Problem connecting iChat client 10.6 (Snow Leopard) to iChat server (Lion)

Hi guys,
I'm fairly new to the Lion server, but it's all working fine with my Lion client(s) so far 
However, my wife's best friend's MacBook is still running Snow Leopard ( and she is not willing to upgrade her MacBook as of now due to severak reasons) and I'm trying to connect her iChat client from Snow Leopard to the iChat server running on my Lion server.
If I try to set up the account manually in the iChat client, I can't find an option for Mac OS X Lion server and trying a work around with the Jabber account settings didn't work either (on the server's log: credentials failed). Then, I tried to create a profile on the server and downloaded it to the Snow Leopard system, but it wasn't recognised (in System Settings, there is no Profile option ).
So, can someone please, please, please give me any idea about it or is it simply not possible to connect a an older iChat client (5.0.3, Snow Leopard) to the latest version of the iChat server (Lion) ??
Again, any idea is very appreciated!
Many tx in advance.
Cheers
Kai

Hi there,
A simple suggestion , please make sure both MacBook Pro clock and the server clock are the same meaning the hour/Min/ sec both should match. A least difference of 3 seconds is fine.
I had faced this problem in many place and only solution was to match the time and it will bind immediatly.

  • Finally got my Globe Trotter Connect Rocket Stick to work Snow Leopard

    On Sept 29th at 10:00 pm I wrote this email to Rogers.
    Please pass on this very important information. The Rogers download for icon 322 from your site for Globe Trotter Connect does not work with Snow Leopard. Snow Leopard is 10.6 version . Recommend download for Snow Leopard by Rogers is 10.4, icon 322. Which is for Leopard and Tiger so this is the wrong download for Snow Leopard. Believe me when i tell you that i have devoted 10 hours to figuring out what the problem is. I have worked with Technical Support at Rogers, Apple Care Specialist and Options Tech Department. Here is how I finally fixed the problem. Please share this information with your Tech Support Department. Customers calling in with the same problem. They should go to the ATT website. ATT has the version 10.6 which is the right download for Snow Leopard and it listed in red on the left hand side of their site. Once customer has removed the wrong application for Globe Trotter then downloaded the 10.6 version for Snow Leopard (off the ATT website) then instruct your customers to go to Globe Trotter Preferences. Under roaming then enter the following: Under 3G/EDGE/GPRS change to read APN: internet.com. username: wapuser1 Password:wap. IMPORTANT do not press reset, or it will not work. Just ask customer to close that window. Now the Globetrotter will initialize and ask to connect. After a few seconds internet will now work on Rogers Network. Hope you use this information and hopefully Rogers will install the link that ATT has onto their site and save everyone a lot of valuable time.
    Regards,
    Colleen Williamson

    Here is the right link. look on the left hand side in it will read New (in red) GT connect for 10.4 10.5 10.6- (10.6- is the right version for Snow Leopard)
    http://support.option.com/att/i
    Then simply go to Globe Trotter/ Preferences. then change the settings to Rogers. ie type in under APN: Internet.com etc.
    Gt2go. good luck.

  • Problems with AppleScript Editor.app in Snow Leopard

    I have been using the Satimage.osax scripting addition with Script Editor.app in Leopard without problem. After I upgraded to Snow Leopard, the Script Editor.app was replaced by AppleScript Editor.app in which the following one-line script
    change "," into "." in "3,1416"
    compiles without error but it gives an error when I try to run it: as if AppleScript Editor.app was not able to load the ScriptingAdditions (despite the fact that it correctly shows the dictionary for the Satimage.osax scripting addition).
    When I decided to get back the old "Script Editor.app" and use it in Snow Leopard to run the above script, I found... no error! It ran correctly.
    Anybody observed similar problems with the AppleScript Editor.app and ScriptingAdditions?
    Can anybody offer a solution other than trash the new AppleScript Editor.app and stick to the old Script Editor.app?

    Post to the AppleScript forum under OS X Technologies and send a message to Satimage.

    Problem
    High running Temperature
    Specification
    iMac 27 inch
    Mac OS X  Includes Software Snow Leopard upgraded to Mountain Lion  OS X 10.8.03 (1278)
    251 GB Flash Drive
    2 TB  Sata disk
    Processor 3.4 Ghz Intel Core I7
    Memory 16 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
    Graphics AMD Radeon HD 6970 2048 MB
    Video: Software Final Cut Pro X  10.0.8
    I use the imac mainly for editing Video which when doing so it has reached temperatures of near to 60° C which causes the program to become unstable and needs to be cooled down to operate correctly.
    An Apple technician (by phone) advised me to download an smcfancontrol.  This allows each individual fan to increase speed and also advises the current temperature at °C.  The smcfancontrol has been downloaded but this has not resolved the problem.  By increasing the speed of the fan more heat is generated and creates additional noise. 
    I have since taken the iMac to an Apple Store for examination as suggested by APPLECARE when the fans were found to be working correctly.  An Apple Store technician carried out a test, but not whilst working under the pressure of FINAL CUT PRO when the iMac generates a high temperature.
    The Temperature Specification  for this model is
    Operating Temperature 20 °c to 35°C
    Storage Temp.47°c
    Clearly the temperature my iMac  is operating at is excessive and could cause the computer to break down prematurely.  Has anyone experienced this problem.

    When was the last time you cleaned/vacuumed out all of your iMac's vents, slots and ports.
    You need to do this with the iMac powered down, disconnected from power and everything disconnected.
    Lay your iMac, screen down, on a soft surface, like a heavy towel. Use a small electronics vac, or portable or full size vac with hose and a crevice tool attachment and carefully and slowly vacuum every vent, slot and port on your iMac.
    Then reconnect everything up, power up and download and install iStat Pro. Start working, then report the temps of your iMac after this has been done.
    When using SMCFan Control, it is important not to run the fans at too high an RPM. This doesn't generate heat on its own, but will suck in more dust, lint and dirt into your iMac, and that will be the cause of additonal increases in heat.
    I run my fans in the range of 1400-1600 RPMs. You can go as high as 1800 RPMs but it is important to keep the RPM range below either 1800 or below 2000 RPMs.
    I, also, run a very small desktop fan pointed toward the upper back of my iMac to keep temps down even further.

  • Anyone else having major problems with Safari 5.1 on Snow Leopard?

    is anyone else having major problems with Safari 5.1 on Snow Leopard?
    - address bar and search box are not resizing with browser window. the address bar and seach box set their size to the window when Safari is launched and remain that size.
    - anytime i try to customize toolbar items disappear and i have to restart Safari to get them to appear.
    - some 3rd party icons just remove themselves from the toolbar after a period of time
    - when i drag a page from the tab bar to create it's own browser window the window disappears but is listed in the windows menu bar. when i select that window from the menu bar the window appears but i can't click on anything.
    I've repaired permissions numerous times, reinstalled safari numerous times and restarted my machine numerous times and the issues all remain. i've never had any issues with Safari until now and 5.1 is looking like a huge mess.
    besides the bugs above, has anyone had any luck with 1password working with Safari 5.1?

    ok, i narrowed most of my issues down to Web Snapper and Videobox by TastyApps. Removed both of those and now everything works better.
    I went out to lunch and came back an hour later and magically ALL of my previous toolbar icons that were added to my previous version of Safari appeared. Very strange.
    as for 1password, it wasn't working at all before when i posted. everytime i tried installing the extension via the app my, Safari would open a window and hang (never load). I just tried it again and it seems to now be working.

    Updated from Leopard to Snow Leopard, then upgraded to Lion, now my system is freezing on startup. Can anyone help?

    Try a Safe Boot: Restart holding down the shift key until you (hopefully) see a grey progress bar. Once booted restart as normal from the Apple menu. Any change?
    How much RAM do you have installed?

  • Really need Snow Leopard on my new lion mac mini

    Any chance of being to install Snow Leopard via bootcamp in Lion?
    I can't use some programes anymore.

    Depending on the model, you may or may not be able to install and run it on a second partition or external drive. If you're willing to pay for a copy of Mac OS X Server 10.6, you can run it in emulation through a product such as VirtualBox.
    Boot Camp is for setting up Windows. The Disk Utility can create a partition for other purposes.

    Well Lion does not support power PC applications.  They only way is to upgrade the application, or if your have SL disks, reinstall SL.

  • HT6012 I had an older version of Mac OS, I upgraded to Snow leopard and then OSx Lion, most of my software has been upgraded except for Imovie.  Now I can't get my projects to upload or share to iDVD or iTunes.  What do I do?

    I had an older version of Mac OS, I upgraded to Snow leopard and then OSx Lion, most of my software has been upgraded except for Imovie.  Now I can't get my projects to upload or share to iDVD or iTunes.   Also to compound the situation everytime I attempt to share to iDVD or iTunes, iMovie quits unexpectedly.    What do I do?

    If you want to sync it to the iPad from that Mac, you need to upgrade it to at least 10.5.8.
    If you want to copy the music to another Mac, you don't. Move the iTunes folder of the item in the Finder's sidebar over as you would any other folder. If you put it somewhere other than the Music folder, launch iTunes with the Option key held down and point it to that location.

  • I want to go back to Snow Leopard 10.6 from Lion. Quicken 2007 is not compatible with Lion.

    Downgrade Lion to Snow Leopard
    1.  Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button.  When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
    2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area.  If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing.  SMART info will not be reported  on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
    4. Quit DU and return to the installer. Install Snow Leopard.
    This will erase the whole drive so be sure to backup your files if you don't have a backup already. If you have performed a TM backup using Lion be aware that you cannot restore from that backup in Snow Leopard (see below.) I suggest you make a separate backup using Carbon Copy Cloner 3.4.1.
    If you have Snow Leopard Time Machine backups, do a full system restore per #14 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions.  If you have subsequent backups from Lion, you can restore newer items selectively, via the "Star Wars" display, per #15 there, but be careful; some Snow Leopard apps may not work with the Lion files.

  • My mac originally snow leopard I upgraded to lion and want to sell it with Lion

    My mac originally snow leopard I upgraded to Lion and want to sell it with Lion ,can I do this?

    In order to install Mac OS X 10.7 you will need:
    Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
    2GB of RAM
    Mac OS X 10.6.6 or later with the Mac App Store installed
    At least 4GB of additional disk space to accommodate the download, but more is obviously recommended.

  • HT5048 Snow leopard to os x lion upgrade

    I upgraded from snow leopard to OS x lion 10.7 few weeks back. Ever since then I am facing issues with iTunes, Chrome, software update and other applications. I wanted to upgrade to 10.7.3 however even I am unable to do that. Has anyone faced issue?

    There is no good reason to do so actually.
    A machine that can only go to 10.7 and not directly to 10.8 is just better off remaining on 10.6.8 for performance and running older PPC based software.
    In fact I suggest any Intel Mac that's older than 3 years (especially out of AppleCare) to remain on the speedy 10.6.8
    Eventually hardware will die and one can buy the newest machine with the newest operating system in one package, along with all new software etc.
    Apple is maintaining support for 10.6.8 because of AppStore, as it can be used as a attack vector if it's not updated I assume.
