Sending Files to Certain People Boots Me Off iChat!

I'm having a strange problem...
Some people I can send files to no problem, but to others...it'll get about halfway done, then just hang...and I'll eventually be logged out of iChat.
Anyone have this problem and/or have a fix?

Hi
Try this log on to AIM on port 443 rather than port 5190
Go to IChat > Preferences > Accounts.
Log out of AIM and then use the Server Settings tab
Set the port to 443.
Log back in again.

    i'm still looking for solution, but if i there is no solution so i will throw My Own iPhone 4S in the nearest Trash.
    (I had got a big problem and thanks for Nokia saved me. and if i don't care about apple products i will never send to you this, so kindly find solution or people in middle east will stop using iphone)

    No clue why you cannot make video calls over your cellular operator... have you tried contacting them?
    If you're referring to FaceTime, it is currently limited to Wi-Fi only.
    Sending files via Bluetooth is not a supported feature of the iPhone or iOS.  A simple search of the web or these forums would have made that abundantly clear.
    Threatening to throw away valuable items in these forums only serves to make you look less than intelligent.  No one here is an Apple employee, we are all users like yourself.  As such, we could care less what you do.  If you choose to be stupid, that's up to you.
    Educate yourself and stop whining.

  • I cant send text to certain people

    Recently my phone is acting up. I an iphone 4 unlocked with gevey sim running 4.3.5 and 4.10.01 unlocked for tmobile and all of the sudden it wont let me send texts to certain people and i cant recieve texts from them either. The sending bar will load to 90% and then it stoped with 10% left and says error. I try to resend but it doesnt work. I googled it and i deleted my conversation with the person, reset the phone, deleted then re-added the contact but it still doesnt work. But yet i am able to call them. I have not tried to restore it because it says i have to update the iphone if i want to restore it which i can do. So i need any ideas on what to do.

    Bad signal in the area?

  • Suddenly today, my iPhone won't send pictures to certain people...has worked fine until today.

    Suddenly today, my iPhone won't send pictures to certain people...has worked fine until today.  Sends fine to some but not to others.  What's up?

    Like any electronic item, it sometimes gets inexplicably balled up. The reset is no different than rebooting a computer that is acting hinky. If you don't have to do it often, then it is not anythign to worry about. (I know - not the kind of tech talk you were probably expecting, but the words selected are about as scientific as you can get concerning this type of weirdness....)

  • I can't send Messages to certain people, but I can reply to their Messages

    Hello,
    I have an unlocked AT&T iPhone 4, currently using it with Telenor in Sweden. Everything works fine except for the Messages application.
    When I try to send a message to my Swedish contacts, sometimes they receive it and other times they don't.
    But where it gets weird is that if they send me a message, it will open a new "conversation" and I can reply in that new "conversation".
    Also, sometimes, if they have iPhones with iMessage, when I send them a text, the bubble will stay green and it says it is being sent as a text message. But when they contact me, the bubbles are blue and it says it's an iMessage.
    This also only happens with certain people, regardless of which kind of phone they have! It also never happens with my American contacts who have iMessage.
    Anyone else experience something similar? I have no clue why this could be.
    Thanks!

    Hi Jake,
    Can you flesh this out a bit ?
    Mac to Mac / MAc to PC ?
    Applications used ?
    Method used ? In Text chats ? Dropping on Buddies name ?
    Just after adding Buddy or after restart ?

  • Can't send texts to certain people after switching phones.

    I just switched from my old iPhone 4S to a iPhone 5S as part of my family's upgrade plan (this is through Sprint). Since restoring my phone from my backup saved on my laptop here, I've noticed an issue regarding my texting. I can text other iPhone users just fine via iMessaging. Other non-iPhone users, however, most notably my girlfriend and coworkers, are a different story. I very frequently have to resend messages to them or the message will send out extremely slowly. The "loading bar" at the top will progress to roughly 90% then just stop and idle for about 30-45 seconds, then give me an error or (rarely) send the text out. I've never had any issues like this on my 4S regardless of signal strength and have tried everything. Turning the phone off/on, toggling iMessage, etc., but none of it seems to work and I'm getting increasingly frustrated with this problem and would like some suggestions or help for fixing this as soon as possible.

  • Sending SMS to certain people

    My husband just got a Blackberry Curve w/ Nextel & I have a Rant w/ Sprint.  I can send him text messages and he will recieve them, however if he responds or tries to send me a SMS message it will show on his phone that it was sent (has the green checkmark next to it), but I never receive it.  He can also send & receive messages to & from other people who are not nextel and they receive them.  BTW, I send & receive from all types of carriers including Nextel w/ no problems. Any ideas?

    Welcme to the Frums!
    He can Try removing your battery. Replace after 30 seconds - allowing your phone to reboot
    I would also call the carrier

  • My iphone 4s will not send messages to certain people?

    I picked up my new iphone 4s at the weekend, since i turned the phone i found some people where ''ignoring me'. People who have rang my new number have said it says ''no number'' and ''not regonised''. Some of my messages haven't been recieved by my friends, and likewise i have not recived theirs. Would really appreicate some help? Really disapointed that my brand new Iphone 4s can't do a simple function as SMS messaging.

    If it isn't sending to non-iPhone users go to Settings>Messages and turn Send AS SMS to On.  If it isn't just non-iPhone users then the problem could be with your carrier or theirs, and you'll have to follow up with them to investigate it.

  • Why i can't send iMessage to certain people even they are registered the iMessage account already?

    i have no idea why it show that my friend is not registered with iMessage even i have chat with him a few times before... :s

    HI,
    My personal view on this is that the iMessages account has too few alert messages in this regard.
    You seem to get that messages whether the person has never registered, has turned Off that registration or is out of range of Cell Phone and/or Wifi coverage.
    i.e. there seems to be only one Alert messages not matter what the issue is at that moment in time.
    NOTES.
    Removing an Apple ID from an iPhone gets an alert Messages you will not be able to use the Name/ID anywhere - implying it will be removed from Messages on the Mac (I have not evidence that this happens).
    What I have not tested is whether you can still iMessage that Name/ID  (iMessaging "yourself" at this point is not actually a fair test as in from the Mac using that same Apple ID).

  • Cannot send files from phone to Satellite L755-16z using BT

    Hi, experts :)
    I'm gonna get straight to the point !
    I've got a toshiba satallite L755-16z since a month or so (New, with windows 7 64-bit)
    and its is known that it has BT and I guess its 3.0
    So I tried to connect the bluetooth with my phone & it paired just fine !
    but when I try to send files from and to my phone, it says (connecting) but doesn't manage to send it in the end. furthermore, this problem isn't only with my phone as I've tried sending and recieving to & from another phone, but still same problem !
    HOWEVER, I tried to turn the BT adapter off (right click on bluetooth Icon in notification area then turn adapter off), then starting the (bluetooth monitor) application, and sending files & IT WORKS !!
    But this happens only for one time right after restarting bluetooth, so everytime I have to send files, I have to turn BT off then turn it on ?!!!
    This is kind of Unacceptable !
    I tried Toshiba Bluetooth Stack, and it had the same problem. Also, I didn't like the way it worked (style and everything) ... so I uninstalled it & returned to the original BT version in pc.
    I've searched for answers with no luck & now I'm desperate for the answer !
    Plz anyone who knows how to solve this issue, help me Plz ??!
    If my email is needed : [[email protected]]

    ok I tried to turn it off with fn + f8 ... wlan turns off with it too, that's natural, I know :)
    then I turned it on & I recieved a file from phone just fine ... that only worked ONE time !
    after that, sending/recieving files won't work ... on my phone it says ( cannot connect ) .... same thing when I restart bt monitor manually !!
    Also, I have tried going to ( C:\Program Files (x86)\TOSHIBA\Bluetooth Monitor ) folder
    there are other bt monitors like (btmon2) and (btmon64) but both of them are have same problem but has more time of activity !
    the problem itself isn't that its on or off ...
    it is on and it appears in the notification area ... but only works for only a short period of time ...
    or for (btmon2) I can say it works right after starting it ... then works for a while when its active (sending files or recieving files) ... but after a while with no activity (no sending/recieving) It Stops Working :(
    How can I fix the problem ???
    Mr. Tonny ? Anyone ??

  • Send File Error

    I am not sure if it is just me and my computer but that's why I am asking. Does anyone else have a problem with sending files (lock documents) over the send file option on iChat? I have never successfully sent a file to another iChat or any IM account. I can set two computers side by side and try to send a file from one to the other and I always get an error after it trys to start up and attempts to send it, it always comes back with error and does not send. Anyone know what I might be doing wrong or how to fix it? Thanks

    Hi tas81685,
    There are two main ways to send files.
    Ading to the TExt line in a Text chat and by Dropping them on a Buddy's name is the Buddy List.
    Have you tried both these ?
    As Defcom says with some newer devices they don't seem to like two protocols on the same port.
    IChat logs in to the AIM server on the TCP protocol on port 5190 and sends files (and certain Text chats) on the UDP protocol.
    Changing the port in iChat seems to help.
    If that does not fix it can you tell us what ports you have open in the device you connect to the Internet with ?

  • Why isn't my iMessage working. It's only working with certain people

    My iPhone 4 has been strange lately. It only sends iMessage to certain people. How do I fix it?

    hmmm.. When you go to settings>Messages>send and recieve> are you signed in? Or does it say "Use your appleid for imessage" ? If so , does signing out and signing back in fix the issue?

  • Why can't I block certain people face timing and imessageing me? I keep receiving random facetime calls every 5 minutes got to the point where I have has to turn facetime off.

    Why can't I block certain people face timing and imessageing me? I keep receiving random facetime calls every 5 minutes got to the point where I have has to turn facetime off.

    I'm having the same problem, but it's also coming through on my computer, through my Apple email address.  I have a very short Apple email, and little kids are trying to facetime their little friends, and then when I tell them I'm not their friend, they FaceTime or iMessage me even more, thinking that I'm still their friend, and I'm just kidding around. 
    I can't block the kids before they call...I don't know who they are.  I want to restrict my FaceTime to only my phone number, and block all FaceTime and iMessage requests that are coming in through my email address.  Can I do that?
