Not able to start any outside contact with iChat : please help !

Hello there,
I will try to cut my long story short : I am from Belgium and presently in Kosovo for a several months mission over there. I was really looking forward to use Apple iChat to stay in contact with my family and kids back home .... but it's not working !
I know there are other solutions eventually but anyway I'd like to understand what's the problem with iChat.
I came first with my Powerbook G4 1,5 Ghz + 1,2 Gb RAM + IceCam + OS 10.4 and "old" iChat on it : not working at all : it would keep saying "not enough bandwidth" for every sort of connection attempts (video, audio only) only text chat was working. I had read that there were lots of problems with this version, so I purchased LEOPARD to have the newest version available and upgraded my internet connection here in Kosovo to a 8 Mbps one !
Unfortunately I crashed my computer with the upgrade process ... anyway, the "advantage" is that I start now from a "clean" copy of Leopard and iChat .... but it isn't working neither ?
Now the message is slightly different though.
You see it's "trying" to get through (takes a little more time to issue the error message ....?) and it states now "connection closed because didn't get any answer for 10 seconds" (I translate the message because my system is in french in fact).
I have copied the details of the error message but can you tell me which part is important, not to paste 3 pages of unuseful text to this post maybe ?
It would be very kind of you if you could help me figure this out because I cannot think of a reason why "we" shouldn't get this to work, right ?
Furthermore, it would help a poor Mac user to stay in touch with his family "back home" !
Thanks in advance.

This is a "paste" of one of the error logs : they basically all say the same thing I guess.
If needed (following a suggestion for example) I could try to come in contact with the support helpline of the company (although it's Kosovo ....) to try to "fix" or answer any technical question you should have without any other mean for an answer than "ask" ....
By the way, my wife "at the other side" in Belgium is behind my PowerMac G5 dualcore with same configuration (Leopard, latest iChat etc.).

    You cannot sync Outlook 2011 directly with an iPhone, but if you go to the Tools menu and choose Sync Services, you can have Outlook sync with iCal and Address Book, which will then sync with the iPhone. And if your business is using Microsoft Exchange, you can set the iPhone up to communicate and sync directly with the Exchange server.

  • Since the upgrade on io6 on my iPad 3 n iphone4 I'm not able to do any face time with my family in India from Uk using Wifi, they keep trying me from india but it says connection lost and when I try it rings but there is no ring on their end.

    Since I updated both my apple products to Io6 I'm not able to do any face time over wifi with my family in india from the UK. My family in india had io5 in their iPad 2  and it was working perfectly fine until the io6 was installed . Can you please let me know if this is a common issue with io6. Thanks

    1. You did not get an error message telling you that your iPhoto library was getting full. You got a message telling you that your HD was getting full, right?
    OS X needs about 10 gigs of hard drive space for normal OS operations - things like virtual memory, temporary files and so on.
    Without this space your Mac will slow down as the OS hunts for space on the disk, files will be fragmented, also slowing things down, apps will crash and the risk of data corruption - that is damage to your files, photos, music - increases exponentially.
    Your first priority is to make more space on that HD. Nothing else can be done until you do.
    Purchase an external HD and move your Photos and Music to it. Both iPhoto and iTunes can run perfectly well with the Library on an external disk.
    Your Library has been damaged from being run on an overfull disk.
    How much free space on it now?

    If you aren't trying to open applications over the network and $DISPLAY is always :0 it is a strange problem for sure.
    yes it's localhost
    $ cat /etc/hostname
    localhost
    and no, I just open the applications normally as always did before without any problem, is it as after some "thing" happens the applications cannot detect any X server running but the X is indeed running.
    I notice however that I'm on tty1 with the graphic, and normally I remember running on tty7 , maybe have something to do with it?

  • Not able to change to PC SUITE MODE..Please Help

    Hi!
    Yesterday, i had brought a E90 communicator and wanted to sync it my laptop but however i am not able to, because when i am connecting the phone to the USB, my phone asks me to connect via pc suite or file mode. I choose Pc Suite Mode everytime but somehow on my laptop its says i am connected via non compatible mode i.e file manager mode. I have updated PC SUITE to v 6.83..but still no resort to the problem, please help.. I am using windows Vista..
    i have also tried uninstalling all nokia softwares and re installing, hard reset my phone.but no outcome..any genius?
    Thanks..

    Hi nishantjairath
    Unfortunatley if you try to un-install PCSuite 6.83 rel_14.1 the core application uninstalls but cable driver portion doesn't!
    You perhaps need to go to microsoft.com and download Windows Installer Cleanip Utility "msicuu2.exe"
    Go to Start > Programs > Windows Installer Cleanup Utility
    When you run this it looks a bit like the add/remove program window. Now select "Nokia Connectivity Cable Driver" and "PC Connectivity Solution" programs.
    Now go back to Add/Remove Programs in Control Panel and try and remove "Nokia Connectivity Cable Driver" and the "PC Connectivity Solution" programs. They should now uninstall.
    Reboot your PC

    Try a Restart.
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
    Resetting your settings
    You can also try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered. You won't lose any data, but it takes time to enter all of the settings again.
    Resetting your device
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Apple recommends this only if you are unable to restart it.
    Or if this doesn't work and nobody else on the blog doesn't have a better idea you can contact Apple.
    Here is a link to their contacts with most of the information below.

  • I want to delete my current exchange account. How can I achieve this and not lose stored information such as contacts, photos etc. please help. Thank you.

    I want to delete my current exchange account and replace it with my new one. How can I achieve this and not lose my contacts, photos, etc associated with this account? Please help..
    Thank you,

    Bad idea.
    What information do you want to share, exactly?  You can share contacts, reminders, and calendars with other iCloud users without the need for both of you to use the same iCloud account.  You can authorize both phones to use apps purchased under the same Apple ID without sharing an iCloud account.
    Sharing an iCloud account is a bad idea in general. There is too much opportunity for someone to damage or delete data that will affect both.

  • 3G AT&T air cards not working with iChat, Please Help!!!

    We have a macbook air, a black macbook and a macbook pro running 10.5.2. We can do audio and video conferencing with the local network with either airport or ethernet with the regular internet service provider. When we switch to the air cards (AirCard 875 USB) they can connect and chat but when they try to do video conferencing an error comes up saying that, well, en error had occurred. switching back to the local network, and all works fine. I'm sure we're not the only people using these cards using iChat so if anybody has come across this or similar issues please comment on this, thank you.

    That was the older post. at this point we can forget about firewalls and airport. this is all thru the air cards. mentioning the local network (which does not have a firewall) was to point out that iChat seems to work fine and it's not a software issue in the computer end of it. Unless we can go into the aircard's settings and open ports there... if that makes any sense?

    Hi there @Delta0  and welcome to the community!
    I understand you can scan however, you cannot open up the PDF file afterwards.
    Please let me know which operating system you are running and I will certainly look into this issue for you.
    Which Windows Operating System am I running?
    Mac OS X: How Do I Find Which Mac OS X Version Is on My Computer?
    In the meantime, try updating Adobe to see if that helps.
