyed out leaving only the Apple ID is use (Despite the fact th item is greyed out and unchangeable by the user.
    This should mean that the iPhone should present as not in service and the sender should "Switch" to sending SMS.
    However as the Mac version may still have the iPhone number in it's Send and Receive lists then the iPhone may appear to be still logged in.
    You can "disable" the iPhone number in the iMessages account (Messages > Preferences > Accounts).
    Unticking the Receive At will also  remove it form the Start Conversation From drop down.
    It can be removed by deleting the com.apple.ids.service.com.apple.madrid.plist in Mavericks and above as this holds the current Apple ID and any "Aliases" in use.  You will need to re-enter your Apple ID in Messages on the Mac if you do this.
    Ultimately contacting Apple Support is the simplest and best way although some of the above may be needed to "tidy up" afterwards.

  • Mail, iCal Server and iChat server will not work over VPN

    I have an Airport Extreme Base Station at the office running the network. Behind it sits a Mac Mini Snow Leopard server running 10.6.3. The ports necessary for Mail, iCal Server and iChat work fine through that external connection. I can also connect with VPN from my 10.6.3 clients.
    HOWEVER, when I connect with the VPN clients, I am suddenly unable to access the Mail, iCal Server, Wiki server and iChat server. All connections time out. I can ping the server and I can do other things that do NOT work on the public Airport like ssh or VNC. ssh and VNC are closed at the airport extreme.
    So it's pretty odd. When I'm connected via the VPN, all ports that are forwarded to the Snow Leopard server time out over the VPN.
    I've tried various and sundry configurations with the VPN client. This includes trying to send all traffic over the VPN, moving it up in the service order, etc. etc. Nothing fixes it. DNS resolution is working fine, however when I do a wireshark capture of ppp0 traffic, I notice that SSL and TLSv1 handshakes appear to occur on the public IP address instead of the private network IP address... and they're all resets.
    Has anyone gotten this to work successfully? Like I said, all ports that are NOT forwarded through the Airport work fine over the VPN, but will not work when connected to the VPN. It's really bizarre.

    New data: any ports that are normally forwarded on the Airport Extreme to the Mac Mini server will not work when connected to the VPN.
    For instance, if I have imaps/993 forwarded from the Airport Extreme to the Mac Mini, it works fine over the Internet. If I connect to the VPN, I can connect to all OTHER services on the Mac Mini, but Mail, for instance, will not work.

  • AIM and ichat, video not working

    I have 2 aol email accounts and aim with those. I am a little confused on some things. First I have the free aol email and instant messenger. Nothing is downloaded onto my computer, I just signed up for an email account and set it up in mail and ichat. I keep seeing things about versions of aol, well I don't have a version downloaded.
    Can this be the reason that I can not hear people when they conference to me? They hear and see me, and I see them, just no sound from them.
    A friend of mine has same computer I have, bought his 2 days before I bought mine and he said he's had no problem using his ichat. then last night he started having problems and he said the only thing he did was run permssions repair. Which I had also done. So either the permission repair caused something to change that we can no longer use it or there is something else going on.
    I have a linksys router, I have plug and play enabled, I have also tried enabling ports, there is no firewall. The friend has same setup and he NEVER went in and changed settings on his router, it just instantly worked. We also have the same ISP. No ports are being blocked by them. I have also enabled all ports to see if that would help.
    the other person I can not connect to is another story. I need to get mine up and running before I work on hers. She has a wireless pc, and dsl..I am going to check her setting, aol version, and such once mine is proven to work with someone.
    I also can not use big board games...I get a message that says I am behind a firewall (which I am not), I had also tried same thing with the ports, or it says that I have a translated network address. I am guessing that these problems are linked.
    Another person that is a pc tech suggested I setup static ip for my computer and all that mess, and we tried it and still no fix.
    Someone here suggested changing a setting in quicktime for streamline to be less than 1.5 it was set to 384 (or something) so I left it there.
    Yes, all microphones where turned on..it is built in isight.

    Well, this problem is solved, it took several different posts to get answers that worked.
    But here is what got me up and running.
    First, reason I can not connect to pc friend is because she is using the newest version on aim and she needs to be using 5.9 (tried finding who here told me that to give credit, but I can't find the info)
    I don't know why I can't connect to my mac friend. I may be able to now that I fixed somethings, but he's not been online for me to test it out. However, he was able to chat with other people and then he changed some things and now he's not. So, when he is online again I will go over his setup as well.
    Ichat would have worked with no special configurations for me, right out of the box. However, big bang board games will not let me get online and trying to get that online is where I changed things that prevented ichat from ever working.
    If you are having this problem with linksys or netgear router..just turn on plugnplay in router configurations. It is usually on be default. No need to have ports enabled.
    For you mac firewall, just have it turned on, no special ports being opened.
    I do have bonjour chat checked in settings, but I am told that this does not need to be checked. Do not have apple remote sharing checked.
    I do have 10.4.8 installed, so I did not need to go back to an older version.
    This just boiled down to I turned my firewall off and never thought that would cause me not to be able to chat.

  • Weird Line Spacing Issue in Mail App and iChat

    All of the sudden, all of the lines of text in my mail app and ichat are all bunched up. It's impossible to read the content. Maybe my baby son pressed something but the font is tiny and illegible. Does this sound familiar to anyone?
    Thanks

    Hello Darryn,
    I'm sorry to hear you are having this issue with your Mac. If you are seeing an unusual bunching or overlapping of text in multiple applications, it can often be due to a font issue. You may find the information and troubleshooting steps outlined in the following articles helpful, including one possible specific instance which may result in similar issues:
    Helvetica Fractions font may cause text to display improperly in Address Book, iChat, Safari, Mail

  • Sound alerts not working in Mail and Ichat apps since upgrade to 10.4.9

    I just noticed my Sound alets not working in Mail and Ichat apps since upgrade to 10.4.9.
    I'm using soundsticks which is playing sounds thru quicktime, itunes, etc but my alert sounds for getting new emails and IM messages is not working. I get the quick "white flash" on the screen instead. I checked the prefs on both apps and it is set to give me the alert sound, I can even test it in the ichat pref when I change the new message alert sound it will play it thru my speakers but when I get a new message in either app it just gives me the white flash.
    I'm read that it can be an issue of not having the balance in the system sound pref set the middle, so I checked that, restarted, all that but still no luck.
    I really like the sound alert features because I can be in another part of my house, turn the sound way up and I'll know when one of my clients is trying to reach me but now I can't do that.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks in advance!

  • Use Camcorder for iMovie and iChat?

    Hi,
    I want to find a way to be able to plug a video camera into my iBook to use with iMovie and iChat.
    I'm having a difficult finding a definitive solution in finding a webcam to use with my iBook.
    Does anyone know if a firewire camcorder will work with iMovie and iChat? (iBook, 500mhz, 384mb RAM, running Panther.
    Thanks very much,
    Ted

    Hi Ted,
    In addition to Tom's good comments, here are a couple of other things that may be of interest.
    I would suggest you select a Mini-DV camcorder that claims Mac compatibility with Panther (OS X 10.3.9). Some other camcorders may not work easily with at least one of the two apps you specify. For instance, if you decide to get a Canon Mini-DV, see this Apple article concerning a possible FireWire Issue With Some Canon Mini-DV Cameras.
    If your 500mhz iBook has a G3 processor, its processor power falls below Apple's minimum iChat AV: System requirements (for iChat 2.1 video). (Mac OS X 10.4: iChat AV system 3.x requirements are different.)
    iChatUSBCam can allow slower G3s to work with iChat AV, although you may experience less than smooth video performance. iChatUSBCam is try-before-you-buy software, so you can determine whether it meets your needs before you pay for it. See the web site for FAQs, an explanation of all of iChatUSBCam's features, and camera compatibility if you need iChatUSBCam.

  • AOL and iChat work sometimes

    I am trying to figure out why AOL and iChat work sometimes and other times it doesn't. I am trying to video chat with a family member and some of the time I can make a connection just fine and other times we get error code 8. If it was a firewall issue wouldn't it never work?

    For the last several days, I haven't been able to log onto my screen name. I have a mac book pro and have kept my aim screen name and used it for my ichat as well. I have done this successfully for the last few months.
    But now every time I attempt to log on to my ichat or aim I receive the same error message. "You have attempted to log in too often in a short period of time. Wait a few minutes before trying to login again." I waited about 10 minutes before attempting to log into ichat again and the same error message came up. I waited an hour and then attempted to log onto aim and the same error message appeared. I then decided to wait a day and try on a different computer and the same error message appeared when I attempted to log into my aim screen name on the mac and the dell computers.
    However, I am able to log onto both ichat and aim using my friend's screen name. Therefore, it appears as though the problem is with my screen name and not with the computers connection or with aim as a whole. I really need to use the screen name as I have had it for over ten years and don't want to change it at this stage. Please help me fix this problem as I seem to have attempted everything.

  • Logitech Webcam and Ichat

  • Two questions:  how do Skype and iChat compare for group video?  quality, reliability, cost, etc are important.  2) Is my MobileMe ID what I need to use in the window in making an iChat buddy?  It only says AIM above the window, online tutorial differs.

    Two questions:  1) How do Skype and iChat compare for group video?  Quality, reliability, cost, etc are important.  2) Is my MobileMe ID what I need to input in the window in making an iChat buddy?  It only says AIM above the window, online tutorial differs, saying MobileMe, AIM, GoogleTalk (Jabber) all work. Thnx

    Hi,
    IChat uses better Video Compression than Skype does.
    On a top flight Mac you can send a 640 X 480 pixel frame up to 30 frames a sec.
    Skype can't match this.
    iChat in Video is Peer to Peer. (you can actually Log out of the Buddy list)
    Skype seems to borrow something from everyone's bandwidth to make connections.
    What do you mean by Business account Tracking ?
    iChat Adds (or can add) the First Name, Last Name of your Buddies and create an Address Book Entry
    Whether you mark those cards connected with a  company is up to you.
    (I have heard of issues with earlier version of iChat and the Address Book that "saw" the Company Name as the part of the Name and linking several Screen Names to the one name
    Audio on a Mac using Skype tend to be the same as the streaming needs are less.
    However you have to rely on any PCs audio abilities from PCs which may not be to the same standard.
    Mac to PCs in iChat and AIM can be difficult though.  (It should work but it rarely as simple as Plug and go)
    Skype may suit your needs better on ocassions.

  • Safari and iChat won't work after lion upgrade

    I just completed an upgrade to lion on my 2010 Mac mini and after reboot, safari won't open a web page..it just gets stuck with the blue loading bar about 1 inch from the left and iChat won't connect either.  I've repaired permissions and rebooted several times, checked for 3rd party add-ons and still they won't work.  Help! I need Internet again.  I'm posting this on my iPad 2 because I can't get safari to load a page or download another browser like chrome or firefox:(

    OK... i had a quick look around and it seems many peoples various issues were solved by just restarting their macs a few times... i downloaded the java update from the apple support site and then restarted twice and everything now working perfectly.

  • ISight crashes both Photo booth and iChat

    Hello,
    My iSight camera seems to be causing issues with Photo Booth and iChat. Both these problems emerged at the same time, so I believe that they're related.
    iChat will login properly, but when I try to initiate video chat, the green iSight camera turns on... but promptly crashes iChat.
    Photo booth ostensibly works fine in terms of taking regular photos and video recording, but none of the effects work; they appear as black screens. When you try and click on the effects, Photo booth crashes.
    My computer otherwise recognizes the camera in System Profiler. I can also use the camera in GChat, via Gmail.
    Any ideas on what's wrong?

    Welcome to Discussions, bigtsez
    The PMU reset suggested in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2090 usually helps such problems for MacBooks.
    If not, repair permissions and apply the 10.5.7 COMBO update:
      http://support.apple.com/downloads/MacOS_X_10_5_7_ComboUpdate
    Repair permissions IMMEDIATELY again after the restart that finishes the installation.
    Then test iSight again. Repeat the Troubleshooting suggestions if necessary.

  • Messenger and ichat on the iphone. It is happening right now!!!!

    I was very impressed by the fact that I can use my hotmail messenger and ichat on my iphone and chat away with my friends. It is completely perfect and I really think it was what was missing on the iphone.
    For anyone who do not think is true go to:
    http://www.meebo.com on the iphone and go to MSN for messenger or AIM for ichat.
    You will love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Yes meebi works for a web based chat type service. It's still not true native iChat support on the iPhone. Which means the user has to go to Safari first rather than opening iChat right on the home screen. It's a nice "workaround" again for the iPhone.

  • Safari, mail, and ichat disappeared

    Hi all,
    I quit safari recently (just command Q) then shut the screen. After returning to it hours later, I only get a '?' over the icon. I've tried to search for it in finder (spotlight) but can't find anything. It seems like Safari, Mail, and iChat have all disappeared?
    Has anyone experienced this or know a solution?

    Hi,
    Use your installation disk to reinstall them as described in this article:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1442?viewlocale=en_US
    and then re-download the 10.5.6 combo updater for your system to update everything to the correct version.
    The likeliest cause is that someone had access to your machine and deleted them for whatever reason.

  • My Isight is not working on skype and yahoo messenger but works on photobooth and ichat

    My Isight is not working on skype and yahoo messenger but works on photobooth and ichat.
    Ive reset my SMC and PMU but it still does not work. Only black screen appears on skype with a loading sign that takes so long. The light signal on the cam doesnt turn on as well which indicates that it is really not working.

    Regarding Skype, post in the Mac Skype forums on Skype's website.  It's where all the Mac Skype users hang out.
    Regarding Yahoo, contact its customer tech support department.

  • Safari and iChat features missing?

    I am wondering if in Tiger Safari and iChat had the following features removed?
    Safari, version 2.0.2: When I type an address I need to include the .com whereas I used to be able to type something like google and the browser would add the .com. Now, before I get the lecture about cache etc. I know all about caches. This is not about that. You used to be able to just type the name of the site and it would pull up—if it were a dot com. I have checked this on another machine running Panther and it still works there.
    iChat, version 3.1: There is no login sound unless the application is open. In other words, I have the icon in the menu so I can be available, or not, easily. Previously, I would log in (from the menu) and get two sounds letting me know it was active. One for Bonjour and one for the Buddy List. Now, only if I have the application open (iChat not just being available in the menu) will I get the sounds thus defeating the purpose of the sounds the way I have it set up—I can see that it is active and do not need to hear it. I have tried trashing the iChat preferences and that did not help.
    Edit: Matter of fact I do not think I get the sounds for people becoming active or not now that I think of it.
    I have run diagnostics, Disk Utility, cron maintenance, cleared caches, erased History. Additional ideas are appreciated.

    "...Safari, version 2.0.2: When I type an address I need to include the .com whereas I used to be able to type something like google and the browser would add the .com.

    Still works. You don't need to type ".com"
