IChat Changes with OS 10.4.7 upgrade

This is just to acknowledge that Apple finally got it right with the iChat changes in the latest OS upgrade. After following the endless advice from many of you through this forum with no good results and continuing degrading video rates or lack of ability to connect with a known good buddy, I finally gave up and started using third party software to permit barely satisfactory operation. With 10.4.7 all of the earlier problems (starting with 10.4.3) have apparently been resolved, and peak performance has been restored. Hooray!

  • Problem with iChat changing my custom away message after 30 minutes

    Lately, I've been having a big problem with iChat changing any custom away message that I put up to "Away" after 30 minutes or so. Is there anything I can do to make it stop? Another issue I'm having is that sometimes when people on my buddy list change their away message, it doesn't show up on iChat unless I go offline and then sign back on. Any idea why it's doing that, and what I can do to get it to stop?
    Thanks.

    Hi ienjoyanime,
    Go to the General Section of iChat Preferences.
    Does it say you are set to Go to Away when you log off/QUit iChat ?
    is the computer going to Sleep at this point ?

  • Bluetooth protocol changes with iPhone upgrade to 3.0 for hearing aid?

    I have hearing aid (Phonak) along with the iCom device that connects my aids to my iPhone via bluetooth (allows me to hear calls in both ears and be handsfree too). I upgraded to 3. now every time I read my email (no phone use), I get the audible beeps indicating a changing of my hearing aid settings and somewhat interferes with the quality of the sound. I never had this issue before. I have reset the iPhone, removed and reattached/discovered the iCom adapter. So I am wondering if the bluetooth protocol was changed with the upgrade?

    Yes I have a first gen iphone and have not had any problems with any of the new firmware upgrades, until this one.
    However it was a simple issue that I believe was related to the activation server. At the end of the update process the phone is supposed to restart then contact the activation server and re-activate. Instead mine hung up at this point and I got an error that itunes could not connect to my phone.
    To fix it I disconnected the phone, restarted the phone and itunes, reconnected the phone and it activated itself and it has worked flawlessly ever since. Do it, the improvements are well worth the effort. I especially like the landscape keyboard in email.

    When I upgraded to 10.7.4 I lost the ability to use a lot of my previous software that was intel based. My Adobe suites for example. So for $29 i now have to spend $1000's to get these to work. What has changed with Mountian Lion. I am not rich?

    The reason your applications do not work in Lion/Mountain Lion is that they were written for the older PowerPC CPU that all Macs used up to 2006.  When Apple made its transition to the Intel CPU, they licensed software that they included in all versions of OS X (from Tiger to Leopard and optionally, Snow Leopard) called Rosetta.
    Rosetta miraculously allows PowerPC applications to work on the Intel processor transparently; you do not know it is even present.
    The problem is that after 6 years of the transition, Apple's license to use the underlying software expired for OS X Lion and all version thereafter (and it is doubtful that the current owner of the software, IBM, would relicense it, even if Apple were inclined to do so).
    So you do not have to accept recriminations from others for previously using Rosetta without even knowing it was present and running!
    So for those of use that need to upgrade to Lion/Mountain Lion, I have offered the option to install Snow Leopard (with Rosetta) into Parallels 7:

    And now Mountain Lion:
    If you are unable or unwilling to update your inventory of PowerPC software, this solution offers you an alternative for not more than the $29 cost of Snow Leopard and $79 cost of Parallels (cheaper via internet sources).
    Full Snow Leopard installation instructions into Parallels 7 are here:

  • Active Directory login soooo slow with 10.4.11 client upgrades

    Hi All,
    I have a problem and hopefully someone will be able to help me.
    We have around 30 Macs in and a golden triangle set up with Mac OS X Server 10.3 on Xserves and a Windows Server 2003 as the PDC and primary DNS server.
    Basically, after upgrading the clients to 10.4.11 the log in process takes an extra 90 seconds to connect. The login window will appear but you are not able to log in until after 90 seconds. During the 90 seconds there are "Some Network Accounts Available" but this is just the Open Directory accounts in the background.
    I have tested with 10.4.4 up to 10.4.10 and this problem does not appear but once I upgrade to 10.4.11 then the problem comes back so I don't believe it is a server orientated problem.
    I also attempted using the old Active Directory plug-in within Directory Access from 10.4.8 and 10.4.10 in place of the one installed with 10.4.11 and this did not help with the matter.
    Does anyone know what has changed with 10.4.11 and what I could possibly do to resolve this problem?
    I probably haven't covered all the bases so let me know if you need more information.

  • If I buy a mac with mountain lion and then upgrade to mavericks wil I get iWork for free, If I buy a mac with mountain lion and then upgrade to mavericks wil I get iWork for free

    If I buy a mac with mountain lion and then upgrade to mavericks will I get iWork for free.

    If you buy a new Mac with Mountain Lion, any included software is free and can be redownloaded from AppStore for that machine only. Some software only gets reinstalled if OS X (only) gets installed over itself to fix issues. See #8 Step here.
    ..Step by Step to fix your Mac
    If you upgrade to Mavericks usually only OS X itself is changed (sometimes the hidden User Library is also), all the  software (and user accounts) also carries over (compatible or not), and Apple's software is upgraded.
    So if your new Mountain Lion Mac comes with free iWork, then when you upgrade to Mavericks it will still be there.
    If your new Mountain Lion does not come with free iWork, then it won't magically appear for free if you upgrade to Mavericks.
    If you need a free Office suit, I suggest you look at the donationware LibreOffice.
    You will likely need to control key or right click to "Open" LibreOffice to approve through OS X's "Gatekeeper".
    You will need to manually update it also, as it's not on AppStore.
    https://www.libreoffice.org/
    Benefit of LibreOffice is it's completely cross-platform compatible, so you can share working files with Windows and Linux users, which you can't with iWork.
    You also should learn Microsoft Office when you have the funds, because it's standardized in the business world.

  • Muse site does not allow photos to change with mobile device orientation i.e. they can't be seen as full images

    I have a site that has images on it and when viewed on a mobile device (ipad, phone) look fine when in portrait mode, but when the device is rotated 90 degrees you can't see the whole image.  Is there some setting/widget something I need to enable this?
    Thanks

    1- of course i know i have to accept the change, i just don't recall specifically whether or not iPhoto itself was one of the recent updates i accepted. lol
    2-this is not true - a few years back, it was a 2 step process. Then it changed with one of the upgrades, and i have been able (as long as i selected 4x3 *book* as opposed to 4x3 *dvd*) to drag between orientations for the past few years - at LEAST 2 years, maybe as many as 4 (I lose track). I remember thinking at the time what a wonderful upgrade that was because it did away with all that needless clicking. Now all of a sudden this month, it has been switched off - am I the only one who has noticed this?
    I have been creating an annual 'family photo album' book via iPhoto for several years now, and i use the 4x3 book sizing specifically for that reason, so I've got lots of experience using this setting. I *know* it used to work the other way.

  • Impossible Upload files with Filezilla FTP Client after upgrade win8 to win8.1

    Hi,
    Please Change your transfer settings in site manager from either default or passive to active it to see what's going on.
    Also, check IE compatibility mode.
    In addition, I suggest you install all latest updates for Windows since these updates will improve and fix some known issues.

  • What's the deal with notes and screenshots for upgraded app versions?

    We uploaded a new version to replace our 1.1 version of an app in the store.
    There was some confusion today that still persists:
    (1) For a while, the link to our current version app became invalid and we lost like 2/3rds of our normal sales until the link became valid again. Anybody else ever see that happen? Very frustrating.
    (2) Right now, there are two app versions inside itunes connect - the current selling one and the upgraded version awaiting review. I know the old one disappears when the new version is approved and goes on sale. But what is confusing is that the new screenshots and notes for the new version are also displaying in the current app version on sale in the store! I went ahead and added an explanatory note to potential downloaders... but is this a bug or something? Or is that the way it has always worked?
    How do people here tend to handle the timing of new screenshots and descriptions when you add new features and want to show them off in your update app?
    Thanks,
    doug

    This has been discussed a number of times here already.
    The only items cached for an update release are the specific 'update/what's new in this version' notes.
    All other changes will be updated immediately (within a few hours).
    You have 2 choices:
    1. Post the changes with a note (i.e. this is the next version, awaiting apple approval) so users aren't ticked by downloading the latest actual version.
    2. As soon as your update is officially released (monitor it) change the text and images.

  • Blu-ray can't communicate with DHCP server since I upgraded to Lion

    Hi gang, hope someone can help me out. I have a Sony Blu-Ray DVD BDP-N460 that I normally use to connect to the internet and watch streaming Netflix, etc. with no problems, until I upgraded to Lion. Now, for some reason, I get an error message: "Having trouble communicating with the DHCP server." I use a wired connection directly to my AirPort Extreme, and I also use a Motorola SBV5220 SURFboard Cable Modem. I haven't changed my internet servings on my Mac.
    Under system settings on my Blu-Ray on-screen display, it says "Physical connection OK, Local Settings OK, Internet Connection Failed." I've tried umpteen times going through the automated setup on my Blu-Ray, where the system automatically detects settings, etc...everything I did when I first set the system up. And I've tried countless manual setting combinations. No luck. This is really weird because I had no problems in the past...the culprit seems to be Lion because this glitch happened simultaneously with my upgrade.
    I am not a networking expert so any help will be greatly appreciated.
    I'm running Lion 10.7.1 on an iMac 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with 2GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM.
    Thanks.

    Update: So here's what's happened. I figured I would ditch the Sony and get a $99 Apple TV. I still had the same connection issues.
    (FYI my network is now set up like this: Motorola Cable Modem via Ethernet to Time Capsule via Ethernet to Mac. In a separate studio, Airport Extreme wirelessly connects to Time Capsule; Airport Express connects to Extreme via Ethernet cable. For this discussion, only Time Capsule applies, not Extreme as mentioned above.)
    I called support, and they had me read my Time Capsule's IP Address, Subnet Mask, Router, and DNS Server numbers to them. Then, they had me manually input those numbers into my Apple TV (via my TV screen), number-for-number, EXCEPT they had me increase the last digit of the IP Address by one (for example, my Time Capsule's IP was 10.0.1.2, and they had me make my Apple TV's IP Address 10.0.1.3).
    I assume these settings would work on the Sony DVD. I'm so happy with the Apple TV that I don't even want to go back and try.
    Sorry, Apple, for blaming the whole thing on Lion. Not really sure why all this happened out of the blue though.
    Hope this helps somebody. I'm a happy camper now. Apple TV rocks.

  • Tpnotify with TPACK flag hangs after upgrading to Tuxedo 12c RP020

    Hi,
    We are experiencing issues with tptonify with TPACK flag set after upgrading to Tuxedo 12c. Looks like tpnotify is not returned or reporting errors. Is there anything to do with "009. Bug16506218 - TPNOTIFY WITH TPACK FLAG THROW OUT EXCEPTION"? Is there any documentation about the new flag TPACK_INTL?
    Thanks

    Hello,
    If all you have done is upgrade to Tuxedo12 the behavior should be the same. The TPACK flag definition is:
    "The request is sent and the caller blocks until an acknowledgement message is received from the target client"
    Is there any additional change(e.g. in your client) you have made?
    What Tuxedo version are you upgrading from?
    The bug 16506218 fix was for a jolt client exception and a JSH failure.
    Do you see an error or is the process which executes tpnotify() just hanging/blocking waiting for the ack message?
    The flag that you mention is actually an undocumented customer requested enhancement that went into Tuxedo 10.3.
    Are you using it? Using it changes the tpnotify() behavior dependent upon the client status.
    Regards,
    Bob Finan

  • I buy the new imac,late 2012 with a hard-drive 3TB and i want to change with another hard-drive 1TB....where i can buy?

    i buy the new imac,late 2012 with a hard-drive 3TB and i want to change with another hard-drive 1TB....where i can buy?

    It's also much more difficult to install third-party hard drives in current or recent Macs than it was. See:
    http://blog.macsales.com/10146-apple-further-restricts-upgrade-options-on-new-im acs
    The 2012 iMacs are also in essence glued together and very difficult to disassemble and reassemble. The bottom line is: don't try it.
    Why, if I may ask, would you want to remove the 3TB drive and replace it with a 1TB drive? What is it you hope to achieve even if it were possible?
    Regards.

  • Ichat works with macs, but can't send/accept invites with pcs

    bear with me, still a newbie/read discussions, this is my 1st post. audio ichat ok with mac friend, but ichat menu options won't allow invite audio or video chat with sister using pc, even though i downloaded aim 6.7 in addition to ichat. i have road runner and digital videocam with firewire, sister has comcast with logitech quickcam, she was able to ichat with mac friends. i've read ichat help & discussions, contacted applecare & roadrunner & aol, no luck...
    1) should i uninstall aim6.7?
    2) ichat preference shows camera/mic/bandwidth/but no port option, need to open port 443 with firewall on? how? where?
    3) what info is my query missing?
    4) i'll upgrade to 10.5 + airport express + 20"display soon, will that cause other issues?
    5) is this a repair permissions issue somehow? i've pulled tips on weekly maintenance. my entire family is waiting, i'm at a complete loss...please help.
    thanks, teta bepa

    howdy steve,
    good news first. ichat worked a-ok with my mac friend. i have os10.3.9, ichat av2.1.3, panasonic digvidcam w/ firewire. mac friend has os10.4.1, ichat av3.1.8, imace w/ isight. simple as pie, no problem to start ichat, good sound and video, couldn't have been easier. connection doctor info looked fine too, video and audio at 100%. yippee!
    this mac friend had previously been able to ichat with my pc sister, not perfect, but they certainly made contact for videochat. as for my contact w/ pc sister, i'm still trying and hoping...
    pc sister upgraded her aim to version 6.5.4.16, via comcast.net by the way. i also told her to allow aim6.exe exception in firewall, and directed her to ralphjohnsuk info too. we both shut off our firewalls, as had my mac friend. FINALLY in my buddy menu options, i was able to send videochat invite to my sister. ichat said "sending invite" and "starting videochat" but that's as far as it got. at least the connection doctor did not mention "no response" or failed or anything like that, connection doctor just seemed to wait for audio/video info.
    what do you think is going on? it seems we're very close to actual videochat. at least my mac is getting fewer error messages, it's waiting for videochat to start. the even bigger mystery is...how could my mac friend have previously gotten videochat w/ my pc sister, but nothing now?
    now we 3 are at wit's end as to how to loop in my pc sister. i truly appreciate any insight you may offer. thanks for your time and expertise. take care.
    teta bepa
    (by the way, i'm upgrading to os10.5 and will attempt videochat when i'm wireless w/ airport.)
