Cant send or recieve text messages with ichat

when i use my aim account to chat, i can open a chat window with a buddy but when i do i get the "typing" symbol. it looks like i am typing but im not doing anything. when i actually do send a message, my friends can receive them but the window doesnt show that i sent anything, it just looks like i am typing. my friends respond but nothing changes on my screen, just the same old typing symbol for me. any one know whats going on?

Hi Ralph,
it is basically the same with parallels or vmware.
Host-Only:
Means taht you communicate only with your mac on a special independent interface (this has nothing to do with your macs ethernet or airport IP / Interface) The VM can not see the Internet then. Only your Host...
NAT:
Advantage: No need to reconfigure the VM when changing the Network or switching from Airport to Ethernet.
Disadvantage: Shares the Macs IP (but i dont see if this is really a problem ;))
bridged:
Advantage: direct access to the 'external' network via the same Interface as the host. VM has its own IP
Disadvantage: need to reconfigure the machine when switching networks
Hope this clarified things.
I still do not see why parallels in NAT mode should be a problem with iChat.
Is there a known problem? I really would try if this problem also exists with vmware
Regards,
somi

  • Unable to send or recieve text messages

    For some reason I am unable to send or recieve text messages, can anyone help me with this situation

    Hi ,
    Is your Orange phone still working? The EE phone will have a temporary number until yours transfers over.
    When this has transfered you will need to do the below:
    Update your number
    Go to Settings > Phone > My Number.
    Replace the temporary number you find there with your own number - use +44 instead of the first 0.
    Then tap Save.
    Reset iMessage settings
    Your iMessage settings won't reset themselves during porting - the temporary number will still be in your new iPhone.
    To input your old number into your new iPhone:
    Go to Settings
    Tap on Messages
    Tap iMessage ON
    Scroll down to Send & Receive number
    Replace the temporary number with your old number
    Then tap Save.
    That's it, you're all ready for action. with your number.
     

  • Can't send or recieve text messages on the 7610

    Whilst on holiday my phone stopped beingable to send or recieve text messages. It was working for a few days but then just stopped and the message "delete some data to recieve sim messages". I deleted almost everything but nothing has worked. Im now back in the U.K and its still the same. Also, underneath the battery bar is an icon which I have never seen before, its the number 1 with an arrow underneath it going from left to right and pointing mid way thru.
    Is this a virus? Can anyone help please?

    I'd upgrade your firmware because when I had a 7610 it used to do all sorts of dodgy things like what has happened to you.

  • After i updated to ios6 i cant send or recieve picture messages?! help please

    I recently updated to IOS6 and now i cant send or recieve picture messages unless im using imessage. But then when i do use imessage it send messages as my email not as my phone number....what is going on?!

    From the 2nd link below.
    Errors 3000-3999 (3004, 3013, 3018, 3164, 3194, and so on): Error codes in the 3000 range generally mean that iTunes cannot contact the update server (gs.apple.com) on ports 80 or 443.
        1.    Update to the latest version of iTunes.
        2.    Verify the computer's date and time are accurate.
        3.    Check that your security or firewall software is not interfering with ports 80 or 443, or with the server gs.apple.com.
        4.    Follow Troubleshooting security software. Often, uninstalling third-party security software will resolve these errors.
        5.    An entry in your hosts file may be redirecting requests to gs.apple.com (see "Unable to contact the iOS software update server gs.apple.com" above).
        6.    Internet proxy settings can cause this issue. If you are using a proxy, try without using one.
        7.    Test restoring while connected to a known-good network.

  • My 8130 cant send or recieve pix messages.

    Do I have to download software to allow my phone to send and recieve picture messages? I cant get a straight answer from the girl at the store and I havent recieved anything from Blackberry but I was told when I bought the phone back in June that it would be capable of the option soon

    Are you provisioned by AT&T to use MMS?
    Do you have MMS turn on in message settings?
    Lastly contact AT&T as messaging is a carrier feature.

  • Can't send or recieve text messages via WiFi

    I have a Galaxy S4 and live in a black hole; little or no cell service. If I go outside I might get one bar.  This is not my issue though, as I'm used to this and have a land line.  However, I would like to be able to send and received text messages via WiFi on my phone.  But I get a message that there is no service available, even though I have WiFi enabled and have a good WiFi signal.  How can I get my phone to use WiFi for sending and receiving text messages at home?

    Text messages go through the voice cellular network not wifi.
    You might want to check out a third party messaging app that uses data either cellular or wifi to send messages.

  • Cant send and recieve texts

    hi, my friend for the past three weeks has expierencing not getting text messages and sending them. She cants recieve them or send them to only certain people and now me the one in her own family plan.
    We have gone into the store three times and asked about it and they can fix it for about thirty minutes to an hour and then it doesnt work again. We have tried a soft reset and a hard reset. we have also removed one from all the numbers and that doesnt work either. we have also been asked to clear the logs to stop it from slowing it down or blocking it up, that also does not work. since she texts alot this is becoming a problem and no one can seem to fix it. please help

    Hi there,
    If hard and soft resets are not helping, then your friend may need to reload her OS.
    If she would like to try this, here are some steps that can walk her through it.  Feel free to let us know if you have any questions.
