Trouble connecting ichat with jabber

Having trouble using Jabber software in Ichat. Cant seem to connect to my clients or my gmail account. I am on 10.5.8 I use Verizon to connect to the net.
Im works and Bonjour works. But nothing with Jabber.
Any suggestions?

Hi,
You did this ?
Opened iChat
Went to the iChat Menu > Preferences > Accounts and used the Plus button.
In here you chose Google in the drop down at the top item ?
You added your Google ID exactly as it appears when you login to the Web Mail page ? (it makes a difference between @gmail.com and @googlemail.com)
You have enable Talk on your Google Account ?
If you check now, the iChat Menu > Preferences > Accounts > Server settings tab for the Google account lists talk.google.com as the server and is using SSL and therefore port 5223 ?
You have added Google Buddies with the "right suffix" to their IDs in the list ?

Trouble connecting Ichat with friend using AIM account on a pc

Hi, I am new to Apple's and Ichat. I am attempting to video chat with a friend, who is using an AIM account on a pc. We have tried turning her firewall off. I am unable to connect with her. I keep getting a communication error. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

First try to connect to the Apple "bot" test servers listed here. Then, at the bottom of that same webpage, there is a list of "real-people" Mac testers. See whether you can work them. That will let us know whether the problem resides on your end (a Mac/router/ports problem) or her end (PC/AIM/ports/exceptions problem). Post back and let us know how things work out for you Mac-to-Mac.
If you can't get ahold of a real people contact tester, I could contact test with you if you want. My setup has worked "out of the box" since day 1. However, I configure my iChat security to only allow people on my buddy list to see that I'm online. So I'd need to know your AIM screen name so I could temporarily add it to my buddy list or you'd never see me online. You would have to email your screen name to me, and a suggested time to try a test. Between 7PM and 9PM MDT works best for me. To get my email address, copy the following line into Terminal.app and hit enter:
echo 9274185136367780862791258724411398020885770P|dc
To get my AIM screen name, copy the following line into Terminal.app and hit enter:
echo 502754583644136110388490P|dc
But I'd try the contact testers listed on Ralph's website first -- they probably aren't as limited in their available hours of operation

Having trouble connect consistantly with websites, clear history then it works and an hour later, need to do the same thing (clear history to connect)

Just purchased new laptop with Windows 8, loaded firefox for browser as have always used in other computers. Am having trouble accessing websites, for example when I go to my gmail gmail.com, an error comes up that it can't access the website, check connections. But if I go and clear history, includidng the cache, then close Firefox and reopen and then try it works. Then I'll move onto other things and go back and it still works. Not sure what is the trigger, but when I try to go back to my gmail for example.(as it happens on other sites as well, my banking, my facebook, etc) I get that error again, I then have to again clear history,...then everything works!!! It's very frustrating as I have to clear history at least a dozen times per day! What is happening!

Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox and any leftover program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps one by one:
#Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
#After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu) and confirm all upcoming messages.
#Now, uninstall Firefox by following the steps mentioned in the [[Uninstall Firefox from your computer#w_uninstall-firefox|Uninstall Firefox]] article.
'''IMPORTANT:''' On Windows, the uninstaller has the option to remove your personal data and settings. Make sure that you do '''not''' check this option; otherwise all of your bookmarks, passwords, extensions, user customizations and other Firefox [[Profiles|user profile data]] will be removed from your computer.
After uninstalling Firefox on Windows, delete the "Mozilla Firefox" program folder, located by default in one of these locations:
* '''(On 32-bit Windows)''' ''C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox''
* '''(On 64-bit Windows)''' ''C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox''
#Go to the Windows Start menu and click on "Computer".
#In the Explorer window that opens, double click Local Disk (C:) to open the C:\ drive.
#Find the "Program Files (x86)" folder or "Program Files" folder.
#* On 32-bit Windows, double-click the '''Program Files''' folder to open it.
#* On 64-bit Windows, you will see a "Program Files (x86)" folder AND a "Program Files" folder. Open the '''Program Files (x86)''' folder.
#Look for a '''Mozilla Firefox''' folder. If you find one, right-click it and select ''Delete'' and confirm that you want to move the folder to the Recycle Bin.
Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
#Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
#Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
Please report back to see if this helped you!

Connecting iChat with Yahoo Messenger

Hi-
I want to use iChat as my main messenger and most of my friends use Yahoo IM. Wondering if the program has an update or if there is something else i can do?
Thank you

the easiest way to do it is to install the Openfire jabber server (http://www.igniterealtime.org/projects/openfire/index.jsp) and follow the simple instructions to set it up. Once running, it works in the background and you can add custom gateways for MSN, ICQ, Yahoo and others.
Once you get it installed, you install the IM gateway plugins, set up users (one username for each service you want to access) and point Ichat to <username>@localhost.
the other option is to find a jabber server on the internet that 1. allows new user connections 2. has the IM gateways available.
I did a lot of searching, and the most reliable seemed to have it running on my personal machine. That way its always available and when new versions of the IM gateway are released, I can immediately take advantage of new updates.
Once its installed, I'd suggest picking up "Chax" which will alow you to have 1 unified contact list. the only thing that isnt supported is buddy icons, file transfers or audio/video chat.

Anyone else having trouble connecting MBP with thunderbolt port (TBp) and 27"iMac with mini display port (MDp)

I have a 27" Imac.i7 with mini displayport and MBP13 i5 with thunderbolt port. Some time ago I tried to connect my old MBP with miniDP to The 27"iMac I Failed so did the apple centre they refunded cable costs and said I'd be contacted by Cupertino. That was 9 months ago, now replaced MBP with 13 inch(**** I can use my iMac as display!). Does not work phoned Fast Lane very helpful guy called JIM emailed me some software/firmware update links. Still no display linking. One of the links was for a couple of updates for a TBp equiped 27" iMac mine is only MDp equiped. Failing to find any MDp updates in apple support. Anyone have any Ideas! My lad has a later 27"i5 he uses Xbox 360 no problem on his but it wont look at my MBP.
Beginning to feel like some of the kit that went with a fully loaded 5500 worked eventually. Computer and FM radio, Photography kit fine, video capture audio capture forget it. Too many crashes and resets made it impractical.

Trouble connecting AEBS with Cox & Motorola cable modem

I am able to set up my new AEBS however I cannot connect to internet. I am told via Airport Utility that I have set up correctly and have the steady green light and the wireless connection however it just won't pick up the Internet. I've called my ISP Cox Communications and they told me it's an issue w/my router. I noticed a similar problem in discussion boards with Comcast and followed the same instructions and it did not resolve. I've tried to power off cable modem for 10 sec, 2 min and 10 min and just no luck. I immediately plug back in my Linksys router and am able to connect to internet just fine.
Anyone know what to do?

Power off your cable modem for at leat 10 HOURS! Cox like every other ISP "caches" the MAC address of your router. The only way to "reset" this and allow a new MAC address to be accepted, is to turn off the cable modem overnight for 8-10 hours.
Some routers have the ability to "clone" a previous router MAC address, therefore not requiring the above process, but the AEBSn does NOT have this capability.

Trouble connection Laptop with Router

Linkysys Cisco Wireless-N WRT160N, My connection is fine, My sons laptop will not show my router in his connections. At times it will, and then at times it won't. Most of the time when it shows, he can not connect. We both have Network Magic, when having Network Magic try to fix the connection it never works. I have added his laptop on my devices. He has no problem connection with his Xbox. just the laptop, I am at a loss of what to do. Thanks

I assume that you are loosing both your wired and your wireless connection at the same time. Is that correct?
The most common cause for this is peer-to-peer (P2P) software. If you are running P2P software, go into the program and reduce the number of connections that the program makes.
If this is not your problem, please give more details. Also, please include your router model and version, ISP, the make and model of your modem, and how your system is set up.

Trouble connecting icom with mack book pro

I have a Phonak ICOM blue tooth device which I want to pair with my MacBook Pro. Bluetooth finds the device but cannot connect with it. Does anyone have experience with it? The ICOM and the computer are both in discoverable mode.

Success!! I was unable to make the ICOM discoverable and hit the reset button. It immediately paired with the macbook pro. Just some software glitch I assume.

Macbook Air has trouble connecting immediately with wireless network

My Macbook Air seems takes a while to find the wireless network (but it does eventually find it). I get several "No Internet Connection" dialogue error boxes before the computer finally finds the network. How do I get rid of this and why is it doing it? My MacPro works just fine finding the wireless network.

From your signature it seems you didn't upgrade to Snow Leopard. If not, that could solve your problem. I had exactly the same issue under Leopard, but upgrading to Snow Leopard solved it completely.

Hi,
There can be many reasons why the Login is "up the creek".
Any break in the network at your end whilst logged in will cause an issue.
A sort of discrepancy between what iChat thinks the state should be and what the server thinks.
If they don't agree the server will refuse to accept.
A Crash at the server end which does not log you out properly will also do it.
Any file at any time can be come corrupted.
Luckily with the iChat .plists they are recreated if removed with an iChat Restart.
If it were AIM you can also get your Account Suspended and this will not log you in.
(It tends to happen from Chat rooms where people notify AIM about bad behaviour (as they see it) and you have to apply to get Un-suspended).
Most of the big IM services use multiple servers.
Sometimes these go out of Sync.
In the case of AIM this happens when they remove Old unused Screen Names from people's Buddy List prior to making them available for re-registration. I am not sure if this happens at Google.
You seem to be talking about an account that has worked at Work and having new computer at home.
As I mentioned the Priority thing you have not said that it has coincided with the new computer logging in (this will kick the work Computer out of Google whether you are logged in on the Web Mail page or in iChat)
IN addition to that iChat stays partially logged in for Off Line IMs
This is done in the background by a support app called iChatAgent
If your Computer is ON but ichat is not started people can still send you Messages.
Instead of saving these on the server until you login iChat will start up.
Depending if the home Mac is effecting the Work Login it may be holding sway over your Login.
Using your girlfriend's login may have booted her Off Line where she normally uses the name/login.
The AIM Side can be specifically set to allow Multiple Logins and therefore NOT allow them. If this happens you get a warning and messages to do something about it.
You do not get these in any Jabber or Google Login as the Priority setting is supposed to take care of it.
If the Login works at the Web Mail Login and on one computer then the .plist on the work computer is the most likely issue.
There is a small chance that a Corrupt Buddy Pic (Home Folder/Library/Caches/com.apple.iChat/Pictures) may be the cause.
Set this folder to icon view and also use the Finder's View Menu > Show View Options and select icon view.
This should show all pics as their icon.
Check that all display properly.
At this point I would try a COMBO version update install of the last Update you did over what you have.
This often corrects hard to trace things

Trouble connecting with IMAC to Windows shared files on network.

Every so often our IMAC will have trouble connecting to our file storage server (running Windows Vista). Usually we reboot the file storage server and this fixes the problem. When the connection problem occurs the IMAC can still smb into other workstations on the network, but not the file storage server. Anyone had any similar issues before? The two things that seem odd to me are 1) That the IMAC can still smb into other workstations on the network and 2) That a restart fixes it everytime.

Hi and Welcome to Apple Discussions.
You are not doing anything wrong. There are compatibility issues with the way Pidgin and iChat Leopard communicate. Your options are to use another windows client (PSI for instance) or make some changes to the configuration of the ichat server (namely set the server up to use the non SSL port 5222 and plain text log in).

I am having trouble connecting to my network all of a sudden. It is not an issue with the service/router. I keep getting kicked off and getting a ! in my airport... anyone know what's up with this?

I am having trouble connecting to my network all of a sudden. I am able to connect to other networks but not my own. It is not an issue with the service/router because other devices connect fine. I keep getting kicked off and getting a ! in my airport. Last time it happended I called apple and the suggested I wipe my HD and reinstall everything. I did and it did not work. One day I turned my laptop on and it connected no problem. Now it has kicked me off again. I tried resetting my IP address but that does not work either! Has anyone had this problem?

Try this:
Apple menu / System Preferences / Network.
Click Location: and select Edit Locations..
Click + (plus sign), and enter a name for the new location - anything will do.
Apply this.

Having trouble connecting computer to TV with sound

I have a 2010 macbook pro and a samsung LN40B550 LCD HDTV - having trouble connecting computer to TV with sound - I'm not sure which connectors I need and have purchased a few that aren't working (HDMI: DVI cable & Mini - DP to DVI adaptor). Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Sorry to tell you that DVI does not support sound. You either have to use a HDMI cable (with the appropriate adapter) or tap your audio output port with a 'Y' type cable configuration for sound.
Ciao.
