IChat AV v3.1.5; Mac OS X v10.4.7; QT v7.1.2 Connection Issues

Hello,
I have been using iChat AV for video conferencing with family and friends successfully for some time now (no connect issues). Recently, I updated all machines to OS v10.4.7 (from 10.4.6) and QuickTime v7.1.2. Since this update (no other changes to computer or network), we have been having intermittent connection failures (more failures than not). All failures "Chat ended with error -8". Also, the MacMini doesn't recoginze the iSight sometimes now. It appears that several other users on the discussion board have had similart experiences; however some of those situation are convoluted by other network uncertainties.
Has someting in the OS and QT updates broken iChat AV? If so, when is a patch anticipated? Or an installer that could be used to revert back to the previous versions of OS, QT, and iChat?
BTW, I've already tried re-installing the combined update for Intel and QuickTime. Then repairing permissions (nothing to repair). These were suggested in other threads, but yielded the same results.
Thank you.

Hi RF_Boy,
It can also be useful to run the Combo Update for your type of Mac http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/
Sometimes it can pay to reinstall Quicktime over the top

As James says try it to other people.

10.8 mac can't send messages to ichat 6 10.7.3 mac

so a friend of mine just got a new macbook pro. I am wanting to communicate with her on our macs. I have a macbook with 10.7.3 and ichat 6. When she sends me messages, they go to my iphone instead of ichat. When I turn off my iphone and she sends my ichat screen name (ending with @mac.com) she gets a message saying that my screen name is not registered with imessage. My screen name is not associated to my iphone, only my cell # is set to receive imessages at. What can I do to receive to have my imessages that I want to come to ichat 6 on my mac, actually come to my mac?
Thanks in advance

HI,
In Mountain Lion she has Messages.
Messages is iChat+
That is to say that the iMessages service has been added to iChat and the Name changed.
iMessages is closer to SMS on a phone than the AIM service but it is essentially a different Messaging service.
iMessages uses Apple IDs
Of course some Apple IDs issued by Apple (@Mac.com, @me.com and @icloud.com) are also Valid AIM names.
As iChat does not have the iMessages part any messages she sends or tries to Send cannot be sent via iMessage.
If you ae using the same Apple ID as the Apple ID on the iPhone (Or iOS version) of Messages then they will go there.
If she has one of the three type of Apple ID I listed Above then she needs to go to Messages Menu > Preferences > Accounts and press the + button lower left and add the Apple ID as if it were an AIM Name (It is a Valid Name of course)
NOTE
She must keep the password for this Apple ID to 16 character or less to use with AIM as this is the AIM server limit.

IChat issues with Mac OS X v10.6.2

I try to connect this morning with my business partners via iChat and it didn't work after installing last night Mac OS X v10.6.2. Before the update it was working perfectly.
Wish I had not installed this update yesterday, it did more harm than good.

(?) I followed the instructions from the install program. I went to sleep last night, turn off the Mac and get back to work this morning with the surprise that iChat is not working a 100%.
Let me correct myself, I didn't explain in detail my problem. iChat works but when I try to share my screen it is not connecting. I didn't try to connect the video, but I will do it tomorrow. Any ideas why the connections was unsuccessful?

IChat video connection issue, not related to router

I received a brand new 20" iMac Core 2 Duo just yesterday and intended to use iChat AV to video conference with my girlfriend, who has a 12" iBook G4 1.2GHz with an iSight and all system software up-to-date.
We both have DSL connections at home. We also both have wireless routers. The very first time we tried a video conference, it worked perfectly without a hiccup and everything just looked and sounded wonderful. At the time, she was connected wirelessly and I was connected both wirelessly and through Ethernet to my router's local network.
The second time we tried it (only a few hours later), seemingly without having changed any settings, it failed to work, and hasn't worked since. At first, we would get Error -22, saying something about how bandwidth is insufficient to maintain a video conference. However, I do not believe bandwidth is the real issue since all other network/internet tasks on both ends are spiffy as usual. We also both tried turning off Airport and just connecting through Ethernet to our routers' local network. Same problem.
To then determine if the problem was with one our routers, we both set them aside and plugged our DSL modems directly into our computers and connected to the internet with PPPoE. This appears to partially fix the problem: we are able to initiate a video conference, we both have audio, I can see her, but she can't see me; sort of a one-sided conference. On my screen, the image of myself freezes as soon as the conference is initiated. So unless I'm missing something, the ultimate cause of this problem doesn't appear to be the routers.
You can bet I tried a bunch of the common tips mentioned in this discussion forum before posting this question, such as changing the iChat port in the preferences, turning off Firewalls in the Sharing preferences and changing Quicktime streaming speed.
In summary, it worked once and hasn't worked since, and routers do not appear to be the cause of the issue. Does anyone have any further advice for me? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.

First off I want to thank James for his willingness to help me test connections today. James has suggested I check into upping my Mother's connection. I will definitely look into that.
I wanted to update the thread that I tried the three test accounts at Apple (appleu3test01-3) and had success from all three on my home computer via my wireless configuration no less. This is what stumps me about my connection issues with my Mother - we can both connect to others but between us we get error -8's since iChat 3. I also find it odd that this is happening even though we are both Earthlink customers - I would chalk it up to routing tables or something if we were on different ISP's.

IChat Connectivity Issue

In the past week, my iChat has been extremely error prone. Every time I attempt to send a message, an AIM service error occurs and the message doesn't go through. After 10 minutes or so, iChat disconnects entirely and logs me off with the message of an unexpected loss of connection.

Hi,
iChat must match the OS you are On.
If you are running Snow Leopard then you need the Snow Leopard Install DVD to get iChat 5
If you are running Leopard then you need the Leopard Install Disk to get iChat 4
In each case you NEED to run the COMBO of the Update Level you are up to.
(Either the COMBO for 10.5.8 if in Leopard or the one that takes you to 10.6.7 if Snow Leopard (Presuming you are as Up to Date as you can be) )

My brand new mac pro always had Internet connection issues at school. WHY is that? I see the school's Internet working perfectly fine on other PC's, but there is never a day where my mac doesn't have Internet connection issues at school. How do I fix it?

I got my mac pro in the middle of August. School started the week after. Internet was working perfectly fine at home. But at school, I never had a good connection. Sometimes on the good days I get a connection when I'm sitting at the exact spot in class I always sit at. It's ridiculous and it's frustrating. I invested my money into this laptop and I'm beginning to regret it. I thought it was the school's Internet, but I don't see Internet issues with other PC users. It's most frustrating on registration days and I'm trying to register for my classes before it gets taken, but again... Internet connection issues. It's random. Majority of the time, it doesn't work at all. I've done Network Diagnosis and turning WiFi off then turning it on again. I've done everything I could. I put my money on this laptop and it was a lot of money. I could have bought an 800 dollars laptop and I would have Internet connection anywhere on campus. So, I don't want to continue everyday to regret on buying this laptop every time I try to connect to the Internet at school or Starbucks or anywhere else. How do I fix this? What's the problem ?
At school, I heard this guy had a problem with Internet connections too and he owned a new mac book pro. He said something like Apple messed up on something, but he fixed it. If I knew mac book pro's had these issues I wouldn't have bought it in the first place. It's freezing on me every other day. It's ridiculous. But what concerns me the most is the Internet connection. So someone please tell me what can I do next to prevent the problem? Am I doing something wrong maybe?

Hi Kevin,
I'm using an XLR input mic which is connected to the phantom power enabled XLR mic socket on a USB M-Audio M-Track. The M-Track is connected by USB to the Mac Pro - so effectively I've got an M-Audio USB soundcard with a mic input. I've also tried a microphone that is a straight XLR to USB cable (guessing with some soundcard chip buried in the usb plug) but that also yields the same effect of bad latency, intermittent quality, stuttering and repeating and echoing (without the speakers on during record so its not feedback).
The mic works absolutely fine with other recording applications I have on the mac at the moment - albeit non-adobe ones (tested it on the EasyAudioRecorder - and it lives up to its name. it's easy)
I will try with Audition and report back, but sitting here right now I can imagine it would work fine with audition too - it just seems to be the way premiere is set up for recording into the timeline is a bit sketchy. I'm willing to accept it might well be a quirk with the new Mac Pro trashcan - I'm not weighting all the woes on premiere.
Any thoughts or am I out of luck to sit with my fingers crossed for a fix in the next round of updates?
Nathan.

How can i use my smart TV as a second monitor for my Power mac (2010) via HDMI cable? i've made the connection but no options show in system prefs display.

The Mac uses a highly-parameterized universal Driver for every display. The parameters are set at certain times when a query is sent to your display. The display MUST answer with its name and capabilities, or the screen stays dark. A TV set that is off or "not paying attention" because it is set to a different port when the query occurs will rarely answer, and so will often remain dark.
You can use tools in the System Report to see whether your display has been detected at all. If it has, the report will look something like this, but its name will appear:
The times when the query is sent are:
• at Startup
• at wake from sleep
• when the Mac-end of the cable is inserted
• when using the Option ( Detect Displays ) button in displays preferences

If you just got it back and it isn't fixed or something else is wrong with it take it back and have them do the repair correctly.

I got a new wireless connection for my mac and cannot figure out how to delete the last connection service I had. Everytime I shut the computer, the network goes back to the other one. I cannot find the file ANYWHERE

Under Network Preferences, select the WiFi
click on "Advanced..." button
Select the network you want to delete from the list and click on "-"
Click "Ok"
Click "Apply"
Well done ;-)
You may also want to delete the wireless key from Keychain.
Open Keychain, seach for the old wifi network name, slect it and click delete
