After Tiger install my G4 can't communicate with my G3

It was easy with Panther. I just clicked on 'GO' scrolled down to 'CONNECT TO SERVER' the network box would appear I would click the 'BROWSE' button and it would take me to the G3 server icon. I would simply click on the icon, log in and boom I was in.
Now with Tiger when I click on the 'BROWSE button I get this message "to see available shares for G3 click 'CONNECT' button. So. I do and then this message appears... "This file server uses an incompatible version of the AFP protocol. You cannot connect to it." What!??
How do I get the two macs to file share again?
Please Help.
G4 dual Mac OS X (10.2.x)

John,
Here is all you need to do:
On the Tiger Mac -
1) Enable Personal File Sharing (system prefs -> Sharing -> Services tab -> Personal File Sharing checkbox in the list)
2) Enable Appletalk (system prefs -> Network -> AppleTalk tab -> "Make AppleTalk Active" checkbox). Click "Apply now" button to activate the change.
On the OS 8.6 Mac-
1) Make sure File Sharing is turned on (File Sharing Control Panel)
2) Make sure Appletalk is active (Appletalk Control Panel)
3) If you had to change anything, wait until Sharing finishes starting up
This completes the configuration requirements. To connect & share files in the "one way" mode allowed, do the following:
1) On the 8.6 Mac, open the Chooser & select AppleShare in the left pane.
2) You should see the network name of the Tiger Mac in the right pane. Click it, then click "OK"
3) This should pop up the familiar OS 8 "Connect" dialog window. Enter the (long) user name & password of any account on the Tiger Mac & click "OK."
You should now be able to mount the Tiger home folders of all accounts on the 8.6 desktop. (You will have full access to the home folder of that account, only public folder access to other accounts.)
Please note: If you connected with an admin user name & password, you should also be able to mount the Tiger Mac's hard drive(s). You still won't have greater access to other accounts' home folders, but you will have access to the root level of the hard drive & a bunch of files that are hidden on the Tiger Mac's Finder. Be careful not to disturb these normally hidden items, since OS 8.6 isn't "smart" enough to prevent you from doing something that might damage the Tiger system.

Hi choon hun,
Thank you for using the Apple Support Communities; I'm sorry to hear you are still having print issues.

After I installed lion I can not slide my photo manually?

Thanks for sharing.
Before anyone can help, they need information to work with. Basic stuff: What version of iPhoto. What version of the Operating System. Details. What were you doing when the problem arose? Did it ever work properly? Step-by-step descriptions of how you got to this issue. If something doesn't work, are there error messages? What happens when you try to do this thing? And what steps have you tried already to solve the issue. With this kind of information somebody can develop a starting point for troubleshooting the issue.
Posts that consist of "iPhoto doesn't work. Help" or "iPhoto won't print" or "Suddenly I have no photos!!!!!!!!!!" mean that a helper is simply guessing. With information, s/he may be able to get your issue resolved sooner.

Computer Can't Communicate With Printer

Hi,
After installing Win 8.1 on two different computers, both have the same printing problem.
The first problem that appears is "Bidirectional Support" must be enabled... It was enabled in Win 8 prior to the upgrade...
It took awhile to figure out how to enable it, as after every attempt to check the box, the check would disappear after closing and reopening the window.
It turns out that this won't work with the printer connected. After disconnecting the printer the setting will stick, and when the printer is reconnected it stays that way...
Unfortunately this doesn't resolve the problem... Now I get the error that the computer "Can't Communicate With The Printer"
Attempts to reinstall the software\drivers have been for the most part useless... Even after removing the printer in Devices and Printers and uninstalling the software\drivers, the Driver installer insists that the drivers are still installed and will only
"Update" them, or "Install Another Copy"... neither of which resolves the problem...
On one occasion, I was able to get a complete install, but only after doing a search through the Registry and Deleting everything that came up concerning the printer... This still didn't resolve the problem.
On one machine, after doing this, the Print Spooler would hang and run the CPU at 50% indefinitely. After playing around awhile, I found that if I turned off the Print Spooler in "Services" while it was doing this, and then restart it, the file
would actually print properly...
I have checked the settings in Windows Firewall, and everything for the printer is "Allowed". I even turned the Firewall off to no effect...
This is a Lexmark X5340 USB inkjet printer that works perfectly on the same machines when running Win 7 or Win 8 with all the same connections, software, drivers, and etc....
Is there something different with Win 8.1 than Win 8 concerning printers?

Hi,
I wanted to let you know that I've stumbled upon a way to get the Lexmark software\drivers to reinstall on the Win 8 to 8.1 Upgrade...
It has to do with the Print Spooler interfering with the uninstall\reinstall process. I had read about a recommendation to turn off the Print Spooler before uninstalling the software quite some time ago, and I had tried that, but it didn't work. Here are
the tricks to get it to work if it isn't too late for you.
Note: Bidirectional Support is needed, and for some reason the upgrade process turns it off. This may also be related to the Print Spooler....
1) Turn on and hook up your printer... This needs to be done just this one time to get it to show up in Devices and Printers.... Otherwise, all I get with my machine is the Lexmark Fax, and as a result, you can't "Remove" the printer.
2) Once the printer is visible in Devices and Printers, unhook it..
3) "REMOVE" the Lexmark Printer and Lexmark Fax (if you have one) in Devices and Printers.
4) Stop the Print Spooler in "Services"
5) Uninstall the software\drivers... In the process of doing this, I got a popup Security message from Windows Firewall concerning "Allowing" Printer Communication... I selected "Allow".
6) At the prompt from the Lexmark uninstaller, Reboot.
7) After rebooting, stop the Print Spooler again.
8) Reinstall software\drivers... I used both XP SP3 and Vista Compatibility Mode on different attempts, and both worked... Hook the printer back up when prompted by the installer.
9) Unhook the printer again and reboot. Bidirectional Support must be Enabled, and the setting won't stick if the printer is hooked up.. You need to reboot to clear things up before the next step.
10) Enable Bidirectional Support and Reboot. To do this, go to Devices and Printers and select "Printer Properties" and then the "PORTS" tab... The check box is near the bottom.
11) Set any Printer Preferences you use, if any, and it's ready to go.
I just noticed that when I right click on the Lexmark Preferences, Properties, etc., it is showing two of them for some reason. I don't remember that happening the first time I tried this, but I might have missed it.
I'll need to investigate that a bit.
EDIT... It seems the second printer doesn't show up until after Enabling Bidirectional Support...
I guess that makes a little bit of sense... two printers for two directions.
Thanks for the info. I found it was necessary to change the print spooler. You will also need to set another service that is used during printing that provides screen interaction for the print spooler. Make both of them automatic.

Link 1.2.0 says "can't communicate with device"

Hi guys, my z10 running the official version of 10.2.1.537 can't connect to my blackberry link anymore. I update the link and since then, hasn't been working. I uninstalled it and re-installed but still nothing. I get the message on it saying "can't communicate with device" and that i should do a restore back to factory settings. Does anyone know what to do to solve this issue without having to restore?

There is not anything specific for Mac, did you at least try the below.
Launch BlackBerry Link.
Connect the BlackBerry 10 smartphone to the computer.
Note: The following messages should be displayed:BlackBerry Link cannot communicate with the connected device.
Power the BlackBerry 10 smartphone off and then on again.
When prompted again with the error (BlackBerry Link cannot communicate with the connected device.), ignore the warning message, however, do not dismiss or cancel it. Allow the smartphone to fully boot up to the home screen.
After 3-5 minutes the driver should install successfully and allow BlackBerry Link to continue the device setup.
The only other possible resolution is to remove the "BlackBerry Smartphone Drivers" reboot Mac and phone then reconnect phone to Mac.

Messages can't communicate with the account "AIM." Cannot log in to AIM. General error. Try again

Hi,
For the first time today, I've been having problems connecting to AIM using Messages. I get the "Messages can't communicate with the account "AIM." Cannot log in to AIM. General error. Try again." error. I looked at the forums here and I tried deleting my account, restarting my computer, reinstalling the account but to no avail. I've been using messages and mountain lion for a few weeks and never had a problem with connecting to AIM until now. Any help is greatly appreciated!

uncheck SSL in server settings....done deal. Funny part is I was having the same problem...went to genius bar...they couldnt figure it out...told me to call apple support. Did that...they told me to re install software after an hour of trying to figure it out...that didnt work either.
amazing the info you can get thru forums.!

Ichat can't communicate with google talk account

hey there, I keep getting the following error from my ichat; "Ichat can't communicate with google talk account Gmail." Not sure why I am getting this. My ichat has worked fine in the past. Anyone have any idea what's going on? I've already gone into settings and deleted the ichat account and re-installed it. that didn't work...
please and thank you!

HI,
Did you change the password at Google and forget to do it in iChat ?
Is Talk still Enabled at your Google Account Settings ?
In re-adding the account you ar using the "right" ending (@gmail.com or @googlemail.com) ?
Try deleting com.apple.ichat.Jabber.com
You will need to do this in the Finder
Use the Go Menu.
Hold th ALT key and select th Library
Open Preferences
Find the .plist and Drag to Trash
Restart iChat.

IChat can't communicate with my AIM account

Hi, every time i try go to to my ichat it automatically logs me out, and when i try to log back in, it says "iChat can't communicate with the AIM account 'aforever0203' and The AIM server has temporarily limited your account due to too much activity. Try again in a few minutes" This has been happening for days, please help!

HI,
Go here https://settings.aim.com/
Can you sign in there ?
This will not work for newer @me.com and @icloud.com IDs issued under iCloud ( I notice there are at least 2 Me Toos clicked)
With Apple IDs there have been issues over the last few months about accounts getting Suspended when people have travelled to foreign lands.
The "normal" fix with AIM names is to Change the Password but obviously changing the Apple Passwords cannot be seen by AIM.
In that case you need This link about Suspended accounts and you need to use the TOS General email address.
(You need to explain very carefully that you have an Apple ID and that AIM cannot see any Password Change and that they will have to reset the account manually - some support staff seem not to know that Apple have an agreement that Apple IDs are also AIM Valid Names)
If it is a plain AIM name a Password reset should correct the issue.

I'm getting an error message saying that "iChat can't communicate with the AIM account __" I don't know what to do because google.com isn't coming up either...Please help!

Hi,
For any AIM valid Name (AIM, @mac.com or MobileMe) go to the IChat Menu > Preferences > Accounts
Select the account in the list then in the Server Settings tab change the port from 5190 to 443
Also try it without the SSL option.
(Go to the Account info tab to select the Use this Account option to Log in).
Do you mean you have a GoogleTalk account of some kind ?
One based on Google Mail accounts (@gmail.com or @googlemail.com) should have talk.google.com listed as the server in iChat (Server Settings for your Google Account)
There are Other Google accounts (Non Email) that can have Talk Enabled and these do connect to a server called google.com
Both these forms login to the Jabber servers involved on port 5223 and use SSL
It is possible with Google though to also change this to port 443.
(Other Jabber servers will not allow it)

Outlook 2013 can't communicate with Exchange 2013

we're just finishing migration to Exchange 2013 and found some Outlook 2013 clients (migrated from Exchange 2010) can't communicate with Exchange 2013. even if i recreate the Outlook profile.
what worked is to reinstall Office 2013. just want to get ideas why a reinstall fixed the problem.
same outlook proxy is there in the account settings.

Hi,
What was the symptom that Outlook couldn't communicate with Exchange 2013? Could you please detail this a bit?
If the Account Settings are completely same before and after the reinstallation, we can say the cause is not on the Exchange side. While I can't guarantee the root cause based
on the provided information. A reinstallation fixes the corrupted or missing components/files in Office, but it's hard to say what has been fixed during the reinstallation.
If you still have some Office 2013 clients that have not been reinstalled, try to run Microsoft Office Configuration Analyzer Tool to quickly identify problematic configurations in Outlook:

IChat can't communicate with the AIM account error window! please help!

Hello, I have been trying to connect to my AIM account via iChat and for some reason it doesn't let me. A window saying the following appears:
"iChat can't communicate with the AIM account "name of account".
"An undefined AIM socket error has occurred."
Please help with this. What is going on?

Hi,
An @Mac.com name is a valid AOL/AIM Screen Name.
Any Issues and the AIM servers will say the AOL/AIM name or password is incorrect.
As I said earlier, there can be issues if when you create an @Mac.com or even a MobileMe account Apple lets you create passwords of up to 20 characters (I think).
The issues is the AIM Server can check the name with Apple but don't parse Passwords that have more then 16 characters (You have to change the Password to 16 characters or less).
There is also another issue.
Creating a Name at the @Mac.com page allows you to use spaces as valid characters (As In ralph [email protected]) but again the AIM servers cannot parse these names as Spaces are not Valid at AIM
Use iForgot to check the name. You can also change passwords via this.
Use the On Line option and answer the security questions.
That should confirm whether the account/Screen Name/Apple ID works.
Then go to this page https://settings.aim.com/
Use the Sign In option top right.
Enter your @mac.com name and password (It will read AOL at the next page to do that)
If it works properly then you should be returned to the page I linked you to but it will now have your Screen Name showing above the menu area.
This will confirm that the @Mac.com name is accepted as a AIM Screen Name.
If you are still having issues, go to the iChat Menu > Preferences > Accounts
In the Account Info tab make sure you are logged out (Deselect "Use this Account")
Go to the Server settings tab
Change the port from 5190 to 443 (it may also pay to deselect SSL)
Log back in again.
Deleting com.apple.ichat.AIM.plist may help.
If the issue is an incorrect password you may need to delete the entry from the KeyChain (Use KeyChain Access in the Applications/Utilities folder)
Hope this helps.

IChat can't communicate with the Aim account

Recently, my iChat AV stopped working, displaying a message iChat can't communicate with the Aim account "xxxxxxxxx". None Time
I have been able to successfully log on with other accounts using the application.
I have tried the 443 port switch and the firewall technique.
This problem may coincide with my use of an aim importer client on facebook
I have since severed all ties between the aim account and the facebook account
I have tried using Adium and aim express but to no avail.
Aim express consistently displays the message saying that I have attempted to log on too many times and to try again, even after I restart the computer and wait half an hour.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks

Hi,

IChat can't communicate with AIM account

iChat can't communicate with AIM account - I've looked at ALL threads and no success to troubleshooting
Looked into this: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3558055?tstart=0
I've tried changing my Port number - FAIL
I tried restarting and deleting account - FAIL
Tried creating a new account - FAIL, says there's an error
Tried going through Go > Finder > Library > Preferences to delete the com.apple.ichat.AIM.plist - FAIL, couldn't find in the folder either
Tried going through keychains and permissions - FAIL
I've had the same account for over 13 years (maybe that's why, ha!) and I did nothing to change any settings. Please help! Work depends on it!

Hi,
If it is an AIM name (i.e. Registered at AIM) then there seems to be a rush of Suspended Accounts recently.
Some have found that touring abroad seems to be the latest reason.
You then need to go to the Suspended Account Help Page and use the TOS General Email link.
If you have an @Mac.com name that is of course a Valid AIM Screen Name as well as an Apple ID means that the password has to be changed at Apple.
However the AIM server cannot tell that this has been done.
One person reported recently that the person they contacted via the TOSGeneral email link did not seem to know about the agreement with Apple that AIM has and that they had to change the "Flagging" on the account at their end.
Although a "Hacking" of an AIM account is not unheard of it is rare.
The TOS General link is still the best route I know of on that score.

IChat can't communicate with the Jabber account

Got the instructions for "Configuring iChat for Google Talk" from Google at:
http://www.google.com/support/talk/bin/answer.py?answer=24076
But after adding my Gmail info. I keep getting this error message:
iChat can't communicate with the Jabber account "[email protected]"
Anybody out there come across this and solved this sucker?
THANKS

Hi,
You have entered the account info as a Jabber Name and not chosen the Google option
With iChat Open go to the iChat Menu > Preferences > Accounts
Click on the Plus Button at the bottom of the List.
In the top item in the new pane Choose GoogleTalk.
Add your ID exactly as it appears when you Log in to the Web Mail page at Google (Mail seems to except either ending, @google.com or @gmail.com but the Google Talk server does not)
Enter in the password
Click the Done button
You should now have Buddy List that Logs On
In the Account list in iChat you will now have at least three Accounts Listed (the faulty one, the new one and Bonjour)
If you then check the Server Setting tab/button on both the "google" accounts you will find the new one says the server in talk.google.com
The other will use the last part of your ID (in your case you entered a name/ID ending @gmail.com).
The reason for your confusion is that those Google Instructions are for iChat 3
You have "Missed" the bit about changing the Server Name in the Server Setting tab to talk.google.com as in fact you can add it as a Jabber account and then change the server name the same way.
You could change the server info in the "old" account or you can highlight it the list then press the minus button to Delete it.
One other thing.
It is important that Talk is Enabled in your everyday Google Account Setting (Not the mail ones).
This does add the Chat option to the Mail Web page and of course allows iChat to use the GoogleTalk servers.
I have several Jabber Accounts including Google as well as several AIM valid Logins.
I don't find the Google servers go Off line or drop connections any more (Nowadays) than the AIM ones or other Jabber servers.

Ichat can't communicate with my jabber account?

For the past week, I have gotten the same error message when trying to logon to my ichat account:
ichat can't communicate with the jabber account... could not connect to host.
I went into the preferences and tried a few different things but nothing worked. I returned everything to the original settings and hoped the problem would solve itself. It did not. I deleted the account and recreated it...still no help.
What should I do??

Hi,
In the iChat Menu, then Preferences chose the Accounts Pane
Then chose the Server Settings tab
Example
On this pic I have edited out the real Server name.
At the second red Arrow this account is using port 5222 and no SSL to login and Text chat.
If I was logged out of this account then that Text and Port would be Dark (Black) text and would be editable.
Some Jabber Accounts use SSL and iChat will automatically change the Jabber Port listing to 5223
Googletalk is one of these.
If the Mac Firewall is ON (System Preferences > Security > Firewall tab) and in the Advanced Button "Allow Signed Apps" is enables and iChat is in the list then the Firewall will allow iChat to receive incoming data.
Form there your computer is connected to the Internet.
This will involve a Modem.
If the Modem is a DSL model then it is likely to Route which is turn means you may have to set up the ports iChat needs there. (Meaning it is a router/Modem combined)
A cable modem generally does not route and those functions are taken up by a router if you use one.
A Router whether combined or standalone is generally set up using a web browser to access the Interface web pages.
One of the Methods of opening the ports needed is called Port Forwarding (although some devices do list other phrases such as Services)
Once these are entered they form part of a table.
Generally they list a IP address that those ports will work for.
That IP should be the IP of the computer
Example of a Linksys page.
Sorry it is blurry but you can make out each port is pointing to IP 192.168.1.100 (although only the top two are Enabled). The set of iChat ports listed are for iChat 2 and 3. (they will cover those used by iChat 4 and higher)
This listing of an IP restricts the use of those ports listed to that IP (Computer).
IF the router is doing DHCP to Issue IP addresses to the computers the IP that the computer has may change now and then - this will mean the ports listed will not be pointing to the Computer as it now has a different IP
Another method for opening ports is called UPnP (Universal Plug and Play)
This is simple Enable/Disable setting that allows the apps to tell the router to allow the ports it needs.
This also allows multiple computers to use the same ports.
It is fair to say that some brands of router (or Combined device) have UPnP enabled by default so you may never have had to make the settings.
Do you know if this has been done ?
