Still need help with iChat

Hello
I have tried everything sugested in these posts to get iChat to work through my wireless router Dlink DI-524. I have even contacted apple care (waste of time as far as I am concerned)
I have filled out the folowing and pasted it here with as much info as I could answer.
Please take a look at the following and let me know if there is something I am missing to get this D* program working.
There are lots of things you can do to help the regular posters in this Discussion area help you.
First of all the current Discussions were designed on a One Person/Problem to one Thread basis. This was to try and stop several people jumping on what looked like a similar problem and the thread ending up with 5 or more different answer to what in fact were different problems.
Now linked to this is the need to have all the info you have in one go, up front so that we can answer as succinctly and as quickly as we can without repeating questions over and over to get to a start point.
As a Start go here and enter your computer and OS details so they appear on every Post you make.
After that you need to list these things:
1) Have you done the Quicktime Streaming setting ?
Go to System Preferences > Quicktime > Streaming tab. In the drop down set the speed to match your download or to a max of 1.5meg
YES
2) Are you running your Mac with the Firewall On ?
NO
If so have you set up ports for iChat ?
3) Did you upgrade from Panther ? NO
Do any of these things effect you ?
If they did and you have done them please state so.
4) How are you connected to the internet ? THROUGH WIRELESS
a) We need to know device make and Model ?
DLINK DI-524 ROUTER
b) We need how you have opened the ports for iChat ?
* UPnP ? ENABLED
* Port Forwarding BUMP – Thought you only need to use this if firewall is on
* Port Triggering BUMP
* DMZ BUMP
c) We need to know if you know if the device is in Bridge Mode ? BUMP
(sends your Public IP through to your computer or router).
d) Do you have a router as well ?
* Is it doing DHCP ? Do you only set this up if using built in Ethernet?
* Is it an Airport device ? YES
* Have you opened the ports there ? BUMP
* By which method ? (see above list) NOT SURE
5) Do you have any iChat Add-Ons ? NO
List them if you have.
Also state if you downloaded them when you were running Panther and if you have updated them.
1. iChatUSBCam
2. iGlasses
3. Showmacster
4. ChatFX
6) Does anything in this FAQ effect you and the Add-ons in addition to 5) ? NO. At least I don’t think so.
7) Does it have anything to do with connecting to a PC ? NO
See Here and here
8) List your Connection speed

Hi Kaisoboy,
This page has the instructions on how to access your device and pics to help and
It does not show UPnP in the menu.
It could be that you have newer firmware than the pics.
However it should still help.
DO NOT set the ports shown as they are wrong.
Set the ones I gave you.

I'm still having a problem with the flash player, please read my last post below:
"I've tried everything here & still can't download the flash player. Anytime I try to download it asks me to install ADM add-on and then when I click on that, my computer freezes. How do I enable this add-on without my computer freezing? Can anyone help pls?"

Thanks a lot for your help, it is truly appreciated.

Still need help with case sensitive strings

Hello guy! Sorry to trouble you with the same problem again,
but i still need help!
"I am trying to create a scrypt that will compare a String
with an editable text that the user should type to match that
String. I was able to do that, but the problem is that is not case
sensitive, even with the adobe help telling me that strings are
case sensitive. Do you guys know how to make that comparison match
only if all the field has the right upper and lower case letters?
on exitframe
if field "t:texto1" = "Residencial Serra Verde"then
go to next
end if
end
|----> thats the one Im using!"
There were 2 replys but both of them didnt work, and the
second one even made the director crash, corrupting even previously
files that had nothing to do with the initial problem..
first solution given --
If you put each item that you are comparing into a list, it
magically
makes it case sensitive. Just put list brackets around each
item.
on exitframe
if [field "t:texto1"] = ["Residencial Serra Verde"] then
go to next
end if
end
Second solution given--
The = operator is not case-sensitive when used on strings,
but the < and > operators are case-sensitive.
So another way to do this is to check if the string is
neither greater than nor less than the target string:
vExpected = "Residencial Serra Verde"
vInput = field "t:texto 1"
if vExpected < vInput then
-- ignore
else if vExpected > vInput then
-- ignore
else
-- vExpected is a case-sensitive match for vInput
go next
end if
So any new solutions??
Thanks in advance!!
joao rsm

The first solution does in fact work and is probably the most
efficient way
of doing it. You can verify that it works by starting with a
new director
movie and adding a field named "t:texto1" into the cast with
the text
"Residencial Serra Verde" in the field. Next type the
following command in
the message window and press Enter
put [field "t:texto1"] = ["Residencial Serra Verde"]
You will see it return 1 which means True. Next, make the R
in the field
lower case and execute the command in the message window, it
will return 0
(true).
Now that you know this works, you need to dig deeper in your
code to find
what the problem is. Any more info you can supply?

Half-way there, but still need help with synching individual libraries

Okay, I got my music xferred to new computer, but I'm still having problems synching individual libraries. When I did my daughter's library, I xferred purchased songs, then did the synch, so it wiped everything else out and just left me with the purchased songs (yeah, I know, big duh on my part). That's not such a big deal on her ipod because she only had about 350 songs, so I've replaced the majority of them already. However, my son and I have about 1000 songs each and I don't want to wipe out our libraries.
So, when I plug in my ipod and pull up my library, what do I need to do to keep the songs already on my ipod and synch it?
TIA

Katrina you've been very helpful, I'm just having a hard time explaining myself, I guess.
I now have all of my backed up music on my current computer, so that's all good. And I've set up individual libraries for each of us with ipods. Now I'm trying to figure out how to synch (for instance) my ipod with nearly 1000 songs with my own personal library on itunes (which is currently empty) w/o losing the songs currently on my ipod and having to drag them to my itunes library from scratch. The same applies for my son's ipod and itunes library.
My daughter's ipod only had about 350 songs, which I wound up wiping out, so I had to start from scratch putting songs in her (itunes) library, which I can now synch with her ipod. However, that would be really time consuming to do with mine and my son's ipods, so I'm hoping to figure out a way to get the songs already on our ipods into our individual itunes libraries now.

Still Need Help with this String Problem

basically, i need to create a program where I input 5 words and then the program outputs the number of unique words and the words themselves. for example, if i input the word hello 5 times, then the output is 1 unique word and the word "hello". i have been agonizing over this dumb problem for days, i know how to do it using hashmap, but this is an introductory course and we cannot use more complex java functions, does ANYONE know how to do this just using arrays, strings, for loops, if clauses, etc. really basic java stuff. i want the code to be able to do what the following program does:
import java.io.*; import java.util.ArrayList;
    public class MoreUnique {
       public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException{ BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in)); String str[] = new String[5]; int uniqueEntries = 0; ArrayList<String> ue = new ArrayList<String>();
         for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++) { System.out.print((i +1) + ": "); str[i] = br.readLine(); }
         for (int j = 0; j < 5; j++) {
            if (!ue.contains(str[j].toLowerCase())) { ue.add(str[j].toLowerCase()); } } uniqueEntries = ue.size(); System.out.print("Number of unique entries: " + uniqueEntries + " { ");
         for (int q = 0; q < ue.size(); q++ ) { System.out.print(ue.get(q) + " "); } System.out.println("}"); } } but i need to find how to do it so all 5 words are put in at once on one line, and without all the advanced java functions that are in here, can anyone help out?

you have to compare string 0 to strings 1-4, then
string 1 with strings 2-4, then string 2 with strings
3 and 4 then string 3 with string 4....right???Here's a way to do it:
public class MoreUnique {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
        BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
        final int NUM_WORDS = 5;
        String[] words = new String[NUM_WORDS];
        int uniqueEntries = 0;
        for(int i = 0; i < NUM_WORDS; i++) {
            System.out.print((i+1)+": ");
            String temp = br.readLine();
            if(!contains(temp, words)) {
                words[uniqueEntries++] = temp;
        System.out.print("Number of unique entries: "+uniqueEntries+" { ");
        for (int i = 0; i < uniqueEntries; i++ ) {
            System.out.print(words[i]+" ");
        System.out.println("}");
    private static boolean contains(String word, String[] array) {
             Your code here: just a simple for-statement to
             loop through your array and to see if 'word'
             is in your 'array'.
}Try to fill in the blanks.
Good luck.

I still need help with this minor upgrade.

I have an 800mhz g4.
The 800 G4 can get really clunky and slow sometimes, I've seen a couple of Fp's on ebay for 174 that are 1.25ghz.
Would it be worth upgrading the G4 to a 1ghz+ machine?
I don't really do anything on the computer except browser the internet and use IM, Even the web browser can be a little slow sometimes too!

If you like these iMac and If your looking to sell your iMac G4 for a faster one iMac G4, I would recommend looking at the 1.25 Ghz, USB 2.0 models selling on ebay. These can take up to 2.0Gbs of RAM instead of 1 Gb.
Obviously, you'll pay a little more for the higher spec'd models.
A lot of things can make a Mac slow.
On the internet, if you're on a broadband connections speeds vary with the time of day and the amount of traffic upstream from you.
If your hard drive is filling up, this can slow your Mac if it's close to being full.
Ideally, you show have as a minimum at least 15% to 20% of your total drive space left to insure your Mac can still run optimally. Less this this can start to show troubles.
Do you run computer maintenance on your iMac?
All computers, even Macs, need occasional maintenance to insure good operation.
Do you repair permissions when your Mac crashes or when you install new programs?
Do you have any third party disk utilities such as DIsk Warrior from Alsoft or TechTool Pro from Micromat?
Over time, data corruption/fragmentation can make any computer or Mac slow.
My Mac just informally told me a few days ago that I needed to run some disk repair.
So I used TechTool Pro to do this. Mac is running fine now.
Without some semi-routine computer maintenance, over an extended period of time, your iMac can an did get slow.
All I am saying is if you decide to purchase a better spec Mac, that machine will eventually get slow too if no regular computer maintenance is not done.

Still need help with 2122 error. Apple won't help.

okay, i'm still getting the 2122 error when burning. i'm all out of ideas and apple isn't helping me at all with their "award winning customer support". btw, who gave them that "award"? anyway, this discussion board is pretty much my last hope to get some kind help. any new ideas or solutions to this problem?

Ipod touch will sync with one computer at a time. If you sync to another, it will first erase the content from the ipod, then replace it with content from the new computer.
On Mac, not completely sure about Windows, you can copy the entire itunes folder to the new computer and retain the information.

Still need help with changing hostname on Solaris 10

Hello.
I have some difficulties with changing host name of my computer.
It is DHCP Client.
AS I understand there are the following steps that I have to do:
1. Edit the /etc/default/dhcpagent file and change the line that reads the following:
#REQUEST_HOSTNAME=no
to
REQUEST_HOSTNAME=no
2. There are two empty /etc/hostname files: hostname and hostname6.
Do I have just to put there hostname?
3. /etc/hosts has what I need to change.
4. I was unable to find /etc/nodename. Do I have to create it? What properties should contain this file?
5. hostname <new hostname>
In previous time when I tried to change host name with Management Console my system crashed, I changed: /etc/hosts, but it didn't work.
Thank you.

Hello.
Using DHCP you may really have problems changing the hostname.
The fact is: The DNS server may assign your machine a host name which has nothing to do with the host name you sent to the DHCP server. Depending on the server (typically DHCP and DNS server are the same machine) nothing will really work. (This is the case with my configuration where the servers are located on a DSL router.)
I solved the problem the following way:
* I created two host names (MyMachine and MyMachineNet) in the /etc/hosts file (Solaris 10 and newer: /etc/inet/ipnodes must be changed, too.)
* "MyMachine" is 127.0.0.1 (localhost):
127.0.0.1 localhost MyMachine
192.168.178.100 MyMachineNet* I assigned the name "MyMachineNet" to the network interface in /etc/hostname.networkcard.
* I use DHCP
The computer name (in /etc/nodename) is "MyMachine". Some programs (e.g. Gnome !) establish a TCP/IP connection to "MyMachine" instead of "localhost" (I do not understand why). These programs are now satisfied because the host name "MyMachine" represents 127.0.0.1 (localhost).
I know that there is a switch that tells Solaris to take the machine name from DHCP/DNS instead of /etc/nodename. Unfortunately I forgot where it is.

Still need help with TDS420A scope...

I have a new TDS420A Tektonix oscilloscope here and I am trying to display
a continuous wave from it to the PC. I have d/l
all the drivers from the
NI site and have made a program that will display
a waveform. The problem
arises when I try to display the waveform in a more
"real time" mode. I
am dealing with low frequency waves and they "scroll"
across the display
on the TDS420A, but when I try to view them this
way using my VI, it keeps
resetting itself. I have already wired a constant
False expression to the
reset connection on the Intialize.vi dr
iver so that
is not the problem.
Any ideas/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

I still need help with my ipod shuffle(first gen)

my usb dosnt reconize ipod, i already have itunes..i have no clue about ipods, i just got it.is there supossed to be other software other then itunes, for the ipod?

Hello, Mjj2005
If you are running Windows OS. The requirements to use an iPod or shuffle are
Latest version of iTunes and Quicktime
You can get the latest version of iTunes with Quicktime by going to
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/ and choose Windows 2000/XP
There is no other software or hardware required.
Some Quick Tips. Try using different USB Ports on your PC and see if iTunes shows your shuffle. Your shuffle is going to appear in the left hand side of iTunes.
If you open iTunes and look at the left hand side. Look for an area called Devices. If you see this right below that will be your Shuffle name.
For better assistance with your iPod you might want to call Apple Support at
1-800-275-2273 where a helpful agent can guide you through these articles and assist you with any other questions you may have about your shuffle.

Still need help with itunes burning

I have bought some tv shows from the itunes store, but it is taking up so much space on my computer and which is probably the reason it is so slow. so I am wanting to burn the shows to a dvd so i can watch them that way, which then i will be able to delete them off my computer. if anyone knows how to do this let me know! thanks

I'm going to say it again; there is no way to burn a video purchased from the iTunes Store to video DVD. It's not allowed by the copy protection. Asking multiple times isn't going to get you any other answer.
If your hard drive is filling up, get another hard drive and move your iTunes library to the second drive.

Hi,
iChat (it would help to know which version) can accept Apple IDs as valid AIM Screen Names.
However if you have iChat 5 or earlier you cannot use ones ending in @me.com or @icloud.com issued by iCloud. (they can be used in iChat 6 or Messages as these versions make a double login to AIM and Apple to allow the use of the password).
In addition if you are using an Apple ID for an AIM Screen Name the password still needs to keep to the 16 character limit that AIM has.
AN @mac.com name can be used on any version of iChat (Until the 30th June 2014)
As it does not need a double check with Apple you can use it to log in to the AIM Web pages
Login here with an AIM Name registered at AIM or and @mac.com name and see if you get any suspended account messages.
Sometimes account can be suspended. Usually because something has triggered the "Unusual Activity" item.
About a year ago many @mac.com users that travelled out of their own country found themselves suspended when they got home.
If the Name checks out of if an Apple ID the password in known to be 16 characters or Less then do this:-
In Lion upwards open a Finder Window and use the Go Menu whilst holding down the ALT key.
Select the Library that appears in the menu list.
Navigate to Preferences.
(If you have version earlier than Lion the just navigate to ~/Library/Preferences (that's the Library in you Home - Little House icon - folder)
Fnd com.apple.ichat.aim.plist (even if you are using Messages)
Drag the file to the Trash and Restart the app.
