AV conference from MAC to PC

Here is the thing.
Most of my friends I want to video conference with are using Messenger for Windows (they are slowly getting converted or sold to mac but still on PC for now.
Is there an easy way for me to video conference with them other than having them all switch to AOL or Skype? Is Messenger for Mac now allows for this or is it still intra corporation only? I'd rather use iChat; could I do it using iChat
Thx

Wait till the end of the year http://www.appletweets.net/messenger-for-mac-8-with-webcam-and-audio-support-lea ked-version/
Or try Tokbox http://www.tokbox.com/

  • Can't initiate a video conference from Mac to PC wtih iChat and AIM

    I am using iChat on an iMac intel core duo and trying to video chat with my dad on a PC laptop using AIM 5.9. We can both invite the other to video chat, however when either one click to accept various things keep us from initiating the chat. One message we get says a firewall may be the problem. My firewall is turned off. He is running Norton. But we tried with that firewall turned off as well as the windows firewall tirned off. At the moment we are on the same network connected via a 2wire router (Myself wirelessly and he via ehternet). I have tried various settings with the router firewall including setting the PC to DMZ and the Mac to the settings specified on portforwarding.com.
    When I initiate the conversation from the Mac he gets a brief flicker like the video window is opening and then it closes; meanwhile my computer says waiting for response until it gives up. When he initiates the video chat and I accept I get the message that the chat failed because I did not respond even thougth I clicked accept. He gets a mesage that the chat failed and the reason may be a firewall.
    Any ideas on how to get this to work so that we are able to video chat. Also he will be returning home in a few days and using a linksys router.
    Any help or ideas to try would be great

    Dear Ralph,
    Sorry for the confusion, I did assume you were an Apple empoyee. Your knowledge about iChat is stunning. I appreciate your effort to help users by sharing your knowledge with such dedication. I do apologise.
    Regarding:
    Port forwarding is being automated and static ip addresses will be generated automatically.
    Let's call it redirection (the handshake indicates the port to forward to).
    When you have NAT running in your home you have the entire Internet available to all your machines. What if you have a machine behind the NAT gateway that needs to be accessed from outside? This is where redirection comes in. Redirection allows incoming traffic to be sent to a machine behind the NAT gateway.
    An example:
    rdr on tl0 proto tcp from any to any port 80 -> 192.168.1.20
    This line redirects TCP port 80 (web server) traffic to a machine inside the network at 192.168.1.20. So, even though 192.168.1.20 is behind your gateway and inside your network, the outside world can access it.
    The from any to any part of the above rdr line can be quite useful. If you know what addresses or subnets are supposed to have access to the web server at port 80, you can restrict them here:
    rdr on tl0 proto tcp from 27.146.49.0/24 to any port 80 -> \
    192.168.1.20
    This will redirect only the specified subnet. Note this implies you can redirect different incoming hosts to different machines behind the gateway. This can be quite useful. For example, you could have users at remote sites access their own desktop computers using the same port and IP address on the gateway as long as you know the IP address they will be connecting from:
    rdr on tl0 proto tcp from 27.146.49.14 to any port 80 -> \
    192.168.1.20
    rdr on tl0 proto tcp from 16.114.4.89 to any port 80 -> \
    192.168.1.22
    rdr on tl0 proto tcp from 24.2.74.178 to any port 80 -> \
    192.168.1.23
    A range of ports can also be redirected within the same rule:
    rdr on tl0 proto tcp from any to any port 5000:5500 -> \
    192.168.1.20
    rdr on tl0 proto tcp from any to any port 5000:5500 -> \
    192.168.1.20 port 6000
    rdr on tl0 proto tcp from any to any port 5000:5500 -> \
    192.168.1.20 port 7000:*
    These examples show ports 5000 to 5500 inclusive being redirected to 192.168.1.20. In rule #1, port 5000 is redirected to 5000, 5001 to 5001, etc. In rule #2, the entire port range is redirected to port 6000. And in rule #3, port 5000 is redirected to 7000, 5001 to 7001, etc.
    Static ip addresses are necissary to ensure that the router does not hand out the same ip twice, hence my question about the data transferred when a user connects his new mac to the one wich was set previously by the user (or other user). I think this information is explained in the Network Traffic Analysis you direct iChat to when they are asked to port forward (manually). I do not know the url by heart but it should be a known link to you.
    Regarding auto response:
    Sometimes you have to consider whether a very direct (and unelegant) interveniance in the software outweights the malfunction of an application that is causing a lot of trouble and inconvinience to Mac users. Personally I think that in this case the risk of being disturbed (still the same as anyone who askes for attention using chat or even phone) outweighs the much more irritating and incomprehensible "user did not respond" message and thus not being able to use one of the main features promised and promoted by Apple.
    Yes life is inconsistent,
    at least life is not sold to you.
    Regards,
    JPM

  • 3 way video conference from mac to pc

    I have a Power Mac G5, and have recently started video conferencing with my friend, who happens to be a PC user. We have both been video conferencing through Skype, and it works great... but is it possible to add a 3rd person to our video conference (another pc user)? Any suggestions would be much appreciated! Thank you!

    Can not be done in iChat.

  • Cannot send email from icloud account from mac

    cannot send email from icloud account from mac running 10.8.2

    The SMTP server you are using with Wi-Fi would be the outgoing server of your internet service provider... this is likely why that's working.
    SMTP servers specific to a ISP would not work on the 3G network. You would probably need another SMTP server. One from your cell provider?

  • Photoshop CS6 can't save to server after upgrading to Mac OS Yosemite Server from Mac Lion Server

    We recently upgraded our server from a Mac Pro 2008 with OS X Lion Server to a Mac Mini 2014 with LaCie 20TB 5Big Thunderbolt 2 RAID drive. Everything is working fine with the exception of Photoshop. It does it intermittently but once it happens it will continue to do so. We get message like "Can't save to disk because of disk error" and "Can't save file because of program error" . Sometime we are able to do a "save as" and save over it. Most of the time we have to "save as" with a different file name and then rename and recopy the file. We have check permission on all the file as well as the server HD has ignore ownership checked. Again only three things changed. 1) Sever hardware change from Mac Pro to Mac Mini. 2) Server software upgraded from 10.7 Lion to 10.10 Yosemite(both have the latest update). 3) Drive when from internal on Mac Pro to External Thunderbolt 2 LaCie drive. We have no problem with Illustrator or Indesign. Only Photoshop. Anyone with any suggestion is greatly appreciated.

    Unfortunately you seem to be using Photoshop in a way that Adobe discourages, so you may not be getting a lot of helpful advice.

  • Cannot send mail from mac mail or Entourage

    Hi guys,
    Wondered if anyone out there can shed some light on this little problem.
    I use Entourage for my emails & all was working fine until yesterday. I can receive mail from all and sundry but I can't send anything. I subscribe to ntlworld internet service and if log onto my email through their webmail, then it's fine. I've tried sending mail from mac mail and I get the same problem. I've been onto microsoft support & gone through all the troubleshooting with Entourage. The Entourage techy suggested it was my internet provider blocking my emails as they think I'm a spammer?? I phoned ntl & they insist it's nothing to do with them as I can send/receive from the website. (If I send an email with the address @ntlworld it's fine, but any other address i.e. all my clients/mates etc just stays in my outbox.
    Nothing on any of my settings has changed so I'm at a loss what to do next.
    Any suggestions greatly appreciated.
    Thanks, Mel

    it may be that your server (internet provider) has just started blocking outgoing mails not authenticated by them.
    Go to your account set up...
    and fill in the following details.
    SMTP SERVER: smtp.mac.com
    then click on advanced sending otions...
    click on override default SMTP port... type 587
    click on SMTP servber requires authentication...
    use same setting as receiving mail server.
    try this...

  • Documents from Mac added to iCloud do not show up in Pages on iPhone 4S

    Synopsis: Dcouments added to iCloud through Safari on Mac do not show up in Pages on iPhone 4S. New documents created in Pages on iPhone do not show up in iCloud. I expect the doucments to appear on my iPhone soon after uploading them from my Mac to iCloud through Safari, and to appear in iCloud soon after switching to the document listing in Pages and leaving the app. Several hours passed by without transfer happening, and I have waited a day and reconnected to Wi-Fi to wait several more hours. Still nothing shows up either in Pages on iPhone, or in iCloud in Safari on Mac. They are listed with their sizes and extensions (.pages or .pages-tef) in the iPhone Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > Manage Storage > Pages, though they don't seem selectable from there.
    Software versions and Settings:
    Mac
    Mac OS X 10.7.2 (Lion)
    Safari 5.1.1
    Pages 4.1
    System Preferences > iCloud: signed in; everything selected, except Photo Stream (no iPhoto).
    Everything seems to work, except Find My Mac is flakey.
    iPhone 4S
    iOS 5.0
    Pages 1.5 (417) [no other iWork apps]
    Documents:
    the defualt "Getting Started";
    a test document with default name "Blank" and content with the word "Testing", shown with upwards arrow in upper right corner; tried renaming to "Just testing", no transfer resulted.
    Plus button + offers: Create Document; copy from iTunes, iDisk, WebDAV; no iCloud (probably because it's supose to be auto);
    Settings > Pages:
    Use iCloud: ON
    Restore: OFF; I have tried this, it automatically turns itself off after restarting Pages. No obvious changes result in Pages.
    Settings > Wi-Fi: ON, connected to a network; tried several networks around town, as well as at home with a Time Capsule router.
    Settings > iCloud:
    everything ON, except Photo Stream;
    Documents & Data:
    Documents & Data: ON
    Use Cellular: ON; also tried OFF initially.
    Storage & Backup:
    Manage Storage > Pages:
    three documents in iCloud are listed, one of which I had created before iCloud on iPhone 3GS, and deleted from iPhone 4S after documents added to iCloud from Mac weren't showing up as expected;
    their sizes are given;
    suffixes are .pages for the two created on Mac, and .pages-tef for the one created on iPhone 3GS (before iCloud);
    iCloud Backup: ON; successfully backs up everyday;
    Email works, contacts are synced, calendar works, and everything seems fine except access to documents.
    Approaches:
    Software updates
    Updated all software, no further updates available. Please confirm with aforementioned version numbers.
    Add and Remove Documents
    Used Safari to add two documents to iCloud with its menu for Pages of iCloud's iWork section, one at a time. Documents were originally created in Pages on Mac, and continuously edited since then. Explicitly saved documents (Save a Version on Lion) before uploading. Documents appeared listed in web page without problem.
    Have tried deleting a document on iPhone that was originally created with Pages on iPhone 3GS prior iOS 5 as a way to jog the listing on iCloud. Listing on iCloud in Safari on Mac continues to show document deleted from iPhone. [Before deleting document, I had updated iPhone 3GS to iOS 5 and signed into iCloud a couple days before getting iPhone 4S, then immediately used the restore from iCloud feature for the iPhone 4S in the Apple retail store, updated all apps on Mac and iPhone, then deleted the document in Pages on iPhone.]
    On iCloud in Safari on Mac: deleted the two documents uploaded from Mac; added the same documents again; edited documents on Mac, then uploaded and chose "Replace documents"; removed documents again; added them again. Never showed up in Pages on iPhone, even after waiting a day.
    Have used iTunes to add the same documents to Pages on iPhone. Successfully opened documents in Pages on iPhone through plus button + > Copy from iTunes. Deleted documents from Pages's document listing, though they remain in iTunes section.
    Removed documents of same name, though older copies, from Pages in iTunes for the iPhone.
    Created a new document with Pages on iPhone, simply added one word "Testing" and then switched to document listing. New document has name "Blank" and an arrow in the upper right corner indicating it will upload next time an internet connection is established. That hasn't happened regardless of being connected to Wi-Fi and cellular for several hours. Next day, reconnected to internet with both Wi-Fi and cellular, the new dcoument "Blank" still is not in iCloud when I visit the site in Safari on Mac, and still has the arrow in the upper right corner in Pages on iPhone.
    iPhone 4S Connected to Internet
    Connected to Wi-Fi several hours each day, and cellular all day except from about 10pm to 7am when I switch it to Airplane mode. Always connected to Wi-Fi and cellular when attempting to access the documents in Pages on iPhone.
    Restart iPhone and Pages
    Have double-pressed Home button on iPhone to reveal along the bottom of screen a list of apps currently open, touched and held an icon to reveal the close badge on all icons, and selected the close badge on Pages, waited a few seconds, then started Pages again.
    Have held On/Off button until "slide to power off" appears, then powered off iPhone, waited a few seconds, then held button again to start. Have done this with Pages either open or closed, per previous note. Still no change in document listing for Pages: test document still has not gone to iCloud, documents in iCloud still have not shown.
    I think the only thing I haven't done is a complete restore.
    Question: Can anybody point out what I might have missed or haven't tried that would get the documents from iCloud to Pages and vice versa?
    I'm not looking forward to several hours of restoring, but if I must…
    TIA

    Okay, I'm not sure what finally jogged it. It seems to be finally working.
    After downloading any documents I could from iCloud to my Mac, I deleted all the documents from iCloud. I also deleted all documents from Pages on iPhone, except the original "Getting Started" document.
    I duplicated the "Getting Started" document (Pages on iPhone) and edited it by moving the butterfly to the left on the same page, then switched to the Documents view. It had the arrow in the upper right corner of "Getting Started Copy", but no progress bar and nothing showed up in iCloud.
    Then, I think I went to Settings > Pages > Use iCloud: NO. Went back to Pages and got a dialog in the Documents listing:
         You are not using iCloud
    What would you like to do with the
         documents currently on this
                        iPhone?
    Keep on My iPhone
    Delete from My iPhone
    Continue Using iCloud
    I tried keeping them, then going back and turning it back on in Pages's settings, then going back to Pages. Finally something different happened: a progress bar on the "Getting Started copy" document. It never seem to finish, and would disappear if the phone went to sleep. I tried the whole sequenece again with same result, and nothing on iCloud.
    I then tried Settings > iCloud > Documents & Data: OFF, and agreed to "Turn Off Documents" and have all documents stored in iCloud deleted, because as far as I could tell there weren't any documents in iCloud at this point anyways. I went back to Pages and the "Getting Started copy" suddenly disappeared.
    So, I went back to Settings > iCloud > Documents & Data: ON, and did the same for Settings > Pages > Use iCloud: ON. Oddly, Pages now tried to download "Getting Started copy" even though it really shouldn't have existed anymore. I tried iCloud in Safari on Mac and saw there now was a document by that name, but when selected it said "Updating…" on it. I deleted it in iCloud, and it disappeared (I think, or I deleted it) in Pages on iPhone.
    I gave up and waited a bit, maybe an hour or two.
    I made sure all the settings were how they needed to be, noticed no documents in iCloud, and only the original "Getting Started" document in Pages on iPhone. I duplicated that document, and that's when it seemed to actually work. First, the arrow in its upper right corner appeared briefly, then a progress bar appeared on it instead, then the progress bar actually moved and completed. (I think. Some indicator happened. Everything is kind of fuzzy at this point while I'm writing this and juggling a couple other technical tasks.) Then I checked iCloud in Safari on Mac and the document was there. Wow.
    So, I immediately tried uploading to iCloud from my Mac the two documents I had been trying, one at a time. Each time the document succeeded in iCloud, it suddenly appeared in Pages on iPhone. In fact, the second document began to appear in the documents listing in Pages on iPhone just before the progress bar in iCloud completed.
    I tried opening each one in Pages on iPhone, and iCloud immediately updated each one with a preview and as downloadable. I downloaded them to the Mac and they opened fine. [Admittedly, the Pages version from iCloud of the "Getting Started copy" with the moved butterfly was a little different in Pages on Mac: it had the butterfly on the previous page underneath everything; the PDF version of that document had everything correct.]
    Anyways, the document listing between iCloud and Pages on iPhone is working now.
    I thinking it might have helped to clear out all the documents in iCloud and deleting all documents in Pages for iPhone. However, be sure to at least email copies from Pages on iPhone first if you don't have any backups. I think it might also have helped to turn off Settings > iCloud > Documents & Data: OFF, so it'll send that signal to delete the documents in iCloud, even if there's already nothing there. I don't know for sure, but that's probably the way to start from scratch. Oh, and maybe wait an hour or two after that before doing anything again, then turn Documents & Data: ON, and Pages > Use iCloud: ON, and then start by creating a new document in Pages on iPhone.
    I'm just glad I didn't have to do a Restore from iTunes. And now that it's working, it's so instant between Pages on iPhone and iCloud! This is seeming like it will definitely be great, now that it's working.

  • How to delete applications from mac pro?

    I think many people struggling at "How to delete appalications from Mac pro ,just because you made some mistakes or curious !" I know it is a bit difficut for people who are new users for the Mac .
    If you really don't want them ,you can delete them easily,
    As all you know after you download appalications from anywhere  ,it could be from apple app store or from other websites. They all can be disspeared if you don't like them .
    First , If you installed from apple app store  it will be really easily  just click at the app on the launchpad, after few seconds all the apps will be all shaking like leaves ,yes they are scared .(No No  don't delete me  I am helpful !) Ok yes  that is a little joke ! so what you can see now there is a small "x" at the top right corner .Can you see them ? just click the "x" And they will gone .
    Second step. This is only for you downoaded from other websites , In that case  , you just skip first step come to here  in order to save you some golden time .
    You can delete them from the launchpad , I have tried many times . i tried to drug them in the the trash . But after them all jump back to where they are , So you need to open the Finder ---> click the download -----> find the file which is belong to the app (make sure ) ------->click it  -----> drug it into the trash. then you can hear a little sound like you through it into the bin. it is really humanny  isn't it ? then go back to the finder again .---->click the application -------> find the icon on there which is you just drag into the trash.  do it again . take this one into the trash as well  then you will find the icon on the launchpad is disppeared . at the end don't forget to empty your trash   After that all job done , it is been deleted  ,
    Well done !
    Hope this could help all of your!
    Thanks for reading !

  • How Can I Synchronize Files From Mac to PC?

    I have a G4 laptop and a PC Desktop (HP Pavilion d4100e, AMD X2 processor, NTFS file system), and I need to be able to work on both. To work on both, I need to synchronize the file systems so that my 30k files on the Mac appear on the PC and I can progressively synchronize as I make changes on one machine or the other.
    I've tried a multitude of solutions, but have thus far been unable to set things up so that I can synchronize from one machine to the other. I learned that the copying process from Mac to PC would be interrupted if any of the files had a number of special characters that could occur on the Mac but not the PC, specifically: / \ ? " * . I more recently learned that a space at the end of a Mac file name would, once the file was sent over to the PC, be impossible to open and impossible to change the file name. I fixed all these problems using the mv_sed unix program. Nevertheless, a simple folder copy in the finder would quickly lock up--it would continue forever but no data would be transmitted. I then used the Synk program to synchronize to the mounted PC drive (mounted w/ 'smb').
    I got all my files over to the PC, but when I try to synchronize any changes I made since the initial transfer, Synk locks up as well--it keeps running forever w/o any transmission of data. At this point, I realized that I could not list the contents of some of the folders on the PC from the Mac (using Terminal, smb connection). After some experimentation, it became clear that there wasn't anything wrong w/ specific file names, but that it wasn't possible to list the contents of folders that had a large number of files. I fixed that, but I ran into a multitude of additional problems being able to list folders. I don't have the time to figure out why. My guess as to why Synk locks up is that it can't list folders for synchronization.
    At this point, I tried to make the file system on the PC more UNIX like, in the hopes that this would make synchronization possible. I installed cygwin on the PC, and I tried to use rsync to synchronize the files. Using cygwin, I seem to be able to list any folder from my Mac. So far, so good. But rsync is unable to transfer many files to the PC. It seems to try to create a temporary copy and then it can't read its own temp file, apparently because the file was never created. It also goofs up at points and puts a copy of a folder inside itself. Also for some reason it copies files over even when they already exist.
    So far, no good solution. Is it possible to synchronize a real filesystem from Mac to PC? How? I'm guessing Apple doesn't have much incentive to insure this is possible.
    Cheers,
    Peter

    Hi, I try to conect Mac Mini from 2009 with my HD Tv Samsung F 6400 . With Mini Dvi conection and adapter to HDMI input in TV I got picture but not sound! I have analog cable from the phones out from mac but imposible to conect to TV? Can you HLP?

    You really need a newer Mac Mini with a true HDMI output, because that Mac Mini's DVI output does not support Audio.
    You might try a 3.5mm to RCA adapter
    from the Mac Mini's headphone jack to the TV's audio input,
    but that would require being able to select the Audio input in the TVs menu while using it's HDMI input.
    Optionally you could also use an external 2.1 Speaker System or patch the audio from the Mac Mini to your home stereo system to enhance that older Mac Mini's audio.

  • How to open document from mac when using windows without transferring the file?

    How can i open a document from mac when i am using windows without transferring it?

    depend on the document program more then anything else really
    when ever I open a doc with word it make a history for undo and redo action file in the same dir
    with bootcamp you only have read not write access to the osx partition so it would fail to be able to create that file
    but if you can get word or whatever program you use to open the file not to place a temp file in the same dir
    or use a program which did not make any type of temp file or used a program where the temp file would be located elsewhere where you decide it would work file

  • Can't print to Windows 7 shared printer from Mac OS Lion

    Dear all,
    I would like to share my experience battling to figure out how to print to Windows 7 shared printer from Mac OS Lion. Myself had this problem and looking throughly in internet without success. But finally I figured out the solution by myself, hope this can help other Mac user with similar problem.
    OK, when I try to setup my new MacBook Pro with OS Lion to connect with my Canon MX308 printer attached to desktop with Windows 7 Ultimate,
    1. I simply select System Preferences>Print & Scan.
    2. Then looks for the + sign just below the box to add a new printer.
    3. From the option toolbar above, I select Windows. I have connect this MacBook with my Windows Network, so the workgroup will appear to the left column.
    4. After I select this group, the computer list will appear in the middle column
    5. Then after I select the computer which my printer connected to, my printer sharename will appear in the right column
    6. Last step is to select the printer I want to use.
    7. After that it will automatically put your printer sharename to the "Name". And then I select my printer driver at "Print Using" and find my printer manufacturer which is Canon MX300 series from driver lists. Finish!
    My printer appear in the Printers List. But the problem is everytime I try to print there will be error message saying "ON HOLD Authentication Required".
    This problem start to kill me, I search all around for similar problem, but the solution was never worked for me!
    Until just now I figured out accidentally for the solution.
    THE PROBLEM LIES ON MY PRINTER DRIVER!!!! Although I have downloaded the most update driver from Apple site and Apple Software update said there is no more update for my system!
    The solution for my problem is Gutenprint Printer Driver! You can download this driver at http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/MacOSX.php, then select for the latest driver gutenprint-5.2.7.dmg. Install this driver!
    Then back to Print & Scan in System Preferences, then right click on Printers List box, then choose "Reset Printing System..." to clear the previous failed printers.
    After that, repeat the above step 2 - 7. Only for the last step I need to select the Printer Driver for my Canon MX308 for the driver name : "Canon PIXMA MX300 - CUPS+Gutenprint v5.2.7"
    Now I can sleep as a baby knowing that my printer make a friend with my new Macbook Pro! Hope this will help others!

    I have the same setup but with a Canon MX850.  This did not fix my problem. 

  • Why will IMAP email not send from Mac OS 10.10.1 Yosemite Mail even though it is configured the same as on my old Macbook (and emails are sending just fine on the old computer)?

    I can receive but cannot send IMAP email on my 1&1 mail account from Mac OS 10.10.1 Yosemite Mail on my new Macbook Pro. The account is set up the same port, password, username, server name as on my old Macbook and emails are sending just fine on the old computer.
    When I hit send on the new Macbook Pro running Yosemite I get this message:
    "The connection to host ... on port 993 failed.
    Select a different outgoing mail server from the list below or click Try Later to leave the message in your Outbox until it can be sent."
    It shows the server as (offline)
    I've tried erasing and typing in the password.  I've tried both checking and unchecking Automatically detect and maintain account settings. Still cannot send.
    I also have a Gmail account and it is working...

    email service uses an Incoming Server and an Outgoing Server. Mac Mail makes access to the Incoming Server(s) obvious, and hides the settings for the outgoing Server(s). A quick and easy way to get access to the Outgoing Servewr settings is to use:
    Window > Connection Doctor ...
    ... then click on the red light for the Server that is not working for you to see its settings.

  • On Windows Platform, encounters error when trying to open an Indesign document created from MAC

    Hi all,
    On Windows Platform, encounters error when trying to open an Indesign document in INDD format created from Mac. Error received "Either the file does not exist, you do not have permission, or the file may be in use by other application". I am currently using Adobe Indesign CC 9.2 Trial version.
    Kindly advise how can i open this document on windows platform and allows me to edit the document.
    Thanks!
    With Rgds,

    Normally there is no problem to open any INDD opening on Windows, when created on the Mac.
    But Mac user are often not aware on the naming limitations. A file name must not contain /, \, |, :
    It should not contain any extended character, it is not a primary problem but will be, if something links to that file, so avoid also: ÄÖÜäöüß+&
    You can use all other non A-Z a-z, 0-9 and - and  _
    I personally would also recommend to avoid spaces.
    This is valid for the INDD file itself but also for all linked content.
