Messenger 8.0.1 on Mac no longer video or voice links to Messenger for Windows 7

Hi Messenger 8.0.1 on a Mac that did communicate both voice and video with Messenger on a Windows 7 PC under OS 10.6.X, no longer does so under Lion 10.7. Error message says that the Windows user is using a version of Messenger that is incompatible with the Mac version. However the only thing that has changed is the Mac OS. Does anyone know if this problem can be resolved. Apple are you watching??

n Firefox make sure you have at least two (2) tabs open - (Ctrl+T opens a new tab)
In the address bar of one tab, type "about:config" - minus the quotes, of course
You'll see a warning. Click "I'll be careful, I promise" and continue to the configuration page.
There's a search bar at the top. Type "js" - again, minus the quotes.
In the results you'll see pdfjsviewer.disabled with a vaule of false. Click it once, then right click it and choose Toggle to make the value "True".
Close that tab.
Click Tools>Options and go to the Applications tab
Locate Adobe Acrobat Document (or Portable Document File (PDF)) in the list and click the drop-down to select "Use Adobe Reader (in Firefox)". (Mine doesn't have that because I also have Acrobat Pro installed)
Click OK.
Click Tools>Addons to see that the Acrobat plugin is installed
Close and restart Firefox. PDFs should now open in a browser window with the Reader plugin.
Note: This doesn't work for me since the update to 23 and I should have the choice of Reader or Acrobat plugins. Firefox is trying desperatelt to FORCE users to use their crappy PDFJSViewer, which doesn't handle multimedis or forms PDFs.
As to the NPAPI and security risks, that's blown WAY out of proprotion. There are antivirus companies trying to sell their products to Mac users (who will NEVER need them) and they use this "urban legend" to bolster their case.

Display picture in messages totally pixelated when seeing it with yahoo messenger for windows

Hello,
I'm using messages to chat with my yahoo messenger account at work and yahoo messenger for windows at home.
When I log into Yahoo with messages, my yahoo display picture is updated automatically with the one I have choose in messages.
My problem is that this picture is totally pixelated when you see it on yahoo messenger for windows. It seems that Messages is changing its size.
As the size in Yahoo messenger for windows is bigger it appears pixelated!
If I choose no display picture in messages, the one I have choose with yahoo messenger for windows disappear when I'm logging with it.
Is there a way that messages do not update the display picture each time I'm logging to Yahoo?
I suppose that there is no solution to this problem but I wanted to be sure.
Anyway thanks for your help.

HI,
Thanks for the Path.
This does seem to show all the Recents from the Contacts App > My Card, the Login Pic and the Messages Buddy List pic.
I think in Mountain Lion these were either separate items or the .plist that is in the current place listed the app/location the pic was used.
I have looked at the pictures in the folder (.png and thumbnail .tiffs) and the .plist and it does seem to be all the pics I have used in all three places over the last few months.
The Yahoo account is logged in not through IMAgent that FaceTime and Messages use for other Accounts but from the IMServicePluginAgent.
In Mountain Lion this used to list a Buddy Pic server as well as a straightforward login.
Using Little Snitch I am not seeing that in Mavericks.
Seems you may have to change your Pic on a web page for your Yahoo account.

Printer shared from my Mac is not seen from a PC using Bonjour for Windows

I am going nuts here, hope someone can help.
I have a Canon multi-function printer (MP830) attached via USB to a Mac G4 (with Mac OS X Tiger). At one time, I had it set so a Windows 2000 PC could print to it but deinstalled it after some printing issues, and have been unable to get to working again. The machines are connected together via a Netgear router. As far as I know, everything is the same as it was before, yet I cannot get it to work as it did.
- The printer works fine from the Mac.
- If I connect the printer to the PC, it works fine.
- On the PC, using Bonjour for Windows, I cannot see the printer attached to the Mac but I can see, and print to, an Epson printer that is attached to a different Mac.
- And from the second Mac, I am able to see -- but not successfully print to -- the Canon printer. The print job stays in the queue of the second Mac and says "Unable to connect to SAMBA host, will retry... Error: Connection failed with error."
- I have tried:
-- de-installing and re-installing Bonjour for Windows and the Canon print drivers on the PC
-- and have de-installed and re-installed the Canon drivers on the Mac
-- I have removed and re-added the Canon printer on the Mac. Printer Sharing is on, and this printer is checked in the Sharing box.
Any suggestions?
G4 Quicksilver and Dell PC with Windows 2000 Mac OS X (10.4.9) Canon MP830

Thank you. Those are beautifully written procedures.
Looks like it's a network issue. I reach the step, "Adding a printer using the wizard":
You must enter the following URL, you must use the Queue Name you noted down earlier
http://<IP address of Mac>:631/printers/Queue Name
which I do, entering
http://192.168.0.4:631/printers/MP830
and I get the following error:
"Could not connect to the printer. You either entered a printer name that was incorrect or the specified printer is no longer connected to the server."
And then I am toast!
Using the other procedure, I simply don't see the Mac's printers in the Bonjour Wizard's "Browse for Bonjour Printers" window.
Not sure where to go from here -- any ideas?
The Mac's IP (set via DHCP) is 192.168.0.4, subnet mask 255.255.255.0. The PC is 192.168.0.5, I can't find the subnet mask.
Pretty sure it's a network config issue, especially isnce I can Bonjour to my other Mac.
TIA...

Long term planning: What comes after SAPGUI for Windows 7.20?

Is there more than
[https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/147519 Note 147519 - Maintenance strategy / deadlines 'SAP GUI'] saying:
You can be certain that as long as SAP supports any application based on Dynpro technology there will be a supported SAP GUI for Windows release.
Kind regards, Rudi

Hello Rudi,
after 7.20 7.30 will come

I need a gaming keyboard for my mac but the only ones I can find are for Windows, there is no Command button or FN button. Any suggestions?

So, I have an OS X 10.7.5 and I want to get a gaming keyboard, but the only good ones I can find are for windows. I know because they have the Windows home key button, and no FN button or Command button. Any suggestions?

Normally, most Windows-compatible keyboards are also compatible with Mac OS X. If I'm not mistaken, the Windows key (the key with the Windows icon) is the command key. Also, if you do need to use the F1-F12 keys as standard function keys (you would normally hold FN and then press the button), you can set them to standard function keys in System Preferences. There may be some good gaming keyboards on the market that use the Mac layout, but most may use a Windows keyboard. Personally, I prefer the Mac keyboard on my Macbook. I hope this helps!

How can I get a Mac to run a LabVIEW VI that was created for Windows? (it calls DLL files)

This is for a spectrometer. A motor controller is connected by serial and a lock-in amplifier is connected through GPIB. I have a Windows version of the VIs I need to get it all running, but I need to get it running on a Mac. The program was written in LabVIEW 6.0.1 and I have both version of 6.1. Is there a type of file that Mac uses that are similar to DLLs? Is this even possible? Any advice is greatly appreciated.

You can open the VIs on a PC or Mac and double click on the DLL node.
It will show you the parameter info, the function name, path to the DLL,
etc.
If you have the source code to the DLL, then make it on the mac using
the Metrowerks CodeWarrior compiler. If you don't have the source, then
you need to either shift to using diagram nodes exclusively or come up
with some other way of replacing the DLL.
For the details on compiling a DLL, you should look at your manual that
came with CodeWarrior and look at the CIN Manual or search online for
something ...

HT1408 I have just purchased a mac book pro. I've linked this to my windows pc to transfer the data from my windows to my mac using the migration assistant. The serial code comes up on both computers but having commenced transfer it then stops! why?

I have tried to transfer data from my old Windows PC to my new MacBook Pro via Ethernet cable. The function starts to download and then aftera while it stops unexpectedly and both computers say they are "trying to reconnect"> This transfer has failed on three attempts so far. What am I doing wrong? Help please. I am simlply tyring to transfer my itunes library and photos to the new Mac.

Forget Migration Assistant. Just copy the files you want to transfer to an External drive and then move that drive to the Mac and copy them over to the Mac. Does matter what the external drive format is as OS X can read from NTFS, Windows, formatted drives.

I had my mac formatted ipod video (5th gen) and plugged it into windows.

And now it constantly asks me to restore it, and I do, and it asks me to restore the ipod again and that it's corrupt.
Is there ANY way to fix this? Should I try to reformat it to mac?

Thanks, but is the corrupt message normal?
I wouldn't have expected to see that message when you connect a Mac formatted iPod to Windows. Something along the lines of, "Windows cannot read the contents of the iPod. Use Windows to reformat" or similar is what I would have thought.
well, just my luck. i'll try formatting my ipod to mac format when I get the chance next. oh, and my warranty just expired not even 2 weeks ago. I swear I'm so lucky.

Why is it that taking HP so long to release the n-trig driver for windows 7?

I am very disappointed at HP and how they are handling their Windows 7 support. I am just hoping the delay is not because they are adding new touch gestures for their TouchSmart media software. Any ideas?
This question was solved.
View Solution.

You don't mention if you have a 32- or 64-bit OS.
For Win7 64-bit Ntrig version use SP45835 - just released today.

Same license for Windows and Mac?

Hi, I just got Production Premium CS6 for Windows, but I'm about to buy a Mac. Will my license work for both? Do I need to uninstall it for Windows when I switch to Mac? Do I need to purchase a completely different license?

No.
The perpetually licensed Suites (which includes Production Premium) are platform specific: Windows only or Mac only.
The Creative Cloud is multi-platform. The same license works on Windows and/or Mac.
ccccccory wrote:

If you buy a new full Mac version (most expensive route) then no. You will then have a Windows only license and a Mac only license.
If you choose to "crossgrade" (swap the Windows only license for a Mac only license) then your Windows version will no longer be licensed so you'd uninstall that.
ccccccory wrote:

Yes if you want to switch your Windows only CS6 to a Mac only CS6 - known as a "crossgrade".

VT Transaction package for Windows - run on a Mac

I'm trying to load the above onto my Mac and am obviously having trouble as it's for Windows. I'm not even sure which icon I should be trying to open to actually run the program. The options I have on the CD are: 'Autorun.inf', 'Setup.exe', 'SETUP.LST', 'Transact.CAB', then there are 2 folders called: 'Old Setup Program' and 'VTExtend'. Can anyone tell me if it's possible to run this program on a Mac and if so, how?!
Thanks

Hi,
these files/programs are intended to be run in Microsoft Windows and cannot work in OSx or made to work in OSX.
You need to install Windows on your iMac, either with Apples BootCamp http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/ or with third-party apps like Parallels, VMWare Fusion or VirtualBox.

Mac software similar to Autosplitter for Windows?

Is there any Mac software or App that is similar to Autosplitter for Windows?
It can crop, straighten and individually file multiple photos from one scan, i.e. multiple photos on the scanner platen.

Well everyone has to decide on their own workflow but for me I like to use the tool that is best suited for the task.
So in this case I'd let the scanner break the items into multiple files and then do the cropping and straightening in Aperture, it will do a better job and give you more options.
regards
Anf just to be clear Image Capture will allow you to crop the images before you scan them, but I'd still rather do that in Aperture.

Back to my mac no longer works after upgrading to Lion

Back to my Mac no longer works after upgrading to Lion
After I upgraded my home machines to Lion, I can no longer access them from my work computer, which is running Snow Leopard. When they were both Snow leopard, it worked fine. How can I get them working again? I don't have control over the OS on my work computer. Is it necessary for me to downgrade all of my home computers to Snow leopard in order to get them talking again?
Additionally the binoculars icon appears in the menu bar all of the time. In previous versions, this would only happen when somebody connected to my machine. Could these problems be related?

OK, so further investigation has addressed the BTMM issue on a remote machine.
With all machines running lion, I was having issues trying to log in to a standard user headless machine already running. In Snow Leopard, I had no issues with this since you can log in via screen sharing using an admin login that's running a standard login. Lion allows multiple accounts to be signed in which is handy since you can now run virtual sessions. This means you can admin the remote computer without bothering the remote user.
The problem was that now logging in using admin login brings up the admin account (which makes sense) instead of the desktop to the standard login. I applied a similar solution to a problem that was related to screen sharing I found on this board. What I believe to be the fix is to add the standard user to the screen sharing user list. Then screen share to the remote account using the standard user credentials.
So on the remote computer, in System Settings->Sharing->Screen Sharing, add the standard user to be allowed access. Previously I only had admins. This may not be an ideal solution for what I'm trying to do since the remote computers primary login is the standard user to be used as a common computer, but it now works so I am happy with it.
Now my only "problem" is my AEBS complaining about my MobileMe credentials, but it doesn't appear to have an impact on BTMM performance so I'll quietly wait for a fix down the road.
