Mac to mac problem, USA to Germany

I have a powerbook G4 (10.3.9) trying to do ichat with an ibook (10.4) in Germany. We have had no problems in the past, but now we can't connect (we try and it "rings" but either says one of us won't accept the "call" or is busy). It has worked fine in the past, but not now. Is ichat 3 only for Tiger? Is that the compatibility problem?

Hi rosewood,
Welcome To The Apple Discussion Pages.
There is a problem with Auido only chats at 10.4.2 and lower until 10.4.3 and up.
The Tiger person should update to 10.4.5 either with Software Update or from this list
Other than that there should be no problems.

  • HT1515 Just installed Airport Express on Mac 10.6.8  Can't see base station.  Hard Reset the Airport.  Rebooted machine.  How can I tell if this is a Mac problem or Airport Express Problem?

    I have a Mac 10.6.8.  Just installed Airport Express.  I can't see any base stations.  I did a hard reset on the Airport Express, turned off all devices,  turned them back on.   I see plenty of Airport networks in the neighborhood.  How can I tell if I have a Mac problem or an Airport Express problem?  Airport Express blinks Amber. 

    Obviously,  I'm still using ethernet to be able to reply to this.
    Alright, use the same ethernet cable to plug directly into the airport express. This will FORCE the airport utility to now see it regardless of weak signals & interference. You can set it up that way.
    BTW, what is the original intent on the express?

    Running on OSx 10.6.8 using a new HP Officejet 6000 printer. How can I get to within 1/8" on all sides of an 8.5x11 sheet of paper. Images and copy cuts off at 5/8" at bottom. HP says it's a mac problem, not an HP problem. I tried every combination of print settings. Nothing has solved the problem. Have I missed something?

    Yes you are unfortunately you as the consumer are caught in the middle. I totally disagree with what HP told you, they supply the print drivers to Apple, Apple doesn't write printer drivers that I know of. Look in the print settings to see if you can go below 5/8", I know I can with my HP printers (Laserjet 1012, Color Laserjet 2600N, OfficeJet 7410 & OfficeJet 7700 series) so I'm sure the issue is specific to the OJ6000 series.

    Pearson put out a tech note on this today - the new versions of Java are what's causing the problem. If you can use Time Machine to rollback java prior to a java 7 or 1.6.0_37 version that will get you going again. I've been searching for hours for a place to download the older version but it seems Apple's site and Oracle all only have the latest release. Still trying to see if I have a copy downloaded on a system that hasn;t been updated to copy off to a network drive or usb and install the older version on to systems.

    PowerTeacher Gradebook and recent Mac OS X Java update
    An update to Java for Mac OS X was released on October 16, 2012. An issue has been identified with this Java update (Java for OS X 2012-006) which prevents teachers from launching PowerTeacher Gradebook.
    Teachers using PowerTeacher Gradebook should avoid taking this Java update to version 1.6.0_37 until notified that PowerTeacher Gradebook has been certified with this latest version of Java 1.6 for Mac OS X. PowerTeacher Gradebook will continue to work on Mac OS X workstations with Java version 1.6.0_35.

    THERE IS SOMEONE CAN HELP ME...? THANKS :-)

    What kind of problems, viniade? You didn't say.
    If it's internet problems, a connectivity problems could be related to the hosts file, which is in red.
    If it's printer problems, could be the failed Brother printer background process loading failure.
    As far as John Galt's reply is concerned, I agree with him on the Geneio problem. I've never heard of it but after I looked it up it's apparently a real problem-causer with lots of Mac users:
    https://encrypted.google.com/#q=genieo+mac+problems
    And as far as CleanMyMac is concerned, I use that myself & I've never had any problems. HOWEVER, I stick with the software makers' default cleaning procedures. Because OS cleaners, when you get into areas that you're not sure of, just do what you tell them to do. And if you're not sure of what you're doing & you go exploring & pick some cleaning procedure that you're doubtful of but despite your doubts you run them anyway, and you're wrong, then guess what..... a lot of times it's reinstall from a backup time, or even reinstall a whole OS all over again time. IF you're lucky, and IF you learned something. So lesson learned for you there, eh?
    In my experiences with people who know just enough to be dangerous (and yeah..... been there myself decades ago with both Windoze from 3.1 to 7, & Mac's OS, so done dat, learned), a lot of those folks download apps & programs & utilities that're advertised as miracle cleaners. Problem is, it seems like that the more they hype, the more likely you are to get a bunch of crap also installed if you're not paying attention to EVERY SINGLE installation dialogue that pops up in succession. Those things are written so that stuff gets installed that you really don't need, which you'll miss because they're writtent to BE missed & zoomed right on by, but which benefits the company plenty, sometimes to your Mac's detriment & sometimes to your Contacts' detriment (emailed spam), if they get into that database. Those kinds of "helpful" cleaners are in fact hackers' semi-Trojans, aka malware, spyware, adware, etc etc.
    So having said that, I'd recommend dumping your "TuneUpMyMac" app for at least the time being, until you get your Mac back up & running well again. And then, think twice about reinstalling it. Generally, in my experience, cleaning out the caches is all that's usually necessary to do as far as cleaning is concerned, aside from what should be ordinary tidiness & organization of your personal stuff on your HDD.
    Not knowing your level of expertise, I'll go ahead & suggest something I use whenever my Mac starts getting flakey: Applejack.  It's a fixit utility that's run in single-user mode (Command-S at startup chime, type in "applejack" at the prompt).  You can download it from here: http://applejack.sourceforge.net
    Currently, the Applejack makers don't have a version for Mavericks, but their latest version 1.6 runs in my own Mavericks just fine. The biggest culprit I've found thru using Applejack to most minor problems, like persistent beachballing for example, is clogged-up cache files. Applejack dumps them all, System & User caches. I should point out though that in Mavericks, Applejack may not be able to find your User folder when it asks if you'd like to clean out any User's cache folders. If that's the case, just *accurately* type out your own User folder's path: Users/yourusername and press Enter.
    Good luck to ya. And remember, if in doubt, RESEARCH WHAT YOU WANT TO DO UNTIL YOU'RE NOT IN DOUBT.  Then, with *learning* in mind, do what you WERE unsure of.
    But nontheless, make sure your Mac's backed up first AND that your restoring-from-backup apps work like they're supposed to work, using the backups that were created with those same apps, whether it's Time Machine or, say, Carbon Copy Cloner.

    This is not a Mac problem. It's a known issue (although not recognized by Microsoft), it's just a flaw on the Windows Live network. it happens on the Windows client too time to time. The exact reasons are unknown.

  • How i can buy iphone 3gs from USA or Germany

    Hi
    I'm from Egypt and i want to buy iphone 3gs from USA or Germany not from Egypt, Is there anyway to buy from USA or Germany with the same price of USA or Germany not Egypt ?
    And is there away you can send it to me to Egypt ?
    Thanks in advance...:)

    This is a user to user help forum only.
    The lower/advertised price for the iPhone in the U.S. is AT&T's subsidized or discounted price for the iPhone, which requires signing a two year contract with AT&T for the subsidy or discount that AT&T pays Apple on a subscriber's behalf.
    The iPhone is sold in the U.S. as carrier locked with AT&T only. None of the iPhone functions work until the iPhone is activated with AT&T with the exception of being able to make an emergency 911 call in the U.S. Apple nor AT&T in the U.S. will ship an iPhone to anyone outside of the U.S. AT&T also sells the iPhone in the U.S. at a no-contract/no-commitment or at the full retail sales price which is much more expensive, but the iPhone remains carrier locked with AT&T. A verifiable billing address in the U.S. is required along with a credit check by AT&T which is no different that what is required with a two year contract. The no-contract or no-commitment for the iPhone in the U.S. is billed the same as a subscriber with a two year contact but since there is no contract it is on a month to month basis which can be cancelled at any time without a penalty.
    The iPhone is sold in Germany as carrier locked with T-Mobile I believe. Not sure of the iPhone is also sold as officially unlocked in Germany. If so, Apple's support and warranty for the iPhone is honored in the country where the iPhone was sold officially by Apple only. If you are able to purchase the iPhone in Germany as officially unlocked for use with a carrier in Egypt, if a problem develops with the iPhone that requires an exchange under warranty, you would have to return to Germany for an exchange under warranty.
    The sales price for the iPhone in each country is determined by the official carrier for the iPhone in each country.

  • I need to buy final cut pro software  and i need it to support arabic writing the problem iam in germany  the  i tune here does not

    i need to buy final cut pro software  and i need it to support arabic writing the problem iam in germany  the  i tune here does not give you chance to choose the
    language

    If you want the menus and dialogues of the app to be in Arabic, that's not possible, there is no Arabic version of this software.
    If you just want to write Arabic language titles, etc., the language of the app is irrelevant, the input of different languages is handled by the OS, and Arabic input is always available.
    All Apple software is multilingual, no matter where you buy it. For example, the user interface for Final Cut Pro can be switched among English, Chinese, French, German, and Japanese.

  • Sidecar Installation on Mac problem?

    We have applied for the redistribution license and have all the necessary files ( .exe and .app for pc and mac respectively) to perform a sidecar installation.
    We made a hybrid CD using toast on MAC.
    This works great on PC but it has some trouble on mac.
    The application requires AIR 1.5.3.
    If the user has AIR 1.5.3 already installed and our application installs directly bypassing the AIR runtime installation and it works great. Code signing certificate is there and the application is installed with read/write permission for the Admin(me) and all aspects of application works well.
    The problem starts if the user does not have AIR runtime installed. The side car installtion first installs AIR runtime environment and then proceeds to install our application which installs without any error but with read/write access to system and not me. In this case certain parts of the application do not work ( these parts read and write data to SQLite Database on local dissk).
    I went a step further and added me with read/write permision manually just because it worked in the previous instance as expalined above. Even this did not work. I restarted the computer still it did not work.
    I tried to delete system user so that our app has the same permissions as in the first case, but mac does not allow this user to be deleted.
    I beleive that beacuse AIR runtime installs first and needs System permissions, even my application gets installed with these same permissions.
    Now if I delete my application by dragging it to trash and reinstalll it then it works fine again ( As now Air runtime is already there).
    I again checked the permissions  and they were same as if AIR runtime was already present, which is true now because when I removed the application and reinsatlled it, it keeps the AIR runtime and deletes only my application.
    If using sidecar insatllation my application somehow installs with read/write permission for (me) and no users as "system" the I think it wll work.
    I dont know if this is a bug or if there is a solution around this.
    Please Help ASAP as we want to go live with this project next week.

    Hi Harjeet,
    This is what I encountered in my testing.
    In the first scenario, both the runtime and application are being installed. The runtime installation requires the process to elevate, you are asked to enter your credentials. This allows the runtime to be installed successfully, but the application is also installed as part of the elevated process, so the final permissions on the application end up with the owner being "root" and the group "wheel".
    In the second scenario, where the runtime is already installed, only the AIR application is being installed from the disc. If the user is an Administrator, the application install process is not elevated, you are not asked to enter your credentials. The final ownership permission on the application is the user who performed the install and the group "staff", at least on the Mac OS X 10.6 system I tried this on.

  • Serious Mac Problem : Why does my mac went really slow and then when I want to re-open it, it won't let me

    Yesterday I was working on my computer.
    I was about to start a new text on word.
    Suddently, the mac keeps on showing me the circle with all the colours for a lot of times.
    Then after what maybe 5 or 10 minutes, it got stuck there.
    I couldn't do anything except to shut it down or to wait.
    So I closed the computer and I came back the other day to see if it wasn't just a little problem.
    I open the mac and the Apple sign showed up and I had to wait for atleast 1h so here I am wondering if my computer is broken or just really old to work properly.
    If anyone of you knows what's going with my mac or if you ever had that type of problem with your computer and you know how to deal with it,
    please help me out.
    thank you in advance

  • How do I use a PC Hard Drive on Mac (Problem)

    My friend has a Intel Imac (2.16 Ghz from about 2006).  She bought an external 2TB hard drive, some copied a number of movies to it for her with a PC.  When she hooks it up to her imac, the drive mounts / shows up with about 8 to 12 different icons on her desktop, but there is nothing on any of them that she can see.  I thought it might be a problem with the drive.  It is NTFS format.
    However she brought the drive to me and I connected it to 2 different windows 7 computers and it works perfectly for me.  I can access the movies, write to it, etc.  I only see a single partition, basically it works perfectly for me and I see nothing wrong with it.
    What do I need to do to this drive so that she will be able to see it and the contents on her iMac?  Or is there something that needs to be done special on the Imac it's self?
    Thanks so much;
    Jamie

    format the external for Mac and use MacDrive or HFS+ for Windows on the windows side.
    use the FAT32 format and live with the "4-GB-per-file" limit
    format the drive NTFS and install e.g. the NTFS 3G driver on the Mac.

    2) another mac retail store visit to genius bar, this time with laptop to show them the problem. they told me it was my machine not the shuffle. i explained i am a mac sys admin and that is ridiculous...my machine though a few years old is completely up to date. we then deleted all receipts out of the Library dealing with iTunes and reinstalled iTunes via software update. same problem immediately after the setup assistant. no software version and no choice to update or restore ipod. downloaded the ipod reset utility for mac for 2nd gen shuffle and error message shows "the selected ipod is not supported by this utility". also shuffle icon shows up as generic white ipod. mac genius stumped so they swap out my brand new shuffle for another brand new shuffle.
    3) 2nd shuffle in a week and same problems occur. will not update in iTunes. will not restore in iTunes. will not restore in ipod reset utility. icon shows generic white ipod. i can copy music to it but it will not play, lights flash green and orange.
    4) tried to use disk utility to reformat. erase using MS-DOS, but it says FAT16 instead of FAT32. same problems as above.
    *weird that I can't reformat to FAT32 when selecting the MS-DOS format. I only see FAT16 as a choice. Disk utility should do FAT32 but I can't seem to get it to work on shuffle and i don't have a spare hard drive to test it on. Anyone have any experience reformatting ipods via Disk Utility to windows format? Please share...
    At this point I have access to a mactel book and will attempt to fix it on the newer machine. I will be very upset if it works because there is nothing saying that you need new hardware to use the new shuffle. i also get the usb 1.1 error message but again there is nothing saying you need usb 2.0 for shuffle use.
    if anyone has tried anything different with good results please respond! from my experience this seems to be an issue specifically between older mac ppc machines and the new windows drivers installed on the shuffle. i use windows drives all the time with my mac and there are no problems. however a brand new ipod shuffle 2nd gen out of the box does not seem to like my older machine...even after two reinstalls of itunes! even the reset utility is not working as described....
    any help with this is much appreciated!!!

    Ok here it is, my final post on thoughts on this issue...
    Unfortunately, my guess was correct, there does seem to be a hardware issue related to iTunes 7.1.1 and whether it is on a mactel machine or an older ppc machine.
    I can confirm this because the ipod settings screen on my older PPC powerbook is TOTALLY different than the screen I saw on the newer mactel macbooks, even though the software version says its EXACTLY THE SAME! (iTunes 7.1.1)
    On a mactel macbook, I see the ipod shuffle settings such as "Autofill" etc with the correct icon and software version and serial number.
    On my PPC powerbook, I see a generic white ipod icon (even though the finder shows the correct icon of my 2nd gen shuffle) and the settings tab for the ipod is completely different....the update and restore continued to be grayed out, there is no software version or serial number available as well. This is probably why I am not able to register my ipod shuffle from my machine.
    I did not erase and resync the ipod shuffle to my PPC machine to see if that would allow it to continue working. So far so good. After unmounting, it still plays songs. However, I checked the "manage songs manually" option and added just one more song to the shuffle. I tried to then play that song but it would not play even though it was copied onto the shuffle...I could play it from the ipod via iTunes but not when I was just listening to the shuffle. I confirmed this with the application "PodWorks", the song I copied from my library does NOT show up in the list of songs on my ipod shuffle...however it DOES show up and play in iTunes.
    So I feel pretty stuck right now...
    I can have a working ipod shuffle but NOT from my ipod library. It seems I can only listen to songs off my friends newer machines because for whatever reason, the ipod shuffle DOES NOT WORK with a PPC Powerbook 17inch, 1ghz, 1gb RAM, 10.4.9 running the current latest version of iTunes 7.1.1.
    ***** to be me. Anyone else come to same conclusion?
    If this is real then other users with older macs should not waste their money on the 2nd generation ipod shuffle. Please respond if you have any suggestions or thoughts on this matter.

  • Adobe Media Encoder Mac problem

    Hi folks,
    I've put off posting this for 2 months now in the hopes that I could figure it out myself by reading through the myriad of other posts on this, but I'm at the end of my efforts with no luck.
    First off, system specs:
    Mac Pro 2.8 GHz 8 core, 12 GB RAM, Leopard 10.5.8
    Adobe Prod Premium Suite CS4 latest versions
    Files: H264 1280x720 from Canon T1i, also same prob for any projects with footage from Canon HV30
    Problem: same old one that's been posted a million times-
    -click export and it opens media encoder, hit encode and it says "loading" for about 5 minutes, then gives the ole' "Could not read from the source. Please check if it has moved or been deleted" error
    Things I have tried or noted:
    -Uninstalled, Ran CS4 clean, removed anything (prefs etc) Adobe, Reinstalled
    -made sure no Red Giant demos were on the machine
    -repaired permissions
    I tried doing it on my Macbook Pro, and it works just fine, so the prob is specific to my mac pro
    If there is any other ideas for this, please let me know, I've seen numerous suggestions for Windows, but not for mac.
    One interesting thing is that Premiere crashed about a dozen times when I open it for the first time after an install, being an audio engineer, I have a ton of vst instruments on the machine, and it seemed like it would crash on initializing many of the plug-ins.  Native instruments in particular were bad, but after each restart it would move on to the next plug-in.  It did do this on the Macbook Pro as well though...
    This is getting very frustrating as I love working with Premiere, but the only option for me has been to open the project in After Effects, and export from there... far from ideal.
    Any ideas?  Any other info needed?  Thanks for any help!

    Well Harm, you are now official tech support for Macs too!!! (whether you like it or not
    I moved the vst plug-ins and voila, yellow export bar for the FIRST TIME in Media Encoder!!!!
    So for now, I might try figuring out which is the culprit, but I think I'll just move the plug-ins whenever it comes time to export.
    You have made my day!  (I just wish I would have asked for help months ago!)
