IChat with leopard on 867Mhz G4

I was led to believe that it should be ok but I can't get it to work. Audio is fine but its saying I have a 'slow network'.
Anyone help?
The rest of Leopard is running great tho! Well done Apple...

Same problem here on my brother's PBG4 867MHz. I even tried using Bonjour when I was in town. Still said slow network.
At the time we were being routed through an Apple AirPort Base Station, so I created an AirPort network (computer to computer) on my MBP and had him join it. Still said slow network.
Tried trashing iChat plist in his user account, still nothing. Tried creating an entirely new user on his machine. Same thing.
We can't do screen sharing either.

Video iChat with Leopard on iMac G4

Hi I was wondering if it would be better to get an older version of iChat for an iMac 1.25GHz G4 instead of the current version that comes with Leopard. I was looking at the system requirements w\ iChat in Leopard and it looks like the picture would be 160 by 120, which wouldn't even be worth the price of an iSight camera. Any info?

Have you asked the iChat gurus in the iChat discussion area?

(Slow Network): iSight camera not working in iChat since Leopard upgrade

I have a different type of iChat video issue. My Power Mac G4, 867 MHz, 1 GB DRAM is a supported Mac for the Leopard upgrade. I've successfully installed OS 10.5.
Also my Power Mac meets the iChat Conferencing Requirements for 1-on-1 Video Chat per the OS 10.5 system requirements and the application note here:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301050
My iSight camera is connected via Firewire to an Apple Cinema Display, which feeds back to the Power Mac G4.
1) When I boot from my 10.3.9 Carbon Copy Cloner backup my iSight works in iChat (at least locally to see myself) without any issue. Green light comes on and shows me locally on video and audio sound bars. Before the OS upgrade the iSight worked fine for live video conferences with iChat 2.1.3 under Mac OS 10.3.9
2) Running OS 10.5 when I go to iChat 4.0's preferences video pane the following message is waiting "This computer does not support video conferencing."
3) With Leopard iChat 4.0 the Connector Doctor under "capabilities" says "(Slow Network)" for 1-on-1 Video Chat and won't even show video locally or turn on the iSight's green light.

Fixed!
My Power Mac Quicksilver G4, 867 MHz. problem with (Slow Network) in the iChat Connection Doctor, no video preview or video iChat since upgrading to OS 10.5 Leopard and iChat 4.0 has been solved with the following posted towards the end of the thread below. I can finally see my video preview with iChat 4.0 and have also video chatted successfully with one other user.

ATI Radeon 9600 Mac & PC Edition will not work with leopard

When I installed a new ATI Radeon 9600 Mac & PC Edition, 256MB; my Dual 2 GHz G5 (June 2004) will not allow me to drive my Apple Cinema Display while running under leopard, (neither 10.5.1 or 10.5.2 with Leopard Graphics Update).
The mac starts up as usual and gets to the white screen with Apple logo -then the progress ring eventually stalls. The mouse pointer becomes visible and can be moved freely around this screen.
I can connect from other macs on the network and navigate files, but screen sharing results in an all black window.
The Radeon 9600 works fine if I start up the mac with the Tiger installation disk.
I have tried every suggestion that I could find on these boards and elsewhere: zapped the pram, reset the SMU, installed older ATI Drivers, etc...
Of course the G5 is far out of warranty. I've been running Leopard since the day it shipped - so that's out of warranty now, and there is little help to be found on the ATI/AMD website. I'm afraid I'll have to return the card before Apple releases another graphics update.
The stock graphics card that came with this mac is the nVIDIA 64MB GeForce FX 5200 - but it's having trouble keeping up with Leopard's demands - my isight barely works, most special effects in iChat and PhotoBooth are unusable, and of course I'm not given the option to use a transparent menu bar,
I am really good at swapping video cards in the G5 now - but I'm so frustrated.
Does anyone else have any suggestions?
thanks

IChat 4 (Leopard) Chat Window Location always the same

Anytime I get an incoming chat or if I start one, the chat window always appears in the same (annoying) place. If I rearrange the window, it doesn't stay for the next time. I never had this problem with Leopard on other Macs, and I don't know how to go about "fixing" this annoying quirk. Any ideas? Thanks.

Hi,
iChat windows follow two sets of rules depending on whether they are incoming of outgoing Chats.
This applies to all forms.
Incoming chat invites are always in the same place.
Top Right for any Incoming Text chat.
Slightly lower for Audio chats.
Video Chats are always top centre of the screen.
As you can have more than one Text chat going On subsequent Invites stack down and slightly right on each one until you get to the edge of the Screen and then start left of the first and continue (much like opening multiple Documents)
Outgoing chats are simple.
It will always be in the place you left the last chat (if you dismissed the Window).
If you do not dismiss the window then subsequent windows do the same multiple Document thing.
Chax an iChat Add-On does allow some control over the windows but I am not sure about the specifics about Incoming windows.

Screen sharing from iChat with Mountain Lion

I have not upgraded yet. I want to, but I am concerned that I will no longer have the ability to screen shard with my parents out of state.
I utilize iChat to control my parents computer, they live out of state and are not too computer savvy, this has been a life saver for me. Does Mountain Lion have a feature like this or is it gone with iChat? Is there a video chat option, or am I stuck with facetime???

Hi,
Yes.
You have to use the same iChat ID as you do now. (AIM or Jabber based)
You have to (it's just easier) have the Buddy lists on View (by default they are not)
Yahoo was added for iChat 6 and is in Messages but does not do A/V chats
iMessage (the new Apple Services between Apple iOS devices and Macs with Mountain Lion) is also Text only.
You have to be able to do A/V Chats.
Speed-wise over the Internet this has to at least 128kbps (the same as a Video Chat on a 1-1 basis)
Another way to view this is that Messages is iChat with the iMessages ability shoehorned in and with a main interface change.
When you first start up Messages it tends to push you to enter an Apple ID to "register it" for the iMessage service.
If you migrate an older OS's User Account to the computer the System Preferences > Mail, Contacts and Calendars (New Preference Pane) picks up on email and other IDs which tends to mean they get added to Messages for you.
You can of course add Screen Names and IDs using the + Button in Messages menu > Preferences Accounts like you do in iChat.
This tends to mean the Messages Menu > Preferences > Accounts looks very familiar
The Window Menu can look a little different.
CMD + 0 brings up the Messages main window (A Chat Window that does tabbed Chats and an Interface all rolled into one)
Once you have other non iMessages Accounts then CMD + 1 brings up Buddies (A combined Buddy List). It is not listed until they are logged in.
They can be unlinked in the General Section of the Preferences at the "Gather all Accounts into one List" line.
Your "desktop" can then look like iChat used to:-

VoIP, PBX and iChat in Leopard

We've recently had serious problems with our ISP and BT at my work (in the UK), which has prompted us to consider changing ISPs:
http://bbs.adslguide.org.uk/showthreaded.php?Cat=&Board=whichbusinessisp&Number= 2617948
In the process I thought it would be worth looking into VoIP, but one thing I need to get to the bottom of is PBX when using VoIP. Can anyone offer any advice on potential solutions/alternatives?
What are the chances of iChat in Leopard supporting VoIP to ordinary telephones and some sort of built-in PBX system?
I've had a quick look at Asterix (which is compatible with Gizmo Project) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asterisk_PBX but it doesn't seem like the easiest software to install/maintain. Does anyone have any experience with it on Mac OS X?
Our hardware currently consists of:
10x Workstations running Mac OS X 10.4.7
1x Server running Mac OS X Server 10.4.5
Our current PBX system is BT's Versatality:
http://www.htcnetworks.co.uk/BT%20Versatility.htm

Leopard Server's only just (finally) giving us multi-user calendaring... I think PBX/VOIP in OSX server might be a long way off
Commnigate Pro does VOIP & PBX out of the box (as well as being an excellent mailserver) http://www.stalker.com/content/realtime.htm
I've have not implemented their VOIP, only their mailserver (by far best mailserver I've ever admin'd). Here are the PBX FAQs form their site found this on their site:
http://www.stalker.com/content/faq.htm#IPPBX1
The CGPro mailing list is a great resource... many mac sysadmins there who could help with pre-sales questions & initial config.

Cannot Ichat with Airport Express

Hi all,
Having installed Leopard on our Imac G5 we could no longer do ichat, we also had a new router a Speedtouch ST536 v6. We solved the problem with the help of the helpline at speedtouch, they got me to set up a PPPoE account and that enabled us to do ichat with family in the UK. What we really want is a wireless connection so we then installed an airport card and installed airport express. We can happily connect to the internet and email but again we cannot video ichat (we can text). I have spoken to apple and to speedtouch neither will accept responsibility for our problem. If the modem is the problem then can someone just tell me or does anyone, I don't fully understand what a PPPoE connection is and why this works but Airport Express does. I am desperate to be wireless and use ichat, HOW CAN THIS BE ACHEIVED. Any help gratefully receibed, I am so frustrated with the whole thing!!!!

If it's not already, the AirPort Express Base Station (AX) should be configured as a "bridge."
To set up the AirPort Express Base Station (AX) as a "bridge," using the AirPort Utility, either connect to the AX's wireless network or temporarily connect your computer directly (using an Ethernet cable) to the Ethernet port of the AX, and then, try these settings:
AirPort > Wireless tab
o Wireless Mode: Create a wireless network
o Network Name: <leave the default>
o Radio Mode: 802.11b/g compatible
o Channel: Automatic
Internet > Internet Connection
o Connect Using: Ethernet
o Configure IPv4: Using DHCP
o Ethernet WAN Port: Automatic (Default)
o Connection Sharing: Off (Bridge Mode)

Cannot start iChat with friend - receive error "Invalid remote IP address"

I'm having trouble connecting to iChat with friend. We are both using AIM accounts and click on connect. The other person accepts the invitation and iChat tries to connect. It fails and I receive the error message, "invalid remote IP address". I'm am using Mac OS X Tiger while my friend has Leopard. Does that make a difference? I appreciate any feedback.

The Leopard end should make sure that in System Preferences > Sharing has Internet Sharing Off.
Also they should not be connected to the Internet twice such as Wifi and Ethernet to the same router.
Using Parallels in Leopard causes a similar issue.
In this case turn Off the two VPNs in System Preferences > Network (and set Parallels itself to get it's Own IP and not share the Mac's)
Some MIMO modem or Wifi routers can cause this.
Get a new modem or router is the simple answer to that one.

IChat Video Leopard to Tiger

I'm having trouble getting video chat to work within iChat. Video chatting works fine with people with Leopard, but my friend has Tiger and it won't work.
My iMac(with Leopard) will show her video feed, but she can only see herself. We both can hear each other, and I can see her. But for some reason she can't see me.
Anybody got any ideas?
P.S. - All ports are fine, firewalls off.

Have you or the other got Perian installed http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1894107&tstart=25

What's wrong with Leopard mail, its allowed in, something corrupting my mac

Hi,
I recently bought a brand new 24 inch iMac and Leopard. Most things were fine until I received an unsolicited email on 28th Nov ...from a
Gemma Hindley FW; Compost like a pro
since then mail has gone haywire. I cannot delete this email at all. I cant receive any emails and I work from home and am really desperate as this is causing me major stress.
The waste paper icon has gone from my mail window and although emails are deleted from the working window, the dont go in the waste bin or the waste bin in the dock.When I quit ad reopen Gemma Hindley reappears.
Many times a completely different window appears when I open mail one that I have never seen before and is very difficult to navigate. many of the icons in the mail header bar are non operative with this window.
Other times Mail wont open, or wont quit, or cant send emails, have nt received any since Gemma this email. Then I went through this forum and found that if I
Open mail go to prefs general and switch check mail "manually.
Force quit mail
Open Mail again go to prefs junk mail and turn off spam filtering
This then allowed me to open the usual mail working window and I received that infuriating email again and no other ones at all. I have sent myself emails and so have others but they have not been received by me at all. the above steps allowed me to send emails.
There is obviously a problem with Leopard mail. Whether or not this email has corrupted my mac I don't know. It looks like it is blocking all my incoming emails.
I am not as adept as many of you on this forum, just a simple user trying to earn a living and not able to do so at present. Help greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance. George UK

For anyone else reading this thread, it is worth knowing that sometimes an email is, or can be, corrupted thereby jamming the works. The solution above is good, but I just wanted to suggest another one.
If the problem arises, go to an online mail access service, such as Mail2Web.com and login to you mail account there and delete the offending message.
Problem solved.
And George, as this is all entirely voluntary, whinging about no takers may not endear people to you. Besides which, a few minutes of searching on Google would have found you a number of solutions.

Constant lock ups with Leopard!

I find myself having to hold in the power button to turn my computer off almost everyday now! I am not sure what is causing these constant lock ups! Ever since upgrading to Leopard have I noticed this. Yesterday It happened when trying to open iTunes. Today it happened when I clicked on MAIL. The icon just bounces in the dock and nothing happens. I hit FORCE QUIT and that doesn't work either.
Do I need to clear something out or get rid of something? Even when I try to restart my computer sometimes that will lock up too! The only way to get around any of these issues is to hold in the power button to turn the whole computer off, wait a few seconds and turn it back on. Once its back on, then I have full functionality out the computer again but its getting on my nerves that I have to do this all to often!
I think they are some cool features with Leopard but I am experiencing way to many bugs/problems with it to be 100% happy with it.
As I am writing this posting, I just clicked on my APPLE icon in the top left of the screen and then clicked ABOUT THIS MAC to make sure I was using the most current version, and NOTHING happened!

Try reinstalling. It sounds like you did an upgrade from an earlier version that may have been corrupt to start with. You may be able to do the following:
How to Perform an Archive and Install
An Archive and Install will NOT erase your hard drive, but you must have sufficient free space for a second OS X installation which could be from 3-9 GBs depending upon the version of OS X and selected installation options. The free space requirement is over and above normal free space requirements which should be at least 6-10 GBs. Read all the linked references carefully before proceeding.
1. Be sure to use Disk Utility first to repair the disk before performing the Archive and Install.
Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (4.0 for Tiger) and/or TechTool Pro (4.5.2 for Tiger) to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
2. Do not proceed with an Archive and Install if DU reports errors it cannot fix. In that case use Disk Warrior and/or TechTool Pro to repair the hard drive. If neither can repair the drive, then you will have to erase the drive and reinstall from scratch.
3. Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When you reach the screen to select a destination drive click once on the destination drive then click on the Option button. Select the Archive and Install option. You have an option to preserve users and network preferences. Only select this option if you are sure you have no corrupted files in your user accounts. Otherwise leave this option unchecked. Click on the OK button and continue with the OS X Installation.
4. Upon completion of the Archive and Install you will have a Previous System Folder in the root directory. You should retain the PSF until you are sure you do not need to manually transfer any items from the PSF to your newly installed system.
5. After moving any items you want to keep from the PSF you should delete it. You can back it up if you prefer, but you must delete it from the hard drive.
6. You can now download a Combo Updater directly from Apple's download site to update your new system to the desired version as well as install any security or other updates. You can also do this using Software Update.
