IChat not working with Tiger user

I recently received a new Macbook with Leopard already installed on it. I have 2 friends who also own Macbooks, who I iChat with.
One of my friends received her Macbook when Leopard just came out, so she had Tiger on it previously . The other friend has had her Macbook longer, and does not have Leopard, just Tiger.
When attempting to start an iChat with the friend with Tiger, it would not work. The weird thing about it though is that it has worked a few times before, if we kept trying and I found if I restarted my computer.
However, now the friend that previously had Tiger had problems with her Macbook and received a brand new one with Leopard already on it. Now it does not work for her to start an iChat with the Tiger user, although she had no problems with her old computer.
Sorry it's confusing!
But in conclusion, it seems that iChat is not working between a Leopard and Tiger user. The confusing part is that we have gotten it to work before...so I'm really not sure what the problem is.
What can we try to get this to work all the time, without her having to upgrade to Leopard?
I usually get an error response saying there was no data received for the last 10 seconds, and she gets different things about Bandwidth, and saying she cancelled the invitation when she didn't.
Thanks

Personally, I think it's Leopard that is at fault here. I had Tiger and my family and I would video iChat all the time. But then we downloaded Leopard. We discovered we could no longer video iChat.
My son used 4 different computers (all Macs of course), trying same network and different networks. What he discovered is that the ONLY way video iChat now works is if computers are on the same network. Well, how absurd, because the idea is to be able to video iChat with anyone, not just family members in the same household on the same network.
Apparently, somewhere, Apple (Leopard) bragged about their new improved iChat video on a network. Well, I think they forgot that not all of us are sitting in an office wanting to spend the time to iChat video with co-workers, but have friends and family in other areas we'd like to video iChat with.
So through a process of elimination, it all led back to Leopard as being the culprit, because Tiger to Tiger worked perfectly, and even Leopard to Tiger works IF you are on the same network.
I really do hope Apple supplies a FIX for this problem. I, for one, am VERY disappointed in the fact that I now have Leopard and can no longer video iChat with friends across the country.

Flash Player does not work with Standard User, but will work when browser is "Run as Administrator"

I don't understand why this is happening, but Flash Player will not work when a Standard User is using the browser. It will only work when the browser is run as an administrator. Any way to fix this? I've tried to uninstall, and reinstall the player, and it still wouldn't work.
The user is on Windows 7, 64-bit. Using IE 10.
Flash not working for Standard User - YouTube

Any update to provide at all here guys? Again, in my situation, it's very much rights-related as a standard user doesn't even report that the flash player exists when testing it on the Adobe Flash Version Detection website (despite it showing up in Control Panel and under Add/Remove Programs). I've already tried giving the C:\Windows\System32\Macromed and files/subfolders appropriate permissions for the standard user and still nothing. If I either give the user in question full local admin rights or logon as the domain admin, then the Adobe Flash Version Detection website says Flash is installed and Flash works fine.
Thoughts???

IChat not working with Open Directory users

I have a Mac Mini running Snow Leopard Server 10.6.1. It provides services like Address Book, iCal, iChat, Mobile Access, MySQL, Web, SMB, Push, etc... I named the server 'Alpha' with the hostname 'alpha.markhadjar.com'
I use DynDNS to help update my dynamic IP address with my ISP. They host my domain markhadjar.com. I created an 'A' record for markhadjar.com using my current IP. The DynDNS software client sends my current dynamic IP address and updates the record. I also created an alias for 'www'.
Airport Extreme port forwards the correct ports to the requested server providing those services.
All my users are listed in the Open Directory. My trouble is I can't seem to get iChat to work for the OD users. I get a connection error.
The jabber account i'm using is the [email protected] I use the server 'ichat.markhadjar.com' with port 5222 without SSL as I do not have a SSL certificate.
In the ichat settings of Server Admin, I specified ichat.markhadjar.com as the server name. I also created an alias in DynDNS for ichat.markhadjar.com - not sure if that was needed.
I cannot connect using iChat to the server. I even changed the server in the iChat preferences (client side) to just markhadjar.com with no luck.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks.

Mark, you mention that this server 'alpha' is running many things including Mobile Access Server. Do you also run Open Directory on the server? I am trying to figure out if Open Directory is required to be running on the server that runs Mobile Access for it to work in authenticating users and granting them appropriate access. I am hoping it is not required, because I'm having problems getting it to replicate from the Master OD server. It would be easier if it doesn't need to run OD at all. But then if it doesn't run OD, what do I need to do to "bind" it to the other internal origin server? I have read all the MObile Access doc's 50 times, and this is not clear to me. Just wondering how you are using Mobile Access. thanks man!

IChat not connecting with most users

Hi, I'm running Tiger and having trouble connecting to anyone but other Tiger users. I can't connect to PC users and I can also not connect, most importantly, with my dad who uses Panther.
As an error, it says at my end that the other computer is unavailable or unreachable something like that and then at their end it says that I canceled my request. Strange, no doubt.
I changed the Quicktime settings and did everything else in accordance with this thread, including opening the proper firewall ports (i have also tried with firewall off), I have no iChat add-ins and I connect to the internet directly to my cable modem. I had no problems under Panther.
I have an up/down speed of 187Kbps/339Kbps, according to a test I just ran. Also, my dad, the one I really want to talk to, connects with a modem, so i thought maybe his connection was just too pokey to handle it (even though it used to work fine for us), but I have the same problem with broadband users.
I have had this problem with every incarnation of 10.4.x

My dad was online tonight so I had a chance to test it out...
just says
"there was a communication error during your chat"
somewhere down in the report it says it ended with error -8
here's the first header

Why does Flash not work with multiple user-accounts on a single PC?

Running XP-Professional (MediaCenter), SP3 and using IE 8, NIS 2010 (disabled during the installation of FP), 3 different user accounts on a single PC
As user A (admin) installed FP ver. 10.0.45.2, and it works fine under the admin account, however, when logging-on as user B. FP is not recognized (?) and user B is asked to intall FP agian, however, the installation fails.
After removing the FP installation (as being user A) and then install FP as user B (who has also admin rights) , FP works fine for user B, however for user A, FP is not installed/recoginzed (?), and user A is being asked to install FP, however that installation the fails, and so on and so on , . . . . .
Any suggestion to resolve this irritating behaviour?

SQL Plus not work with domain user

Hey guys,
have a problem with sql plus in our network. when i started it with the admin it works. but when i started it with a user account, fill in the username, the password and the host and click on the ok button, the window closes and nothing happen. no error no new window, the window simply closes.
what to do?
regards

Hi,
There might be different reasons behind this.
Check whether user is created in database or not.
There might be possibility that, user is in different database.
SELECT * FROM V$DATABASE; --This will help you to findout database name.
SELECT * FROM DBA_USERS WHERE USERNAME = 'HR'; --HR is user present on database. If your user is present in database then user might not have connect privilege.
GRANT CONNECT , RESOURCE TO HR; --HR is user. To execute this command, login as sys You can also try to login with command prompt.

2 GB SD Card not working with Tiger

I have a new 2 GB SD card. I used the card in my camera to take pictures without any problems. I can also put the card in my iPaq and view the photos there without any problem.
When I try to copy the images to my Mac using a Belkin 15-in-1 reader, however, it doesn't work. When I put the card in the reader, Tiger tells me the card is not readable and asks if I want to format it.
I went ahead and put the card back into my iPaq and copied the pictures to its internal memory, and then put it back into the card reader attached to the mac. This time when it asked if I wanted to format, with the images saved on the iPaq, I clicked Format. It just froze though.
I pulled the card out, opened Disk Utility and tried to format it using that software, but again it just hangs.
What's going on? Anyone got any advice?

Hi Ho Lee MACkeral;
I don't know about your problem with the SD chips and the card reader but I had a simular problem with CF cards and a card reader. I was using Lexar 512 MB CF cards and a Lexar card reader. When I upgraded to the newest 1 GB CF cards my card reader would no longer was able to read them. So I called Lexar. They told me to send in the old card reader and they replaced it with the new model for free. So it is possible that something changed with the newer SD cards so that the card reader is no longer able to read them. You might ask the vendor who made your card reader about this. My advantage I think was that everything was Lexar which made it easy.

Hello, I am successfully connecting with safari via an airport card in my mini mac. I am the administrator of the osX. However no other "user" can connect to the internet via safari. What am I doing wrong? When a standard user clicks on the "internet connect icon" the 2wire224 is an aption but no internet page will connect. Help!!!!!!! ISP has gone as far as they can in helping me.

Hello, I have tried to solve via internet connect - no help. All of a sudden, since I made the post, the 2wire24 selection is now requiring a keychain password to get on. And sometimes my wep password. I know all these but don't want to have to use them and or give them out to my standard users. Any other suggestions or help?

My Mbox2 won't work with tiger 10.4

I am quite new to computor recording and bought an Mbox2 to record live guitar and vocals. My last recording system was the original Teac Portastudio. ($2000.00 in 1983) I love Garage Band for being so user friendly, but was concered that I would not be able to achieve a professional enough sounding final product. As the Mbox2 comes with Pro Tools, I thought I would give it try and take the plunge into learning Pro Tools. I guess I got in way over my head because I could not get the Mbox working. I originaly had purchased the Presonus Firebox, but the mixer would not work and the control panel would not open. I was able to use the Firebox for my guitar and my vocal mic and actually had a great time laying down a few live tracks then adding some midi tracks with Garage Band.I could not get into the cubase program that came with the Firebox and when I called thier tech support was told the mixer and control panel would not work with tiger 10.4. That was when I decided to try the Mbox. However,after my frustrating experience with the Mbox2, I am thinking of returning to the Firebox just so I can plug in my guitar and mic again. Is there another DAW out there that is compatible with my intel iMac tiger OS X 10.4, or would it be simpler for me to buy a pre amp/mixer and use the audio in on my mac? I would appreciate some help with this. Thanks.

"Could you recommend a pre amp mixer combination?
Would a Radio Shack quality do? I am working towards
producing a CD to sell from the stage at local gigs
so I do want good sound."
Hi Angelman. What is your budget for the mixer? What
type of inputs will you need? I'd stay away from
Radio Shack if you plan on producing/selling a CD.
BTW- some people are having problems with the
multimix (distorted outputs). If you're on a
tight budget I'd hold off on them for the time being
until they iron out what's wrong. Presonus Inspire is
OK, as is Tascam and M-Audio. It all depends on your
budget and what kind of inputs you'll need.
I have Martin D28 with an active pick up that I run through an LR Baggs DI box xlr out. I want to run a line out and record the line output as track 1. Next I have good quality condenser mics and would like to use one or more to record the guitar as track 2 and 3. I also want to record a dummy, or keeper vocal track while laying down the guitar tracks. I would be hapopy with 1 line out guitar, 1 condenser guitar mic and 1 vocal mic.( 3 tracks 2 guitar 1 vocal) As for my budget, I have been saving up for a long time and am returning my newly purchased Mbox2 $550.00 and thinking now of returning to the Presonus Firebox. I was wondering since I am not interested in the Qbase software that comes with the firebox, and since I can plug my M Audio controller keyboard directly into the Imac, I really don't require the midi capabilities of the Firebox and was looking into the less expensive Inspire. I am already into the cost of the Firebox, and it did work well for me, but I didn't hang on to it long enough to fully explore its capabilites. I would be happy to give the Firebox another try. If I did, would I need to install the Qbase software or could I just plug in the firebox and start recording? Thanks for your input. Much appreciated.

HT2515 Does iChat work with other users that are on other types of smartphones? or only Mac phones and Mac mail, contacts, etc?

Does iChat work with other users that are on other types of smartphones? or only Mac iPhones and iMac Mail, Contacts, etc?

Hi,
The Messages Beta will Send iMessage to iPhones (Messages replaces iChat)
iChat can SMS to phones
It needs the computer to be listed as if it in the United States and contacting a Phone that is on a Carrier in the United States that is accepting SMS forwarding from AIM
You list the Buddy as AIM and then +plus their number as in +123456789
The computer can be made to "think" it is in the United States in System Preferences > International (or Text a Language in Lion) then Formats tab.
The Phone has to be a US phone with all the trimmings about AIM's SMS forwarding.

Hello, I have iMac from Oct, 2010 and have OS 10.6.7 and multiple users. Mail icon was accidently removed along with program. Mail 4.4 is on other users but when I reloaded software my user got Mail 4.3. Mail 4.3 did not work with latest OS. Ideas?Matt

Hello, I have iMac Itel i3, from Oct, 2010 and have OS 10.6.7 and multiple users.
About 3-4 days ago the Mail icon in dock had question mark and was accidently removed, along with program on my user. Oops.
1. Mail 4.4 is on other users and works fine, but for me it does not work and tells me V4.3 does not work with latest OS X.
2. I reloaded software from my user with original disks (Oct, 2010) and got Mail 4.3 again. Mail 4.3 did not work with latest OS. I am unable to load Mail. Gives Yellow error message.
" You have Mail version 4.3 (1081/1084). It can’t be used on Mac OS X Version 10.6.7 (Build 10J869). For more information, click the Help button."
3. Tried to update software and look for update for mail 4.3 on Apple site to no success.
Hate to go to MS-Entorage ( I may need to learn something new and alien) mail program since contracts are in Mail/Address Book.
Ideas?

Matt,
I would download and run the 10.6.7 combo update.

I've tried removing Office 2011 completely and re-installing to no avail.

Unfortunately, my experience with Office is that somethoping will get corrupted in your account that prevents it from running. I have never figured out what exactly needs to be removed to make it work again.

IChat 4 works with iSight on MacBook Pro to a PC and USB webcam, not iMac

I have a .Mac account. My mother has a AIM account and a working USB camera. I can communicate no problem when using iChat on my MacBook Pro, but cannot see myself when using iChat on my iMac, same .Mac account. Any explanations for that?

Are you trying to talk to yourself or is this to your Mother ?
The first will not work with the same Screen name. (it will in Bonjour if the two Macs have different IDs in the Address Books)
If it is to your mother then how are the ports iChat needs opened in the routing device ?
If it using Port Forwarding then only one computer will work.
