Ralph... here's another one for you

I've had this problem where I can talk to Craig, Craig can talk to Joe but I can't talk to Joe.
I've now fixed it so I can ANSWER an invitation from Joe and chat fine.
However, if I call HIM, he sees the invite, tries to accept, then basically locks up,
having to restart iChat completely.
He's on a wireless router in his home, from a DSL connection.
I went to his Mac firewall and opened all the 5000 ports, etc. and the 1024 - etc. ports.
This seemed to make the difference in my being able to accept. I tried turning off his firewall completely and it's still no go.
I'm still stumped. I talk with everyone I contact, all over the place. What's the problem with this one person?
Thanks!

Hi Rick,
If the ports are open with Port Forwarding or Port Triggering it can be a NAT consistency problem.
This app will tell you if this is the problem http://bleu.west.spy.net/~dustin/projects/natcheck.xtp
The solution can be as simple as using UPnP if it is an option on the router or modems.
This mirror of my site has some options to try various things regarding this
http://homepage.mac.com/ralphjohnsuk1/skidoo/page15.html#CertainBuddy
There is a bottom line on this and that is to try a different modem/router.

So? It's saying you didn't implement mouseDragged, which you agreed to do when you said it implements MouseMotionListener. So implement it.
Rather than making your applet implement the mouse interfaces, you could create inner classes that do, and then make those inner classes subclass MouseAdapter and MouseMotionAdapter.
You'd end up with smaller, tighter code.

Another one for you...now the typing is off

Hi again all,
I am using CS4, and I have made my circle. Still haven't completely figued out the eyedropper thing, but I worked around.
Now I want to type around the circle, but when I click in the shape, it just makes a big text box the size of the circle. I still can't seem to get the text to go around my circle.
I must be missing something...Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Cherie

You hover your type tool icon over the path you made with the ellipse tool. Click when the type tool icon changes into an i with a wavy slash. See below.
Above shows a screen capture of a section of a circular path with the type tool on the shape path (above) and within the shape path (below). You want the icon to look like the upper example.

How can I manage several ID on my computer, one for my iPhone and another one for the iPad of the family?

Hi everybody
Just have bought an ipad2 and i would like to manage several IDs on my computer (i.e keep my iPhone ID and create another one for the ipad to manage apps for my iPhone (4) and the apps for the iPad).
How can I resetup the iPad to create that new ID on itunes?
Thanks for your help
Jp

If you have separate iTunes accounts for the two devices then you'll need to buy 2 copies of any app that you want on both device - you can't copy or move apps from one account to another (they are tied to the account that bought/downloaded them). If you want to reset the iPad then logout of the account on it (Settings > Store and tap the id on the right-hand side) and then Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content And Settings will reset it back to factory defaults.
You may want to consider one of three options mentioned on this page http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1495

I have multiple apple devices mainly used between me and my wife , my question is that can i have two sets of contacts backed up to icloud one for her devices and one for my devices using the same itunes account

i have two sets of devices one ipad, iphone and mac which i use and one iphone ipad and mac which my wife uses
now is it possible to have two sets of contacts and calendar synchronised for her devices and one for my devices using the same icloud account
i dont want a separate itunes account as we use the same music books and apps to be automatically downloaded which is very convenient
please guide

You can set up different iCloud accounts on each device using different Apple IDs (to keep your mail, calendars, contacts, etc. separated), and still share the same iTunes account (in Settings>Store on your device). There is no requirement that you use the same Apple ID for purchases and for iCloud.

I would like to cancel all itune charges on my credit card there is one for 4.99 and .99 now I see another one for 7.95 as of March 16 Please cancel all of them. I didn't charge them.

Do what Roger says above.
Do you have 'in-app' purchases enabled on an iPhone/iPad or other device that kids or other family members use ? That could be the issue.
If not change your iTunes Store password to try to prevent whatever is doing this making further charges.
Also if you can't find the cause, talk to your cc company.

How to cancle the previous apple ID and creat another one for the same ipad mini

Please advise how to cancle the previous apple ID and creat another one for the same ipad mini.
Thank you.

You can log out of an account (you can't 'cancel' an account) by tapping on it in Settings > iTunes & App Store - any content that you downloaded with that account will remain tied to that account. You can then create a new account via the Create New Apple ID button on that screen. If you don't want to give credit card details then follow the instructions on this page when creating the new account : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534

I have keynotes in my ipad and iphone, do I need to buy another one for my mac

Yes. They are not interchangeable. Different hardware platforms and different operating systems.

Can you change a package to another one for free?

I want to know if you can change a packa to a differnt one for free. If not for free can you change it.

You can upgrade for free, but you have to start a new contract at the time of upgrade.

I have an original iphone which i have had very little, if any problems. I updated to the 2.0.2 software that came out recently and everything was once again going fine. Here's where it gets interesting.
Two days ago, the bottom row of icons (phone, mail, safari, ipod) stopped responding. All of the other icons on both screen pages work fine. The "slide to unlock" works fine. I have noticed when I go to settings, the bottom icon doesn't respond in any screen either. Luckily, I can still use the phone through contacts and can still receive calls, but with no luck using the "end call" button.
I've read several of the posts in these discussions and have tried the reset, hard reset, restore, reinstall of 2.0.2. I know I'm not crazy, these icons don't work! Anyone out there ever had this happen or have any suggestions?

I would suggest an appointment at the Genius Bar and see what they can do for you.

Here's a tough one for you.....

Does anyone have knowledge of whether or not it is possible to start a LabVIEW program (run when opened), bring it to the front and display it full screen, and then shutdown certain windows components behind it such as explorer, and ther various services, so that it remains running the VI but opens up as much system resources for LabVIEW as possible?
I would like to start a VI and isolate it from the rest of the windows environment if possible (obviously not things like max, etc. though).
Thanks,
Jonathan

You could try making your VI the shell application, but I'm not sure whether it will completely take over window, or just replace explorer (probably the latter).
You could also try some of Ben's suggestions here for improving performance.

Been having nothing but problems with idvd 08 in the past couple of days. The old won't open problem. Did the usual suggested fixes including a new user account. Also did "Old Toad's" preference fix. Can now open idvd but when I go to an existing project and open it, I get the first page menus and nothing else so try to reload the movie into the project and it kicks it back out(??).
Do I need to re-install idvd 08 and if so, what prefs etc do I delete?
Also one other question . . . if I have a project that exceeds the 4.2 capacity, can I burn it on a dual layer using the dual layer setting to accommodate the size of the file?
thanks in advance for any input

so try to reload the movie into the project and it kicks it back out(??).
Check to see if the movie you wish to import is supported by iDVD. This is from Help:
_Video and image formats that work with iDVD_
You can use these movie and graphic formats in iDVD:
◼
Most video or image files supported by QuickTime (see the list of unsupported QuickTime formats below)
◼
16:9 widescreen formats
◼
AAC, MP3, and AIFF audio files
◼
Any format from iMovie: DV, high-definition video (HDV), MPEG-2 SD, MPEG-2 SD, MPEG-4 SD, MPEG-4 HD, and AVCHD
High definition video is converted to work with the format of your project. iDVD supports using 16:9 widescreen video; therefore, when your DVD plays on a DVD player that supports widescreen format, the footage appears in its original aspect ratio.
The following video and image formats are not supported in iDVD:
◼
Copyrighted or protected videos.
◼
Movies saved in thousands of colors using the “none” compression setting in iMovie.
◼
48-bit color images (16 bits per color). To use source files in one of these formats in iDVD, save them in a supported format.
◼
Aurora uncompressed files. For best results, export Aurora clips as DV-format video before importing them into iDVD.
◼
QuickTime VR, MPEG-1 or MPEG-2, Flash, streaming or encrypted movies, or QuickTime spanned movies. You can’t add MPEG-1 or MPEG-2 files to an iDVD project because they don’t contain standard video tracks.
◼
QuickTime Fast Start movies. (Fast Start movies are intended for Internet playback.) When saving a QuickTime movie for use with iDVD, click the Options button in the QuickTime Export dialog and make sure that the “Prepare for Internet Streaming” checkbox is not selected.

Ok here is a good one for you all

So here is the problem.
We use PPTP VPN for our Exe's at my company and most of them are using airbooks or power books now.
They also use the ATT USB Mercury/ATT USB lighting cards for in emergency no network connection while traveling.
10.5 - all works great no issues ... ATT cards VPN no issues
10.6 - ATT cards work fine to get to the internet but as soon as you fire up the vpn connection and get connected to the vpn all traffic stops no internet and no intranet access. ( we send all traffic over the PPTP connections )
Both are connected and with out errors .. sometimes if you wait 30 minutes it all starts working , disconnect and re try nada.
I have upgraded firmware in the ATT cards , using the new 3Gwatcher application provided by sierra wireless and still nothing.
The PPTP works fine form home wireless , hotels , hot-spots seems to be related to the att cards form all the troubleshooting I am doing
Anyone have any thoughts - i did send a support ticket into sierra for some help to but I figured maybe you guys have seen this and no a fix or solution

I have no expertise with VPN, but here are some links that may help you. Two of them are related to Cisco VPN which may or may not be relevant to you, but you did not mention whether you were using Cisco VPN.
