Isight works...just not with AIM

My isight (MBP) works, just not with AIM. This problem just recently started happening. I do not even see the Camera icon on my buddy list.
When I restart in safe mode, I know longer have the problem. But when I start my comp up with a regular boot the problem reappears.
Any help would be greatly appreciated

iChat works better in both iChat 3 (Tiger) and iChat 4 (Leopard) if the System Preferences > Quicktime > Streaming Settings are set to 1.5Mbps and Not Automatic.
In Tiger iChat 3 reads the Automatic Setting as a Zero.
In Leopard this setting is now read as only 384k which will allow you to Video chat and is also the lowest Spec setting Apple states a 3 and 4 way chat can happen but will cap what Bandwidth/Connection speed you have.
If we are talking form iChat TO AIM (6.5 or above) then you should read this doc by AIM on their Real Time Protocol (read th paragraph under the pics.)

Can't use my HP Deskjet F4580 Wireless Printer with the AirPort Extreme Base. The printer is NOT connected at the USB port of the AirPort Extreme, and is placed in another room. It worked just fine with my previous router (Linksys WRT54G). Help me!

Hey Guys!
I just got my AirPort Extreme Base, but I can't use my HP Deskjet F4580 wireless printer with it.
The printer is not connected to the AirPort Extreme's USB port. It is placed in another room, and I'd like to use it (the printer) wirelessly (not connected to the USB port os the AirPort Extreme), as I used to. There is no place for the printer close the AirPort Extreme. It worked just fine with my previous wireless router (Linksys WRT54G). I'm very disappointed with the AirPort Extreme Base Station because of that!...
Can you help me? Please?!
Thanks Folks!

This must be a tough one, no suggestions at all.

Mini DisplayPort to VGA isn't working. It won't recognize any external monitor. It worked just fine with my older spring 2011 MacBook Pro running Snow Leopard, but now with my brand new 2012 MacBook Pro running Mountain Lion, it no longer works

I just bought a new MacBook Pro this summer and was all excited. But I'm very frustrated right now because I can't connect to any external monitors through VGA. My thunderbolt (DisplayPort Mini) to HDMI works just fine, but when I try with my other connector to go from Thunderbolt (DisplayPort Mini) to VGA, Nothing works. my screen goes blue and changes size like it recognized something but nothing is ever detected on the external moniter or projector. I'm not sure what is wrong but it's very frustrating. I'm just very depressed that it worked just fine with my 2-year-old MacBook Pro but isn't working now. I'm running OS X 10.8.2. I just upgraded yesterday from 10.8.1 but that upgrade did nothing to fix my problem. Can anyone help? Thanks

I am haveing this exact same issue. I have plugging in 3 monitors and tried two different VGA to mini displayport and nothing is working. I recently bought a Acer monitor and it work for an hour and now it back to doing the same thing.
When I plug the VGA adapter in to the monitor the monitor think its not connected to a computer then when disconnecting the VGA adapter the monitor thinks it is connected to a computer.
NEED SOME HELP!!! at the point of all my hair is pulled out.
^^^
that is the same problem i am having! if anyone can help that would be great i'm losing my mind over here

I can't print. When I go to file-print, nothing happens. My printer is working just fine with IE and everything else.

Try the Firefox SafeMode. 
''A troubleshooting mode, which disables most Add-ons.'' 
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default Theme.)''
# You can open the Firefox 4/5/6/7 SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
# Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. 
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shft key) to open it again.''
If it is good in the Firefox SafeMode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one.

I have a iPhone 4S and a Cannon Printer with AirPrint. I have the printer and the iPhone both on the same network, however I still can't locate the printer on the phone. Works just fine with the laptop on the same network. Any suggestions?

I have a iPhone 4S and a Cannon Printer with AirPrint. I have the printer and the iPhone both on the same network, however I still can't locate the printer on the phone. Works just fine with the laptop on the same network. Any suggestions?

ok no problem! all i did was 1) set up the mobile hotspot on my phone. 2) turn it and wifi on on the phone. 3) connect the laptop/desktop to the hotspot network. 4) insert setup disk for the printer and begin setup. 5) complete the setup "using a usb cord to temporarilly connect the computer and printer" 6) unplug usb cable and finish set up on the laptop/desktop. 7) give it a few minutes to show up on the AirPrint menu on the phone. 8) that should be it. I unplugged the printer and plugged it back in, made sure the laptop was totally turned off AND disconnected from the network, and did everything I could to try and make it not work. The printer I have is a Canon MG3122, it doesn't have a fancy screen or even a way to input a password or anything like that, so it just strores a default network that it will connect to. in order to change networks i would have to complete setup multiple times. Since I only plan to use it with AirPrint for my mobile business....the one network is just fine! Hope this helps!

My iPad cannot connect to my internet. the internet is working but not with my ipad.

Call your ISP (Internet Service Provider) and explain them your issue, it could range from having your router configured incorrectly to having a wiring issue. Personally, I have Comcast and they are great, no issues, and awesome customer service.
Hope you get up and running ASAP

Showing My iSight To a PC With AIM

Hi all,
I just got my iSight today, I'm trying to let another user view my webcam by sending a one way video invitiation, but every time I send it (it doesn't matter which user I send it to, I get the same response every single time regardless of who I am trying to chat with) the iSight immediately says that the user cancelled the request. It happens way too fast for them to have actually done it, and they all say they didn't even see a dialogue box prompting them to accept my invitation. I'm in desperate need to get the iSight working this evening so any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much.
~ES

... help me with that specific error message ...As a user like you, I have no better understanding of the true meaning of the user cancelled the request... error message than you do, but I think iChat AV 3 sometimes applies it spuriously. However, which error message you are getting seems less important to me, than the fact that you cannot connect.
Reading through the articles may be different than trying the suggestions. If I understand your initial question properly, your problem sounds very strange.
Do you really have problems with EVERY one-way video, whether to a Mac or to a PC? Have you really tested with several others?
Can you text chat with anyone? Audio with anyone? Video with anyone? Ever?
Have you recently performed your regular Mac OS X maintenance?
Have you followed the suggestions already made to run wired directly from your Modem to your Mac with no other connected devices until you make this work? (Using iSight with iChat AV)
Does the PC have adequate broadband speed and a working, "tuned," microphone? Have you tried the suggestions already made to add a PC webcam to the PC side to see if video will work then? (Mac Video Chat with PCs)

Why can't I print a web page on my HP 1600 with FF4 but is works just fine with FF3?

For example a web page that shows a recipe. It won't print. I select print and nothing. Works just fine on Firefox 3

{Ctrl + P} or File > Print will bring up the "native print dialog" box.
Is your printer selected in the '''Printer - Name''' box at the top? Is '''Print to File''' selected in the mid-point on the right-side of that dialog? (should not be check-marked)

I'm unable to get my macbook pro to work with an Optoma tx542 projector. I've got a VGA adaptor, and the projector works with my old iMac, just not with the new macbook. Any ideas?

The projector recognizes it's a mac, since I see the mac desktop background on my screen when I connect, but I'm not seeing my desktop. Any ideas?
Thanks!

ugh...i'll be sure to let you know...i'm beginning to regret buyin a mac now...one usually spends the bucks most of have dropped for a premium machine, to actually work. I don't expect every aspect to be perfect, but simple things such as functionality of applications developed for and by the same company making the machines should work...maybe its just because i'm more than a little peeved that i'm going through such trouble to do something as simple as put two pictures next to each other and upload the site (as it appears in iweb) on to the mobileme...
I finally got it to upload, thanks Old Toad, and i got the pictures to upload...now they just don't appear next to each other as they do in iweb...i guess the good thing is that they are no longer covering text...
now i'm presented with a second problem...i add a second entry to my blog and when i click on that directly i'm taken to a page saying it is not found...but when i go to the first entry and click next it takes me to the second entry page...although that page is ALMOST correct (the links do not have the same styling i applied to them in iweb)...
and now i'm presented with a third problem...after adding the second entry i noticed on the blog listing page that my photo from the first entry did not move with it (another photo covering text problem)...so i tried using the graphic placeholder, but the image still does not show up on the main page...

I just installed a new hp 8500 office jet. i can print from adobe, explorer, one note but not from a mozilla page.does anyone know how to fix this ? my 8500 worked just fine with mozilla

My printer is an HP 8600 OFFICE JET. I cannot print anything when using mozilla. when i'm using explorer and i go to yahoo or yahoo finance or any other website print my stock portfolios, email, etc. but i can't do that when i'm in mozilla.
I didn't have that problem with my HP OFFICE JET 8500.
HP support hasn't been able to resolve the issue.

Does that printer appear in the "Printer -> Name" drop-down and can you select it?
See the screenshot below ...

I can't print from firefox. The paper feeds throught the printer but does not print. The same web pages will print when I use internet explorer. And the printer works fine with word, excell etc, just not with firefox.

Whenever I try to print any page opened in firefox it will not print. The paper feeds through the computer, but does not pring.

External hard drive works, but not with a docking station

hello,
I'm finding it difficult to use my docking station with my WD Cavier Green 2TB hard drive.
I know that the hard drive is in perfect working order as it still works with my many different leads and cables i have. But when i plug it in to my docking station i get the "unable to read' message.
I've checked disk ultility and the hard drive is there but the second name down reads disk1s1 and is greyed out.
I've read through the countless discussions and opend the ownership (when i plug it in with my many cables) but when i use the dock it claims there's no ownership.
I've tried verifying and repairing but an error message appears.
I've tried turning off the hard drive and docking station and turning it back on.
I've tried restarting my comuter.
And i've tried using a different cable.
it just seems odd that a docking station could stop my hard drive being recognised yet plugging it with many cables is fine.
Is it simply a case of my hard drive not being fully compatible with the docking station? or am i missing something?
Below is all my specs.
MacBook Pro
Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5
Hard drive
Western digital Caviar Green
WD20EARS 2TB
docking station
Akasa DuoDock S
USB 3.0
model number: AK-IC08U3-BK

Hello, I am having a similiar problem. I had an old MacBook that died so I took out the partitioned HDD and put it in an enclosure. The other day I plugged it into my other MacBook and both HDDs appeared (Mac and Bootcamp) but today only Bootcamp will appear. When I run the commands recommended above, I get this:
It appears as if there are two traditional hard drives? The first and second line? I'm not very Mac savvy so I don't know how to use the chflagg command to make these visible. Ultimately, I want to complete wipe this entire HDD (partition included) so I can have it fresh. Can anyone advise on how to make the Mac partition visible or how to complete wipe it and start fresh?
Thanks!

ISight Working but only with Photo Booth

My built-in iSight is not working with several apps including Skype and iChat. iChat gives message being used by different application. the camera does work with Photo Booth. This is a new problem that has developed since upgrading from 10.5 to 10.5.1. I have tried several steps (PMU reset, deleting Photo Booth preferences, etc) but no joy.
Would appreciate any other thoughts.... There do seem to be a rash of similar issues under discussion at the moment but I can't seem to find a solution that works for me.

Hello Sanpper F
(0) Shut down everything and restart your modem, router (if you use one), and Mac. Let each device's self-test complete before starting the next. When all have restarted, check to see if you still have the problem.
(1) Try all relevant from http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93240 and test again.
(2) Try reapplying the Mac OS X 10.5.1 Update. Repair permissions after the restart at the completion of the installer run. Then check to see if your trouble is fixed.
(3) If none of the suggestions you get here solves your problem, when you post back please:
(a) list every app you tried iSight with that does not work.
(b) tell whether the problem behaved EXACTLY the same in a new user account
(c) verify that your QuickTime Streaming Speed preference is set to your broadband speed (not "Automatic")
(d) list anything else that changed (network or Firewall settings, added hardware or software, etc.) since the problem apps worked correctlly
If needed, we will try to offer more specific suggestions based on the details in your reply.
