Please, Please, Pretty Please; fix this iChat connection issue. I hate it with a passion.

if you turn off internet sharing.. you will run into a lot less errors.

i have almost never had a connection issue - it is most likely due to the way your router is set up.
 
I'm not sure I'm familiar with the issue your experiencing, or at least I haven't noticed it with my iCal yet. What exactly isn't syncing?

Everything was working fine - iCal etc would sync to mobileme and the iphones - then I bought new MacBook - tried to do a first time sync and now sync tells me it can't perform due to inconsistent data in Calendars (Mobileme) - then suggests that I should overwrite mobileme with data from iCal - trouble is this is new iCal with no data yet and all my appointments etc are held on mobileme (as the 2 iPhones continue to sync) and I can't begin to tell how many dates / calendars we are talking here - it would be a nightmare to re enter them all into ical - looking at console log shows that it is trying to update a record that it cannot find

Checking the web reveals that I am not alone here
 
Don't have any issues whatsoever with 10.5.6. Bring on Safari 4 (without the growl and MSN bugs) and Snow Leopard.
 
I have one issue with 10.5.6, it broke one the screen saver. Shell is now a total mess, the 3D graphics do not work. Already had a graphics card replaced as they thought it was the 3D chip on that.

So a major problem as you can tell.
 
Hopefully the 10.5.7 will fix the inability to focking jailbreak. The workaround gets on my nerves!
 
ichat connections

The problem you are coming across with your ichat problems is due to your router. my advise, BUY A NEW ROUTER.

Either your router is old and needs to be updated anyway. or your router is set up to block certain programs or connections. If you have a new router, then change that router for another router like the airport express or extreme. It's a simple fix. Avoid saving $20 on a router and get a airport and that will fix your ichat problems. All that , connect/disconnect multiple times, unable to video chat, always cuts off while on the internet, looses my password, takes long to connect, all of that has to do with the ROUTER. BUT A NEW ROUTER and if you already bought a new linksys or netgear, GET A AIRPORT to assure you'll get ichat to work properly. They work with PC and Mac's.

Good Luck

Or hassle thru changing ports and that should help, but you will be only patching the problem for THAT particular software. My brother had the same issue. All in the past now.

If you want to try changing your ports before you spend $$ on a new router, here is a link to Apples site that tells you what ports are required for iChat. This link is for os x 10.5.x. If you are still on 10.4, there is a link within this document for that.

Here is a link from Apple that list many of their app's port requirements.

If you don't know how to change the ports on your router, look it up in the guide that came with the router, or go to the manufactures support website and find the guide for your model.
 
Vista = The Bush administration
Win7 = Obama

Need I say more? :p

I saw a bumper sticker yesterday:

I used to have a 401k
now I have CHANGE

Cant wait for taxes and inflation to go through the roof so all the zombies wake up and see whats really going on.
 
Still Waiting!

All we have to look forward to in regard to 10.5.7 is a new thread entitled "10.5.7 Release imminent" or "10.5.7 to be released Monday".

Those would be great, just like old times... Just like the last few weeks, the last month..

Or maybe a new seed.


CMON APPLE, GIVE IT UP!

GREAT bumper sticker--sizes things up perfectly......

Eventually [after it's too late] they'll figure it out....

And FTR Winblows 7 is nothing more than Vista II....the "experience" isn't my cup of tea--it's STILL UG-LY and YEARS behind OS X.
 
11pm in the East

It's 11pm here on the East Coast... No 10.5.7 Juno yet.

One hour left... MacLife, this is FAIL (great source there:confused:). Apple, the fact that this is taking so long... EPIC FAIL.

This wifi problem on unibody Macs needs a fix and soon. Although, I can't wait for my new iPhone next month. Please OLED and some great tethering action.:):apple:
