Communications problems with iChat

Hi,
A friend and I are having problems getting video working in the new iChat (from leopard). because we have no other mac friends its hard for me to pinpoint whether the problem is on my end or his. Is there some kind of bounceback service where i can test to see if my audio/video is getting out?
or can someone add me to there buddies list so i can try with someone else? my AIM account is [email protected]
Thanks in advance

Communication problem with proxy server

We have establish the configuration of an iPad to access the enterprise net, but when trying to access any webpage we get the next message: Safari can not open the page. Error:"There is a communication problem with proxy web server (HTTP)"
The access has no problems with other movile devices.
Ahy help?

Hi,
I am not sure whether you have already solved the problem or not....
Do the following to deploy MobileBIService.war file on tomcat
1.Stop Tomcat Web application server.
2.Copy the file, MobileBIService.war from [Install directory]\Mobile 14\Client to the Tomcat's "Webapps" directory.
In my case, I copied the MobileBIService.war from C:\Program Files (x86)\SAP BusinessObjects\Mobile14\Client to C:\Program Files (x86)\SAP BusinessObjects\Tomcat6\webapps. ( I used BO 4.0 SP02)
3. Start Tomcat.
Restarting Tomcat would automatically deploy war file as a Web App
One folder u201CMobileBiServiceu201D will appear in webapps folder when MobileBIService.war is deployed successfully.
Hope it helps.

Communication problem with printer when using Parallels

OK, apologies if this has been asked elsewhere but I've been trawling the forum for an hour and have yet to find the exact problem that I'm having!
First of all, I'm a recent convert to Mac (hurrah I hear you all cry), secondly, I've set up Parallels to deal with some PC left-overs, thirdly, I've tried to use my old Dell printer and realised Dell doesn't support Macs (or not my AIO 922 anyway).
So, I thought I'd get round this by installing the drivers for the printer on the Windows partition, which all went well until I actually tried to print something... although the printer is visible and 'on-line', I get the box informing me there's a communation problem with the printer and computer.
It's beginning to wind me up so any info/advice would be greatly appreciated

This is either a Windows or a Parallels problem. For Parallels go to http://forum.parallels.com. For Windows go to the support forums at Microsoft.
There is no support for either product at these Discussions.

Communication problem with Adobe 9.0 and HP Printer when I scan

I'm having a problem getting a .pdf file to come up when I scan from a HP 5610 All-in-one printer. Have uninstalled and reinstalled HP software three times but when I scan and want a pdf file it won't communicate with Adobe 9.0 reader for some reason. Is there a setting in Adobe reader that's a problem?
Thanks.

Thanks...found out that an HP5610xi All-in-One will not completely communicate with Adobe 9.0 Had to go to Adobe 6.0

May be that the HP software doesn't support Adobe Reader 9.

Problem with iChat changing my custom away message after 30 minutes

Lately, I've been having a big problem with iChat changing any custom away message that I put up to "Away" after 30 minutes or so. Is there anything I can do to make it stop? Another issue I'm having is that sometimes when people on my buddy list change their away message, it doesn't show up on iChat unless I go offline and then sign back on. Any idea why it's doing that, and what I can do to get it to stop?
Thanks.

Hi ienjoyanime,
Go to the General Section of iChat Preferences.
Does it say you are set to Go to Away when you log off/QUit iChat ?
is the computer going to Sleep at this point ?

New problem with iChat

Good morn
I still haven resoved my previous post about connection problems with iChat, but hope to do that when I visit my dad next month. Thanks for all the advice anyway.
A new problem has emerged, and seemed to coincide with the install of Tiger 10.3 last week. Now when I try to connect to various tests sites, I get an "insufficient bandwidth" error.
Is this likely to be a problem with Tiger, as I have not changed my isp, settings or broadband type?
Or could it just be the exess load on the system over the Christmas period with all those naughty teenage boys downloading **** and playing games during the school hols?
Any suggestions and/or fixes greatfully accepted.
Thanks

Problems with iChat 4.0.2 / Leopard / BT HomeHub

I have a .Mac account and iChat 4 on a iMac running Leopard 10.5.2 and using A BT Home Hub for my internet connection. I am able to have a video chat with my wife who has a Powerbook / Leopard / iChat 4 set up in our house, both using the BT Home Hub. But when I try to set up a video chat with my friend in Copenhagen who has a .Mac account and a Powerbook running Leopard it won't let us connect. It will let us have a text only chat.
I have read various posts on this subject and changed the firewall to let iChat in, changed the Quicktime streaming to 1.5 Mbps and changed the port in iChat server settings to 443.
Has anyone else any ideas, I am thinking maybe the Home Hub is the problem as i can connect to my wife's Powerbook on our home network.

I too am having problems with iChat 4.02 on an iMac running Leopard 10.5.2 as are numerous people having different hardware/software configurations. I've tried some of the suggestions like changing the server settings to 443, and changing the firewall to let iChat in. I believe somewhere, somehow Apple or AOL have changed something that may be causing these problems. I'm not technical enough to go changing a bunch of things and hope it works.
iChat was working for me about a week or so ago using AIM. I could video chat with a MacBook running 10.5.2, a MacBook Pro running Tiger and a Dell PC. Last night when I tried using AIM and iChat i could only text. However, I could video chat using our dotmac accounts and server settings 5190. But for some reason you aren't able to do that.
At first I thought it was because I stumbled into using CUPS to get my Xerox color laser printer finally working (after getting the new iMac) by changing localhost:631 to find my printer at port 9100 (whatever all of this means). But deleting the printer didn't restore iChat.
Someone on this forum suggested that installing Safari 3.1.1 may have somehow caused the problem. Maybe they are on to something!
My most recent software updates are:
2008-04-08 15:27:20 -0400: Installed "AirPort Utility" (5.3.1)
2008-04-08 15:27:24 -0400: Installed "Digital Camera RAW Compatibility Update" (2.0)

2008-04-23 19:31:31 -0400: Installed "iMac EFI Firmware Update" (1.3)
At the moment I need my printer working, more than I need iChat. But I do hope someone figures out why this isn't working!

Problem with ichat, error message says computer does not support video chat

I have never had a problem with Ichat until yesterday...now apparently I don't have the video capability. I am running 10.7.2. I turned off Facetime. I now have the video camera image but it won't let me video chat. Any ideas?

Hi,
In iChat open the Connection Doctor (Video menu) and the the Capabilities option
Are all items showing Green ?
Try restarting iChat (It re-reads the computers Ability at each launch)
If that does not work try restarting the Computer.
Make sure that in iChat menu > Preference > Video Section the Bandwidth Limit is not set to 100kbps (this is too Low for 1-1 video chats)
Do a Speed test
"Real World" speeds need at least 256kbps both up and down.
Check the System Profiler is "seeing" the camera.
It will be in Hardware > USB

Communication Problem with the second battery

Hello,
In Lenovo Solution Center it says that there is communiction problem with the second battery. I already had this problem some months ago, back then it didn't charge the second battery. I got a new one and it worked again. Now it says the same thing "communication problem", but i can charge the battery and I also can't find any other sign of something not working. But still- it seems weird that the program tells me something is wrong. Can somebody help me?
Thanks Lina

Hi, Lina
What is the machine type and model of your computer? Also, what operating system are you running?
Thanks in advance,

COMMUNICATION PROBLEM WITH SCANNER TO COMPUTER OF DESKJET 3050 j610

WHEN i TRY TO SCAN USING MY DESKJET 3050 j610 A MESSAGE SHOWS 'COMMUNICATION PROBLEM NOT CONNECTED THEREFORE i AM NOT ABLE TO SCAN.
i HAVE BEEN TRYING TO RESOLVE THIS PROBLEM OVER 8 HOURS AND I' M GETTING SICK. I'VE TRIED EVERYTHING AVAILABLE ON THE SUPPORT PROGRAMS INCLUDING 'PAINT' AND NOTHING WORKS.
I NEED A ANSWER OR I;LL THROW THIS THING OUT

I have the same problem here, i have two PC's both running Windows 7 but only one works printing and scanning wirelessly.
On the PC running Windows 7 32bit wireless printing and scanning works great.
On the PC running windows 7 64bit only wireless printing works. Havent found a solution, but just a work around. Here it is......
1. Got to you printer and hit the Wireless button to find the IP address your router gave it.
2. Open up your Internet browser and input the IP address.
and...BAM!!! if it worked it should take you to the Deskjet 3050 All-in-One J610a Embedded Web Server page and from there you can scan with what looks like all the original options if the thing was working to begin with and save to your PC.

Communication problem with FP-2000 and Labview 7.1

I am using the FP-2000, DO-403 and TC-120 modules with Labview 7.1, being run on a host computer via an ethernet connection. The setup has operated flawlessly for ~2 years; recently, I have noticed that while a VI is running on my PC, connection to the FP module ceases. There is no pop-up "connection error" in my VI, and the all the power and status LEDs on the FP modules are normal. I can still interact with the VI on the front panel while it is running, but nothing is passed to the FP module. I have tried communicating with MAX when this occurs and receive a "no connection" message. Is there a simple solution here, such as rebooting the FP module? Or is it time to invest in new hardware?
Justin

I am having a very similar problem with my cFP-1804 and Labview 7.0. I have no problem initiating communication over ethernet, and the vi will run perfectly for hours or even days. Inevitably, however, at some point there is no longer communication with the cFP-1804. Data is no longer being passed either to or from the cFP-1804, and MAX will show that the device is not connected. I also will not see any pop-up error message that says the connection has been lost, either from Windows or from Labview. The vi will just continue to run as if nothing has happened. Turning the power to the cFP-1804 off and then on will always resolve this problem. Since I am using the cFP-1804 primarily for data logging, however, this behavior is particularly problematic as the system will record nothing but zeroes until I discover that the communication has been severed and perform the manual power cycling.
I have been unable thus far to determine the cause of this problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Derrick

Internet problems with iChat

Hi,
i opened the Ports 1024-65584 for iChat in my router's configuration two days ago. And now i have problems with my internet connection.
The connection is available, obviously, but I can't use iChat. Everytime I open iChat I can't open websites any more, without an error message.
When I close iChat and restart my MacBook everything's fine, until I open iChat again ...
I'm using DHCP in the network configuration, that can't be the reason for my problem because it worked for month (with my old iBook an my new MacBook). And it still works with my iBook, but not with the MacBook.
I hope you understand my problem and my german english:)

I seems that the problem has been in the router configuration …

Help! Having problem with ichat/video

Hello
Last week i bought a macbook and love it. Yesterday i was playing around with the camera and using the video effects ( changing the way i could look). Then a blue screen flashed then it would happen again few min later. Today, it happend again, but then a minute later it froze and quit ichat by itself. Whats the problem? Its weird, its just a random blue flash ( the whole macbook screen doesnt flash just the camera box.
Heres what i do::: log onto to ichat, click on Video preview, then click on show video effetcs. So when im looking at the camera it flashes blue. then it would freeze then quit along with ichat.

Were you rapidly changing the effects?

Problem with iChat AIM - Multiple login, log out

I am having a recurring problem with my iChat. Every time I try to log into AIM when I'm home, it rapidly logs in and logs out, and then tells me that I have loged in too many times and need to wait a few minutes to try again. I have tried the delete .plist file solution, but this did not work. This is a very very annoying problem, because I love using iChat when it actually works.
I have also tried using other IM applications, and they all work flawlessly... whats up iChat? Any Ideas?
R.V.

Hi,
The problem is not limited to Netgears.
In fact I never had the issue with the Netgear I had.
It is an extremely well documented issue with Zyxel devices since iChat 2
134 response to Searching for Zyxel across iChat 2 and 3 forums.
It sort of goes like this.
At one time routing modems or routers could only do Port Forwarding
This involved pointing one port at One IP (Computer)
You could not forward a Port to two computers (IPs)
Since then manufacturers have added in stating Protocols as well as Ports to open.
So as UDP and TCP protocols tend to be the ones on ports above 1024 you have some apps that have both Protocols in use and in some cases on the same port.
It does seem that this business of not being able to Forward a Port twice also effects those were you ow have to state Protocols as well.
iChat uses two ports twice.
Port 5190 is used to do the AIM Log in and basic Text chats on TCP
It used UDP to Send Files, Pics-in-Chats (Direct IMs) and certain Buddy List feedback and Group chats (Chatrooms).
Less effected is the Bonjour Port 5298
The regular posters have long since held the view that the AIM servers sometimes can not handle all the login and text traffic on just port 5190 (ICQ is also owned by AOL and on this same port).
We Suggest port 443 for several reasons.
However it is mainly as this is below the threshold of 1024
There are in fact 65535 ports that could be in use.
Most domestic devices have the port up to 1024 open to all computers connected.
This means Web Browsing (Port 80) and Mail (ports 110, 443, 567, 955 and others) are below this threshold and will work "out-of-the-box"
As any firewall included in the device or on a Mac with Tiger or Earlier the port 443 is likely to be opened for a Mail App (It is also used in Web Browsing to Secure sites like Banks and the Apple Discussions Log in page) so that several apps can use the port.
It is worth noting that the Leopard Firewall works differently in allowing the ports associated with an App on an Certificated (by app) basis so there is no Piggy-backing.
On the SPI (Or if you have DOS) Front.
These features tend to be Threshold based.
DOS comes from the time when so called Hackers got together to all try the same web site/page and repeatedly refresh the page so that the server got lots of incoming requests.
This overloaded the server and brought down the whole web server and the computer it was on lost connection to the internet as a whole.
DOS protection looks to see if this "Too Much Data, Too Quickly" scenario is happening and will cut that one port (In the case of iChat 4) that it is happening on.
(iChat Can send LOTS of data)
SPI tends to try and filter things in a different manner by checking if the data looks valid.
IT seems in some cases it can not keep up with the amount of data iChat can stream and consequently cuts the connection the same as DOS does.
Both are dependent on how fast your Buddies Processor is, how fast their Internet Connection.
(Some Buddies can send only 15fps of a 640 X 480 pixel pic other can manage 30fps or twice as much data)
This is somewhat augmented (or not) by how fast you can accept data both over your Download speeds and your processor dealing with it.
Therefore it can seem to be an intermittent problem depending on the circumstances of the connection of that chat.
My Netgear had DOS and It had it Off (Along with the Ping Blocking)
My Current Sagem Fast 2504 has only the Block to Internet Pings settings which is Off
So on the whole Experience and Practice.

Communication Problem with Nomad Explo

Hi All!
I have a pretty great Problem with my Creative Zen Touch I bought just one month ago:
When I connect it to the Computer to store or read File Data, the connection slows down to a minimum and when I try to drop something or just open a folder, the Nomad Explorer does not react anymore. So I'm not able now to retrieve my important backu
ps.
I guess it could be a worse and non-readable storaged file that cause the problem, because a few weeks ago there were no problems. But I don't know how to find and clear this problem file, if there is one. Another friend guessed it the built-in HDD could me fragmented, but I don't think I have coused such data traffic in one month. So my Question is: Can I format or defrag the HDD? Or maybe there is an alternati've Explorer so I don't have to use the Nomad Explorer? Or has the Nomad a kind of "Debug Modus" to ignore or delete wrong files? I would be gradeful for any help, thanks, Alexander (7, Germany)
Technical Spec. of the Computers I tried to connect to:
AMD Athlon XP 00Mhz
256MB RAM
Windows 2000 Professional
USB 2.0
(worked for a while, about two weeks. then the problem appears!)
AMD Athlon64 3200+
024 MB RAM
Windows XP Professional and Windows XP 64-Bit Edition
USB 2.0
Intel Celeron 200MHz (Laptop)
28 MB RAM
Windows 2000 Professional
USB .
Intel Pentium 4 3200Mhz
024 MB RAM
Windows XP Professional
USB 2.0
The Creative Zen Touch was already on the newest Firmware when I byed it. On all computers was used the Creative Nomad Explorer, installed from the CD or downloaded from Internet (Creative.com Support).

Hum.. Yep, thanks. Yesterday I read the post about how to access the rescue mode. checking and clearing up the HDD doesn't work, but after formatting it seems to work normally again, after losing all the backups I had... After all, I'm glad I don't have to send back the Zen to Creative. And thanx they set such a nice recovery mode into the ground system of the player =)
Thanks for Help. Now Admins can clear my Account, I wo'nt use it anymore
