I chat problem since Leopard upgrade.

I recently upgraded to Leopard, now i chat has an issue. When I click on a buddy, a window opens with my icon and a bubble, however when I type and hit return I see nothing. In addition when my buddy responds I see his/hers icon and bubble briefly then it disappears with no text.

I've been having this same problem since I upgraded to Leopard. Also my buddy list is grey and displays all my contacts online or not. The privacy features also are not accessible and say that I can't change them because I am not logged in, but I am logged in according to the main screen. I am behind a netgear router most of the time and connect wirelessly to an airport express. My provider is Comcast. I have changed the port to 443, tried the fix listed here, tried to fix it using onyx, and I'm sure more. At this point I am using Adium because I can't get iChat to work. I want to use iChat as I really like the new features and it was one of the reasons I upgraded to Leopard in the first place.

IDvd 06 Keeps crashing since Leopard upgrade

I upgraded my MacBook Pro to leopard back In November, since then, every time I use iDvd 06 It crashes on stage 2, I Installed the 6.0.4 update but still It crashes! It seems this Is quite a common problem since Leopard, Any bright Ideas gratefully received!!

I remember reading that post and I believe the only recommendation was to make sure that the user had the necessary available HD space for working with apps like iDvd. Plus I think the point you made was good in that it would be unlikely these same users have to date filled up their main HD to the point of slowing iDvd. Most these units are but a few months old (if not newer).
Truth is there is no overall solution yet nor a direct answer or solution to this issue (short of software updates in some cases) yet even on these newer models that should run iLife'08 apps flawlessly. iDvd seems to be the major issue while the other apps remain unaffected in the majority of cases.
And like you Fred, I'm starting to suspect the graphics card in a number of these laptops but as of yet I have no direct evidence that this is the case nor if this will resolve most of the issues here. Doesn't hurt to document what has or has not worked to date which I am attempting to do on the following thread even tho it has been marked as solved. The solution posted here may work for some but not all:

Problems with browsing on Safari and Firefox since Leopard upgrade ??

Ever since I upgraded to Leopard, I am experiencing consistent problems while browsing. Both Firefox and Safari stall when I click on links or try to load pages. The browsers just appears dead and the loading icons just stall. Firefox is much worse than Safari with every 3rd or 4th click causing a stall. I have to wait about a minute before the click is recognized and the page is loaded.
I thought it might be my airport connect but I have other Windows comps on the same network and they don't have the problem.
I haven't seen any thread in the Safari discussions about this and can't find anything on the net about it either.
Anyone know what the problem might be?
Safari 3.1.1
Firefox 2.0.0.14
Leaopard 10.5.2

There were no error messages in the console for the stalling. However after I plugged the ethernet cable into the Imac, the problem seems to have gone away.
This is good but how can I fix the problem with my airport wireless connection ?

(Slow Network): iSight camera not working in iChat since Leopard upgrade

I have a different type of iChat video issue. My Power Mac G4, 867 MHz, 1 GB DRAM is a supported Mac for the Leopard upgrade. I've successfully installed OS 10.5.
Also my Power Mac meets the iChat Conferencing Requirements for 1-on-1 Video Chat per the OS 10.5 system requirements and the application note here:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301050
My iSight camera is connected via Firewire to an Apple Cinema Display, which feeds back to the Power Mac G4.
1) When I boot from my 10.3.9 Carbon Copy Cloner backup my iSight works in iChat (at least locally to see myself) without any issue. Green light comes on and shows me locally on video and audio sound bars. Before the OS upgrade the iSight worked fine for live video conferences with iChat 2.1.3 under Mac OS 10.3.9
2) Running OS 10.5 when I go to iChat 4.0's preferences video pane the following message is waiting "This computer does not support video conferencing."
3) With Leopard iChat 4.0 the Connector Doctor under "capabilities" says "(Slow Network)" for 1-on-1 Video Chat and won't even show video locally or turn on the iSight's green light.

Fixed!
My Power Mac Quicksilver G4, 867 MHz. problem with (Slow Network) in the iChat Connection Doctor, no video preview or video iChat since upgrading to OS 10.5 Leopard and iChat 4.0 has been solved with the following posted towards the end of the thread below. I can finally see my video preview with iChat 4.0 and have also video chatted successfully with one other user.

IPod no longer mounts since Leopard upgrade

My iPod no longer mounts since I upgraded to Leopard. I'm using a USB 2 port that's part of a third party PCI card I installed myself. Used to work fine before the Mac OS upgrade.
If I reboot with the iPod already plugged in, it mounts.
Help?

Forgot to mention that I had tried those:
Authorize your purchases from an administrator account
-> Yep, I'm the admin
Authorize using the correct account name
-> Nothing changed- I am only authorizing my devices, and only use my account on the machine. Definitely using the right account name.
Turn Off User Account Controls (Windows Vista and Windows 7 Only)
-> Did this a long, long time ago, so definitely not the issue.
Remove the SC Info folder
-> This was the only new thing that I had seen yesterday when I tried it, and went through these steps, to no avail. Still exactly the same problem. I closed iTunes, deleted the folder, rebooted and relaunched iTunes and synced the device. Same thing.
The problem is the computer IS authorized, and I can sync one device, but not the other. No problem with iPhone 4- just iPod Touch, 3rd gen. It seems to be in a weird state.
One thing would lead me to believe it's a PC/iTunes problem, but then it is only with one device and not the other. Hard to point to the root of the problem. I just don't want to lose the data on the iPod- I've done a lot of work on it.
Thanks,
Jeff

Problems after Leopard upgrade with ATI 9800 Pro 256MB

I don't know if this is related.. but I've been battling multiple problems ever since I upgraded my G5 to Leopard a week ago. Everything was perfect under Tiger.
The problem that only occurred directly after upgrading to Leopard... is that my graphics now get corrupted and garbled. I've got two video cards running two LCD monitors. The card giving me problems is the ATI Radeon 9800 Pro (256MB). What happens is.. first all the window shadows and top menu bar start getting checkerboard patterns.. then the whole screen starts getting variants of different colors and checkerboard patterns. After awhile and refreshing the screen a few times... the problem goes away for a bit. Then comes back.
Again, this card and my entire system and drives were working fine under Tiger. Now, I don't know if I have a bad card? Is there something wrong with Leopard on my G5 2Ghz DP? Did my Maxtor 750GB triple interface drive just go bad with the upgrade?
I don't know where else to look, I'm guessing the "geniuses" at the Apple store won't help me since this machine is out of warranty. Any help would be HUGELY appreciated. I've been battling all these problems ever since I started the Leopard upgrade 4 days ago and have not got much sleep.

I've already reset PRAM with the option,command,P,R keys... letting it chime a couple times... and have already done this many times over the last few days. Doesn't seem to help. I don't know how to reset NVRAM via open firmware and the instructions are vague. But, supposedly a PRAM reset is all you have to do.
If it is a heat problem, why would it only have presented itself directly after a Leopard upgrade? It also does it when I boot off the Leopard disk. Actually does it worse. I'd just get a new card if I wasn't suspicious about the Leopard upgrade... not convinced it's a hardware problem yet. Though the card is mounted on the bottom slot above the CPUs. It has a fan on top that appears to be working but it doesn't look like much clearance between the card and the top of the CPUs case.
I could move it up a slot to give it more air... but it still doesn't explain why until last Monday, it worked fine under Tiger.

I'd open a live chat and see if I could get them for free personally, but they are also very cheap at www.amazon.com
They are HD cables that support upto 1080p
GEEZ, I can't be the only person having this issue. I will try 1 call to them to see what they say. Thanks for your input.

Keychain problems since Leopard?

I never saw the term 'keychain' or knew of its existence until upgrading to Leopard. Since the upgrade, various downloads or upgrades of other softwares have found issues with the 'keychain'. Issues such as: keychain can't be found, cannot store to keychain, do you want to restore to defaults, and others.
I recently upgraded to MS Office 2008 for Student & Home, and the 'keychain' reference came into play when I tried to register the product.
I really don't understand the term 'keychain', and since upgrading to Leopard I have had more references to the 'keychain' term. Where is the 'keychain' used, what is it exactly, and how can I repair it or at least make it work properly?

Hi 1parkpointer;
Keychain remembers passwords for you.
I would suggest that you repair permissions first. If that doesn't correct the problem with Keychain, I would suggest that you repair opening Keychain Access from Utilities. Then open Keychain First Aid under the Keychain Access menu. This will open a pane where you have to give admin user name and password then click Repair.

Odd Problems After Leopard Upgrade

I upgraded to Leopard a couple of weeks ago. All seemed fine until I began to notice a few odd things.....
1. Disk Permissions - If I select 'Verify/Repair Permissions' the disk utility began with the blue hatched bar and just stayed like that. I upgraded to 10.5.1 and now it progresses to the solid blue progress bar and says 'one minute remaining' but it makes no further progress. Same happens if I select 'Verify Disk'
2. No volume icon in the menu bar. It was there after the upgrade to 10.5 but yesterday I pressed the 'mute' button and the volume icon disappeared - it's been missing ever since and now I'v no volume.
3. MS Office 2002. I can see MS Office files - I can even preview them, but if I attempt to open them nothing happens. If I attempt to open the relevant MS app the icon just bounces once in the dock and then nothing.
It's worth noting that there are two users on my PB (both have admin status) but problem 3 only occurs in my user profile.
The other user is my wife and she's not the sort to mess with the computer - she just uses it.
can anyone shed any light on this as I'm seriously (and reluctantly) considering downgrading to Tiger.
Thanks in advance,
Seán.

Yo dude!
I think it's time to boot from the start-up dvd, run disk utility repair (always before an upgrade!), re-install (keep previous install just in case), restart, run all updates. Maybe if you have old software, it's time to un-install them and re-stall one by one until something untoward happens. I've been using Leopard on three macs without hitches.. I find it very stable. Current version is 10.5.2, quite soon since last update, so they're (apple) obviously fixing a few things. The only problem I had after upgrading to Leopard was some apps wouldn't hide (command-H) even from the menu, but sorted that by re-installing them after the leopard upgrade,.... hunky dory now.
Don't panic, there is always something silly causing bad **** to happen, 95% of the time it's software..
See you on Wednesday dude...... I'll bring up those disks I borrowed from you.....

Multiple Problems after Leopard upgrade HELP! Video display and FW problem

I don't know if this is related.. but I've been battling multiple problems ever since I upgraded my G5 to Leopard a week ago. Everything was perfect under Tiger.
Well, I think I've got everything solved except two last things.
1. My 750GH Maxtor Firewire drive... when I plug it in... does not show in the desktop and it causes both my internal drive and two other Firewire enclosures to disappear from the desktop. I can see all of them mounted in the disk utility, but if this one drive is plugged in.. all icons disappear from the desktop. If I unplug or unmount the 750GB drive.. everything comes back.
I've reformatted this drive, etc. This does not happen on my MacBookPro. The drive mounts fine on that. I've tried different cables, I've tried USB (it's a triple interface Maxtor) and nothing seems to work. I would assume there's something wrong with the drive and not my desktop... but the drive works fine on the MacBookPro.
PLEASE!! Any clues would help...
The other problem that only occurred directly after upgrading to Leopard... is that my graphics now get corrupted and garbled. I've got two video cards running two LCD monitors. The card giving me problems is the ATI Radeon 9800 Pro (256MB). What happens is.. first all the window shadows and top menu bar start getting checkerboard patterns.. then the whole screen starts getting variants of different colors and checkerboard patterns. After awhile and refreshing the screen a few times... the problem goes away for a bit. Then comes back.

The drives not or disappearing on the desktop could point to the need to do a pram reset.
I believe you hold down the apple-option-p-r keys at startup and listen for a couple of chimes.

Phone won't send pictures since Leopard upgrade

I have a Nokia 6682 smartphone. I use the bluetooth mainly to send pictures I take w/ the phone to my Macbook.
However, ever since I upgraded to Leopard, the phone won't successfully connect. I have tried re-configuring the device pairing among other random things. Still no luck.
Any suggestions? Anyone having a similar problem with a bluetooth device and Leopard?

Answered here: cannot receive via bluetooth

Glitches since Leopard Upgrade.

Ever since I upgraded to Leopard
- numbers window sometimes garbles and becomes unreadable.
- pages mini page views are garbled and unreadable
- keynote mini slide view is unreadable and sometime whole screen garbles when playing presentation
I use latest version of IWork and have deleted everything and reinstalled.
Same problem keeps occuring... how to improve on this,
I tried searching in these groups but could not find a solution...what is going on?
more importantly, how to fix it>?

Hello
May you check that there are no third party products installed.
I assumes that you have already used Disk Utility to repair permissions.
It seems that some haxies may have odd effects.
If you met oddities only with iWork products, we may assume that the problem is in one of the preferences files related to these applications.
They are:
<bootVolume>:Users:<yourAccount>:Library:Preferences:com.apple.iWork.Keynote.pli st
<bootVolume>:Users:<yourAccount>:Library:Preferences:com.apple.iWork.Numbers.pli st
<bootVolume>:Users:<yourAccount>:Library:Preferences:com.apple.iWork.Pages.plist
Try to disable them [move them into a subfolder (mine is named "on_Strike")]
Relaunching the apps will build clean prefs.

HP 8750 Printer missing since Leopard upgrade on home wireless network

My HP 8750gp is connected (ethernet not USB) to my BT Voyager 2100 wireless router and worked fine under Tiger. Since the upgrade to Leopard, it does not appear as an available printer. Tried re-installing drivers from Leopard DVD, HP installation cd and HP website but still does not appear. I saw a related topic which suggested you need to be logged in with Admin privaleges to add a printer, however on my iMac I am the only account and so am always logged in as Admin. The printer has also dissapeared from my MacMini which has also been upgraded. Since re-installing drivers, HP Printer Setup loads at start up each time but cannot find the printer.
I am assuming this to be a Leopard issue (as that was the change), but could equally be a router or printer issue I guess.
Any ideas?
Regards,
Andy

For whatever reason, my printer has just started working - one moment it was not listed, the next it was. I have no idea how this miracle happened, it just did.

Lost Connections have recently become a problem since I upgraded

My sister and I call each other frequently from the same general location, and recently (since I upgraded) we drop connection seconds after the call starts). I believe there may be a problem with the phone part of the new software. Everything else is working well. I do wish it would work better as a phone. I mean that is what I bought it for.
The problem seems to happen when she calls using her old version of the software, to me running the new version. When I try to call back, it goes right into voicemail.

To be honest these are the solutions that may or may not work.
First thing I would try is rebooting the phone by holding the sleep/wake button and home button for 15 seconds until you see the white apple logo.
If that doesn't work I would restore from backup. If that doesn't work I would restore as new. If all else fails take it to your closest apple store they may replace the phone for a working one..
