IChat won't work, dangerous turn off fire wall???

If anyone can help I set up ichat with two .mac accounts that can text chat with each other over a cable comcast connection and video chat with yahoo messenger but iChat will not connect to other person says that they are declining connection and they are not, they are accepting connection. You think apple would make this a lot more simpler than what I have seen for suggested solutions. And I can connect with yahoo messenger and have a live video feed but no audio ??? Come on apple yahoo is beta software and it works what gives?

Yes - I bought a wireless mouse just a few months ago and suddenly I am encountering exactly the problem you describe.
I wonder if anyone can explain this, or has a fix for it?

Efax 7510 still won't work after turning off/on ePrint several times

I'm trying to send an eFax over and over after turning off and on the ePrint button under the webservices menu but without any success. The message keeps stating that it's not connected to a network. I am 100% sure that it is connected to my wireless network because I check that out and print a copy of the page stating that this printer is connected.
What could the problem be? Please help!

Hi daisyforu,
Welcome to the HP Support forums. I understand that you are getting an error message about not being connected when you try to enable the web services for your Photosmart 7510.
The error message you are receiving is indicating that the printer doesn't have an independent connection the internet. Please set a static ip address and manual DNS servers by following the steps below.
1)       Please enter the ip address of the printer into the address bar of your browser (Internet Explorer, Chrome, Firefox, or Safari, etc). My screen shots below are from Safari but the location of everything is the same regardless of the browser. This will bring up the embedded web server of the printer.
2)      Please click on the network tab. You should see the Network Summary for your printer. Please click on 'Networking' on the left hand side menu.
3)      Please click on 'Network Address (IP)' on the left hand side menu.
4)      Please on the radial button beside "Manual IP" then click on "Suggest a Manual IP Address" button. The Manual IP address, Manual Subnet Mask and Manual Default Gateway should populate for you. Please click on radial button beside "Manual DNS Server". For the Manual Preferred DNS Server please enter 8.8.8.8 and for the Manual Alternate DNS Server please enter 8.8.4.4.
5)      Please click on 'Apply'. If you get a warning message about changing the ip address please click 'OK'.
6)      Please turn the printer off by the printer's power button. Please wait a minimum of 15 seconds and then turn the printer back on.
7)      Please press the ePrint icon in the upper left hand corner of the printer's front panel. This should prompt you to accept the terms of service. Please choose 'Accept'.
8)      When prompted about the automatic updates please choose 'Yes'. The printer should now show the HP logo while the printer communicates with the HP servers. The Web Services information sheet should print with the claim code for your printer.
Now that you have the ePrint feature is turned on before using the Fax feature I would recommend that you customize your ePrint email address. I have included a document here on how to do that.
You should now be able to get your eFax setup. I have included a document for you on how to do this here.
Regards,

Can't print with out turning off fire wall

I have just bought HP 5520 all in one printer installed on desktop and laptop. Laptop is wireless connect to AT&T 2wire router. I have Windows Vista 64-bit.
I had another HP all in one installed same way and every time I printed I never had to turn off the fire wall on the laptop. Now with the new HP 5520 printer I have to turn off the fire wall to print. My desktop is connected by WiFi and I DON'T have to turn off the fire wall.

Then you need to configure your firewall to allow the HP printer functions. Use the help for your firewall.

My ipod touch 4generation keeps freezing. I do the normal routine, but it won't work it turns off, but without me touching it, it will automatically turn on. It keeps getting frozen on the Apple Logo. What can i do?! Please Help!!

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Also
If you have Find My iPhone enabled, you can use Remote Wipe to erase the contents of your device. If you have been using iCloud to back up, you may be able to restore the most recent backup to reset the passcode after the device has been erased.

Ipad won't charge unless turned off

My iPad 2 won't charge unless turned off and in some cases not at all. It does this off and on. Typically, it'll stop charging when turned on and I can turn it off and charge it to over 40% (or so. . . .it varies) and then it will charge the rest of the way while turned on. And then, I can go through long periods --maybe a month-- where it will charge as usual (while on) but then suddenly it will stop charging while on and will only do so when off. This back and forth has gone on for several months. Today it stopped charging even when off. Given history, it might kick in and start charging suddenly but I fear that the battery could run out this time and I'll not be able to charge and restart it. I'm at 20%. I am using the iPad 10W charger and I have a new one so the cord is good and it works to charge my iPhone as well. I have also tried rebooting the system, holding down the home and start button. Anyone have experience with this and a solution?

you can also try the universal troubleshooting step of resetting your iPad. No data is lost so don't worry.
You can reset your iPad by simultaneously pressing and holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple Logo. This can take up to 15 seconds so be patient and don't release the buttons until the logo appears.
Try again to see if the problem persists.

I've had trouble with my Macbook since the first month I bought it. I've replaced the hard drive 3 to 4 times. Now some programs won't work or shut off by itself. Is it possible to ask for a complete exchange of products?

This may help you: http://store.apple.com/us/help/returns_refund
It would appear that you can ask for an exchange but it doesn't specify any time frame... Hopefully someone more knowledgeable can add to this.
By the way, if you've replaced the drive so many times, perhaps there's something else going on elsewhere.

Hello everyone...I got my very first macbook pro just today and i have a problem deleting the "test" user account. if i can't delete it, the system won't let me turn off the system. I don't know what to do! HELP!!!!

hello everyone...I got my very first macbook pro just today and i have a problem deleting the "test" user account. if i can't delete it, the system won't let me turn off the system. I don't know what to do! HELP!!!!

Have you created another admin user? Go to system preferences click users and click the + to add a user; if you haven't already. Once you have another admin user other then the "test" user make sure you're signed out of the test user account. Sign in with the alternate ADMIN USER that you just created or had created already and go back to SYSTEM PREFERENCES and click the same USERS icon near the bottom. Now select the TEST user and click the - sign. This should prompt you if your sure you want to delete the user account. And your done.
New User created and Test User deleted... I hope this helps.

I have an iPhone 5 and lately the battery won't last, it turns off at 20%, what could it be?

I have an iPhone 5 and lately the battery won't last, it turns off at 20%, what could it be? I have to recharge 3 times per day

I heard from an apple specilist once that it is good to let your iPhone die atleast once a month. My iPhone 5 battery lasts all day if I charge it before I go to bed. Try not using your iPhone when it is charging. If you don't notice a difference soon, consult with the apple store

HP Photosmart 7515 wireless printer reverts to Offline, won't print until turned off and on again.

All of the software is installed and it worked without any problem. The problem appears to occur after the computer has gone into standby. The only way I can get anything to print is to turn it off the printer and then turn it back on again. The troubleshooter simply tells me that the printer appears to be off (which it isn't) and tells me to turn it on. Is there any way to bring an offline printer back online without either rebooting the whole system or turning the printer off and on again? Needless to say, this is very annoying. I have never had this problem with any other printer.

CampValdez, did you ever solve your problem? I'm having a similar problem with a Photosmart 7525. I just returned a 7510 because of the same problem and now the 7525 won't work. I've spent the better part of 3 days on the phone with HP tech support to no avail and I'm ready to take the 7525 back. The software and printer have been reinstalled many times. I've changed the printer IP to a static IP. I've removed my Norton security software, I've tried to set it up on another computer, I've changed the channel on the router to channel 11 and nothing works for more than 10 minutes. The blue light on the printer indicating that it is on the network always is steady blue. I can get it to work by pressing the wireless symbol and then turning off the wireless and then turning it back on. When it's working I can access the printer from my web browser with the printer's IP. It seems once it goes to sleep, I cannot access the printer from the browser. Touching the screen and waking up the printer does not restore the communication between the computer and the printer. Since this problem persists with two printers and two different computers, I'm suspecting a router setting but I'm stumped. If you find your solution, I bet it's the same problem I'm having. It's unbelieveable that HP tech support seems clueless. A search shows this is not an uncommon problem.

I was trying to sync my iPhone & iPad, and caused a working message to appear "Turning Off Safari Data..." It's been on for a day, and I can't make it stop. Please help!

You could use icloud to sync contacts and calendars.
Both the ipad and iphone are intended to sync to a computer.
You can redownload apps from the app store, assuming that they are iphone compatible.

Safari and iChat won't work after lion upgrade

I just completed an upgrade to lion on my 2010 Mac mini and after reboot, safari won't open a web page..it just gets stuck with the blue loading bar about 1 inch from the left and iChat won't connect either. I've repaired permissions and rebooted several times, checked for 3rd party add-ons and still they won't work. Help! I need Internet again. I'm posting this on my iPad 2 because I can't get safari to load a page or download another browser like chrome or firefox:(

OK... i had a quick look around and it seems many peoples various issues were solved by just restarting their macs a few times... i downloaded the java update from the apple support site and then restarted twice and everything now working perfectly.
