New problem with iChat

Good morn
I still haven resoved my previous post about connection problems with iChat, but hope to do that when I visit my dad next month. Thanks for all the advice anyway.
A new problem has emerged, and seemed to coincide with the install of Tiger 10.3 last week. Now when I try to connect to various tests sites, I get an "insufficient bandwidth" error.
Is this likely to be a problem with Tiger, as I have not changed my isp, settings or broadband type?
Or could it just be the exess load on the system over the Christmas period with all those naughty teenage boys downloading **** and playing games during the school hols?
Any suggestions and/or fixes greatfully accepted.
Thanks
Tim R

Problems with iChat 4.0.2 / Leopard / BT HomeHub

I have a .Mac account and iChat 4 on a iMac running Leopard 10.5.2 and using A BT Home Hub for my internet connection. I am able to have a video chat with my wife who has a Powerbook / Leopard / iChat 4 set up in our house, both using the BT Home Hub. But when I try to set up a video chat with my friend in Copenhagen who has a .Mac account and a Powerbook running Leopard it won't let us connect. It will let us have a text only chat.
I have read various posts on this subject and changed the firewall to let iChat in, changed the Quicktime streaming to 1.5 Mbps and changed the port in iChat server settings to 443.
Has anyone else any ideas, I am thinking maybe the Home Hub is the problem as i can connect to my wife's Powerbook on our home network.

I too am having problems with iChat 4.02 on an iMac running Leopard 10.5.2 as are numerous people having different hardware/software configurations. I've tried some of the suggestions like changing the server settings to 443, and changing the firewall to let iChat in. I believe somewhere, somehow Apple or AOL have changed something that may be causing these problems. I'm not technical enough to go changing a bunch of things and hope it works.
iChat was working for me about a week or so ago using AIM. I could video chat with a MacBook running 10.5.2, a MacBook Pro running Tiger and a Dell PC. Last night when I tried using AIM and iChat i could only text. However, I could video chat using our dotmac accounts and server settings 5190. But for some reason you aren't able to do that.
At first I thought it was because I stumbled into using CUPS to get my Xerox color laser printer finally working (after getting the new iMac) by changing localhost:631 to find my printer at port 9100 (whatever all of this means). But deleting the printer didn't restore iChat.
Someone on this forum suggested that installing Safari 3.1.1 may have somehow caused the problem. Maybe they are on to something!
My most recent software updates are:
2008-04-08 15:27:20 -0400: Installed "AirPort Utility" (5.3.1)
2008-04-08 15:27:24 -0400: Installed "Digital Camera RAW Compatibility Update" (2.0)
2008-04-08 15:27:48 -0400: Installed "QuickTime" (7.4.5)
2008-04-08 15:28:32 -0400: Installed "iTunes" (7.6.2)
2008-04-08 15:30:25 -0400: Installed "GarageBand ’08 Instruments and Apple Loops" (1.0)
2008-04-08 15:30:40 -0400: Installed "Time Machine and AirPort Updates" (1.0)
2008-04-08 15:30:45 -0400: Installed "Keynote Update" (4.0.3)

2008-04-08 15:31:30 -0400: Installed "Security Update 2008-002" (1.1)
2008-04-08 15:31:47 -0400: Installed "Safari" (3.1)
2008-04-16 17:47:07 -0400: Installed "iMac EFI Firmware Update" (1.3)
2008-04-16 17:47:09 -0400: Installed "Aluminum Keyboard Firmware Update" (1.0)
2008-04-16 17:47:26 -0400: Installed "Safari" (3.1.1)
2008-04-23 19:31:31 -0400: Installed "iMac EFI Firmware Update" (1.3)
At the moment I need my printer working, more than I need iChat. But I do hope someone figures out why this isn't working!

Problem with iChat changing my custom away message after 30 minutes

Lately, I've been having a big problem with iChat changing any custom away message that I put up to "Away" after 30 minutes or so. Is there anything I can do to make it stop? Another issue I'm having is that sometimes when people on my buddy list change their away message, it doesn't show up on iChat unless I go offline and then sign back on. Any idea why it's doing that, and what I can do to get it to stop?
Thanks.
- Danielle
G3 iMac Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Hi ienjoyanime,
Go to the General Section of iChat Preferences.
Does it say you are set to Go to Away when you log off/QUit iChat ?
is the computer going to Sleep at this point ?

Two new problems with the Quicktime Plug-in

I recently discovered two new problems with the current Quicktime Plug-in for Mac OS X.
First, the Quicktime Plug-in is unable to stream Quicktime media in any internet browsers other than Safari.
There is just nothing on the spot where the embedded Quicktime player should be.
Second, the Quicktime Plug-in only shows the message "The operation couldn't be completed. This file is not a movie file (-2048)"
everytime it should work together with the Flip4Mac Plug-in. The thing is, when facing a webpage where a wmv or wma file is
embedded, there only shows that error message on the spot where the player should exist. I first thought that it would be a
problem with Flip4Mac. So I uploaded about this problem on telestream.net, only to hear that the error message above belongs
to the Quicktime Plug-in.
Both of these problems did not happen at all only three weeks ago. The embedded Quicktime player showed up without any problem
in my Firefox and Opera, and wmv or wma files were streamed successfully through the Flip4Mac and Quicktime Plug-ins.
Then, suddenly, after some point, these two problems began to occur, and there is no information on how to solve them on the web.
I obviously tried uninstalling and reinstalling Quicktime. I even completely erased the hard disk of my Macbook, and reinstalled the
whole Mac OS X. But the problems still remained. I borrowed another Macbook from my friend to check whether these problems
occur in other computers, and they did occur in my friend's Macbook as well. So they are definitely not the matter of my own Macbook only.
I think these might be the problems with the new Quicktime Plug-in 7.7.1.
Please check about these problems and solve them on the next version of the Quicktime Plug-in.
I will give you a couple of hyperlinks so that you can check about the problems directly.

↑ This link is for the second problem (the error message showing up on the spot where a wmv or wma file should be streamed)
p.s: I am sorry that I am Korean.

I recommend that you repeat all this via

to make sure that Apple will see it.

New problems with Acrobat 11.03 for Mac

I'm having new problems with my Adobe Acrobat 11.03 for Mac. These issues are relatively new and did not occur when I first bought the product about 9 months ago.
1) When scanning documents from an HP scanner into Adobe on my Mac, the scanning works fine, but a multi-page document (scanned as one) is saved as a separate PDF for each page. Bothersome to then have to combine all those separate files into one doc. I can do it, just don't think I should have to take the time.
2) Occasionally, when working in Adobe, the menu bar at the top will disappear when I click on the Adobe icon or a previously saved PDF. Very frustrating. Can't make a note or save the document without knowing the shortcuts, as the menu has disappeared. Once I click somewhere outside Adobe, the menu bar reappears for the other programs. This happens over and over.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

Hey JeffSPHR,
Please refer this KB doc link mentioned below and try troubleshooting scanner issues:

Let me know if this helps.

Anubha

Problem with ichat, error message says computer does not support video chat

I have never had a problem with Ichat until yesterday...now apparently I don't have the video capability. I am running 10.7.2. I turned off Facetime. I now have the video camera image but it won't let me video chat. Any ideas?

Hi,
In iChat open the Connection Doctor (Video menu) and the the Capabilities option
Are all items showing Green ?
Try restarting iChat (It re-reads the computers Ability at each launch)
If that does not work try restarting the Computer.
Make sure that in iChat menu > Preference > Video Section the Bandwidth Limit is not set to 100kbps (this is too Low for 1-1 video chats)
Do a Speed test
"Real World" speeds need at least 256kbps both up and down.
Check the System Profiler is "seeing" the camera.
It will be in Hardware > USB

Internet problems with iChat

Hi,
i opened the Ports 1024-65584 for iChat in my router's configuration two days ago. And now i have problems with my internet connection.
The connection is available, obviously, but I can't use iChat. Everytime I open iChat I can't open websites any more, without an error message.
When I close iChat and restart my MacBook everything's fine, until I open iChat again ...
I'm using DHCP in the network configuration, that can't be the reason for my problem because it worked for month (with my old iBook an my new MacBook). And it still works with my iBook, but not with the MacBook.
I hope you understand my problem and my german english:)

I seems that the problem has been in the router configuration …

New problem with display on Macbook Pro retina (Samsung panel)

Hello All,
I am a very new people on your forum but a few weeks ago i bought a new macbook pro retina with samsung panel.
I haven't ghosting effect on my macbook but i have a new and really bad problem.
I try to found a some information on Russians forums but nobody can help me with it.
I can see an artifacts in the form of flashing pixels on all display.
It occurs in 20-30 minutes after the start of work.
Today i try to test it on game Dirt 2 and i can see defects after 2 minutes after start. So i think it can be reason with Geforce 650 but when i back to desktop and use HD 4000 i still see a problem.
This is best seen on a black screen with high backlight.
When i try to connect TV via HDMI i can't see any problem in my TV.
So i really don't know what could be the reason.
I attached the video with issue to video hosting
http://vimple.ru/579f880e8b7045e09f8fc5bc097c5e2b
Also i have a many software problem like Crashing safari and iTunes. It can be a few times per day.
I really disappointed with my new Macbook.
I haven't any problem with old 2009 Macbook pro with Snow Leopard but Mountain Lion is not working well.

Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

New problem with camera and imovie 08

i have two questions already posted about my camera not being found by imovie 08 except that it did it the first time and wouldn't any time after that.
well here's the new problem. as i'm sitting here trying to find some other post that could help me with my dilemna imovie opens and shows my impost screen but says "communication error". with my first joy and imovie working again came confusion about this error. the error makes it so i cannot import video because the next "error" that comes up says my camera is disconnected or off but even this is farther than i've gotten in weeks. i don't know what this error means and i still can't import video. anyone have any suggestions as to how to fix this?

Hi
Test another FW-Cable.
Test Your Camera on another Mac so that DV-in still works OK
Toogle in iMovie pref: Play-back via Camera (on<->off some times)
Other ways to import Your miniDV tape:
Use another Camera. There where tape play-back stations from SONY
but they costed about 2-4 times a normal miniDV Camera.
If Your Camera works on another Mac. Make an iMovie movie project here and move it
over to Your Mac via an external hard disk.
(HAS TO BE Mac OS Exchange formatted - USB/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange WILL NOT DO)
(Should be a FireWire one - USB/USB2 performs badly)
What Camcorder ?
FireWire - Sure not using the accompany USB-Cable but bought a 4-pin to 6-pin FW one ?
Using WHAT ? :
• Mac OS - X.5.4 ?
• QuickTime version ? (This is the heart in both iMovie and FinalCut)
• iMovie 8 (7.1.?) ?
• iMovie HD 6 (6.0.4/3) ?
Free space on internal (start-up) hard disk ? (Others don't count)
Does Your Camera work on another Mac ?
Sorry to say it is to easy to turn the 6-pin end of the FW-cable 180 deg wrong.
This is lethal to the A/D-chip in the Camera = needs an expensive repair.
(Hard to find out - else than import/export to another Mac ceased to work
everything else is OK eg recording and playback to TV)
Delete iMovie pref file may help sometimes. I rather start a new account, log into
this and have a re-try.
from LKN 1935:
Hi Bengt W, I tried it all, but nothing worked. Your answer has been helpfull insofar as all the different trials led to the conclusion that there was something wrong with my iMovie software. I therefore threw everything away and reinstalled iMovie from the HD. After that the exportation of DV videos (there has not been any problem with HDV videos) to my Sony camcorders worked properly as it did before. Thank you. LKN 1935
from Karsten:
in addition to Bengt's excellent '9 yards of advice' ..
camera set to 'Play' , not rec/computer/etc.?
camera not on battery, but power-line?
did your Mac 'recognize' this camera before...?
a technical check:
connect camera, on, playback, fw-connected...
click on the Blue Apple, upper left of your screen ..
choose 'About../More..
under Firewire.. what do you read..?
Yours Bengt W

New Problems with IPod nano - crackle and clicking

Hi,
I got the IPod nano (2GB) a view weeks ago. I haven't changed anything - only copied mp3 songs and photos on it.
Today suddenly during jogging the nano starts to crackle and click - like an old analog tape. This didn't stop any more even after a lot of resets. I have connected my IPod with USB-2 onto my computer and recharged the accu completely. After disconnecting properly the problem is still the same. Also the buttons and the wheel don't work correctly anymore. Has anybody similar experiences? It seems apple has big trouble and problems with this new product. Maybe the IPod nano isn't fully well-engineered jet.
I am looking forward for your help and suggestions.
Thanks in advance!
Your Stephan

Hi Mike,
and what did you do finally?
Did you bring the Ipod back to
your dealer for an exchange?
My IPod didn't get wet during
jogging I have carefully kept an
eye on it.
Is this a general problem with the IPod
or only with some units?
Thanks
Stephan

I am facing a new problem with xml schema, plz help me

Hi @,
I am facing a problem with xml schema validation. Below is my code.
public void initialize(String cfgFileName) {
try {
try {
DOMParserWrapper parser = (DOMParserWrapper)Class.forName("dom.wrappers.DOMParser").newInstance();
parser.setFeature( "http://apache.org/xml/features/dom/defer-node-expansion",true );
parser.setFeature( "http://xml.org/sax/features/validation",true);
parser.setFeature( "http://xml.org/sax/features/namespaces",true );
parser.setFeature( "http://apache.org/xml/features/validation/schema",true );
parser.setFeature( "http://apache.org/xml/features/validation/schema-full-checking",true );
Document document = parser.parse(cfgFileName);
System.out.println("Vijay .. code .. damar\n");
}catch (org.xml.sax.SAXParseException spe) {
} catch (org.xml.sax.SAXNotRecognizedException ex ){
} catch (org.xml.sax.SAXNotSupportedException ex ){
} catch (org.xml.sax.SAXException se) {
if (se.getException() != null)
se.getException().printStackTrace(System.err);
else
se.printStackTrace(System.err);
}catch (Exception e) {
System.out.println("Caught unknown exception : \n");
e.printStackTrace(System.err);
System.out.println("Vijay .. code .. success\n");
DocumentBuilderFactory docBuilderFactory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
DocumentBuilder docBuilder = docBuilderFactory.newDocumentBuilder();
//docBuilder.setErrorHandler(myErrorHandler);
cfg = docBuilder.parse(new File(cfgFileName));
cfg .getDocumentElement ().normalize ();
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
In the above code I am parsing the xml file and i am doing schema validation. Schema validation is proper and it is validating correctly. Only problem is that, It is validating and showing error correctly correctly but it is not catching that error.
For clear understanding I am printing one statement before parsing and after parsing.
SYSTEM.OUT.PRINTLN("Vijay .. code .. damar\n") this is before parsing
SYSTEM.OUT.PRINTLN("Vijay .. code .. success\n") this is after parsing
Here what is happening means, It is validating correctly and showing error :
[Error] nw_layout-new.xml:800:97: Datatype error: Value 'y' does not match regular expression facet 'yes|no'..
Vijay .. code .. damar
Vijay .. code .. success
Here it is showing error and still continueing not catching.
Plz give solution for this.
Thanks

New Problem with Premiere Elements 8-Blue overlay over video

I'm still trying to begin using the trial version of Premiere Elements and have a new problem. When I add video files to the project, they are displayed with a blue coating over the whole video when it is played, or in many cases it is just black with no video. If I click in the screen, I see
the stopped video as it shoiuld be (clear), but as soon as I start playing the video, then nothing works. I hear the audio but the video is either black or has a blue overlay making it difficult to even see what is on the screen. I've tried changing to software rendering during playback with no help. The program is unusable as it is. I also have problems adding files to the project when I try to add from files and folders. I can't select multiple files and when I try to add one at a time, the 2nd file replaces the first instead of being added. I installed using the compatibility options in Win 7 because the application is listed as being incomaptible (even though Adobe claims it is Win 7 compatible.) I would really love to have this program work. Any suggestions. I have a fairly powerful computer except for the graphics being Intel integrated rather than a separate card.

To answer my own question, disabling "Enable GPU" seems to eliminate the blue overlay. I found a reference to it on a page that previously was not available.

Help! Having problem with ichat/video

Hello
Last week i bought a macbook and love it. Yesterday i was playing around with the camera and using the video effects ( changing the way i could look). Then a blue screen flashed then it would happen again few min later. Today, it happend again, but then a minute later it froze and quit ichat by itself. Whats the problem? Its weird, its just a random blue flash ( the whole macbook screen doesnt flash just the camera box.
Heres what i do::: log onto to ichat, click on Video preview, then click on show video effetcs. So when im looking at the camera it flashes blue. then it would freeze then quit along with ichat.

Were you rapidly changing the effects?

New problem with QT Pro, stopped recognizing .mpg sound files (Muxed)

Have been playing .mpg & .mpeg files just fine with QT Pro. Today I can only get video, no sound output, and the video 'freeze frames' while the progress bar cursor continues to track. This is with ALL .mpg and .mpeg files. Sound is apparently there because the graphic sound visual is active. The freeze frame will start again by clicking the mouse button, or double strike of the spacebar (pause/unpause) but stops again later. All the files play normally in MPlayer. MOV files play fine for both sound and video with QT Pro. No improvement with re-installing QT Pro (new download). FirstAid - no problems. Currently running new version of Disk Warrior over entire disk but don't expect much improvement.

That may be a problem with the timecode. Try to fix that with the timecode correction menu item. May not work but this is a freeware:Mpeg StreamClip
