Does 10.4.3 fix anybody's "insufficient bandwidth" issue?

Apple claims that 10.4.3 makes progress on curing the "insufficient bandwidth" issue that plagues many ichat users. It did not help me. Did it help you?

hi Cgist,
iChat needs a minimum connection speed of 100kbps for even 1-1 Video chats.
This can be capped by setting System Preferences > Quicktime > Streaming tab to a speed less than than this.
It can be further capped by iChat itself in Preferences > Video Section > Bandwidth Drop down (even setting it to 100 here will enable only abbout 80% of the bandwidth available.
There is also a difference between pure internet connection speed and the bandwidth available. Imagine a 4 lane carriage way. It may have 4 lanes and a speed of 70 mhp but add cars and coaches(buses) and lorries(trucks) then it soonn becomes congested.
You can test your Internet connection speed here http://www.dslreports.com/stest
You can check the settings above.
You also need to get your Buddy to check.
Also any other app that is using the internet is also eating into that bandwidth as are other computers sharing the connection.

  • How much does it cost to fix the iPad cracked screen

    MY iPad screen broke. How much does it cost to fix it?

    Skydiver119 wrote:
    It's an out of warranty repair, so the cost starts at 219 for a mini, 249 for other models and goes up depending on drive size and whether or not it's 3G
    I would add that this is for a replacement iPad, not a screen, and that Apple does not repair just the screen (you probably knew that).

    Well!
    If you have ThunderBolt, I would go with such for an External Working Drive, spinning platter or SSD depending on your budget
    This does not have to be huge just big enough to house your most current Jobs
    Once the Current Job is put to rest I would move it to a larger multi bay hard drive unit, USB or FireWire nothing fancy, no RAID, set up as one single Disk
    This would only be accessed when something is needed from a past Job so the connection does not have to be speedy
    The Drobo would be relegated to Vaults and backups
    You can set up a Vault on the Drobo to back up the External Working Library and then Reconnect it when you have moved the Library over to the other Enclosure
    This has worked for me pretty smoothly for a long while, but I have found over the years that one can not assume all people work in the same manner! :-)

  • Barcode shows a bunch of squares when barcode is made on AI CS11. Does anyone know a fix for this? We have CS2 running on another PC and we don't get this problem.

    Barcode shows a bunch of squares when barcode is made on AI CS11. Does anyone know a fix for this? We have CS2 running on another PC and we don't get this problem.
    Background:
      Using FrameMaker 7.1 to create a PDF file where a CS11 barcode file is embedded. PDF generates fine but we get a bunch of squares when we copy and paste the barcode data into Notepad.
      We have CS 2 running on another PC and we don't get this problem. Do I need to install a plugin (if any) for CS11 to get this to work?
    Thanks!

    Thanks for your feedback.  I was not able to mention earlier that in my line of work, we use Notepad to check if the barcode text is written correctly or if the corresponding text can be found if searched in the PDF... We use FREE3OF9.TTF font when entering text values for the barcode (usually in document/part number format exclusive for our company's use) in AI CS11. After saving the AI file, we attach it in a document using FrameMaker 7.1, then a PDF file is created. The output PDF will be a certification sheet for our products. They (our clients) should be able to scan the document/part number out of the barcode. I'm sorry, I could not divulge any other information so I am not sure if this clears out the issue. It used to work before but I had to get my PC formatted and since then I have been encountering this problem. I am trying to figure out if we missed to install a component or something got messed up after re-installing Adobe Illustrator CS11.

  • After LION update web Cam is no longer being detected at all. Does anyone have a fix? Thank you

    After LION update web Cam is no longer being detected at all. Does anyone have a fix? Thank you

    Thank you, Rod!
    While researching frame rate I came across this helpful blog posting: Crazy about Captivate: Lessons Learned: Video and Resolution in Adobe Captivate
    This is the line that caught my attention: "I discovered, after several experiments, that if you publish a course in Captivate as SCALABLE with a video inserted, no matter what the resolution, it makes the video look pixelated."
    When I unclick the "scalable HTML content" button before publishing, the video is fine!
    Big sigh of relief! Now I just need to figure out why audio won't play on one of the slides (it has an accordian widget, if that's relevant) and why I can no longer use Effects (I get the message, "Effect file is not valid")

  • Is it me or did everyone's ipod get slow and laggy with ios 5? Does anyone know a fix?

    My iPod seems to have gotten slow and laggy when I try to open up apps or even play music since I updated to iOS 5. Does anyone have a fix for this issue?

    yes! I am having a bunch of issues...including really slow.  it completely locked up in the nike + app, Facebook is slow...and sometimes I can't use the imessaging unless I send a picture with the text.

  • Videoprt.sys is giving me high dpc latency. Does anyone know a fix?

    Hiya. I am optimizing my windows-partition. Killing all unessecary drivers, services and processes goes a long way. Also due to sloppy coding in XP kernel, I need to set processes to idle priority, to avoid CPU2 stalling CPU1 when maxed. I have also set win32priorityseparation to 25, which is superficially similar to a low-latency linux-config I did.
    However still, I have a module "Videoprt.sys" which reports 1.5ms DPC latency. (Using RATTv3) Dpc latency checker also reports DPC latency of 1.5ms. I see computers out there with 10uS DPC latency
    Does anyone know a fix for this?
    Peace Be With You.

    Fixed it needed to have a return null;
    this is the code
    if
            (MonthjComboBox.getSelectedItem().equals("") ||
             DayjComboBox.getSelectedItem().equals("") ||
             YearjComboBox.getSelectedItem().equals("")){
            return null;

  • When using quick edit for compressed CSS, edge code does not jump to the particular class but displays the whole thing. This destroys the whole purpose. Does anyone know a fix or extension for that.

    When using quick edit for compressed CSS, edge code does not jump to the particular class but displays the whole thing. This destroys the whole purpose. Does anyone know a fix or extension for that.

    I suspect that beautify doesn't touch CSS that it is not aware  of (e.g. new properties/syntaxes, vendor-prefixes). See if there's a newer version available.
    Which compressed CSS are you using? Most CSS libraries come with both compressed and original stylesheets, so use the original one during development/debugging, and switch to the compressed one for deployment.

  • HT1338 I cannot access my Hotmail account with Safari on my MacBookAir but I can access it on my Mac/Safari and also from my PCs.  Has anyone experienced the same?  Does anyone know a fix for this?

    I cannot access my Hotmail account with Safari on my MacBookAir but I can access it on my Mac/Safari and also from my PCs.  Has anyone experienced the same?  Does anyone know a fix for this?

    To find out if it's system wide or user specific, try this...
    Open System Preferences>Users & Groups, unlock the lock, click on the little plus icon, make a new admin account, log out & into the new account.
    Does it work in the new account?

    I updated from os 10.5 to snow leopard and my logic 8 crashes upon opening.  Does anyone know any fixes? thanks

    Logic 8 should have no problems in SL.
    Use Software update to check if you've got the latest update for it (SU will only offer an update if it's not already installed).
    Failing that, I'd start by uninstalling Logic and re-install from the DVD in case something got corrupted during the update.

  • Does Adobe have a 'fix' for the problem of desktop icons turning into Adobe icons after a previous Adobe update?

    After a previous Adobe update, all of my desktop icons turned into Adobe icons. I'm not sure how it happened - I just looked away from my computer for a second and when I looked back, there they were!
    Does Adobe have a 'fix' for this problem?  I have had to uninstall Adobe in order to use my other programs, but I teach and I use Adobe documents quite often, so now I can't open those.

    I am having this problem as well.  I hate to just wait and hope Apple will fix the problem, but I'm not sure what else can be done. We can't be the only people experienceing this, can we?
