to work. We can't understand how it would work the first time, barely work the second, and now we can't get it to do anything. It says it is a communcation error 8 and it also says the chat won't work because I am not responding. The chat looks like it will start but just thinks until the error message pops up.

starting a video conference in iChat is certainly annoying, but luckily there's an easy fix. Upon upgrading to Mac OS X Leopard the day it came out this past ichat communication error did not receive response October, I was pleasantly surprised that I didn't run into any of the expected issues that go along with installing a new operating system… except one annoying iChat error that seemed impossible to figure out. After doing a little research it appeared a lot of people were (and still are) experiencing this annoyance, which makes me wonder why almost a year later Apple hasn't addressed https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3899453?start=0&tstart=0 it in a 10.5 maintenance update yet. Users who attempt to enter into a video conference with a friend may be greeted with any number of errors: “There was a communication error during your chat.” “User cancelled the connection.” “Did not receive a response from user.” This can occur whether you initiate or join the video chat, have your firewall on or off, or set your http://www.macyourself.com/2008/08/28/ichat-video-conferencing-fails-with-communication-error-in-leopard/ router's ports to be wide open. In short, absolutely nothing makes a difference. The fix, however, lies where you may least expect it (I certainly didn't think to look there). Disable internet sharing to fix iChat video conferencing error If you go into System Preferences and click the Sharing button, you'll see a list of services and devices your Mac is currently set to share. Towards the bottom of the list, you'll find Internet Sharing. This setting is commonly used for virtualization software such as Parallels or VMWare. And while enabling it may be necessary to get an internet connection in virtual machines, iChat seems to not play nice with it. By un-checking the box next to Internet Sharing and turning off this service while you are video chatting, your connection issues should disappear. When you're done making goofy faces and pretending you're on the moon using Leopard's entertaining video backdrops, you can go back into System Preferences and turn Internet Sharing back on. If you don't use other software that requires it to be enabled, you might just want to leave it turned off all the time and never have to worry about it
Fix some iChat connection problems Apr 18, '12 07:30:00AM • Contributed by: kirkmc There are days when I cannot connect to iChat's servers - well, actually to the AIM servers that iChat uses. The fix is simple http://hints.macworld.com/article.php?story=20120417033810112 yet odd. I use SSL with iChat, and all it takes to get the connection is to turn it off. Go to iChat > Preferences > Accounts, click on your account, then click on the Server http://smallbusiness.chron.com/troubleshooting-ichat-aim-audio-chat-39080.html Settings tab. You must be offline to make changes here. If you have Use SSL checked, uncheck it, then connect. Disconnect, then reconnect it, if you still want to use SSL. I don't know why this communication error works, but it does. • Currently 4.00 / 5 You rated: 1 / 5 (5 votes cast) [15,270 views] Hint Options Printable Hint Format Subscribe to 'macosxhints.com application tips' Fix some iChat connection problems | 2 comments | Create New Account Newest First Oldest First Flat Nested No Comments Threaded Click here to return to the 'Fix some iChat connection problems' hint The following comments are owned by whoever ichat communication error posted them.

[ Reply to This | # ] Fix some iChat connection problems Authored by: Ralph Johns on Jun 19, '12 11:28:49AM Hi, iChat has always needed and manual reconnection to re-establish a lost SSL Connection. Since AIM introduced the option (Or rather it was added to the AIM side of iChat) the SSL servers AIM have had do not seem to maintain the same connection status as the regular AIM servers (i.e Drop outs are more frequent). One "Fix" is to turn SSL Off. The other is to Log the Account/Screen Name off the Aim servers Fully (iChat Preferences Untick "Use this Account") then Log back In again. Variants such as Logging in without SSL and then Logging Out and turning SSL On again can help when a Connection has been Lost due to external factors (you lost your internet Connection) due to the fact the iChat AIM.plist (com.apple.iChat.AIM.plist) will hold info about the Logged in state when it is in fact NOT Logged in. This "mismatch" of data between you a
