MBA & In-coming iChat audio requests

Recently the iChat application began quitting when I accept in-coming audio requests on my MBA. I do not run many applications at any one time and there does not seem to be a pattern between a particular application being open and the application stopping.
What would be the next logical trouble shooting step?
Thanks in Advance!

If you have done all the Software Updates (they always seem to be updating the iChat program) and the problem is not resolved, I would call Applecare and see what they have to say about it. I did a search for you and have not found any problems with this in general posted here or other Mac websites.

In-coming Audio Requests on MBA result in iChat quitting...

Please note that this is a duplicate post as I wanted insight from both MBA Users and iChat subject matter experts.

This may be related to a recent known issue with Nellymoser audio streams that have encoding errors. The streaming server technology that TWC uses may produce malformed streams.
The Flash Player 18 beta that will land in the next day or two should resolve this (http://www.adobe.com/go/flashplayerbeta/).

Some of my contacts are recieving FaceTime or FaceTime audio requests that I am not making but are coming from the assigned iCloud email address that I do not use for FaceTime

A few of my contacts are recieving FaceTime or FaceTime audio requests generating from my iCloud email address. Additionally some of my contacts, including my husband are recieving texts that say they are generated from me (as their contact) but I am not texting nor do I have access to that particular thread and I am not recieving all of my iMessages from another one of my contacts, but she shows that they are sent. This all seems to be related to a single issue and Im starting to freak out that my apple account or a portion of it was hacked.
A few months ago my husband, out of town, initiated a FaceTime session and someone else answered it, and hung up. He then initiated it again and this time it came through and I answered it. At that time I changed my apple ID password. But now it seems like I am having similar if not escalating issues with this. What do I do?

Does the MBA have an optical audio out (toslink)?

Does the MBA have an optical audio out (toslink)?

The MacBook Pro and iMacs have digital audio out routed through the headphone jack. A physical converter (costing a few cents) must be used to connect a regular TOSLINK cable.
The MacBook Air apparently does not have this feature.
As to true Thunderbolt 'adaptors' I have yet to see any hit the market. I would suggest not holding your breath while waiting for useful Thunderbolt technology to appear--one day perhaps, but not now. I would love to be proven wrong about this--I could really use the Thunderbolt<->FW800 adapter

Why do I get a message something like this following message in GarageBand? "Unexpected audio request...(Elastic audio)(-10024)"

Hi lizz4321,
A digital ID is made up of three components; a private key, a corresponding public key, and some identifying information. The keys themselves are pretty straight forward, they are just big blobs of numbers used to encrypt and decrypt data. It's the identifying information that gets a bit tricky. On first look, the identifying information looks like plain text. You'll see your name and the issuer's name, a serial number, some dates for when the validity starts and ends. All pretty straight forward.
However, all of this information is actually formatted using something called ASN.1 (it stands for Abstract Syntax Notation) and then encoded using BER (Basic Encoding Rules). When someone creates a digital ID they can put just about anything in there. Per specifications (RFC 5280 if you wanted to look it up) some items are required, and others are optional. Each piece of information that goes into the public-key certificate (the PKC is basically the digital ID without the private key) is contained in an extension. These extensions are identified using an OID (Object ID) and conform to a specification which may either be public or confidential.
There are two possibilities in the case you are seeing. Either, some of the information that Acrobat knows about was formatted or encoded incorrectly, or, there is an optional entry that Acrobat doesn't understand how to decode. My guess is it's the latter possibility. There is a rule that states if an extension is marked as critical, and the application using the public-key certificate (in this case the application would be Acrobat), doesn't understand the extension, then the application is supposed to reject the certificate. It could be the former case (badly formatted data), but without seeing the certificate all I can do is guess.

Ichat audio and video problems, error 8

I've been reading the other ichat posts, and it seems that I have kind of the same problem. I can't get audio or video to work with iChat. I can send or receive invitations, but then it gives me an "error -8" message and the attempt fails.
I have a new computer, so this is the first time I've tried to do iChat audio/video chats. I connect via DSL with a Siemens speedstream modem connected to an Airport.
Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.7)

What is your internet up and download speeds?
http://www.speedtest.net/
Sounds as if you need to adjust a few settings:
Navigate to:
System Pref>Quicktime>Streaming = 1.5
iChat>Pref>Video>Bandwidth limit=NONE
Try making those adjustments and let's see what happens.
Feel free to chat with me, my AIM screen name is the same as on here.
Good luck!

Ichat audio and video problem

my ichat audio and video don't work with any of my friends, no problems with a text chat, i'm using tiger and they all have leopard, all macs are up to date, i've tried messing around with the ports, firewall is off, internet sharing is off, i know a lot of people are having this problem, are there any answers to this that actually work, i'd appreciate any help

Hi Ben
Welcome to the  Discussion Pages
Presumably you mean this Linksys is set to Not Block Pings on the WAN port (Or whatever phrase your device has) ?
I also presume that you have done the Quicktime Setting that Steve mentions above ?
I presume the Linksys is the modem as well and it is doing UPnP ?
At this stage I have two suggestions.
1)
Shut down the computer and remove the Ethernet cable (modem or computer end does not matter) (Make sure it will not connect Wirelessly when restarted before hand)
Restart the computer
Restart iChat.
Reconnect the Internet
Log iChat in.
2) Try a reinstall of the COMBO version of the 10.5.2 update
Both of these suggestions have been used in previous iChat's when other things have not worked and the set up appears OK on the surface.
Also try
3) Rebooting the router and a Modem if separate.
4) In System Preferences > Network > Connection method > Advanced Button > DNS tab add the DNS servers of your ISP
DO them one at a time so you know which one works.

IChat audio drops off

I've looked about, but can't seem to find anyone with a similar issue, my iChat audio drops off.
I spend long hours on video iChat and for no apparent reason, after a while, my fiancée will think I'm being quiet.
I can open the Audio/Video preferences and the sound meter bar will be unresponsive to all sounds.
I go into the computer sound settings and the input bar will be active, jumping up and down the meter with any sounds made.
The only way I seem to be able to regain the sound it to quit iChat and open it again and then recall my fiancée.
Does anyone know a cure that will stop this happening, it's been going on since updating to 10.7.3

Hi,
As there are no actual volume settings in iChat itself there is obviously some sort of Capping mechanism or some process that does not fire properly.
On the whole I tend to keep my computer volume Low and use this AppleScript to increase the Volume (output)
Some while ago I added the Input volume line:-
using terms from application "Messages"
on av chat started
        set status to away
        set status message to "In Conference . . ."
        delay 0.2
        set volume input volume 85
        delay 0.2
        set volume output volume 50
        delay 0.2
    end av chat started
end using terms from
this needs to be stored in your Home Library/Scripts/iChat (or Messages folder) and linked to in iChat > Preferences > Alerts by changing the top item to Video Chat Started and enabling the Applescript option and linking to the Script.

No Internet iChat audio or vidio on 2 out of 3 Mac's but works on Bonjour?

I have 3 Mac's on my local network routing through a Belkin router to a DSL modem. iChat audio and vidio will not work with my internet buddies on my MacMini or my MacBookPro, but works fine with my Bonjour buddies. Sounds like a router port problem, BUT my little iBook G3 also running 10.4.9 connects both audio and video iChats on both Internet and Bonjour buddies with no problems.
The firewalls and Quicktime streaming settings are the same on all 3 machines. I don't know where else to look. I assume that the router ports are OK if the one machine can get through.
The MacMini worked fine a month ago on a different network, but with the same router. The modem there was for cable broadband. The MBP is new and this is my first try with it.
Anybody have any suggestions where else I can look for incorrect settings?

Hi Kamx3,
How are the ports enabled in the router and the modem
Which device if any is the DHCP server ?
It sounds like Port Forwarding or DMZ has been set up
for the one computer that works.
You will need a method like UPnP that allows several
computers to use the same ports.
10:57 PM Tuesday; May 1, 2007
Thanks for the feedback and sorry for the delay in responding. The router is a Belkin Wireless . I don't know anything about the DMZ, or UPnP of which you speak. It seems to me that everything worked when I was using the Apple Airport - figures. I'll do some research on these topics to see if I can figure it out. I'll have an opportunity to try it on an Airport this weekend. Thanks again for the tips.

IChat Audio Problems

I just got my new MacBookPro and I'm running into problems with the video chat. When I set up a video chat I can see the other person but can not hear them. They can see and hear me. Whats up with that? I have the audio set up to high, and can see the audio bar move within video preferences. I also ran into a bandwith problem when operating under my AIM name instead of my .mac account. Please help...

Hi Zackary,
First go to System Preferences > Quicktime > Streaming Tab.
Change the drop speed to match your download speed or a max of 1.5meg (T1/LAN) if you exceed this speed.
This will solve your Bandwidth problem
<hr>
IS the other person on a PC ?
If you open the Connection Doctor in iChat Video menu what Frame Rate and Bit rate are they sending ?
It is possible on the AIM 5.9 app that the default Video quality setting is too high.
To alter it they should do this.
Start a chat.
They click on the rear tab where the Video chat appears.
This will be their preview.
Teh they click on the small icon to the right that has just appeared.
The slider should be moved slowly to the left.
With the Connection Doctor open at your end you should get them to stop when at at least at 10fps per sec and you can hear them. After that aim for the best comprimise with a Bit rate of over 150kbps coming from them.
If the person is on a Mac it may be the Quicktiem Streaming Speed setting or just low Bandwidth/Connection speed.
Also check the iChat > Preferences > Video section > Bandwidth Limit is set to NONE.

Linux chat clients compatible with iChat Audio

I have a friend who has Linux. What Linux clients are there that he can use so we can do audio chats, with me using iChat, of course?

Their Should be no problem with camera compatibility it is merely a video feed coming in to iChat that has been correctly converted. How ever I have no knowledge on AIM. I would try a Google Jabber account. Try this http://www.google.com/talk/otherclients.html it works on a lot of platforms and has good video quality. Best of Luck.

No sound coming from Audio Loops

Hi,
I was in a studio session with an artist today and upon reopening Logic Pro X after a lunch break, the audio loops from the loop library are not playing. I've created a new project and dragged the loops into new tracks and they still won't play. It shows there are levels but no sound is coming out. I tried the same thing with midi loop files and those will play fine with perfect sound. I have double checked my speaker system and restarted Logic and the Computer multiple times but it still won't play any sound for any audio loops. Can anyone help me with finding a solution for this?
Thanks!

I had no idea what that was until I searched for it. But I found it and made sure it was set for "Built-in Input" for "Default Input" under System Settings, and also "Built-in Input" by Properties For... then down under Audio Input it has "Line In" as the Source... everything looks fine but I'm still not hearing anything. I even tried adding my mixer as a MIDI device(???), although I've no clue what I'm doing in that area...

Ichat audio

I have ichat AV 2.1 on an iMac with OS 10.3.9 with an ethernet connection to an airport base station connected to a BT voyager 205 ADSL router.
I can use ichat in a text mode and I can chat in audio to other computers on the local network but I haven't had any luck getting an audio connection across the internet. With one buddy with a pc I don't get a phone logo at all, another with a Mac will try to connect but gets a 'did not respond' message.
I've seen that there may be problems associated with firewalls and routers
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93208
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93333
I don't have a firewall turned on on the iMac (maybe there is one on the base station?) or the problem could be with the router its not on the list of 'qualified routers' - if so not sure if it is possible to reconfigure.
Alternatively, my set up may be fine and the problem could be at the other end(s).
Any helpful suggestions?

Hi Ralph,
Just to confuse things, I'm also called Tom.
The advice you gave in this discussion is the closest thing to a solution I have found in dealing with my problem (same as Tom's above), and would love the opportunity to ask you a few questions in the hope that you will check this discussion again...
My parents have the 2mbps BT Broadband deal with a Voyager router, and I assume that it is the 205 ADSL, but I'm not sure right now.
We are unable to iChat AV (audio/video), but are able to iChat (text) with the iSight unplugged. Cannot iChat with the iSight plugged in at all.
I took my mum through the steps in the article you recommended (portforward.com), but at that time we didn't know about the other 21 ports.
I have looked through the portforwarding steps again and it seems that we must first have a static IP. Is this correct? If so any idea how to set it up as the instructions only relate to Windows machines?
My parents are using an iMac G5, plugged straight into the router. OS X 10.3.9 / iChat 2.1. iSight. That's everything I think...
I am I right in thinking that the BT router may be the reason why we are getting the 'Tom did not respond' / 'Mum did not respond' messages?
I am able to iChat AV with the testing AIMs (tryichatav & ichatAVtesting), but have yet to try with a real person.
So the burning qyestion is do you think it would be worth me convincing my mum to go through all 22 ports? i.e. do you think that is the problem? If so do we need to do anything about a static IP address?
Kindest regards and thanks in advance,
Tom

IChat - audio and video chats not working to the UK

I'm trying to do an audio and/or video chat with my Mum who lives in the UK. We're both using the same version if iChat A/V (3.1.5)
However, we've been unable to succesfully connect. Whether she invites me to a chat or I her, we both get a message saying the other person failed to respond, even though we're both accepting the invitation.
I have no problem audio/video chatting to anyone else and it also work with my Mum through Skype or Yahoo Messenger.
Any ideas?

Hi FootsyStuey,
Welcome to the Apple Discussions
Can you tell us what you have done to set iChat up ?
System Preferences > Quicktime > Streaming seting to 1.5Mbps/T1/LAN ?
Mac Firewall ? see here http://www.ralphjohnsuk.dsl.pipex.com/page4.html
The ports in the modem ? See here http://www.ralphjohnsuk.dsl.pipex.com/page3.html
