Messages and ichat is not allowing me to video chat or download/upload files.

I have installed and reinstall the latest version of ichat and had downloaded messages beta, but neither will not alllow me to video chat or download/share files. Anytime I initiate the video chat, and the person on the other end accepts, I will either get a message saying that my invite has been declined, or I will receive a communication error message. When the other person on the other end initiates the video chat, the quality is very poor. It cannot be because of internet speed because this also occurs over my schools network. When a person tries to send me a file and I click to download it, it always give the message "Disconnected". My current operating system is Lion with all the software updates, my firewall is off, my internet speed is good, I have mentioned that I have installed the latest version of both (i downloaded messages beta because I thought it would solve my ichat problem, to no avail) and I am able to do these on other programs,(e.g skype and gchat). Help anyone?

Hi,
Exactly what is your Upload and Download Internet speeds ?
"Good" for where you live may not be adequate in the "Real World" scheme of things.
iChat requires at least 128kbps Upload to be able to Video Chat.
This is 128kbps of "free Speed" (Bandwidth) that is not being taken by sharing the connection with other computers or Wifi able devices such as iPads and iPhone (or other phones).
You can add to this that your computer also should not have another app eating into that bandwidth
As Downloads are generally faster than Uploads, I am only really worried about the Upload.
It would also help to know if you are using a Jabber ID (GoogleTalk, Facebook or other Jabber) or an AIM login (AIM, @mac.com or @me.com) and on what platform your Buddy is using.
I ask this as different people report different issues with File Transfers according to account type (and it is not consistent across the different types).
In whichever app you are using currently go to the app Menu > Preferences > Video Section and set the bandwidth Limit to 500kbps
This may help "Smooth out" any issues to do with your ISP varying the speed a lot.

I have recently bought a macbook and am using outlook 2011 as email. i am getting an error message 4.7.0 not allowed when sending emails how do I fix?

i have a macbook and am using outlook 2011 as email. receiving okay. sending okay sometimes. am now getting error message 4.7.0 not allowed when sending. what is the cause? how do I fix please?

I have discovered that the emails have in fact been sent but much later, maybe it's a network problem with the people i am sending it to. so i checked my sent items and they are there, but at the time the email doesn't go straight into the sent box or drafts so i'm assuming it's disappeared and type it again. i'll keep going with it, until someone can give me a possible solution or explanation as to what is happening.

So I downloaded the wrong Airplane Mode program for my operating system and I now have AppleScript Error message. It will not allow me to quit the program. Also, once that happens how do I remove the program from the computer?

What Airplane Mode program? To stop a running program launch Activity Monitor (in utilities folder) and quit the program from there. To remove the program drag it to the trash or better use the uninstaller that should have come with it.

Help with the error message that ADE is not allowed to copy a book onto my Nook. I have tried authorizing and unauthorizing many times--at wits end with this issue.

Help with the error message that ADE is not allowed to copy a book onto my Nook. I have tried authorizing and unauthorizing many times--at wits end with this issue.

I too am having the same problem. I have a new hard drive that was imaged from the old one and I'm trying to side load a book to my Nook Simple Touch.. I first installed ADE 4 then borrowed and downloaded a book from Overdrive. I tried a few times to delete and reauthorize both the computer and the Nook and each time I get an authorization error when I try to side load the book. I then found on the Nook forum that the Simple Touch and ADE 4 don't get along. So I uninstalled ADE 4 and installed ADE 3.
I then followed this recommended procedure found on the forum: I deleted the Digital Editions folder from my Nook, launched ADE 3 and authorized the computer, then connected the Nook. For a few seconds, hovering the mouse over the setting icon for the Nook displayed everything on the context menu grayed out. But then it showed the context menu and I was able to display the Nook's authorization, which was the same as the computer's. Still get the same error side loading the book. Deleting and reauthorizing doesn't help. And the Digital Editions folder is still missing from the Nook.

I can only send messages to other iPhones and I am not allowed to make or receive calls

I can only send messages to other iPhones and I am not allowed to make or receive calls at all not even iphones.

You must have a SIM card installed ( if applicable ) and have your iPhone activated to make calls or text mobile phones.

Have you tried using Activity Monitor to shut down Safari?
Ciao.
Have you clicked on the Safari icon in the dock and seen if 'Force Quit' is displayed?

I had recently updated from Windows 7 to Windows 8.1 and thus had to re download Adobe Digital Editions. I downloaded Version 4.0 but the problem seemed to be with the authorization between the e-reader and the computer. While in ADE click the help button and click erase authorization then re do your user id and password. It worked for me.

I just installed the free trial Adobe Acrobat XI Pro and it is not allowing me to freely convert a pdf to a word document????!!!!

I just installed the free trial Adobe Acrobat XI Pro and it is not allowing me to freely convert a pdf to a word document????!!!! Why is this? Does anyone have this problem?

When you report a problem you should always try to include as much relevant information as possible. Saying "it doesn't work, help me!" is not very helpful to us, because there could be a million reasons for it not working... What exactly happens when you try to convert a PDF to Word? Are there any error messages? How exactly are you trying to do it? Also, what operating system do you use? What version of Word? What exactly version of Acrobat? etc.

RFC Function Module - Message Reference parameters are not allowed with RFC

Hi,
Ive checked the Remote-Enabled Module radio button, declared Import and Export parameters using Type typing and checked the Pass Value in export and import parameters but I still receive message Reference parameters are not allowed with RFC and not able to activate the function module.
Am I missing something?
Regards,
...Naddy

Hi all,
I faced the same problem and solved it ,
You have defined a reference parameter for a remotely called
function module. However, only value parameters are allowed
for this type of module.
Procedure
Change the reference parameter to a value parameter.
Guys pls .don't leave the thread un-asnwered when you solved problem , post the solution it might be useful for others also.

After installing ios5 and having had to change my apple id to e-mail address I am unable to download updates as they were purchased under my previous id and it will not allow me to get back into the old id Help please.

After installing ios5 and having had to change my apple id to e-mail address I am unable to download updates as they were purchased under my previous id and it will not allow me to get back into the old id Help please.

Make sure you enter your new Id in settings/message, settings/facetime. ANy content that you downloaded with the old ID is forever linked to that old ID and if you have apps that were downloaded with the old ID and you want to update them you can only do that with the old ID. You could delete those apps and downlad them again ( and pay for them if they are not free apps)

I can not upgrade the iOS on my phone, nor sync the phone because the process starts with backing up the phone which always hangs up at the backing up stage and then will not allow further progress.

And for this I guess that it is the backing up of my Podcasts - which are free downloads that causes the hang up. These are items that I have played and synced before without issues. I am thinking this way because these are Podcasts that I used to play but sundenly would not play on my iPhone. Each time I try to play anyone of them it generates the message - this movie could not be played.
I am scared of atempting a system restore because I guess I may lose my SMS for the past two months. Please approach the solution from this point of view.
Thanks

Please refer to this thread.

It may have something to do with one of your backup files that has been corrupted before.

I have tried to send photos through text messaging and it will not send. I thought my iPhone 3 was giving out so I got my iPhone 4 last night and still can't send photos through text message. What is the deal??

Also MMS is supported on a carrier by carrier basis. While mostly every carrier does support ths feature make sure that your carrier allows this functionality.

I upgraded my iphone 4 OS yesterday to ios 5, today morning my phone is not working, i am not able to click any button and also its not allowing me to switch off the phone and restart. Anyone having similar issues

i upgraded my iphone 4 OS yesterday to ios 5, today morning my phone is not working, i am not able to click any button and also its not allowing me to switch off the phone and restart. Anyone having similar issues?

From my post on what seems like the same issue (found here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/21087892#21087892)
Take the following steps:
1) while connected to wifi, toggle off then back on the Show All Music and iTunes Match options shown in my original post. Important: I did this step before, but wasn't connected to wifi, and my music disappeared. Subsequently, I connected to wifi and turned off and then back on those options and everything came back though it was grayed out and my only option was to download music.
2) To get streaming over cellular back, go into Settings>General>Cellular and scroll down to the "Use Cellular Data for:" options and make sure the iTunes option is set to 'On'
The above steps will bring back the streaming capability which seemed to go away when you update to 6.1. It didn't ACTUALLY go away, but something about the update toggled off the iTunes option in step 2 above.
I did a final test by turning off wifi, opening Music app and selecting a song. It played successfully without downloading! Crossing my fingers, but I think I'm good to go!
Hope this helps!
