IChat No Longer Works With Expired MobileMe Trial Accounts?

In the past, you could use an expired .Mac (now MobileMe) trial account's username, to log into and use iChat. But I believe now that this no longer works. Apple must've changed the rules. Can anyone else confirm this? I haven't been able to use iChat for about a month now, logging in with an expired .Mac trial account username.

Have not heard of a expired .me not working.
Try logging on to AIM on port 443 rather than port 5190.
Go to IChat in the menu bar > Preferences > Accounts.
Log out of AIM and then use the Server Settings tab
Set the port to 443.
Log back in again.
might be worth a try .
"change your user login setting to AIM, do not use .MAC setting
in user name field, type your full user name. example : [email protected]
it will not appear the password incorrect error."

Video ichat no longer working with a new ISP

Hiya, I have read pages and pages of these posts and I am still none the wiser. I used to be able to video ichat with my old ISP but I can't with my new one. Audio and text work fine.
I have changed my quicktime streaming settings
I have disabled my firewall
I have gone to portforwarding.com and done the port forwarding thing (I think, I am not that technical)
I am using a fixed IP - my airport is using 192.168.7.3, my DSL router 192.168.7.1
I can ichat video fine from work (as long as it's not to my wife when she is at home)
I have tried to ichat to other people who have ichated succesfully to their friends
I have called my ISP and they assure me that no ports are being blocked
I am using the latest version of Tiger and ichat on a brand new MacBook Pro (wow this thing is fast), but my older Powerbook laptop can't connect either.
Can anyone help?
MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.6) ichat 3.1.4

Hi Russell,
Most of the devices listed here can be made to work with iChat
http://portforward.com/routers.htm
However I would tend to stick to the bigger names.
AT this stage MIMO and Pre-N devices (the ones with the extra antennas and the ones trying to predict the 802.11N wireless protocol) as iChat seems to have soem problems with them.
Things like the Linksys WRT54G has routing and UPnP capabilities. The Netgear DG834G and it's variants are also popular. (D-Links seem to be a bit odd as set ups vary and they do not always have UPnP)
Thomson/Alcatel Speedtouch devices need to be on Version 4 firmware (No higher than 4.2.9) and not Version 5 or 6 (or the 4.3.x version that is really version 5 re-written for earlier devices). These Alcatels need the SIP Unbound from port 5060 that I was talking about.
See Mine in the white box just out of site http://www.ralphjohnsuk.dsl.pipex.com/page4.html#_text
What you have to look in to at this stage is whether the ISP is blocking port 5060 for it's own VoIP service. It it is it will not matter what modem you get.
As I said before in some cases it may be the device itself and we may be able to do soemthing about that.
http://www.ralphjohnsuk.dsl.pipex.com/page4.html#_text Scroll down to the White box with text in it.
Apple have this list http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93333
These are supposed to work Out of the Box which is not the same as Can Work with iChat.

Ichat no longer works with snow leopard

i recently installed Snow Leopard on my macbook pro and ever since, when I try to open iChat, a window opens and says "You can't use this version of the application iChat with this version of Mac OS X. You have iChat 4.0.8. I thought that the new version would have installed with Snow Leopard. What do I need to do?

Hi,
Go to the Applications folder.
Do you have two versions of iChat in there ?
If so, Click on to Highlight it.
Use the Apple Key (CMD) and I key together (Get Info)
In the panel that pops up what version number is it ?
What is the version number of the other one ?
If one is iChat 5 and one is iChat 4, drag the current iCon for iChat Off the DOCK and let go. (Puff of Smoke animation)
Drag the iChat 5 icon to the DOCK (It does not move the App just links to it.)
If you only have iChat 4 then post back and let us know as there will be more steps.
Please note the time of my post as I may not reply for some time.

PP CS6 no longer works with AME

Premier Pro CS6 no longer works with AME. I queue from Premier and AME launches with file in Queue. I press Render button, it starts processing and after 15 seconds I get an error message that Media Encoder stopped working. I'm using CS6 from creative cloud on Win 8. Apparently I can export video without problem directly from Premier. Any ideas how to fix this?

Function keys no longer working with a new keyboard...

I got a new keyboard and my function keys no longer work with it. I am used to have them used in the standard format, i.e. F10-F12 control the voume, etc. I have the "Use all f1,f2, etc." button clicked. I have also tried restarting my computer. Any thoughts?

Try doing a SMC reset and PRAM reset.
SMC RESET
Shut down the computer.
Unplug the computer's power cord and all peripherals.
Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.
Release the power button.
Attach the computers power cable.
Press the power button to turn on the computer.
PRAM RESET
Shut down the computer.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.

Hello, I've updated the iPhone I have got I have a problem I hope you respond to some of the applications no longer work, such as the safari and skype and many applications are no longer working with the ios7.0.4

Hello, I've updated the iPhone I have got I have a problem I hope you respond to some of the applications no longer work, such as the safari and skype and many applications are no longer working with the ios7.0.4

Standard troubleshooting...
1. Try a Restart by pressing the sleep/lock button until you see the slider. Slide to power off. Restart by pressing the sleep/lock button until you see the Apple logo.
2. Try a Reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.
3. Remove apps from Recently Used (multi-tasking) list...
- From any Home Screen, double tap the home button to bring up the Recents List
- Swipe up on the app preview card to remove it from the list
- Press the home button when done.
4. If still a problem restore with your backup.
5. If still a problem restore as new, i.e. without your backup. See how it runs with nothing synced to it.
6. If still a problem, it's likely a hardware issue.

Bluetooth No Longer Working With Headset

I have a Motorola bluetooth headset that I've used with my ibook before without a hitch, but when I screwed up OS X and reinstalled it (note: reinstalled the operating system, but didn't format) it no longer works with the headset. I can connect to it just fine, but if I try to use it for anything such as switch my audio output to the headset, the program will freeze - same applies to using the headset for input. The headset isn't broken as it works fine with my phone, but my ibook won't cooperate and they are paired correctly. Is their someway to reinstall the bluetooth drivers or something to that extent? Thanks

If you have a headset, why use Raise to speak? Kinda defeats the purpose of the headset.
Press and hold the button on your headest to call up Siri.

Firefox no longer working with Mac OSX 10.4.11

i'm using Mac OSX 10.4.11 and Firefox 3.6.12. As i understand it any of ur upgrades no longer work with this computer system.

When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
(1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
Use Cmd+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
(You also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
Firefox > Preferences > Advanced
On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now")
(2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first). While viewing a page on the site:
Tools > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
Then try reloading the page. Does that help?
If you open about:crashes, you should get links to online crash reports. You could post some of the crash IDs for review by volunteers here.
Given the timing, another issue might be some ads or media in the page. There are some add-ons to block such things...

Why does my ipod no longer work with my alpine car stereo

my ipod connects directly to my alpine car stereo and up til now it has worked great. i recently synced my ipod to my computer and i think it updated the software on my ipod and now my ipod no longer works with my alpine stereo. what is up? did apple change something that would make my ipod no longer compatible with my car stereo? if so, what do i do? i have about $1000 invested in my car stereo and ipod specifically for car use. this is a serious issue for me! i just want my ipod to work like it did…
i just connected my friends ipod and it works fine. he has version 1.1.1 software on his. i have version 2.3 on mine. since my ipod works fine by itself i’m assuming that the incompatibility between my ipod and my alpine is due to the software update.
here again, what do i do? how can i get an older version of software back on to my ipod?
ipod v.2.3 Mac OS X (10.4.9)

what kind of connection do you have? do you use the ipod 30 pin cable that connects directly to the head unit? it so, maybe you could get help on the alpine site, or a similar site?it could just be a bad connection. you may just have to go oldschool and use rca cables and plug those in...

Ipod out no longer works with iOS 6.1

As the title suggests, after updating my iPhone 5 to iOS 6.1 the iPod out function no longer works with connected devices. With the previous version, I could hook up my Kenwood car stereo using the lightning to 30 pin adapter and the stereo would "Read" my iPhone and begin playing the first track of my music collection. I also had song, artist and playlist search support.
Now, all I get is a constant "Reading" indicator and can't get past this point.
Is anyone else having any experiences similar to this and does anyone have any suggestions to fix it?
Thanks

Try this.
Go to Settings>General>Date and Time>Set Automatically>Off.
Set the date one year ahead. Try to get email.
If you get an error message, go back to the settings. Correct the date and time (set automatically) then go back and try to get email again.

My iPad Mini with retina display suddenly will not connect to the Internet. It shows full wifi bars, yet no web pages will load. My Internet is working with all other apple devices in my house. The iPad also no longer works with celluar data. I'm not sure what has happened. It was working fine a few hours ago. I have tried resetting it, ive restarted my browser etc. I tried to erase all data from my Ipad but I can't do that because it needs to sign into my Apple ID and use the Internet!

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are drooping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

I have a ibook G4 which has become redundant as my phone will no longer work with the version of itunes installed (latest it can use), how can I back up my phone to transfer to a new computer (a PC now)?

My iphone 4s (7.1.1) will no longer work with my ibook G4 which is running 10.5.8. I have a PC which i'm now going to have to use, I've manually transferred my music and photos, but how do I go about transferring my contacts and calenders. What does itunes on PC sync to in terms of contacts and calenders?
Thanks!
