IChat setup between my MB Pro and a PC

I'm trying to hook up iChat with my wife's standard issue Dell. I bought a camera for her and she set up the AIM account.
She can see and hear me, but I can only hear her and not see her. I only see myself???
Also, when I invite her, she accepts and then the operation times out on her end and my Mac said she declined. Any help here?

Run iChat on Windows? Given, his description of what he wants to do is not as clear as it could be, nowhere does it say that he is installing iChat on his wife's computer. He is trying to CONNECT to his wife's Dell computer, she has a web-cam and has the ability for video through AIM....
gmirg: I found an article concerning what you are trying to accomplish. I am not sure if this specific article will work but you can always google your issue. If you don't find what you're looking for with your initial search, get more specific with the versions of the OS for each computer and the version of iChat to connect to AIM using video.

DataGuard setup between Windows XP Pro and Windows 2003 Server - possible?

Oracle 9.2. The documentation says "The hardware and operating system architecture on the primary and standby locations must be the same". I understand that this is recommended setup and it will be much better if it will be setup on EXACTLY same hardware and OS. My questions is - Is it possible to set it up between XP Pro and 2003 Server? Had anyone done it successfully the past?
Thank you

Hi,
between XP Pro and 2003 ServerBoth are Win* releases, both are 32bit. So I can't see why it would not work. But I think that certified combination requies that both computers use same O.S. release (XP pro xor 2k3 server).

I want to share files between my MacBook Pro and G5, I am using an AirPort

I want to share files between my MacBook Pro and G5, I am using an AirPort Extreme Base Station. I can see the MacBook Pro on the G5 and vice versa, I have file sharing turned on both, as well as Screen Sharing. I currently am sharing using Target Disk Mode, I want to know what other wireless options are available to me?
I want to have the 2 computers able to see each other and be able to share files be drag and dropping, I also have another G4 on using Tiger I want to be a part of this happy Apple sharing family. Can someone please tell me how to accomplish my goal?
Thanks in advance for reading and replying to my post,
Sebastian

The mac help is: Finder window/Help/Mac Help. It provides answers to a lot of common questions, including file sharing.
As for the ethernet cable, you can either buy another one (inexpensive and available in many places including Walmart), or just unplug it from your modem temporarily and plug it back in when you're done.
As for Target disk mode, take a look at this Apple article:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=58583
Apple online support pages are also a great way to find out how to do things.
As I mentioned, I prefer using the ethernet/file sharing method if I need to copy a lot of files; however, there is another way around if you have an external drive and just want to copy one or two files. Just plug the external into one computer, copy the file onto it, unplug, plug into the other computer and copy.

Airdrop between mac book pro and iPhone 5c

How do I airdrop between a macbook pro and iphone 5c?

Is this still the case, or has the latest update for IOS and OS X (announced on WWDC in 2 June 2014) enabled file sharing between Iphone and Mac via Airdrop?
When I open Airdrop in Finder on my Macbook pro (2013), it keeps searching for devices, but does not recognise my iphone 5s (on which wifi, bluetooth and airdrop are on). Any way to fix this?
Thanks!

Loosing signal between my macbook pro and Neatgear 1000

I am loosing connection between my macbook pro and my netgear 1000 on a daily basis. It seems to work fine with other wifi devices such as the printer. Howevere, I do have the same problems with my iphone that also looses wifi contact on a daily basis. I have to restart the router to get it to work. What is wrong?

The warranty entitles you to complimentary phone support for the first 90 days of ownership.

I need help. I need a KVM to switch between my Mac Pro and my IBM ThinkPad (docking station).

I need help. I need a KVM to switch between my Mac Pro and my IBM ThinkPad (docking station).
Best Buy (only local option) has only a VGA / USB from iogear that scroll lock doesn't work on the Mac and low and behold I'm a d.a. and didn't notice VGA, ie: want/need DVI.
I don't game on my Mac or do high-end video editing but don't want to step down the video quality too much.
Appreciate all of the forthcoming advice.
Jason

I guess I should have clarified and said "can you please share what you've used and been successful with"
Two that I have been considering are:
ConnectPRO
http://www.connectpro.com/prod_kvm_usb12plusDvi.html
IOGear
http://www.iogear.com/solutions/kvm/?view=displayDVI
If you do the Belkin KVM wizard, as soon as you reference a Mac, they only support VGA and I am not sure why. http://www.belkin.com/kvm/
Thanks for the effort.

What is the difference between quicktime 7 pro and quicktime x

What is the difference between quicktime 7 pro and quicktime x

QuickTime Pro 7 is a very useful video tool. You can make simple edits to video files, cut-n-paste multiple video files together into one, save the video or transcode it into a variety of common video formats, use it to analyze a video to see which codec it's in, and even play videos in professional settings.
QuickTime X is completely useless.
With QT X and Final Cut X, Apple has completely abandoned the professional video market. Both of these software packages are dumbed down for Windows users, and are intentionally designed to anger and alienate the professional user that has come to rely on Apple software for their video needs over the last 20 years. Final Cut X is really just iMoviePro. If I wanted iMovie, I'd use iMovie, but I need a professional video app, not a kiddie video app. Therefore I can not use FCPX.
I have work to do, under strict deadlines and budget limits. FCPX and QTX actively prevent me from getting any work done at all. Apple has left me no choice. I have to go back to Adobe Premiere or Avid Media Composer since these are still professional applications. Final Cut and QuickTime have been turned into kiddie-style iMovie-like apps that have no functionality whatsoever.
Apple is heading in a very disappointing direction. They have a history of cutting off legacy items without notice. They have decided that optical media is over and everything is online. But my clients don't have that luxury. I still have to deliver products on DVD and increasingly Blu-Ray. Apple's obstinate refusal to support Blu-Ray has cost me clients, and I've had to resort to third-party software and hardware.
Apple has abandoned the professional video market.

How do I resolve a confict between Acrobat X Pro and Microsoft Office 2010 running on a W7 Pro 32bit

After I use Acrobat X Pro, and particularly if I have Acrobat X Pro running, the Microsoft Office 2010 programs (Outlook, Excel and Word) become very unstable.
Outlook has a real tendency to crash when I try to add a file attachment to an email.
Word gets mad while trying to find files across a local network.
and Excel almost always crashed while shutting down (the Excel program).
The problem is getting worse (more frequent crashes) as time goes by.
I am not "pointing the finger" at any specific software. I'm just looking for some things to try to resolve my problem with my setup.
If this is the wrong forum for this question I humbly beg your forgiveness (providing you give me a suggestion as to where I should go for help).
Jim

I'm having the exact issues, I guess adobe does not monitor these forum and assist their customers.

Airplay mirroring between my MacBook Pro and Apple TV (1080p one) has always worked fine until now. I only sometimes get video but usually just audio. Has anyone experienced the same issue?

When using Airplay mirroring between macbook pro and apple tv I cannot see video, only hear the audio. Worked fine before. Any suggestions on what the problem could be?

I have the exact same problem. The picture is very slow, incredibly pixelated... and renders my apple tv virtually useless until this problem gets resolved. I currently have an apple tv 3, ipad retina, iphone 4s, and a 2011 macbook air. I use the apple tv almost exclusively for mirrored content. And this is definitely causing quite a problem for me.
I had been able to use this for presentations as well- but until this problem gets resolved - I may have to look for a backup solution/product. And I imagine that I'm not alone in this... Please get this resolved quickly!

Failover setup between ASA5510-AIP10SP-K9 and ASA5510-SEC-BUN-K9

Not sure if we can setup Active/standby failover between ASA5510-AIP10SP-K9 and ASA5510-SEC-BUN-K9 at all?
If anyone could advice please, that would be grateful. Thanks a lot

You would need the module on both appliances to setup failover.

Connection between Mac book pro and thunderbolt Display

When im connecting my mac book pro to the thunderbolt display ,it keep disconnecting from the internet.What i need to do with connection? Please guide me ,what i need to do when im connecting thunderbolt display to my macbook pro and wifi will work?

Bluetooth paring for file transfer is not supported on iPads.
You can use Airdrop if both devices support it, or a 3rd party App, but you cannot directly pair an iPad to a Macbook and transfer a file over the bluetooth connection.

No video or screen sharing on iChat 4 between identical MBP's and OS

Hi, like many others, i'm experiencing problems with audio/video calls and screen sharing on iChat 4.
It's really important since my dad lives abroad and is 80 years old, so i need to help him out by taking over control of his MacBookPro when he needs me to.
Here's our setup when it DID work:
We were both in my house, on my network, through my Airport Exreme. We're both running 2009 MacBook Pro's with OSX 10.5.8 on it, and were signed in to iChat through our google account (jabber).
Then he returned back to his home (i'm in Holland, he's in Austria), and since then we can only do text chats on iChat. Whenever we invite eachother for video chat or screen sharing, we get the same error message about a communication error, or telling us the other one 'didn't reply' or something like that. I'll copy-paste the exact message + error details the next time we try.
We tried to solve it by changing services, meaning i signed in through my @mac.com account and he signing in through his AIM account, but with no luck. Also AIM to AIM didn't help.
I'm still on my Airport Extreme, connected to a DSL modem which is branded by my provider, so no idea what it is.
He is on a Speedtouch ST585 wireless DSL router, which he also got from his provider.
Any settings we should check/change? i've read all sorts of stuff about port forwarding, SIP/NAT compatibility and UPNP but that all works rather confusing than clarifying..
Any suggestions would be highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Lexxy

HI,
Thomson-Alcatel, to give them their Full name, make the Speedtouch Series of Modems
As a Brand they will work with each other no matter if they are a Cable (non routing) modem or a Speedtouch DSL Modem.
So, 2 to 3 (or 3 to 2) will work as they are Alcatels
The computer 1 and computer 2 situation (with said modems) has about a 1 in 5 chance of working based on my personal knowledge of Version 4.3.5 firmware and mush less with later firmware from threads on this board.
The Airport Express does or can do something called Port Mapping Protocol.
It is turned On in the Airport Admin Utility > Internet pane > NAT tab
In some circumstances this can be an issue. (It open ports like UPnP does but in a different way) - IF - the Express in not in Bridge (Off) Mode.
Is the DSL modem you have Routes then the Express should be set to Bridge (Off) Mode so that there is only one DHCP server on your LAN (unless you set the devices to do Static routing)
You could try it without the Express, but I am sure you will get the same results.
Can your Dad reach any of the names in Table 1 http://www.ralphjohns.co.uk/ContactTesters.html ?
(He adds them to his Buddy list and tries Video chats (they Auto Answer) )
There maybe a conflict between the two lots of NAT at your end if the modem and Express are doing DHCP (Share An IP) and your Dad's Alcatel.
It may still be there if it is your modem only and his.
My Personal experience with an Thomson-Alcatel Speedtouch Modem, answering on these boards and doing regular testing with people and work Bosie on this forum which Defcom and I have been involved with - tells me it is the Speedtouch that is the problem.

How can a session be setup between two MacBook Pro's at different locations on high speed Internet connections, be setup to have a live recording session in Logic?

My partner and I live on opposite sides of the valley here in Phoenix. About 50 miles apart one way. We are Musicians and are working on a commercial for television, and would like to know if there is a way, between FaceTime and Logic, that we can configure our MacBook Pro's to record sessions together without having to be at the same house? When we FaceTime, he can hear my keyboard through his headphones, but we can't seem to get the signal routed into Logic and register to a track when its record enabled. Is there a way for us to save gas, and record at seperate locations, so he can engineer me and I can engineer him, while we build this project in Logic and Final Cut? Here is what we are using, we have nearly identicle setups, which was planned so we might be able to do something like this. Both of us are using Mid 2012 15" MacBook Pro's with 2.6GHz Intel i7 processors and 16GB RAM. The only difference between the two MacBooks is that his has an Optical Drive, but I removed mine and replaced it with a 2nd SSD Drive, so I have two Samsung 840 Pro's each with 512GB in my MacBook Pro. His just has one Samsung 840 Pro with 512GB. We both use Focusrite Saffire Liquid 56 Firewire Audio Interfaces, and we both use Logic Studio 9 Academic. I don't know if you need to know what we are using in order to help us figure out how to configure the MacBooks for a live session, so I figured I would give you those details just in case. If you need any more information, just let me know? Oh, we both have high speed cable Internet connections. Mine is 150Mbps speed which is the absolute fastest I can get in my area. And his is only a 50Mbps speed line.
Again, what we are looking to do is have a LIVE recording session, in Logic, with him at his house and me at my house. When we FaceTime each other, we can pretty much hear each others keyboards as if they were part of the conversation, and as crystal clear as we can hear our own when recording, but we can't seem to record enable an Audio track in Logic and route that keyboard signal into Logic and record it so we can engineer each other without either one of us having to drive to the others house, to be there to do it. If any of this even makes sense, I'm not quite sure how to better explain it. So hopefully you get what I mean, otherwise just say so, and I will try to do a better job explaining it. :-)
Anyone who can help us with this little problem would be greatly appreciated, and quite a hero in these two humble Musicians Worlds!! So from both of us, THANK YOU in advance for any input you might be able to give us. I look forward to hearing any and all suggestions.
Scott

Hey Scott
You and ALOT of people are attempting to do this, myself included.
Unfortunately at this point (to my knowledge) it's a pretty CRAP setup involved that will likely leave you frustrated.
HOWEVER:
A few things CAN be done:
IF you are getting live audio from your partner over the internet, you can re-direct that audio directly into Logic using a program called SoundFlower.
There are a few alternatives to SoundFlower, like JackTrip, and.....(the name eludes me)
(SoundFlower is from a company called Cyling 74 who also makes Max MSP. )
Once in Logic, you set your audio inputs to the track to be Soundflower. (either 16 inputs, or in this case 2)
That all being said, regardless to speed, you are still going to experience latency in the connection, and THAT is the part that will likely drive you to the mad house.
THIS all being said, I believe there are websites out there that are set up to actually do this kind of thing, (at least there WERE) but likely membership costs, and other "hidden" problems that you only learn about after you have signed on the dotted line. (Hopefully I am wrong?)
If you don't need to do a "live jam", there are always solutions like DropBox that work very well for exchanging large files quickly.
If you want to record live MIDI input from his keyboard, I am unaware of any solutions for this.
Due to the popularity of the iPad, you might want to look into the App store, and see if there is something available.
Good luck!

8i EE Setup.exe crash - XP Pro and AMD X2 CPU

When trying to install 8i on my XP Pro (SP2) box with and AMD X2 3800+, setup.exe crashes as soon as it is run. I've tried the fix for P4s (renaming the symcjit.dll instances), but to no avail. This happens wherever the setup.exe is run from.
Has anyone encountered this problem and managed to fix it?

Hope you realize that Microsoft has changed a number of the kernel APIs with XP. Oracle8i was written to older APIs and you may experience crashes, possibly at random, simply because you are trying to run things in an incompatible way.
(I see this as a bit like buying a new car chassis and putting in an old engine and transmission - there is a lot of tinkering required to get the motor mounts to match.)
In my experience, people who have made 8i work on XP Pro have generally upgraded XP from an older OS and have been lucky enough to have the old APIs still lying around.
Suggest you try moving up to a newer version of Oracle and, if necessary, use the compatibility parameter to keep compatibility.
