IChat suddenly has insuffient bandwidth?

I've been using iChat for a month with my TiPB 867. No problems until recently.
I use a Verizon Wireless aircard (Kyocera). My surfing speed runs at least 256 and as high as 1gig. But when iChat kicks in (as of a week ago), it drops below 20. Obviously, I get an error -22.
Today, this was the error message:
2007-06-23 16:41:58 -0700: There is insufficient bandwidth to maintain the conference.
Detected 36 kbps upstream and 36 kbps downstream bandwidth; 50 kbps required.
Chat ended with error -22
Chat ended with error -22
I am most confused. No problems with Yahoo Messenger. Only with iChat.
What should I do?
Thanks!
Michele

There must be something more going on here, as (see my prior post) I have been having the same issue all day long as have the "buddies" I have chatted with. Whenever either side tries to initiate a video conference, we get the same error.
The only thing I can think of that is different from the last time I used iChat is that I downloaded the latest Safari 3 beta update last night (3.0.2)and also have downloaded Mac OSX update (10.4.10) I have no third party programs for Safari or iChat running.
How many others are having this issue???
Does anyone from Apple have a solution for us?

IChat Agent Has Quit

I am the de facto go-to guy for my office, and one of my co-worker's is getting the much-discussed "iChat agent has unexpectedly quit" error all of a sudden. It came out of nowhere — it was working at 9 a.m., then not an hour later. He's is on OS 10.5.8. What should I do?
Thanks!
Cory

HI,
I am not sure where that has been "much discussed"
As this is Leopard he will have easy access to ~/Library/Preferences
Find com.apple.iChatAgent.plist and drag it to the Trash (that one and that one alone)
Restart iChat if Open.
If that does not seem to bring any Stability, download and Install the COMBO version of OS X 10.5.8 update

My external hard drive (1TB WD My Book Essential) suddenly has no room to backup with Time Machine! I am using Maverick OS and wondered if it is because of a bug in the system software.

My external hard drive (1TB WD My Book Essential) suddenly has no room to backup with Time Machine! I am using Maverick OS and wondered if it is because of a bug in the system software. I purchased a new external drive with 3 TB and wonder if I will run into a problem installing it. I don't know how to transfer my files from the previous HD to the New one. I was told to use a cable, but how do I do it? Do I connect them both to the computer and drag the old into the new? How is it done? Why did this happen, the overloading of the Time Machine?

Why has the TimeMachine drive run out of space?
With the limited amount of information you've provided it is hard to answer this question. TimeMachine should continue making backups until the drive is full and then it should erase the oldest backup(s) to retrieve enough space for the next backup. Unless your computer's hard drive has close to 1TB of space on it, you shouldn't see a message saying TM cannot backup because it is full. However if you do have more than 500GB (1/2 a TB) then I can see how that message might occur. Also, if you are using the TM drive for double duty (backing up more than one computer or storing data other than TM) you could get that message.
Will you have this problem with a 3TB drive?
I always recommend that people look at how much they'll be backing up in total, add a bit extra for the future, and then multiply that by at least 1.5 and even better to double it. That indicates how large the TM backup drive should be. The TM drive should only be used for TM backups. It is ok to use one drive to back up more than one computer but if doing so, add up the contents of all the computer drives, adjust for the future and then double it.
Moving Forward
Disconnect the old TM drive for now. Connect the new drive and let TM do its job. I don't recommend that you try to transfer the TM backup from the old drive to the new one. Keep the old drive around for a couple months just in case you find you need it and then after a few months, if you like, you can erase it and use it for something else.

2nd monitor W2072a suddenly has no signal

2nd monitor W2072a suddenly has no signal, tried switching cables & rebooting but box comes up states Scanning then No Signal. I desperately need help since the only way I can use a computer is with 2 monitors due to a disability

Hi ToniClark,
Welcome to the HP Forums! I see that you have issues with your secondary monitor. What happens if you disconnect the first monitor that is currently work and just hook up the W2072a by itself? If it works then we know it is something with your computer system and if it still fails then their could be a problem with the monitor.

Apple TV 2 all of a sudden has trouble streaming. I stream from my desktop computer's iTunes for movies, and tonight it started stopping randomly mid movie and saying it wasn't connected. Any ideas? Router? ATV dying?

Apple TV 2 all of a sudden has trouble streaming. I stream from my desktop computer's iTunes for movies, and tonight it started stopping randomly mid movie and saying it wasn't connected. Any ideas? Router? ATV dying?
It just says not connected, and as soon as it bails to menu, it connects again and will play for another minute before doing the same thing all over again.

Hello David,
Thank you for contributing to the Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like your Apple TV is having trouble streaming videos from iTunes on your computer. This symptom could have a variety of causes, and I'd suggest the following initial troubleshooting steps.
In addition to restarting your devices (Apple TV, computer, router), try the tips in this article, starting with "Check your home network:"

All the best,
Jeremy

My iphone 5 suddenly has a white blank screen, no liquid contact or history of fall, what can i do with this problem?

my iphone 5 suddenly has a white blank screen, no liquid contact or history of fall, what can i do with this problem?

Hey there Galileo,
It sounds like your iPhone screen is solid white and you cannot do anything with it. Take a look at these steps from the following article about that kind of issue:
Get help with the screen on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
If you see a solid color screen (black, white or blue)
Plug in your device to a power source. If you see the low-battery screen when you plug in, let your device charge for at least 10 minutes (20 minutes for iPad) before using it.
Reset your device while it's plugged in.
If resetting doesn’t fix the issue, restore your device.
If you still see the issue after you restore, contact Apple Support.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Regards,
Sterling

IChat suddenly stopped working

I'm on an iMac 2.8ghz Intel Duo running OS 10.4.10 connecting via Airport
After 2 years (on my iBook and then my new iMac) the iChat suddenly stopped working properly 2 days ago. It allows me to see the people in my buddy list but when I ring them for a video chat, they can't see my ringing to accept, and when they ring me, I can't see their invitation. Sometimes I can text them, but it's only worked a couple of times and then not for very long.
I thought perhaps there was something wrong with the program on my iMac, but it does the same thing on my laptop.
I called my ISP thinking it may be the modem. We reset the modem and made sure the firewall level was set to OFF, but still no difference.
I tried some of the suggestions I read here in the forum such as changing the Quicktime speed and making sure the bandwith limit was set to None, even downloaded the newest version of Flip4mac.
I'm totally baffled. I can log on, see my buddies and they see me, but we can no longer chat or IM.
Thanks for any input.

My Macbook pro 2011 suddenly has a really slow bootup. What can I do?

My Macbook pro 2011 suddenly has a really slow bootup. What can I do? I did install a cannon printer upgrade and security upgrade. Not sure if it was something to do with that. Also I tried the disk utility repair and didn't improve anything. I also reset PRAM and SMC.

1. Try booting in e Verbose mode - press and hold [cmd] + [v] keys just right after the boot chord sounds till you get a black screen and white letters.
if there are some delays in the boot process - you should see where the system is stuck.
this mode is not permanent - the next [re-] boot will be normal.
2. repair permissions. disk utility does fine. Disk Warrior is better.
sometimes after half done updates (it may happen though should not) there are items that are "belonging to someone else"
3. try cache cleaner (or there are some other utilities as well - I just like SlCC more) http://www.northernsoftworks.com/snowleopardcachecleaner.html - it's shareware though the basic functionality is free for you to use.
Try caches -> deep cleaning (please read the developers site what it does) and select checkmark at all options - reply yes to the requests and after a reboot the next reboot should be as it is intended.
p.s be sure you do have backup

Lots of music purchased from iTunes suddenly has exclamation marks

I turned on my Mac this morning and found that lots of my music - stuff that was purchased from iTunes - suddenly has exclamation marks next to it and I get a message saying that the file cannot be found.
Since I have Match, surely the system should find the music in the cloud and simply use that to replace the missing files?
I don't know why they have gone missing - no files have been changed and they were working just fine when I shut the machine down last night.

Hi
No it's on one of the internal HDDs in my Mac Pro and seems only to affect random tunes.
The only way I can find to work around it so far is to delete the tracks from the Mac and re-downoad them from the Cloud.
Seems very odd and is very irritating.Would be quite useful if I could simply do what do with my iPhone - access the music from the cloud rather than locally.
Mind you I still have two tracks from a Led Zeppelin CD of mine that were in the library when I turned Match on and are still listed as 'waiting' and greyed out 7 months later...!

Ipad2 suddenly has a purplish-blue screen making everything virtually unreadable. Fixable?

Ipad2 suddenly has a purplish-blue screen making everything virtually unreadable. Fixable?

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Not normal. Take it to an Apple Store for evaluation.

1 Thunderbolt display suddenly has green everywhere.

I have two thunderbolt monitors which I have been using on my macbook pro with no problem. I just purchased a mac mini and everything has been fine for a few days.
Whilst working tonight one screen suddenly has a green background to everything. Navigation bars are green, the inside of windows are green - say if working in word the document itself is green, the icons on the desktop have a green background.
If I take a screen shot the screen shot does not include the green. If I drag a window from the green screen to my second display it is fine.
I swapped the monitors around and the same screen stays green.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Did you go to preferences, displays and try the calibration app.? Do you have any magnetic items close to the screen?

Please do 2-3 SMC and PRAM resets back to back and retest. Also use new cables, they can go bad.

My iPhone 5s suddenly has boot loop and shows blue screen.

My iPhone 5s suddenly has boot loop and shows blue screen. I tried to restore it with iTunes but it says that I have to enter my password on my phone first, which I can't technically do. What to do?
Also, I've read that I could get a replacement phone from apple but it was bought for me in CA, and I'm in the Philippines. Can I get a replacement still?
