Messages can not send files
I tried power off to solve a problem with the Messages/iChat for 6 months now and I hope the Apple community might have a solution. We have an office with a mixture of Mac under OS X (based on capabilities) 10.6.8 (off 10), 10.10.5 (2 for those who hate the model) and 10.11.4 (2). We use Hello messages to send text messages, video chat and send small files (usually images) internally around the office. About 6 months ago Messages/iChat lost the ability to send files. Everything works fine (except General bugs of windows mobile / endangered and buddies on the machines of Yosemite/model). On the senders end you get no notification that the transfer has failed, or that you get a small 'I' icon in the window of conversations that draw attention to the failure. The same thing in the 'File transfer' window, sometimes the file will be marked as 'sent', or 'fail', in both cases, the receiver sees the transfer as it is 'impossible' or it crashes with a progress bar that changes to 'fail' if interact you with the download arrow or double-click on the file icon.
Various forums to suggest solutions, that everything I tried:
- Quit and restart Messages.
- Restart the computer.
- Deleting of plist.
- Make sure UPnP is enabled on the router.
- Make sure UPnP is not enabled on the router (learned to love these weird problems, everyone has a different idea)!
- Ensure ports 443 (Messages), 5190 (UDP for Messages), 5297, 5298 (UDP Hello) and 5298 (TCP Hello) are all open.
- Compress images.
- Force quit "matches" in the activity monitor.
- Ensuring that no one is Little Snitch active.
- Ensuring that there is no firewall on.
- Ensuring that user names are not too long (there was a suggestion Hello has an internal deadline that could result in names are identical coupe).
- Make sure that OS X is updated (this persisted for several updates now).
There is a guy named Ralph Johns (UK) on Apple's Support forums, which has been troubleshooting this kind of problem with iChat/Messages with various posters since at least 2011. Seems to know his stuff, but has not been able to find a solution for everyone. Posters have tried swapping routers, used wireless instead of ethernet (or vice versa) and even two bad guidance computers connected together via a simple switch, so I am not convinced that there is a network problem.
Anyone have any ideas?
Hello
I've done it since 2004 in fact.
Re: -.
Ensure ports 443 (Messages), 5190 (UDP for Messages), 5297, 5298 (UDP Hello) and 5298 (TCP Hello) are all open.
IMessages Login using port 443 (made the AIM Login today and Yahoo if you have configured the account)
Swaps the GOAL to use port 5190 (UDP when this file transfers).
The other three ports lists are listed as being necessary by Hello but use Little Snitch myself I was never able to prove that a similar thing on behalf of the GOAL and Exchange port during the basic move IM chat to those containing photos of cats.
Re: -.
Ensuring that no one is Little Snitch active.
Little Snitch will block (if you tell) the processes that you cannot associate with Messages as such.
It's pop up you should see if you transfer files with the iMessages account. (Note the server and port).
Why they have put in place a different process instead of use the same AIM, Jabber and Hello use. It has a slightly different name.
I tried to send pictures on PURPOSE to my MacBook Pro that uses iChat 5.0.3
I have also tried to send using Hello from iMac MacBook Pro and cannot operate.
However the Hello from the MacBook Pro to the iMac strangely works.
The version of iChat says that the File Transfer window expected FRO me (in the iMac) to meet start sending in trying to use AIM.
However, the Chat window in iChat 5.x.x watch separately a message from AIM servers saying that the AIM Proxy did not work and try again and it make no changes to the file transfer window.
2nd attempt to use iChat 5.x.x Hello also failed.
It seems to be no reason why it fails.
Re: -.
Ensuring that user names are not too long (there was a suggestion Hello has an internal deadline that could result in names are identical coupe).
Hello items in the sidebar of finders tend to take the name of system preferences > sharing
The ID Hello buddy would then map My user on the name of the computer remote computer@the
Possibly the naming conventions have changed over time, but I don't normally have questions (the MacBook Pro doesn't seem like spaces or apostrophes when I named it wherever the iMac running OS version much later when appointed allows them).
However as I had them connected should not be the issue.
Which can be a problem is to name them all Macintosh or the Admin according to the naming process, that you can use and if a Diskimage is used to make them all have the same applications and settings.
UPnP occurred as iChat 3 and 4 used so several ports you couldn't open them all in Port Forwarding set ups.
Video and Audio conversations only used 22 ports
GOAL was three
Hello supposed to use 3 in the Apple Documentation
Jabber claimed to need at least one, but was actually 2 to cover the SSL connections.
See using iChat with a firewall or a NAT - Apple Support router
Two things that you don't mention that you have tried.

Repair permissions appeared in disk utility in El Capitan and was always decried as useful in many settings, while others swore by it.
Finally, you might want to watch and read and write permissions.
It has become much more complicated with some applications such as Messages can be sandbox which adds several layers of reading and writing of files you need also to have access to write even the .plists
I'd take a peek at this thread and useful (Orange) marked post-test and resolved green one if necessary.
The Original message is followed by the fixed one but one useful by that you should start is then displayed.

Original title: the scanner driver update problems.
Problem: I am trying to install a driver for an Epson scanner update. I get the error message: could not copy files. Make sure that the target disk is not read-only.
I'm running Windows XP Home edition. Scanner is an Epson Perfection V500 Photo.
What I did:
- A release with the support of Epson. They tell me that I have the admin rights. However, I am the administrator and log on as administrator
- I downloaded the epson driver update, which is an executable zip file. I right-click on the file, select Run As..., opt to run it as an admin user, enter my password and select run. The files are decompressed, but at some point in the installation, I get the message "couldn't cop files. Make sure that the target disk is not read-only. (Target is C:\)
- Furthermore, I installed this driver successfully on my other computer that is running Windows XP Professional
Why not copy the driver files?
Hi Passport35,
You can try the following steps and check if it helps.
Method 1:
You can try running the fixit article and following cjheck, if it helps.
Diagnose and solve the program installation and uninstallation problems automatically
Method 2:
If the previous step fails then I suggest that scan you SFC on the computer that would be a system file corrupt on the computer search and replace.
a. click Start, click Run, type cmd in the Open box and then click OK.
b. at the command prompt, type sfc/scannow, and then press ENTER.
Note: the scan may take a while, so be patient. Windows allows to fix corrupt or missing files it finds. If the information of the installation CD is required to fix the problem, you may be asked to insert your Windows XP installation CD.
Wait for the analysis of complete and then check if you can install the drivers.

In Windows Mail, I can not send or forward emails to myself
Hello
Recently I can not send or forward emails to myself. I use Windows Vista Home Premium and Windows Mail. My Windows Mail comes through Verizon ISP. The emails I send or transmit to myself are in my Inbox from Verizon, but they do not come in my Inbox Windows, even if it shows that I have "new message". Even when I try to send my Verizon Inbox to myself, the email will not come, but it will tell me that I have new messages.
Can you help me?
Thank you.
Nadia Macheska
Well, babacar, you were lucky that Verizon was trying to help out you. When I called AT & T, they told me that was a problem of software 3rd party, they could not help me, and I should call Microsoft. Like you, I am on disability and can't afford to pay the costs of assistance. So, it is certainly a problem of Microsoft. Maybe on one of the updates it I screwed up.

I have a question regarding windows mail. I was send and receive mail with no problems until last Thursday. I can still receive mail, but I can not send. My email is with bellsouth.net and comes in my computer through windows Messaging. I spent an hour and a half on the phone with bellsouth, and they say that the problem is with my windows mail. I tried to use a restore date, and that did not help either. I will post a copy of this message, as I keep getting. Your server suddenly put an end to the connection. The possible causes for this include server problems, network problems, or a long period of inactivity. Object 't', counts: 'mail.bellsouth.net', server: 'mail.bellsouth.net', Protocol: SMTP, Port: 25, secure (SSL): no, error number: 0x800CCC0F thanks for any help.Sometimes, WinMail settings get screwed up and you must remove the account and then add it back back. Make sure first that the antivirus software not interfere (see www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3). Delete your account completely, then close WinMail. Then compact and repair the database of WinMail (see www.oehelp.com/WMUtil/). Add your account to mail back once again, and then make sure you have the correct settings under Tools | Accounts | Mail | Properties | Servers and | Advanced to what AT & T Specifies to WinMail (or OE). Then see if it works.

BlackBerry smartphones can not send SMS all showing pending
I composed a few SMS messages. After having worked very well until today, for some reason any, although a message can't send anything now. What I did / I forgot to do? Ive only had the phone for 4 days and have to say that I love him, but it's really annoying! Help! All of my connections are on and I'm currently at about one meter of my broadband connection!
Had had enough and took my phone shop Vodafone. They gave me a replacement SIM, after verifying that all my settings were correct. When they took my old SIM, they commented "oh, my dear, you have an old SIM you don't have it" [the story of my life!]. Inserted the replacement SIM card and went home. Found that I could get only SOS via the phone and SMS messages could not be sent to all them [rather than be left as "pending" as they were before]. Technical support phoned and nice lady spoke to me through the authentication of SIM [seems it didn't had not been 'authenticated' entirely by the store], turned phone off, removed and reinserted new SIM and switched back on. And that is, all flashed in life!
Now also supported top and syncronised my old palm PDA to the blackberry via Outlook - everything is going very well and now in market! Next problem - will not work quite how to transfer my documents/spreadsheets, but this is the problem of the future!
