Isight says i'm not responding

sorry if this topic has allready been posted, but my probs with isight just keep getting worse!!
my boyfriend and i both have ibook G4's and when we bought our isights i was running panther and he had tiger. at this stage when tried to chat i was told he wasn't responding when he did, and he was told this too.
now i have upgraded to tiger and now the isight says that i too am not responding, as well as him!
please help! these need to start working! we got them so we talk with him at uni and he's half way through his first year allready!!!

We will help you get things working.
Both of you should test with more than one other user to determine which end of the connection is causing your symptoms. If you do not have enough available buddies for testing, you can find more Buddy Names for iChat Test here.
The iChat AV 3 user(s?) who has trouble with most users should try the relevant suggestions in Help for iChat AV 3 Problems.
If either of you is using a shared connection, as people in uni may do, be sure to Check your Broadband Speed.
Also, I saw your post about iPod. Consider Possible hardware or software conflicts and How I Update My Mac OS X. particularly if you are still using a version of Panther.

My iTunes keeps saying "application is not responding". what do i do?

my iTunes keeps saying "application is not responding". what do i do?

Hello khairanihariri,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities. if iTunes has become unresponsive, it is good to wait it out to see if it becomes responsive again. If it does not, then the next steps would be to preform a Force Quit on iTunes. The following article will assist with that process.
Mac OS X: How to quit an unresponsive application using Force Quit
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3411
To force quit an application, choose Force Quit from the Apple menu (or press Command-Option-Esc), then choose the unresponsive application in the Force Quit window, and click Force Quit.
Optionally, you may be able to Option-right click the application's icon in the Dock and choose Force Quit from the contextual menu.
Additionally, you can force quit the front-most application in Mac OS X v10.5 or later by pressing Command-Option-Shift-Esc for three seconds.
Regards,

Why does ichat video not connect? The error message says we did not respond.

Why does ichat video not connect? The error message says we did not respond.

Hi,
iChat uses several port as they are called over the internet to do different things
Text Chats and Video Chats are on different Ports.
You probably don't have the port open.
Use UPnP in your router if it has it.

Problem: When I start an ichat with a friend, she accepts and soon after, ichat says the user did not respond, even though she did. We are both out of North America at the moment - could this be the problem?

Hi OllyOop,
Welcome to the Apple Discussions
Can you give some more details on how you are set in your Modem and such please.
Error 8 refers to port or NAT problems rather than where you are.

Won't go to selected websites, says "Internet Explores not responding"

At different times of the day, almost always early in the morning when I try to get to my home page or to my e-mail account it will say "(Internet Expolorer is not responding.)" My computer is pretty slow quite often. It's about 7 years old and I run Vista.

Minnwa,
Welcome to the HP Forum!
Preparation!
Before you make any changes to your computer, make sure you have all your backups current AND a means to recover the system should it be necessary.
HP and Compaq Desktop PCs -- Backing Up Your Files (Windows Vista)
Desktop Computers: Performing an HP System Recovery (Windows Vista)
Restore Points - "going back in time"
Even if you have current backups, you should have a Restore Point ready in case you need to take the computer back to a particluar date / time:
Desktop Computers – Using Microsoft Restore – Vista
When you create a Restore Point manually, be sure to first close all extra programs (email, Facebook, games, all browsers).
==========================================================================================
To Help with Slowness and IE not responding...
Assuming the hardware is still chunking along OK, your system may need some good maintenance:
HP and Compaq Desktop PCs - Increasing System Performance Without Adding Memory (Windows Vista)
Restart the Home Network Router
After you complete the maintenance procedures that can be done on your computer, you might consider:
Shut down the computer
Restart your Router -- not a Reset, just switch off the router, wait a few seconds and then switch it back on.
Boot the computer and log in
System Protection
Make sure you have some kick-strong Anti-Virus software running and complete a full scan to make sure there are not any virus bits or malware on the computer. If you need a good, free Anti-Virus software that plays well with others and does a good job, you might take a look at: Avast Anti-Virus . Select the free version unless you want or need the extra security provided by Avast Internet Security (purchased version).
===========================================================================================
Good Luck!
Click the Kudos Star!
It is a great “Thank You” for the HP Experts who are here to help!

Firefox repeatedly each day shuts down my 3 computers*1_Vista; 2_Windows 7) and refuses to wor saying it is not responding or just totally shutting down(I am required to reboot and hope it works, which it rarely does.).

At least 4 or 5 times a day this happens--Usually it says "not Responding" and it truly does not. I don't have this with other sucn as Explorer but generally have preferred Firefox for its simplicity. I am about ready to change as the hassle is just not worth it.

I wish it were that but a long time ago when I had a problem with the gadgets with iGoogle back 6 months ago thereabouts I was asked to disable it then and I did and I just went to re-check and it is still not enabled, however, it will not let me un-install it though.. It only gives me an option to enable or disable.. Any advice ? So I'm wondering if it is something else still or is there a problem with the avast still ?
thanks again for your help. Mind you that this all started when blogger went down ..
take care

I cannot delete email --it says T-bird not responding

From time to time, I go through periods of time when I cannot delete my email ... it says on top "Thunderbird program not responding" & then goes blank ... either I can leave T-bird or wait for program to respond which takes a couple of minutes ...
I need help to know why it is doing this.
Thank you!

The most likely cause is an anti virus program misbehaving. That includes windows defender which is not always well behaved.
There is discussion on some of he issues here https://wiki.mozilla.org/Thunderbird:Testing:Antivirus_Related_Performance_Issues

Open email & top of bar says fire fox not responding & get script error on page asking to stop script or continue. Loading most mail or sites is slow now that I returned from Japan and using same laptop. Any ideas?

my laptop stops responding when I open email right in the middle of writing email or checking email and when I open bookmarks. Up the top it says firefox not responding and a script error block opens asking me to continue or stop script. It give me this same error all the time no matter if I select continue or stop script.

As far as email sites go. The "Adblock Plus" extension with at least the "EasyList US" filter subscription would probably help. I does block a lot of unnecessary Script files whose sole purpose is to provide advertising. You can of course add additional filter subscriptions or filters of your own.
There are many extensions that can cause such problems, and you may have to go through your extensions.
One thing you might do is eliminate Problematic Extensions that you are not using, but mainly check to see how the create problems and you may have to make a choice between extensions. The Unresponsive Script Warning page lists some extensions with problems (thought it listed more) and describes how to check through your extensions to help find which extension is the problem Sometimes the message will tell you.
* '''Problematic extensions''' - MozillaZine Knowledge Base http://kb.mozillazine.org/Problematic_extensions
* '''Unresponsive Script Warning''' - MozillaZine Knowledge Base http://kb.mozillazine.org/Unresponsive_Script_Warning
* Firefox hangs - MozillaZine Knowledge Base http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firefox_hangs
Here are some extensions I had a problem with, and don't use them any more
: http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/infolister_listing_fx4.htm#scriptbusy
* Line Marker, Firefox 1.0 - 1.5.0.* ALL (2.0.2006072201)
* Quick Sum (0.1), presumably good for Firefox 2.0
* Translate (0.6.0.9), Firefox 0.9 - 1.5.0.* ALL
* gTranslate (0.3.1) [30KB], Firefox 1.0 - 2.0.0.* ALL
 Please mark "Solved" one answer that will best help others with a similar problem -- hope this was it, but take your time and try to make sure you pick the answer that helped you, and tell us which extension or script you found to be the problem.
