IChat Version 4.0.8 (619) Can't Screenshare

Hello all, I'm running Version 4.0.8 (619) and I used to be able to screenshare with my friend no probs. But now I cant.
I can screenshare with my fathers iChat account/computer (both computers wireless internet in the same house)
and my friend can also screenshare between his iMac and Macbook (same internet connection in the same house)
But we cant screenshare from mine to his anymore. We both have firewalls set to all incoming.
Any ideas?

Hi
Have you both set the Quicktime streaming setting, goto sys prefs/quicktime/streaming/streaming speed, set to 1.5mbps
In ichats prefs click on video and change bandwidth limit to none.
Restart iChat.
Go to sys prefs/security/firewall and check the 3rd one down and then click on the + and add iChat.
Restart iChat.

I have iChat version 4.0.8 (619) and want to know if there is a difference or can I count on the iChat AV 3 in this support group?

Hi,
There are n fact iChat 1, iChat AV (ichat 2)m iChat 3, 4 and 5
Here at the Discussions iChat AV on the front page leads to a choice between iChat 3 (This forum) and iChat 2 and Earlier
A Forum was set up for iChat 4 in Leopard > iChat and iChat Sharing
Same for iChat 5 in Snow Leopard > iChat and iChat Sharing
However whichever one you post in the regular posters will spot it.

IChat Version 4.0.8 (619

My iChat has been a little glitchy. You know when you get new messages, on the dock it tells you the number of new messages in a red circle? This number does not go away when I check my new messages and the number keeps adding up. How do I fix this problem?
Thanks.

Hi,
Welcome to the  Discussions
It seems to be an issue when you have or had a Chat that is stored as a "Remember Open Chats Across Launch item that is hidden.
Remember Open Chats is a setting in the iChat Menu > Preferences > Messages section.
Try turning this Off if it is On
Shut down iChat and relaunch it. (this should write the info to the .plist Preferences file).
If the issue persists you may need to delete com.apple.ichat.plist
(In your Home Folder/Library/Preferences)
This does not lose your Buddy list but is somewhat destructive in other ways as it loses your Font, Colour, Save Transcripts option amongst other in the iCHat Preferences and any Saved Status Messages.

IChat Version 4.0.6 (613)

Apparently there is an iChat Version 4.0.6 (613) included in a Combo Update. When setting up a Mac Computer for the first time you seem to get Version 4.0.6 (613) which is not compatible in regards to Screen Sharing with Version 4.0.5 (608). Is that a mistake? Someone should check the latest Combo Updates to see if the right iChat Version is included. Or is there any way for me to upgrade to Version 4.0.6 (613) as well? When will it be officially released?

At least now I know I'm not the only person who's dealing with this. I convinced my unlce to buy a MacBook instead of a going with Vista. I told him I'd be ablt to help him through Screen Sharing anytime since it's his first Mac so I could explain everything and help if needed. When he first went online in iChat without having installed any of the updates Screen Sharing works great! But after updating he's stuck with Version 4.0.6
He lives in Germany btw and I am in California.
So I'd really appreciate it if anyone knows and is willing to tell me how to whether downgrade his iChat somehow or upgrade to this unknown 4.0.6 Version.
I talked to Apple on the phone they say 4.0.5 is the latest Version.
They also told me to try downgrading by using the Install Disc. Go to Optional Installs Folder and in the Install Menu only click iChat. It didn't work for my uncle though. He still has 4.0.6.
The only thing I can think of now is... to backup all my data on my external HD and start from the beginning even not using Time Machine. And hopefully then get 4.0.6 through this new Combo Update.
This will mean a lot of work and time wasted and I don't even know if it will work or even if I get 4.0.6 if Screen Sharing will work since it seems not to be an offically approved Version from Apple but more like a mistake someone made!!
Anyone any other ideas please?
Thanks

I've updated to the most recent version of iTunes and I can no longer see any of my old music on my mac. All the music is still available on my ipad. How can i download the music on my mac?

First, are you positive it is really not there? Have you looked in your iTunes folder in your Music folder, and in the media folders there? Do you see your media files?
If your media are gone it is a lot easier to restore from a proper computer backup. Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was planned with you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss. Syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchases which can be transferred to a computer.
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only purchases from iTunes Store
For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software. See this document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991

HT1212 I am unable to get our of a continuous cycle when trying to update or restore my iPad 2. Plug in to iTunes 12.0.1 (latest version). Click update, told can't update, have to restore. Restore fails with error 9. Any help appreciated.

When I tried to update my iPad I got an error 9. Now, I am unable to access my iPad. It is in a continuous cycle when I try to update or restore the iPad 2. Plug in to iTunes 12.0.1 (latest version). Click update, told can't update, have to restore. Restore fails with error 9. Any help appreciated.
Here's the cycle:
I plug in my iPad when “cable to iTunes shows on iPad screen. It says "Your iPad can't be updated, you must restore it to factory settings." That bad enough news, but it gets worse.
Click Restore
Extracting software…
Preparing iPad for restore
Waiting for iPad…
Verifying iPad restore with Apple…
(empty bar under the Apple logo…does not show any activity)
“The iPad “iPad” could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (9).”
Notes: I just upgraded to OS X Yosemite 10.10.1 on my iMac (27-inch, Mid 2011) in the last week. It’s the first time I’m tried to backup/update my iPad since the iMac update.
I swapped out the USB cable to a new cable and get the same results.
I also unplugged all other USB devices from the iMac and security on my iPad and still get the same results.
I find it strange that it shows no Serial number for my my iPad 2 when plugged in. It shows “Serial Number: n/a on the screen when it displays: “iPad Recovery Mode To update your iPad without erasing its contents, click Update. To restore your iPad to its factory settings, click Restore iPad.
I prefer to update my iPad, but it displays “Your iPad can’t be updated, you must restore it to factory settings. If you previously backed up the iPad, click Restore Backup after the restore process completes.”
It’s a continuous loop. I get the display on my iPad to plug in the iPad to iTunes, plug it in which ends after going through the above procedure saying an error occurred (9).
So now I cannot use my iPad. When I turn it on I get the display showing me to plug it into iTunes with the cable. Since this is the only option I have I plug it in and the loop begins.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Hello jaybearden,
Thanks for the question. After reviewing your post, it sounds like you are not able to restore the iOS device since you get an error 9. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.

Related errors: 2, 4, 6, 9, 1000, 1611, 9006. Sometimes security software can prevent your device from communicating with either the Apple update server or with your device.

I need a newer version of pages. You can download the latest version of Pages from the Mac App Store.

When I try to open up a page file, I am told to download a newer version, but when I go to Apps it tells me I am already instaled. So now I can not open any page files. Please HELP!

You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
Pages 5 is in your Applications folder.
Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
Pages 5/5.01 can not open Pages 5.1 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
Pages 5.1 sometimes can not open its own files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
Pages 5 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
Anything that is saved to iCloud is also converted to Pages 5 files.
All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
Apple has not only managed to confuse all its users, but also itself.
Note: Apple has removed over 100 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

Archive/trash Pages 5, after exporting all Pages 5 files to Pages '09 or Word .docx, and rate/review it in the App Store, then get back to work.

I can not sync my IPhone to My Imac. I have the latest version of ITunes on my Imac. I have tried reseting my phone (3), changing ports. Nothing works. I was thinking maybe my phone has the earlier version of ITunes but I can't update it.

Hi,
My iphone 4 won't connect to my mac book, it says that I need to install to latest version of itunes 11.1. When I go to itunes and try to update, it says that I have the latest version (10.6.3). Can someone please help me!

You are probably running OS 10.4 or 10.5 on a PPC Mac. No version of iTunes higher than 10.6.3 is available for these older Macs. I have the same problem, and while I can still use the PPC to sync my iPod, it can't be used to sync an iPhone 4 or higher. The only solution, as I discovered after upgrading to the iPhone 4, is to buy a newer Mac. I was able to get a 2006 MacBook running Lion for under $300, and that has been a lifesaver.

I have the newest version of the iPad and can not see it under devices in my iTunes account on my PC. I can however see my iPod touch under devices and sync it. How can I get my iPad to show under devices and sync as well?

You need iTunes version 11+.

On imac 10.6.8 using current version of Aperture. How can I access the Aperture Library on my external hard drive that I use with time machine for backup? I can only access the application but not the library..

On imac 10.6.8 using current version of Aperture. How can I access the Aperture Library on my external hard drive that I use with time machine for backup? I can only access the application but not the library..

Go into Time Machine (the program not the bundle on the extrnal disk) and using Time Machine's browser go to the Folder where the library lives. You could look in the library bundle in Time Machine but that won't really tell you much,
If you want to make sure it truely has backed up your library you will need to restore it and open the restored library with Aperture.
If all this still has you confused you need to read up on Time Machine in order to get a feel for how it works, for what it is doing and for how to restore files from it.

I just bought a new Mac and migrated my CS6 over. Now when I open it, I'm told I'm running a trial version of Cloud. Why can't I use my CS6 version that I purchased? I don't want to pay for something I've already bought.

I just updated my iTunes and I do not like the newer version.....can I go back to the earlier version?? This new version does not have the iTunes DJ nor does is show at the bottom as in the earlier version how many songs and the size of my library.

To do this in iMovie 11. use the SHARE menu. Share your project using the Share menu and choose Export Using QuickTime.
In the Dialog box that comes up, choose Sound to AIFF, or one of the other sound options. This will create a file that you can drag into iTubes.

I want to submit a grant application at Pepsi refresh, however they recommend Firefox 3, 3.5 or 4 - not 3.6, which is what I'm using on my Mac 10.4.11. Can I download another version of Firefox so I can apply for this grant?

If you want to add a new user-agent into User Agent Switcher, you go into preferences > New. Most of the blanks are filled in already, so just change the Mozilla revision number that will be at the end of the User Agent line. To fake 3.5.19, just change rv:1.9.2.19 to rv:1.9.1.19. For the description, put in "Firefox 3.5.19".

Is there a way to set my settings in the latest version of Firefox so I can still zoom using the trackpad?

I have a MacBook. In previous versions of Firefox I could zoom in or out using my trackpad. Is there a way to set my settings in the latest version of Firefox so I can still zoom using the trackpad?

Some gestures have been removed in Firefox 4.
You can restore the zoom feature by changing the values of the related prefs on the about:config page.
browser.gesture.pinch.in -> cmd_fullZoomReduce
browser.gesture.pinch.in.shift -> cmd_fullZoomReset
browser.gesture.pinch.out -> cmd_fullZoomEnlarge
browser.gesture.pinch.out.shift -> cmd_fullZoomReset
browser.gesture.pinch.latched -> false
To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website. 
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.
