IChat AV mulit user Video Icon not coming up can't do multi video

Help.
I am trying to use the Multi video conference feature on iChat AV on different G5 dual processor machines but the multi video icon does not appear. My final goal is to host with the machine I am listed here and allow the other users to use theie G4 Power books.
I have tried using Jabber, .Mac, and AIM accounts but none have given me the icon and/or allowed me to set up a multi video conference chat. I am also using all iSight cameras so the environment is pure Apple as it should be.
Any help or show me to a discussion board?

Hi Ralph,
Good that your tables/annoucements begin to look quite good!
About "the Cron scripts in the early hours",
please have a read of this Tiger-updated info:
you still need to run the "cron scripts" manually, once or twice a month is plenty, but there is an enhancement since 10.4.2 that allows to sleep at night, and meant to have the tasks automatically run. Not yet fully reliable though.
Details and a simple example:

User-defined partners not coming in the extraction

Hi, the client where I'm working in has a user-defined partner in the Sales Documents, called Final User. This partner has the value ZA in the PARVW field in the VBPA table. We need to take the value of VBPA-KUNNR when its PARVW has value ZA, but we can't right now, because when the user modifies this field only (yes, only this field and nothing else) in VA02, it appears in the change log of the document, but it does not in the Delta Cockpit of the 2LIS_11_VAHDR.
I read notes 12682 and 520879 and I appended a field called PFINUSR to the MCPARTUSR calling the appending structure ZAMCPARTUS. I also added the following code to the RMCSUZ11 and RMCSUZ10 includes:
WHEN 'ZA'. MOVE UPE_VBPA-KUNNR TO UPE_PARTNER-PFINUSR.
I also modified the programs as described in the notes.
But when I go to LBWE and try to add the field to the extraction structure of 2LIS_11_VAHDR my field PFINUSR does not show in the right list. Am I missing something? Can anybody help me?

The problem is that the notes are missing to lines. Two more tables need to be modified.

Hi Raja,
Prior to trying Gordons option of unmarking and remarking them i would suggest you do a little more investigation as this can potentially change the field names in XL report and if you have any reports using them they may stop working (it can add a post fix of _1).
Firstly, what are the fields set as in the User Defined Fields window in XL reporter? Light Dimensions, Dimension Attribute or Measure? If its a Dimension Attribute for example on the Business Partner UDF, it will not be visible in the tab section but should be shown if you drag and drop the Business Partner dimension in the report, then right click and choose display more attributes (dimension attribute UDFs will be in this list). Light Dimensions and Measures should appear in the tabs.
If they are set as a light dimension or measure and are not in the tab section, has this only just started happening or have they never been visible? If its just started happening, having you recently upgraded to a new patch? If so, in future you need to run a script on the Company and Common database prior to the patch upgrade. If you did not run these scripts you will need to do Gordons solution but as I say, if any reports have UDFs in these may not work after and you will have to manually edit them.

Adrian

OD User home icon not connected in finder?

I Have a user that can login to his OD just fine, all docs etc are there, BUT if he clicks on his home (house) icon in the finder is is misted out and states : exampleuser's account cannot be found" but if he clicks on documents in finder it all connects fine? I need to get into his user library folder as some apps need their prefs trashed, any ideas??

If your Time Capsule is set to be accessed with a password, click on the "Connect..." button under where it said "Connection failed." Enter the password and be sure to click on the "Remember this password" checkbox. This won't mount the TC on your Desktop but it will be connected and should say "Connected as <your user name>". Your backups should start working. If you want to mount the TC, click on its hard drive icon in the same Finder window and it should show up on the Desktop. Whenever you logout/login or restart your Mac, make sure the TC stays connected.
Hope this helps.

Ipod icon not coming up

i just bought a ipod classic and just subscribed and downloaded itunes,
i downloaded all my cds to itunes but when i plug my ipod into the computer
nothing appears on the itune (i guess a ipod icon should appear so that
i can transfer all my music to my ipod) hellllllllp

I think Im having a similar problem with my second ipod classic 80Gb.
Initially I had trouble getting the first ipod to be recognized by my PC but eventually it recognised it, I named the ipod and had no more problems from then on. But I had no idea what I did to make it work.
When I connect the second ipod it says it is connected on the ipod and the PC recognises it as a device that is working properly with the right driver but it wont show in My computer as a drive and I cant get tot he "Getting Started" stage to name the ipod. I have tried numerous things including reinstalling itunes, reloading the driver, disconnecting all other usb accesories ect.
Can someone please Help??

App store icon not working--how can I download app store...tried the process as described on the Mac page...didn't find the update or download.

My app store icon is not working. Went to Mac page of Apple store to find a new download for it and the process didn't work. No new downloads found.
Any ideas ?

Hi James...
The only way to reinstall the App Store is by downloadiing and installing the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo
Restart your Mac after the update is installed. It's ok to do this even though you are already running v10.6.8.

In addition to this, we also put the trace on the application. During the trace analysis we found that the RFC: HRXSS_CAT_WD_F4_SELFLD_DEFAULT doesn't seem to get called.

Ready button not coming in IC Web Client

Hi All,
In CRM IC webclient i am getting all the toolbar button like accept,reject ...relating to telephony but no mode like Ready and not ready is not coming in ,Can anybody pls suggest....
Thanks..
Raj

Hello Raj,
In order to get the workmode buttons the configuration for the
communication software profile has to be completed.
The IC profile DEFAULT does not contain an entry for the CMS
profile. The CMS profile itself is maintained in transaction
, which can be found in the WebClient customizing
within the node 'Communication Channels'.
In addition further communication management software settings might
have to be maintained. Please follow in the Easy Access Menu the path
'Interaction Center' - 'Interaction Center WebClient' -
'Administration ' - 'Communication Management Software' and adjust
these settings.
Hopefully this helps!
Best regards, Gerhard

Ichat camera icon not showing

under one user name the camera icon/video does not show on other computers. It works fine under other users name. Settings are set to allow video.

Hi,
Can I check ?
Do you mean this computer has Two Mac User Accounts and in one iChat does not Display Video Capabilities ?
Or do you mean that you have Two Screen Names and on does not seem to be able to Do Video ?
If one of these is a Jabber ID (including a GoogleTalk one) you will not be able to Video to PCs or to the Web Mail Chat page at Google or to Mac Users using another Jabber app.
This is dues to Protocol differences about how the chats are connected.
I presume by "Enabled" you mean both the Video Menu has Camera Enabled AND the View Menu has Show Video Status Enabled. Both should show Ticks and that can be done by selecting the line. Toggling the line turns the option On (ticked) or Off (unticked).
The View Menu show you icon to your Buddies as well as displaying the Green icons at your end. (As does the Camera Enabled if the View Menu is set)
The Video Menu item of Camera Enabled and the View Menu Show Video Status (and Audio's line) can be set individually against each Buddy list you have. (As can the Share Screen option).
If it is the first option I asked about we will need more details but is likely to do with the iChat Menu > Preferences > Video Section > Bandwidth Limit setting for that iChat/Buddy List.
It should not be below 200kbps for 1-1 chats or the 500kbps setting for 3 and 4 way Video Chats.

IChat screen sharing and video not working on MacBook but works on Mac pro

I have a MacBook and MacBook pro. Both have the lion os 10.7.2. I can use iChat on the MacBook pro for screen sharing, video chat, and text chatting, with others remote to me. However, I can only do texting with the MacBook. I can do screen sharing via Finder between my MacBook and MacBook pro. I can do FaceTime between both systems. I can also do FaceTime between the MacBook and anyone remotely.
I also tried installing teamviewer on the MacBook, and on a remote MacBook..... And I get the same results where I cannot share the screen, from the one that has not been working.
I have checked the settings under system preference and made sure screen sharing was enabled. I have checked under iChat under video to make sure screen sharing was checked.
The macbook that is having this problem is configured for AIM for iChat
I have run out of ideas. Any suggestions on what I might try?
Thanks

Ok,
I will list the ports in greater detail and point out when iChat uses them.
AIM Login and 1-1 Text Chatting
iChat version 1 through 5 will Log in to the AIM server on port 5190 (TCP Protocol) by default.
Since iChat 2 we have been posting here that the AIM servers allow a Login on almost any port and have been suggesting port 443.
This is used by both Web Browsers for secure Login to some sites and by the Mail app with some mail servers.
It is also below port 1024 (most domestic routers have the ports above this figure closed) In some campus situations using port 443 will normally allow at least Login and Text chatting.
iChat 6 uses port 443 by default.
File Transfers (AIM)
When doing File Transfers with AIM Buddies iChat will move to using Port 5190 on the UDP Protocol.
This cannot be changed. (This invokes the little Message about Starting Direct IM in an open Chat)
It also uses this port for Pics-in-chats, dropping Files on a Buddy's name with out a Chat or sending other files that are not pics.
In the case of Port Forwarding some devices don't like port 5190 being forwarded "twice" which is another reason for moving the login and Text chat port.
Jabber Logins
No matter what Jabber server you use ichat will use one of two ports (5222 and 5223)
Which one it uses is dependent on whether it needs and is using an SSL Login or not.
SSL Logins use port 5223 and NON SSL one use 5222 (ticking or Unticking the SSL box on a Jabber account will automatically change the port).
Google Talk is the exception in that it allow a Login on port 443 as well.
The First Apple Doc I linked you to says iChat uses port 5220 in Jabber.
I run Little Snitch and have never seen any version of iChat use this port at any time.
Bonjour
Any Mac to Mac Connection or Mac to any Bonjour able peripheral will be on port 5353.
This is normally opened (Preset) in the Mac Firewall for the Finder/System side of Sharing.
iChat needs and uses two other ports (5297 UDP and 5298 on both TCP and UDP)
As they an LAN Side connections the router would normally pass them.
At iChat 3 there were issues with the Mac Firewall (it included UDP set up and the preset in the firewall only listed them and TCP so we had people add all the iChat ports (you had to manually enter them in Tiger)
A/V Chats
No matter which Buddy List you start from iChat will do A/V chats the same way.
The Visible Invite you or your Buddy sends is on port 5678 (UDP)
In iChat 3 and earlier iChat then moves to port 5060 to send the SIP Connection Process invite behind the scenes (SIP = Session Initiation Protocol)
Port 5060 is one of 4 ports internationally agreed for SIP (How VoIP phones connect) (5060-5063).
Although ISPs were not supposed to block Through traffic many started blocking End users and then Charging them to open these ports (Many ISP were telecom companies that were losing long distant Telephone calls monies).
The SIP process then in iChat 3 contacts a server run by Apple for this purpose (Snatmap.mac.com to give it it's full name).
This acts like a old fashioned telephone operator connecting the call.
SIP is a text based process.
Your end "Calls" the operator.
The Operator "Calls" Buddy.
Buddy Accepts
iChat then negotiates the ports to be used.
In iChat 2 and 3 it uses 4 ports (vid in Vid out, Audio In and Audio Out) from "the group of 20" starting at the bottom (16384 to 16387 normally)
Three and 4 way chats uses more ports (which is why 20 are set aside)
In iChat 4 Apple realised the issue with the 5060 port and changed the way iChat worked
Since then it has Sent the invite on Port 5678 but then moved to port 16402 (it starts at the top of a smaller group of 20)
All Video and Audio traffic is also now on one port (so no need for 20 ports and iChat now lists 10).
NOTES so Far.
File Sharing during a Chat converts the Chat to Direct IM for AIM Logins
This is Peer-to-Peer in AIM
A/V Chats are Peer-To-Peer and you can actually log out of the Buddy list and continue the chat. (The exception is using iChat 6's AIM Video relay option)
Screen Sharing
Screen Sharing is an Audio Chat with a VNC connection along side.
Both bits have to wok to avoid the Pop-up to send to Apple and the Log that contains.
The Audio part is on port 16402 and the VNC part is random. (So random it is different every time you do it)
The reason it is classed as an Audio Chat+ is so the AppleScript for Auto Accept can filter out Screen Sharing connection and Not Auto Accept them.
This does have a knock on effect as far as your Router is concerned as already mentioned earlier.
You cannot Forward or Trigger the random Port so you have to use UPnP in your router to open the ports.
NOTES
Jabber File sharing may possibly be on port 1080 as listed in the Server Article I linked you to (I have also seen it written about in other stuff I have come across)
However Little Snitch does not seem to confirm this either.
Most time it will be peer-to-peer like the AIM connections for this.
However some Jabber servers do not seem to allow this and have this Jabber65 Proxy set up which passes things Server to Server in between it leaving your end and arriving at a Buddy.
This on Port 7777 but you do not need to open this port (unless you are running a Jabber server)
I have yet to test File Transfers using a Yahoo Buddy List in iChat 6.
AppleCare and Geniuses.
Previously I have been contacted by Geniuses in Stores asking to test customer's iChat.
They and the Applecare people have details about Apple wants an designed the App to work.
What they don't have is the knowledge about what it takes to set it up in the "real world".
There are literally thousands of Makes and Models of routers.
Some like the Thomson-Alcatel brand state they are SIP/VoIP ready but this means the router strips out all SIP Data trying to send it to a Phone.
Early models of Alcatels can get around this with a tweak. Later models can't.
Motorola devices tend not to have UPnP.
Apple Base Stations have Port Mapping Protocol instead of UPnP and this needs setting up.
The Zyxel range definitely does not like the dual use of port 5190 and does much better using UPnP (You almost certainly have to do your AIM login on port 443 with these).
1. I have two computers (MacPro and MacBook Pro) that are both running Lion 10.7.2 and both running iChat 6.0.1. <<-- Fine
2. The Netgear router model is: WNDR3700.    <<<<--- With any Brand there are exceptions and I do wonder about this one
3. The firewall for both Macs is turned on and in the advanced area iChat is listed as being "allowed." <<<<---- Fine
4. In iChat, under the video options, "Screen Sharing Allowed" is checked.                                        <<<<<---- Fine
5. In System Preferences, "Screen Sharing" is checked and this is for "All Users" at present.               <<<<<---- Not Required
6. There are two separate AIM accounts being used for iChat purposes.                                            <<<<<---- OK
7. In iChat preferences, each AIM account is "Enabled" under "Account Information" and the "Server Settings" show the Server as "api.oscar.aol.com" and the Port is "443" and "Use SSL" is checked.                                <<<<---- As it should be
From this and the other info in the first port it was only the router set up that seem to throw some light on a possible cause (Port Forwarding and UPnP conflict)
If just doing Port Forwarding the ports listed would have covered things (Except the Screen Sharing's random port)
Regarding your latest post.
I have table similar to that on my Sagem 2504Fast Modem/router combined device and it too seems to list a different port on the external side on occasions.
I would try the router with the Disable SIP ALG unticked (so it is not disabled). If the Help info on the right gives any info about what this Netgear version does it would be helpful.
Some are like the Thomson-Alcatels I was talking about in that it points the SIP data to a specific place (Possibly a Phone socket on the device)
Others seem to provide an "boost" to enable SIP to work and don't seem to get in the way of iChat.
Try adding the Names in Table 1 from this page and see if you can Video to those.
There are 6 names in total (I am actually only seeing one on Line as I type)

Ichat failed to start video because..... not responded

Hi
I managed to fix this problem the last time simply by trashing com.apple.ichat.plist and com.apple.ichat.AIM.plis, you can see that discussion under this thread: "geetting error -8"
For the last year, I have switched to skype but now i have some new ichat buddies who don't want to use skype. Unfortunately it doesn't work again.
I get the "ichat failed to start video because..... not responded" problem again
I use SpeedTouch 585i v6... and i have read all the old posts about unbinding SIP etc. but I don't really have access to my router since it has been provided by the ISP, and I don't now the passward and user name to the router.
Anyhow has apple gotten any smarter about solutions to this problem?
Thanks for your time,
Kevin

Hi Crowncrow,
Same instructions but change unbind to bind
As the page says it can be difficult to completely unbind the version 5 and upwards devices.
In theory the IP phone can be off one ethernet port and the computer another on the Alcatel.
The binding presumes only one device is going to be doing SIP/VoIP so the binding says it will keep SIP to port 5060
In practice these devices and some adapters strip out all the SIP data even if it is not addressed to the Phone.
As the device can be re-set I would try unbinding it and see if it helps.
Unfortunately there has not been much success with version 5 or 6 firmware anyway and it may not help.

IChat AV 3.1.5 is not letting me start audio or video sessions.

I have read all of the articles on the topic, opened up all ports needed, changed the quicktime settings to sreaming instead of automatic as suggested, fixed router configuration. Done everything regarding making iChat work audio and video chats. Still not getting results. When a friend invites me to a video chat 2 out of 10 work properly. Why cant' I make it work? Does the program needs an updated version from the internet? Pls help me with this issue. IChat is a very important tool for my bussines.
Pls comment.

Another ichat question: user (me) did not respond redux

Hi,
I have been unable to invite a video chat with someone, getting the 'I' did not respond message. I have tried everything that I can think of:
changing the port from 5190 to 443 (or whichever is recommended)
turned off my firewall
do not use a router
adjusted QT settings to 1.5 mbps and bandwidth limit to NONE
The person I am trying to connect with (on a PC using AIM) ends up having to invite me, which may or may not work on the 1st try. Also, when I do the invite, it immediately responds and goes to 'starting chat' and just hangs there for a while until I get the inevitable 'user (me) did not respond' with the option of reporting to apple, which I do everytime.
I know that I had this problem before and did everything that was needed/recommended, which ended up working in the end, but I am baffled now. Any other ideas? They will be greatly appreciated!!!
Have a good day!

imac 2.0 intel duo Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Dave,
I have a Scientific Atlanta DP2100 series as given through Comcast (my ISP). According to Comcast, once I hook everything up, it is set. I have recently reset it by simply unplugging everything, letting it sit for at least a minute, and then hooking it back up, power, ethernet and cable. It does it's little startup thing, and it theoretically should be good to go. I have talked to Comcast recently, due to internet lags and tv problems, and they have said that though there have been outages around my area (but not directly here), things look good on their end. A few grains of salt with that one!
For some reason, when I try to access the modems settings via the dns address, it doesn't open that address, so that may be playing a part in it. I am not too knowledgeable on that, so if you have some ideas, that would be great.
Thanks,
Greg
