More on failure to respond

I've opened all the appropriate ports in the OS Firewall preferences, my linksys WRT54GS v.5 is set to UPnP (I've also tried port forwarding), and I've trashed ichat preferences. Both of my computers are configured exactly the same in the system prefs. I can make a video connection from the laptop to the appleutest sites, but I still cannot make a connection from my desktop computer. Any ideas?

Try setting up static ip addresses for each machine. I have the WRT54G router and I've noticed that static IP's help.

Re-occuring "failure to respond" error.

Hi!
I have recently sorted out an issue with SIP port binding (thanks ralph), with immediate results - for details see: WAH1040, "another "failure to respond"" #34, 07:09pm Sep 21, 2005 CDT
However one week later, the problem occured again. I guided my parents through the same procedure as last time (unbinding of port 5060 through telnet), and they were prompted with a message which basically said that the port was already unbound. AV Chatting did not work immediately, but after quite a few tries it eventually started up.
Now two weeks later we tried again, and this time we had no luck, and gave up.
The error message has always been the same "x failed to respond", where x is me at my end, and them at their end.
It would seem that the SIP port unbinding is not enough to fix the problem.
Any Ideas?
Cheers,
craig jonathan.

Hi Matt,
A DHCP server is a device that can issue IP addresses to other devices connected to it with out the need of the users intervention.
Some IPs use this type to enable end users to just plug in and get a Public IP address. When you disconnect and reconnect then you may get a new IP address. This is no good if you are running Myhomewebpages.com from your computer (rather than a server somewhere "out there")
Dometic modems that route and routers also have the option of doing this and by default it is normally on.
So you can connect a router which is doing DHCP and issuing IP addresses to ALL devices downline from it (and in some cases Up-line as well) to a modem the is Issuing IP addresses to ALL devices downline from it. As your computer is downline from both your computer gets two IP addresses (one for each subnet).
The important thing with subnets id to make sure the previously issued IP addreses stop at that router. Static IPs will do this.
Modems have to be "told" to pass the Public IP address on inn "Bridge" mode.

Failure to respond errors on iChat

Help! My brother and I are having problems when we try to connect with one another on iChat. Even if I initiate the call it says that I failed to respond. I've read that you should check all of your connections, but check them for what? My computer is new--shouldn't it be ready to go?

thetoots
If you look at the User Tips Library at the head of page 1 of this forum, you'll probably find what you need to know about getting started with iChat.
Otherwise, post more details of your connection, modems, routers, internet connection, etc.

webweave,
Welcome to the Apple discussions!
Generally, as discussed above, having 2 mount points for the same disk in the volumes folder won't prevent a successful backup. But in your case (#15!), that's a problem. More often than not, they are being created by Time Machine because you already have one or more instances of the Time Capsule disk mounted on your desktop. Ejecting the TC disk when it is not needed is the best way to avoid creating multiple mount points.
If you have any further questions, please post them in a new thread. You can refer back to this discussion with a link if necessary.
Cheers!

Another "failure to respond"

I have been reading about all the others that are experiencing problems with this... and find that none of the solutions are working.
I have been using ichat av perfectly before upgrading to tiger, and now i get the message that I am not respodning, even though it me that initializes or responds.
No change of hardware, or network or ISP has occured. Tiger is the only new element.
This surely must be a bug with iChat. This is extremely frustrating!!!
Help Apple!!!

Hello Dan,
You still do not say whether you are also using a ZyXEL. If you are, try Ralph's suggestion.
I am at version 10.4.2 ...Your system info still says that you are at "Mac OS X (10.4)". You can update your Discussions Preferences to reduce the confusion to those trying to help. The link you need is immediately below the "Logout" link at the upper right on this page.
... still am having problems.Test with other users to determine which end of the connection is causing the trouble. Both of you should test.
If you each do not have multiple buddies that can test with you, you can find info on test sites and people willing to test with you in the Want to Test your iSight With Another Person?FAQ.
Then, the person who needs to trouble shoot further can try the suggestions in Using iSight with iChat AV.
You and any chat partners also using 10.4.2 can try the additional suggestions for Help for iChat AV 3 Problems.

Re: Pages persistent failure to respond

For the past week I have been experiencing a huge problem with Pages, the program fails to respond; at times numerous pages docs are "open" in the dock at the bottom of the screen, but when I click on them to access them, after displaying on the main screen they remain unusable as the widget whirls endlessly, other times Pages is even less responsive, namely no "open" docs even appear in the dock.
There are no viruses or worms, all other programs are responding normally, only Pages is capput!

Peter, thank you for your helpfulness and expertise. I apologize for not including the necessary system info. with my request: OS X Version 10.8.4 (12E55); MacBook Pro, Early 2011; Pages '09 Version 4.3 (1048); Apple programs were up to date; I manually updated Intego Virus Barrier X6 software (which is set to automatically update) after experiencing the protracted problems, then updated to VirusBarrier 2013; I also did a full system scan after updating.
I have not had the extreme problem today and have been going into documents to remove fonts and links that may be problematic, taking smallest steps first. Prior to this Mac, I only had used PCs and consequently am a long way behind the curve.
I don't know whether the problem is resolved yet, but if everything is working ok within a week's time, I will check off "This solved my question."
Thanks again,
Brad

Printer - Failure to Respond

When I put the hard drive to sleep and then reactivate it, the printer does not respond.
Note the following:
If the computer has been asleep for a relatively short time, the problem does not occur.
The problem only arose recently. I have made no recent changes to the OS or the printer driver.
I am using the latest driver available.
If I restart the computer, the printer connection is restored.
Can anyone tell me what's going on?
iMac5,1 Mac OS X (10.4.9)

No, however when the computer gets any sort of update like Firmware, Software, OS etc, it may change the way the components behave. Also, 10.4.9 originally caused a booting up error much like 10.4.4 (I believe it was that one). Anyway, it could be that I'd have a look at the Knowledge Base on the Support page of Apple.com. They'll have something listed if it is a known bug.
Good Luck,
Brian

Failure to respond, part II

Hi,
I'm having the same problem as njneb; i.e., when I try to connect to someone else I get "failed to respond". Text works fine. I was able to connect once to my mom, but only once. After that, I "failed to passs data for 10 seconds". My brother-in-law can connect to others, but not to me (we both have new core duos).
I have tried opening up my ports, resetting my router, etc., but I just don't seem to know enough to fix this. Please help me.
I'm running a westell DSL modem into a Belkin 4 port router and then into airport express. Perhaps I only know enough to screw this up...
TIA

iMac Core Duo Mac OS X (10.4.5)

Hi romeowhisky,
Welcome To The Apple Discussion Pages.
I'm running a Westell DSL modem into a Belkin 4 port router and then into airport express. Perhaps I only know enough to screw this up
This should be set up with one device being a DHCP server if you have not set Stica IP addresses
If none of the devices can do UPnP and you have to use port Forwarding or Port Triggering , this should also be done only once on your local network.
Go to System Preferences > Network > Airport > Tcp/IP tab
This panel should tell you, just under the tabs at the drop down next to Configure IPv4, whether you are getting an IP via DHCP or Manually (Statically)
Under that is the IP the computer is using.
If it says DHCP and the IP is 10.0.1.xxx and the "router" IP further down says 10.0.1.1 then the Airport is doing DHCP.
Next you have to use Airport Admin Utility from the Applications/Utilities folder and Log on to the Airport and go to the Interent tab.
This will tell you if you are getting a(nother) DHCP giving address from the Westell.
The Network tab and Deselecting Distributing Addresses is how the Airports own DHCP server off.
This page may list your Westell and following the links will lead you to Port Forwading instructions.
You do not actually need the port Forwarding instructions themselves but it will have the Default IP to access the Westell in a web browser and the deault User ID and Password so you can actually check the settings.
Post back what you find.

Failure to Respond

I'm trying to set up iChatAV and iSight for the first time with a PC user. We are both on AOL and can send IM messages. However, when either one of us invites the other to a video conference and we respond "accept", it tells us that the connection has failed due the other party not responding.
Please help.....in a simplified way.
thanks.
Kathy

Hi Kathy,
As has been said the PC end needs AIM 5.9 (Not Triton or the AIM 6 beta).
Another Option is Trillian on the PC, although the Pro version at $25 is needed to video chat.
Whichever app is used the thing has to be let through the XP firewall. Before Service Pack 2 this means disabling the XP firewall. At Service Pack 2 they have the option of Allowing Exceptions and that is done like this (you can use this for Any non Microsoft app by substituting the app name).
Scrolling to the top of that same link tells much of what is here.
As can be seen it also tells them to Enable UPnP if their modem is using that to open ports.
(UPnP is a method of controlling your modem from the applications/computer that opens the port when you need them. On most devices it is an On/Off setting).
This leads us to the Modem.
It either need to have the ports opened specifically or to Use UPnP to allow it to happen.
This site, http://portforward.com/routers.htm lists many devices that can be configured to open ports.
You click on the Modem name and then in the next page click on the App in question (In this case AIM Video for the PC end) . It will then tell you how to access the device with it's default setting and how to open the ports.
Both ends should test against the Test accounts in Table 1 http://www.ralphjohnsuk.dsl.pipex.com/ContactTesters.html and possibly Real People in Table 2
Other than my page 12 there is also this site http://www.mvldesign.com/videoconferencetutorial.html to help with the set up.
One further note on the AIM 5.9 app. It needs to be Tuned to the Microphone and Camera (and each time they are unplugged) Instructions for that are here These instructions were written for AIM 5.5 and now the Preferences/Properties are accessed from the AIM Buddy List menu items. The real info starts at message #570
Summary:
XP and AIM 5.9 (or Trillian)
Enable the app as an Exception or disable the Firewall.
Tune the app to Mic and Cam.
Test.
<hr>
At the Mac end similar things need to be done.
IF the Mac Firewall is On then ports need to be set there.
See the second pic http://www.ralphjohnsuk.dsl.pipex.com/page4.html
These ports or UPnP needs to be set in your device. Use the Port Forward site to see how to access your Device and then check the menus for UPnP.
If you don't have UPnP then you can resort to Port Forwarding.
NOTE: Often the last entry for the ichat ports listed there is wrong due to a typo. It should be port 5678 on UDP as a single port line and a new line for the group of 20 ports also on UDP.

Restore failure - not responding

my ipod mini dowloaded restore info, the final step as shows on the screen is to plug it into the wall... which i did and nothing changes! plugged in (tried 3 different wall sockets) and the 'plug into wall' diagram still shows on screen. tried resetting twice, no luck... help!

hi ombre!
hmmm. do you have access to a different AC Adapter? it's plausible that the one you have at the moment might be sick (rather than the ipod).
love, b

Ichat "failure to respond"

I've had an IMac Intel since January and I neve rbeen able to use the IChat Video or Audio. The ISight Cam works fine with yahoo messenger but I have problems with IChat Aim and AOL.
I have a Westell and Verizon as a ISP. I made the changes to my firewall ports as reccomended on the portforward website. I checked th error log under the connection doctor and I have a long list of error messages that state "Chat ended with error "
Should I have be using my external IP address when I add the ports in the router?

Hi Tehuti5404,
Welcome to the Apple Discussions
The current Ports listed on PortFrowrd.com are wrong.
They should be these

Why is Safari failing to work on more and more websites?

From unresponsive form boxes, to failure to respond to search requests, to working with 1Password extension, the Apple browser has stopped being effective and unresponsive on more and more websites.
I switch to Firefox and all is well. What gives?

From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences ▹ Extensions
Turn all extensions OFF and test. If the problem is resolved, turn extensions back ON and then disable them one or a few at a time until you find the culprit.
If you wish, you may be able to salvage the errant extension by uninstalling and reinstalling it. Its settings will revert to their defaults. If the extension still causes a problem, remove it permanently or refer to its developer for support.

Aperture 2 not responding

Aperture 2 keeps reporting that it is not responding. This usually happens after it has been running for a while and I am making adjustments other than the most basic. The CPU is maxing out and fans start to run full blast and the spinning ball last as much as 20 seconds.
If say I grab the monochrome red slider and slide backwards and forwards it will move smoothly and the screen will update quickly and all is well. However things go wrong if I move the slider slightly, let go and then move again and maybe once more, the whole not responding, fans and spinning ball start off.
I have generate previews turned off. I cannot believe a 15" Intel MBP 2.16, 3G RAM is not good enough to run this. There must be a problem with Aperture. All other programs run perfectly, Lightroom, CS3 etc. Any ideas please.
http://idisk.mac.com/ianrmatthews-Public?view=web

Yes this is happening to me on both my Mac's. I'm running an MBP C2D and an iMac 2.16 GHz...It's depressing because I love Aperture's workflow; but I don't love the terrible system slow-downs. Yesterday I got the spinning beachball and full fans for 30 minutes (I left my MBP on my desk and went out on a quick errand, hoping that it would have finished whatever it was doing). The system locked up completely after I got back (I think it's bitter-sweet that in two years, the only application that has ever caused my apple computer to completely lock-up...is an apple software product). I
'd hoped that with 2.0 they would have improved the performance problems, but it looks like Aperture is still an overly resource-intensive dog. Until the developpers can reign in the performance issues and "truly" bring this bad boy up to speed, I'm going to have to stick to Lightroom—which ***** because Adobe's outrageous prices p!$$ me off

Troubleshooting power supply failures

I'm branching out this thread as a continuation of <http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2418851> since the topic has evolved and the subject is no longer accurate.
I have a 2.1GHz iMac G5 (iSight) that does not boot reliably and sometimes goes into deep sleep and can't be awakened. I have ruled out software and RAM issues, leaving power supply and logic board as the likely suspects. I'm leaning towards the power supply. I'd like more info on the symptoms of power supply failures and see if my symptoms are consistent with it.
*Reasons to believe it's the power supply:*
• symptoms are consistent with the computer not getting enough power.
• it's a more common failure.
• Computer has 4+ years of continuous usage.
• the left side of the vent had been warm lately (that fan pushes air over the HD then the PSU)
*Reasons to believe it's the power supply:*
• visual inspection showed no damaged capacitors (although there could be hidden damage)
• in my previous experience with power failures, the Mac shut down completely, not half way.
*Reasons to believe it's the logic board:*
• problem triggered by adding RAM (although that's not the only trigger and removing the RAM didn't • instantly solve the issue. Timing may have been a coincidence)
*Reasons to believe it's not the logic board:*
• It passed all the Apple hardware and Techtool Pro tests.
