Using iChat to communicate with Pidgin users on a Citrix Presentation Serve

We have been using iChat on OS X and Pidgin on Windows XP in our environment for several months now. We use Bonjour as the protocol so it makes for a very lightweight easy, inexpensive IM solution on our network (no server component needed).
I hadn't noticed it before today, but I was communicating with a Pidgin user who was using a Citrix Presentation Server login (running Pidgin within that session), and the name that iChat displayed as the person I was talking to was not the actual person that was talking to me. iChat was displaying a different user who was also using Pidgin in another current session on the Citrix box. If I fired up Pidgin on my XP virtual machine and ran Pidgin from there, the user name is identified properly.
So it appears that iChat is tying the user name of the IM session to the IP address and then looking it up from the list, which results in a random mis-identification of the IM user on the Citrix session. BTW, there was a Bonjour update a few days ago, it may actually be Bonjour rather than iChat itself. Anyone have any suggestions, ideas, bug fixes?

I have no new info on this.
It does seem a bit odd.
Note:
By default Bonjour broadcasts and receives data on port 5353 on UDP Protocol to let other Macs know it is there (Linked to mDNSResponder in Activity Monitor).
See here http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1629
It may pay to try and check Pidgen and the Mac are using the same ports.

Email issues with PC users

I am a web project manager and email daily with both PC & Apple users. I use Apple Mail as my default program. I have had countless issues with the formatting of my email appearing differently to PC users on Outlook when sending or forwarding Rich Text emails. I try to stick with plain text but sometimes Rich Text is required.
My current issue is orphan "B" characters are appearing through out the body of my email text when sending or forwarding Rich Text emails to PC users. This is NOT visible at all in my Apple mail program. This does not occur in plain text. I recently switched to sending in UTF-8 format - could this be the issue and if so what is the best solution.
I am interested in feedback on the best way to efficiently communicate with PC users using mail and what the appropriate configurations to do so would be. I really don't want to have to switch from Apple mail to use another program but when dealing with co-workers and clients who are not tolerant of these errors I must find a solution.
Thanks in advance to anyone that can help!

Welcome to Apple Support Communities. We're users here and do not speak for "Apple Inc."
Some basic printer troubleshooting steps before worrying about a printer driver:
1. Have you tried turning the printer off and back on?
2A. Is the printer attached with a cable?
     If yes, have you tried unplugging and re-plugging both ends of the printer cable?
     If that does not help, can you test the printer with another cable?
2B. If your printer is not connected to the computer with a cable, have you tried restarting your printer (assuming wireless connection)?
     Have you tried restarting your wireless router?
3. Have you tried restarting your MacBook? (Be sure to save your work first.)
4. Does the printer have ink? (Doesn't usually generate a 'communications error' though)
5. Have you updated OS X or the program you're trying to print from recently?

Hello, I have created a distribution kit for my program.The problem is that the when the program is installed onto another computer, it fails to communicate with field point (Using FP-AO-200 and FP-AO-1000). Help is greatly appreciated, Thanks faen9901

Hi Everyone,
I have a program that sends information(analog output) to lab windows cvi in the form of a text file or user input.
The program runs on the computers that I have the field point explorer and lab windows cvi installed on. In order to run the program without always installing labwindows/cvi and field point; I wanted to create an executable file that could be load on another computer.
I used the create distribution kit part of labwindows/cvi to do this.After creating the distribution kit, I then installed it
to another computer.
My user interface appears on the screen, when the user clicks on the exe. file, but no data is sent to the field point module. I know that the data is being read from the user and textfile because in it appears in the uir.
The following are some details about the problem:
1. On another computer without labwindows/cvi and field point explorer not installed - no data is sent to field point module
I know this because a current is being read on the current meter connected to field point module.
My questions are the following:
1. What are the possible reasons for the data not being sent to the field point module?
2. Do I still need to create an iak. (Installing Field point Explorer) file stored on any new computer that I install my created distribution kit file too?
Thankyou very much for any help that you can provide. I greatly appreciate it.

1) If you do not install FieldPoint Explorer, the FieldPoint Server is not installed so there is nothing on the target computer that knows how to talk to the FieldPoint system.
2) Yes, you need an IAK file on the target computer. Assuming the settings (i.e. com port#) are identical you can simply include the iak file as part of the distribution.
3) You also need to include as part of your installer the file "fplwmgr.dll". If this file is not installed, your program will not be able to access the FieldPoint Server. Alternatively, this file is installed automatically if FieldPoint Explorer detects LabWindows/CVI or Measurement Studio Development versions on the target computer or if you choose to do a custom FieldPoint Explorer installation and
choose to provide LabWindows/CVI support.

IBooks "Couldn't communicate with a helper application"

Hi,
I just did a clean install of Mavericks on my iMac and am trying to use iBooks.
I was able to do an initial open of the application. However, once I tried to import any PDFs and EPUBS, iBooks quit and I've haven't been able to restart the program. Every time I relaunch the application, it shutsdown and then I get a message that says, "Couldn't communicate with a helper application".
I've searched the forums and found a few things but all the solutions suggested talk about doing some terminal commands to reset some ACL and permissions. I tried these suggestions to no avail.
Anyone have any ideas?

I tried my luck and it actually got my iBooks working again.
When you add a PDF, it starts a process in background called "com.apple.BKAgentService". I think that this process scans your PDF, gathers some data interesting to iBooks and puts it into a local database. It is wrong for this process to run in the background because it uses lots of resources and really affects other applications (i.e. its hard to type here because my mac lags behind me typing), and iBooks do not show any signs of background activity. Because you do not get an immediate confirmation that some actions are taking place, you try to import those files again.. and again. And after some time you decide to kill iBooks app, because it became unresponsive. And this is how you break local database files
I got it working for me. I am not responsible if these actions break something for you, do it at your own risk. After deleting those files my library was still intact, it only had to be rebuilt (i.e. cover images showed up only after a few seconds when iBooks finally started).
What I did to fix this is deleting of these broken files:
1) kill/close iBooks app, if it's still open and broken
2) delete these folders:
To be specific, these folders are:
/Users/YOUR_USERNAME/Library/Containers/com.apple.iBooksX/Data/Library/Caches/co m.apple.ibooks
/Users/YOUR_USERNAME/Library/Containers/com.apple.iBooksX/Data/Library/Caches/co m.apple.iBooksX
3) start iBooks

Help! Safari can't communicate with Iphoto

Please help!
Recently, I have not been able to add photos from Safari to Iphoto9. When I attempt to do so, Safari comes up with an alert "cannot communicate with Iphoto".
How do I repair this so that Safari communicates again with Iphoto?
Please help! I need this function to work.

A good general step for strange issues is to renew the iPhoto preference file - quit iPhoto and go to "your user name" ==> library ==> preferences ==> com.apple.iPhoto.plist and trash it - launch iPhoto which creates a fresh new default preference file and reset any personal preferences you have changed and if you have moved the iPhoto library repoint to it. This may help
This does not affect your photos or any database information (keywords, faces, places, ratings, etc) in any way - they are stored in the iPhoto library - the iPhoto preference file simply controls how iPhoto works - which is why renewing it is a good first step.
If this does not help try the same with the Safari preference file

HP Photosmart 5510- Unable to Communicate with Printer Utility Check not working!!!!! HELP

I work with Windows 7 the error message I am getting is Unable to Communicate with Printer. I have never had a problem with a printer. First night worked amazing, All software is downloaded on the computer but then went to go print to day it didnt work. REBOOTED EVERYTHING, wireless router, computer and printer. Then ReConnected the printer to the router through what the Manuel says. FINALLY starts printing, waited about 30-45mins went to go print again and of course it didnt work.
I have attempted to do the Utility Check- States I am connected online both computer and printer to the router. From what I gather there is an issue with the printer- computer connection. I bought this specific Printer because it was wireless and highly recommended because HP brand, now I am wondering if this was a big mistake.
This question was solved.

Hi again;
Wish you are doing well despite this issue
Ok here is a page in the Cisco website with documentation in regards your Router check in here how to verify what is the current version of router's firmware. if needed you can find the latest version of here as well.
In how to get to the routers EWS to do this follow this steps;
To reveal Relevant TCP/IP settings include in windows this settings
•IP address
•subnet (subnet-mask)
•gateway address (also the router's or AP's IP address, which is useful for opening the router's web page
or Embedded Web Server (EWS) page.
Important communication test! Once you have obtained the gateway address, type this address into your Web browsers URL field to open your router's EWS, e.g., 192.168.0.1*. * This value will vary by router manufacturer.
Checking TCP/IP settings in most Microsoft operating systems
Step Action
1 Click on Start (Window button on your keyboard).
2 Type CMD (do not hit enter select from the menu with right click and select from the sub menu select run as
     Administrator).
  3 At the prompt, type ipconfig or "ipconfig" or "ipconfig /all" with out the quotes.
  4 Press ENTER on the keyboard, and note the values of the settings mentioned above.
Hope it helps and best of luck;

I modified the budget categories on the numbers template so now the transaction tab does not communicate with the budget tab. I figured out how to change the drop down options but how do I get it to reflect on my budget sheet? Please help.

If you are familar with the Numbers Budget Template it has two tabs 'Budget' and 'Transactions'. If you use the template as it is designed when you input expenses on the transaction tab it will automatically add that amount into the selected category on the budget tab. I have madified my budget tab to reflect the caegories that I need, which included adding several to the template. I also added to the table so it reflects my income and expenses so I can track where I am at with a glance. Since I did this, I can't get my transactions tab to communicate with the budget tab. I figured out how to change the options in the drop down box for category but I con't figure out how to get it to reflect onto my budget tab. I'm sure that it is an easy fix, however, I am just not well versed in Numbers. I appreciate your time in helping me with this issue.
Respectfully,
Jon

My guess is that while you added catetories to your Budget Sheet by adding new lines and filling in the category column, you didn't also add the formulas to these new budget lines.
The proper way to add those lines would have been to select a cell in the line just above where you want to add a line and type Option/Alt-DownArrow. This would have copied the formulas into the new line. Maybe you did this, and maybe not. You didn't give details on how you added the lines.
Select C2 and D2 and Command-C to copy them to the Clipboard.
Select all the cells of Columns C and D except for the top and bottom rows and Command-V to Paste.
If I have properly guessed the problem, you should be in business. This assumes that your Categories are exaclty the same as the entries in your Pop-up menus. Spelling counts, as does case.

Software required to communicate with the ipod is not working error, help!!

I've had my iPod nano for a while now, and it was working fine until I installed the new iTunes. Now, when I plug my nano in, iTunes won't start. Then, I open up iTunes, and it says "The software required to communicate with the iPod is not properly installed. Please re-install iTunes so you can re-install the iPod updater" or something like that. I've researched this problem, and found other things such as:
http://discussions.apple.com/click.jspa?searchID=-1&messageID=1388732
When I saw what Markinmadison told me to do, I got to the registry editor, and tried to change the permissions and tried to delete the iPodService.iPpod Manager, but it would say "Cannot delete iPodService.iPpod Manager. Error while deleting key"
I have tried everything possible, and nothing has still helped. I would really appreciate help on this one.
Thanks!

to add, as I think this could be important and ive only just realised this, after running itunes diagnostics, it tells me that itunes helper is not running (but i checked and it seems it is) and no ipod is found (although as mentioned Windows recognises the drive).
It also tell me that the most recent ipod connected was the ipod that I had before.

Help! My Mac doesn't communicate with my DV camera!

I need some help setting up my DV camera to my Mac Pro. I've done all the things that the help guide and manual tells you to, but it is still unable to communicate with the camera. I've tried changing my capture settings, capture pre-sets and my easy set-up. Please, any advice or guesses would be greatly appreciated!

If you've followed Randy's suggestions above, and you say nothing shows up on the camera's LCD when you're connected (like DV IN), then I might suspect a bad firewire cable.
Remember, the Easy Setup should be chosen first; then you should be capturing into the project with that Easy Setup. If you've chosen the DV NTSC setup, what happens when you open the log and capture window? Does it say "VTR OK" under the view window, or does it say "NO COMMUNICATION?"
If the latter, again, you may have a bad cable. If you're getting the VTR OK, then try controlling the camera with the transport controls in the log and capture window. It should work.
