IChat online/offline problem

I have just set up my ichat account and have only one buddy but with my status set at available, and i can see her as online in my list I am offline on her list. She can't call me but when I try calling her nothing comes up on her screen. I looked at different threads and about changing the port to 443, but everytime i go to change the port when i click away it automatically changes back to 5190. Am i missing something here, or is this a common problem? PLEASE HELP!

Hi,
Welcome to the  Discussions
To Change the port you have to be Logged out (deselect the "Use This Account" in the Account Info tab)
In iChat 5 when adding a Buddy you type the name in full as in [email protected] or [email protected] or an AIM username (no suffix in most cases)
In iChat 4 and earlier you have to Select the type of Buddy someone is before adding their Name. The software then add the Suffix for @Mac.com and MobileMe (@me.com) Names
Also the person at the other ends needs to Check their iChat > Preferences > Accounts > Security tab settings.
They may have you in the Block List (If set to Block Specific People)
They may Not have you in the Allow List if using Allow Specific People.
(There would be more options/variations/Combinations if you could not see her as well)
Are you sure you are not set to Invisible (Any AIM login Buddy list only - Not Jabber) ?
Has she got her Mac Firewall ON ?
System Preferences > Security > Firewall
If On is iChat Allowed
In Snow Leopard this in in the Advanced Button where "Allow Signed Apps" has to be Enabled - AND - iChat added to the List.
Realistically it looks like two things here
1) a Naming/permission thing for your name at her computer
2) A Port/Firewall issue with allowing incoming connections.

Online, offline problem.

Hello everyone.
I have two mail accounts.
In Mail > mailbox > options 1 + 5 tell me both of my accounts, let's call them A and B, are ONline.
In Mail > Preferences > account info > The A account has its name but no other detail; The B account (Only) has OFFline marked against it. There seems no way of removing the OFFline.
I can send (and receive) TEST emails to myself using account A … but I cannot send normal emails out to anyone else from this account. Account B will not accept or transmit messages of any kind.
There has been problems with the ISP that handles the B account, who's server crashed affecting the Email accounts of many people … but I cannot see how this would affect the A account which is not related in any way.
AND a secondary question. Should I be able to check and/or change the passwords with ISPs without any great problem? In the panic surrounding these events I deleted the password in one of the account info panels and I'm not sure if I replaced it with the same password.
Grateful thanks for your thoughts.

Sadly, no replies, but Brian Tuffin from the Stormfront Apple re-seller in Maidstone Kent very kindly adjusted the settings that had become disturbed and all now works as it ever did. Well done Stormfront.

Since I installed Lion, I can't get online with ichat - shows ichat as offline or disconnected when I open the app.

Hi,
Also try turning Off Face Time
Open Face Time
Go to the Preferences
Set it to Off.
Also make sure your router has the Time and Date/Time Zone set as this upsets Face Time which in turn upsets IChat

Windows 8/8.1: Printer Offline Problems

Windows 8/8.1: Printer Offline Problems
Are you getting an error that your network or wireless printer is offline when you try to print?
When you print to your network printer, does it fail, and when you check the printer status it says Offline?
Do you have problems printing to your wireless printer after your PC has been asleep?
If you answered YES to any of the above questions, then you have a problem with your network printer being offline. After some investigation into this problem, we recommend updating windows. Run Windows update to check that your version of Windows 8 is up to date.
There are a few windows updates that may help with this problem
1) Install this Microsoft patch to make sure this private-public-private network issue does not reoccur. It is part of the April 2014 Windows Update package for Windows 8.1 and Server2012 R2 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2919355).
2) Install this Microsoft patch for the WSD service. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/3000461
If this does not help, then please follow the steps list below which will give you a Workaround that may help with this problem.
Assign the printer a static IP address
An IP address is an Internet network address that the computer can use to communicate with the printer. Enter a static IP address to make sure that the wireless connection remains stable. Follow these steps to assign the printer a static IP address.
Get the printer IP address.
Press the Wireless button on the printer control panel to view the network settings.
Access the Network menu on the printer control panel.
Print a Network Configuration Page or Wireless Test Report page.
Once you have the printer's IP address, open a new web browser window or tab.
Type the IP address in your web browser's address bar, and then press Enter.
Make sure that you type the IP address into the browser's address box. If you type it into a tool bar search box, the EWS will not open.
If the message 'There is a problem with this website's security certificate' appears in the web browser when you try to open the embedded web server (EWS), or when you navigate within the EWS, click ' Continue to this website (not recommended)'.
note:
Choosing 'Continue to this website (not recommended)' will not harm your computer while you navigate within the EWS for your printer. If you encounter this error outside of your printer's EWS, your computer could be at risk.
If the browser fails to open the EWS after you click 'Continue to this website (not recommended)', refresh the browser window.
The Embedded Web Server (EWS) for the printer opens and confirms that the printer is on the same network as the computer.
In the EWS, click the Network tab.
In the Wireless section, click the Network Address (IP) or IPv6 configuration, depending on your network setup.
Click Manual IP, and then click Suggest a Manual IP Address. A manual IP address, Subnet Mask, and Default Gateway displays.
After the manual IP address populates, click Manual DNS Server.
note:
Keep a record of the manual IP address for reference.
On the Network Configuration Page you printed earlier, locate the DNS Server addresses, type the DNS addresses in the Manual Preferred DNS Server and Manual Alternate DNS Server fields, and then click Apply.
If the DNS addresses are not listed on the Network Configuration Page, or if you have trouble accessing the network or Internet with the original DNS addresses, use one of the following methods to obtain DNS addresses.
Method one: Use publicly available DNS server addresses
Configure the printer using publicly available DNS server addresses. To find available DNS server addresses, search online for 'public DNS servers'.
After you find public DNS server addresses, type the addresses in the Manual Preferred DNS Server and Manual Alternate DNS Server fields, and then click Apply.
Method two: Get the network DNS information via your computer
Select your operating system, and then use the following directions to obtain the DNS server addresses.
Right-click the Start button () or the lower left corner of the screen, click Run, type cmd, and then press Enter.
When the command window opens, type ipconfig /all, and then press Enter. Information about the computer's network displays.
Scroll to and locate the DNS Server addresses.
In the EWS, type the DNS addresses in the Manual Preferred DNS Server and Manual Alternate DNS Server fields, and then click Apply.
Print a test page to make sure that the printer's IP address is the same as you assigned.
Right-click the Start button () or the lower left corner of the screen, click Search, type HP and click your printer in the results. Click Utilities, and then click Update IP address to update the address in the software.
Adding a Wireless Network Printer using Control Panel
Go to Control Panel and choose Devices and Printers
Click on Add Printer
The PC will search the local network and display the network printers.
Choose the printer and select Next
The system will then try and auto select a compatible driver
Select the current driver and Click Next
The system will then ask for a name for the printer. The user can change the name and then click Next
The User can then choose to share the printer
The user can select to make this new printer the default and then click Finish.
The new printer is now setup but this printer may be using the In OS driver (Class) rather than the HP Full Function driver.
To change the printer to use the HP Full Function driver follow the following instructions. I would recommend changing the driver to the HP Full Function driver as the User can then use features such as Custom paper sizes.
Go back into Control Panel and choose devices and Printers, right click on the newly created printer and choose Printer Properties
Choose the Advanced Tab
Click on the driver section drop down and choose the Driver for the printer that does not have the words Class driver after it.
Click apply and then OK and the driver will be changed to the HP Full Function driver for the printer.
The user should try this configuration and see if they still experience problems.
Please Note:
DO NOT Remove the Original Printer Icon from Devices and Printers as the HP Printer Assistant will stop working.

I work for HP

I have the printer offline problem. It started when I ran out of toner. I have now installed a new toner cartridge.
Your solution does not help me because I have tried to install Win8.1 and it failed.
I would just reinstall my printer but I have a long list of items in my print queque and I don't want to lose them.
Is there another solution?
Or is there a way I can save the print queue?

Multi camera project, Online/Offline. Major issues reconnect/re-digitize

Ok gang I got brain bender.
3 camera show, Multi camera project shot Digi-beta. Brought the tapes (3@90min) in low res (dv50) and now I need up-res the files or as apple would call it “online/offline”
According to the book this can be done a few diffrent ways. I have explored these ways and I’m failing...very very badly.
Attempt #1.
- took time line into media manager made the sequence “offline” save the project to new folder in drive with new settings (10-bit). All looks good till you try to recapture at 10-bit. Clip names get changes and numerical extensions apple put on during “make new clip” don’t match. In short I have a show that wont go. FCP wants to digitize everything
Attempt #2
- took time line into media manager made the sequence “offline” Selected the clips batches of clips and then re-digitaized. Again clips don’t match and FCP wants to digitize everything.
This is where I need your help. What can I do to make this process work? Below are my next moves...but before I spend another 18 hours in a bay I want to make sure I get some other input.
Option 1)
Encode all the tapes in 10-bit, Try to reconnect. I would like to stay away from this because the space needed for 10-bit is out of this world and I do have other projects. Again I’m looking for that secret 1,2,3 to making clips only re-digitizing.
Option 2)
try some other method I haven't tried yet. ( this is the one I’m hoping for)
Thanks for your time an I hope it hear from you ASAP as I’m dying over here. Multi-clip with online/offline it’s exactly in the index in the FCP user guide. If any one has some posting or web pages I could book make for future that would be a big help.
Thank you all for your time in advance

I must playback in Premiere the 4 video streams in real time
Good luck with that. Many folks have trouble with even one stream.
edit those offline low res copies to get my edit decision list
I'm not sure offline editing with AVCHD will be possible because of the folder structure. You may not be able to 'replace' the lower res copies with AVCHD.
My output format is Flash F4V 640x360 px square pixels for Internet playback.
Oh, man. Shooting HD of any flavor is just overkill that adds unnecessary work to the process. Have your client shoot in DV.

Script for getting the online/offline status

Hi all,
After enabling checkbox of "Enable assistive access device" is possible to get the online/ offline status.From Menu we will get the status.Without doing this i want to get the apple mail account online/offline status.hope some help scripts for this.

[That script|http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=11012484#11012484] could change the Online Status of all mail accounts. The following one will just report their Online Status. Is this what you are (were) asking for?
--BEGINNING OF SCRIPT
tell application "Mail" to activate
tell application "System Events" to tell process "Mail"
set theMenu to menu "Mailbox" of menu bar 1
if enabled of menu item "Take All Accounts Online" of theMenu then
return "All accounts are currently offline"
else
return "All accounts are currently online"
end if
end tell

Trying to make my old 3G iphone an iPod for my 4 year old grandson. I have found lots of ways to do so online. PROBLEM: when I charged it and turned it on it only flashes many different languages. Will only allow me to call emergency numb

Trying to make my old 3G iphone an iPod for my 4 year old. I have found lots of ways to do so online. PROBLEM: It's been off for 2 years. When I charged it and turned it on it only flashes many different languages. Will only allow me to call emergency number. Any ideas how I can log on to it?

Im pretty sure what you are looking at is Set up Assistant where it shows different languages on the slider. If I am right then just slide to unlock and follow the prompts to choose your language, country etc.

Ichat-everyone offline

Hello
I'm have trouble with my ichat on my MacBook Pro. It seems that everytime I log onto ichat everyone is offline. After a while, it will try and log on multiple times very fast and then says: "You have attempted to login too often..."
When I tried AIM however, it showed that people were in fact online.
Does anyone know why ichat isn't working but regular AIM is?

Hi All,
2 possible "Fixes"
Check the App in the actual Applications folder by doing a Get Info on the app (Apple Key and i togther)
Once you see the Info sheet check it does say iChat is set to "Open With Rosetta"
I have seen one post where this was the problem.
Second as suggested go to iChat > Preferences > Accounts > Security Settings and change the setting to Anything else and then to Allow All.
For those like Binkysdad who can not see this pane as dark text they should go to Users/(your account)/Library/Preferences and delete com.apple.iChat.Subnet.plist as this hold the Block and Allow list details.
You are likely to have to re-do your Sort Order afterwards as well

IMessage - iChat bonjour chat problem

My office have 6 iMacs. 2 uses ichat and 4 uses iMessage. We don’t have any problems with bonjour communication between 2 ichats but when using the macs with iMessage it is often hard to chat between boniour iMessage to ichat or iMessage to iMessage. The chats sometimes cannot be delivered and often online bonjour friends appear offline.
The temporary solution I’m using now is by quitting iMessage and turning it on again. But when the mac goes idle, the problem will appear again.
Are there any preferences that I can set on each iMac so that every iMac can chat/send files smoothly? Are there any sharing settings that I should change?

Hi,
Often a problem can change once we have more info.
Like this one what seems like a Bonjour In Messages and iChat turns out to be an issue with you staying On line.
Are you connected to the LAN via Wifi ?
If so do this:-
In System Preferences> Network > WiFi make sure the option to show the Menu Bar icon for Airport is active.
Now right click and hold the Menu in the menu bar.
Select the Network Diagnostics that appears by doing this.
(Using the ALT whilst trying to grab a Screen Shot also show other details but you wnat the bottom item)
After a dialogue asking for your Mac User Login Password you see this fisrt screen
Press continue (it will take a few minutes).
Make sure the Monitor option is selected and minimise the item to the DOCK.
If there are breaks in the connection to the LAN this will tell you.
Obviously you may have to wait some time for this to happen.
In the mean time check every computer has a different name in System Preferences > Sharing.
Follow that by checking the Contacts App/Address Book and that all have different info in the My Card.

Online/Offline issues

I have a friend living in Finland and we arranged to go Online at about 11am UK time yesterday 27 May 2015. Skype showed my friend was Offline. Waited another 15 minutes, no sign of my friend. Texted my friend to find out where she was. The reply was that she was Online all the time from our agreed time and was waiting for me to ring. unusual, this never happened before. Thought may be re-bout my MACBook just in case . Same result showing my friend Offline, although she was Online. Anyway she rang me and we got connected and carried on our conversation. It also froze my picture, whereas I could see my friend quite normal on the screen...
I have a latest version of Operating System and my MacBook pro is Retina version..Does anyone know am I having this problem.Will greatly appreciate your feedback...MNAQ38

Since it doesn't appear the Online Capture for DB2 is supported, I am trying to work around this and do the Offline capture.
I copied the generated files from the Offline Capture option (startDump.sh,getForeignKeys.sh,getProcedures.sh, and db2v9.ocp)to the Linux box where the DB2 Database resides.
After connecting to the DB2 Database (DB2DB1), I entered:
sh startDump.sh DB2DB1 USRNAME USRPSWD
to run the script startDump.sh. It produced files:
Connect.dat
Schemas.dat
It also created a subfolder (DB2DB1) containing:
checkConstraints.dat
foreignKeys.dat
indexes.dat
primarykeys.dat
routines.dat
synonyms.dat
tables.dat
triggers.dat
views.dat.
My question is what do I do with these files? I believe the documentation said that file db2v9.ocp was supposed to be modified, but it wasn’t modified after I ran startDump.sh. Was I supposed to run getForeignKeys.sh and getProcedures.sh, or did startDump.sh already run these? Can anyone provide an example of how this is to be run? The documentation doesn't provide a DB2 example.
Note: The DB2 Supplement: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E15846_01/doc.21/e15286.pdf doesn't seem to discuss the offline capture. It doesn't reference the startDump.sh file at all.

Online Backup Problems - DOA Error

Hi all!
I tried to establish an online backup for one of my Testservers. I configured the init<SID>.ora in the same way as the file is configured on an other Server (Backup works fine there).
In addition I adapted the parameter-file.
Are there any other configurations have to be done?
The Backup should be performed by an other Server.
The Backuputility (BAckupExec 10) allready starts the BAckupJob but this Job fails (without any Error -> I canceled the job after 30 Minutes without writing data...)
I planned the Job in DB13 - attached the second PArt of the Log!
Perhaps somebody can give me a hint to solve the Problem!
Would be great to solve that,
Alex
