IChat refuses to set up and crashes iSight

My iChat started to mess with iSight initally. The camera would enabled but constantly turn on and off. If I unplugged it, it would reset sometimes. Finally iChat started to freeze with the camera.
I've tried to reinstall iChat a couple of different ways including using tools to clear out system caches but to no avail. When I drag and trash the iChat app, Isight works fine with Quicktime broadcaster and other video software. As soon as I reinstall iChat, it goes back to the grind and pause mode.
iChat itself will not complete the setup. I get to the last page saying I'm done and after a few minutes, iChat says it quit unexepectly and thats it. I do not always get to this page, sometimes it hangs at the Bonjour screen and sometimes at the video screen. This happens without or with the camera attached.
Ideas?

Hi
When you re-installed iChat did you run the combo to
get iChat up to 3.1.1.
10.4.5 Combo here

Tony-
Your suggestion worked so long as I had put the original iChat files back on the system. I had removed them to use the iSight camera with another app. But success in getting iChat work again. Now all I need to do is figure out why the iSight camera wont work with it.
Thanks

  • Connecting iChat AV 3.1.4 and Yahoo Messenger

    I have a G5 PowerMac running OS X 10.4.6 with iChat AV 3.1.4 and an iSight web cam, and my son has a PC (running some version of Windows) with Yahoo Messenger and a web cam. By using Yahoo Messenger, I can see his web cam at a 1 frame per second frame rate. However, I haven't yet figured out how to get him to be able to see what my iSight sees, and he tells me that because I have a Mac, he can't operate Yahoo Messenger in "Super Web Cam" mode (with a much higher frame rate).
    From what I've read on the web, including in this discussion forum, it seems like there are solutions to this problem. I had suggested to my son that we try to connect using Jabber and ICQ, but for some reason that didn't seem to work. I think he said that ICQ made his PC hang. Perhaps there was some detail that we overlooked . . .
    Can anyone offer me some wisdom on how to overcoome these problems?
    Thanks!!

    Hi cccmjpd,
    Welcome To The Apple Discussion Pages.
    If the PC user is using AIM then the video quality cna be reduced and the frame rate will go up.
    I am not sure if there is a such a setting in Yahoo!

  • Apple Tv (3rd. Gen) connect to network but didn't set time and date so...

    Hi.
    Fist of all,  the device previously working fine. It works really nice since December 2011 until september 2012.
    We were on vacation so, I disconnect some devices in my house, including the Apple tv.
    I reconnect it after several weeks. Works fine, but one week later, after another re-connection, it restarted, show the apple logo, but stays permanently in Setting date and time.
    After three more reconnection, I check for the network. It is connected to the network via wifi, plays via Airplay everything from the Iphones anf the Ipads, but it is unable to set Date and Time. We check the modem and the router. Everything is working fine, but the Apple Tv refuses to set Date and Time, so, we can't see the others computer's libraries, no iTunes, no Radio, no nothing from the Internet.
    The computers (three MacBook Pros, one Sony Vaio PC, and two iPads, one first and one third generation) are with the last Operative Systems. Also the Apple TV have the last update, because I restore it. We also checked the Home Share account, and all the computers have it working fine.
    So, what happens?
    It is general, or is this a single case?
    If somebody know about a similar case, and have the solution, I'll appreciate the advise.
    Thanks.

  • PROBLEMS SETTING UP EMAILS AS DEVICE REFUSES TO RECOGNISE PASSWORD AND/OR USER NAME

    PROBLEMS SETTING UP EMAILS AS DEVICE REFUSES TO RECOGNISE PASSWORD AND/OR USER NAME
    My 9800 ( I have 2 - one spare )  is driving me nuts- will not let me set up email accounts from my other Curve model.
    Repeatedly told that either user name or details are wrong, yet they are RIGHT on website.
    Exasperated 
    Help please??
    Fair winds and kind landfalls

    Thank you- I have read through that thread and can see some resonance with my issue.
    My AOL emails work VERY fast with BB, in fact almost simultaneously received on PC & Torch " ping ping!"
    This issue only raised its ugly head when I had 2 Torches replaced by my insurers. 
    Whilst the claim was in process I used a new Curve, loaded from backup on PC to keep emails going and of course phone & web facilities. ( I use the BB to power internet via bluetooth to my PC / laptop when living on a remote island with no phone lines or power supplies)  All was fine. Swapping email accounts took a few minutes with the usual password confirmations for each AOL screenname etc. 
    Then the new Torches came back from insurers, and I tried to swap devices. Phoning & texting is fine. Al data and contacts swap over fine.
    SETUP email accounts.............stymied every time. It says repeatedly that my user name/password is invalid etc etc etc
    Have tried security wipes. Have tried setting up new BB ID & passwords on PC website. All is OK until I try to setup emails on the Torches.  This has used up ridiculous amounts of time- all wasted.
    I love the BB phones and the fast email push......in fact I recently bought a new Sony Xperia Z1 but sent it back because of wifi coverage meant no emails on that superb phone for lots of the time.
    Good old BB I said..........I always get emails wherever I am. ( Rural Scotland has very patchy radio & wifi coverage)  
    Was about to purchase new Z10s just to get a bigger screen, but now I am averse to buying ANY BB phone again because this present mess means I may never get emails set up again.  How nuts is that?
    Many thanks for all help & suggestions..........boy do I need them!!
    Kind wishes from West of Scotland

    Hello Washit,
    Sorry to hear that you are getting the error message "Apple Outlook DAV Config has stopped working."

  • Premiere Elements 8 and crashes

    Question:  I have tried all the Adobe recommended fixes due to my NVidia graphics card but my project still regularly crashes and now as soon as it starts loading the elements, it crashes with no error message.
    System:  Windows 7 Professional (x64) (build 7600)
                   2.80 gighertz Intel Core i7 860

                    Single ATA Hard Drive     WDC WEd002FAEX-00Z3A0
                  NVIDIA GeForce 8400 GS Display Adapter with newest 64 bit driver 266.58
    Assets:   About 300 still images imported from an album in Photoshop elements shot with a Cannon Power Shot a570 IS
                  Stills are at 3072 x 2304 or vice version, RGB, 180 resolution
                  27 short video clips from a Kodak Zi6 converted to avi files by AVS Video Converter
    Project:  I believe the presets are for NTSC DV although I can't get in to check; they've been this way because I usually shoot video with my Sony VX 2100.
    Workflow:  I imported the stills in chronological order preceding the first video.  Then more stills in chronological order before the next relevant video.  I am using the timeline.  After each import I save, add transitions (mostly the cross dissolve), save, and render.  Sometimes after saving rendered files, the system crashes and when I get back in the files haven't been rendered.
         Some vertical stills it accepts just fine.  For some others, I have to rotate them.
    What I have done:  I read all the suggestions from Adobe and the forums for dealing with the NVIDIA card.  This is what I have done in the approximate order I have done it:
         1. Installed the 8.0.1 update
         2. Updted the NVIDIA GeForce 8400 GS driver to the newest 64 bit driver 266.58.  I tried to do this update a couple of times.  The sytem kept telling me the 260 driver was current but the NVIDIA website said to use the 266.58.  I finally got it installed but a little later in the process.
         3. I could not disable the Hardware Acceleration as the NVIDIA card would not let me...the option was grayed out.
         4. I set both the global and the Premiere Elements threaded optimination to off.
         5. I turned off "Enable GPU playback" at one time when I could still get into the program.
         6. I recreated the adobe premiere elments plugincache.
         7. I uninstalled the Nvidia 3D Stereo driver...it was called Stereo not steroscopic.  In the NVIDIA control panel I did not install the Stereoscopic functions.
         8.  I was still crashing frequently. I was getting the low memory message, so I searched the forums and found directions to change the size of the paging file by clicking Start/accessories/run as administrator/enter at the command prompt BCDEDIT/SET INCREASEUSERVA ####.  I started with 3072 then gradually increased as it wasn't helping up to 8000.
         9. I think I finally upgraded the driver to the 266.58 at this point.
        10.  This morning I found directions on how to check the size of the paging file by accessing the control panel.  It showed my paging file was only 4096 (I guess the former advice didn't work) and it changed it to a virtual memory minimum of 8000 and a maximum of 10000.
         Now I can't get into the program at all.  It says it has loaded 100%, then there is a 100 second pause.  It starts loading the media and crashes.
    I love Adobe products and was a former Adobe Premiere 6.5 user. Premiere Elements as described is perfect for me as a video hobbyist.  Please help!  I would welcome any more suggestions that I can try.  Do you think I should just find a replacement for the NVidia board?  If so, what would you recommend.  I tend to do long projects.  I just can't live with all these crashes.
    Sincerely,
    Tracy Matern

    Tracy,
    Great job with the details - very well done!
    This should be a "poster-child" for how to state details, and a problem.
    Now, first thing that I see, regarding the crashes are the size of your still images. Overly-large stills require a ton of resources, and can crash the program, and/or the computer. Scaling of the stills to near the Frame Size of the Project will help greatly, and actually improve the quality of the output. This ARTICLE will give you tips.
    Next, with a 64-bit OS, like Win7-64, 4GB of RAM is about the minimum for just the OS. Though PrE cannot use more than the 3.5GB of RAM, as it is still a 32-bit app., but the OS and other programs, certainly can. I would bump that up, if at all possible. Your OS and any other programs, will love you for it.
    Off the top of my head, it sounds like you have got the video sub-system well handled, and would look beyond it (for now), to other factors.
    You might want to see this ARTICLE on setting up a computer for video-editing sessions, and especially the link to Black Viper's Win7 Tune Up Tips Web site.
    Also, check that you have the latest version of Apple's QT Player.
    If necessary, there are more troubleshooting tips, and I'll be glad to share those, if necessary.
    Thanks for the great post, and good luck,

  • Why does my 3rd generation iPod touch freeze and crash randomly?

    My sister has a used 3rd Gen iPod touch. It looks fine, not much physical damage beyond normal wear. But it will continuly randomly freeze and crash. It will shut off and we have to turn it back on, only to have it crash again. The frequency of this varies and resetting it and restoring it to factory setting make no difference. Is there anything we could do to fix it?

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:       
    iOS: How to back up           
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If it still occurs that indicates a hardware problem. Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

    Here's a simple AppleScript I wrote to work around this 'issue'
    -- Safari_Extensions
    -- author: Matt D
    -- email: [email protected]
    -- created: 07.17.2014
    try -- ask whether or not to disable or enable Safari extensions
      display dialog "Safari Extensions" buttons {"Enable", "Disable", "Cancel"} with icon stop default button 1
      set userChoice to button returned of result
      if userChoice = "Disable" then
      do shell script "defaults write com.apple.Safari ExtensionsEnabled 0"
      display dialog "Extensions Disabled!" buttons {"Ok"} with icon applet default button 1
      else if userChoice = "Enable" then
      do shell script "defaults write com.apple.Safari ExtensionsEnabled 1"
      display dialog "Extensions Enabled!" buttons {"Ok"} with icon applet default button 1
      else if userChoice = "Cancel" then
      display dialog "You quit" buttons {"Ok"} with icon applet default button 1
      quit
      end if
    end try
    try -- Restart Safari with the Extension Flag set
      display dialog "Restart Safari?" buttons {"Restart", "Cancel"} with icon stop default button 1
      set userChoice to button returned of result
      if userChoice = "Restart" then
      do shell script "killall Safari; open -a Safari"
      else if userChoice = "Cancel" then
      quit
      end if
    end try
    Here's my blog post about it http://oramatt.com/2014/07/17/safari-extension-changer/

  • Mac keeps freezing and crashing

    Hi,
    I'm on a late 2009 iMac (3.06 Intel Core 2 Duo, 12 GB 1067 DDR3, 1TB HD) with Yosemite. I installed Yosemite a few days ago. Previously I ran Mountain Lion.
    While on Mountain Lion the mac suddenly started freezing and crashing. I could still move the cursor, and most of the time my sound kept working (although the screen had frozen I could keep on calling via Skype - music and videos mostly stopped working after a minute or so), but I had to force turn off the mac. Upon rebooting most of the time I couldn't get past the start-up screen with the grey progress bar and Apple logo. The problem persists with Yosemite. There isn't any specific program which seems to cause it - I've had crashes running many different things. It doesn't seem to be a kernel panic: I've had only one instance where the grey letters would show up. Otherwise it just crashes.
    I've tried many things to fix it already:
    - running DiskWarrior and removing corrupted files
    - removing dubious third party extensions
    - removing unnecessary login items/Launch Daemons/Launch Agents (after running EtreCheck)
    - I ran AHT twice (nothing came up) and Rember once (idem)
    - ran recovery mode to verify the disk (nothing came up)
    - ran Safe Boot for a while (no crashes), which causes me to believe it's a software-related problem.
    I reinstalled Yosemite yesterday. It will only boot into safe mode since. While booting normally I can't get past the white screen.
    About three months ago a faulty HD was replaced and RAM (8 GB) was added, both done in an Apple store. I've no reason yet to believe it's hardware-related because every test comes up clean, but I'm obviously not sure.
    I don't know what to do next other than bringing it to the store. Any help would be much appreciated. Because I'm in safe mode my EtreCheck report differs from the normal report - if it's helpful to post it anyway, I will.
    Thanks!

  • I really need to go back to the save I made a day ago, my time machine is not set up and files haven't been automatically uploading to cc is there anyway I can go back a day in saves?

    Hi, I just had an issue with a photoshop document, my mac book temporarily crashed the screen glitches and deleted some vital layers I had constructed (took half a day) I thought I could correct it and saved it a few times in a panic and now i really need to go back to the save I made a day ago, my time machine is not set up and I just realised my files haven't been automatically uploading to cc is there anyway I can go back a day in saves?

    So you don't have anything like Shadow Protect running in the background?
    Video editing software only needs to save the steps taken to achieve the edit, and references the actual video files from the hard drive.  So the saved files are only tiny, and it takes very little drive space to auto save to incrementing file names.  Obviously, Photoshop files can be huge by comparison, so the only way to save with a different file name is to do it manually.
    I think most regular posters to this forum make a point of updating the file name of a large project every hour or so, and as a direct response to reading so many horror stories like your own.  The worst story I remember was from a poster whose computer had crashed half way through saving a large PSD file.  After several response, questions and answers, it turned out he was using a laptop with a failing battery.  He told us that he could see the battery was getting low, but left it and left it before finally hitting Ctrl s and running off to find the laptop's power lead. When he got back the laptop had run out of power and shut down, and his PSD file was lost forever.  He may have been a prime candidate to a computing Darwin Award, but his stupidity still did the rest of us a service so we could learn from his mistake.
    Ouch. 
    My digital audio workstation works on the same principle; it creates a backup save just in case things go wrong (which--knock on wood--hasn't happened to me) and only references audio/MIDI files that are related to the project.
    My advice is to always, always back up sensitive documents. There are lots of ways of doing this, from manually to automatically. (e.g., A lot of higher-end routers let you connect external storage via USB so you can run backup software that detects any changes to a monitored folder over a network and then backs up any changed/updated documents to the connected storage. I prefer to do it myself manually, though.)

  • Oracle 9i - Unable to set /PAE and /3GB Switch in Windows 2003 Server SP2

    Hi
    I was wondering if anyone had any experience on Windows 2003 Server (SP2) with setting /PAE and /3GB switches.
    I am unable to set both together, setting one or the other works fine in the boot.ini.
    Oracle seem to think you can set both but it causes my OS to crash/become unstable.
    Has anyone set both switches together on 32 bit Windows 2003 Server successfully?
    I am using Oracle 9.2.0.3 Enterprise Edition.
    Thanks

    The server is new. But we installed 10g before 11g was available. Then upgraded to 11g, so it is a little mess. What the oracle installer should have done in a fresh install, it is maybe not what the server has now.
    I have checked for memory issues, processor issues, http errors, every EM setting and metric, and everything looks just right, but the applications are slow and the users are upset.
    Anyway, thanks for the advice. Maybe we will need to re-install everything or go back to 10g on Windows 2003 Server x32. That configuration was working fine before rushing into 11g.

  • When attempting to format region and set date and time the busy icon appears and seems to stay like this?

    when attempting to format region and set date and time the busy icon appears and seems to stay like this?

    Click on DU's Partition tab when you have the raw drive name selected, then set it to one partition, Mac OS Extended. If it crashes or freezes, it is finding a bad block and can't write.
    In any event, if you want to use the drive, and have not zeroed it before, you should now.
    Click on Erase -> Security Options -> Zero out data. Still with the full drive selected and not any partition(s).
    Then repartition the drive if needed.
    Boot from the DVD if that doesn't work. And no, TTPro has never mapped out bad blocks let alone create partitions.
    Disk Utility in 10.4.8 is quite good, excellent in fact. No need for an alternative.
    Your eMac drive may need to touch of Disk Utility itself. FSCK from the command line, clear the caches with Applejack along with check for corrupt plists. Between Disk Utilty and Applejack (free/shareware) never had to use TechTool Pro - or at least there weren't any errors after those two got done. But if you want a good 3rd party, pick up Disk Warrior 4.

  • Flash content flashing and crashing mac

    Hello,
    Since the latest FF and Flash update (37 and 17) I can't watch any videos or flash content - like (annoying ad) banners. Everything literally FLASHES. Like a strobe light. Then videos get stuck, the cursor jumps/freezes, sound stutters and eventually mac crashes (panic). The fans are constantly hyperventilating but nothing weird is running in activity monitor.
    I have:
    * Uninstalled and reinstalled flash; same for Firefox; cleaned flash cache - nothing
    * I only have flash, java and QuickTime plugins installed
    * Downgraded flash to previous version (16) - better, no flashes, but still stutters and crashes after watching video for 10-15 minutes most (sometimes not even that)
    * Tried to watch using VPN but after a while graphics and sound go crazy
    * Decided to upgrade again to flash 17. Now it flashes again and I can't watch videos for even 1 minute.
    * Tried the about:config media.mediasource.enabled (change to true); dom.ipc.plugins.flash.disable-protected-mode (change to false); Firefox "get info" open with 32-bit mode; - nothing worked
    What can I do? Any idea?
    Thanks

    mms.cfg = Flash Player
    Go to your plugins page. Set everything video to '''Ask.'''
    You could try disabling Flash plugin's protected mode. The protected mode feature of the Flash player plugin has security benefits, but seems to have compatibility issues on some systems. There is a new hidden setting for this:
    (A) In a new tab, type or paste about:config in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
    (B) In the search box above the list, type or paste flash and pause while the list is filtered
    (C) Double-click the dom.ipc.plugins.flash.disable-protected-mode preference to switch its value from false to true.
    This might not take effect until all Flash has been unloaded for a few minutes, or you close Firefox.
    1) Enter the config by typing about:config in the address bar.
    2) Enter media.mediasource.webm.enabled and press enter.
    3) Right click on it and change to true, for some reason it is set as "false" which makes MSE & WebM VP9 not work properly.
    4) Visit: https://www.youtube.com/html5 and check that everything is OK.
    5) Try to watch a video. It should work now.

  • Imac OS 10.4/logitech 4000 and/or isight - webcaming..????

    Help! I have a new imac and bought the isight to go with it. Now I figured out that it won't work with MSN messenger (surprise, surprise) so I downloaded and installed/set up and AOL account. My friend has a pc running xp and he installed and set up an AOL account as well. We both have logitech 4000's as well and I can't for the life of me figure out how to do video chat. I did open all my ports from 1029-5000 and I have experimented with my kids aol accounts on the pc with the logitech to the apple with the isight. It drops the connection pretty fast. Is this a common problem? I apologize in advance for not reading through all the postings for this info but.. trying to play WOW.
    Sara

    Sara:
    Good evening, how are you? Good I hope. Well for starters what product is dropping the connection is it just the isight or is it just the logitech 4000 pro webcam?
    Also as far as resolving your issues i do recommend you reading the following posts:

  • Premiere Pro CC(V.8.0) sluggish and crashes during Playback

    Issue:
    Premiere Pro CC(V.8.0) extremely sluggish and crashes during Playback. My video won't play at all unless I render (which is no problem). I render all my clips and attempt to play it back. It usually will allow me to watch it the first time around. After that, the program freezes up or becomes extremely sluggish. I have even had a blank green screen pop up on my playback monitor. Sometimes the program will generate the message "A Serious Error has occurred" and will shut down. Other times, the program just locks up. I am not running any other programs except email.
    Here is what I've tried:
    Cleared all my cache files
    Set my Mercury Playback set to "Software only"
    Restarted the program and computer after doing the above.
    Made sure I had no RGB Curves as an effect (as I did see that was an issue from other threads)
    Deleted all unused footage
    Deleted all render files and re-rendered everything.
    I am editing footage that requires Ultra Key. I am using a Three-Way Color Corrector. My video isn't even 1 minute long, so I would think it would be easy to render and playback.
    Here is what I am working on (I know I need an upgrade - was hoping to after I finished this client's project):
    Macbook Pro 2008
    Processor  2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
    Memory  4 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM
    Graphics  NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT 256 MB
    Software  OS X 10.9.3
    HELP! This is seriously slowing my workflow and my project is due tomorrow. Any advice would be appreciated.
