IChat stopped working on BT Home Hub

Hi
I have been video iChatting with my parents in Spain using my BT Homehub for a few weeks but now it has stopped working? As far as I am aware neither myself or my parents have changed any settings.
I've read the problems on the forum and I now too get the error 8.
Is it worth buying a new router?
Thanks

I see I missed a big NOT in the previous post.
Also take a look at this section below the second white box

IChat stop working with Bonjour when parental control was enabled

Hi,
I'm wondering if someone could help me out with this issue.
I am running Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard)
When I enabled Parental Control, iChat stops working on bonjour account, is there a way to fix this or is there a work around.
Thanks,
Mindy

For some reason at present I can not get Bonjour to work properly between My Leopard computer and my Tiger one.
Having Looked at Parental Controls I do not see that this is an iChat Issue.
Look at the Way the computer/account is allowed to share files with other computers

Screen Sharing in iChat stopped working

To begin with, I have iChat 4.0.3 but I do not see any categories for that version.
The screen sharing feature in iChat was a really great tool that allowed me assist my family from remote locations to help them trouble shoot issues on their Macs. This feature mysteriously stopped working after the release of the 10.5.3 Mac OS X update. Prior to that, the feature worked perfectly and was able to connect each and everytime after all the proper settings were configured correctly at each end. Now, the feature does not work at all in iChat. I have confirmed and I am able to use the screen sharing features in "Back to my Mac" so I can still screen share with my desktop at home when traveling using my laptop, but I cannot screen share trying to connect using iChat. I have double checked the proper settings for sharing and those are good, I have double checked the settings in Quick Time preferences and those are set to 1.5 Mbps T1 as suggested. I have also gone back and applied the 10.5.3 combo update to both my laptop and the iMac that I am trying to connect to. The router settings have all been verified and the ports are open. The firewalls are all set and both allow connections using iChat, File Sharing, and Remote Log In. Still, after all of this, the screen sharing feature in iChat will not connect and results in a timeout error after about 15 seconds. Is this a known bug in 10.5.3 and can I expect some relief in the next update? Are there any other tricks that may be applied? This is a feature I relied on pretty heavily and now it is gone. Thanks in advance for any assistance.
I have read several posts regarding the issue of screen sharing in iChat not working properly and I have tried every solution offered in those threads and none of them have worked for me.

Upon further testing with a different iMac user I was finally able to determine that the problem is router related. I am going to go back again and double check the port settings to make sure they are configured correctly. The router that is giving the problems is a Linksys router and the router that tested fine is an Apple Airport Extreme router. I suspect the LInksys router probably needs to be tweaked further to get it to work properly.

How do I set up my new tc to work with my home hub 2?

Hi. This is my first time in this community, so hope I'm doing this right! I have a bt home hub2 and have just purchased a 2tb time capsule to go with my brand new iMac. Please help me to set up the tc to work with the bt home hub. I want to use the tc wireless capability and think I will have to set up a new network and switch off bt wireless, but I'm not sure. Bit of a novice at this kind of thing so any help you can give in nice simple steps would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

In UK BT generally use PPPoA authentication only so you will have to keep using the home hub as the main router. Put the Time Capsule.. TC.. in bridge mode. To do this go to the airport utility, on menu selection go to internet, and make sure it is set to ethernet for method of connection, and in connection sharing, select bridge. Then select update.. it will probably list some issues like password needing changing and access via wan etc .. almost all of which you can simply ignore.. as you are not using it in router mode.
The TC will save the setting and restart.. it will now exist as a wireless access point and switch on the network. The WAN is swapped to LAN, so there is no WAN port as such but it is still convenient to use WAN port marked <...> ethernet between home hub and the TC. Then setup wireless as you like. You can turn off the wireless in home hub, and just use the TC.. or use both, on different channels. That is no big problem. Set the security for the wireless is important and I would also manually set wireless channels and use different name for the 2.4ghz and 5ghz wireless. But just start and learn what you need to as you go along. Getting the basics working should be fairly easy. Some of the more complex stuff you just need to read carefully the instructions..
And read this site.
Carefully and until your eyes bleed. Almost everything you want to know is there already.

Port Forwarding not working on new Home Hub 4

Hi all,
I'm trying to get port forwarding going on a new Home Hub 4, specifically so I can access my Netgear Stora through its web interface on my LAN.
I've set the rules in port forwarding for the following ports:
Port 80 is HTTP Server
Port 443 is HTTPS Server
Port 21 is FTP Server
Port 22 is SSH Server
All these are now open and connect to Stora, which has an address supplied by DHCP.
However, when I check with various online port checkers, none of the ports are open and checking the trouble shooting logs of the BT Home Hub shows that the connection is being rejected. This is a sample of the message that is shown:
IN: ACCEPT [57] Connection closed (Port Forwarding: TCP 192.168.1.69:22 <-->86.141.184.236:22 [184.72.89.72:42894] CLOSED/TIME_WAIT ppp1 NAPT)
What can I do to make port forwarding work? I can't change the IP address of the Stora as I need to get into it via its web interface to do that.
I can navigate directly through Explorer to the files on the Netgear Stora NAS but not through the web interface.
Can anyone help?
Thanks.

i think by applying a static DNS i got it working, not 100% sure yet. edit: yep that worked, everyone can connect once again.

IChat stopped working last night on iPads and Mac

Last night, while using iChat (beta) on my MBP to a friend's iPad, it studdenly stopped sending. She called me to tell me that she suddenly couldn't send from her iPad, so I tried from mine. She can't use iChat on her iPad, I can't on mine, I can't send to iPads or iPhones through iChat on my MBP, but I can use it and chat fine to a PC with a google account. It stopped working, then briefly, it worked, then it stopped again, and hasn't worked for any of us since. iPhone to iPhone works fine. I've gone all through the forums here and haven't seen any buzz about something being down. Any clues?

HI,
iPhoto - Photo Stream.
I had a dial up email account that has been my Apple ID for a long time.
Last year I used this to create an iCloud ID for my iPhone as it went to iOS 5
This gives me two "names" to access the account if I use iTunes or the App Store.
They work as individual Names for iMessages and FaceTime.
I am the person in our house that inherits the old phones at update time
I gained a second iPhone 3GS and I did have the two names split between the two phones.
With iOS 6 I did get the offer to include the Apple ID (iCloud version) to be added to Messages on the Mac (along with the second iPhone Number) I thought I had declined but it does actually appear in the Messages Accounts for the iMessages account although Unticked.
This led me to check which iPhone was using which part of the Apple ID's "Names" and I found one phone was not syncing iPhoto's Photo Stream.
I had thought it was because I had messed up the name somewhere.
I have checked whilst writing this and have had to time Machine some folders back that went missing in iPhoto (only my Daughter's wedding !!!).
Seems it is something I did on my Mac ??
I thought I was on to something that was going to be more helpful.

AppleMobileDeviceHelper has stopped working - Windows Vista Home Premium 64

I have iTunes 9.0.1 on my Acer AX1700-U3700A running Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit version. In case it matters I am using McAfee.
I can connect my iPhone 3G to my computer and iTunes finds it. But whenever I "right click" on the iPhone icon I get the dreaded "AppleMobileDeviceHelper has stopped working". I've followed Apple's uninstall and reinstall instructions twice to no avail. When I try "repairing" AppleMobileDeviceHelper I am told that I don't have the .msi file to repair it from.
I've tried the "Run iTunes as an Administrator" option but I get the same result.
I see some people recommend deleting the AppleMobileDeviceHelper binary altogether but want to make sure I'll be able to still sync my and my wife's iPhones and iPods.
Does Apple had a fix for this?
Is there some settings I need to change in McAfee? I've confirmed that iTunes has "Full Access" through McAfee (I'm only including this as in some other threads some pointed toward their anti-virus applications as part of the trouble.)
Thanks in Advance,

Would a wireless bridge work with the Home Hub 5?

Hi there. I am wondering if I might avail myself of the community's advice and wisdom. I'm due to have Infinity 2 installed in a week or two, but I have a few concerns about how to get things working properly. Mainly I am wondering how on earth to connect my PC to it, when they won't be on the same floor in the house. The worrying over this almost has me rethinking the wisdom of changing from my old ISP of twelve years.
The Home Hub 5 will be installed downstairs at the master socket (or whatever that thing is called), but the family PC (currently wired to a Netgear DGT2200 'N' modem/router) is upstairs. I can't run wires all over the house (so sayeth the wife) so I am a bit stuck thinking of a solution that is workable. My neighbour had his Master Socket moved (I think) to solve a similar issue, but I'd prefer not to (if the engineers would even offer that) as access to the socket for the study is really restricted by several very full and rather rickety bookshelves.
I was thinking of using a wireless 802.11ac bridge, like the Linksys WUMC710, so I can connect a PC, Xbox360, SkyHD box and Blu player to the network whilst not having to use 4 separate adapters. However that bridge is single band only, (frankly I can't find a dual band AC bridge). Would the 5ghz signal from the Home Hub 5 be strong enough upstairs, bearing in mind it has to go up one floor and through one (admittedly paper thin) wall (the study is nearly directly above where the hub would be positioned)? It would rather defeat the object of switching to FTTC if the only room with a decent connection is the one where I only use ipads, another SkyHD box and very occasionally a laptop. The PC is arguably the one device that I want/need a good connection for work/play.

I'd hoped I was done with wondering what to do on this, but more reading has confused me even further.
1. If I did ask the engineer (likely a contractor I gather) to have the master socket moved upstairs (and he agreed to do it), is it true that the current telephone extension sockets would not longer work unless rewired? Not a deal breaker as I only use one of them for the master unit for my cordless phones.
2. If the engineer either refused to move the Master Socket or I opted not to ask due to the extension socket issue, am I correct in thinking I can pay something like £130 for a BT Engineer to come out to specifically move the Master Socket and rewire the extension sockets? The difference in cost between that and buying good powerline extenders and a switch is not that much (especially if I'd lose less connection speed by doing that). Actually I think a friend of my father's is a BT engineer...I should probably be asking him this.

Flash Player service 11.6 r602 stopped working OS Vista Home Premium

I keep getting the notification the Flash player service 11.6 r602 stopped working. My operating system is Vista Home Premium. What do I need to do to crrect this?

You CAN'T call Adobe for support for a "free" product. There IS NONE. What you CAN do to eliminate this is:
Right click ANY flash content on the web and choose "Global Settings"
Under the Advanced tab Check "Never check for updates (not recommended)"
This will stop the updater from ever starting and it won't stop working if it never starts.
The downsiade is you'll have to manually check for updates afterward.

IChat stops working from the start. Help me!!

After using mac for about 1 month, my iChat starts this problem. Every time I open iChat and try to change the status, the app stops working and not responding at all. How to solve this problem???

HI,
OK, it sounds like the app at least Launches.
Can you access the Preferences ?
In iChat > Preferences > Accounts can you enable as many accounts as there are there including the Bonjour one ?
You should have at least two Buddy list show up.
From what you say at least one such as an AIM (Or Jabber) login is reading "Disconnected" and not doing anything when you click to change this.
Does the Bonjour one display fully, even if you have no Bonjour Buddies On line on your LAN (It is for connecting to other Macs that have iChat/Messages with the Bonjour account active.)
If there are no such Buddies it will display as an empty Buddy list but should connect and say Available.
In System Preferences > Security and Privacy > Firewall tab, is the Firewall ON ?
If it is On go to the Options Button and check the "Allow Signed Software" item is ticked and that iChat and IMAgent is in the Allowed List. (I am working in Mountain Lion and yours may only have an Advanced Button. Go there and see if you have).
Do not have Stealth enabled as iChat sends Pings in Video and Audio Only connections.
Basically if other apps like Web Browsers can get on the internet we have to look as to why iChat is not doing this.
Enabling the Bonjour account will tell us if it is a local issue or and Internet one.
If it looks like it is between the internet and the app then the Firewall is the first port of Call.

HP t410 all in one zero client not working on BT Home Hub 5

When connecting to VMWare View on the t410 (patched to OS ID Z6A44019 VMWare-horizon-view-client 2.1.0-1213173) the pools to connect to are visible then when selecting one it goes to a blank/black screen. This only happens with BT Home Hub 5 (2 different ones, it does work with other routers). Is there any settings that needs to be changed on t410 for this to work?

Hello again! I am sad to tell that my solution was not fully effective - i have got the new problem now
when i remote control session, it connects and works for some time, but at some point (which can be even a second from connection) it disconnects, throws me back to my admin session, and on the client side of t410 the following message appears:

Will the time capsule work the bt home hub 3

Will my time capsule work with the bt home hub 3

Apple products work in a huddle with themselves.. all others are excluded so no you cannot wireless repeat if that is what you mean.
In bridge though the TC can work as a WAP.. as can every wireless router ever made. You must connect to the home hub by ethernet. Then set the wireless manually and use the same network name, ie SSID, and security settings and password.. but you need to use a different wireless channel. You can then roam with any wireless devices..and they should connect to the strongest signal. In reality it doesn't work 100% and I think it is easier to use a different SSID and know what you are connecting too, but that is up to you.

Camera in Ichat stopped working?

I'm using a mac mini computer , mac os 10.4.11, ichat 3.1.9. when I first open Ichat I don't get a picture of my self in the preview window,the screen is just white but the camera turns on, I get sound but no video. Ichat has been working up until yesterday (4/13/08) I'm able to see my Ichat buddie but he can't see me and we here each other just fine. I've made no changes to my computer except for updates (quicktime player)

Ralph, I am using the Microsoft Xbox live vision camera. It is plug and play so I did not have to install any add ons. I remember having a little trouble getting it to work initially (trying different USB slots, making sure I had the latest iChat software update, etc.) but I finally got it to work. Don't ask what made it work,I don't remember. Since then it has worked every time without a problem. I could initiate a chat or accept one from someone else. Mysteriously it just would not work the other day. Also, now, when I open iMovie and try to use the camera, it says there is no camera connected. This camera has a light that shows when the camera is on. In iMovie I can not get the light to come on, but in iChat the light comes on when I use preview or I am on a chat.

MY BBM , BLACKBERRY WORLD, FACEBOOK APPS AND OTHER IM APPS STOPPED WORKING ON MY HOME WiFi CONNECTION

Please I am wondering if anyone will have solution to my BBM problem , I am presently using my blackberry on home wiFi connection as I have ended my contract with my network provider(virgin). The BBM, IM applications ( yahoomessenger, window live, AIM, talk) ,my facebook apps and blackberry world were all working fine even with different wifi connection. But recently I am unable to use all these above mentioned applications more importantly my BBM as I needed it badly to communicate. Initially , I thought it was the internet connection at home but I found out the browser and two other applications I have are working perfectly. I don't know if anyone will have an idea of any solution to this problem.
I would appreciate any effort towards solving this problem.
Thanks

BBM requires an active BlackBerry data plan. As for others, try downloading the latest version of App World from www.blackberry.com/appworld and then update your Facebook and Twitter apps, most should work via WiFi only.

I have two ipods and they both stopped working on my home computer.

My Ipod 4gb has worked great until know. I plugged it in and it doesn't show up on my computer any longer. I took it to work and it worked fine. Is this a USB port issue or could we have messed with the setting during a upgrade? or, does the memory and amount of power it provides become an issue? Need an answer

Try another USB device, if that works you may want to re-install iTunes. Also try another USB port if available - if no USB devices work in any port, the board is probably toast.
I see you're from the midwest - it's very dry and cold there in the winter right? I blew out the USB board on a laptop last winter when I plugged a device in and got a static shock from the machine, even though I didn't touch any metal parts, I guess I was close enough for the static to arc.
