All sound effects for AIM in iChat do not work

I tried to see if anything was muted in System Prefrences, and everything seemed OK. When I test the sounds in iChat preferences, they seem to work fine, but when I am instant messaging they do not work. Any assistance would be appreciated.
iMac g5   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

Hi Parker244,
Welcome to the Apple Discussions
Do you have Developer Tools installed ?
This would let you look at the .plists with Property List Editor and you could see if the sounds were set in com.apple.ichat.plist
If not delete it anyway and restart iChat.
It is in Users/(Your Mac account)/Library/preferences

  • 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.

  • Sound alerts for received and sent mail not working

    How can this be fixed? Using yahoo email. Did work before upgrading to os4.3

    Do you have system sounds off?  Go into settings and see if you have selected Mute System Sounds or Lock Screen Orientation for the button on the right hand side of your iPad, just above the volume control.  If you have Mute System Sounds checked, simply move the button in the opposite direction.  If you have Lock Screen Orientation checked for that button, click your home button once to go to your home screen.  Then double click your home button twice and your most recently used Apps will appear on the bottom row.  On that row, with your finger, swipe those Apps to the right all the way and an icon will appear on the very left side.  It should be a mute button and by touching it, you will turn system sounds back on.  Let me know if this solves your problem. 
    If neither option works, reboot your iPad.  Press and hold BOTH the power and home buttons at the SAME time for at least 10 seconds (ignore red slider) until the Apple Logo appears, then let go of both buttons and your iPad will restart.  You will not lose any data or settings.

  • I can't find a appropriate sound Effect for motion template.

    Hi,
    Like my title say I can't find a appropriate sound Effect for motion template. I am using the template that goes by SATIN and There I choose SATIN BLUE-MENU.
    In that Template we can see a blue Sheet flying by. BUt I am totally lost to get a nice sound for that. So far I could not find any sound for that. I never Worked with sound Effect. I appreciate any tip.
    What is better only sound or a music playing with it? What kind sound goes with it?
    Hope to hear from you all.
    Thanks

    I think you need to give us a little more information. Which program are you currently using? Soundtrack Pro, Motion, what? What does the Satin template do?
    It sounds like what you're looking for is a "whoosh" effect -- like maybe a gust of wind or something like that. In finder search for the word "whoosh" and then select whichever drive has your Apple loops. You'll find a plethora of whooshes.
    Of course that may not be what you're looking for. You'll have be be a little more specific with what the picture is that you're trying to add sounds to, and even then, it's still your artistic choice.

  • IChat Video Not Working since PSP3 bought!!

    Hi guys,
    ichat video not working since I bought and installed a new Playstation 3. I have a BT HUB that connects wirelessly with the imac. I have BT Vision running from the HUB too via ethernet wall boost adapters. I had this problem with video when i installed the BT Vision. And turned out to be something to do with Application Sharing settings on the HUB. I resolved it by correctly sharing AIM TALK with my wireless imac. Now the same problem has arisen since the psp3 was put on. But even with all the things I've tried I am stuck as how to get the video up and running as before. The devices running off the hub include:
    1. imac (wireless via Airport Extreme)
    2. BT Vision via ethernet and wall adaptors
    3. iPod touch via wireless
    4. PSP3 via wireless plug and play
    I have checked all the ip address for these devices and have enabled app sharing for the imac wireless to AIM TALK in BT HUB manager. I have also opened my firewalls; changed the port setting to 443 in ichat preferences; re-set the HUB/Router;
    Is there anything else I can do or check? As I said it worked perfectly before the psp3 went onto the
    network. Should i assign AIM TALK to the imac wireless or to some of the other devices? (though I think I've tried that too!!)
    Help would be much appreciated as this is driving me to insanity, if I wasn't there already!!!!
    Take care, and thanks in advance for your help.
    Baz, Belfast, Northern Ireland, Europe!!

    "speedtouch modem!"
    Yes you do.
    Thomson-Alcetel who make the Speedtouch range make this device for BT.
    The Firmware is Thomson-Alcatels with BT Logo-ing.
    This Ethernet 3 connection is probably internal.
    Have you got System Preferences > Quicktime > Streaming set to 1.5Mbps ?
    If not then do and restart iChat to see the new speed.
    In Leopard the Automatic setting is read by iChat as 384K.
    This may be allowing the PS3 to have too much of the bandwidth.
    I or rather my son has a X-Box 360 which can be on-line when I video chat and it works for me, as it does when he uses his PlayStation 3
    If the AIM talk setting uses the same port here as it is listed elsewhere then it has only opened/allowed port 5190.
    This would have appeared to have been coincidental to any iChat use when you changed it.
    Are you not using UPnP in this device ?
    Which firmware is it up to ?
    Anything above 6.2.2.6 should work.
    Anything starting with 6 and containing letters is later.
    In the .telephony section does it mention which port are open ?

  • IChat is not working after uninstalling iMessage beta

    Hey all.
    When the iMessage beta was available I installed it.  After several uses I decided I didn't like it and re-installed iChat.
    Now the iChat does not work at all.
    My buddies do not stay in the list and are always listed as Offline eventhough I know they are available for chats.
    I took my Macbook pro to the Genius Bar where we re-installed everything but no luck.
    I can now only chat from my ipod touch but I'd like to use my macbook for chats too.
    How can this problem be fixed?
    Thanks for your input.

    Hi,
    One is looking in the wrong place.
    There are three folders called "Library"
    The one in Hard Drive > Library
    The one in Hard Drive > System > Library
    And the Hidden one if you are using Lion in Hard Driver > Users > (Your account/Little House iCon) > Library.
    This Hidden one can be seen if you use the Finder > Go Menu and then Hold the ALT key to see the Library get added to the list.
    Then you can open Preferences.
    iChat can send Messages (IMs or Instant Messages) to valid AIM Names or to Jabber IDs
    It cannot send iMessages like Messages Beta can or the iPod Touch can with the iOS 5 messages app.
    The OS can be reinstalled several ways.
    One is to use the Lion restore option which mean starting the computer holding down the CMD and R at Start up then choosing the "Recovery" Drive.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4718
    There is a USB Memory stick drive that can be purchased and I would not be surprised if the Stores made use of this.
    I would also think that Apple may provide the Stores with DVDs that can install the OS.
    I was hoping that you either saw the process or the Chap told you which method was being used.

  • IChat alerts not working

    Hello. My alerts for iChat are not working. I looked at iChat preferences and the sound is on and set to the maximum volume. This problem started randomly - it has always worked before. Now it no longer makes a sound when sending or receiving messages. The sound works everywhere else on my computer.

    Try starting GarageBand and then quitting it.
    Restart iChat.

  • HT3669 HP ENVY 4500 e-All-in-One Version 3.2.1 does not work on iMac 20-inch, Mid 2007. Only recognizes scanner not USB printer.

    HP ENVY 4500 e-All-in-One Version 3.2.1 does not work on iMac 20-inch, Mid 2007. Only recognizes scanner not USB printer.
    I would like to print via the USB connection instead of wireless (the wireless does work, and the scanner works via USB).
    I tried connecting the printer directly (via USB) to my MacBook Pro laptop and it worked just fine.
    How can I make this printer work on my iMac?
    I spent 4 hours on the phone with HP and we did every combination of installation of drivers ad nausum and their bottom line is that it is a Mac problem.
    Any help would be appreciated. Will be sending this printer back to Amazon if I can't make it work on the USB.
    I am open to questions or suggestions
    Thanks,
    Chet

    After 4 hours on the phone with HP and another hour with Apple (Mavericks support) no real solution other than check everything (removed everything from Login Items, removed all HP software anywhere in the system reboot, reinstall printer) then when nothing worked for the 4500, did an OS Reinstall (boot with CMD+R).
    The Mavericks support group did open an incident (# 542875311) and I will update it when I figure out how to find it on the system.
    My feel is that the base problem is that somewhere between the HP-Inkjet-SW-OSX-Mavericks_v12.34.49-2 package and the Apple HP Printer software in the Library (version 2.16.1) the app for printing via the USP Port just does not get installed for the mid 2007 20 inch iMac. The scanner is recognized on the USB Port and the Printer works fine on Wi-Fi. I have too many devices to burden my home network with anothe device. Also, every time I put any HP Printer on Wi-Fi, my router (Netgear N600 WNDR3400 running 12 to 20 devices depending on who is home) gets wonky (but that's anothe story...).
    Additionally, when I attach the HP Envy 4500 to my MacBook Pro (2010) it works perfect - print and scan via the USB prot and both functions show in the System Preferences - Printers and Scanners just as expected and just as the 3050 does.
