Insufficient Bandwidth STILL a Problem

I've followed the instructions listed here:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301641
Still coming up short. Can anbody provide some other trouble-shooting tips.
Also, I don't know if this is important, but I am presently in Rome, Italy and am unable to iSight with family in the States. I have family in different states, and they can iSight between the two of them, but I am unable to do it with either. Can the "internation factor" be the issue? And if so, why?
Furthermore, I get "insufficient bandwidth" for both video and audio.
Thanks to anyone who can help.

You're welcome, Tim. Interesting points. And some new information..... ... it was certainly working fine just a couple of months ago.Then you can add the suggestions in How to get iChat AV working again to the trouble shooting possibilities I posted in my initial response.If something has that long of a page for trouble-shooting, then the system should be rebuilt, don't you think?I think the system is being rebuilt -- continually. Everyone, from ISPs to the Mac user, is continually updating and adding features to their systems. I believe that is one of the reasons iChat occasionally stops working. It certainly was for me.
After several days of trouble shooting last year, I eliminated everything but my ISP. After several minutes of probing questions and discussions, they finally admitted to me that they had installed new equipment and instituted numerous "improvements" the previous weekend -- the day my internet service stopped working. They made an adjustment, and I was up and running again in 20 minutes. These days, as it says in my How to get iChat AV working again checklist, checking with my ISP is early in the list.
For many of us, iChat AV really is plug and play. Apparently it was for you, too, for a period of time. However, with so much complexity in our individual systems, connection configurations, ISP operations, the very complexity of multi-party video chat capability itself, AND the occasional added complexity of changing locations (or countries,) there are a lot of things that can cause the system to occasionally stop working.
I wrote these lists to keep from forgetting any of the possibilities. However, nobody's system could be plagued by all of the problems listed. Consider only the items that might be relevant to YOUR system, and try them in the order your think will let you identify YOUR problem quickly.
Please let us know what it takes to get sorted.

"Insufficient Bandwidth Problem" and "Did not respond" error messages

I am getting 3 error messages when I try to video chat using isight and ichat with my son's PC (which does video chat with my husband's PC) I have not been able to video chat although I can instant message with my son's PC.
1. It says insufficient bandwidth"
2. It says "starting" for a LONG time, and never finishes.
3. Or they request a chat with me and I get a "Did not respond" message.
I have tried connecting with both my .mac account and my aim name inside of iChat
So far, I have:
1. Changed Quicktime streaming to 1mbps Cable
2. Reinstalled Quicktime 7.0.1, erasing 7.0.3
3. Made an ichat AV entry under Firewall, listing TCP etc ports for network entry, using numbers from previous posts
4. Firewall is off
Since video chat works between my son's computer and my husband's, I doubt that it is our cable company or my son's. My son can also video chat with friends in his area. They are using msn or aim. However I have not been able to establish a connection using ichat.
If there are no other fixes, then I will probably have to call Apple tomorrow for a return on the isight that I just purchased. Too bad, because the Los Angeles Times this morning said that iChatAV image quality is superior to even Skype's new product 2.0 for Windows. At this time Skype does not have a cross platform product. Is that the problem with iChatAV, it really only works with other Macs?
Please advise if there is anything else that I can do to correct the problem. I have used an apple computer for more than 20 years, since the first little Apple IIc that I had. This is the first thing that I haven't been able to figure out.
Thank you,
Linda

HI,
This
1. It says insufficient bandwidth"
2. It says "starting" for a LONG time, and never finishes.
3. Or they request a chat with me and I get a "Did not respond" message.
Normally implies the ports are not open some where.
The bit I have changed to Bold is not specific enough

Can you tell us exactly which ports you have opened and which protocols. APple Doc 93208 is Wrong.
1. All iChat AV traffic is UDP except for ports 5190 and 5298, which need to be open for both TCP and UDP; and 5220, 5222, and 16384-16403, which need to be open for TCP only.
You have not siad what ports you have opened and by what method in your modem ?

TS3367 FaceTime not working on my ipad. Also iPlayer on the ipad tells me insufficient bandwidth and so I presume it is the same problem. However, iPlayer is working well on my Apple laptop and desktop. Any suggestions.

From what I read, this issue is affecting mostly users with iOS 6 installed on their devices. If you are able, upgrade to iOS 7. My mom called me yesterday with the same issue, upgraded, then it worked fine for her.
If you are not able to upgrade, you'll probably have to wait for Apple to fix whatever is affecting iOS 6.

Insufficient bandwidth with certain buddies

Well... it's the same old problem. I get the insufficient bandwidth error. Only with one exception: I get the error with only 1 specific buddy. I can't seem to do audio/vid chat with Buddy A, but have no problems with Buddy B, and Buddy A and Buddy B can connect with one another.
I have tried all the regular fixes (ie. QT bandwidth, checked download speeds, no firewall etc) and even re-installed iChat the hard way.
Still can't connect to Buddy A though...

I have a similar problem but we are all using the most current, 10.4.5, MacOS load.
I have a 15" PowerMac G4 HD with an iSight conneted and am trying to video chat with a variety of other Macs... another 15" PowerMac G4 1.67, a 15" MacBook Pro, a 17" iMac Intel, and a 20" iMac G5. My Mac and my friend's Macs are all connected to the Internet via broadband connections... some cable modems, some DSL, and one on an AT&T T1. Sometimes it works and other times it does not... It is sporatic enough to call it unreliable. We all have enough horsepower and bandwidth but for some reason the chats fail to start and we are treated with "so-and-so failed to respond"
It is ancient history now but when we all had Panther, iChat 2 and G4s this never occured... we started having problems when we all upgraded to Tiger and started getting G5s and CoreDuos... Not a very scientific observation and I'm not sure of the relevence.

Insufficient bandwidth error help

Just in this last week I have been unable to video chat or audio chat because I keep getting the insufficient bandwidth message. Keep in mind that I had been doing both types of chats fine until this past week, even 4 way video was very clear. I have a 9Mbps connection and my friends have 100 Mbps fiber so bandwidth should not be an issue. Skype still works as normal though. Any ideas on what might be causing this? Is it possible that my ISP closed a port that iChat needs? In my firewall settings, I opened TCP 5060, 5190, 5297, 5298 and UDP 5060, 5190, 5297, 5298, 5678, 16384-16403. Is there anything else I can try to get the video or audio chat working again? Anyone else have similar problems recently?
BTW, we are all using wired connections, so airport is not an issue here.

Alan..I am having the same problem. We are running a single user on both ends (10.4.4) with a G4 iBook on one end and either a G3 iBook or a G4 iMac on the other. It seems to work OK between the G3 and the G4 iMac but neither of us can do more than text/audio chat with the G4 iBook.
I wonder if there was a setting that was changed when we upgraded to 10.4.4?

Insufficient Bandwidth driving me crazy!

I’ve read and followed the suggestions in all the discussions on insufficient bandwidth with iChat but I still can’t get it to work with certain people. I can chat with and see my friends in Chicago but not my family in the UK. We’re all using macs. Could someone please help me?
Mac OS X Version 10.4.11
iChat AV 3.1.9
I did a speed test: down load 1163 kbps, upload 1057 kbps
iChat bandwidth limited to 500 kbps
iChat server port set to 443
QuickTime streaming speed set at 1 Mbps cable
ISP: Current through an Asoko PlugLink Ethernet Wall Mount Model # PL9620-ETH
Do you need any other info that would help pinpoint my problem?
Thanks!
Andria

Hi Tony,
Thank you for all your help yesterday! By the end of the day I'd have my fill of trying to get iChat to work and tried another program to video conference (SightSpeed). It worked right away and now all my family can see each other, no problem.
Thanks again for all your help and time,
Andria

"insufficient bandwidth" error when seemingly all is OK

after months of flawless iChatAV sessions between me in Los Angeles and my brother in NYC, we recently started getting an error message that there is insufficient bandwidth to make the connection. Yet all tests (and even an in-house visit today from a Covad technician!) seem to indicate that we both have (and exceed) the bandwidth requirements per Apple's specs for maintining a 1-on-1 video chat. As far as I know no other settings have changed on either one of our respective systems or routers.
Oddly enough this started right after (if not actually during) Hurricane Katrina. We surmised - perhaps incorrectly - that this could be a result of increased loads in one area or ISPs systems due to damage in that area and/or bandwidth issues due to rerouted signals. (are we just nuts to even "go there?")
As always - any and all suggestions are grealy appreciated
kind regards

Hello Theo,
I am still on, but your location(s) may be effected some, I suppose.
Were you having this problem before the Security Update 2005-008?
Because you had iChat AV working previously, my best suggestions for troubleshooting be the applicable suggestions in:
]Help for iChat AV 3 Problems and
]the How Can I get iChat working again? FAQ

Request for Interpretation of insufficient bandwidth error

To iChat Discussions:
I have looked at many of the messages posted concerning the "insufficient bandwidth" error that I am receiving from iChat. I have implemented all suggestions and I am still having trouble.
I am using a capable Quad G5 with an iSight camera. I have all updates installed with Mac OS X 10.4.6. I am using iChat 3.1.4 (v432).
I always get the "insufficient bandwidth" error message when I initiate a video chat with the outside world. I can text with all buddies.
I see the three test sites (appleu3test01,appleu3test02,appleu3test03) with green video cameras (multiple),as well the other contacts on my Buddly List.
I am connected to a university wireless system. I can transfer files up and down at about 6 Mbps, so there is no bandwidth problem. The IT experts say there are no ports blocked and that all is well. I have the Mac OS X firewall turned off. I can video chat perfectly with buddies inside my building, but when I try to go outside, I get the "insufficient bandwidth" error message.
Following a thread on the iChat Discussions, I captured an error log for iChat. I was hoping someone in the Discussions could interpret the log results so I could diagnose the problem with connecting from to the outside world. I annotated the log with some information about when I did what, starting the line with a /. I used the command
/Applications/iChat.app/Contents/MacOS/iChat -errorLogLevel 7
from the command line in a Terminal session. The error log follows:
/ I started up iChat and everything came up normally

Hi Gary,
Welcome To The Apple Discussion Pages.
I see that you seem to have done the Quicktime setting
094151.005637 Bandwidth based on QT prefs = 21474836
094151.261284 BWD: GotBandwidth: 1618529/10814842 (up/down) @[35.13.21.96:255.255.252.0]
094151.261318 BWD bandwidth: 1618 kbits up, 10814 kbits down.
It is the IP listed here that worries me.
You say you are on a Wireless connection to the University's service but you are showing a Public IP (One I would expect to see as part of the info)
Has the Uni given you a direct outside line as it were ?
Are you saying you can use Bonjour but not the AIM side ?
Or do you mean that you can call out over the AIM side and get back to Buddies in your Building but not others ?
I am expecting you to tell us that the set up is like this:
Uni connection to the internet (Server or modem) <-> 1 or more routers <-> Wirless connection <-> Your computer
With a domsetic set up you would have a Public IP at the modem. This may or may not pass that IP to the next device. At this point there would be a LAN set of IPs issued to the subsequent devices and computers.
LAN IPs are in three groups of numbers
192.168.xxx.xxx
10.xxx.xxx.xxx
172.(16-32).xxx.xxx (basically a subset within 172.xxx.xxx.xxx)
The IP you show here is not one of those.
It is possible that the Uni has decided to use there own choice of IP numbers for their LAN.
However I would still expect to see two IP's showing up for you. One Public and the IP your computer has on the LAN.
Can you tells what IP you see in System Preferences > Network > Connection method in second drop down and then TCP/IP tab ?
I am expecting this to be a NAT problem.
More info on how the Uni are routing you to the outside would be helpful.

Insufficient Bandwidth continues ...

Does anyone still have this issue even with the latest version of Tiger and iChat? Some of my buddies I just can't connect with. This one in particular is based on 2 ADSL lines with 8Mb's downstream and 512kbps upstream so bandwidth really isn't an issue yet iChat continues to get in the way!
iChat has become a useless tool since Tiger, I'm so disappointed with Apple.
2005-08-17 14:21:48 +0100: There is insufficient bandwidth to maintain the conference.
Detected 0 kbps upstream and 0 kbps downstream bandwidth; 5 kbps required.

Hi Ralph,
Thanks for posting, i just needed to let off some steam. Of course I've tried everything and more, even the venerable 510v4 suffers these bandwidth problems never mind VOIP routers.
Another issue I have I think concerns Apple base stations, I have two Extreme and Express neither can handle iChat, the complaint is "insufficient bandwidth". This is separate to my problem when connected to Ethernet where only some of my contacts are unreachable yet they can connect with others.
I wish Apple would just remove this bandwidth detection altogether and let people get on with it, good or bad quality I really don't care but constantly messing about with iChat and it's related settings is really getting me down.
I suppose I could use Skype instead but I'm pure blooded Apple I want this thing to work and it's just tragic that Apple has messed things up like this. I know lot's of people who have given up on iChat, I'm still hanging in there but only just!
Ok, rant over.

Beating a dead horse but...Insufficient bandwidth error on Tiger 10.4.6

So I'm running a new Macbook pro i just took out of the box, my girlfriend is doing the same. It's come with the latest version of Tiger. Here's the thing: with iChat my girlfriend and i get the all-to-familiar Insufficient Bandwidth message when we try to connect. I can connect with another friend on a standard Macbook, and my girlfriend can connect with me on the PC at my work, but we cannot connect with each other.
We're both running off of Cable Modem router wifi and have bandwidth of at least 750 mbps. I've been through the support pages, opened port channels, adjusted quicktime streaming preferences, but to no avail. Any more ideas or any other tips to get this to work. Visual communication was the primary reason for the purchase of these computers, and we're frustrated to no end that it simply will not work after troubleshooting.

HI theBen,
Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
At the ned of the day this can come down to the way your individual modems do NAT when using Port Forwarding, Port Triggering or DMZ and just not talk to each other properly.
This is because there are about six different ways manufacturers use to achieve NAT.
UPnP can help avoid this problem.
See here for more info http://www.ralphjohnsuk.dsl.pipex.com/page15.html#CertainBuddy
The iChat error messages are not always clear as to the exact problem and as you guessed ports can also be part of the problem.

Insufficient bandwidth

I'm trying to set up an iChat video chat with my dad.
We both have an brandnew iMac with iSight build in.
Both have an ADSL with more then 250kps upload (should be enough for ichat videoconferencing, isn't it?)
And still we get the warning insufficient bandwidth.
The same warning comes with audiochat as well.
Text chat works.
We tried to chet with the firewalls turned off.
So my guess is that it is the modem, either on my side or on his.
Best guess is his side as he has a wireless adslmodem/router.
But how do we check this and most important! How do we turn the firewall from the modem off?
We only need the firewall on our macs turned on and configurated well.
Ralph. Is was hoping to test my side of the iChat by trying a chat with you, but is your account AIM our .Mac??

Ralph, thanks for the help so far.
My side seemed to be working just fine, considering the succesfull chat we had.
I'm now working on my dads side.
The firewall of the modem (Philips Wireless ADSL modem sna6500) is disabled.
For the macOSX firewall I've installed the same iChat exception as I have on my own iMac, and I've found those in another tread about insufficient bandwidth on this forum.
The test-chat with appleu3test01 works.
But a videochat with my iMac doesn't work. Not even with both firewalls turned off.
Any suggestions what to sort out next?
The settings for Quicktime are set to 256 kbps (the uploadspeed of the ADSL-connection).
The settings for video in the iChat preferences are set to 200 kbps (500 is over the 256 kbps upload).
I'm pretty much out of idea's.
Normally both connections are fast enough.
My dad has 256 kbps upload and 4 mbps download
I have 384 kbps upload and 3,3 mbps download
at least, that is what we are paying for. How can we check the real connectionspeed?

Insufficient bandwidth, or not responding

I'm trying to connect with my friend to talk, not use video. it's not working - every time it either says 'insufficient bandwidth' or 'they did not repsond' - but she is responding! help?

This is probably because of your provider. Even if you have dsl or any other sort of high speed internet, it will not necessarily work.
as an example, when I had SBC DSL, I would get that error from home. In the same city at a friends house, it would work. Would work other places. Basically, I read that it was some old protocol or something that not all the providers were compatible with. It was not a case of insufficient bandwidth as the error message would suggested because I checked with dslreports.com. I found that many SBC ichatav users had the same problem.
Try using this apple test account from different places if your machine is portable. If you have a camera you can of course both connect with video and audio otherwise just audio:

"Insufficient Bandwidth" QoS workaround?

Does anybody have a workaround for the "Insufficient Bandwidth" problem that has plagued iChat 3 users. I have troublshot everthing I can think of, and the only thing I can come up with is my ISP says they are in the process of "bettering" their QoS service. Is there a way to make iChat 3 work like iChat 2 by turning QoS off?
HELP!!!

Hi,
It may be how this commbo is set up
airport card/ netgear router/motorola cable modem
IF the Netgear is using DHCP to give out addresses then the modem needs to be set to pass through the Public IP address or be Static to the router. This will get around any Double DHCP problems.
The next thing to consider is if the modem is Static it will need the ports to be opened. In this case the Modem and the router should not be using Port Forwarding or NAT to open the ports as iChat does not like Double NAT situations.
Port Triggering or UPnP to open the ports will allow multiple computers to access the net using the same ports if required.

Insufficient bandwidth - now solved - phew

I have just 'upgraded' to bt infinity. On trying to play bbc iplayer on an I pad I get an insufficient bandwidth message. How can this be the case, and what can be done to rectify the problem? I have also noticed extremely slow downloading speeds and connection keeps ripping out. Is this all part of the bt infinity experience or am I a one off ? I look forward to any comments
Solved!
Go to Solution.

FTTC is fibre to the cabinet - it's the technology used to provide BT Infinity.
Line training is not true, basically it'll work from day 1 if there's no faults.
Regarding your issue, it's probably a wireless problem. How far are you from the hub? Can you download the speedtest.net app and run a speedtest and see what you get? Once you've done that can you run a speedtest on a computer connected to the home hub with an Ethernet cable to see if there's any discrepancies in the results?

Insufficient Bandwidth Error

I'm trying to connect to a friend that has dial-up and no camera (I'm doing one-way video chat). I have the right settings and have done everything everyone/every help tutorial has told me to do and I still keep getting the insufficient bandwidth error. Is it my computer or can I just not connect because of her crappy internets?

If you try to connect to another user that doesn't meet the minimum bandwidth requriements (which dial-up does not meet), you will receive the "Insufficent Bandwidth" message.
If you are on broadband, and meet the minimum requirements, you can try testing your set-up with one of the testers listed here: http://www.ralphjohnsuk.dsl.pipex.com/ContactTesters.html

Insufficient Bandwidth STILL a Problem
