Ichat isn't working... won't connect to AIM???PLEASE HELP

For the past three days my ichat has not been working. At first it would not connect and I kept getting the message "Could not connect to AIM(xxx) :The connection could not be completed because it timed out or I would get host refused connection.*" I waited a day to try again and got the same problem. I also changed my port to 443 and i was able to sign in but not able to video chat. If anyone could help me with this problem i would really appreciate it. ( I am working with a newly bought MacBook pro with ichat version 4.0.8 (619) if that will be any help )

Hi,
Welcome to the  Discussions
Which Setting are you using in System Preferences > Security > Firewall ?
Do Not Use Allow Essentials as iChat is not an Essential App.
Have you set up your routing device to allow the ports iChat uses ?
Port 443 for the Login should work as it is below the 1024 threshold (ports are open up to this number)
Video chatting uses ports above this number.
If it is a routing device that appears to be the issue please tell us make and model and version number so we can direct you further.

Printer won't connect to laptop - Please help asap!

I've connected my printer to the internet, done all the steps that the useless desktop dr or whatever it's called has told me to do, (including uninstalling/reinstalling various different things, restarted printer and laptop, turned router on and off etc) and it still won't connect!
I've got my final deadline in a week and I honestly have no idea what to do anymore, and since I can't actually find anywhere to contact HP on here, I'm begging anyone for some help?
I've set it as default, it's printing "test pages" with no problems, it just will not connect to the laptop (Dell, Windows).
Thank you

Please provide the following relevant information so someone can help including:
Printer Model -
Detailed Problem Description -
Operating System of computer (including service pack revision) -
Connection Method - USB, Hardwired LAN, Wireless? -
Make and model of router and modem? -
Error messages - on printer screen and/or computer, any blinking light patterns?

IPod won't connect and charge--Please Help

hey all. I've had my video iPod for a while. Here's the problem: it was recently connected to a random windows PC, and now it won't work. It was fully charged last I knew, and when I tried to use it it wouldn't turn on. Rather than doing that, it would show the apple logo, then light up, then turn off and one of the two battery charge signals would appear (those being the large one and the smaller more modern looking one). I've connected it to two other computers, one being a windows laptop, and I've recently realized that the computer (any of the three) no longer realizes that there is a hardware connected. If anyone can please help I'd greatly appreciate it.

I hav a 30g video ipod aswell and am having a similar problem. I connected it to a friends computer who did not have I tunes and it my ipod froze and has never connected to my computer since. This was about 6 months ago. It will not charge on my computer, in fact my computer does not even recognize that there is anything connected to it.
I have tried resetting but that has done nothing, if anyone has any suggestions I would love to hear them. Thanks!

L7680 Can't connect via Network works fine direct connected via USB Please Help!

Greetings All,
I have an HP L7680 that has been having this same problem since I purchased it and the only cure that has ever worked is to completley reload Windows XP and start over which I am very tired of reloading XP to resolve a printer problem.
This has been posted by several other people but I don't see where anyone has posted a fix.
When I first install the printer everything usualy works fine and it runs fine for a few mionths. Then the first indicatrion of a problem is the scanner quits working. Then when I try to reinstall the software the printer does not show up. I read and tried every solution and have spent nuerous hours with HP support to no avail.
The printer works fine direct connected via a USB cable and it works fine with two other computers on the same network. One of the other computers has the exact same OS and is the same HP model laptop.
I don't think the uninstall is completley removing all the files or reinstalling everything fresh when I reload. I have tried the Level 1 through 4 uninstall utility posted on HP's site and have tried all sugestions posted in this forum.
Below is a better rundown of the problem.
When the Scan function is called, a "Scanning" window appears, and hangs
I have an HP Laptop with XP32 Bit software
Once the scanning window appears it stays there forever
Only way to clear scanning page is to terminate hpoews01.exe with Task Manager
Scanner does not show up in Paint or Photoshop ect.
Web Scan Does work and printer shows up using IP address.
Scanner shows up fine on a web page
HP support in India has been no help and now my printer is out of warranty so even less help
Thank you,
Dave

I had a similar problem with my OfficeJet L7680 and here's how I fixed it.
18APR10 - from Dan
     I lost my L7680 network link (using CAT5 from printer to router) and could not print to it over the network. However, I could print from a PC with a USB cable directly to the printer, but there are currently three PCs connected wireless to the network.  I think I have a viable solution for anyone with the same problem and is not related to the operating system of the PCs.
     Originally, I went to the HP site and downloaded the program for the L7680, Critical Update to Enhance Reliability of Network and USB Connectivity and Improve System Responsive.... This worked wonders until my modem and/or router went down. I could see ink levels from my PC, scan, print, and so on. Then I somehow lost my network connection again. When I checked the network settings on the L7680 printer panel (Setup, 5 - Network, 1 - View Network Settings, 2 - Display Wired Settings), I noticed a different IP address than the original 192.168.1.100. Once I figured out how to reset the printer to that one, it connected and worked as it should.
    Here's how to reset it: 1. Power down all devices (wired and wireless) to the router (I even disconnected the printer power cord and CAT5 cable at the printer); 2. Power down the modem and router - wait a minute or so before powering back up; 3. Power up the modem and give it a minute or so to go through system checks, which will normally acquire a new IP address from your ISP; 4. Power up the router and let it go through its system checks; 5. Connect the CAT5 cable from the printer to the router and power it up before you power up and connect any other computers. This should assign the printer the first IP address from the router, which should be 192.168.1.100. Once the printer goes through its start-up checks, you can check its assigned IP address from its panel. 6. Power up any other PCs or devices to the router. They should be assigned successive IP address numbers from the router. You can check these using a browser in the PC after typing in 192.168.1.1, logging in to the router, and checking the appropriate place in the router driver/software displayed in the browser. I was not able to reassign IP addresses in my router's driver/software to individual devices, but this method did the trick. I did not try to change the IP address of the printer from its panel to match what had been inadvertently reassigned to it. That might be another option to synchronize the printer and router with the same IP address. If the printer loses its connection again, you'll have to synchronize what the printer has with what the router shows. This worked for me.

HT1695 i've recently got an iphone, and i did the starting questions i've connected to the wifi, but i won't activate. it also won't connect to itunes, please help

i got an iphone the other day and when i started it up i answered the language questions and i've connected it to the wifi. just when i click next it wont activate, it's unable to connect to itunes as well, please help me

First things first, You need to update your wifi security settings. If its set at WEP, then change to WAP2. If its already set that way, then you need to make sure iTunes is up to date on your computer, then update your software.

TS1702 If one of my apps has info on it and I uninstall it and reinstall it because it isn't working will everything be erased ? Please help it's my garage band app I've made songs on there and I'm afraid they'll get deleted if I reinstall the app after I

Please can someone help me with a problem I'm having with my garage band app?
Not to long ago I was using my garage Band app and I was making some songs when all of a sudden it closed on me I was so mad because I was in the middle of making a song so I never got to save it , so I continued to try to open the app again but now all it does is it seems to get ready to open but then it shuts off without even opening . I went to trouble shooting and have done everything except for uninstalling the app reason why is I'm afraid of all my work on there will be deleted and I won't be able to get it back.
I only know just a little about iPads mine is and ipad2 and I need someone's help is there a way for me to fix this without erasing the work I've done on there. And or should I just wait for garage band to have an update on the App Store and update it without deleting it? Please I don't now what to do.
If someone could walk me through what is wrong what I need to do and how etc.
thank you
Your fellow apple customer
Simachyahi .

I have tried all those things I even updated the software to the new iOS system and it still did fix my problem.
What happened is that my garage band looks like it will open then it shuts down.
I have lot of important things on my garage band and I'm afraid that if I uninstall it deleting it then reinstalling it all my work on it will be gone and I can't have that happen.
Everyday I am hoping that when i go to open the app that is will work but it doesn't it gets ready to turn on then it shuts off , the app doesn't even open all the way and turns off.
I really hope I don't have to erase it.
It'll say it's ,lading my songs then it shuts down .
If I waited for the App Store to come up with an update for garage band should I wait till then to update my app so it doesn't get damaged . I don't want to erase it and all my data get erased . I figured if I wait for an update then my garage band will reset itself but won't delete my data. I'm not sure if that will help. Is there anything you or anyone else might know that can help me with this matter ?
Thank you
Simachyahi

If you're trying to connect to a Bonjour server on the remote network, that won't work over a layer 3 VPN. Use something like Hamachi or one of the SSH-tunnelling Bonjour proxy apps for that.

I upgrades my mac operating system to OSX 10.9.4 and now my Dreamweaver CS5 won't work, it just quits unexpectedly. Please help.

Remove preferences on Mac OS
Quit Dreamweaver.
In the Finder, navigate to /Users/Your User Name/Library/Application Support/Adobe.
Rename the Dreamweaver preferences folder:
Dreamweaver CS5: Rename the Dreamweaver CS5 folder to, for example, Old Dreamweaver CS5.
Navigate to /Users/Your User Name/Library/Preferences.
Rename the Dreamweaver preferences file:
Dreamweaver CS5: Rename the Adobe Dreamweaver CS5 Prefs file to, for example, Old Adobe Dreamweaver CS5 Prefs.
Try to re-create problem
After you have removed your existing preferences, restart Dreamweaver. The application creates new preferences files, folders, and registry entries, as applicable, using the default settings.
Then try to re-create the problem that you had before.
If the problem was resolved, then damaged preferences was the cause.
If the problem persists, then the preferences are not the cause and you can replace the original preferences.
To replace the original preferences:
Quit dreamweaver.
Delete the new preferences folder and restore the original name of the previous folder.

How do I add a playlist to iTunes Match so that it'll appear on my Apple TV? It was appeared on it before but ever since I added some CDs to the playlist, it won't show anymore. Please help.

How do I add a playlist to iTunes Match so that it'll appear on my Apple TV? It was appeared on it before but ever since I added some CDs to the playlist, it won't show anymore. Please help.

When new content is added to a playlist it has to be updated for it to be available across devices. If it's content that isn't matched the playlist is removed from the cloud. Did you make sure to access store - update iTunes Match? It should do it automatically after a few minutes but the odd time I have to force it.
Other than that may want to try reboot, log out/in.

itunes 11 freezes under windows 7 64-bit immediately and won`t do anything. Please help !

The first thing to do is make sure you are using the latest version of iTunes. Look on the Help/Check for updates menu option in iTunes, which will confirm that you have the latest version or enable you to download it.
The effective way to Sync the iPod is to add your songs to iTunes and then connect the iPod to iTunes after you have added your songs.
So if you have been connecting the iPod and then trying to add songs "to the iPod" - don't!
You add the music to iTunes and then sync the iPod with iTunes afterwards.
Next, try connecting the iPod to iTunes, if you get the "duplicate file message", can you post it here (exact wording please)?
Once you have the iPod connected to iTunes, click on the Device that appears on the left of the iTunes window. On the Device/Summary screen, choose (check) Sync only checked songs and videos. Providing the songs still have the check mark on in iTunes (the default when songs are added to iTunes), those songs will Sync with the iPod.
Notice the other options in additiion to Summary. Look on the Podcasts pane for the Sync option (to add Podcasts to your iPod) and also on the Photos pane for options for adding (or not) Photos to your iPod. If you change any of these options, you will need to press the Sync button afterwards for the changes to take effect.
Lastly (for now), you can only Sync the iPod with one iTunes library. If you try and Sync it with a second library on your computer, or with iTunes on another computer, all your previous songs etc will be removed and replaced with the new library.
A thought... could the duplicate file message be because you have two iTunes libraries on your machine?
