MacBook FB Chat problems

Ever since the Beginnign of December 2011, I am having Chat problems with FB..
People tha I know are online, apear offline.. As I do for them..  But they are online of others, and they aren't blocking me nor am I blocking them...
Anyone have an idea..  On a PC I don't have these problems...  JUST this Macbook Pro

Try resetting your SMC.

  • IBook-to-Macbook Audio chat problem

    My girlfriends iBook crashes (disconnects from iChat) when We attempt to Audio chat. We've determined that it is her Router because We were able to Audio chat when she logged in at Her job. What is the procedure to determine what would cause this to happen? If Ralph Johns is out there, You helped Me figure this out 2 years ago with My old Girlfriend Mac-to-PC.

    Hi
    Ah the speedtouch, it needs the SIP to be unbound from port 5060.

  • Wifi / Video chat problems that are driving me crazy

    Hello all!
    So here's the story. I bought a Macbook Pro about 4 weeks ago, and from the first day i've turned it on, I've been experiencing a few problems regarding my Macbook's wifi and ability to video chat. Ill address each problem separately
    Wifi:
    So starting from the first boot up, it seems as if my Macbook Pro doesn't always play well with my network over wifi. After establishing a good connection for at least an hour, web pages will refuse to load, even though airport says I'm connected to the internet and to my network. When i turn airport off and back on, I'm prompted for my network password. When I enter it, it attempts to connect, and i get the message "network timeout". I keep getting this no matter how many times i attempt to reconnect, or restart. I have 2 windows computers (vista and xp) and 2 xboxes that are connected via LAN, and 2 ipod touches, an ipad, an old dell laptop (ubuntu), and a Macbook (snow leopard) that are connected at various times wirelessly. The problem persists no matter what time it is, what day it is, where i am in the house, or what is connected to the network. Some days it will happen 5 times, some days (like today), it has yet to happen, so it's very unpredictable. No other computers, including the Macbook, have this problem. I have yet to test this Macbook Pro on another network. I have searched various forums and tried multiple "network timeout" fixes, only to find myself being disconnected again. The problem does not happen when connected via LAN
    Video Chat:
    This problem has also happened previously when i attempted to video chat on the previously mentioned Macbook. No matter what client i use to video chat (Ichat, oovoo, etc.), and no matter how I'm connected (WiFi, LAN), the video quality is very bad, and after a few minutes i lose connection (however, i retain a good internet connection). At best it is choppy, and i can barely understand the other person before i get disconnected. I've tried talking to people of various distances, from people in the same city, to my friend in florida, and i keep getting the same problem. My friends say that they're fine when they talk to other people and the quality is very good in comparison to mine, so I'm lost here. The video chat tests, appleu3test01 and 02 are crystal clear for me, while i don't get a response from 03. I figured it was because i was on wifi, since i have problems over wifi (above), but the problem persists even when connected via LAN. My internet sharing is OFF, as well as any other sharing option. I've gotten mediocre results at best doing VoIP tests, however i get stellar results from speed tests. Wired i get 20mb/s down, 5mb/s up, while wireless i get 5mb/s down, 2.5mb/s up, with a ping of 17ms.
    Im curious to know if these two problems are related! My blame right now falls on the router or it's settings, but as of right now i really don't know how to go about fixing this.
    My ISP is Verizon FiOS, and i must say I've seen a great improvement from when i switched from my local ISP (Time Warner Cable), however through my searching i have seen people run into problems with the macbook pro and Verizon FiOS and their routers. The problem is, I can't simply replace the router, It's used for the TV and DVR streaming and stuff, it had a COAX cable in it.
    If it makes a difference, i needed LAN ports in my room, so i took my old Linksys WRT54G router with DD-WRT Firmware, and connected that to the wire that runs from the Actiontec M1424WR into my room, so i can connect my Xbox and my computer via LAN... that could be a possible interference.
    I am a college bound 18 year old living with my parents at the moment, so extreme fixes (like switching ISP's) are out of the question for me, but i do have free reign over the router settings and such, so i can try most reasonable things. I LOVE my macbook pro, and don't see myself going back to windows anytime soon, so i want to fix these problems ASAP. I consider myself to have a good knowledge of computers, so lay every possible solution on me!
    Thanks in advance!

    ok so all day yesterday i didn't have the wi-fi problem, but today I'm struggling to keep a connection. The status bar reads "Contacting website.com", and stays that way until i stop it, or it gets reconnected. I changed the settings mentioned above, but no dice. My router is up to date and everything too.
    As for the Video Chatting problem, i didn't know that there was a connection doctor, so i tried that, and i get an amber light for "router type", and it says "port restricted". I searched around for a bit, and found somebody who said disabling the firewall on the router helps. I did that, and while i DID notice a significant improvement in video quality and connection quality, i still get an amber light with the message "router type: port restricted. This computers network setup includes one or more devices that are not fully compatible with audio and video chatting.". I still would like to get a green light here, as well as keep my firewall... any suggestions?

    How did you install Windows? Did you use Bootcamp Assistant or did you use a virtual machine like Parallels, Fusion, or VirtualBox.
    If you used Bootcamp Assistant, did you download and install the Windows Support software (drivers) in accordance with the Bootcamp instructions?

  • MacBook pro network problem!!

    My MacBook pro was working fine with my Internet at home and then out of nowhere it disconnected and now it won't connect and says alert: no Internet connection.... Is this a hardware problem or easily fixed??

    POSSIBLE SOLUTION!  OK. I had this problem on my sister's macbook pro when I was beside her connected to my macbook!  The problem was the WAN network, but there is a simple solution, you might just have to play around with it.  Try the following. Just one will work. If you try the first and it doesn't work continue down the list.
    1. Enter a dollar sign before you enter the password to the wifi network (i.e. $abcd1234)
    2. Enter a zero-x before the password (i.e. 0xabcd1234   OR  0Xabcd1234) The x may be lower case or capital. 
    3. Put the password in quotation marks (i.e. "abcd1234").
    Hope this helps. I just spent 30 min on the phone with apple care (that she paid for!) and the guy told me there was nothing I could do but call my internet provider and have them change the WEP to WPA2. While this might not be a bad idea, it was not ideal and did not help with the online work she needed to do tonight for her job as it was after hours for my internet company. The guy from apple care who was surprisingly rude said it was just a know issue that macs had and nothing could be done. Funny how my daughter and I were both on the same network on our MACs! And have always used that network on our MACs! Sorry just had to vent but the above worked for me!

    Reset the SMC, then test your MacBook Air again.

  • Defect MacBook 2011. Problems with the video chip.

    I was faced with the legendary defect MacBook 2011. Problems with the video chip. Heard about what Apple makes replacement chips for free. My friend a year ago made the change in the service center. Is this true now?

    Since Apple says that some copy protected DVD's will not function with Disk Sharing, you may need to "clone" the DVD, using the MBP, to a flash drive, and use the flash drive to perform the installation of the software.
    Another alternative is to download and install the Trial version from the Microsoft Office For Mac website, and then use the activation code provided with the DVD to activate the full version install of the trial.

  • My MacBook Air has problems connecting to a saved network when I first open it.

    My MacBook Air has problems connecting to a saved network when I first open it. When it idles, the connection gets lost and even clicking on the network won't connect it. Then I have to turn off wireless and turn it back on for it to connect. My boyfriend's MacBook Pro does not have this same problem and this problem started maybe 2 months ago and nothing about our internet or router has changed, and its only my computer having the problem. Its a 2013 MacBook Air and my softward is: OS X 10.9.1 (13B42). Please help!

    Hello, nheredia05. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    There are a couple steps that I could recommend trying.  Power cycle the router and test to see if the behavior persists.  Next, try an remove this prefered network from your list and then add it back again.  Make sure all firmware updates have been processed on the router side and the settings have been optimized for performance.  If the issue still persists try the steps in the second article.
