Why doesn't iChat connect most times?

Whether open already but not connected. Or. Opening MacBook Pro and launching iChat. Or opening computer from sleep, hitting command L to conect.
All of these ways of trying to use iChat only makes iChat just hang. if I force quit, then the only way to ever get iChat to eve open is to restart the computer.
Right now I'm waiting for iChat to connect after hitting Command L. I wait and after about 3 minutes it fials to conect. I dont' dare force quit anymore, because then I need to restart. That's the only way to even get iChat to launch again.
Ayone Else?

Forgive me but what is the difference between 443 and 5190 (aside from just being a different port number)? I have been having a problem with my iChat disconnecting every 6-12 minutes. I added a suggested crontab entry that runs every minute that just tells iChat to login... but if it disconnects the notification window appears and it doesn't work as well as I would like it to (i.e. stay connected without interruption). I have changed my setting to 443 to see if that helps. Oh yeah, I am using a .mac account instead of a normal AIM address (if that matters).

Why doesn't iPhone connect to the internet when plugged into a computer that has ethernet internet connection?

Also, computers don't work that way either to share a connection like that. Just because you plug a device into a computer doesn't mean it can use it's internet connection that way.
Windows Mobile devices have been able to use their host USB cable to connect to the internet, since at least the year 2000. (And vice versa, more recently.)
It was actually a minor surprise at first that Apple didn't support it.

Why doesn't dialup connection work?

I just bought a MacPro and cannot get a dialup connection to work 90% of the time. My old computer connects every time, but the MacPro hardly ever goes thru, maybe once for every 10 tries. What's up?

If you are using the v.92 dialup protocol try scaling it back to the v.90 protocol. maybe that will give you some better reliability.

Why doesn't the iPad sync time automatically?

It's a simple thing, but the iPad can't do it. The iPad must have it's time set manually, and corrected manually as needed. Grrrrr!

Yes, the WiFi only iPad could periodically sync time with an internet time server (Apple has one). Why it doesn't I don't know.
You can make this suggestion to Apple at http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html

Why doesn't iphoto open in time machine

I am having trouble with my iMac and need to take it to an apple store to be checked out. Before I do that, I want to make sure that iPhoto and all my photos are backed up in Time Machine. However, when I'm in Time Machine I can't click on iPhoto to open it it {down the left hand side}. If I go to iPhoto in applications, it just open up a little box that says iPhoto and doesn't show my pictures.
How do I know for sure that my pictures are backed up on Time Machine?
Thanks!!!

That is NOT how Time Machine was designed to be used. Time machine backs up your files in a proprietary format that is enabled to be reloaded into the main OSX OS if you need to go back to a previous version of a file. Time Machine is NOT designed for you to be able to open Apps such as iPhoto from WITHIN the Time Machine app.
Hope this helps

Why doesn't iChat synch between my iPhone and iPad and iMac ?

I am using iChat on my iMac but the messages won't synch between my iPhone and iPad even though I am signed into my iCloud account on all three devices

HI,
It seems that in Messages Beta you could create a "Start Date" if all old messages were removed from the iOS devices.
It seems no different in Messages. (I used this Method during the Beta period)
Others have reported that turning the Phone Off and On again also creates a "Start Point"
(The two methods are mutually exclusive if you do the above first).

Why does my printer connected through time capsule only print once after powering on then never again?

Hey,
I have a TimeCapsule which is logging in to my wireless network (i.e. it's not extending it, neither is it serving its own network). I have a Brother HL-2030 connected to it (via USB). I have two issues:
* the printer will only print directly after plugging in the USB cable to the TC, but only once. Subsequent attempts to print would not succeed. Disconnecting and reconnecting the USB cable will help, again, only once. The printer works flawlessly when directly connected to my MBP.
* the TimeCapsule is not found by AirPort utility, and neither am I able to apply a software update to it. Configuring it to extend my WLAN does not work reliably.
Does anyone have an idea what might be wrong here?
Regards,
Matthias

Thanks for the hint. I had thought about that, too. It was the easiest to configure the network this way as the modem is provider pre-configured. But I need to see if I can get to bridged mode. There's an additional problem with the location of the device in the building...
The printer had worked through the TC when it was the router (with my previous provider) and served the WLAN. Thus I don't see where the difference should be, particularly as I believe the printer is served via IP and thus it should IMHO not matter if the TC serves the WLAN + device or only the device.

Why doesn't iphone offer most basic features that I can enjoy on any simple device from Nokia or Samsung?

For example:
1 - Sending photos, videos, recordings over bluetooth to any other device. Is it so difficult?
2 - Forwarding sms messages
3 - inserting a contact number in an sms
4 - Assigning any sound file to a contact
these are the first ones that spring to my mind, I'm pretty sure there are more of such lacks.I've been using an iphone 4 for like 5 months already, and i really like this phone, but got to admit that it lacks many things and sometimes it drives me crazy. Why have I paid 1800 turkish liras (about 900 euros), then?

Difficult? No. But it's never been a feature of the iPhone. Probably in an attempt to reduce or at least contain music piracy.
2 - Forwarding sms messages
3 - inserting a contact number in an sms
These are easily done.
4 - Assigning any sound file to a contact
Once you convert the audio file you want to assign to a contact to a ringtone, this is simple. It should take no more than about 2 minutes to do this once you know how. There are a number of free apps that can do this directly on the phone, or you can do it on your computer and sync the ringtones back to the phone with ease.

DLL Call doesn't work the second time

The first time I open the VI, it runs properly. Why doesn't doit the next time I open it.

Dobi,
Please post the dll. I cannot run your code without it.
Also, the problem may be that you cannot call this twice, without first 'closing' the device. You may be trying to use resources that are already in use. This would be the same as opening a daq session that is already in use.
Try that, and if you can't get it working still, post the code or some more information.
Good luck

HT1414 I'm trying to restore from an earlier backup but my iphone only shows the most recent. I'm on Windows Vista and found the backup folder. If I delete the recent files, will it force the iPhone to backup from the next older file? Why doesn't it show

I'm trying to recover a file and the app company said to restore from an earlier backup. My iPhone only shows the most recent backup. I've been searching the net for answers - I found the back up file and date sorted them (over 6mb of files). How can I get my iPhone to restore from an earlier backup?
I am on Windows Vista so I don't have Time Machine.
I have backed up the backup folder so if I mess it up, I have it in a separate place.
Can I just delete all the files with todays date in that backup folder and have it forced to the next oldest date?
Why doesn't the iPhone show a list of the least several backups.
Info:
iPhone 4S
Software version 5.1.1
Backed up to computer through iTunes (not iCloud)

As you backup the iPhone in iTunes, it overwrites the last backup. Files are kept as they are changed, so that would explain how you get different dates in your backup folder. The only backups that are saved and not overwritten are the ones done just prior to a restore. You do have the option to go back in time on a Windows computer, however depending on the last time you set a restore point in Windows, it could be back further than you are willing to go.

Why doesn't the sd card or the usb connect to my mac ????

why doesn't the sd card or the usb connect to my mac plzzzz help meeeeeeeeeee

The reason no one has replied is that you posted in a little-viewed forum for an obsolete Apple software suite. I am asking the Hosts to move you to the MacBook Air forum.
Also these forums are NOT chat rooms so you will seldom get an instant answer. No one here works for Apple; we are end users like you who volunteer on a time-available basis to help our fellow Mac users. Patience is required here.
