So Can My Mac Be Made To Work With iChatAV ?
This question is asked by many who find their computer is below the G3/600Mghz Specs limit set for iChat
See here in the box to the top right for current specs.
Please note there are different Specs for Audio and Video chat.
It should be noted that the specs also list OS 10.3.x (Panther)
It is presumed that you are going to want to take as much advantage of iChat as you can. So I will talk about Video chatting.
For Jaguar (10.2.5 - 10.2.8)
Prior to the beginning of Oct 2004 there was a Jaguar version of iChat AV on sale at the Apple Store as a download. If you are at 10.2.5 - 10.2.8 and downloaded the $29.95 Version 2.0 of iChat for Jaguar, in preperation of using iChat, before this date, you may find some of this information useful.
If you did not buy it, your only option is to upgrade to Panther.
For Panther (10.3.x) and Jaguar (10.2.5 -10.2.8)
IF you fall below the G3/600 mark then you will need this utility from Ecamm.com This will enable iSight to work at lower spec machines. The current reported lower limit is around the G3/350Mhz mark.
It is also will enable USB cameras for use with iChatAV, but there is little in the way of substantive information about Sub G3/600 computers achieving this.
There have been about a dozen posts to say that it will use a USB cam on a G3 as low as 400Mgz
It should be noted that computers of this age tend to lack Multi-Tasking and will find that iChat will take up most of their processor time.

HT4993 Can the new iphone 4S be made to work with Boost mobile?

I have Boost Mobile and it's part of the Sprint network but they don't offer any iphones. I was wondering if somehow the iphone 4S could be made to work with my Boost phone number and service. Boost offers pretty lame phones.
Thanks,

However, when I tried to use the analog (white/red) audio outputs, connected Apple TV to my 30 year old Kenwood integrated amp, the sound was extremely distorted and LOUD.
What input type/level are you using. Many old amps/pre-amps have specific device load/level inputs. It may be possible to use special level/load matching cables or an impedance/level matching box between the TV output and amp/preamp inputs.
Is there any adjustment that can be made to the analog output from apple TV? or do I now have an excuse to go out and buy new audio equipment?
Some very, very old (usually "tube" based) amps/preams may have input level adjustments. I personally would probably use it as an excuse to shop for a new digital AV amp/receiver.

Numark im1 works with 2nd generation ipod touch can it be made to work with 4th generation

Numark im1 works with 2nd generation ipod touch can it be made to work with 4th generation

You neglected to mention that the Numark iM1 is a piece of hardware (a physical box) that plugs into an iPod.
Checking on the Numark website, I suspect they haven't bothered to update their "iPod compatibility" page, since there's no specific reason (as far as I'm aware) why an App that worked with a 2nd gen Touch shouldn't work with a 4th gen model. Is that page where you looked and were then prompted to ask your question?
You might have more success in finding an answer to your question by contatcing the manufacturer (Numark) via their website or checking with a retailer who stocks the iM1. Numark appear to welcome email contact about their products.

HT1293 Can a 1GB IPod Shuffle (model A1204 - probably 1st Gen) be made to work with a 64 bit computer?

Can a 1GB IPod Shuffle (model A1204 - probably 1st Gen) be made to work with a 64 bit computer? I have never used this IPod which I receivede as a gift in 2008.

I have been trying to get somewhere with this Internet Security Suite...and now have come to the conclusion this is not going to work. Now running Vista 64 bit, and have gotten nothing but the run around to try to complete the downloading of the program. I've contacted Verizon Tech Support...then tell me that this works with the 64 bit but I need to contact Windows as there is a glitch and they give you the steps to get thru it. Windows advises me to contact Verizon again as there are no problems with the OS. Also have contacted Radialpoint and once again nothing...Obviously the Secuirty is not compatible with Vista 64 bit yet, which I just can't believe like you said...it's not like it was just yesterday this OS came out. My frusteration comes from nobody steps up to take any responsibility as to what the problem is. If it is not compatible yet then say so and not waste my whole weekend trying to get a straight answer. I have other computers that I am currently using the service on and do like the program, but as for my Vista 64 bit looks like I may go to Macafee for protection. It just amazes me as big as Verizon is and as popular this Vista has become they are not on the ball in keeping up with technology.

Has anyone ever made Kerberos work with AFP reliably?

I've been working on this for a couple of weeks. And while I've figured a bunch of stuff out, I'm fairly certain at this point that it's literally impossible to make AFP work using Kerberos.
So it would be great if I could get some feedback that this is possible in any way?
My question is, has any person here ever successfully made AFP work with Kerberos, as defined by:
1. In Server Admin, under AFP > Settings > Access the Authentication setting is set to "Kerberos"
2. You have been able to run your server(s) with this setting for an extended period of time, greater than two months, and are still running this way.
Please only respond positively if you have literally done this, not if you have heard of it being done, or wish to do it, or have read in a manual somewhere that it can be done.
And if you have done it, and you have good resources we might not have found using google or the os x server manuals, feel free to point them out.
Sometimes questions are pulled off the site because they are not specific enough, so I want to make my question clear. Should I continue down the path of trying to make this work (as evidenced by other people having successfully made it work) or should I give up on it?
My hunch is that a lot of people think they have Kerberos working because Server Admin > Open Directory > Overview says it's working (as mine does) and they think they have SSO. But really they just checked the "remember my login" box when logging in to a share and Kerberos isn't doing a thing, their Mac just automates the login process every time they go to a share. If they set AFP to use only Kerberos their network would break just like anyone else who tries to do that.

Yes. This most certainly works.
The areas that you need to focus is DNS and time, likely in that order. Assuming DNS is set up properly and remains that way, then you may be running into the lazy mDNSResponder issues that are plaguing early releases of 10.6. If this is the case, then tools like nslookup and dig will return the proper lookup results, but when trying to resolve to a service, the connection fails as it is misdirected. This happens most frequently on split DNS installations and has improved dramatically with the release of 10.6.3.
Beyond that, make sure your time on all workstations agree with the time on the domain server. If you have Mac Pros, those Xeon chips like to drift. If you have a time skew then Kerberos auth with fail and you will be dropped back to standard auth or no auth if you only permit kerb. This can become more complicated if your domain server and your file server are different machines.
Hope that helps. This is doable and has been since the 10.4 days. Yes, 10.6 had some release pains, but so do all OS releases. 10.6.3 is now deployable in all but the most custom environments.

This Accessory is not made to work with the iPhone (apple headset cable)

Is it just me or are others seeing this whenever you plug in the iPhone headset USB cable to your iPhone ... not sure what gives here, but it's quite annoying. I have the cable plugged into a 23" ACD USB hub (not sure if this makes a difference or not).
Considering that this headset is made to work with ONLY the iPhone and that this is the only way to hook it up and charge it I'm a bit miffed about this. I was kind of let down the quality of the headset to start with (everyone says it sounds like I'm stuck down a well when talking to them) and to top it off this message appears every time I plug things in to charge them up.
Is this a new issue with the 2.2 firmware update, or is this a more wide spread issue? Having to tell it every time not to put my phone into airplane mode is quite annoying :/ Not sure why there would be such an issue with an Apple cable made specifically for this task plugged into an Apple monitor.

Hi Allan
Thanks for the response. Connected directly to the front of my Mac Pro is didn't display that message. The funny thing is that when I moved it back to the ACD USB port I no longer got this message (for now, it's been hit and miss in the recent past as well).
Why it makes a difference on the ACD ports I don't know, according to the USB 2.0 spec there should be zero difference in connecting to a hub vs. directly to a port on the computer unless the hub is not up to spec and I have no issues using any other devices at all on the USB ports on my 2 ACD's. Smells like a bug to me. It's also hit and miss that the headset shows as charging or not on the iPhone. I just tested it with the Mac Pro front plug and had the same issue. It took 4 times unplugging and replugging until the iPhone knew it had a headset attached to it (which included a reboot of the iPhone to make sure the issue wasn't on that side). All the connectors are clean -- the headset and cable are < 1 week old. The iPhone I just took a good look and and for good measure even blew it out with some compressed air.
Either way around I'm still very unimpressed with the QA on this product. I don't think it will be around much longer. Hopefully others won't get sucked in and spend their hard earned $$ on this overpriced piece of hardware. I did read the reviews on the apple store but chose to ignore most of them (lots seemed like rants). I can now testify first hand that it doesn't seem to be all it's cracked up to be, especially on the sound quality front
I'll leave this thread open for a while longer as I want to see if anyone else is having this issue or if it's something specific with my setup (if it's specific to my setup I may just end up returning this headset and buying something else).
Thanks again.

I have an Retina display MacBook Pro with HMDI out port. I also have an HDMI to Component cable with Audio Plugs. How can I get HDMI out to work with this cable when plugged into the Component and Audio ports on my TV?

I have an Retina display MacBook Pro with HMDI out port. I also have an HDMI to Component cable with Audio Plugs. How can I get HDMI out to work with this cable when plugged into the MacBook Pro and connected to the TVs Component and Audio in ports.

Will not work. To my knowledge, dual converting like that isn't supported. The Mac must detect the connected video output device and that sort of info cannot be done across an analog component uni-directional connection.

Iphone will not charge via usb-to-computer nor via brick; I've tested with two different cables. Just before this problem arose, I got messages similar to "This accessory is not made to work with iPhone."

Most of my concern is in the subject line. I probably should've saved some content to include here. Allow me to elaborate:
While traveling with the tiny brick, I got a message on my 3GS phone that "This accessory is not made to work with iPhone”; however, the charger was working fine with another phone and with an iPad.
I tested alternatives by removing and re-inserting the cable (obviously, as I tested other devices), changing wall receptacles, shutting the phone off (all the way), all to no avail.
When I got home, I plugged a different cable--one that was connected to my iMac rather than the brick--into the my 3GS; it still didn't charge.
So, I'm hypothesizing that perhaps some debris (from a pocket?) got into the charging receptacle of the 3GS and is disrupting the connection. Perhaps there are other hypotheses.
I am reluctant to do a reset, as (a) the problem doesn't appear to be a software issue (the phone and software are all working, though the charge is declining) and (b) I don't want to lose the contents before I can sync it (now that I'm home, again).
I'd welcome suggestions. Meanwhile, I suppose I shall e-mail photos and notes from the phone to myself before I lose the remaining charge.

Try to clean the 30-pin receiver slot either by blowing air into it or using a microfiber cloth. If the problem persists, based on what you've already said, I'd say the problem is most likely hardware, and would need to be replaced or repaired. I hope your iPhone is still under the 1-Year Manufacturer Warranty, or if applicaable extended warranty. You can check by calling AppleCare National iPhone Technical Support at 1 (800) 694-7466.

Please Help "This accessory is not made to work with iPhone" iPod??

Hiya i wondered if someone here can help me please.
Today i went to play my ipod feature on my iPhone and it started playing on the iPhone speakers which i wanted, Then all of a sudden it stoped i checked it out and had an error message saying the following.
"This accessory is not made to work with iPhone
Do you wish to switch to aeroplane mode
YES/NO"
There is no accessory connected to the phone and also it has not been in contact with water which i heard sometimes triggers this error.
When i press the NO option the volume cuts out and the volume slider disapears on the ipod and also the volume buttons dont work.
I dont really want to factory restore it but if thats my only option then i will do it. Also i have only had the phone for less than 20 days.
Any Help/Advice is really apprieciated.

Check your iPhone's dock connector port for any dirt, lint, or foreign material, and it doesn't take much.
If clear, the standard troubleshooting steps in order are power your iPhone off and on, an iPhone reset - which is done by pressing and holding the home button and the sleep/wake or on/off button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo and then release - ignoring the slide to turn off prompt when doing so, restoring your iPhone with iTunes from your iPhone's backup, and restoring as a new iPhone or not from your iPhone's backup.
If no change after any of these steps in order, you can call AppleCare or make an appointment at an Apple store if there is one nearby.

If i buy Mac will it net work with a pc?

if i buy Mac will it net work with a pc?

The Mac has a lot of support for networking with other kinds of computers. It can use another computer's files and can use another computer's printers. It can offer its files and printers for use by others.
Windows does not believe there are any other kinds of computers .

"This accessory is not made to work with the iPhone"

Makes sense right? Yes, that is if there's something plugged into it that the iPhone doesn't support. Problem is, there's NOTHING plugged into my phone. This message literally pops up every 5-10 seconds, and below the message it asks if I want to turn on airplane mode to reduce audio interference or something. Has anyone experienced this problem? I've heard of it being fixed by popping out the sim an popping it back in, didn't work - plugging in headphones an unplugging them, didn't work. Is my dock connector shorted? If that's the case I can just buy a new dock connector for $30 on ebay, take apart my phone an replace it an everything should be good then right?

I too struggled with the same problem after updating some 5-6 apps on miphone the same day i upgraded itunes software to 9.1.1(12)
lost volume from onboard speakers, volume control etc...
after deleting the updated apps one by one, rebooting after each loss I found this post(among dozens) and tried plugging in The SAME cable from my hours worth of troubleshooting,syncing only This time into the Wall plug...
Instant sound! from ipod/onboard speakers.
THANX bunches to "Oswaldswell"
not sure why or for how long...

"This accessory is not made to work with iPhone"

I have a first generation iphone. It recently started showing a message that reads:
This accessory is not made to work with iPhone
Would you like to turn on Airplane Mode to reduce audio interference?
You will not be able to make call during this mode
YES NO
There is no accessory in the phone. Any thoughts on how to stop this behavior?
I tried reloading the OS and it didn't help.

I was having the same problem and it was draining my battery! After reading a couple of threads I was resigned to take my 1st gen iphone to the genius bar to see if they could do something. Before going to the bar I took off my pics, videos, movies, podcasts, and some applications in preparation for my visit. That night the problem stopped. This had been happening for about 3-4 weeks so I could replicate at will. After removing things from the phone when I tried to replicate the problem it would not happen. So I then started to re-sync things one at a time. After re-syncing everything but the applications I still could not replicate the problem. My feeling is that one of the applications, or combinations of, was causing the issue. I have not re-synced all the applications at this time because I am happy to have my phone back. Hope this helps.

How can I get my ipod to work with itunes?

When I connect my ipod classic into my new computer it seems that itunes does not recognize it. How can I get my ipod to work with itunes? I'm afraid to disconnect my ipod because the display is saying Do Not Disconnect.

1. Update iTunes to the latest version. Plug in your iPod. If iTunes still can't recognize it, then in iTunes in the top left corner click help> run diagnostics. On the box that comes up, check the last two things. Click next and it should identify your iPod.
2. Click on your windows start menu. Type in "services". Click on it and when it pops up, on the bottom of it click on "standard". Now Scroll down to find "Apple Mobile Device" Right click it when you see it and click on "Start". When it has started, close iTunes and replug in your iPod and it should show up.
3. Check the USB cable
4 Verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is installed
5. Restart the Apple Mobile Device Service and verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed.
6. If you just want to add some photos, songs and movies from computer to your devices, you can use an iTunes alternative to do the job
7. Check for third-party software conflicts.
