Hi
First try this log on to AIM on port 443 rather than port 5190.
Go to IChat > Preferences > Accounts.
Log out of AIM and then use the Server Settings tab
Set the port to 443.
Log back in again.

  • IPhoto 09: I suddenly can't import any more jpg-photos created by scanner with SilverFast Ai

    I suddenly can't import any more jpg-pictures created by scanner with SilverFast. iPhoto says 'unknown format'. What can I do?

    Since you can import into a library in the other user account there is something in your account that is the culprit. First  make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and try the following:
    1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
         User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
    2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
         User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder. 
    Click to view full size
    3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
    NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto.  You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
    Oost back with the results as there is one more text of your account that can be done if the above didn't help.

  • The other person on the phone can´t hear me any more but i can hear them. any clues please? (iphone 4)

    the other person on the phone can´t hear me any more but i can hear them. any clues please?

    There might be something in the headphone jack, maybe lint, dirt, or something else in there. Try disconnecting the headphones and then adjusting the volume, does it say headphones?
    If that doesn't do it, try resetting or restoring the iPhone.

  • Suddenly can't see any printers!!!

    Help!!! I suddenly can't see either of my printers... a very old LaserWriter 5800, and also a Canon color printer. I'm posting this via my Airport network connection, so that obviously works. I'm also seeing one of two other computers on the network under Shared in the Finder window. The other two devices I'm seeing are the Canon printer's Fiery processor and the Airport base station. I upgraded to Leopard almost immediately, and this only happened today. Any ideas? Thanks very much in advance!!!

    Updating the situation (still need help!!!)... I restarted everything network-related (cable modem, firewall, switch, and Airport) and now I can see both printers in the Default and AppleTalk windows of the Print & Fax system preference, but ONLY when I'm hardwired into the network. When accessing through Airport instead of ethernet cable, I can only see Bonjour shared printers on a colleague's machine? Any ideas?? Thanks very much in advance!

  • Error -43: Suddenly can't copy any file to my hard drive.

    This error has popped up out of the blue as I've been using the hard drive to store large files for several weeks now. And then tonight, it's suddenly stopped working. Midway through copying a file, it stops, and I get this dialog box:
    Here's the specs of the hard drive in question:
    Any clue what's going on? Thanks!

    HI Jeff,
    How much available disk space is there? Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon. Click Get Info. In the Get Info window you will see
    Capacity and Available. Make sure you always have a minimum of 10% to 15% free disk space at all times.
    First, Quit any open applications/programs. Launch Disk Utility. Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.
    Discovered this for Error 43 also. Not sure if it applies. http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2039

  • Suddenly, can't sync any songs from iTunes to iPhone, other help topics suggestions, not helping me :(

    Everytime I try to sync any of my songs onto my iPhone 4, I get an error message that says: "Some of the items in the iTunes library, including "(song name)", were not copied to the iPhone "iPhone Name" because they could not be found." and then it stops syncing. It says there are 13 problems. Then when you expand to see the files, each one says: "(song name)"" was not copied to the iPhone "iPhone Name" because it could not be found." It can be any song, an old song from 7 years ago that I got off Limewire, or a song from a CD, or it can be a song I paid for from the iTunes store. Doesn't matter.
    Couple weeks ago, I had no problems. Purchased new songs and had them in playlists on my phone. Then a couple days ago, I plugged my iPhone into the computer (to charge it), and suddenly my songs were removed off the iPhone. So I tried to put them back on, kept getting this error. So I googled it. I have spent the past 4 days TRYING to get things to work. I have looked through all the other similar questions, and tried suggestions on there. Nothing is working.
    - There is no exclamation point beside any of my music.
    - I have not changed the hard drives (I don't use my computer daily, probably once a week), (Windows is up to date also).
    - I have tried re-adding the songs to the library.
    - Everything still plays in iTunes.
    - If I click on the file in its location, it will open it and play it in iTunes.
    - I tried deauthorizing my account then reauthorizing it, didnt work.
    - I have even removed all my music off my phone to see if that works, now I have 15 songs on it.
    I did find it odd that when I looked in my purchased playlist, they were not there, but they are on the computer and on the purchased list (under the iTunes store on the side menu). At least I can use my iPod for when I'm in the car, but now I have to carry that around too, I'm getting quite frustrated. Normally I'm quite computer savvy, but I'm totally stuck on this one. And like most people, I rely on my iPhone WAY to much and let the little things affect my daily life. I hope SOMEONE can please help me?!?
    (I don't know if it may even have to do with the fact that yesterday I finally got my iPhone updated to the latest IOS, (cuz I was finally able to download the update from iTunes... Unless that was a separate update) the one where it's like "do you want to cancel, download only, download and install").

    After calling Apple Support. They kind of helped me. Since they pointed me in the right direction, I was able to fix the problem.
    They were not actually songs, but ringtones I created in an app (and probably moved its location). Suddenly problem solved! Lol!

  • Suddenly can't import any photos into iPhoto!

    Suddenly and inexplicably, I cant import any photos into my iPhoto program. iPhoto has worked fine for years. Now, all of a sudden, no matter how I try to import them (either from my desktop, or from my digital camera), I get the error message: Couldn't create: /Volumes/name of external drive/iPhoto Library/2006/08/21/name of photo. When I click "OK" on the error message dialogue box, I then get the error message "Unreadable files: 1 The following files could not be imported (they may be an unrecognized file type or the files may not contain valid data)." I am reasonably certain that of the 250 or so J-Peg photos I'm presently trying to import, from 2 different cameras, ALL of them can't be corrupt.
    First, I tried repairing my disk permissions on my G4. Then, I tried reinstalling iLife 5.0.2. Then I tried reinstalling the OSX 10.3.9 combo pack, and iPhoto 5.0.4. Then I tried again repairing my disk permissions with disk utility. All proved useless to solve the problem.
    I also tried dragging my iPhoto preferences to the trash. But I found to my horror that this action completely obliterates all of my iPhoto albums and photo groupings. I did not attempt to import any new photos once I discovered this, as I was fearful doing so might render my loss of my albums permanent. So I retrieved my old preferences from the trash, thus saving my albums and groupings, but also keeping the original importing problem.
    What can I do to fix this importing problem without obliterating my albums and groupings? Lots of work has gone into the grouping and categorizing of my albums and photos. Though it would be easy to reimport all of my photos, I would not want to begin to take the time to recreate all of my albums and groupings from scratch. Is there any way these groupings can be preserved? If not, there should be! It's idiotic to think that Apple might not consider all of the time the grouping of albums and songlists represents to the typical user of iPhoto or iTunes.
    Any help you can give would be greatly appreciated. Cheers!

    I've found a solution to this problem, thankfully. But it didn't come via rebuilding the iPhoto library.
    I didn't want to to a manual rebuild of my original iPhoto library, since I was cautioned that it would involve losing my albums and all notations and filings I'd made concerning my photos. Before I first tinkered with the library, I made a backup copy of the original-defective library onto another external drive. Then I did one more complete "automatic rebuild" of the original/defective library, and found to my horror that the library wouldn't even open any more. It would send up an error message when I'd try to click on it's icon to open the library.
    I went back to the backup copy of my iPhoto library (containing all of my albums, groupings, and etc.) and did what I hadn't thought to do in the first place: I simply attempted to import photos (my original difficulty) into this backup iPhoto library. It worked perfectly!!! All photos imported into this backed up copy as if it were the original. And now that I have trashed my "original" and totally defective former iPhoto library, this backup copy is now my new iPhoto library.
    I guess whatever was wrong with the old library was shaken out just by making a backup copy. I'm afraid that's about as technical an explanation as I can offer. But maybe doing the same process will help another of you suffering from a similar problem with importing photos. Anyway, a hearty thanks to everyone who responded to this original query of mine. Mac users are truly the best!!! Cheers!

  • Suddenly Can't see any shared computers

    I work on a network with all PCs, except me. We have a file storage computer that is a linux based machine. I have had absolutely no problems seeing these computers on my "shared" list and accessing the file sharing machine, printing to network printers, accessing the internet and email. Suddenly, I do not have a "shared" list, the network is empty, but I can still connect to the network, access the internet and email, and print to network printers. We operate on a wireless network.
    I did a software update last week:
    Installed "AirPort Extreme Update 2008-004" (1.0)
    Installed "iTunes" (8.0.2)
    Installed "Migration and DVD ⁄ CD Sharing Update" (1.1)
    Installed "QuickTime H.264 Compatibility Update" (7.5.5)
    Installed "Security Update 2008-007" (1.0)
    Our Network admin did a routine vista update as well. I don't know if others can see me or if that changed because I have kept my machine closed to the public.
    I've tried command-k and put in the file sharing machine address and it just gives "connection failed" does not exist, etc.
    All my Mac friends are mystified, including the tech at the local Mac store.
    Any ideas out there?

    WELL...I tried all of this stuff to no avail. I also tried checking the WINS stuff you described below. I don't know if you meant that for my problem, but there was no way it was letting me choose my work group, it listed none and wouldn't remain if I typed it in. BUT...I went to the Security>Firewall in system prefs and changed the setting to "Allow allincoming connections" and restarted and what-do-you-know, my shared was back! I don't know that I like having opened that up, and it is the only one that will bring the shared back. I do have "Stealth Mode" on in the advanced tab, but I don't know if I am vulnerable to unwanted advances on my computer now. I wonder if this is an Apple security update bug? Or am I just doing things all wrong? Can I set the network as an "essential service" or "specific service"?
    Anyway, original problem solved. Thanks to all who tried to help! By the way, I can see my workgroup on the WINS thing now.

  • IMac suddenly can't see any wireless networks!

    I have a recurring problem with my iMac 20" Intel Core Duo.
    For some reason, it suddenly loses the ability to see wireless networks. The problem is resolved if I restart. I go through this several times each day, and the frequency of the problem is increasing.
    Strangely, there is nothing wrong with my Airport Extreme wireless network. My other computers see it just fine.
    And when I check the Airport indicator at the upper right-hand side of my iMac's desktop during this problem, it shows NO wireless networks at all! And I have 7 neighbors with wireless networks on 24/7!
    As I said above, the solution has been to restart my computer, at which point all the networks appear again.
    Can anyone offer a solution/explanation? I have tinkered with my network settings to no avail.
    Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
    MacBook Pro, iMac 20" Intel Core Duo   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

    It has to be unrelated because I too have been having the same issue for the past 2 weeks. Actually it seems that ever since I reloaded the last iMac intel update (which I had to do to get my iSight to work again)
    I've been having this issue multiple times a day. I even moved my iMac thinking I had too much distance and walls between the router and the iMac.
    I know it isn't the router because the laptop in the house picks up a very strong signal all the time.
    I tried switching channels on the router (a linksys) and it has seemed to help a bit. I am now down to dropped signals only about every other day.

  • Suddenly can't open any image files in PSE11

    Last used PSE11 a couple of months ago. The organizer and Elements worked normally. Today I attempted to open some JPEG files in Elements on my PC and nothing shows up in the photo bin or the editing window. Tried with a varieity of JPEGs and non of them open in PSE11. Used the Organizer with no problems but Elements simply won't load any image file of any type.
    Opened a couple of my images in a photo editor that came with my PC and Windows Paint with no problems. What the heck is going on here?

    When you say nothing is showing up, do you mean it is as if you didn’t use File / Open, or is it more that there is something but it is gray or white or black without any image detail?  If the latter, perhaps something like a video driver update or system-level change has made things incompatible with how PSE11 tries to display images.
    Have you rebooted?
    Have you reset your preferences?  You can do this by holding down Ctrl-Shift-Alt at the same time while PSE11 is starting up (or at least while the editor is starting up) and you’ll get a message about deleting the preferences file or not before you see the splash screen.   Various other key combinations will ask for an additional plug-ins folder or a different scratch disk location.  If you are going to delete your preferences file you might want to review the settings, first, in case there is something important you need to reconfigure once the preferences have been reset.

  • Suddenly can't save any adobe products in a root folder

    can only save adobe documents (indesign, illustrator, photoshop) in a main folder and not able to save into a sub folder.  thoughts?

    ... could that be Snow Leopard? (If so, check for any non-alphanumeric characters in your path and file names.)

  • Suddenly can't play any of my songs in the Music app.?

    I've been using the Music app. in my IPad for several years without any problem. Today, it stopped working- when I press the play command, nothing happens. I've tried various ways to get it to work but to no avail.

    Hi,
    The projects are on the internal (for some reason).
    The events are on the external (that was my intention for the whole project)
    And here is the view from FCP: only the HDs can be seen. Double clicking them doesen't result in anything. The only thing the app will let me do is to create a new project! The clips in the event library is OK.

  • Suddenly can't merge any anchor points?

    I am busy working on creating a big object with many split ways, you can compare it with the streets of NY or something,
    Now the first 5-6 hours went great combining anchor points so it is one big object. However now suddenly Illustrator is giving me an error on mergin anchor points, i do them exactly the same as i did the first 5 to 6 hours?
    How can i still merge anchor points, i can't find a solution because it got broken in the progress and not on the start like everyone else their problem with merging anchor points....
    Please help me and thanks

    theraaf,
    I apologize for the figure of speech (end of the line).
    What I meant was: You can only join two paths end to end, by end Anchor Points.
    It sounds as if you are trying to join the end point (or an inner point) of one path to an inner point of the other, like a road junction or a crossing, and that is impossible.
    There can only be two segments from each Anchor Point.

  • Suddenly can't play any web videos

    I've had my Macbook Pro for over a year and out of the blue it has just stopped me from watching any videos online, e.g. facebook, youtube, one channel etc. I've updated my flash player, reset safari and firefox, restarted a million times and checked disk utility. I don't know what's gone wrong, someone help!! When I try and watch a video it is normally just a black screen, but if it does load at all it is never more than 3 seconds

    The short version:
    Go to Applications>Utilities>Disk Utility and select your volume and then select Repair Permissions.
    Same directions are also in the OS Mac Help Menu.
    The long version:
    Save and/or quit your applications & doucuments
    Go to Applications>Utilities Folder
    Click Disk Utility
    Highlight your STARTUP HD.
    Click the Repair Disk Permissions button. (Don't worry about verifying)
    At the bottom of window when the repairs have finished, you will see the “most important thing”:
    Permission Repairs CompleteThe previliges have been repaired or completed on the selected volumn.
    Restart your computer (Optional).
