IChat refuses to work after 10.4.3 upgrade

I used to be able to voice chat with my brother who's running 10.2.8 on iChat v 2.0. I was never able to successfully invite him but he was always able to invite me to a voice chat. However, after the update, I can neither accept nor invite him to a voice chat. Both ends say xxx did not respond.
Please help!

Hi All - reporting back. I've run a number of iChat video test sessions since my last post.
First, I allowed Software Update to download and install the Airport updater released Nov 1st. This is despite not having Airport cards on my Quicksilver, but 'on principle' because one never knows what the potential is underneath our pretty GUI for interactions . . . whether this is significant I can't say.
Second, I disabled iChat encryption. Two 'buddies', one without encryption (with an AIM account), one with, were able to establish successful Video chats with me. Similarly, I was able to initiate Video-chats with the encrypted buddy. I wasn't able to try with the unencrypted one, but I'm pretty sure it would have been OK.
Third, I re-enabled encryption, and was able to test with the encrypted buddy and another who had 'encryption' enabled. Somewhat to my surprise they were both able to initiate video-chats with me, and I was with them. One has an 833MHz iBook (on cable via a DHCP Ethernet D-Link to the cable modem) the other has a dual G5 and University bandwidth of unmentionable capability (drool) sending to me at 500 to 650 kbps and with a frame rate of over 20 fps.
So - all ye of fittle faith - iChat 3.1 (v417) with Tiger 10.4.3 (8F46) can work! However, all my buddies were on this, as am I.
NB: have only the one port opened at the server (login.oscar.aol.com) port 5190; and have unbound the SIP binding from the NAT settings on port 5060 in my Alcatel 510 v4 dsl router, by a Telnet session to it from Terminal. Yesterday I had reverted to the default 'bound' settings, but that clobbered iChat video completely - so it's unbound again.
Hope this helps.
Keith

My laser jet 100 color MFP M175nw is not working after windows 8.1 upgrade,

my laser jet 100 color MFP M175nw is not working after windows 8.1 upgrade, driver on your website fails to setup at 83 % with an error message

Welcome to the HP Forums MillaMagia,
I see by your post that the USB isn't being recognized.
I can help you with this issue.
Are you using the same USB cable? (known good USB cable)
You want to use the normal USB slot 2.0 cable and not the latest USB 3.0.
USB 3.0 are supposed to be backwards compatible.
Try another USB port on the Laptop, some of the USB ports are more powered then others.
I have provided a document to see if the printer is partially recognized in the device manager, which is causing the printer not to be recognized again. (the uninstall from the CD should have removed the entry and the printer from the registry)
Leave the printer turned on and the USB cable connected directly to the computer and the printer's power cord directly into a wall outlet.
How do I get into Windows Device Manager?
Here is a document for Identifying problems in Windows Device Manager.
Check to see if there are any hardware driver conflicts, you might see a ! mark or a red x beside a device with a conflict or unknown device, look under universal serial bus controllers, look for USB printing support or mass storage device, delete the entry by right clicking and select uninstall, OK.
Let me know how it was listed. (screen shots welcome)
If this is a Laptop then check the power management settings.
Access the device manager. Windows 8-How do I access the Device Manager.
Select universal serial bus controllers from the list, for each USB root hub, right click and left click on properties, for power management remove the check mark for "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power". It allows the computer to limit or turn off power for this device.
Disconnect the USB, run the full uninstall and reinstall the printer software again.
If you need further assistance, let me know.
Have a nice day!
Thank You.

IMessage not working after iOS 5.1 upgrade! Feedback pls

iMessage not working after iOS 5.1 upgrade, anybody experiencing this as well? Feedback please......

You shouldn't have to hard restart and it shouldn't have anything to do with your router. If anyone else runs into this problem try resetting the network settings on your phone. All the steps to do this can be found here http://tekshot5.com/ios-5-1-imessage-fix/
Edit: Some of us don't have the option of resetting our DNS servers. I run my own for example for caching purposes.

IChat is not working after uninstalling iMessage beta

Hey all.
When the iMessage beta was available I installed it. After several uses I decided I didn't like it and re-installed iChat.
Now the iChat does not work at all.
My buddies do not stay in the list and are always listed as Offline eventhough I know they are available for chats.
I took my Macbook pro to the Genius Bar where we re-installed everything but no luck.
I can now only chat from my ipod touch but I'd like to use my macbook for chats too.
How can this problem be fixed?
Thanks for your input.

Hi,
One is looking in the wrong place.
There are three folders called "Library"
The one in Hard Drive > Library
The one in Hard Drive > System > Library
And the Hidden one if you are using Lion in Hard Driver > Users > (Your account/Little House iCon) > Library.
This Hidden one can be seen if you use the Finder > Go Menu and then Hold the ALT key to see the Library get added to the list.
Then you can open Preferences.
iChat can send Messages (IMs or Instant Messages) to valid AIM Names or to Jabber IDs
It cannot send iMessages like Messages Beta can or the iPod Touch can with the iOS 5 messages app.
The OS can be reinstalled several ways.
One is to use the Lion restore option which mean starting the computer holding down the CMD and R at Start up then choosing the "Recovery" Drive.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4718
There is a USB Memory stick drive that can be purchased and I would not be surprised if the Stores made use of this.
I would also think that Apple may provide the Stores with DVDs that can install the OS.
I was hoping that you either saw the process or the Chap told you which method was being used.

Mail search no longer works after 10.7.2 upgrade

The search field in the upper right hand corner no longer returns any results, from any mailbox, regardless of the text I type in. This was working fine until I upgraded to 10.7.2. I absolutely rely on the search feature as my mail messages are a wealth of information for me.
Help!
Brian

I've managed to get it working after trying the following:
1. Used Disk Utility to repair permissions on my main drive
2. In Terminal used the comand "sudo mdutil -v -i on /"
That tells spotlight to turn indexing on for that drive.
3. Did a restart
I'd recommend trying the permissions and a restart first and if that doesn't help then try the command line fix.
The first time I ran it without -v so got no feedback on what it was doing. Stopping it and trying to do it again gave me the message "Error: Index is already changing state. Please try again in a moment." After the restart it now says:
Indexing enabled.
Scan base time: 2011-10-19 07:40:10 +0100 (60 seconds ago), reasoning: 'scan not required - avoided catchup scan'
Now mail is back to how it was before the 10.7.2 update, happy days.

Printing stopped working after 10.6.5 upgrade

Hi,
after 10.6.5 upgrade I cannot print.
I cannot access the printing preferences through System Preferences.
So I cannot remove the printer driver.
Printer is a Brother MFC-325C.
Printer is not connected to the mac, but I cannot still access the preferences.
Help? Ideas?
Thanx
Luca

I'm having a similar issue Luca with a client-site.
10.6.5 (by all counts, after auditing system changes) has simply cut the communication to the Epson 3800 and Epson 3880 they have. I am in the process of downloading the Xcode Tools, and then proceeding to rebuild CUPS 1.4.4 onto the system(s) to see if that forces a resolution.
There are known issues with 10.6.5 printing and CUPS 1.4.5 as of this moment in time. None of the known issues (as in, publically acknowledged by Apple) indicate corruption of the SysPref Pane for Printers nor the inability to print at all.
If CUPS 1.4.4 flash doesn't work, I shall restore from Time Machine.
Luca-
Your next step is to reset the prefpane, and then restore from backups.

7 u j m keys not working after 10.8.1 upgrade, late 2008 aluminum Macbook

That's all, these keys do not work after update/upgrade today. They were working fine right before i did the update and are not working now. If I hit the M ket a few times i do get some garbage. Help?

Thanks, but still the same. It boot normally only if there isn't any usb device attach to the computer. I'm using usb mouse instead of bluetooth mouse and it happens not to boot normally like usual.
The technician said it would be okay if any usb devices attach to the computer during the boot apparently it won't boot normally.
Any alternative sir?

GPS not working after froyo 2.2 upgrade

I upgraded to froyo 2.2 yesterday and since then my GPS won't work. The only way I can get it to work is to turn GPS on, power off/on my phone, then the GPS will work when the phone is first powered back on. If I turn off the GPS off and then try it again later, it won't work again. I don't normally leave GPS turned on because it drains the battery too fast, but now I have to restart my phone any time I want to use GPS?!?!?

OK. Not just me then. I have 3 Fascinates since last Sept. First couple months, none of the 3 GPS would work.
Then after first verizon patch/upgrade, all 3 worked better. Then after 2nd and finally 3rd EA28, GPS worked
GREAT on all 3 phones. Been working great since the EA28 upgrade.
Yesterday, 2 of the 3 got their Froyo 2.2 upgrade.
Now, the GPS on both of them quit working again. They either never get a signal lock or take over 20 minutes to get one
and IF they do, its a once a day event.
The one that didnt yet receive its 2.2 update, its GPS is still working fine. ( though I'm sure it will quit post update as well).
Since all 3 worked great last 4 or 5 months, I can only assume the gps radios in all 3 are fine and this is some kind
of Android bug. ( i've seen similiar posts in other forums for other phones after gettting various android updates. )
So, $64,000 question for Verizon, Samsung or whomever: How do I fix this now and keep it fixed ??
( I've cleared all cache data I can find, turned off/on, removed battery turned off/on ...Nothing helps on either phone.)
I have not yet tried a 'factory reset' , though I could on 1 of the 2 phones.
Thanks.

Apple tv network connection not working after 4.2.2 upgrade

I think the 4.2.2 upgrade has broken something. My Apple tv wifi connection has been working fine. Stopped working after the upgrade.
Laptop and mac mini working fine through the wap.
My wap is a time capsule
I've got good signal strength and a valid ip address. Still no connectivity to the internet or to my itunes library from the apple tv

Unplug and restart.
If no joy reset settings in Settings menus.
If still no joy and you have a micro USB cable do a proper reset via iTunes.

Vlan stopped working after Solaris 11.1 upgrade

Sorry for the long post.
I upgraded a test server to Solaris 11.1 from 11/11 a few days ago. After I did the upgrade my one VLAN-based network connection stopped working. I've been messing with it for days and am a bit baffled.
Note that everything was up and working just before the upgrade. This is not a switch configuration problem or a cables issue.
All of the other networking survived the upgrade just fine...
The link that stopped working is a VLAN running on top of a two-link LAG. The untagged link running over the same LAG works just fine.
So here's the strange part. As I was trying to get underneath it all today I fired up wireshark to see if I could figure it out. As soon as I put wireshark up on the interface (in its default promiscuous mode) the link started working. All the packets in the trace looked normal. All was good. As soon as I stopped the trace the link was dead again. Start a trace - link in promiscuous mode - and all is good again. Stop and it stops...
If I bring bring up wireshark on the link without promiscuous mode the link does NOT start working. If I initiate a ping that should go out on the broken VLAN I see a series of ARP requests but no answers (running wireshark on the machine being ping'd I see all of the ARP request come in and the answers go out, but the Solaris machine never sees the answers).
So - did Oracle manage to break VLANs in 11.1? Any ideas how to get it working again?
A few bits on info from the machine. The only thing that looks odd/wrong I've highlighted below.

Edit/Delete Message

Fixed. Don't know exactly how/why, but fixed.
When I came home this afternoon I deleted the all of the IPs associated with the VLAN and the LAG. I deleted the VLAN itself and deleted the LAG. Basically tore down all of the datalink and IP layers leaving only the raw interface cards. Rebuilt the LAG, rebuilt the VLAN and reinstalled the IPs. And like magic, the whole thing is happy.
Something in the configs of the LAG or the VLAN must have been corrupted during the upgrade. But now its all fat, dumb and happy again.
Very odd.

A1: Home button not working after Ideapad A1 ICS upgrade

So yesterday I finally tried the ICS upgrade for my Ideapad A1. It worked OK besides all data on internal memory and SD being deleted so I had to reinstall all my apps or restore from Titanium backup.
In any case the only real problem is that the home button is not working after the upgrade. Does anybody else have this problem and maybe even a solution?
Thanks!

Hi, Im using A1 16G and tried to upgrade to ICS for couple of days i read too many articles in different forums....
Can you put any instruction on how you made it?
Thanks

Power key not working after few hours of upgrade to Lollipop

Please, i need urgent assistance as the power key/button on my device isnt working. I can't switch off the device and it worries me cos this started few hours after i performed the upgrade to Lollipop.
Urgent response would be highly appreciated.

Hi,
Unfortunately, it's not much more that you can do as troubleshooting than the software repair that Thommo mentioned. If there still are no reaction when pressing the ON/OFF button after a software repair, it sounds more related to a hardware issue that needs to be examined by a technician at an authorized service center. You can contact your local support team for further information about nearest service center and/or how to proceed with this in the best possible way:

Ichat video not working after reformat

Thanks for coming here to help me on my problem guys. I am a PC user and my friend is an apple macbook owner. We always videochat with eachother over AIM. Tonight We were video chatting fine and my friend wanted to reformat his macbook. After he did that, he came back online onto ichat and now when he does a videochat request, it seems to load fine but his video is a black box and I cant hear him. He can however hear my mic. On his end he can see his own video fine and everything looks ok in the setup settings as well.
What setting is it that is causing this problem for us? I know his router settings are fine because its always worked. All he did was a reformat of his laptop that caused this situation, Im not an avid mac user though so Im not quite sure how to solve this one. I would imagine its not the port settings in the actual router though because like i said, it was working fine right before the reformat.
Thanks for the help guys. Hes done a system update so far and is 100% updated if that helps.

Hi,
Welcome to the  Discussions
Not sure why this got Bumped so quickly. It has not been more than 15 hours since you first posted. I post for about 3 hours each of my evenings 7.00pm to 10.00 Pm my local time. The first post was recorded at 05.46 (The discussion Software displays Local time to each logged in reader.)
Why on earth did he want to reformat ?
Creating a second Partition ?
iChat to AIM on a PC can be notoriously difficult to get sorted.
Often it either works or it does not despite any tweaking of settings.
If he wiped his drive and reinstalled the OS we cannot rule out the router but I will come back to that.
Tweaks/Settings.
A MacBook tells me he is most likely on Leopard (10.5.x) or Snow Leopard (10.6.x)
A) Firewall.
He should go to System Preferences > Security > Firewall
i) Leopard - He should use Allow All or Allow Specific apps and Add iChat to the List
ii) Snow Leopard - He should go to the Advanced Button in the same place as listed above and Allow Signed Apps and add iChat to the List.
iii) In either, Stealth should not be ON in the Advanced Button.
B) Internet speed
i) In Leopard go to System Preferences > Quicktime > Streaming and set the speed to 1.5Mbps T1/Intranet/LAN
Restart iChat if Open.
ii) The above setting does not exist in Snow Leopard.
iii) In either go to iChat menu > Preferences > Video Section and set the Bandwidth Limit to 500kbps as starting, test, point.
C) Router.
If he used Port Forwarding to Open the ports his device may well have wanted him to Point the ports to a Specific IP (Computer)
His computer may no longer have that IP as Reformatting makes it look like a new device.
If his device has it it would be better to use UPnP.
The fact his Preview does not resolve in to the Pic-in-Pic part and show you, plus the fact you see Black instead of video with associated Audio issues suggests a Speed issue (the Quicktime Setting in Leopard if set to Automatic is actually only 384kbps).
D) Updates.
IF he did an Archive and Install the process reinstalls the OS but leaves all the apps and personal stuff untouched (Settings are a choice along the way)
This means his iChat may not match his OS as it gets Updated in some of the OS Updates.
He should Update to either 10.5.8 Here --->> http://support.apple.com/kb/DL866
Or the 10..6.4 ---->>> Here http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1048
Everything else we know to try is in this Users Tip http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1968438 Listed above the Topics.
I notice you have managed a second Bump whilst I was typing.
