Amsn worked mac to pc with isight imac g5 not working now

Help. For a few months been talking to partner on their pc with amsn on my imac with built in cam.
Partner got new pc. Now amsn is not sending my cam?
Any ideas?
Thanks

Hi Angus,
If it was done on her previous PC it is a strong possibility.
They need to go Start > Control Panels > Firewall > Exception tab and get added.
The other thing is if htye used Port Forwarding in their modem.
This could be trying to forward the data to the IP for the other computer.

    Hi iSMH;
    According to what Steve said in his keynote address on the Migration to Intel, so I think this is not speculation, they will start with the Mac Mini and iBook with the release being sometime during the summer of 2006. The rest of the line will foloow later with the Powermac being released sometime during the second half of 2007

  • If you are attempting to update using a Mac or PC with which you do not normally sync

    what happens when "If you are attempting to update using a Mac or PC with which you do not normally sync", & they say in step 2 or 3 in order not to loose your stuff "If you are updating your iOS device on a computer with which you do not normally sync , or if you disconnect your device before the sync process is complete, you may notice that some media content that was previously on your device is no longer there. You can restore this content by syncing with the Mac or PC with which you normally sync."
    now what if the pc that was originally used to sync my ipod , has corrupt or  bad systems files that are causing it from working correctly...? when i plug it in to the o.g. operating sysytems (win xp) it doesnt ever recognize or discover the ipod through itunes.  the pc will pop up the "cameras been plugged in, what would you like to do...?" but nothing thru itunes.  now if i reboot & run the windows 7 operating system w/itunes that has backed my ipod before & synced a few times as well, but not the o.g. op system used from the beginning (the very initial set up done on the ipod) it works fine, but DOES give me the warning "updating to 5.0 willdelete some of your apps & media, including ...  ....will only preserve contacts, calenders," ....etc.
    MY HUGE CONCERN IS if i do hit update & go through w/it, & not having been able to sync it to the one normally used to sync my ipod, will that back up i made be able to restore my game seetings, GAME SAVES, & data achievement type information....?
    please, i'm very hesitant to go through w/it, so if you can please help me out here & let me know asap.....i canimagine you're all busy busy, so  i thank you for your time here w/this
    thank you

    Not that hard. One the computer you are using do the following:
    - Transfer iTunes purchases.
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
    - Transfer other music using a third-party program like one of those discussed here.
    Copy music
    - If you have synced photos you need a paid program like TouchCopy or PhoneView
    - When all the media in on the computer, connect the iPod to the computer and make a backup by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
    - Restore the iPod from that backup.
    That computer is now your syncing computer. Note that the iPod backup that iTunes makes does not included synced media like apps or music.

  • How do I determine if the memory problems are with my imac and not the RAM?

    I've heard of some vague problems with intel imacs and their memory slots. I'm about to replace (for the 3rd time) RAM, and think I need to test further to see if the problem is with my imac and not the RAM. Right now I put back in the original 2-512 sticks that came with the imac, and the rember test is only showing 594mb (odd amt!) testing OK. But, in "about my mac" it will show as 1gb.
    Problems I've had with each set of RAM: occasional KP's, excessive spinning beachballs, sudden closing of apps (esp. if I have several apps running), won't fax usually (will hear a fax tone instead of a dial tone at the onset), disappearing documents section under my username.
    I bought this imac refurbed thru the apple store last fall: 2.16 C2D 20" imac
    Any ideas before I have to separate myself from my imac to send it in??

    Hi Toodles
    The pin strips on the new modules maybe a little thicker than your original modules, and it's going to take more force to seat them properly. If the new Memory Specifications are correct I would try them again. Slide them in untill they stop, then push real hard untill you feel them seat into place.
    I've never seen a report about an odd amount of ram shown. If reinstalling the ram modules does not solve your issue, and may be a indication that there is something wrong with one of the slots.

  • HT1145 The airport extreme used with my iMac is not seeing my other devices...anybody, please?

    The airport extreme used with my iMac is not seeing my iPhone 5, iPad (third generation) or my windows based PC.  When I open the airport utility it shows only the internet and my iMac.  It does not identify the others.  Any thoughts?  Thanks

    Hi DaileyT,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    For more information on this, take a look at this article:
    When do Apple wireless devices appear in AirPort Utility?
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3624
    Troubleshooting missing devices
    If your Apple wireless device doesn't show up in the wireless device list, try the following:
    Check to see that the device is turned on.
    Check that the device is connected to the network via Ethernet or in wireless range of your computer.
    Make sure the device has had adequate time to start up and become discoverable. In the case of Apple wireless devices that are not connected via Ethernet, AirPort Utility scans for new devices once every 15 seconds. From the time a device becomes discoverable (typically around one minute), it could take up to another 15 seconds before the device is displayed in the list.
    If you have just configured a new Apple Wireless device, upgraded the firmware, selected "Restore Default Settings..." or have hard reset and configured an Apple wireless device and it does not show up in AirPort Utility after restarting, you may have an incorrect setting. You may want to hard reset the unit and set it up again.
    If you are connected to a specific wireless network, all Apple wireless devices which make up that network will appear. However, if you "Restore Default Settings..." from AirPort Utility, or hard reset a device that is out of physical wireless range of the computer, you will need to move the device closer the computer to configure it again.
    Best of luck,
    Mario

    my mac is infected with viruses, Safari can not normally search for constantly appear commercials and some unknown site. What to do? antivirus free program that you recommend?

    You may have installed the "VSearch" trojan, perhaps under a different name. Remove it as follows.
    Malware is constantly changing to get around the defenses against it. The instructions in this comment are valid as of now, as far as I know. They won't necessarily be valid in the future. Anyone finding this comment a few days or more after it was posted should look for more recent discussions or start a new one.
    Back up all data before proceeding.
    Step 1
    From the Safari menu bar, select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
    Uninstall any extensions you don't know you need, including any that have the word "Spigot," "Trovi," or "Conduit" in the description. If in doubt, uninstall all extensions. Do the equivalent for the Firefox and Chrome browsers, if you use either of those.
    Reset the home page and default search engine in all the browsers, if it was changed.
    Step 2
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    /Library/LaunchAgents/com.vsearch.agent.plist
    Right-click or control-click the line and select
              Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
    from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item named "com.vsearch.agent.plist" selected. Drag the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password.
    Repeat with each of these lines:
    /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.daemon.plist
    /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.helper.plist
    /Library/LaunchDaemons/Jack.plist
    Restart the computer and empty the Trash. Then delete the following items in the same way:
    /Library/Application Support/VSearch
    /Library/PrivilegedHelperTools/Jack
    /System/Library/Frameworks/VSearch.framework
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ConduitNPAPIPlugin.plugin
    Some of these items may be absent, in which case you'll get a message that the file can't be found. Skip that item and go on to the next one.
    This trojan is distributed on illegal websites that traffic in pirated content. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect much worse to happen in the future.
    You may be wondering why you didn't get a warning from Gatekeeper about installing software from an unknown developer, as you should have. The reason is that this Internet criminal has a codesigning certificate issued by Apple, which causes Gatekeeper to give the installer a pass. Apple could revoke the certificate, but as of this writing, has not done so, even though it's aware of the problem. This failure of oversight has compromised both Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. You can't rely on Gatekeeper alone to protect you from harmful software.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination  command-C. In the Finder, select
              Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

  • Which Mac OS came with each iMac?

    Wondering if there is a way to determine exactly which Mac OS came with one of my older iMacs (7,1 Intel Core 2 Duo)
    Or for any other Mac released within the past several years.
    With 5 Macs here, I find that I am a bit confused about which disk came with which machine.
    Thanks

  • After migrating my mac book air with my imac all my applications are in folders

    All the applications work, it's just not easy to find a program without looking in the folders.  All the applications on my imac were not in folders. These folders are for iWorks, Microsoft Office, Adobe, etc.
    Any way of removing these folders from the applications folder to go back to viewing just the icons?

    Those same applications are in folders on my pair of iMacs (one set up via Migration Assistant and one installed from scratch) and my MBA also (also installed from scratch). If you have applications such as Safari, Dictionary, QuickTime Player, Mail, Stickies and TextEdit which are not in folders, then your system would appear to be quite normal and nothing to worry about.
    You can manually move applications out from the folders if you wish (though this can prevent them updating correctly), or for quick access, do as I do which is to add them to the dock - just drag the application icon to your prefered location on the dock for it to be available with a single click without having to navigate through the application folder at all.

  • The mouse that came with my imac does not work very well in a window virtual machine

    I finally got Windows 7 on my iMac and am using FusionVM.  I installed one of my favorite games and the mouse goes soooooo slow I cannot use the game.  Any suggestions?  I am using the mouse that came with the iMac, magic mouse(??). 

    I have already tried that.  The mouse speed on the iMac is good.  The mouse speed in other Windows7 programs is good.  The problem arose when I tried to play Zuma's Revenge using Windows7.  This is the first game I have loaded since setting up the virtual machine. 

  • Is mac mini compatible with screens which are not Mac?

    Is Mac mini compatible with screens from other brands different to Mac?

    Yes.
    We have two minis with three screens betwen them, LaCie, Eizo and HP. All work fine.
    Obviously you need to check limitations on screen size etc.

  • Syncing my iPad with my iMac will not update the apps software

    Whenever I sync my iPad Air 2 to my iMac the updated apps on the iMac will not update the apps in the iPad. I have rebooted the iMac and iPad, tried different cords, and checked all settings. All other things in the iPad sync properly.

    Are you using iTunes Match by chance?  I had no problems whatsoever with play counts synching between any of my devices until I started using iTunes Match.  I turned it off and magically my play counts synced.  Once. Hasn't happened again though. 

  • Can you connect a mac book pro with a samsung galaxy note via blue tooth

    can you connect a macbook pro with a samsung galaxy note via blue tooth
    it seems that they will pair but as soon as the mac has connected it automatically dissconnects
    i was informed in the apple store before i bought it that it would be ok
    any thoughts

    The USB port on the Time Capsule is used only to connect a hard drive.
    Connect your Mac using an Ethernet cable to one of the LAN <-> ports on the Time Capsule if you do not want to use wireless.

  • All of a sudden my WiFI will only connect with my IMac and not my IPhone or laptop

    my WiFi will connect to my IMac But not my IPhone or Laptop and it did up until a couple days ago

    You might want to consider changing the name of your wireless network on the AirPort Extreme and then test to see if all devices can connect that way.
    If you decide to do this, leave any apostrophes, dollar signs, exclamation marks, etc out of the wireless network name. Use only letters and numbers in the wireless network name.
