IChat 4 Video problem - Please help, tried everything!

(I posted this questions to the old iChat 3 forum before I found this one, sorry for the cross-post.)
I'm using iChat 4 on 10.5 Leopard on my iMac 2.8ghz. It's behind an Airport Extreme router. I've opened ports 5190, 5220, 5222, 5223, 5298 TCP and 5060, 5190, 5297, 5298, 5353, 5678, 16384-16403 UDP and mapped to the IP of the iMac (192.168.1.100). (First question - if I have 2 Mac's behind the firewall, is there any way to use both with video chat outside the network? Can I use 192.168.1.0?) I've also turned off the Leopard firewall (Accept all incoming), and I've also tried allowing specifics and inserting iChat. I'm trying to connect to my laptop outside of the home using AIM. I can get text chat, but no video. The invites make their way through, but then iChat says the other use "has declined the invitation" even when I click Accept in AIM. I've tried going both ways, nothing works. The laptop is directly connected to the new via AT&T's HSDPA cellular modem. I've also tried the laptop behind a Linksys router in a DMZ zone; no luck. I've reached the end of my rope - I have absolutely no idea how to proceed to get this to work, and I've just gotten frustrated with it. After opening all the ports, I just don't get why it doesn't work. I'm traveling this week, but when I get home I will try plugging the iMac directly into the BellSouth/AT&T DSL modem (Westell Wirespeed - IP passthrough mode right now). I've tried on the iMac using canyouseeme.org to check out open ports, and 5060, 5190, and 5678 show "No Route to Host" and 16402 shows "Connection Timed Out."
Can anyone help me out? Thanks in advance.

Russa,
You have remembered to change the Login port to 443 since upgrading ? (for your ZyXel)
iChat does UPnP.
If you run /Applications/iChat.app/Contents/MacOS/iChat -errorLogLevel 7 in Terminal you will see it listed.

Updated feed problem, PLEASE help, tried everything....

Ive seen this same issue here in forums with no solution:
Service Provider hosting my old feed was going down in a month...
I placed the correct update tag in my feed to point to the new feed....
1 month went by, the server went down...
my new feed is valid at feedvalidator.org...
http://www.lmsound.com/649/podcasts/649filmsPodcast.xml
i have also set it up at:
feed://feeds.feedburner.com/649films
In iTunes podcasts, you can find me, however it is still pointing to the old address....
ANY help would ever so sincerely be appreciated... I have tried everything i can think of... I was concerned about loosing my subscribers, and now i am totally lost here....
Message was edited by: 649films
wanted to list the feedburner address as well

odd...I just pinged your feed using the FEEDID and got a "Podcast ping recieved" that shows your old URL.
https://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZFinance.woa/wa/pingPodcast?id=121942193
This is your podcast right?
http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=121942193
Possibility again that if iTunes didn't grab the feed with the <Itunes:new-feed-url> tag, it never updated its database.
It's tricky with your existing subscribers. Theoretically, if they subscribed before the old server went down, they should have received a copy of the new XML which would include the new feed url and their iTunes client would have updated itself to point to the new feed...granted they started up iTunes before the old server went down.
If they subscribed after the server went down, (i.e today), they won't get any episodes (it's still pointing to the old server).
You only have really two options to fix iTunes to point at the correct URL:
1) See if you can get access to the old server again at the old URL, put a copy of your new feed there which includes the <itunes:new-feed-url> tag. Then ping iTunes...sit back and wait until you can verify that iTunes changed the url it has in its database to the new one. You can subscribe to the feed and check the "show description" or continue to ping iTunes until it shows the correct URL in the "podcast ping received" results.
2) Remove the podcast and re-submit. Click the "report a concern" button for your feed in iTunes and choose the option to remove the podcast. Then re-submit.
Itunes provides no real way of knowing how many subscribers you have nor does it keep a list of subscribers. They are just playing matchmaker...just providing a list of podcasts and allowing people to subscribe to the URL you have listed. Once they have subscribed, they don't go back to the iTunes directory...they go straight to your URL.
Some podcast services like "Feedburner" can keep track of metrics and can give you data on subscribers and episodes downloaded.

Adobe Photoshop CS3 Will Not Install PLEASE HELP TRIED EVERYTHING

I downloaded from Adobe the Photoshop CS3 Extended Trial directly from Adobe. (BTW I am on Vista 32)
The first time I tried installing, ADBEPHSPCS3_WWE.exe successfully unpacked, I successfully transitioned to the Adobe Photoshop CS3 installation, and it appeared to install. After 30 minutes or so, the installer finished and simply said that shared components had installed but the Photoshop CS3 Component install failed.
I always got in the log Error 1935.An error occurred during the installation of assembly 'Microsoft.VC80.MFCLOC,version="8.0.50727.163",type="win32",publicKeyToken="1fc8b3b9a1e18 e3b",processorArchitecture="x86"'. Please refer to Help and Support for more information
This, I know, is everyones typical problem.
I turned off firewall and antivirus.
I uninstalled ALL Adobe and Macromedia programs, including Flash and Acrobat.
I used Windows Install Cleanup Utility to remove them.
I downloaded the CS3 Clear from Adobe and cleared at levels 1, 2, and 3.
I created the Administrator account on my computer and tried everything on the Administrator account.
I tried installing Photoshop CS3 with compatibility mode for XP SP2.
I tried:
1. Open an Administrator command prompt by right clicking on Start -> All
Programs -> Accessories -> Command Prompt and selecting "Run as
Administrator" and clicking "Allow" for the elevation prompt
2. In the command prompt, type the command below
fsutil resource setautoreset true C:\
3. Reboot the machine
I tried:
Get command prompt up. It has to be run with admin rights so save yourself some time and run it this way.........Start/programs/accessories/.....right click command prompt and click run as administrator.
Then paste these commands in 1 after the other
regsvr32 vbscript.dll (THEN PRESS ENTER)
and
regsvr32 jscript.dll (AGAIN PRESS ENTER)
I even tried installing in Safe Mode but the CS3 setup would not initialize.
I do not know what else to do. I have CS2 which I will use, but I was really hoping to move to CS3 which is supposed to be better and faster. Does anyone know anything else to do? I am not a computer noob but I am not about to reinstall Vista. If anyone has any suggestions they would be greatly appreciated.

I was in the same predicament and after spend many hours over several days trying a multitude of things I finally found an easy fix (below):
========================================
Assuming you have Internet Explorer 7 go to:
Tools/Internet option/Advanced
Click the Reset dialog box. This will bring IE7 back to its default settings. You should reboot your computer. After logging back into Windows load IE and let it take you though its initial setup. When you are done close IE and install Photoshop.. This worked for me,,, hopefully it will work for you!

Itunes Video Problems Please Help

All of my videos imported onto itunes, except for one I just recently download. It is the same mpeg4 format as all the others, and there is no reason I can think of that it will not import. Can anyone please help me?, as I would really like to have this file on my ipod.
Thank you very much!

Your video you purchased from ITunes plays correctly because it was properly produced to work on the IPOD. As to your other questions:
"the latest being the superipod convertoror something like that."

User did Not respond issues!! Please help, tried everything...

Hi,
I'm having some problems with the whole Audio/Video chat option on Ichat. I'm trying to connect to my girlfriend who also is running on Mac. When we try to connect, it says, "USER NAME, did not respond".
I've read almost every post on this thing, and seems that the solutions either don't work, or are specific to router/modem setups.
Now, just as a test to ensure it is from my end, I got my mom... who has an new Intel Imac to connect to my girlfriend, and their video sessions worked fine... so something is wrong with my end for sure.
I have 2 macs, an Imac and a Macbook pro, and they both experience the same problems, they are running on an Airport Extreme, and our service is through Bell Sympatico, which is a DSL service. I am using a Speed Stream 5200 modem.
Now both computers are running wirelessly, and I've tried different things like only having one computer connected... hardwiring the computer and even connecting one of the computers directly to the modem... all configurations didn't work. I've also turned off any firewall settings, and unchecked the Distribute IP address option in my airport.
Personally I believe there is an issue with my ISP or modem, and not sure where to go from here.
Please if you have any solutions get back to me through this, or through IChat directly my user name is: [email protected]
Thanks so much
Kosta

Dear Stakis,
You are very welcome. As you might have noticed this discussionforum has been redisigned with profound and intelligent architectural troubleshooting design. I'm sure you will find an answer because all problems are directed towards narrowing down the possible problem and direct you forward to your best way to address your configuration in a way that has the biggest change of successfuley solving your problem. Some peers have been thinking in a very analitical way and almost build a verbal software support applet
Regarding your trouble. You ran your Ichat behind a router and used the book Pro to host the iChat traffic. I think you should use the iMac to have the router pointforward to as first terminal to regulate iChat traffic. You can use bonjour to have your bookpro chat with the outside world as a network computer using the imac as ichat traffic controller. I noticed you run games on your bookpro . The output you pasted in your reply indicates that your Probook will get in trouble since the code for Xvid is meant for your iMac and your probook needs the universal version.
QuickTime/XviD_Codec-r58 (ppc).component/Contents/MacOS/XviD.
IT should be: QuickTime/XviD_Codec-r58 (intel).component/Contents/MacOS/XviD. (not available yet but comming very soon)
This might cause trouble that destabilises your computer set up and indicates the iMac is the one that is first in line to iChat and your pro is not able.
Any way you might wonder, what is all this and why this hassle? Basicaly it is something that happened years ago when OSX 10.3.9 was updated to xcode and a simple routine was replaeced by a newer and importand for future addressing compatibility of account/password/id in the future. Apple changed its policy of two account/password/id per user into one. Remember the two different passwords long ago? Well a smart move but badly implented because a lot of developers had the old routine implemented in their personal lybraries and toolkits and did not take notice to replace the old string by the new one wich was paramount to x10.4 account/pas/id addressing. This problem first came to light in mail, there were very strange and inconsistent account and ip malfunctions which where unexplainable at the time. IT took an enormous effort to get a work arround this problem. Especially since it was not analised to the bit. Anyway, this is the cause of suddendeath of iChat inititiation a/v functionality and the did not respond issue. The information to make the connection is inconsistend to the hard/software of the wireless functionality. AIM is also to blame. They chose the easy way out and get the bill now.
There are some more (not so relevant) issues as time will solve them (quicktime codec h264).
So please read the new discussionboard trouble shooting pages and i am pretty sure you'll be iChatting (2 way only for now) withing no time thanks to the men who had the patience to allow Apple some time for a fix and kept peers iChatting all over the world with almost individual counseling.

Video problem please help!

i installed itunes a month ago and since then i could only watch videos in the quick time and only in the ipod format.
today i deleted itunes and quick time but i still cant watch videos!
i also install my codec file (k-lite) and it did not work...
all i see is a black screen...
what sould i do?

Do you get sound and is the screen black all the time? What is your CPU utilisation like when playing video. If it dosen't budge when you play a video then I don't know what the problem is. But if it goes up and increases dramatically you could be experiencing a problem with directx. I suggest you try turning it off and see whether you can play a video then.
To do this go to *_Start > Control Panel > Quicktime > Advanced (Tab)._*
Under video deselect "Enable Direct 3D video acceleration" apply the changes and restart iTunes. If the video does not work still you my want to turn of directx entirely. Do what you did before but this time select "Safe Mode (GDI Only)".
This fix generally works for jerky or stopping video and I thought that if your computer is old or slow enough then your video may not even begin to play.
Sorry if this doesn't help and if so make sure to revert all the DirectX changes.

Hi,
Welcome to Apple Discussions
What are you using to create the video? You might want to look at QuickTime - Creating Video for iPod, Exporting iMovie HD to iPod, and Syncing Videos to Your iPod.

Ichat receiving pics problem please help. ichat 5.0.3

I can send pictures on ichat but when someone sends me a picture i cant view them it just shows up as a bubble and turns small. whats wrong? how can i fix it? It used to work but now all i get is a square like if the image attemots to load then it turns into a small text bubble which is blank.

Hi,
EDIT.
I saw as I posted this that you have included the Gmail on Jabber tag.
Apple tells us that Jabber user either port 5223 or port 5222 depending if the server needs us to use SSL. iChat is also supposed to use Port 5220 although I have found no evidence that it does. (there is some evidence it uses port 1080 which would need to be opened in any router)
Other than that the Info below about ports needing to be opened/allowed or the Mac Firewall to allow iChat still apply as does ther Direct IM info.
I take it this is with an account/Screen name that logs in to the AIM service ?
iChat uses port 5190 on the TCP Protocol to do the Login.
It uses the same Port but switches to the UDP protocol for File Sending and Receiving.
The Pic-in-Chat is essentially a file being sent.
The Chat should have a little grey text message in the centre (left to right) that says the chat has changed to a Direct IM
You can also send files by dropping them directly on to a Buddy in the Buddy list (Even without a chat being Open) Files sent whilst a chat is open will have a link type symbol and you have to agree to Accept. (or your Buddy does).
The Mac Firewall will let out going connections to be made. It is the incoming ones that it may not allow.
Generally speaking it will allow return stuff if the same port/protocol is being used.
In Tiger in System Preferences > Sharing > Firewall (That's where it was then) the Advanced Button gave you an option to Block UDP traffic)
This does not apply to Leopard or Snow Leopard (even though the Firewall moved to System Preferences > Security).
Your router will also act like a hardware firewall if port above the 1024 threshold are not opened for apps that use them.
If you set Port Forwarding in some routers you had to list an IP (Computer) they were pointed to.
If it is also using DHCP to Issue IP addresses to computers then you may find the computer has a new IP and the Port Forwarding is no longer pointing to it.
Again, outgoing things tend to be allowed.
UPnP is a simpler Enable/Disable setting if you have it on your router.
As it also works with multiple Computers (Different IPs) it does not matter if your computer changes IP or not.
So...
This issue may appear intermittent depending who is sending the first file and the set up of the Mac Firewall or the router.
Most likely it is a router issue about which port are opened for iChat and on what Protocols if they need to be stated.
As you mention it used to work then Port Forwarding seems to be the most likely cause.

Ahm well you need to delet any information or just plug in your iphone into an other computer. important is that your iphone never has been pluged in this computer before. This was what i did, and it worked!

Hey, i have an iphone 4, and it is upto date, the problem is that my phone does not play any videos online except on facebook, all other videos do not play instead a crossed play sign appears on the video. Please help.

I watch YouTube videos on a regular basis - mostly with the YouTube app but also with Safari.
Some YouTube videos are supported to be viewed on a computer only or with a Flash capable device, which is becoming few and far between since Adobe no longer supports Flash on any mobile platform.
Sometimes I get this video cannot be played on this platform, but rarely.

P6N Lots of problems please help

P6N Lots of problems please help
The setup is the following:
P4 D935 3.2gHz
P6N Diamond MS-7320 Bios 1.3V
Corsair XMS2-6400C4DHX
NX8600GT-TD512EZ/D2
Seagate Barracuda 7200 250Gb SataII 16Mb
Akasa 460W Dual Rail
Please help I have lots and lots of problems with lockups that can happen any time post , bios , loading vista and sometimes during OS. Some times will work ok play games etc. Already tried different combinations fitting the mem modules even tried and some pc4200 modules same problems. Spent lots of hours clocking the mems with different settings but non is stable. I am not interested in overcloking just to make it stable to start with. When is actually running is fine is more than enough for me. Already looked to lots of posts on the msi forum but… Since the cpu is old can I go back on an older bios version???? The Corsair modules have to run at 2.1V or is it possible to use them with slower setting. So confused so lost ….. please HELLPPPPP
Any help greatly appreciated.

please, don't buy any more unneded parts. first find the problem then buy if no solutions available.
One thing I find with BIOS issues is to do a full clear.
1. disconnect the power cord from the power supply(turn switch to off if there is one.
2. hit the power switch to clear the power out of the system.
3. set the cmos jumper to clear and leave there if one is available.
4. Pull the battery.
5. carefully short out the battery connector on the motherboard to drain any power left.
6. press the clear cmos button and hold for 30sec minimum, if you didn't have a jumper to set.
7. replace battery, move jumper back, plug in power cord, turn on power sipply switch.
Now it should hopefully power up. go into BIOS and load optimized results. hit save and exit and when it gets back to the post screen, go back into bios and set your normal MB settings(ie. set boot devices, boot order, disable sound if using sound card, etc...)
go into your H/W Monitor section and list the CPU Vcore settings to make sure it is getting the power it needs. I just looked it up and it's suppose to run from 1.225v - 1.325v.
also, try your most generic ram you have with auto settings. the faster the ram usually the more volts they need and default volts are 1.8v for ram and sometimes faster chips have issues with lower volts.
Let me know how this works for you.
-=Mark=-
ps. make sure everything is unplugged from the computer you don't need. just cpu, 1 stick of ram, and video. and of course keyboad and mouse. Please make a signature with all your systems specs including make and model numbers. I hate guessing at solutions and I'd hate to see you buy any more unneccessary parts because of lack of information.

X-Fi Fatal1ty Plat1num Champion Ed. problem, please help!

9X-Fi Fatalty Platnum Champion Ed. problem, please help!? Hi there everyone,
So i have a X-Fi Fatalty Platnum Champion Ed. and a computer with Windows 7.
I've searched the web and i found many people saying that the card it's working and perfectly compatible so i would like to exclude this option as far as the problems that i'm having.
So, right out of the box i've placed the front panel in with the ribbon cable and the power connected to it, then i connected the other end of the ribbon cable and finally placed the card in one of the PCI slots i have free.
Now, when i start my PC, i don't hear any particolar "beep messages" but nothing will come on the screen, in few words my PC will not boot at all. I can hear the HDD spinning, everything sounds normal except for that "little" problem.
So, i re-did all the connections thinking that maybe i did something wrong, but following the instruction i did exactly as told. So i tried again to power up the computer and i've noticed that the X-Fi logo is lit up (red light) and.. I don't really know if that means something or it's just something aside that doesn't really matter.. But, what is it's The PCI card is broken or there's something else?
I did try to disable the sound card (integrated mobo sound) from the BIOS but that didn't change anything. I did try all the software options but this looks like more of an hardware problem (please correct me if i'm wrong and/or i've missed something).
There's something that popped up in my mind.. the PSU. I noticed that i have a 300W PSU (mm.. low, isn't it's)?and i was wondering if that's enough or i need a more powerful one.. and if that's may be the case for the PCI to not work at all causing all i've already explained above. I mean.. It seems like i've installed a dead peripheral and that's impeding the computer to start up..
I don't know.. I need clarification and help, PLEASE.
Thank you very much in advance!

Look at the beta thread sticked above but good luck waiting for a new driver. That beta driver has been there since January and although better than the normal driver it is still crap.
All the boot type issues are with the SSD but if you getting in game crashes etc... under windows 8 that is simply that the driver stinks.
