Still getting "not responding" message
I have followed the advice held elsewhere on this forum and have corrected the port forwarding on my router (BT Voyage 2091) and tested it against the test users referred to elsewhere.
Connect with test users perfectly, unfortunately cannot connect with my parents. It has worked intermittantly over christmas but now does not work at all just keep getting the "user did not respond" after my parents accept the invitation.
I have
iMac G5 2GHZ
using iChat 3.1
OSX 4.3
Router is BT Voyager 2091
DSL link is 1Mb down 256k up
all ports listed are opened (5060,5190, etc.)
DHCP run by router
Mac OSX firewall is set to off
any suggestions?
would be grateful for any ideas how I can solve this
Hi Higgs,
If this particular BT device does have UPnP then turn off the Port Forwarding (Disbale) settings and Turn on UPnP.
What have they got at their end ?
How have they enabled Ports for iChat ?
Both ends should test with the Autoresponding Accounts here http://www.ralphjohnsuk.dsl.pipex.com/ContactTesters.html and with some of the regular testers.

keep getting "not responding" message, extremely slow, have tried rebuilding data base, tried removing and re-installing. Still the same
Do you use McAfee anti-virus software?
If yes, please read:
* https://wiki.mozilla.org/Thunderbird:Testing:Antivirus_Related_Performance_Issues#McAfee
Is this an Imap mail account?
if yes, you can choose to only synchronize the most recent of emails instead of a whole folder.
see info :
* https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/imap-synchronization#w_configuring-synchronization-and-disk-space-usage
Make sure you compact folders on a regular basis to remove all 'marked as deleted' emails.
Tools -> Account Settings -> Server Settings -> Clean up ("Expunge") Inbox on Exit will compact the Inbox folder when you exit Thunderbird. If you check "Empty Trash on Exit" it will also empty and compact the Trash folder when you exit. -
Installed 4.0.1.0 yesterday. Since then, I get "not responding" message every few minutes.
MAil often doesn’t fully quit although it appears closed in dock (I have to force quit)
Please follow these directions to delete the Mail "sandbox" folders. In OS X 10.9 there are two sandboxes, while in 10.8 there is only one. If you're running a version older than 10.8, this comment isn't applicable.
Back up all data.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a folder named "com.apple.mail" selected. If it does, move the selected folder—not just its contents—to the Desktop. Leave the Finder window open for now.
Log out and log back in. Launch Mail and test. If the problem is resolved, you may have to recreate some of your Mail settings. You can then delete the folder you moved and close the Finder window. If you still have the problem, quit Mail again and put the folder back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Repeat with this line:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.MailServiceAgent
Caution: If you change any of the contents of the sandbox, but leave the folder itself in place, Mail may crash or not launch at all. Deleting the whole sandbox will cause it to be rebuilt automatically.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return. -
Getting "Not responding" message and bridge freezes
When launching Bridge CC on a PC with Windows 7 it gives a "not responding " message in the title bar. If left alone it will eventually open, but is incredibly slow to go to another folder, gets hung up and gives the same "not responding" message.
It opens to the same folder every time, even if left off at another folder.
I have uninstalled Bridge CC and reinstalled and still get the exact same problem. Also have done registry cleanup and other PC maintenance.
Does anyone know of a solution?Perhaps someone close (geographically) can give you a hand?
[http://windows.microsoft.com/en-ca/windows/view-cpu-utilization-performance-information#1TC=windows-7 This Windows Help article] explains how to check for resource use on your PC.
What I described is a one-step test in Thunderbird: ''On the Help menu, click on "Restart with Add-ons Disabled". '' This would help determine if the problem is among an add-on installed in Thunderbird.
If that doesn't show improvement, the problem is not within Thunderbird but elsewhere in the system. Starting the computer in Safe Mode then helps confirm if the problem is in Windows (and not specifically in Thunderbird).
I understand you may not be comfortable doing this by yourself, perhaps ask someone close to help you in person, by showing them our answers here. -
The problem started after last update. I tried following the directions in firefox Help without success. They were confusing and the instructions did not match what I was seeing on my screen. I need a simple quick fix thank you.
There could be more than one reason for such messages.
There is a problem sometimes with the database file used for history and bookmarks see
* http://blog.bonardo.net/2011/09/30/is-your-firefor-freezing-at-regular-intervals
There was a change made which seems to affect some Windows users, and has a workaround, but tends to result in images etc not loading rather than a not responding message see
* [[firefox never finishes loading certain websites#w_lower-the-max-number-of-http-connections]]_lower-the-max-number-of-http-connections
Are you getting any other error messages, or indications of problems ?
* not directly related to an update but also see [[firefox hangs]]
* and [[Firefox is already running but is not responding]]
P.S. <br/> I note you have BrowserPlus, that has sometimes, recently, been associated with firefox problems, it would certainly be worth trying temporarily disabling that. -
I get the Not Responding message on both TB and Firefox all the time. I have seen issues using McAfee and a list of other Anti-Virus programs but I use STOPzilla and it is not listed at this time. It gets very annoying when typing something and the screen freezes for several seconds and have the Not Responding message and then it will work again. I am running TB 31.0 and Windows 7. Thank you.

Cp8 - why do I frequently get "Not Responding" message?
When I copy slides from one project to another, or if I try to apply a different theme I will get the "Not Responding" message. It happens with other functions as well but these are the most frequent issues. I have had versions 4,5,6,7, and now 8. I never had this before.

Keep getting (Not Responding) message while attempting to view messages in Thunderbird
After launching Thunderbird and loading new email I continue to receive "(Not Responding)" message in the top application bar. I tried the re-indexing steps after saving the profile folder to a backup drive, but the message continues to come up when attempting to navigate between email messages. I also tried running in "Safe Mode" per instructions, but it continues to occur there as well. Are there settings that I need to adjust to improve performance of this application on my system? I am running Windows 7 on a Dell Inspiron desktop computer. Thanks

can't start firefox, keeps getting stuck have 'no response' have to force quit on my mac
Hmmmm, http://www.seattlepi.com/ loads fine hear in 10.4.11, FF 3.6.8, but I do see it uses some kind of Flash.
The last really supported Flash for PPC was 10.1.102.64, but if it's for like Facebook or such, people have been fooling FB to think they have a leter version installed.

Might be later ones around also... saw 11.3 I think.
(If you are running a PPC Mac with Flash Player 10.1.102.64 and are having problems with watching videos on FaceBook or other sites, contributor Texas Mac Man suggests the following solution which fools the site into thinking that you are running the latest version:)
Download this http://www.steelbin.com/FPforFBPPC.zip to your desktop, unzip it, and replace the current Flash Player plug-in which is in your main/Library/Internet Plug-Ins folder, (not the user Library). Save the old one just in case this one doesn't work.
You should also consider the Shockwave Player, which displays Web content that has been created by Adobe Director, much used for multimedia: For PPC Macs: http://get.adobe.com/shockwave/

When I close out Firefox, and return later to use the internet, I click on Firefox and it gives me a message stating that Firefox is already running and needs to be closed before restarting or reboot my system. This occurs every time Firefox is closed and attempt to re-start it,,, not only at times,,,, EVERY time.
I have tried removing Firefox from my system and re-installing to fix this issue however,,, this did not work. After re-installing, I still get the same message when attempting to restart Firefox.
I have also tried Ctrl, Alt, delete to open the task manager and find there is no task to close.
I do not have any problems when using IE, I prefer to use Firefox as it is faster and crashes less than IE.
I am very frustrated at having to reboot my system each time I want to use the internet.
How can this problem be repaired?There are various causes for this error, see [[Firefox is already running but is not responding]] for details.

Keep getting "not responding" error message as DW hangs
I have had the following problem consistently used DW 12.1, as well as the version that was with CS 5.5. And I am almost sure it has something to do with the html or other code on my pages, but I thought a DW guru might help.
Basics First: DW 12.1 with the subscription. 64 bit Window 7.
Files that I am editing will periodically freeze, and then I get the "not responding" message above the menu bar. It freezes for 10 to 30 seconds (IT FEELS LIKE 10 TO 30 HOURS) and then starts working again.
Of course it only seems to happen when I'm on a roll making many duplicate mundane edits and then BOOM... can't do anything except shoot laser eye daggers at the screen and try to prevent myself from hyperventilating.
Here's the thing. I work on many sites; and this generally only happens on the site of my main client. I work off o local copies of the site, but I inherited them and they are massively full of bloat code, scripts, etc. I would not be surprised in the least if DW is trying to run or access some of this and this is the cause.
I turned off the "Display external files" option; are there other options I should try? It really is the absolute most annoying thing in my life right now (we should all be so lucky) and I'm hoping you might have a way to fix it.
I'd be happy to post code, but this page is a typical example where I might get the error 10 times in a 30 minutes while working on it...
http://www.healthfirst.com/acls-kit.html
Thanks!Retard, (I know that sounds hilarious, but I don't know your name - no offense please! )
Like you said, if this happens only primarily on one of the many sites, it generally comes down to the type of code on that site.
And after looking at the URL you posted, seems like that page uses a lot of external references - JS and CSS.
Especially the last few lines:
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://njcdn.worldsecuresystems.com/CatalystScripts/Java_OnlineShopping.js?vs=b1763.r38875 7"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://njcdn.worldsecuresystems.com/CatalystScripts/Java_Cookies.js?vs=b1763.r388757"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://njcdn.worldsecuresystems.com/CatalystScripts/Java_Box.js?vs=b1763.r388757"></script>
Also, a couple CSS, JS references in the <head> section.
'Display External Files' only disables showing external files - but still loads them.
Can you try removing the external references and try working with the webpage in DW for a few minutes to see if the same problem persists? If it does, we know what was causing your issue.
Also, run your site through W3 validator to check and resolve errors: http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.healthfirst.com%2Facls-kit.html&charset =%28detect+automatically%29&doctype=Inline&group=0
Let us know how it goes.
Good luck.

I am running Windows 7 and have tried to install iCloud. No matter what instructions I follow, I still get the error message "This Apple ID is valed but is not an iCloud account." How can I resolved this?
I've tried both. First, I tried on my pc, where iTunes had installed iCloud when it last updated. I have iTunes installed on this computer (and on my iPad and iPhone), but that wasn't the issue.
So I went online, thinking I needed a separate iCloud Apple ID, but it prompted me for my current Apple ID and gave me the message about my ID being "valid" but not an iCloud account," which, lol, was what it had asked me to do in order to create one. I checked, and at least one other user is having the same issue. I'll attempt to copy/paste the Support request url: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4430653?tstart=0
Thank you for any help you can give.

I have the latest version of Firefox yet I am still getting an error message that says photoshop is no longer supported on my platfrom and thereofre it's not downloading.
Please give a bit more system details. Which OS and version are you on? Is it 32 bit or 64 bit. Try downloading the Creative Cloud App if not already installed from: https://creative.adobe.com/products/creative-cloud. You can choose to install PS from withing this app and need not rely on web page.

After downloading the mac os x 10.6.8 I can't open safari. It first told me that I could not run it with Safari 5.1 so I downloaded safari 6 because I had read that that would solve the problem. However I am still getting an error message. HELP!!
