Image transfer via AIM doesn't work in Messages anymore

My chat contacts and me are experiences many issues with inline image transfer via AIM since Yosemite, especially if two people have different OS versions. If one party is on Yosemite, image transfer with the standard server settings doesn’t work anymore. I read in one of the other threads here that port 5190 is required for image transfer. The default setting is 443 (and it should change the port for image automatically?). Is it possible that something with the ports or the SSL behavior has changed for Messages 9 on Yosemite? (I have computers with 10.10 and 10.8 and experience issues both ways chatting with someone on a different OS).
It seems to work if everyone switches off SSL which changes the default settings to login.oscar.aol.com and port 5190. If both parties have this setting it works. If one uses port 443 and SSL on it doesn’t. But switching off SSL is not a sustainable solution. Any other ideas? I tried to force port 5190 and slogin.oscar… with SSL but then can’t connect.

Have responded in Yosemite.

  • IPhone 5 contacts local sync via usb doesn't work - updated

    Syncing an iPhone 5, AT&T 64GB, with Macbook Air 11" mid-2011, 1.8GHz / 4GB.
    OS X 10.10.2; iTunes 12.1.0.50; iOS 8.1.3.
    I am trying to sync my contacts from my OS X Contacts App to my iPhone 5 via USB. The contacts do not sync. The contacts are local, "on my mac". I am using a usb cable through iTunes.
    The iPhone 5 was just restored by Apple Configurator, set up as new iPhone, and is supervised by the MacBook Air.
    I am also synchronizing my local Calendars from the OS X Calendar app; these transfer just fine. This makes me think it is probably not to do with the entire setup of the iPhone, i.e. that it is managed by apple configurator, since some of the sync works correctly.
    Under "info" in the iTunes sync dialog, I have selected the "sync contacts" and "all contacts" and "sync calendars" and "all calendars" options.
    Interestingly, while the Calendars sync options displays options of "selected calendars" and a list of my calendars available to sync, the Contacts section "selected groups" is grayed out. I have one group in Contacts, and it does not show up by name for "selected groups". Instead, the area where groups should be listed for selection is empty. Perhaps iTunes does not have access to my local contacts? It is not listed under apps with access to my contacts under security and privacy, and it has not requested access to my contacts.
    I created a fake contact on the phone and synced it with iTunes. I then turned off contact syncing in iTunes and told it to remove previously synced contacts. The fake contact disappeared. When I turned contact syncing on again, the contact was again pushed to the phone. However, the fake contact did not appear at any point in the OS X Contacts App, and none of my OS X Contacts appeared on my phone -- only the fake contact I had created on my phone and then synced with iTunes.
    I also created a (different) fake contact in OS X Contacts. iTunes sync did not transfer this contact (or any others) from OS X Contacts to iPhone.
    SUMMARY:
    - syncing iPhone 5 via USB with iTunes
    - Calendar sync works
    - Contacts sync doesn't work
    - iTunes appears to have no communication with the OS X Contacts app; in system prefs > security and privacy > privacy > contacts, Pages and Word have access to Contacts, but iTunes is not listed. iTunes Contacts sync "selected groups" does not display my OS X Contacts group names.
    - Contacts created on iPhone sync back to iTunes and are restored back to the iPhone if deleted and resynced.
    - Contacts created on iPhone do not sync back to OS X Contacts; Contacts in OS X Contacts do not sync to iPhone.
    (apologies for premature posting to "Using iPhone"; I accidentally submitted and now can't delete or edit).

    Here's the resolution: I went to my local Apple store and spoke to the guy. After some discussion it turned out that one of the staff had had a similar problem. He suggested this course and I can report that it seems to work. So, (1) open your system preferences and then the print & fax setting and delete the printer in question (2) disconnect the USB between the printer and the TimeCapsule (3) shut everything down and turn off power to your modem, your TimeCapsule and your whole system (4) power on each item in its normal sequence (5) wait for your iMac to complete its boot-up, (6) re-connect the USB between the printer and the TimeCapsule (7) open system preferences and search for and install the relevant printer (8) try printing.
    This is hardly elegant, but it worked. I am told (by the same Apple store) that hitting the "reset" button in the TimeCapsule might also work. If this is intuitive or obvious to anyone else then my compliments to them ...

  • Importing RAW images from Canon S50 doesn't work

    I took some pictures with my Canon Powershot S50 in RAW mode but iPhoto '08 won't read them. Apple lists this camera as having a readable RAW format. What could be the problem?

    archived so no comments possible. Still doesn't work though.

  • What's going on with ios8... Screen rotate does not work anymore, wifi doesn't work very well anymore and apps are crashing or running slow... Come on Apple sort this mess out

    ssince I updated my iPhone 5s to ios8 ive had nothing but problems...
    first the the screen rotation is not working... Checked the settings and  lock is off.... The wifi is intermittent, some times it works sometimes it doesn't....
    the he iPhone is really slow now, like really labouring.... It hangs and crashes all the time.... I have to close apps down completely because they won't work from quick launch anymore.... Even writing this the phone is labouring.... It's like my old 48k spectrum.... I don't expect this from Apple and when you spend £400-500 on a phone you expect it to work and play propperly....  come on Apple you need to sort out this mess of a update.... Ios 7 was no bother......

    Same issue here... iphone5S 64GB.  It's intermittent.  Sometimes the rotation works fine, sometimes it doesn't, but most of the time it doesn't work.
    The first time I figured out it wasn't working was when all newly-taken photos and videos were showing up in portrait mode though I always hold in landscape mode when photographing.
    Rotation lock is disabled (tried toggling it on and off).  Tried recalibrating the compass on a whim, no effect (although my compass seems to always require calibration when it's launched now).
    This issue only started happening after upgrading to iOS8.  I did a reset/restore through iTunes rather than an OTA upgrade.
    UPDATE - power-cycling the phone seems to fix it temporarily.

  • Weird problem: apple-F doesn't work in Finder anymore!

    I've just noticed 2 really weird problems. When in Finder, hitting apple-F (to "Find") doesn't work - I see the File menu blink for a second but the window to search for files never comes up. Also (and perhaps related?), since the latest set of Apple upgrades, when I run iTunes, it doesn't see my library. The newest version runs, but never brings up its main window. The older version does bring out its window but my music doesn't appear there. What the heck is going on?!? Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks,
    Mike

    Well, first, the likely fix for your Command-F problem (and other problems you've probably been lucky enough not to stumble upon just yet) is to fix permissions. But you'll probably find you can't do that in the first place until you do the main fix discussed in that large thread.
    Join the crew.

  • Save link as option doesn't work as expected anymore

    When I formerly right clicked a link to a file (to download) and chose the option '''Save link as''', I was able to save the file to the location I specified.
    At the moment this doesn't work anymore. When I click the same link as before and choose save link as, firefox wants to save the .htm page instead of the .csv file.

    You can try "Reset Download Actions": http://kb.mozillazine.org/File_types_and_download_actions

  • Projectm doesn't work with amarok anymore.

    Not the most urgent issue in the world.  I was just wondering if this happened to anyone else.

    projectm is not working with amarok anymore because the package has been split in libs, xmms plugin and libvisual plugin. also as projectm now requires libvisual 0.4.0 it cannot be built for arch yet. many apps including amarok are not yet properly ported to libvisual 0.4.0 so we stick with 0.2.0.
    amarok 1.4.1 in particular has libvisual 0.4.0 support but as a matter of fact crashes a lot when it is enabled. tpowa patched it back to use libvisual 0.2.0 because of that.
    in essence, projectm currently does not work with amarok.

  • Uploading a logo via SMW0 doesn't work

    HI.
    I've tried uploading a company logo via SMW0. However I'm prompted to enter a Package. I've tried $TMP, Z001 (the package our developers are currently using), and tried others starting with "T" as suggested. Whether I try to upload as a local object or select the other icon (transportable to other systems), I have not been successful.
    This is a Dev server. Once uploaded, I hope to transfer to QA and Prod, or replicate, whichever is doable.
    Am I missing a step somewhere?
    Thank you.
    Jaime G.

    Jaime,
    Here the steps:
       1. Transaction code - SMW0
       2. X - Binary data for WebRFC application
       3. Hit Enter
       4. Click Execute
       5. Click Settings -> Maintain MIME types
       6. Click the Create button
       7. Fill in :- TYPE : image/gif EXTENSION : .GIF
       8. Click Save
       9. Click Back to the Binary data for WebRFC
      10. Click Create
      11. Fill in :- Obj. name : ZXXXX.GIF Description :
      12. Company Logo
      13. Click Import and specify the filename where your
      14. GIF file is
      15. located.File type is BIN. Finish press the
      16. Transfer button.
      17. If successful, your logo will be shown in the
      18. Binary data for
      19. WebRFC.
      20. Transaction code SM30 - Table/View - SSM_CUST
      21. Click Maintain
      22. Click New Entries
      23. Name Value to be set
      24. START_IMAGE ZXXXX.GIF (this entry may need to created)
      25. RESIZE_IMAGE NO (may need to be created. 'Yes' is the system default if not included. If your graphic contains text or other elements that do not scale well, use this setting. I found that an image of 500x500pixels is a good starting point)
      26. Logoff and Login again (or login to another session to test)

  • Start BEX via RRMX doesn't work

    Hello
    BW 3.5 /SAP GU 6.2
    It is possible to access bex via system-> program-> BEx -> analyzer.
    However transaction RRMX doesn't start BEX . There is also no error message. But the EXCEL Process starts ( seen in the Windows Task Manager) and disappears immediately.
    I have also checked authorization, where everything is ok.
    Please has anyone a good idea how to solve or at least some investigation ideas.

    Hello
    Thanks a lot of your answer. Perhaps I didnt write all important information on this issue down.
    It is a user, who is not able to start Bex via RRMX. However when I start RRMX it works perfectly and we are on the same platform.
    Do you have another idea?

  • RELINKING IMAGES MANUALLY IN INDESIGN DOESN'T WORK

    Hello,
    Please help,
    I am opening an Indesign CS3 EPS image file in Indesign CS4 which is made by combining 2 Clipping path images. The problem is: I am not ablt to use the images manually. however, automatic relink works fine. Although I don't know where that option is. I just want to use manual relink.
    any suggestions??
    thanks
    Rachael

    I've seen cases where this "Mini Save"/ "Automatic Recovery" did not work at all.
    Rare cases, but:
    Always when the InDesign file is opened on a different computer and you are working on a network. And someone pulls the plug from that other computer (shutting it down, ignoring the messages that another machine is hooked)!
    SO: I would never rely or bet on the otherwise fabulous feature "Mini Save"/ "Automatic Recovery".
    There is a startup script around in the web by Martin Fischer somewhere on the site hilfdirselbst.ch, that saves a copy of the actual file in a special folder every time you do a "save" or "cmd + s" adding a continous number to the auto saved file name.

  • Spry Image Slideshow with Filmstrip doesn't work in IE, but works in Safari and Firefox

    Hello,
    The Spry slideshow with filmstrip wiget works fine in Firefox and Safari. However, it does not work in Internet Explorer. The slideshow looks like it is loading (the little circle spins), then it disappears and the slideshow is replaced with an empty space and a little white box with the red x (that normally signifies a missing picture of picture that can't load for some reason). Has anyone found a solution to this problem? I was hoping that the widget would work in Safari, Firefox, and IE. Does anyone know of another option for adding a slideshow that works in all three browsers?
    Thanks!!

    gatorgirl,
    Here are the first lines in my template.  The Spry Menu script src and link statements are the only two lines that have to be moved (on your template or any page for that matter) above the Spry Slideshow  src and link statements.  Just leave the Slideshow code in the same position that Dreamweaver inserts it.   When you create a new document from your template, Dreamweaver leaves it alone.  Just set it and forget it.   I've wrestled with all sorts of other solutions listed on this forum and this is the fix that continues to work for me!  It seems to me that the only reason this solution works is that javascript is a procedural language and some code in the Spry Slideshow javascript has some conflict (maybe a name/symbol problem) with the Spry Slideshow javascript.  If someone else knows the absolute reason for this ordering problem, please feel free to come back and teach me!!  Always ready to learn something new!!
    I hope this helps you!

  • Vim via FTP doesn't work

    Hi there,
    I've got an error with netrw and vim: when i try to open a file on my ftp server (either with "vim ftp://login@host" or via Nautilus), i get a:
    **warning** (netrw) cannot determine method (format: protocol://[user@]hostname[:port]/[path])
    error message.
    FTP with other tools (gEdit for exemple) works fine.
    Do you know where the error came from ?

    > If you are asking me how to disable sftp but let ssh work, it can't be done
    Oh, but it can.
    SFTP runs as a subsystem to SSH.
    If you check /etc/sshd_config you'll find a line near the end:
    <pre class=command>Subsystem sftp /usr/libexec/sftp-server</pre>
    If you want to run SSH, but not SFTP, comment out this line.
