AIM says this about AIM 6.5 http://www.aim.com/helpfaq/starting_out/getstarted.adp#608
Last time I checked they did not have any support pages for AIM 6.8 that came out on the 10th June 2008.
The firewall on the PC tends to have to be On but apps allowed as Exceptions

  • My ipod touch died in the middle of a upgrade and now it wont come back on. When I charge it, it just goes to the apple but not the home screen. how do i fix it

    my ipod touch died in the middle of a upgrade and now it wont come back on. When I charge it, it just goes to the apple but not the home screen. how do i fix it

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • HT4759 Can't get in Cloud. States ID valid for Apple but not Cloud Account. Is there more than one Cloud. Is the new Windows 8 messing up my iTunes?

    ID is valid for Apple but not iCloud account? Is there more than 1 cloud?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    You are trying to log in iCloud for the first time. You have to set up iCloud first on a iPhone, iPad, iPod touch or Mac before being able to set it up on a PC. See > http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup
    If you haven't got a iPhone, iPod touch, iPad or Mac to set up iCloud, you can't use iCloud until you have one

  • I need to change my ID on my iPad cannot update apps ID is changed with apple but not on iPad

    I have changed my ID with apple but cannot figure how to change it on my IPAD.  I have reset all and it didn't fix it..I have signed out and signed back in and it didn't fix it.  I cannot update apps because ID is different now what?

    Hi,
    Your post is in " iChat  " which is an App on Mac computers.
    You could be using an Apple ID in iCloud on the iPad or in Messages or in fact both.
    If it is an ID issued by Apple it may also be used in the mail app.
    We would need to know more before offering suggestions.

  • Hello i have a problem ! When i brand a cd with music i can play this afterwards on my apple but not anymore on my cd player and in my car  and before i went from snow leopard to lion it worked very well!?

    I have a problem when i brand a cd i can play it on my computer but not in my car or cd player and this used to xork when i had snow leopard but now with lion it does not work?!

    Could you explain what "branding" a CD is?
    Did you copy a CD?
    Is this a commercial CD?
    What Mac model do you have?

  • Ichat logged on but not working

    My sister and I cannot see each other on our buddy lists even though we're both online and logged on. It worked before but she's recently upgraded to Leopard on an a slightly older model ibook(?) I believe it is, and I'm on a MacBook Pro. Is there a setting she or I need to change. ichat worked fine before but not sure if it's due to her upgrade, just thought we weren't online at the same time or not.

    Try E Boyd's fix.
    "I've had this problem for weeks until tonight. I tried all the fixes listed and nothing seemed work. Here's what fixed it...I went to ichat>preferences>accounts and deleted my account...I then re-entered all the information as if it was a new account and all my buddies were on the list...including the entry that would disappear after 5 seconds. Let me know if this works."

  • IChat AV worked - but not anymore!

    Hello,
    A week ago I tried to do my first iChat AV session with my new internet set up:
    iChat Version 4.0.8 (619)
    iMac IC2Duo 2.4 Ghz (with Airport card) runing OS X 10.5.8
    Airport Express in bridge mode (I love AirTunes!)
    Gateway 2wire 2701HG-G wireless modem (ADSL in DHCP)
    Since it did not work, I did some reading on the Apple Forums. I managed to reboot the modem, set up 'Port Forwarding' for that modem and bingo: iChat AV worked beautifully, with my Apple firewall on (but allowing iChat connections) and Screen sharing on. I could even see my friends' screen, a beauty!
    But now, 6 days later, iChat AV no longer works. iChat text works fine. I can't even do a session with Appleutest3test02.
    I think it has to do with DHCP leases b/c as I look through my Mac's and modem's configuration, I noticed one (or more) of the IPs changed. The modem is set to release it's IP Lease every 72 hours, some that probably messes it up.
    I've been trying to read some more, but this one is beyond me: I'm stumped. I'm not sure if I can/should make the modem stick to a single IP + I don't know how to 'reset' my Mac's/iChat's/Airport's settings to allow the new IPs.
    Hopefully someone knows how this works (below is the Error report without the binary image descriptions)
    Thanks ahead of time!

    Hi,
    In most cases the ISP uses DHCP to give your Modem an IP - called your Public IP.
    In the case of a cable modem it is likely that it does not route and will pass the Public IP on to the next device, computer or router.
    A DSL modem might well route.
    So if the modem routes it will not pass the Public IP on and will issues a set of LAN IPs to a router or computer.
    By Default it will be set to Issues the IPs automatically using DHCP.
    Routers and computers by default ask to get an IP by DHCP.
    Routers and modems recognise not to pass on Public IPs when the route. However they will pass on LAN IPs meaning you can have your computer getting two IPs from a modem that routes and a router that is in between.
    There are several ways to stop a modem or router issuing IPs to computers.
    On some modems you can put them in to what is called Bridge Mode. Effectively all routing action is stopped and it becomes like the older dial-up modem except it is most likely Ethernet cables running to it.
    You can also set it to Static Routing. In This DHCP is turned off in the Modem or router and you manually enter the info several text fields on the computer or router that comes next.
    You need the IP of the Routing Device (Sometimes called Gateway IP) and the Subnet Mask and DNS servers info. You then choose the IP that the computer or router is going to use. (Like the Pic I showed earlier).
    There are limited set of IPs that are reserved for LAN IP addresses.
    Anything start 192.168.xxx.xxx
    Anything starting 10.xxx.xxx.xxx
    A range between 172.16.xxx.xxx through to 172.32.xxx.xxx
    (In these cases xxx stands for a number between 0 and 254 or 1 and 255 - there are only 255 numbers but some go 0 to 245 and some 1 to 255)
    Having two DHCP servers on your LAN is considered to be not good Networking.
    A small number of routers can be put into Bridge Mode - like Airport devices - which then leave the Modem, if it routes, doing DHCP.
    Pause.
    <hr>
    Ok. In setting this up you may lose Internet Connection at various stages whilst you set things up.
    Lets take a Cable Modem first that does not route.
    We do not have to worry about anything until we get to the router to computer part (provided you have Internet Connection AND can Web Browse and get Mail in your favoured Apps)
    IF the Router does UPnP or in the case of an Airport Device, Port Mapping Protocol (PMP or NAT-PMP) then this can be used as both methods allow the apps to have the ports they want open and will also allow Multiple Computers to use the same ports - so if the IP changes then the computer and app can still work.
    Lets presume we want to set Static (Manually on the Mac) routing anyway.
    In the case of the Airport Base Station this is fairly simple.
    You go to Applications/Utilities on the Mac and a open the Airport Utility.
    If several Airports show Up then you select your one.
    You then use the Edit Buttons to get to the Internet iCon Pane.
    At the bottom it has a drop down which by default is set to Share a Public IP (it presumes a Cable modem but will share the the IP (Connect computers to the IP) it is getting Upstream side).
    You needs some info first from the top part of the Screen.
    DNS Server, Subnet Mask and the IP the Airport Base Station is using on the LAN Side (It will be one of the ranges shown above - older models tend to be 10.0.1.1 and later ones 192.168.1.1)
    You can now set "Share A Public IP" drop down to "Bridge (Off) Mode.
    You will now lose the Internet.
    On the Mac In System > Preferences > Network you need to select either Ethernet or Airport depending how you connect to the Airport Base Station.
    Set the drop down to Manually.
    In Ethernet you can enter the Info in the required boxes.
    In Airport you have to use the Advanced Button and then the tabs.
    You can then choose the IP to use.
    If the Airport is at 10.0.1.1 then it can be anything between 10.0.1.2 and 10.0.1.255 (The first three give you the range of IPs and must match the first three of the Airport Base Station's number. You cannot chose the IP the Base Station has or exceed the 255 number (or 254 on ones that use zeros).
    So from the top in Ethernet it will read:-
    Manually in the drop down
    192.168.1.2 (Presuming the "Router IP" is 192.168.1.1)
    Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0 (this is a common example)
    DNS Servers 4.2.2.2, 4.2.2.3 (these are two Public DNS Servers but your modem should make your ISP's appear in the Airport Base station from the ISP)
    Router IP = 192.168.1.1 (in this Example).
    You should now have the Internet back.
    Repeat on other computers.
    Re 1)
    Lease times.
    Most devices will drop the Lease only when the computer is turned Off and left Off past the lease time.
    Also most will have a setting that may read shorter but is continuous.
    On some devices you can set Reserved IPs for the relevant Card on the computer (Airport or Ethernet) by it's Individual ID called it's Media Access Card address, MAC in capitals for short). The naming of this Reservation can vary device to device (infinity, Reservation, Extended Lease).
    Re 2) I think I have covered this above.
    Re 3) as I have said the Lease time is not so important.
    If you have several computers it can pay to turn them on in the same order if you turn them Off or set Static/Manual routing.
    Re 4) IPv4 and IPv6 actually give your Ethernet card two MAC addresses.
    This can create issues if your ISP supports IPv6.
    It can pay to turn this Off.
    What we need to know here is what is the modem doing as far as routing is concerned ?
    If you have a cable modem that does not route and the Airport is in Bridge Mode then you should see the Public IP from the ISP.
    Tell us the first two parts of the Number please.
    Re 5)
    Not all devices do permanent Linking of MAC addresses or even computer/router names to hold IPs as you can set Static Routing.
    Re 6)
    It will be easier if you tell us the Device Make and Model number as there are site where we can link you to Pics. (and look at wording ourselves)
    Re 7)
    This has too many variables based on the answer to 6) and the semantics of different device manufacturers to offer a clear answer here.
    Going back to my Pic though, you can set the number of IPs in the DHCP range on some devices.
    You can in fact use a mixture of Static IPs and a reduced range of DHCP Issued ones.In this case it may pay for you to post a pic On-Line somewhere for us to see or email a me a pic of the Screen Shot of that page. (my email can be found clicking my name on the left).
    Summary,
    I think I have covered the broader bits you have not discovered yet although I have left out about which ports are open by default if you are not using UPnP in the modem.
    (I have also written with an eye to other readers and other devices)
    I have listed the way to set Static routing.
    Using UPnP does away with worrying about the IP changing in the set up you describe.
    The IP changing only becomes important if the modem is using Port Forwarding to open the ports for iChat (Or it's extreme form of DMZ).
    Could you confirm that this is what you are doing ?
    Can you answer the question or post new ones if you have not under stood anything ?
    Basically Routing DSL modem to Airport in Bridge Mode to computer is good.
    It will be about how the ports are opened that will govern how you proceed from here.

  • Ipod Touch works with APPLE and not WINDOWS

    I have a first generation touch. Yesterday the PC crashed while syncing with the iTouch. After that it would not see the iPod any longer. However the APPLE I have sees it just fine. I have gone through the detailed uninstall and re install itunes process several times and tried cleaning the registry - still nothing http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923 .
    The PC based iTunes syncs with another 2G and a nano and a shuffle just fine. Windows also sees the 1G Touch..... ideas other than moving my library to my laptop? I have also reset the 1G and upgraded the software now to the latest firmware. It still works with the APPLE but not with the PC. I am sure this is a driver issue but I cannot get it fixed.

    Well I happened on the answer after doing a lot of searches. Why doesn't apple post the fix on their site. This problem is due to their installation package for Vista and the fix does not require all the uninstalls and re installs you have been asked to do so many times....

    Re: Ipod touch is recognized as a camera
    Posted: Feb 16, 2009 7:43 AM in response to: Twin195 Reply Email
    This solution is very similar to one above but worked for me. Am using iPod Touch 2nd Gen with 32 bit version of Windows Vista where the iTouch is being seen by Windows but does not show in iTunes. In my case it was being identified by Windows as a camera. I tried un-installing and re-installing iTunes and all the other Apple apps with no luck. Was almost ready to throw in the towel when I did one last search for alternate solutions and found the following instructions to reinstall the drivers, but instead of having the system look to the c:\Windows\inf or c:\windows\system 32 folders for the drivers, the path is changed to C:\program files\common files\Apple\Apple Mobile Support\Drivers, which is apparently where Vista installs the drivers. Once I changed the path the driver properly reflected the iTouch as a USB device, and not a digital camera. Try this if you are having similiar issues.
    Here are the steps:
    1. Verify you have the following files usbaapl.cat, usbaapl.inf & usbaapl.sys in the following directory "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers"
    2. Log in using an ADMINISTRATIVE account
    3. Single left click on START
    4. Single left click on RUN (You may need to change the start menu to 'classic view' to see RUN, you can change back after if you like)
    5. Type in " devmgmt.msc " then hit Enter (Don't type in the quotes)
    6. Look for Imaging in the Device Manager window, and click on plus sign (In Vista you may not see the "Imaging" option. Look under "Portable Devices" as an alternative)
    7. Now you should see " Apple iPod " as a device underneath Imaging (or Portable Devices)
    8. Right click on " Apple iPod " then single left click on Properties
    9. Single left click on the " Driver " tab
    10. Single left click on " Update driver "
    11. Select " Install from a list or specific location " or "Browse my computer" whichever shows on your version of Vista
    12. Single left click on " Include this location in the search " if shown
    13. Paste " C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers " (Don't type in the quotes) into the box " Include this location in the search "
    14. Single left click NEXT and keep clicking through until " Apple iPod USB Driver " is detected, if no list appears then you should see the little animated circle thingie spinning. It's looking and working. Be patient.
    15. Hopefully you will get a successful message.
    16. The correct drivers(s) are now installed.
    17. Start up iTunes, and see if you iPod is detected again.
    Hope this works for you as it did for me and several others.

  • I want to Use iChat with Skype to Videoconference several people

    I want to video conference in my niece in New Zealand (PC using Skype) with iChat and the rest of my Mac family stateside.
    I have Skype for Mac running and I have the iChat AV running. Any chance to hook in the Skype User with the iChat multi-pane video conference?
    It looks like iChat only accepts iChat and AIM but not Skype. My niece apparently cannot get AIM in New Zealand.
    Any clever help would be appreciated.

    I want to use iChat for Skype as well. I want one chat client for all my communications. That was the point of iChat in the beginning, wasn't it? Hopefully, Apple will jump on the ball and support the best way for us common folk to communicate internationally. The supported Aim when they were king, why not the new king?
    I stinks that I can not use the great app, because one no Skype but two I don't know anyone else that uses .mac.

    Binary Images Description for "iChat":.....[snip: binary image stuff]
    Why would we be able to talk to the robots, but not to each other. Any ideas?

    All,
    Thanks for your input. And thanks especially to James Weston, Jeremy Varner, and Defcom, for kindly allowing me to test my iChat with them (and in the case of Jeremy, in the middle of the night).
    After working pretty hard on the issue, I resolved my inability to iChat. In my case, the solution to Error-8 turned out to be pretty simple.
    As described elsewhere on this board, the issue was open ports in my router. Instead of hassling with port forwarding, however, I 1) updated my firmware; and 2) once updated to the latest version, I activated UPnP. YMMV.
    That first bit was important, as selecting UPnP on my old firmware apparently didn't work. Once updated, however, I had no problem chatting with the testers. Also, as descrbed elsewhere, don't put much stock in your ability to iChat with the robots. Use the live testers. The ones I chatted with were helpful and extremely accomadating.
    Good luck all.

  • How to make an account in iChat with Apple ID but no .mac?

    Hi everyone,
    my Apple ID is my email adress but not ending with @mac.com or @me.com. How can I make an account in iChat with my Apple ID without making an extra ID with an @mac.com name?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    An Apple ID that you may use for Logging in to Discussions to Post and may also link to your iTunes account and the Apple Store purchases is not the same as an Account/Screen Name for iChat.
    @mac.com names were at one time given out when you purchased the .mac service (predecessor to MobileMe).
    However trial versions on .mac allowed the name to work in iChat after the trial was up (As well as Lapsed Paid for ones)
    The Email services stopped at the end of the trial or if you stopped paying for the service.
    However when MobileMe started and replaced .Mac people could elect to keep their @Mac.com names
    Therefore @mac.com name may or may not be valid email addresses.
    Since then Apple have allowed new @mac.com names to be created to use as free iChat names (not valid Email Addresses)
    Apple names ending @mac.com and @Me.com (MobileMe) are valid AIM screen Names in iChat. (Agreement between Apple an AIM)
    (MobileMe is free during the trial period but requires Credit Card up front and Active discontinuation before the Trial is up and also does not work after the Trial is cancelled)
    You can also Use AIM names Register here
    These tend to not have any @something.com suffixes.
    You can also use any GoogleMail ID if you enable Talk on your Google account.
    Using a third Party Jabber app you can register a Jabber ID (Also looks like a email address) as most Jabber servers doe not have Web Browser accessible registration pages.
    Summary.
    An Apple ID created to Login into Discussions is unlikely to be linked to iChat.
    (it can be done as you say with @Mac.com or @Me.com names)
    An Apple ID can be linked to iTunes and for making On-line Store purchases.
    There are options to creating an iChat ID.
    AIM would most likely suit you needs of not having an @mac.com or @me.com suffix
    Jabber names look like Email Addresses but rarely work as such with the exception of GoogleTlak/GoogleMail IDs
    NOTES:-
    A GoogleTalk or Jabber ID can add Jabber or GoogleTalk Buddies but not those that Login to AIM.
    A Valid AIM Screen Name can not have Jabber/GoogleTalk Buddies added to it.
    An AIM valid Screen name could be from AIM or Apple (@mac.com or @me.com) or from any other ISP AIM has an Agreement with for using their Email Address.
    This last part means you may see Buddy's screen Names that have other @ type suffixes
    In fact the AIM Registration page allows you to use any Email as the Screen Name (I have seen a Hotmail one used)
    This means as both AIM and Jabber use names that end @server(mail or otherwise).com/net/whatever as there can be some confusion when adding Buddies to a Buddy List.
    I hope I have been clear enough.
