Cannot start iChat with friend - receive error "Invalid remote IP address"

I'm having trouble connecting to iChat with friend. We are both using AIM accounts and click on connect. The other person accepts the invitation and iChat tries to connect. It fails and I receive the error message, "invalid remote IP address". I'm am using Mac OS X Tiger while my friend has Leopard. Does that make a difference? I appreciate any feedback.

The Leopard end should make sure that in System Preferences > Sharing has Internet Sharing Off.
Also they should not be connected to the Internet twice such as Wifi and Ethernet to the same router.
Using Parallels in Leopard causes a similar issue.
In this case turn Off the two VPNs in System Preferences > Network (and set Parallels itself to get it's Own IP and not share the Mac's)
Some MIMO modem or Wifi routers can cause this.
Get a new modem or router is the simple answer to that one.

Error 244: The DataFinder cannot start due to an internal error.

I have LabVIEW 2010 and, during Windows start-up, this error message pops up:
"The DataFinder cannot start due to an internal error.
(244): Please wait till the National Instruments PSP Service is running and try starting the DataFinder again or reboot your computer."
I have had this error message pop up for the past year so it is a recurring thing. It started showing up a few months after I had installed the LabVIEW program onto my computer, so I am not sure on what caused this message to consistently pop up. I find that it also causes a delay in the starting up of my computer--my other start-up applications will begin to show only when I close the error window. Please help! Thank you.
Solved!

Hi xcontradictorx,
It sounds like the National Instruments PSP Server Locator might not be started. Could you go to Control Panel >> Administrator Tools >> Services and locate the National Instruments PSP Server Locator? Double-click on it and make sure that the service is started. If it is, stop it and start it again (just by hitting the stop and start buttons). If it is not, start it, then go to the Recovery Tab and choose Restart the Service as the action for First, Second, and Subsequent failures.
If after change the settings for the PSP service the issue continues I would think that for some reason the PSP service is just being started late for some reason. Could you do a test real quick: disable the DataFinder in msconfig, reboot, then run the DataFinder.exe from C:\Program Files\National Instruments\Shared\DataFinderDesktop\bin. This should place the MyDataFinder app in your system tray (it looks like a yellow gear).
If this is successful, then we will need to change the order of startup services such that the DataFinder just starts after the PSP service.
Try the following:
1) Locate the DataFinder entry from the registry. Located at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
2) Delete the DataFinder entry
3) Add a shortcut of DataFinder.exe to C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Startup
4) Reboot
This should do all the standard Windows Startup (like starting services, etc.) and then launch the DataFinder.
One question: do you use the DataFinder at all? Either with DIAdem or the Data Finder toolkit? If not, you could try removing it from the Startup items. Just go to Start >> Run... and type "msconfig". Choose the Startup tab, locate DataFinder, and deselect it. Click apply. This will probably get rid of the error message.

Why does my itunes crash after start up with an "APPCRASH" error every time i open it?! I have been trying to fix this for weeks but all i can do it re-install it every other day which does nothing!

Why does my itunes crash after start up with an "APPCRASH" error every time i open it?! I have been trying to fix this for weeks but all i can do it re-install it every other day which does nothing! I am desperate to get access to my itunes to get music on my phone and all of this just makes me want me to sell my iphone since there is no other way to add music to my phone. If things go get sorted soon you can say goodbye to my support.

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.

I cannot start firefox with message your firefox profile cannot be loaded. It may be missing or inaccessible

i cannot start Firefox with message "YOUR FIREFOX PROFILE CANNOT BE LOADED. IT MAY BE MISSING OR INACCESSIBLE"

This is usually caused by a problem with the profiles.ini file and the profile marked as Default=1 in this file is no longer present on the hard drive.
*Windows: %AppData%\Mozilla\Firefox\<br>C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<profile>\
*Linux: ~/.mozilla/firefox/
*Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/Firefox/
You can use one of these to make Firefox create a new default profile or reuse an existing profile:
*Delete the profiles.ini file to force Firefox to create a new default profile
*Use the Profile Manager to create a new profile<br />Use "Choose Folder" when you create a new profile to select the location of a lost profile and recover this profile

Error: The DataFinder cannot start due to an internal error

Hello,
I get the same error message every time I reboot my Win 7 PC:
"National Instruments DataFinder"
"The DataFinder cannot start due to an internal error."
"Please wait till the National Instruments DataFinder Index Service is running and try starting the DataFinder again, or reboot your computer. "
I tried finding a DataFinder Index Service in the Control Panel --> Admin,istrative Tools --> Services, as mentioned in this post http://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW/Error-244-The-DataFinder-cannot-start-due-to-an-internal-error/td-p/...,
but there was none such listed service:
I cannot find any mention of a DataFinder or a DataFinder Index Service anywhere else on my PC. Can you please help to find out where this error is coming from and how to fix it? As far as I am aware, I do not use this DataFinder. Thanks!
Regards,
Brandon

Hello BrandonVonk,
The toolkit wouldn't show up in your installed programs list as it is more like a plugin to LabVIEW. Instead, pull up NI License Manager and go to Local Licenses > LabVIEW XXXX > Toolkits and see if it is listed amongst the toolkits you have installed. There should be a geen box next to it to indicate that it has been installed and activated.
Hope this helps,

E6, sync with gmail, error "invalid remote databas...

Hi,
I am trying to synchronize my Google calendar with Nokia E6.
I go to
MENU -> SETTINGS -> CONNECTIVITY -> DATA MANAGER -> SYNC
and the new profile I created as guided on:
http://nokiadownloadblog.com/guides/tipsync-google-contacts-nokia/
when I synchronize I got an error:
invalid remote database
I check calendar name in gmail and in Nokia sync profile. In both ways the same.
Any idea what does "invalid remote database" mean?

I doubt this will ever work. I tried it once on Symbian^3, just for fun, got the same error and gave up.
I recommend to use MfE instead, which works exceptionally well with Gmail/calendar/contacts on Symbian Anna.

[wscompile] error: invalid remote interface

I have an interface I want to publish as a web service. This interface extends java.rmi.Remote and each of its methods throws a RemoteException. But when I run wscompile (via ant) against this interface in order to have the wsdl file generated it gives me:
error: invalid remote interface; class manplan.j2ee.service.project.ProjectManager is not an interfacee
I have searched the forum and the internet yet could not find an answer. Any hints are most welcome. Below you will find excerpts from the relevant files.
Cheers,
Olaf

OK. Found it: unlike Axis' java2wsdl does wscompile not support JavaBeans and so it gets confused by all those Project params and return types. So I guess wscompile is not the right tool for me in this situation?

"Device Cannot Start - Code 10" - Windows Vista Error, w/ 2nd Gen. Nano

I'm having trouble with my Nano and Windows Vista. The computer is recognizing the iPod just fine and seeing all of my songs, but nothing will play and the diamond bar does not move. I can't hear previews online either.
Under device manager, a yellow "!" shows up for the iPod, and it says "Device Cannot Start - Code 10" when I check. All of my drivers and updates are current as of today. So is iTunes. Any thoughts?
It worked before, but now it's not.

This is a reasonably common error on a PC when there is a problem with either a USB device, your USB cables or hardware, or the system drivers.
In a case where, as you say, the device works properly with other computers, the problem is more likely to be with the hardware or drivers on the computer you're trying to connect to.
See this site for some hints:
http://www.pchell.com/hardware/usbcode10.shtml
I found it via a web search; I don't have any connection to that site.
The good news is that your iPhone is probably fine.

Navigation Cannot Start from this location. ERROR ...

Navigation used to work fine on my X6, but since having to do a hard reset of the phone (due to other problems!) I cannot use the Navigation.
Everytime I get the error 'navigation cannot start at this location' and it doesn't seem like the phone can ever pick up my location.
I have tried un-installing and re-installing the application but to no-avail!
I haven't even wasted my time calling Nokia Support, as they are totally useless!
Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this please?
I am gutted, my phone used to be amazing, now it seems as soon as I resolve one issue, there becomes another!!

After a huge update of my maps 3.06 using wifi direct to my N8 anytime I tried using destination on my phone only to get an error message "car navigation cannot start from this location". It didn't matter where I wanted to go to I got the same message. I use navigation more than any other app on my phone even phoning and texting and this is why I stay with Nokia so to loose my navigation would be a diaster. I googled the problem and found some tips to delete "cities" and any map files I could find but to no avail. I did a hard reset but stillI couldn't navigate and in OVI Store Installed Apps I could see Ovi maps and navigation 3.6 and also 3.08. I googled how to delete Ovi Suite Installed apps and got the tip to install Nokia Suite 7.1 which I did and deleted every file with map in i's namet . I was left with a file maps 3.08 4kb in size which couldn't be deleted but I continued and installed Maps 3.06 again and after a little fine tuning I can now navigate with data turned off again. Yahoooeeeeee

Cannot start Outlook 2007, a program error occurred. Tried lots of things....

I'm getting an error message of: "Cannot start Microsoft Office Outlook. A program error occurred. Quite Outlook and Microsoft Windows and then start again. A program error occurred. Quite Outlook and Microsoft Windows and then start again." when
I try to start Outlook 2007 running on windows 8.1. (standalone with pst file, not exchange)
I have tried:
Restarting computer (hard boot)
Running in safe mode: Outlook /safe
Resetting the nav panel: Outlook /resetnavpane
Running scanpst on the pst files.
Outlook /cleanprofile
Creating a new profile
Checking if windows search is running (it was) and restarting it.
All with the same error message.
I'm stumped. Any ideas how to get Outlook to open? Was there some sort of windows update that ran last night and messed up Outlook? It worked at end of day yesterday.
Thanks in advance.

Thank you for the update, seems the problem has been resolved, right? If this issue comes back or you need further assistance on it, please feel free to contact us.

[Reopened] qtcreator starting slow with at-spi error

Hi
After the qt update qtcreator is starting slow. After seconds of nothing happending the following message is printet to the stdout:
[user@ArchBox ~]$ qtcreator
xQt at-spi: error getting the accessibility dbus address: "Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken."
Accessibility DBus not found. Falling back to session bus.
Only solution i found was removing at-spi as a workaround. But Gtk3 depends on it so this is not possible. Any suggestions?
Thanks, regards
Archdove

Ok. So i removed all the qt stuff and deleted even the projects. Result is that it is starting fast now. The error however remains.
Solved for me.
Edit: Reopened. Back to slow startup after the first try.

IPhoto does not start up with incompatible Prokit error

i installed the new version of iphoto 9.3 ( as prompted by software updates). post installation, iphoto does not start up. it throws an error " incompatible prokit framework".

I have Mac OS 10.8 too and it won't run the last versions of both iPhoto and Aperture. It does work with earlier versions (Aperture 3.2.2 and iPhoto 9.2.3).
I suggest you to downgrade iPhoto rather than the OS as in less than one week Mac OS 10.8 will be released and hopefully you will be able to update it and to run the last version of iPhoto with it.
By the way, I think that my grandmother upgraded to this new OS but I don't know how to downgrade it.. LOL
