Now I see you, Now i don't.....

My sister upgraded to Leopard on her iMac(c2d) to Leopard yesterday. Earlier in the day we were able to do video chats with a number of people. However, since that moment, we've experienced weird behavior for video chats. Basically in her window she won't see her image(the small one), and I don't see her at all. We've tested this out with a number of other iChat accounts and get the same results. Btw, all machines that are chatting with her are using Leopard and all other forms/capabilities work: screen sharing, sharing of pictures, audio chats.
Anyone out there have similar problems after upgrading from Tiger to Leopard?

Hi Stacymac,
You are right that is a totally different problem.

It is not the only one as the problem you describe actually falls into serveral subsets.

  • Now i see it, now i don't

    as per my previous question, i installed an 80GB harddrive in my G3 tower. i then erased the original 4GB harddrive and had intentions of using it as simple storage. it order to do this easily, i unplugged the cd drive (not the power, the other cable), connected the old harddrive and erased it, all was well. when i adheard the 4GB drive in place, and reattacted the cd drive, i no longer see the 4GB drive. whenever i unplug the cd drive i am able to see the harddrive, what the heck is going on?! (i also have a floppy drive in the computer, both drives need to stay)

    You didn't indicate the type of beige G3 that you have - desktop or mini-tower. If the latter, you can easily connect two hard drives in a master/slave configuration to the same ribbon cable if:
    (1) The ROM version is $77D45F1 (Rev. B) or $77D45F2 (Rev. C). Using the Apple System Profiler, scroll down to Production information, and the ROM version will be listed. If it's $77D40F2, you have a Rev. A ROM that doesn't support dual drives on a single ATA channel.
    (2) The two drives are configured correctly, with one being "master" and the other "slave." This is done with small jumpers, that plug into the drive's configuration pins in a specific manner, which varies from one manufacturer to another.
    You undoubtedly left the 4 GB drive with its factory-configuration of master. If it's connected to the same ribbon cable as the new hard drive or the optical drive, only one device can be set as master and one as slave. The CD-ROM drive is factory-configured as master, so if the 4 GB drive is connected to the same ribbon cable, then change its configuration to "slave." With both set as master, the hard drive will not be recognized when the optical drive is connected. When the optical drive is disconnected, the hard drive will be recognized. Hopefully, you have connected/disconnected the drives with the computer powered OFF.
    If you have the desktop G3, remove the hard drive from the floor-mounted position and install both hard drives in the two bays, beside the optical drive. This would involve eliminating the Zip drive, if your G3 has one. There is no feasible way to connect two hard drives to the same ATA channel, with one mounted on the chassis floor and the other in the upper drive bay. The physical separation between the two drives and the cable length needed to connect both of them, causes too much data corruption.

  • Now i see 'em, now i don't?

    i imported some photos and as I am scrolling i can see the but if I stop the
    thumbnails disappear - replaced by an empty square - the image number is
    still there too. if I click full screen all the photos appear at the top in
    thumbnail version but will not appear in the large viewing area.
    ugh . . can you advise?
    Thank you"

    Don't be afraid to try the rebuild again. If it fails though, you probably have a damaged datbase file:
    Try these in order - from best option on down...
    1. Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.
    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 back.
    3. If neither of these work then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
    To create and populate a new library:
    Note this will give you a working library with the same Events and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
    In the iPhoto Preferences -> Events Uncheck the box at 'Imported Items from the Finder'
    Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
    Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
    Go into the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Event Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
    When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
    In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.

  • Using spotlight, I was able to see where a document of folder was located. Now, I see a image of the document but have no idea where it is located.  Is this a setting I change? I really don't need to see or open the docs and folders, I just need to locate

    Using an older operating system, when I used spotlight for a serch I was able to see where the document or folder is located.
    Now, I see an image thats nice, but I must open it it find out where it is stored.  Perhaps this is a setting change?  
    I search not always to open, but just to see where like files are stored.

    Ok sorry. Yes it doesn't anymore but I think you can right click on the entry in the SL search and select either Get Info or Open in Finder and then it will display the location of that file. I don't use spotlight as I think it is @^%$&. I use Easyfind.
    Apple doesn't think the user needs to know the path of their files so they removed that feature of spotlight.

  • Ever since I updated my Mac to Maverick it has become exceedingly slow everywhere. Also annoying, when I go into Applications to open something, it now automatically opens 3 things I don't need. What can I do to fix this?

    Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks without erasing drive
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks
    OS X Mavericks- Reinstall OS X
    OS X Mountain Lion- Reinstall OS X
    OS X Lion- Reinstall Mac OS X
         Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet
                     if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

  • Upgraded to 10.6.1.7 as prompted and now cannot see any music purchased since March 23, 2012.  How can I get these back?

    Upgraded to 10.6.1.7 as prompted and now cannot see any music purchased since March 23, 2012.  How can I get these back?
    The error message says it cannot find the file but it exists as it was transferred to my ipod.
    Thanks.

    Ack! We don't need that much.
    What you posted looks like the iTunes Library.xml file  I will let you read about how iTunes works but not only is the .xml not your main library it is just the listing of tracks in your library and where the music files should be located.  Your music is actually in media files (by the way, it is pointless to zip those as they are already compressed).  Anyway, read these and you will see that your true library file (iTunes Library.itl) is only a small, but still important, part of a complete library.
    What are the iTunes library files? - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1660
    More on iTunes library files and what they do - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ITunes#Media_management
    What are all those iTunes files? - http://www.macworld.com/article/139974/2009/04/itunes_files.html
    Where are my iTunes files located? - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1391
    As you can see, a library has several components, so "getting it back" depends upon what is missing, what it was you actually backed up in the end, if any of this music was purchased from the iTunes Store, etc.

  • Installed Security Update 2013-003 & now cannot see video

    Installed Security Update 2013-003 & now cannot see video.
    Snow Leopard.
    Corrected problem by updating Adobe Flash~ even though I just updated it two days ago~ but that solved the problem.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Security Update 2013-003 is available for Snow Leopard, Lion and Mountain Lion. You can download the Snow Leopard version > http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1670
    You don't have enough space to install the update, so you have to delete things from the hard drive or move them to an external drive. See > http://thexlab.com/faqs/freeingspace.html

  • My husband shares my Apple ID  but now I see that this causes problems so how can I take him off my account so he can get his own  Apple ID ?

    My husband shares my Apple ID but now I see that this causes problems.   So how can he get his own Apple ID for his device?

    I agree that having separate Apple IDs is a good idea. It helps keep things from getting confused between two user who might have different needs and wants on their devices.
    You husband should save and backup to a computer all the files, photos and music that he wants to keep. He should also save any files created with the apps on his device. Once that is done he can use the Settings app to erase his device.
    Settings > General > Reset > Erase all Content and Settings
    He can then set up his device as new and create an Apple ID for himself. Once the device is up and running he can purchase and/or download the apps he wants and sync with a computer to restore the photos, files, etc.
    To make syncing easier, with two Apple IDs, I suggest that you each use a different computer to sync with OR you have separate accounts on one computer. This way there will be two separate iTunes libraries and syncing with each will be straightforward.

  • HT201363 my ipad went on update and now asking for passcode which i don't know

    my ipad went on update and now asking for passcode whcih i don't know what should i do now to start operating

    Hey sunny1008,
    Thanks for the question. The following article provides some solutions if you are having issues with passcode lock:
    iOS: Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong passcode
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212
    If you have never synced your device with iTunes, or you do not have access to a computer
    If you see one of following alerts, you need to erase the device:
    "iTunes could not connect to the [device] because it is locked with a passcode. You must enter your passcode on the [device] before it can be used with iTunes."
    "You haven't chosen to have [device] trust this computer"
    If you have Find My iPhone enabled, you can use Remote Wipe to erase the contents of your device. If you have been using iCloud to back up, you may be able to restore the most recent backup to reset the passcode after the device has been erased.
    Alternatively, place the device in recovery mode and restore it to erase the device:
    1. Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
    2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to shut down.
    3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
    4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen.
    5. iTunes will alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then restore the device.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

    My friend loggen in with his instagram account on my phone then logged off, now i see his instagram notifications on my lock screen , what can i do about this problem ?(

    I am very happy to report that my server connection tech, which I called via landline, informed me to : 1. Open Tools 2. Scan down to Clear Recent History 3. Delete All. That was it! Unbelievable! Six hours of searching through the Windows catagories. I checked the results on an internet site, and viola! It was gone! Mozilla Firefox seems to remember the usernames and passwords irregardless of the option window that asks if you if want it to remember the user and password. I finally got in touch with my friend and he said he did not answer yes to the window, even though he was aware of it. No damage. I surely do appreciate everyones' concern in this, now what seems to be, a very simple solution. Cudos to Firefox! Thank-you! P.S. I now have to enter my information at the beginning of any password protected sites...no harm done! My friend is now condemned to the 'user account' site! lol...

  • HT1459 I tried to restore my daughters ipod and it has a download on the itunes. I tried to open the download and that did not work. Her ipod is still disabled after the 5 hour download. What should I do now? Thank you. Sam

    My daughters iPod is now disabled because of my youngest daughter trying to get on it while away. I tried to restore it as per instructions via support site. It took 5 hours to do the download. I left it over night and in the morning I found the iPod still disabled. I have a download on iTunes so I tried to click on that and it won't open. I have to admit, I am not a computer wizz here. Could someone possible direct me to what I should do now? Thank you.

    Error 1604
    This error is often related to USB timing. Try changing USB ports, using a different dock connector to USB cable, and other available USB troubleshooting steps (troubleshooting USB connections. If you are using a dock, bypass it and connect directly to the white Apple USB dock connector cable. If the issue persists on a known-good computer, the device may need service.
    If the issue is not resolved by USB isolation troubleshooting, and another computer is not available, try these steps to resolve the issue:
    Connect the device to iTunes, confirm that the device is in Recovery Mode. If it's not in Recovery Mode,put it into Recovery Mode.
    Restore and wait for the error.
    When prompted, click OK.
    Close and reopen iTunes while the device remains connected.
    The device should now be recognized in Recovery Mode again.
    Try to restore again.
    If the steps above do not resolve the issue, try restoring using a known-good USB cable, computer, and network connection.
    Error 1600, 1601, 1602
    Follow the steps listed above for Error 1604. This error may also be resolved by disabling, deactivating, or uninstalling third-party security, antivirus, and firewall software. See steps in this article for details on troubleshooting security software.
