Can't See The Wife Any More
We have an iMac 24 (Intel) with built-in iSight in our kitchen in the house. I have a G5 (no camera) in the office (same network). We're both on Tiger.
For a couple of years my wife has been able to call me up via Bonjour and I can see her in the iChat window. Just recently the connection still works for audio but I can't see her any more. She can see herself in the iChat window and I get an iChat window but mine is just a blank white space – no darling wife.
I've checked the preferences but can't see that anything has changed.
Help appreciated.
Bob.
Thanks but no that didn't work. However I've established that it's 'my end' i.e. it's the G5 that's not playing ball.
I also have a MacBook Pro in the office (Leaopard) and tried a one-way-video from that machine to the G5 (after setting the preferences and re-starting iChat as you suggested) and the result is the same.
It sounds like it's going to work, I get the dull chime when I accept the Video Chat but just the same shortened white screen.
So I tried a video chat (two way) between the iMac and the MacBook Pro and that works fine. (I thought I'd also try a one-way-video chat form the iMac to the PowerBook but there's no option for this – the little devil must know the PowerBook has a camera.)
Bob.

I have multiple lines for family members on my account. Can I still transfer upgrades between lines? I don't see the option any more.
More everything. I have one line coming up on the 19th of this month and I'd like to transfer to another user with a later upgrade date. Just not seeing the option anywhere.

Help, my googlemaps can not use the gps any more after updated the software.
hello
i am fresh here
about a month ago i got a 9630 from bell
at first the googlemap works well, but a few days ago i updated the software(9630AMEA_PBr4.7.1_rel77_PL4.1.0.40_A4.7.1.40_Bell_Mobility_Inc)
since then it can't use the gps any more.
it always say "your current location is temporarily unavailable. gps temporarily unaviliable "
thank you very much if any buddy can help meGo into your OPtions, then advanced options, applications and highlite google maps, menu button, edit permissions. make sure they are set to "allow". this will typically solve it. also go into your GPS settings (under options) and make sure its set to "location On".
Try these and you should be back up and running. -
I restored my I phone 4 using Itunes, after that I can't access the icon any more I only got a message that says " ( Sim not Valid.) Only compatible SIM cards from supported carrier may be used to activate iphone. I need some proffesional help. Thanks
"We're Sorry, Activation Server Temporarily Unavailable, contact Customer Care, Sim not vaild?"
99.9% of the time, the cause of this issue is the fact the phone was jailbroken/hacked to unlock it for use on networks other than the network the phone was originally locked to. Apple maintains a database of officially unlocked iPhones, and when Apple's servers detect phones such as yours, activation stops & you get the message you got.
So, either get a sim card from the carrier your phone was originally locked to, or get it officially unlocked, if you want to activate it. Because it appears that it was not officially unlocked. -
Airport Extreme green light but can't see the wifi network
Hello, coming back from the holidays I can't see my Wifi network anymore (From PS3, Phone, Computers ..etc.). My airport has a greenlight and the internet is working fine if my computer is connected with an Ethernet cable. I re-did the configuration many times and I did a hard reset of both my modem and the airport. It is not setted to a hidden connection. All the settings are basic like before. The only difference is that I did the update to 7.6.4.
I think you were right, my airport was broken and I noticed that at the end of the configuration process where there's a green checkmark it was written in the bottom that a wifi device wasn't working properly. Nothing could be done to make it work though.
I bought a new Airport Express now but I still have a major problem. I was able to configure it through wifi with my iMac without any problem and now it is connected to the internet via wifi perfectly but i STILL can't see the network with either my Android phone or my PS3 console !?
- Brand new airport express
- configured to "create a wifi network" with a WPA2 password using the simple steps of the airport utility
- Airport Utility 5.6.1
I did reset the airport express a few times with the utility and by removing the power cord. I also did reset my iMac and I can still connect to the wifi just fine with it. -
Can't see shared libraries any more...?
I used to be able to see shared libraries on the left hand bar, but now that tab is gone. I've already gone under preferences to make sure the Look for shared libraries preference is checked. I've tried unchecking and checking this repeatedly. I don't know what else to do, because I used to be able to see them completely fine but I can no longer.
Well the first thought is, are the shared libraries you used to see actually currently online?
In other words, if you used that to see the library from the computer upstairs while on the downstairs computer, is the upstairs computer currently running iTunes? Because you can not see the library if iTunes isn't running or if the computer is off or if the computer is disconnected from the network.

Hello,
Thanks in advance for your kind assistance.
I'm out in a remote area, at a little inn. There's no cell phone service here. To my surprise, my laptop, a Macbook, picks up a strong WiFi signal, without password protection, probably provided by the proprietors for the guests. The woman at the desk knows little about it. That's how I'm posting this message.
There's another WiFi signal, weak, and password protected.
My iPod touch, 4th generation, can see the weaker WiFi signal, which I can't use, because it's password protected. There is no indication it is picking up the stronger signal. I tried "join other networks" and typing in the name of the router that my MacBook picks up, but that doesn't work either.
My iPod normally works fine. I don't know what to think. I tried "reset network settiongs." Then tried "reset all settings." No improvement.
Please advise.
TMWell, lllaass,
I don't think this is the correct explanation. As I understand it, 5 Ghz N band WiFi routers also use the 2.4 Ghz band, and can shift back and forth as needed. It might be possible to disable the 2.4 Ghz band on such a router, but who would bother? Not likely the proprietor of a little B&B out in the middle of nowhere. Unless I've misunderstood something about 5 Ghz N band WiFi routers.
On the other hand, there don't seem to be many other good explanations for this odd anomaly.
I suppose it's possible that there's something wrong with my iPod Touch 4G -- either something I never noticed before, or a new problem that occurred in the last few days.
Previously, my iPod has worked well with a variety of WiFi routers.
Any other thoughts, lllaass, or anyone else?

I have a Netgear WNR2000 router and an Edimax EW-7438RPn wifi range extender. I have gotten the range extender to work well with my MacBook Air, however, while my iPhone 3Gs and iPad mini can pick up the wireless signal from the range extender, they cannot get to the Internet through it. No IP Address, Subnet Mask, Router, or DNS appear in the details on either the iPhone or the iPad mini. How do I get the iPhone and the iPad to connect to the Internet. It seems that the problem is with the iPhone and iPad, since the MacBook Air works just fine with this set up.
Junglemania,
Go into the setup page of the EW-7438RPn. Go to Wireless Advanced Settings. There is a WMM settings. Make sure the WMM is enabled.
This may help you out. -
I can't see my Library any more!
I wanted to create a new calander for 2014, so I created a new catalog and started to import 25 images which were in my library in various folders. once I was done with the selections I could see that there are several catalogs set up from each folder of origin. if I click on library to get out of the "catalog" mode nothing happens. I can no longer see any of my library folders on the left panel, unless I try to import more images.
How do I delete or cancel this request to add a catalog and get back to my original library?
also, in hind sight, I believe I wanted to add a "collection". please confirm the difference between a collection, smart collection and a catalog.
Thank you
FloormanI would recommend you have a look at some of the videos here: http://jkost.com/lightroom.html before you end up with a bigger mess and possible loss of files.

Can't 'see' firewire HD any more.
I've had a sleep/freeze problem, for which I'm working through advice on old threads, but in the meantime my G5 has lost the ability to 'see' my LaCie FW drive on which I have lots of backups. I've disconnected it, reconnected it, switched it on, off, rebooted in various combinations, but nothing. The drive doesn't mount and can't be seen in System Profiler.
I have no other FW deviced attached.
Any ideas?First thing to do is reset the FW chip set on the mother board. Unfortunately, when you power down the computer there is always a bit of power still applied to the motherboard to keep things alive and this usually includes the ports to do stuff like detect when a device wants to wake up the computer. The downside of this is when a bus/port chipset goes into a weird state, power cycling the computer won't work.
So first thing to try is resetting the chipset and to do this you have to power down the computer and completely unplug the computer from the wall power (unplug the power cord to your Mac). Also unplug everything from the Mac's ports (USB, FW, Ethernet, etc.) to make sure no parasitic power is still there to keep the chip alive. Now let it sit for ten minutes (give those big power caps in there time to discharge). Now plug it back in, start up the Mac and see if your FW ports and the drive work any better.
If that doesn't work, next step it to plug the drive into another computer and see if you can read it there. If not, could be something wrong with the drive (I know Lacie had an issue with power supplies for their drives sometime back).

Where can I see the downloads LIST when downloading podcasts,
like in the older version of iTunes? I find it frustrating that I see only one
download at a time now ! Any suggestions please?Thanks for taking a stab at it: that didn't prove to be the problem. That option in the settings for tabbed browsing was not checked.
I may be a bit behind the times: I am used to tabbed browsing showing all the tabs it possibly can, instead of just the last one. Sometimes it won't even show the last tab: I can have 15 tabs open, and not see a single tab. I've been confused by this into closing a window with lots of tabs open, because it looks like a single page-window.
My main problem with the tab-bar flashing to the end of the row is that it means a great deal more mouse-clicking around to browse.
I haven't tried installing the latest beta. Maybe that would fix the problem.
