IChat not connecting on new macbook

Hi, just bought a new macbook (Black) 2ghz 1gb ram, intel core 2 duo, can't get it to connect ichat at all, just keeps saying "connecting" but never does!! I am connecting through AIM and have a BT Home Hub, all which works fine on the iMac I have. Can someone help me as I am selling my iMac and need to get the ichat up and running on this new macbook? Cheers in advance. Baz. Belfast. Northern Ireland.

Hi Baz_belfast,
Either make sure it has the latest firmware (6.2.2 I think) or if you are not using the VoIP phone side ask BT to change it to a BT Voyager 2500

  • Monitor not connecting to new MacBook Pro

    HHi there,
    i have a new MacBook pro with the hdmi output.
    i Tried connecting this to the Mac by getting a dvi to hdmi cable.
    the monitor was working fine with my old Mac (dvi to thunderbolt adapter) but for some reason my monitor does not like the new Mac.
    any suggestions?
    i Have attached the 2 to compare, sorry about the darkness...
    thanks

  • IPhone does not connect to new Macbook Air 2013

    Greating from Brazil,
      I have an iPhone 4 and have always used to the USB cable to connect it to my macs. It works perfectly fine in onther 4 macbooks: one macbook white 2007, one macbook pro 2010 and a macbook air 2012.
      Now I have the brand new macbook air 2013 and the iPhone is the only USB device I can not connect to it (all my external hard drives, wireless headphone work just fine). What happens is that when I connect the iPhone, it repeatly plays the sound as if it was connected, then it plays the sound as if it was disconnected.
      What could I do to make it work?
    Thanks

  • Bigpond Wireless Broadband USB Modem not connecting in new Macbook Pro

    Hi,
    I have recently bought one of the latest Macbook Pros and used Migration Assistant to transfer data from my older Macbook. On the older laptop I used a Tesltra Bigpond 7.2 Wireless USB Modem and it connected and worked fine (using default settings and the telstra connection software), however after plugging it into the newer laptop it has been behaving srangely.
    Initially it worked fine for about a day, then kept stating that 'The PPP serever could not be found' - I changed the network settings a bit, uninstalled and redownloaded the software and registered the computer. It worked again for about a day then stopped connecting again. Again, the software manager was uninstalled and reinstalled and again it worked for about a day; however it has stopped working completely now and refuses to even be found by the computer. To make it more complicating, it isnt the modem because it works fine in the old computer still!
    I have a feeling it may have sonething to do with the APN address but I'm not 100% sure.
    Any help to fix this would be greatly appreciated!! Thankyou in advance

    Yes you are right it works fine outside your mac notebook. But it is incompatible once installed inside the system.
    Simple do a google search for "WD blue series drives in mac notebooks" and see what comes up.
    I am not lying to you about the problems. You have first hand knowledge that with some mac notebooks the WD blue drives don't work.

    WD blue is compatible according to the manufacturer's specifications.

  • Any issues connecting the new MacBook to LCD projector with VGA adapter?

    I do presentations on the road using my old MacBook with whatever LCD I find when I get there. I run Keynote with lots of video clips in my presentations. I carry a Mini-DVI to VGA adapter. Most often it works fine.
    I was hoping to update to the new MacBook, but I'm concerned about the display issues on the discussion board.
    Has anyone had any experience connecting the new MacBook using Mini DisplayPort to VGA Adapter?

    I received my MB (aluminium) 2.0 in early November, but only this week (2nd week December) have had a need to use it for a presentation via the Mini DisplayPort --> VGA adapter.
    I thought I could use it just as I did my previous (white 1.83 MacBook) laptop, but this one is a bit quirkier. Plugging in the adapter cable results in a system freeze. Unplugging the cable will restore mouse control (unfreezing the computer) in most instances, but not all.
    Turns out that in order to use an external VGA connection, I need to have the adapter plugged in and restart the machine. If the external display is not present from boot, then it freezes.
    This is unlike my previous MacBook, in which I could plug-unplug willy-nilly. The screen would flash blue a couple of times and all would be fine, with the external extended display detected and functioning. This was one of those nice "Mac" things that my Windows-using colleagues were somewhat jealous of, as they constantly have trouble getting their laptops to recognize the LCD projector.
    Sadly, it looks like I'm now living in their world...

    One of these should work, depending on the projector. Just note both will not allow you to play protected movies on the projector.

  • How to connect my new MacBook Air to a LaCie hard disk with TIme Capsule backup from my old Imac? LaCie has USB 2.0, FireWire and eSata ports.

    How can I connect my new MacBook Air to a LaCie hard disk with TIme Capsule backup from my old Imac? LaCie has USB 2.0, FireWire and eSata ports.

    You can direct connect your MBA to the LaCie via USB 2 cable.  If you have an Apple Airport Router you can USB connect the LaCie drive to the router and then use Airport Utility to configure it.  Time Machine can access it either way.

  • Connect my new Macbook Pro with Mountain Lion to my HP PhotoSmart B210

    How can I connect my new MacBook Pro with Mountain Lion to my hp b210 printer?  My printer is about 1.5 years old and works wirelessly just fine with my PC.  I just switched to mac.  The printer is supposed to be airprint compatible according to HP.  HP has no software drivers for me to download.  Instead they say to use Mac Software Update to get the software.  However, there are no updates when I try that.  I have tried adding the printer manually using it's IP address and can print a test page, but when I try to print using an application on the Mac it cannot find the printer or says the printer is in use.  Help!!!

    Are you sure it has no usb port?

  • I have connected my new Macbook Air to my existing Samsung large external monitor with a VGA adaptor but I can't get the full mac desktop to display. No icons but then websites are coming up. Help!

    I have connected my new Macbook Air to my existing Samsung large external monitor with a VGA adaptor but I can't get the full mac desktop to display. No icons but then websites are coming up. Help!  Further info:  I am a complete newbie to Mac.  Had three macs prior to 2000 then four PCs.  Just come back and struggling a bit with the unfamiliarity. On my old PC laptop I could simply switch from the laptop screen to the large external monitor (and back)  with the F4 function key.  While I can get the background image from my MBA to display, that's it.  Until I noticed on the far left of the external monitor, the very edge of one of the web pages I was on.  So Idragged it over to display in the centre.  But that's all that's there.  And now I have gone out of those web pages but they are still displaying on the monitor.  There is some wierd disconnect.  I'm sure it is just a setting thing.  Will keep searching for answer but any advice welcome!

    Your dsplay is getting extended onto the external monitor. Chcnage the setting to duplicate it or only display on the external monitor and you should be fine,
    Let me know if this worked for you.

  • Adobe CS4 will not install on new macbook pro [was: pro]

    Adobe CS4 will not install on new macbook pro. It is coming from my other macbook.

    Install normally means running setup from the orginal discs or the downloadable trial version. If you are copying from a backup or another computer, that won't work.
    Best advice is to download the CS4 trial, and have your serial number ready in order to convert the trial into a licensed version.
    Get the trial here. Follow the instructions carefully or the download link won't work.

  • LR 5 not working on new Macbook Pro.

    LR 5 not working on new Macbook Pro.  Have tried 2 CC downloads, 5.6 licensed download and 5.5 licensed download, all result in the same thing.  It comes up with basic screen but no panels and gives an error occurred when changing modules.  Nothing I've tried seems to help.  It also has says "get started with lightroom mobile at top left although it says it is Lr 5.6.  Anybody else having problems?  Calls to adobe result in no help and have to wait till Monday for some technical support.  Surely this should run on a NEW laptop with no other software installed!!!

    Install logs were fine.  Application installed but wouldn't run properly.  Finally got Adobe support and it turns out to be a file permissions error.  Had to add both applications and myself as accessors of Lightroom folder under path ~/Library/Adobe/  and set permissions to read & write (was read only for everything but system) and apply to all enclosed folders.   Runs fine now.  Including this here in case anyone else runs across this issue.

  • YOUTUBE NOT WORKING ON NEW MACBOOK PRO

    YOUTUBE NOT WORKING ON NEW MACBOOK PRO
    Every time I want to see videos from youtube the video player just says "your browser does not currently recognize any of the video formats available".
    Please help I have everything possible up to date.
    Thanks!

    It appears as if only some videos on YouTube will play using HTML5 and without Flash. For example, this video plays just fine for me and I do not have flash installed: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fxEWddT44BY
    So, unfortunately, you will have to install flash or wait for YouTube to fix their website.
    Also, one thing to try: When I had Flash installed and the "ClickToPlugin" Safari extension installed, YouTube would load all the movies in a simple HTML5 format. So no annotations or any other annoying stuff. Might be worth trying. You will have to install flash but, with the "ClickToPlugin" extension, you don't have to use Flash.

  • Samsung Omnia Mobile Phone does not connect to my MacBook Pro

    Hi guys. I am after some advice please.
    My Mac Book Pro is currently not allowing me to browse my Samsung Omnia phone by bluetooth.
    It has worked previously however, it is not now. It recognises that the phone is there but when it comes to connecting it says "The connection failed or closed" - Would you like to attempt to reconnect or close this window?
    I do not know how to get this to work and I cannot use the USB transfer wire as it is not compatible with Apple Macs.
    I have some photos and files I would like to transfer over however, I cannot do so.
    Any help much appreciated please.

    Hi Elizaanne,
    I understand you are having issues with HP Officejet 6700 Premium not connect to your  Macbook Pro.
    Sometimes the router needs to be cycled.  I would unplug the router, turn off printer, turn off computer.
    Turn back on router wait 5 min and turn on printer and computer.
    Check on the printer if Wifi is SOLID.
    From System Preferences, open Print and Fax or Print and Scan pane. If you see the printer listed
    Click remove printer-  button. It will ask for confirmation of delete printer.
    Click the Add or + button, select the printer Bonjour Multifunction not Fax. Adding that should update the drivers.
    If the Printer Wifi is not solid you will have to set it up again.
    Press the Power button to turn on the printer.
    Touch the Right Arrow to display the second navigation screen.
    Touch Setup , and then touch Network .
    Touch Wireless Setup Wizard
    Then add it to you Mac 10.7. 
    I hope this helps.
    Please feel free to contact me if you require further assistance.
