Jabber A/V works, sometimes, on some machines..

Hi,
Before I head on over to the server side of the forums, maybe someone can help as I'm sure the server side is doing its job.
Its a very simple setup. OX Tiger 10.4 Server running the ichat jabber service. All clients authenticated and logged in through OD. Server and clients go through a single unmanaged 10/100 switch and the latest apple airpot extreme with latest firmware.
I took all client machines offline except for 3 for this test.
LaptopA (leopard + ichat 4)
LaptopB (leopard + ichat 4)
Desktop (leopard + ichat 4).
NAT/Firewall are wide open. All 3 clients can text message just fine. LaptopA & Desktop can A/V conference. LaptopB & Desktop can A/V conference. LaptopA & LaptopB can't. When I send an invite from laptop A to B, laptopB gets the invitation then gives me a communications error when I accept. When I send and invitation from B to A however, no invitation comes up on the A side..
I've been at this for about a week, I have a total of maybe 15 clients. Some go through the airport station, some have double NICs that go through airport and also have a fully qualified static IP. I've tried this from outside the network (from home to work) it's again a hit and miss. Which leads me to believe its a per client machine error?
On one desktop at work with a static external IP, I could only make it A/V conference with the outside world when I created and logged into a new machine user with a fresh home directory and all. I thought I had something there until I could not replicate the success on other machines by only creating a new machine user. I could not even replicate the result from another desktop to the same desktop that just work a couple minutes earlier.
Any ideas? I'm all out.
Thanks,
Paul

Hi,
There are several terms in your thread that suggest that you are over my head as well.
I really feel you would be better served (pun intended) in iChat Server's Forum

Flash file works sometimes, but not others

Here is the page with what I am trying to do. It is volunteer
work for a non-profit, and I am not an uber flash programmer, but I
have come this far, and would appreciate any helps diagnosing the
possible causes for this. Please view this link to see what I am
talking about. Clicking on the thumbnails opens a separate window
with a photo gallery.
http://www.coafkids.org/dev/photovideo/
On my computer, this works fine, both on the authoring end
and the server end. On some others, reportedly, they can view some
of the gallery slideshows, but not others. The reports have been
random, so there is no consistency with which shows work and which
do not.
The flash file is the same exact file for each of the
galleries. Each gallery has its own folder on the server. In this
folder, there is a flash file(same exact file in all galleries) an
XML file specific to that gallery, and an images folder. The XML
file gives the flash file the location and respective caption for
each image that is located in the images folder. With all the flash
files named exactly the same in each folder, with exactly the same
code, how does it not work on only some machines??
Any light, anything at this point would be extremely
helpful..
Thank you in advance,
Armo

The people that report problems are only reporting them for
one, two, or sometimes just three out of the 9 galleries.
Therefore, since it is exactly the same flash file used in all 9,
why would some choose not to work. And even worse, why are the ones
that do not work varied across each person?
Thank you for your response.... hope we can all solve this
mystery together...

DaRT with Windows 8.1 not working on some machines

Problem: x64 bit DaRT8/801/8.1 not recognizing the OS and utlities are greyed out/unavailable on some machines.
System: Windows 8.1 x64
Steps taken:
Tried different DaRT toolset versions, set BIOS SATA operation to different modes, tried both UEFI and Legacy mode secure boot mode off/on, created the DaRT image with Windows 8 installation media and Windows 8.1, tested the DaRT boot iso on Virtual Machines
and it worked, all the utilities available.
Eventually gave up and booted into MiniXP from Hirens boot CD and reset the local account password with NTpass tool.
Why would DaRT work on some machines and not on others?

How was the SATA configured originally? If it was configured for RAID/AHCI and the DaRT disk does not have the RAID/AHCI driver the operating system may not be detectable, even if the mode is changed in the firmware.

Tab key dosent work on some machines

Hi,
We have a swing application in which we use tab key to navigate input fields. The problem is that on some machines the tab key does not do anything where on some it works perfectly.
Could it be a JRE version or any other issue? (OS is Windows 2000 on all machines)
Any input will be much appreciated.
Thanks,

What version are you using? 1.4 or 1.3.1

I use Time Machine with an external hard disc which has worked perfectly for some years. Recently Time Machine has aborted backups if the screen saver starts when back-up is in progress. I use a Maxtor OneTouch4 back-up system. Any ideas?

I use Time Machine with an external hard disc which has worked perfectly for some years. Recently Time Machine has aborted backups if the screen saver starts when back-up is in progress. I use a Maxtor OneTouch4 back-up system. Any ideas?
Has Apple recently up-dated my OS (Lion) such that every time the screen saver starts it disables Time Machine. I have to switch-off the computer and re-start in order to undertake a back-up. I have now switched of all screen savers.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of this exercise is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode.)

XMLDocument.Validate works on some machines but not on others

Hi All
I have a problem which I cannot Solve , I have a routine that Validates a node in a document against a XSD file using the XmlDocument.Validate method. This works fine on several machines but on a different network using the Same Document and schema files validate fails with a validation exception element not found . I cannot figure out why the exact same files and application should be successful on one machine and unsuccessfull on another. I have used Filemon to see if their are ACCESS DENIED problems but there are none.
I have reinstalled the framework 2.0, to no avail
Regards

I am trying to Get the Details on to an HTTP server no luck yet, and this fourm says that the files are to large to upload. , I have noticed the FILEMON says that the MSCORLIB.PDB file was not found in two locations WINNT and WINNT\dll would this have somthing to do with the problem. I have given the XML and Schema files to others to view but they confirm that there is nothing wrong with the file or the schema.

Keyboard shortcut Command-~ DOES NOT WORK in/on some apps/machines

It seems that in Mac OS 10.6.2 the keyboard shortcut "Command-~" ( a.k.a.
"⌘-~" or "Command-tilde") is quite fickle. It is used in most apps to
switch between open windows within an application. It was available in OS
10.5 in Safari, Microsoft Office (including Entourage), and most other apps
with the capacity to open multiple windows simultaneously. But in OS 10.6.2
this shortcut is available in Safari on my 2.16 GHz Core2Duo 20" iMac but
NOT on my 2.4 GHz Core2Duo Unibody 13" MacBook; it's available in Entourage
on my MacBook but NOT on my iMac. So it's available on some apps and some
machines but not on others, there's no rhyme or reason to it, and it's not
consistent between like machines and apps, which makes me think that there's
a system-wide preference or command that could turn this on and off. I
thought perhaps it was controlled by a preference in certain apps, but I
have found no such prefs. Is there a way to control this - in other words,
to make it available where it currently is not? Or is there a command to
make it universally available on any 10.6 machine (my preferred solution)?
Thanks for any help offered.

Not a reply to this specific question, just a quasi-relevant comment that might help some folks.
In Leopard, and with (for example) English and Russian chosen in System Prefs under "Language" and the keyboard shortcut set to command+space, I would always see the flag change in the menu bar as soon as command+space were chosen. Now, under Snow Leopard, hitting command+space seems not to make the change. But it does make the change, you just need to take your fingers off the keys first, then the flag will change.

"access restrictions" did not work sometimes when using 3-tier DeskI.

My customer found that "access restrictions" did not work sometimes when using 3-tier DeskI.
But this issue can be solved by logging on from another machine, or restarting the DeskI.
For I can reproduce this issue, so I just want to know that:
1.What is it probably related to?
2.If this issue happens again, what can I suggest my customer for tracking it?
For example, get some log files from servers etc.
Thanks!

Hi Sarah,
Also you can try the following solution.
1. Import the universe.
2. Go to manage access restrictions
3. Remove the restriction .
4. Again create the rescrition and unchecked the " limit size of result set to"
5. Now assign it to the unlimited results group ( this is the name of
the group we have given to those users who should be able to retrieve
more than X rows)
6. Now we save the universe. (Dont export the universe).
I hope this will help you.

Why can only some machines see netboot images at the startup screen?

I have a 10.6.6 server running as a netboot server. I have about 10 images running on the server that consist of a 10.6.6 and 10.5.8 triage partition and a 10.6.6 and 10.5.8 restore image. Now what I have noticed is that newer machines after starting up and holding down the option key will see all the available images.But on some older intel machines nothing will show up after holding the option key down accept the internal drive itself, But if you hold down the N key it WILL boot to the default image.
I have made sure and checked that the ethernet port was working on the older machines. I also made sure that I can see the images from the startup control panel. All machines can see the netboot images from the startup control panel, but older intel versions cant. However I was able to sometimes get the old white and black macbooks to see the images but others not.
Any suggestions as to why some machines will see the images at the startup screen after holding the option key and why some wont?

That, most likely, means that you have a fairly large number of images and/or they have very long names.
The number of images that can be displayed is limited by the size of the data packet which contains the NetBoot volume information. Two techniques we use to keep this in check are 1) aggressive purging of outdated images, and 2) use of shorter display names (the one seen in Startup Disk, not the one in the NetBootSP0 folder).

JFileChooser (again!) slow in JRE 1.6.14 on some machines, not others

I am running ImageJ (from the NIH) on several of our machines and on some machines JFileChooser is lightning fast, while others exhibit the same slowness spoken of in another JFileChooser thread that is now in a locked state. We open large image files (tif, png) located on our SAN and from the network traffic I see in Windows Task Manager while opening a folder containing the images I would guess that JFileChooser is actually opening the files (intentionally or not), not just obtaining a folder listing. It's similar to the same issue of opening a large folder of images with the view set to thumbnails - it takes about the same amount of time. I have tried the suggestions in that thread to no avail - the environment the machines are running is:
Windows XP SP3
Java JRE 1.6.0_14
Can anyone comment on what JFileChooser is doing and how I can get it to stop this? Is it a Windows environment setting so that the native API calls made by JFileChooser will behave differently? Thoughts?
Thanks,
Tom

I can't be absolutely sure, but we have several seemingly identical machines used for the purpose of reading medical images and several of them appear to work correctly (very fast loading and population of the folder's contents) and others don't. I have been using eclipse to enhance the software tool we're using (ImageJ) and using the debugger I can see that when the JFileChooser object is being instantiated and populated with entries a tremendous amount of network traffic occurs. This network traffic is equivalent to the amount I see when the same folder is opened in My Computer using a thumbnails view of the folder contents. Apparently, the network is delivering approximately 300-400 MB of images. As far as configuration of the Windows machines is concerned I haven't found a significant difference yet, though I admit I am not a Windows desktop admin and may not know of some configuration item that could be responsible. I assume (though could be mistaken) that both My Computer and JFileChooser are ultimately using similar API calls to get the folder content entries?

Exported pdfs - Linked file not dispalying correctly on some machines

Hi,
I'm creating several PDFs in InDesign CS5.5. I'm creating links to different files in InDesign using buttons. The pdf links work correctly on all machines and open the file theyre supposed to. I run into a problem on some machines though. The first page of the newly opened pdf opens completely gray... nothing displayed. If you hit page down and then page up, page two displays fine, and page one then appears fine from that point on. On some machines it's a little slow to display, and goes from gray to displaying the page in about one second.
Does anyone know why this would be happening, and how to fix it?
They are created on a mac, and the problem is present on some macs, but not others, and seems fine on PC. It's also worth pointing out that it isn't the speed/power of the machine, because the older less powerful machines have no problems with it.

How are these files being viewed?

My safari doesn't work sometimes, but I connect with the internet.

Before you try to configure the settings on your Router, first thing which you need to do is, Press and hold the reset button for 60 seconds...Release the reset button...Unplug the power cable from your router, wait for 60 seconds and re-connect the power cable...
Connect the Modem to the Linksys Router on the Internet Port and then connect your computer to the Linksys router on the LAN Port 1. On your Computer click on Start - Run - CMD and click Ok... Now in the Command Prompt window type "ipconfig" and hit enter and note down the "IP address, Subnet Mask and Default Gateway" , Now again in the Command Prompt window type "ping default gateway IP" and hit enter and check if you are getting any replies, If yes then you can login to the setup page of the configure all the settings on it from scratch.

Ichat 4.0 Sometimes works, sometimes doesn't

Hello,
I have asked many firewall questions on this forum before. At this stage, what seems to work are the appletest servers, both video and voice. But...I have many friends that have accounts that sometimes work, sometimes don't. With no changes whatsoever to the firewall or computers. These users that I try to contact run the gamut from aim on windows, to ichat on tiger, to ichat on leopard. And again, sometimes will work, sometimes not.
I found an article on the web that states that multiple computers on your home network with the same user id's could cause this issue....Is that true? I have a 5 mac household, and the user id's are all the same. Now I'm only logged into ichat as me on my computer, so I'm not sure how that could happen.
I have read the docs about ports to open, and I have opened them all, and then some, because I have found that sometimes ichat demands a port to be open that has nothing to do with those listed.
Any clues?

I have comcast as a service provider. They provide the modem. I have my own computer based router, running freebsd. I have full control over the firewall. I am running NAT inside the firewall. I have seen this behavior with both the firewall disabled, and with the ports I have opened. What is crazy is that while watching the security logs, when I test an account that doesn't work, I'll get a UDP deny on some arbitrary port that isn't supposed to be used by ichat.

On 2011 iMac, External Altec Lansing speakers no longer work after upgrading to Mountain Lion. They DO work on a lenovo machine but not my imac

On 2011 iMac, External Altec Lansing speakers no longer work after upgrading to Mountain Lion.
They DO work on a lenovo machine but not my iMac. reset Pram - no luck. took speakers from wife's desktop, they
do not work when jack plugged into my iMac - Sys Prefs "SOUND" only lists "internal speakers/ built in" as available options.
I used my altec lansing speakers on 3 macs including this one for 5-6 years.....now with Mountian Lion I can only get internal speakers???
Ideas? Any/All help would be greatly appreciated - been going nuts with this for 2 days now.

Hi,
When you start Messages fro the first time you are asked for an Apple ID
When this is verified and entered it appears in Messages Menu > Preference > Accounts and is Enabled.
The App should have also picked on on those iChat Accounst you had before.
These should be Enabled if they were when you last used iChat.
Exactly which "Accounts" are logged in can be seen in Message Menu > Accounts and will include the iMessage "Account" and Bonjour.
In the Window menu you will see CMD +0 for the Messages window and CMD+1 for the "Buddies" window which is a combined list at this stage.
Go to the Preferences > General Section and Untick the "Collect all accounts into one list".
This will give you separate iChat type Buddy lists.
You can check if that account/Buddy list is set to Invisible or if in the Preferences > Accounts > Security you have settings that will block some people from seeing you as On line.
You are saying Buddies can see you as On Line which implies they are still sending to your AIM based Names (@Mac.com is a valid AIM Screen Name)
I am not sure from your post if you are trying to iMessage their email IDs thinking they are Apple IDs and that they are using Messages as well.
There is no Buddy list for iMessages side
No-one can tell you are "On Line" until they have your details in the "To" spot in Messages with the correct iMessaged contact info (iPhone Number or Apple ID)
Obviously an Apple ID can be an email or look like one.
In some cases they are also valid AIM Screen Names as well.
In the case or the @mac.com name you may have linked this Apple ID to iMessages as well.

[Bug] Blank page on some machines after upgrade to 4.2.2

Hi all,
I'm getting a totally blank page when opening the standard page http://server:port/apex on some machines.
It looks like a redirect is missing on machines that show empty page.
Setup:
Oracle GlassFish Server Open Source Edition 3.1.2.2
APEX Listener 2.0.0
APEX 4.2.2
Using Chrome to debug what's going on I have following results:
Working machine:
Step | Path | Method | Status
1. | apex | GET | 301 Moved Permanently
2. | apex/ | GET | 302 Moved Temporarily
3. | apex/f?p=4550:1:8468626825484 | GET | 200 OK
Non-Working Machine:
Step | Path | Method | Status
1. | apex | GET | 301 Moved Permanently
2. | apex/ | GET | 200 OK
Even the Content-Length of the response is 0.
Next test was to directly go to the application builder logon by using http://server:port/apex/f?p=4050.
Working machine opens the page fine, but non-working displays error "ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error".
Another difference I noticed is that for working machine I see the cookie for username and workspace being used, this does not show up on the non-working machine.
Edit:
I checked out an idea that this is really related to cookies.
Deleted the cookie to remember workspace and user on the working machine and easily turned it into a non-working machine...
Does anybody have a clue what's going on?
Regards,
Moritz

Hi Christian,
I did not see any errors in the APEX Listener logs.
Then I tried removing the complete APEX environment from the database and freshly install 4.2.2, this did not change anything. :-(
However as I had to somehow restore operations we did a restore to just before the installation of APEX patch 4.2.2
Meaning we reverted everything on the database back to 4.2.1 leaving Glassfish and APEX Listener in place, this works without any flaws.
Afterwards I upgraded the APEX Listener to 2.0.1 and it is still working fine.
Unfortunately there was no time to really dig into the issue but I strongly suspect something is wrong with 4.2.2 as same issue came up even with fresh install.
When I have some spare time next test will be to set up a new environment from scratch in a virtual machine and do some testing there.
Regards,
Moritz
