IChat does not receive messages after a few hours

I always leave my computer on at night since I often get chats from overseas that I don't want to miss. Ever since I have started using iChat 5, these messages never arrive at my computer anymore. I am also using it in conjunction with AIM on the iPhone. Could that be causing the problems? Ususally the chats arrive on both iPhone and Mac.

Hi,
Welcome to the  Discussions
This can be a case of sorting out whether the computer Sleeps,
Whether it is receiving Off Line IMs,
and How your Forwarding was set up.
Use this page to Login to AIM
https://settings.aim.com/
Once you do that it should return to this page but will have your Name on it.
At that point you can check the Off Line IM status.
If you computer sleeps then ichat may well start faster than the computer reconnects to your LAN - in which case iChat does not login again.
This may mean it is "Missing" IMs when technically iChat is Off line.
I have never set up forwarding but you might have to check device order priorities. If the Phone is Off does it default to the computer ?
Is it supposed to be gong to Both ?
On that Settings page they call it Mobile (rather than Forwarding).
Hope this give you some ideas about where to look.

please help... what is happening!!!!

Just to recap, this is a collection of ports I have collected over time for people who needed this information when setting up the HP ePrint app so that they could view their email from within the app. I am certain other applications also need this information. Although lengthy, I could not find a more comprehensive place to retrieve this information. Feel free to post additional information, faulty information, or other related topics below as this is simply a collection of data and it would be practically impossible to test all of them. Thank you!
Don't forgot to say thanks by giving "Kudos" if I helped solve your problem.

TS2755 My ipad does not receive messages, the bubble in the green background. My iphone does.

My ipad does not receive messages, the bubble in the green background. My iphone does.
I can use my ipad to send messages, but it only moniltors the ones i send with the ipad. All the other messages I get on my iphone are missing.
Any idea why?

"The bubble in the green background" indicates the message was an SMS (cellular text) message. If the background were blue, it would mean the message was an iMessage.
The difference is important. Your iPad is not a cellular telephone. It cannot send or receive cellular text or MMS messages. It is, however, an Apple device which means it can communicate using Apple's iMessage to/from other Apple devices (typically over WiFi).

HT3529 I'm sending an iMessage from my iPhone to another iPhone but the recipient phone does not receive message because not on wifi. Why does recipient iPhone not automatically receive in text messaging?

I'm sending an iMessage from my iPhone to another iPhone but the recipient phone does not receive message because not on wifi. Why does recipient iPhone not automatically receive in text messaging?

Wi-Fi is not required for iMessage. Internet access is required for iMessage which includes when the iPhone is connected to the cellular network.
If an iMessage cannot be sent, it will fail to send and you will be prompted to send as an SMS if text only.

IMessage for Mac not receiving messages after ios8 upgrade

I recently updated my iPhone 5 to iOS8, however, after doing this my Macbook Pro now does not receive iMessages and is unable to send them. Can anyone give me some help to get the iMessages on the mac working again? Thanks.

Hey DenholOliver,
Thanks for the question. I understand that you are not receiving iMessages on your MacBook Pro since updating your iPhone 5 to iOS 8. Let’s check to see that your phone number and Apple ID are setup correctly on both of the devices:

Ichat does not receive chats from other people

For some reason when i send a message through chat to one of my buddies, it goes through but does not verify that it has gone through on the chat box. I am also unable to receive chats from buddies. This has been going on for a few weeks now and i have tried everything from restarting ichat to restarting my computer. I also have the 15" macbook pro that is about 3-4 years old

Hi,
Just so I am clear.
You normally use a Name regstered with AIM in iChat.
You have recently created an @mac.com name in addition but that will not show your end of Messages sent nor Incoming Messages.
In iChat > Preferences > Accounts > Server Setting what is the port both Accounts/Screen Names use to Log in ?
The Default is port 5190 with SSL On.
Log out (Account Info Tab and deseslect "Use this Account")
Try Without SSL (Untick SSL and then Log in again.)
If that does not work Log out and try port 443.
If you still have an issue delete the Screen Name (Click the Minus button beneath the List and conform.
Re-Add account.
It may also pay to delete com.apple.iChat.AIM.plist from your Home Folder/Library/Preferences (Drag it to the Trash)
Restart iChat afterwards.

X220t does not boot anymore after a few times running, does not get past BIOS

I just bought a x220t and want to use it with Win8.1. I had before upgraded my x201t to win8 with no problem at all.
After a few succesfull runs in wich I do the patching it stops booting completely. I can't even push F8. It will only go to Bios in witch I have fidled a bit, but nothing works. I have tried a fesh install for three times. It does boot an USB DVD drive with the origiganal win 8.1 disk, but it can't fix my problems.
I have an I7 version whith Intel 160GB ssd. I did a lenovo check, all clear, I dit an Intel SSD check, all clear. Unfiortunatiely I have delated the restore partition. I am on the latest BIOS (1.39)
Sometimes I get in to the Lenovo boot menu, with no result. I want to rip out my hairs!
Any help?

Hi thomas1921,
Not an answer to your specific question, but I'm very surprised that a BIOS update would break DVD booting. Have you tried pressing F1 at boot to get to BIOS Setup and examining / changing the boot order? Or pressing F12 at boot to select the boot device? (Think the F12 feature must be enabled in BIOS Setup.)

AV iChat ---does not respond message

I've been reading about iChat problems and see a lot of frustrated people out there and have joined the ranks.
My mother and I successfully AV iChatted Friday night.
My daughter and I AV iChatted Sunday (she could invite me, i couldn't invite her)
My daughter was able to AV iChat with her grandmother Sunday too. But I could not. We could however audio chat.
A week later I cannot audio OR video chat with my mother.
We are getting the "(fill in name of invitor) did not respond" message.
I have opened the ports in my Mac Firewall, and my mother did too--no luck.
I tried to set a static ip address for my computer but cannot because my isp has dynamic DNS and I'm not allowed to according to them.
Am I frustrated? You bet!
I've Mac OS X (10.4.5) on dual processor intel iMac. I connect to the web via Motorola Surfboard S84220 Cable Modem and Netgear 54 Mbps wireless router WGR614v6. My mother is on System: Mac OSX version 10.4.5
Power Book G4 and is connected thru Surfboard Motorola Model SB 5100.
Oh--should I say, I am on .Mac and my mother is AIM?
My husband is beginning to worry about me because I have been glued to my computer--he says there are programs out there to help people like me get over my addiction--i hope so.

Well thanks for your time and input. After playing around with everything for another while, I finally called Apple Care. I figured since I payed for it, I should use it.
They first suggested that my problem lay with the strength of my internet connection. I turned my airport off and hooked up to the internet directly with the cable. When that did not help, we tried one more thing.
It turns out that I had to reset my modem. I unplugged it for 2 minutes--including its cable connection, and then turned everything back on as well as restarting my computer. Voila! it worked.
I have since reconnected my airport and am now operating wirelessly, and iChat is happy again.
Since I am not a technical person, i am probably going to garble this, but it seems that the modem was issuing crumby ip addresses to my computer (?)
Maybe you can make sense of this.
After all of this, it seems like such a simple fix. Maybe you who are experiencing the "did not respond" message can start here before you go to too much trouble setting ports and such.
We'll see if this still works tomorrow.
Good luck!

Oracle 10g AS 10.1.3 cluster : Topic MDB does not receive messages

Dear experts,
We have the latest Oracle 10g AS 10.1.3 cluster, which consists of two nodes.
Background: Our application is a J2EE app extensively using JMS for communicating notifications between cluster nodes. It does work fine in standalone OC4J, clustered WebLogic and clustered SAP WebAS.
Application is deployed without any errors to Oracle AS. It works fine with 1 cluster node, it 'half' works when second node is added.
The cluster does recognize both nodes - we can administer and see them fine from the console.
The problem application experiences is this:
1. The application MDBs do not seem to receive any messages sent from another node. Only messages submitted from the same JVM are ever seen. This leads to incosistency in server caches.
2. JNDI tree updates made from one node are also not visible on the other and vice versa.
We tried it on a single physical server with 2 App Server instances and on 2 physical servers.
I followed standard instructions on how to configure clustered environment - basically all we could do after we installed two instances was we turned on the PEER clustering for our application.
Firewalls are also turned off on both servers.
I would really appreciate any piece of advice because we're really stuck at this point!
Thank you!

Hi Peter,
Can you just install 10.1.3 on top of another AS installation?You can't install an Oracle Application Server on top of another version. The 10.1.3 install needs to have its own Oracle Home. However, you can configure a 10.1.3 install to use OHS 10.1.2 and to use OID 10.1.2 as its identity management store.
Can you install 10.1.3 standalone?Absolutely. You can download it from:

Mail does not retreive messages after upgrading to Mountain Lion

I just upgraded my work iMac (2009) to Mountain Lion last night and now it will not retreive any messages from my work email account (POP). It was working fine yesterday (and for the past 3+ years) while I was still on Lion, but despite searching for answers and trying multiple solutions for several hours, I still cannot get it to work. Among other things, I have deleted and then added the account back (multiple times); restarted the Mac (multiple times); and zapped the PRAM, but nothing has fixed it yet.
When I select "Get Mail" from that mailbox and watch the Activity Monitor, it connects to the server, says "Fetching new mail", then "Preparing to retreive new mail", but it then just disappears after about about a minute and makes the "no mail" beep. There are no error messages, but I can see in the bottom "Mail Activity" window that it says it's downloading 40+ messages but nothing shows up. The mail account still works on my iPhone and I can check the mail on my webmail server, so I don't think it has anything to do with the server especially since it worked fine yesterday.
Any insight would be much appreciated because it's driving me crazy!!

I forgot to mention (and add a new level of strangeness) that Mail is retreiving all of my messages from my personal (AT&T) account without issue.
And I just discovered an even bigger problem: all of my emails from my Sent and other folders from my work account are completely gone!
I may have no choice but to revert to my Lion system as of yesteday, before I installed ML.

Iphone 4 does not receive calls after iOS 6 update

Hi
can anyone help me?
Since the iOS 6 update my wife's phone has not been working properly, every so often calls are diverted to answer phone and only register to advise of a missed call, I have tried the following:
restarted the phone, taken the sim card out and then back in again, reset the settings and logged in to a different apple ID. The only thing I haven't done is to restore back to factory settings and start again.
Has anyone else experienced this and if so were you able to correct it.
Thanks for your time
Den

Well, i don't see an another solution possible; you should try again and again to restore. Btw, my phone seemed to operate strange (even the stock mail app began to crash) so i tried hard reset (home button + sleep/wake button until seeing the apple logo). After that i found my phone again in dfu mode this night so began restoring again now.
It seems that apple didn't tested ios6 enough with the 3GS. I have a 32 GB phone so this will be near 60 gb download from the icloud over my broadband connection.

HT1212 I have done the steps under the alternatively and it will does not restore and after a few minutes goes back to the page that the ipod is disabled page. Now how can I get past this?

Need help resetting ipod touch? I have followed all the directions and still it goes back to ipod is disabled connect to iTunes.

Try disabling the computer's antivirus and firewall.
- Next try the manual install method of:
iDevice Troubleshooting 101 :: iPhone, iPad, iPod touch
Place the iPod in recovery mode after the firmware download is complete and then restore using the instructions in the article. Sometimes recovery mode timeouts and returns to disabled before the firmware download is complete.
- Then try on another computer
