Lost Connection - Communication Error

Is it me or is IChat a complete piece of S**t. I have had my MacBook Pro for about a year now and love every other facet of it. I even managed to convince my father in the UK to purcahse one due to my rave reviews so that my parents could talk to my 18 month old daughter and I online in the USA.
He got his Mac and as if by magic we had no connection problems probably the 1st dozen times we tried to communicate via ichat. perfect picture great sound and it was wonderful. Since that eventful day we have been connected just once by chance it would seem. I have read forums and boards and we have tried changing ports etc and still nothing. We get the same message every single time - Communication Error.
We have both .mac accounts and aim accounts and neither will work. Can somebody please help us or I am afraid my Father is going to return his Mac and mine will become a very expensive paper weight and I will return to high end PC's.
Thanks........
Very frustrated

Hi Sb003,
Check these settings.
1) System Preferences > Sound > Input
Make sure correct Mic/input device is used and Volume gets to over half way.
2) Make sure iChat > Preferences > Video section > Microphone drop down is the same mic/input device.
3) Go to iChat > Video menu and make sure Camera amnd Microphone Enabled are ticked.
4) System Preferences > Quicktime > Streaming tab
The drop down in here should be set to match your download or a max of the 1.5Mbps/T1/LAN speed setting
It is most likely the last one of these.

  • LSO- BSP connection- Communication error

    Hi
    We have installed LSO FE and LSO BE. We are not using portal. When I am trying to use the BSP, it gives me a communication error.
    Has anyone experienced this?

  • 'unable to connect communication error'

    I am getting error when I try to connect to the iCloud from my Mac book pro. My AppleID is correct and able to connect from my iphone 5. I am not sure what could be wrong from the Mac. Any help is greatly appreciated. I have the latest OS installed on the machine.

    Hi Stefan,
    We are having the same issue with a customer who has moved to a new terminal server environment. We cannot get the users to connect to the DB from there, but SAP is connecting with no issues.
    We have exactly the same message & have run through the same steps.
    Did you manage to get this resolved, and can you remeber how?
    Thanks

  • RDP 8.02438 for Mac lost connection when scroll on touchpad or mouse

    Hello
    when I scrolled pages in win apps by using touchpad or apple mouse rdp lost connection and error message appears: "connection reset by peer"
    It appear not always but if I switch from one apps to anther in launchpad and tries to scroll at once in active window(not always but often). But if after switching to that app I press somewhere inside active window by mouse I can scroll (in that case scroll
    always works correctly)
    It seems that in RDP after switching to new app window it gets focus only after clicking inside active window.
    It's difficult to me describe it exactly in english

  • "Partially lost connectivity" error message

    We're conducting some load testing and when we reach a certain threshold in the test, Coherence will report this error:
    [2010-10-21 20:21:39,376] ERROR [Logger@9243969 3.5.3/465p7] (Log4j.CDB:3) - 2010-10-21 20:21:39.376/7166.760 Oracle Coherence GE 3.5.3/465p7 <Error> (thread=Cluster, member=6): This node appears to have partially lost connectivity: it receives responses from MemberSet(Size=2, BitSetCount=2, ids=[4, 7]) which communicate with Member(Id=5, Timestamp=2010-10-21 18:22:38.456, Address=10.13.9.35:13921, MachineId=3619, Location=site:int.qaload.lan,machine:bcla01,process:9977, Role=RNTCServerEmbedded, PublisherSuccessRate=0.9615, ReceiverSuccessRate=0.9879, PauseRate=0.0020, Threshold=1785, Paused=false, Deferring=false, OutstandingPackets=1, DeferredPackets=0, ReadyPackets=0, LastIn=91315ms, LastOut=3301ms, LastSlow=n/a), but is not responding directly to this member; that could mean that either requests are not coming out or responses are not coming in; stopping cluster service.
    We've verified that we're not approaching the capacity of the NIC on the server or the network itself. The CPUs on the servers are also well under maximum levels.
    Other than the obvious (i.e. a network connectivity problem), what would cause this error? In other words, under what circumstances is this error displayed?

    Hi Jeff,
    Not sure if you've seen the description of the message here ...
    http://coherence.oracle.com/display/COH35UG/TCMP+Log+Messages
    Cause : The communication link between this member and the member indicated by %s2 has been broken. However, the set of witnesses indicated by %s1 report no communication issues with %s2. It is therefore assumed that this node is in a state of partial failure, thus resulting in the shutdown of its cluster threads.
    Action : Corrective action is not necessarily required, since the rest of the cluster presumably is continuing its operation and this node may recover and rejoin the cluster. On the other hand, it may warrant an investigation into root causes of the problem (especially if it is recurring with some frequency).
    Thanks

  • Mysql_connect "Lost connection to MySQL..." error 61

    A web developer is getting this error on a test web server of ours that is running 10.5.7 Server.
    "Warning: mysql_connect() function.mysql-connect: Lost connection to MySQL server at 'reading initial communication packet', system error: 61 in..."
    I've seen other postings online for this error suggesting that the line containing 'bind-address 127.0.0.1' be commented out within /etc/my.conf... but this line doesn't exists on my installation.
    MySQL and php have been working well for other databases and developers. This is a newly created database.
    Has anyone else seen this error and found a fix?
    Thanks!

    This is more than likely a firewall problem on your users end. I just ran into this when moving my servers to a colocation. Everything was fine until i tried to connect to an outside database from the machines behind the new firewall. was set to allow 3306 in, but not out. And would connect without issues to localhost:/var/mysql/mysql.sock .
    from the machine trying to connect from try
    shell> telnet <servername> 3306
    should be able to login. if refused, then port is closed.

  • Java Communication error:Error while opening an RFC connection

    Hi,
    I am getting Java Communication error:Error while opening an RFC connection when i try to run a query from Bex analyser.
    please let me know how to resolve this
    Thanks
    Bala Duvvuri

    This error usually comes when the java stack is not upgraded.
    when you upgrade yourABAP stack, simultaneously you have to upgrade the java stack also.
    Please co-ordinate with your basis team to inform EP team to upgrade the java stack when basis team do ABAP stack upgrade.
    Hope this would help you.

  • Communication errors when iPod 2nd gen connected to car stereo

    So a while back I ultimately decided to update my 2nd gen iPod touch from iOS 3.1.3 to the highest it'll support, which I believe is iOS 4.2.1. The update went fine, and everything seemed to be working alright until I plugged it into my car's stereo as I normally do while going to work and back. I'll detail the problem below.
    The stereo is aftermarket, a Pioneer unit, which is probably considered really old by today's standards but for me it still works beautifully. I plug the iPod in via the USB port it has. Before updating the iPod, there were no problems. After the update, specific songs on the iPod will trigger an "Error-19" to display on the screen of the stereo, and all control of the iPod ceases to function. The error refers to a communication error of some sort between the iPod and the stereo. Now the strange thing is that even though this error pops up, the iPod will continue to play the song that caused the error and proceed to the next track when it's done. I have my iPod playing on shuffle so when this error comes up I have to wait for the song to finish and hope the next one doesn't trip the error again when I unplug and plug the iPod back in. Doing that while the song is still playing just produces the same error. Ifthe next track is fine, plugging it back in restores all function.
    So while this error isn't the end of the world, it's a brain teaser that's been irking me for a few weeks now. I'm hoping someone may know if something within iOS was changed between 3.x and 4.2.1 that might cause this type of communication error to come up. I originally thought it may have something to do with ID3 tags and some rogue setting that confuses the stereo when it's sent over, but I couldn't really find any major difference between songs that work perfectly fine and those that cause the error to show up. I'm at a loss here so any isight would be appreciated.
    Also of note, I am aware that upgrading to a newer stereo or newer iPod will undoubtedly fix this, but I don't really have a need to spend money replacing equipment that is still in working order. Thanks for your time.

    Sometimes this works:
    - Reset the car system
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings      
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up                                                                
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.             
    If not then contact the Pioneer. Maybe there is a firmware update available for the car system.
    Yes, other users have reported that updated to iOS 4 broke compatibility with some care systems.

  • CM1312 NFP: WIndows 7: USB Error message ~"Lost Connection"

    With the 1312 connected to my Windwos 7 desktop, periodically Windows gives an error message that indicates that it has lost connection to the printer.  Unplugging and replugging the USB cable fixes the problem.  Otherwise the print & scan functions work perfectly.  Symptomatically it appears as if the printer goes to sleep and stops responding to whatever "keep alive" messages Windows might be sending.  Is there a setting in the printer, in Windows or in the printer driver software that can prevent this message?
    BTW, the other way to work around this problem is to just access the printer via the Ethernet but the scan funciton is not accessible via the network (an unfortunate limitation).

    aluniewski,
    I am sorry, but to get your issue more exposure I would suggest posting it in the commercial forums since this is a commercial printer. You can do this at http://h30499.www3.hp.com/hpeb/ .
    I hope this helps.

  • Trying to redownload but keep getting a "lost connection error"

    In the past, I had some problems with my laptop so I recently re-installed Windows 7 yesterday. I got everything running fine. But today, I am having problems with flash player. Youtube videos don't play correctly and some websites don't display like they are supposed to. So, I tried redownloading adobe flash player, but I keep getting this "Lost connection" error. What is the problem and how do I fix it? I'm using FireFox, btw. It seems to work on Google Chrome but I like using FireFox better.

    Try using these installers:

  • I lost my connection when I was using internet and when I want to reconnect to airport it give me connection timeout error, I changed my password on router but still doesn't work. How can i fix my problem?

    Hi,
    I lost my airport connection when I was using internet and when I wanted to re-reconnect to airport it gave me connection timeout error, I changed my password on router but still doesn't work. How can i fix my problem?

    Hello there hastibahreini,
    It sounds like you were using your Wi-Fi network from your Airport base station and the connection cut out. You have reset the password on the device but the issue persists. I would try the 3 resets outlined in the following article in order to help resolve the issue. If it persists, is the Wi-Fi connection issue happening on more than one device or computer?

  • Canon MX340 wireless printer no longer connecting over wireless and coming up with "a communications error has occured"

    I have a Canon MX340 wireless printer and have only recently started having trouble printing over the wireless connection. No settings have changed on my MacBook Pro, the printer, the router or the wifi connection and it is strange how it has just stopped working. I have tried things like restarting the laptop and removing the printer from the laptop and re-adding it. It sometimes seems to work for maybe one print but then it goes back to saying "a communications error has occured", when I try to print again.
    Any help would be great. Thanks

    I had the same MX340 problem.  My printer was working fine over WiFi connection to my Airport Extreme for years and then suddenly, about a month ago, it stopped printing after the first print job.  I can print once and then I have to power-cycle the printer to get it to print another time and then I have to repeat the power-cycle.
    The printer seems to be "forgotten" by the network or lose its connection after the first print job.
    On my MacBookPro 10.6.8 I get the error code 300...yadayadayad... On my iMac 10.5.8 it just says :communications error".
    HERE IS THE FIX - I got it off this link - http://www.techsurvivors.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=24681
    You have to connect to the MX340 using the printer cable that came with the printer (or any USB printer cable) and set up a hardwired USB printer queue.  Then print a couple of print jobs - I use TextEdit and type in "1234".  Then try the same thing but select your WiFi print queue - I just type another line on the same sheet of paper with TextEdit.
    The WiFi connection should work again.  I did this a few more times and then disconnected the USB cable and now it continues to work without the USB print queue being used.  I can also print to the WiFi queue with my iMac.
    If you still have problems I suggest you set up the printer again on the WiFi router using the "print cable connection" method.  Here's a link to a webpage someone kindly provided instructions for the process:

  • Ipod Communications Error rec'd when connecting to Ipod port in Scion Xb

    I recently purchased an Ipod Nano and a Scion Xb. The Scion has an Ipod port for easy connection. However, when I connect my Ipod Nano to the port/cable, I get an error message. "Ipod Communication Error" Does anyone know what I can do to fix this problem?

    I have a Scion xB 2006 with the Pioneer iPod control and an iPod Photo 30GB. Which was working fine for about 3 weeks and now it will play a few tunes and then freeze. I've also run into songs playing but with no sound on iPod. I've tried rebooting the iPod, I've tried to restore/update, reload the music and settings on the iPod with no luck. After the freeze the setting stay stuck to the Scion logo on the iPod.
    I suspect Pioneer puts a little bit of code out on the iPod disk or firmware to get it to work with the Steering Wheel controls as well as putting out its own logo and messages on the iPod display itself. Support for the iPod podcast menu seems non-existent as well. It would be nice if there was a way to get the iPod back to Factory Settings. I suspect a problem with the manufacturer Pioneer. But I'll go complain to my dealer first!
