IChat imagent issues

Has anyone found a real fix to iChat on Lion - the imagent thing?
Everytime I want to use iChat I have to open Activity Monitor and force quick imagent, then re-open ichat and click the squggle to connect.
It's really annoying.
This is happening on my 2011 MacBook Pro and 2008 Mac Pro, both were upgraded from Leopard to Snow Leopard to Lion. A wipeout and reinstall is not an option, and really shouldn't be required. I have followed all steps I have found to check permissions and delete plist files and stuff.
Any permanent fixes or help would be appreciated. Thanks!

My sister has been having the same issue for about 10 days.  Today I helped her solve her problem.
"In iChat Preferences>Accounts>YourAimAccount?Server settings, is the server...
login.oscar.aol.com
Port: 5190?"
I had her change her settings to the following and immediately she was able to reconnect:
api.oscar.aol.com
Port 443
Also, I heard that as of June 30, ichat was being upgraded. Perhaps this is the cause of the problem. My sister and I are both running 10.8.5. My settings (which were never disconnected) were what I told her to change to (from the settings "login.oscar.aol.com port 5190). There is a support website here:
OS X: Using me.com or mac.com IDs with AIM in iChat requires OS X v10.7.2 or later
Hope this helps.

  • Image Issue

    I read where there is image issue posted at top but would like clarification.
    I have following feed:
    feed://thecatholiccafe.com/podcasts/thecatholiccafe.xml
    The art is showing up in itunes store, but when I download podcast the art is not showing up? Can anyone please advise why as I am confident I have proper images and tags.
    Here is image url:
    http://thecatholiccafe.com/podcasts/thecatholiccafe.jpg
    This podcast has been active and searchable over a week in itunes store. Since the image is proper in the itunes store, shouldn't it download properly to individual itunes accounts? Or is this a waiting game due to new itunes release.
    Thanks
    Steve

    Well, I did some more research and it's more complicated than I thought. I entered the URL of your xml file in the Advanced>Subscribe to podcast menu of iTunes: no image. Then I entered the URL of my own audio podcast - http://homepage.mac.com/rfwilmut/podcasts/podcast.xml - this time I did get my image, rather to my surprise.
    Your xml file is fine: it does not have the separate 'image' tag that mine does, but when I deleted that from mine it made no difference. However, my image is 300 x 300 and yours is 600 x 600.
    So the only thing I can think of is that iTunes (which obviously has to reduce the image size for display) does not like the 600 x 600; the test I carried out does not involve the Store at all, so that it's own tendency to delay showing the smaller image in the Search results isn't relevant here.
    You could try changing the size of the image to 300 x 300 and see what happens. Test it by using the 'subscribe to podcast' method I described above, rather than in the Store, so that you won't get confused by the Store's tendency to delay things.
    Please do post back and report the result.

  • NOKIA N97 Dark/night shot imaging issue

    there is imaging issue with night shot,whenever i shots pics in dark/night it gives me pic with white fadded in left side of image,is just bcoz of dual led flash which is very close to camera lens .anybody are facing the same problem...

    Just thought I'd add a follow up to this. Last night as I couldn't add my email account using the standard Nokia N97 email set-up so instead I used the Email Client application (Email on 3) that came from Three Mobile (my network provider) in the UK. I have been using this Three mobile client for my work email but used the N97 email app for my hotmail but the hotmail account stopped working when I upgraded the firmware software a couple of days ago and have been unable to add any new email accounts using the N97 email application. However last night I added my hotmail account using the Three email client and on doing so I got back 42mb from somewhere. I don't know if this is a fault with Three email client or some other interaction somewhere but from nowhere I got all this space back.
    For months I have been losing space and have been removing applications to get back last bits of space but was now down to below 1mb for the past week and ran out of apps to delete.
    I think this was probably yhe Three client app but am a bit suspicious that after this firmware upgrade I cannot add any email clients using the standard built in email software.
    Just though I'd post this in case it helps anyone else of points someone in the right direction. Will keep an eye on the space and see if it still goes down quickly and if so will try deleting the hotmail email account and see if that frees the space. I will post back if that is the case.
    Definatley reluctant to do any more firmware upgrades from now on though as have lost my built in email app (fails to connect to any accounts anymore)  and can no longer use the external wireless Nokia keyboard I had. Hate to think what I'd lose on the next upgrade.
    Thanks

  • .Tiff image issues

    When I try to insert .tiff images (like iChat smilies) I have to move them way over for them to actually come up where I want them to when the site is viewed through a web browser. If I don't move them they show up no where I want them to. I have attached an image to show you what I mean.
    I want the smilie to show up in the "hole" and where it is positioned now makes it show up there.

    Hi,
    I am new to MSDN and require some help on dealing with TIFF images.
    How do i extract the values from TIFF images, edit their values, and resave them as TIFF images?
    I saw the MSDN information on "How to: Encode and Decode a TIFF image".
    But still have the following issues.
    1)Image^ myImage = gcnew Image(); --> error: Image is ambiguous. I am apparently missing some includes or namespace, but i can find the System::Windows::Image namespace.
    2)How do i extract the grayscale values from the TIFF images? What variables are they being stored in?
    Thanks!

  • Ichat Video issues after update

    Hello, this is my first post so apologies if i mess anything up. My iChat has suddenly lost video chat capabilities. After perusing the forums i was unable to find a solution to my problem so i'm hopeful that someone can help me out. So far what i've been able to determine is that its saying "This computer does not support video chats" and "Slow Network" I found this odd since i had been using video chats just 24 hours earlier. I still have audio chat capabilities though. I did install a new update on my mac in that time so i didn't know if that was the cause of the issues. I am now running iChat 5.0.3 (745) and OS X 10.6.7. I have checked my download and upload speed. DL= 25.15 Mbps and UL=11.94 Mbps which i've gleaned should be more than enough. If anyone has any idea's why this is happening or how to fix it i'd welcome them.

    Hi,
    At iChat Launch it will check the hardware configuration and what Internet speed is available.
    The speed is written to the com.apple.ichat.plist and is used as the basis for all iChat version after that (During the time iChat is still Open)
    Starting up iChat whilst the computer is doing a download will effect this.
    Same if another computer on the same router is using the internet heavily (Consider On-line games on Game Consoles).
    Also getting iChat to Launch On Login to the Mac may get the app to start faster than it can Establish an Internet Connection (waking form sleep is prone to this) but maybe influenced by other apps starting and using the 'Net for Update checks.
    Upload speed is the crucial one.
    This should not be below 128kbps ("Real World" consider 256kbps)
    A restart of iChat will most likely sort this.
    If it persists delete com.apple.ichat.plist form your Home Folder/Library/Preferences (Drag to Trash)
    Restart iChat after this and the .plist will be recreated from defaults.
    This will mean that all your changes to anything but the accounts section of the iChat Preferences will be back to Defaults (Saved Transcripts, Font, Colour IM Colour etc.)

  • IChat communication issues (i Think...)

    Hello iChat forum,
    So, I've been having a lot of trouble with my ichat recently.  Not sure if there's been a recent update or something, but in general things seem to be completely haywire. 
    I used iChat to connect to my already existing AIM and GTalk accounts.  Some days it works, and other days it doesnt.  Today nothing is working at all.  
    There are no password issues.  I have been able to log in in the past with no problem.  In fact I was online on both accounts yesterday.  Today the application will not even respond to my request to sign on. 
    I went ahead and deleted all the accounts in my iChat preferences, and re-added them with the + symbol, to see if that would trigger anything.  Unfortunately not.  I'm going to re-boot now and see if that will do anything, but I'm guessing probably not. 
    Does anyone have any ideas why this might be happening?  My accounts are all there, but when I ask iChat to "Log in to Gmail" or "Log in to AIM," the little grey window with my username, photo, and status simply sits there and does nothing.  I have also tried changing my status on this little grey window to "Available" with the green circle beside it, but no luck there either.  I would really like to be able to log on to gchat and AIM on a regular, reliable basis, as I speak to my developer, friends, and other business associates via these programs.  I don't like to leave the browser windows open all the time, which is currently how I'm accessing GTalk. 
    Maybe, if iChat is just not doing well, there is another application someone could recommend as a GTalk + AIM client all in one.  I really like that I only have to have one window open and all of my contacts are there for me to chat with in one window. 
    Thanks for any help or advice!

    Hi,
    Open Applications/Utilities and open Keychain Access.
    Make sure the Login account is selected at the top left panel.
    Select the Password section in the lower left panel.
    Check these for your AIM Name.
    If you have changed you password they may be two entries.
    (As you Deleted and Recreated the iChat Accounts consider typos).
    Double click the line to bring up the info panel.
    Click the Show Password box (this brings up a dialogue Box for your Account Password and to use the Allow Once Button).
    Does the Password show what you expect ?
    Old Names/passwords are not deleted or changed but new ones are created which may mean there are several entries for the same "Name" (AIM ID)
    You can delete one of multiple entries.
    You can also change the password shown and save the result.
    It sounds if iChat is either not allowed through the Mac Firewall or possibly not through the routing device.
    Also do you have a DNS server listed in System Preferences > Network > Advanced Button > DNS tab ? (A local IP like 192.168.0.1 that points to your router does not count).
    As you say you are logged in via the Google Web Pages to access the chat option there, then we can presume the Password works for Google.
    Have you logged in to AIM Express to find out if the (AIM) password works for AIM ?

  • Firefox box around zoomed out images issue w/ (xf86-video-intel)

    When I zoomout on a page firefox displays a insetted box around my images.
    Most notably in my webmail client, however it happens even on the forums if I zoomout.
    Regualar zoom: http://world.pyther.net/files/Firefox/regular_zoom.png (The way it should look)
    Zoomed Out: http://world.pyther.net/files/Firefox/zoom_out.png (Inset boxes around images)
    This happens with both the offical arch build of firefox and the spookyet build. I have no idea how to fix this, it is very annoying!
    Any help would be great!
    EDIT:
    After doing some more research I have narrowed this down to being an issue with xf86-video-intel. The problem does not happen if I use the xf86-video-vesa driver. I have filed a bug report at https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=468366

  • Radio group / Image issues: additional labels - how do I get rid of them?

    Hello experts,
    I'm having a little issue with a radio group in VC on SPS 11.
    The problem is that I need a radio group in a popup (not sure if that is relevant) - and I also can create this - but it creates a textfield (with a label that has the radio groups name as its text) as well, that is not shown during design time, but only after I deploy the model.
    The annoying textfield is always displayed at the lower left corner of the popup.
    How can I disable this?
    On a related note, I'm also having a similar issue with Images: for an Image with name IMG3 it also displays a textfield with a label 'IMGFLD3" that shows the resource that is currently displayed in the image.
    What can I do about this?
    Best regards,
    Florian

    Hi Srini,
    I used the following work around:
    Instead of using one image UI control that has many images in the Control Properties -> Image tab (all with their respective visibility condition), I used many image UI controls with just one image each (and visibility condition 'true'), stacked them on top of each other, and used the 'hidden' property of the image control instead to select which image is displayed
    Hope that helps, best regards,
    Florian

  • Need help brainstorming a tricky IMAGE issue

    Hi,
    I've been trying to figure out a simple way around an issue, but as i simply cannot come up with an answer, i thought I'd put it out to the community to see if i can get some ideas back.
    I'm putting a Mobile game together, and I'm still establishing the foundations of it. One element is the idea of having all creatures and character to be able to look different. To this end, my proposal is to have a set of various frames of say different creatures, and with other items (like armour and weapons) in matching poses. For example, You would have say a person running in 4 frames. For each frame, there is a matching set of clothes frames for each pose. One coule be normal clothes, and another armour so when the character is wearing normal clothes, the system would draw to the screen the naked character and then place the clothes over the top. Proper transparency (using the PNG alpha channel) makes this masking effect work as it should and it seems to work okay here.
    Here is the problem. What i want to do is to be able to represent say, a hiding creature as being partially transparent wether through alpha blending or dithering. I have put an efficient class together than can quickly resize and recolour any image and draw it to the screen, and can also modify the transparency via either alpha blending or dithering. Here is the issue: This will NOT work when building the characters onto the screen! the problem if no-one notices here is lets say you then make the system draw the person at 50% opacity to the screen.Great, it works, but now we need to put the clothers on top so we draw THAT at 50% transparency. Uh-oh... Because the clothers are transparent, we get an artifact of the naked character shining through the clothers we just placed on top. So, the solution WOULD be simple: create an offscreen image for buffering, draw the character to it, then draw the results to the screen at 50% opacity... WRONG. The only Mutable off-screen image you can make is one filled with white pixels! Useless: we get an ugly white box around the character.
    The only two solutions i can think of are the following:
    1) Take a snapshot of the box around where we intend to draw the character. This should capture the background. We now build the character onto the screen as we normally would but if we want to make them transparent, we then paste the original background image over the top at a sertain opacity. I see problems with this being a) The design on the game is already very lean on memory requirements. I have built my own image handling classes that only load stuff when needed and discards it when no longer needed and also block wasteful reloading of images into memory, but having to always take a snapshot of a box around a character prior to drawing will slow it all down immensly.
    2) the class i use for transformations, recolouring and resizing does so by copying the image data into an array and then manipulating it. I've designed it very well so that it only ever holds one image at a time and loading a new image into it uses the same array and thus, never creates a new array in memory and then relying on the Garbage collector to reclaim it. Using this, i could render the characters to it, and then draw it to screen but the problem as i see it is that this would be very processor intensive and would most likely slow the entire system down.
    Naturally, the ideal solution is to draw to an offscreen image buffer and go from there, but i think the only way to do that is to use the BufferedImage which is on an API that isn't widely available (at least, it's not on my phone and it is pretty new). I need this to be as compatible as possible, so i don't want to access any optional API's i don't need to. I would prefer to be able to do this transparency trick, but if i can't, i guess i would have to find another way to represent a hiding character in the game (I guess a Black silouette).
    Any help, hints or ideas would be greatly appreciated!

    Okay, imagine you have a character running. The whole purpose of my design idea is to have it so the characters look different based on the gear they are equipped with (+Image a common game like Neverwinter nights, or WoW. Your character looks different based on what they are equipped with and no, I am not trying to create a game of that scale on a Mobile phone+). Naturally, the character isn't a static figure, so they move, run, attack and so fourth. My plan is to have a set of character frames in all the different frames, and matching clothes and equipment frames matching each cell (+we KNOW where their arm will be in the 2nd frame of a run-right action, so we would position say, a shield in the right spot. A clever appraoch is to be taken here for example, a right handed person would weild their shield in their left hand, and if they are running right, the shield would appear behind them and would be facing out, so the system would draw it in the order of "Left_Hand_Item->Character_in_the_Nude->Clothes_for_the_Character->Right_Hand_Item". Simple mirroring can handle any left/right directions as the frames for running in the different directions are also mirrored+). Essentially, the look of the character would need to be built on a per-frame basis. I am hessitant to build all of the frames of the character in memory at load time as I have the following action factors:
    - The character can face in 8 directions being all the diagonals, Vertical and horizontal directions.
    - The character needs the following actions to be available: Running, Standing, Dying -> On the ground (+This also counts falling down or sleeping+), Attacking / Swinging, Ranged attacks (+bow and arrow+).
    - To at least offer some kind or animateable look, there should be at least 2 frames for each action.
    As you can see, there is quite a lot. The approach i have already taken is fairly powerful. I decided to scrap the Java Sprites as it couldn't do what i needed it to do so i created my own caching system. A special MAP file stores the information on all the frames, and another class retrieves this on demand from the file, but only takes certain chunks. A initial class manages file access and loads the entire image into memory, and another uses this class to extract the frame it wants. When the other class is finished, the file-opening class then drops the full file from memory and attempts to reclaim the used memory. So far, it works well. The reason i have taken this appraoch is there is just too much data to have it all laoded into memory, it has to be done on demand and store as little information as possible. If i can represent 5 different characters by using a combination of other frames, i should have excellent results. I am trying to find a good balance between memory consumption and CPU usage. So, in a long winded answer:
    --There are a LOT of frames that may need to be transparent at any one time.
    --The amount of memory I'll need is still in the air at this point. As i build it, I am keeping a hawk-like eye on memory consumption and watching for anything being wasted (+using boolean where possible, If i don't need the capacity of an int, i use byte instead, etc+). This incidently ran me into the strong desire to utilize unsigned values as i don't need negatives anywhere, but I will have to live with that wasted bit.
    --I am aware that not all devices support Alpha blending which is why I also aim to support dithering. For example at 50% transparency, more than half the pixels are fully transparent (+Some may already be transparent, so we're not going to go and make them visible!)+
    --The transparent character is used to represent a character that is hiding. For example, you may have an Ally character being stealthy, so to make sure YOU the player can still see them, but represent clearly that they are in a special state, i wanted them to be transparent. Also, if there is an enemy stealthing, but you have detected them. I need to be able to represent that they have indeed been detected and that they can be seen, but they are still trying to be stealthy. So yes, one substitute would be to make them entirely black pixels and maybe even just draw the naked character black without any armour or equipment as a stealthing character would assume reduced detail.

  • Acrobat 9 Standard Image Issues using Word 2007

    Hi,
    I have just purchased and installed Acrobat 9 Standard on an XP Pro machine with Office 2007.
    Using the Acrobat add in (PDFMaker?) I am having issues with images (specifically graphs), they are coming out with the text upside down and no graph data inside the axis.
    I have tried using Distiller by saving to file as a PS and then opening and converting in Distiller which produces the graphs fine but doesnt add bookmarks - manually adding the bookmarks is not an option.
    I would be happy with a solution using either of the adobe technologies.
    Thanks,
    Adrian

    Unfortunately that isn't really possible, the data is sensitive. I can try and explain it better though....
    Here is an example of the kind of graph (chromatogram) that we might put in a Word doc:
    http://www.wcaslab.com/gif/EPA556chromatogram.gif
    When that is PDFd the graph content is gone:
    http://www.business-analysis-made-easy.com/image-files/xy-axis.gif
    and the individual axis numbers are upside down, but still in the right order. So if the Y-Axis reads:
    1.0
    0.8
    0.6
    0.4
    then it would read:
    upside down 1.0
    upside down 0.8
    upside down 0.6
    etc etc
    Hopefully that explains a little better.

  • HT5927 Using apple configurator with supervised devises, enabling iCloud/ find my iOS device (after being supervised), backing up that supervised / find my iPhone enabled image, --issue; unable to apply back up to any iOS device (including the orign. devi

    Senario:
    Need to manage 500 Enterprise iPads
    Requirements;
    1) Trackable via Find my iOS device  (we have 500 iPads and with the 100 device limit per iCloud account for Find my iOS device limit we have 5+ iCloud accounts).
    2) Individually named iPads for locating and sending commands to wipe, lost mode, etc.. on map per Find my iOS device (we uniquely name them in Apple Configurator either by using the "sequensetially numbering feature", or by creating individual back ups (yes, 450) with the name specified in the image).
    3) Find my iOS device feature enabled in base Prepared or Supervised image (using one of our 5+ iCloud accounts) (image can be created during prepared stage, or in supervised stage) - tried both and have the same issue - which I am getting to...
    4) VPP codes for paid apps (all VPP codes purchased with generic account which is the Apple Admin account for VPP purchases). Apple Configurator is set up under a different/ unique Apple account (i.e. not VPP admin account) and not logged into iTunes for any purchases/ services).
    Issue: Can not do any following senarios;
    A)
         1) configure master iOS 7 iPad with iCloud account with Find my iOS feature enabled in Prepare stage (added during preparing stage)
         2) configure master iOS 7 iPad with iCloud account with Find my iOS feature enabled in Supervised stage (added after supervising, and then backing up that supervised and iOS Find my iOS device enabled)
    B) 1) Apply master image to any Supervised iPad (under senario step A) or senario step B)), including the (Supervised or/ Prepared iPad that was used to create the maset iOS 7 image
    Result = fail with Apple generic code "4" ; This is obviously due to Find my iOS device feature enabled during image capture.
    According to Apple (see Apple Config. Help) the 'Activation lock' (new feature in iOS 7) will not be enabled on a supervised device when an iCloud account with "Find my iDevice" is enabled. Their "help files" seem to imply after the device is Supervised, and a person (presumably and end user) adds thier own iCloud account with Find my iOS device enabled the activation lock is not enabled and erasing/ reconfiguring with Apple Configurator will not cause reimaging probhlems such as requiring the end user's credentials to reconfigure the device using Apple Configurator (i.e. you won't need the end user's credentials).
    Needed: To be able to configure Supervised iPads with iCloud account (Enterprised owned iCloud account) configured on the basse image, which has Find my iOS device enabled, and to be able to apply that base image to all Enterprise iPads without generic apple error code 4 issue.

    Hi all
    I am trying to replicate these steps in my environment but I am having trouble getting an iCloud backup restored to a supervised device. Can someone clarify the steps? The parts I am unsure on are:
    1) Do you Prepare in Configurator with all the institution owned apps? Or do you install them after restoring the iCloud backup?
    2) After entering the personal AppleID to restore the iCloud backup, the setup wizard prompts for the Institution/Configurator AppleID, there is an option to 'Skip Now'. Do you enter in the password for the institution account? or do you skip that step?
    3) What exactly is on the screen in the 'mini setup assistant' after the restore when you Refresh with Configurator?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

  • OS 10.4.4, iLife 6 and Background images issue

    I upgraded my Mac from 10.4.3 to 10.4.4 (with Automatic Updates) and the same day purchased and installed the iLife 6.0 package (that updated the 5.x version that came with my Mac).
    A day or 2 later I decided to change the background photos on my displays. I had been using photos from my iPhoto library and as I scrolled around looking for appropriate pictures and trying them out System Preferences quit on me. I had to restart in order to bring back the ability to alter the background images. Other programs and operations remained unaffected but I was unable to bring up the "Change Background Image" option on the contextaul menu until I restarted the computer. iPhoto was not running at the time. I restarted the computer and the same issue cropped up several more times, always after scrolling thru and trying several images.
    These problems never occurred with 10.4.3 or before or iPhoto 5 or before. I don't know if the problem is with iPhoto or not, but I assume that there is interaction between System Preferences and iPhoto, or at least that System Preferences uses the iPhoto database files.
    Any ideas?
    TIA!

    (I thought the hardware listing was posted with the thread...)
    Hardware:
    PM G5 Dual 2.7, 2.5GB RAM, ATI Radeon 9650 with 256 MB VRAM, and 2 LCD Cinema Displays (1 23 In and the other 20 Inch). Both Cinema Displays are set to the maximum resolution (1920x1200 and 1680x1050).

  • Acrobat 9 Converting DOC to PDF Image Issues

    Just a little background:
    I am running Windows XP Pro, Microsoft Office 2007 and Acrobat 9 Pro.
    I have several .doc files that contain text and images. When converting the .doc file into a PDF sometimes the images become distorted, moved around (the image itself inside of the pixels not moved around the .doc)or possibly even big white stripes going through it.
    The text formatting is ok and everything seems the same as if I looked in the .doc file. I have noticed that if the file contains one or two pictures they do not get distorted but if it contains more then that they sometimes get distorted and sometimes now.
    Any clues to what could be causing the issue?

    If you are missing the PDF option in MS Office 2007, you may
    download a plug-in from MS to create a PDF without Acrobat, go
    to the MS article search page and do a search, or go to the MS
    Office update page and search for the file to download

    General Acrobat Problem Steps
    If you are having problems creating a PDF, there are two steps you should do FIRST
    Go to the appropriate vendor web site and apply all updates to the program you are using (several recent messages have concerned problems with MS Office conversion, with the response that different versions of Office have different BUGS that must be fixed by a download from Microsoft - and MS Office products are not the only ones which may, from time to time, need to be updated to work properly)
    Apply all updates IN NUMBER ORDER
