Problem after sending a picture in ichat

this just recently started happening. whenever i send a picture, or someone sends me a picture, ichat sort of freezes up for like 20 sec. the little line cursor still blinks, but if i type nothing will show up. but if i do type and hit enter, when everything unfreezes again, the message will be sent. do you guys have any idea on whats going on here.

Hi,
Normal Text chats are handled on Port 5190 on the TCP protocol
When you send the first pic in a Chat (or a file of any sort) it moves to the UDP Protocol (on port 5190 still) and the Chat gets the little Grey Message "Direct Chat Started"
What is happening apart from the Protocol change is that the chat is becoming Peer-To-Peer and not going through the AIM servers.
This can take a moment to sort if the AIM servers are busy.
Also some modems and routers particularly if you are using Port Forwarding to open ports (but not exclusively) - do not like the fact port 5190 is used for the two Protocols.
For this reason we suggest that in iChat Menu > Preferences > Accounts > Server Settings you change the Login port to 443 (you have to Log out of AIM first and log back in again afterwards).
Also make sure that in System Preferences > Quicktime > Streaming you have the speed set to 1.5Mbps
iChat reads this speed to control what Bandwidth it can use.
The Automatic setting is seen as zero in iChat 3 and only 384 k in Leopard/iChat 4
This will effect Video chats more than Text chats and File Sending but will play a part.

  • Problems with sending/receiving picture messages

    Does anyone know how to sort problems with sending/receiving picture messages on the iphone 4S?  I've gone through all the re-setting etc at the place I bought it and it still doesn't work!! Spoken to 02 and they said it's an issue with Apple software?? Any help appreciated.

    Can you send/receive SMS's? If so, and you can't send/receive MMS's, and MMS is turned on in Settings, 99.9% of the time the problem is on your carrier's end...most likely MMS is not provisioned properly on your account, regardless of what your carrier is telling you. Call back & have them remove MMS from your account & then re-provision your account for MMS.

  • Kopete: strange encoding problem after sending cyrillic letters

    I'm currently having a strange problem with kopete. If the message sent contains german umlauts like "äöü" the receiver only sees cyrillic letters "дць".
    The problem occurred after sending a text from a website containing a russian sentence.
    If I send german umlauts and cyrillic letters in the same message all letters are displayed correctly on the receivers side. For example "дць äöü".
    The global encoding for the corresponding icq identity is set to "windows-1252". I already tried other encodings like "utf8" but that didn't work (same result).
    Additionally I tried to set the encoding for the specific user which by default is set to "predefined". Again the same result.
    Finally I deleted kopeterc and kopete.notifyrc (from .kde4/share/config/) and history etc from .kde4/share/apps/kopete and reconfigured kopete with the icq account but again with the same effect.
    Does anybody know where kopete or kde is saving the wrong encoding settings or is there anything else I can try?

    The problem is gone. Kopete suddenly was working again after copying and pasting a text from a website and sending it to one of my contacts.

  • IPhone 5 crashed after sending a picture by airdrop

    Today I got my shinny new iPhone 5S so I wanted to test the Airdrop feature.
    A friend on a iPhone 5 with iOS7.0.2 send me a picture via Airdrop.
    It arrived on my iPhone 5S immediately. Wawo.. excellent.
    Unfortunately the iPhone 5 then immediately crashed returning to a black screen with white Apple logo.
    A minute later it started working again.
    So much for progress.
    My mate then immediately turned off Airdrop and probably will never use it again.
    So much for progress.
    Any comment or fix from Apple would be much appreciated.

    Samehappy me thinghappened to me after air dropping a video to someone's 5s.   I'm on a 5s running 7.1.2.   I believe my phone actually rebooted twice after the send was complete!  Not happy with airdrop

    Do you have Settings > Messages > MMS Messaging set to "On"?
    Are you all set up with your cellular carrier to use MMS Messaging?

  • Overflow Error After Sending Data

    Dear Expert,
    I have a problem, After sending the data, I receive error "ExecuteBaseLogic::Error in RunLogicAgainstSelection: Overflow"
    Please let me know if somebody have idea to fix the problem.
    This the captured screen:
    ==================================================

    Thanks,
    Ruswandi

    Hi Ruswandi,
    Do you have a logic that is being called in the Default logic? The Default logic runs every time you send data, try to comment out those logic one by one and then send data again to see which is causing the overflow problem.
    Hope this helps,
    MVS

    Anyone having problem with iphone getting a not delivered message after sending pic and it really is getting delivered to recipient.

    Same problem here with and I've done everything shy of a total reset which I also find unacceptable. This problem exists on all iMessage platforms (iPhone, iPad, and Mac) so I don't see how restoring my iPhone would help the problem.

  • Cannot send some pictures from IPhoto '08 using ichat

    For some reason I cannot send some pictures in my library over ichat or yahoo messenger? any ideas what happen? never had this problem before

    Hi,
    If this is in iChat 4 first check that the Pics you are trying to Send are "Owned" by you.
    Find the Pic and click on it to highlight.
    Use the APple key and i together (Get info)
    In the panel near the Bottom see if in Owner and Permissions you are the Owner.

  • I can not send my Note through email and it used to work. The same problem to send picture from iPhone message

    Can't send Notes through email and it used to work. The same problem of sending picture from iPhone message. Did the reset twice but still not working

    Try a reset:
    Hold the Sleep and Home button down for about 10 second until you see the Apple logo.

  • Has anyone else had the problem where Siri on iOS 6 locks the phone after sending a text using a Bluetooth headset.   I have the auto lock turned off but I have had it happen many times.

    Siri is locking  my iPhone 5 running ios6 after sending a text message using my Jawbone icon HD Bluetooth earpiece.  Sometimes it will lock before the text is even sent. I have the auto lock turned off.

    I have this problem too. Auto lock is off and Siri can be used from the lock screen but this defeats the purpose of hands free usage for example when you are on a bicycle and can't use the phone normally. After sending a message or a reply to one Siri locks the phone and you cannot hear new messages until you unlock the phone which can be potentially dangerous!
    I'd love to see if there is a solution as I can't see any option in settings (either Siri settings or pass lock settings) to fix this.
