AIM icon in dock pixelated when using iChat?

I use iChat instead of AIM for its ease of use and design. However, the little AIM icon "running guy" in my dock gets pixelated when I drag my mouse over it. I have my dock magnification on.
No other program does this except AIM. The iChat icon is fine and magnifies perfectly, it's just the little running guy. The image is of poor quality I guess but it's weird that it's only that icon.
Anyone who why other than it's a low quality image?
Macbook, iMac Mac OS X (10.4.7)

AIM (not iChatAV) hasn't been updated for quite awhile. I'm not sure if that is the issue, but may be related.
iChatAV is the preferred messagner application and the most recent updated.

Ichat, AIM, & Adium all frequently disconnect when using Air

Ichat, AIM, & Adium all frequently disconnect when using Airport. I use a Linksys Wireless Router with an Airport extreme card. When directly connected to the router, I have no problem. Using a PC with Windows XP, AIM operates fine. Safari and Firefox work fine, although sometimes I receive errors connecting to pages, when I try again no problem. Using any of the chat programs, I lose connection, but then can reconnect. After a few times, the AOL servers will prevent login.
I use COMCAST Cable internet service. My wireless router uses WEP encryption. I would switch to an AIrport Base station, but doubt it would correct the problem.
I have had this problem previously, but it corrected itself. now it is making chat programs unusable.
Any ideas?

Hi John,
By default Linksys units normally have the IP address of 192.168.1.1
Is this true for both your units or have you changed one of them ?
You may only find this out if you connect directly to the Modem one.
Also you have not said if only one of them is doing DHCP.
Example pic 3 on this page. This shows this device as getting it own contact IP address by DHCP (like from your ISP). Further down the page in the pic it shows the device is also acting as a DHCP server to the local net.
If your router is set up like this it could be getting an IP address usng DHCP like this device shows and that would tend to mean that the Modem is acting as a DHCP server as well.
If both devices still have the default IP addresses you will have conflicts, which probably explians the problems you have.

My brush tool erases pixels when used on layer mask

my brush tool erases pixels when used on layer mask instead of blocking out segments

Is the double frame around the Mask in the Layers panel?
Are you painting with black?
Is the Mode set to Normal in the Brush Options bar?
If your answer to these 3 questions is Yes, a logical next step would be to reset your Preferences.
To reset Preferences:
If Photoshop is already open on your screen, close it (Quit). Then hold down Shift+Ctrl+Alt (Win) / Shift+Command+Option (Mac) on your keyboard and start Photoshop.
A dialog box will pop up asking if you want to delete the existing Preferences file (the "Settings"). Click Yes in the dialog box. The existing Preferences file will be scrapped and a new one will be created.

AIM Application Icon does not appear when using Today Theme

When using the 'BB Dimension Today' theme that came with my Blackberry Curve, the AIM application icon does not appear. If I change back to any of the other themes, the icon reappears. Any ideas as to why this is the case, or how I can use both the 'Today' theme as well as AIM?
Thanks!

Welcome to the Frums
Are they hidden behind another icon ? or just hidden (click menu and show all). Sometimes that happens.

Error Message when using iChat w/ Video

I am receiving an error anytime that I use iChat video. It only occurs in certain circumstances though. They are anytime I have been in a video conference with someone for about 20/30 minutes, I am told that audio still comes through but the camera feed freezes. Then when that happens, I close down the video screen/window and attempt to re-connect. When attempting to reconnect, it tells me that it is asking for the other party to join in, tells me that it is connecting then I get an error message popping up.
I'm going to go ahead and throw this in here. I am using a 2Wire Router, my internet provider is ATT U-verse (I know feel for me).
Now, in order to get video to run again, both parties have to reboot their computers. Otherwise we will both continue to get an error. What in the bloody heck is going on? SOMEONE PLEASE HELP!!!!
Here is the particular error message.

Is System Preferences > Quicktime > Streaming set to 1.5Mbps ?
Restart iChat if you have to change (the Automatic setting can cap iChat in Tiger and to a lesser extent Leopard)
In iChat > Preferences > Video Section set the Bandwidth Drop down to 500kbps
I say this as the symptom you describe may be your ISP trying to control Peer-to-Peer File sharing and as iChat is Peer-to-Peer in Video and Audio Only chats it seems it is subject to those ISPs playing with Bandwidth to control this.
It may pay to have the Connection Doctor (In the iChat > Video Menu) open to monitor if your Connection speed or your Buddies is the one that is dropping off.
You can change the Bandwidth setting in iChat during a chat and it does not need a restart.
Which 2Wire device ?
What can you tell us about how it is set up for iChat ?
Does it have and is it using UPnP ?
Does it have DoS or SPI protection as this may also get in the way ?

Still Having Problem with Battery Overheating with Car Dock/Charger when using Maps/Navigation

I'm having a problem with the battery overheating when using Google Navigation in the OEM Samsung car dock and car charger. On a trip last weekend, I started off with a fully charged battery (because posts on other sites have complained that the Charge cannot keep up with the power draw of the Google nav app while using the car charger). About an hour into my trip, I got a message that the battery was overheating and to unplug the charger which I did. I then had to contend with the screen going out because it was running on the battery. I let the phone discharge to about 70% then tried the car charger again. Within a few minutes, I got the same overheating message. It was not an overly hot day and the car A/C was set at 68 degrees.
This morning (with the battery at about 85%) I tried to use the Navigation without the car dock while charging and got the same results...the phone battery overheated and I had to unplug the charger. The battery temperature reached 116 degrees. (also, the battery level was also dropping while using the Maps or Nav application even though it was hooked up to the car charger).
I'm very disappointed with this situation since I was hoping I could replace my old Garmin GPS with the Charge. But between the phone dimming the screen while running on battery, and having a depleted battery in the phone at the end of the trip, its just not a viable option. I really like this phone, but I'm running against the "return" clock.
Any ideas?
Could this be a software problem that will be corrected by an update in the future?
fyi: other Charge problems in the last 5 days:
- dropping audio on calls to other Verizon phones.
- use of camera flash causing the phone to reboot.
(I do have the 'class 4' 32gb card in my Charge)
Thanks in advance,
Rich

Jerry:
Yes, the phone is charging while in the car dock. I confirmed it both under the "about phone-status-battery status" menu and by my battery widget. By watching the battery widget, I also noticed that the voltage steadily increased over the ride home. It started at about 3.90 volts and ended at 4.02 volts. I don't know if that is significant. This time the battery did not overheat. The Max temp was 110 degrees, but no notice to disconnect came up. This might be because the sun was behind me on the drive home rather than beating down on the dash like it was this weeked.
I've ordered a cheap universal dock from Amazon for about $15.00 which clips onto the a/c vent. I want to see if this keeps the temperature down. If this works, I can still return the fancy-schmantzy Samsung OEM car dock. (The car-dock interface wasn't that impressive anyway).
Please let me know if the volt change means anything.
And thanks again for your help!
Rich

Endless beach ball in iPhoto when using iChat aswell

When I have iChat running and then open iPhoto, I can only use iPhoto as until I use iChat again. When I then go back to iPhoto, I get a never ending beach ball. Same things happen if i open iChat after having iPhoto open already.
Any ideas what's going on and how to solve it?

I just made this problem happen with the Console open. This is what it said when I launched iPhoto:
2005-09-16 20:27:06.642 iPhoto[829] * -[NSTextField setAllowsMultipleSelection:]: selector not recognized [self = 0x622c90]

Anyone had this happen when using iChat?

This happened a while back when I was using iChat with my girlfriend. We were just instant messaging but after I typed something she replied with a set of random characters. We were typing in Korean and the reply was gibberish (in English characters with some computer characters). Then, like a virus or something she continued typing gibberish. I had to force quit iChat and turn it back on. All seemed normal. I thought she was just bored or something but I found out later that she was not typing anything. After that, I did not have any problem like that with iChat. It was just that one time. Does anyone know why my iChat acted like that?

App icon in Dock dims when it has a hidden window

I have learned that when you open a photo in Preview, for example, then hide the open Preview window using Command+H, the Preview icon on the Dock will dim to indicate the app has a hidden window. Snow Leopard does not seem to do this for me, but it does work on a friend's Mac. Is this a bug or a setting somewhere to turn this icon dim feature on? Anyone?
Thanks.

Does Apple document anywhere on its web site or otherwise what an App's hidden's features are that would have to be turned on/off with Terminal? I would be nice to know what other features we can do on the Mac that just aren't available in menus, etc., except in Terminal.

Finder icon on dock pixelated following installation of Parallels Desktop 6x?

Shortly after installing Parallels Desktop 6x, I noticed the Finder icon (in the dock) was pixelated. I uninstalled Parallels Desktop but the appearance persists?

In coreservices you can click on the finder.app and then right click on it or hit command I.
You will then see the icon in the upper left hand corner. When you click on that icon it will turn blue meaning that it can be copied or you can paste a different icon in.
When finder.app is in coreservices you can not change the icon. The best is to make a copy of finder.app and put it on the desktop you should then be able to change it.
But it does not work for the finder icon it is locked by the os.
This is where the icon is located.
/System/Library/CoreServices/Dock.app/Contents/Resources/finder.png
Navigate to this location and then open up the icon is it pixilated?

Question about dock bar when using external screen

Hey.
For a while now, I have been using an external monitor with my 24" iMac. It has been running fine and the dock bar has been on the iMac's display along with the menu bar.
Today, I switched it around and when I plugged the screen back in, the dock bar moved over to the external screen, leaving the menu bar in the iMac's display :S
I have tried looking at the Screen settings, but so far it has not helped. I have tried unplugging the screen and putting it back in as well as trying to put the menu bar to the external display and back to the iMac's to see if the Dock bar followed. Alas, nothing happened
Anybody have any idea what I need to do? Kind of a drag to have my dock bar on my lousy 17" screen... Thank you
Best regards,
Jesper

Acrobat icon in dock bouncing when pdf file is minimized

Often when I have a pdf open, and minimize it so it goes in the dock, the Acrobat icon will start bouncing up and down for attention. Why does it do this annoying thing?

I have version 8.1.2 and I still get the bouncing dock icon when a pdf is minimized. Even if I haven't minimized it, and it is just not the currently active app, the dock icon still bounces. What's the deal?

Camera icon does not appear when use Google Image Search

Hello,
I am working on a much older macbook pro (2006) running OS 10.6.8 and Safari 5.1.10.
Just the other day I reinstalled Safari, as some things appeared to not be working properly. However, there was nothing wrong with Google. SInce then, when I try to search by Google Image, the camera icon does not appear in the search bar. I have tried reinstalling Safari twice, but nothing changes. I have checked in Firefox and it shows up as expected.
I have cleared the cache, deleted cookies, and cleared browser history. None of these steps have produced any changes.
Also, I seem to have reverted to some earlier version of Google, since the search tools now appear on the top left, as show below.
Can you please assist me in sorting this out so that Safari and Google perform as expected.
Thank you very much.
Val

I posted that work around on the google forums and it actually came from the Apple forums from users 'Society Girl' and refined by 'spiza' from this thread.
Google Reverted to Old Layout
I called a friend at a tech magazine and he *cough* unofficially* cough* said via contacts it was a very deliberate move by Google... nothing to do with their upgrades or a hack coincidentally not working as a by product with old browsers.
oh boy...
'Google flushes out users of old browsers by serving up CLUNKY, AGED version of search'
'Ad giant: Yeah, we did that deliberately'
In a separate thread, as spotted by a Reg reader who brought this sorry affair to our attention, user MadFranko008 was able to show that even modern browsers - including the current version of Chrome - were apparently spitting out glitches on Apple Mac computers.
Google then appeared to have resolved the search "bug" spotted in Chrome.
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2014/08/31/google_search_browser_support/
and on the BBC website...
Google 'discourages' users of old browsers
Google has started showing old versions of its search page to people using out-of-date versions of some web browsers.
The problem was most pronounced among those using variants of Safari 5.1 and Opera 12.
A Google message posted to the forum said the change was made to "encourage" people to upgrade their browser

Google and Apple are not the best of friends...
I expect this will run a little longer
