Can't get onto ichat. connection timeout. need help

I have been using ichat on my computer for about 9 months now with no real problems, but now I simply cannot get onto my account. My internet connection is working fine, but when I try to get onto my screenname, it tell me that the connection has timed out. I can log onto my friends screenname using ichat on the same computer, but I can't get onto my own. What do I do?

It's AOL. They know about the issue...

  • TS1398 bought a mini and also have an IPAD2  have used ITunes to download all programs to the mini but have NOT BEEN ABLE TO have the connection to the Internet and CAN NOT get any emails. I NEED HELP!!!!!!!

    I thought when I bought a MINI that all I'd need to do is sync up with ITunes to get all apps and setting to the Mini. I was wrong as I can not connnect to the internet and can not get any emails. Have tried just about all suggestions under support  but need to reach out to actual users who may have run into similar prblem. I must be missing something as I have to believe that Apple would make it as simple/easy as possible to connect to the interne. I still have my internet connect with my Ipad2.
    appreciate any help on this one as MY WIFE is driving me crazy as she wants to use the internet with HER MINI!!!
    Thx  Wayne

    Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
    Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts   Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

  • IChat connection. Need help getting it to work. AAAHHHGGG!!!

    Hi Macers
    My sister just bought a mac and we were trying to connect through iChat but it would seem that we missed something in the setup.
    If there is anyone who has solved there iChat connectivity using wi-fi please explain how to do it. I have searched and tried every suggestion to no avail.
    I connect through a D-Link DSL-300G modem and DI-524 router.
    Please reply as ths is driving me nuts.
    Cheers and thanks
    Kaisoboy

    Thanks for the feed back folks.
    I do not have a wireliss modem. the modem is conected to a PC and from there the router for wi-fi is conected.
    I logged into the router setup went to www.portforward.com for instructions followed the instructions for the DI-524 router. I did see the static IP address but did not want to change it from automatic IP for fear of not being able to alow other wireles PC laptops in the hows from working. So what your saying is I need to assign a static IP address to my mac and would I also have to do this to my fathers PC laptop also so that he can use wi-fi. I was also looking on the router setup for the UPnP but did not find it.
    Could you possibly if you have time walk me through this set up process in steps. I am good with computers but I have never done this kind of thing before. :P
    Thanks again and Cheers.

  • What does it mean i can't get online says connection timeout?

    what does it mean that i have a connection timeout.. i cant get online

    It basically means that your Mac's AirPort wireless adapter is unable to connect to or cannot find a Wi-Fi network. Please check out the following Apple Support article for details on troubleshooting wireless connections with your Mac.

  • I updated my ipod touch to ios 5 and now it wont restore and i can't get anything back...need help please!

    I updated to IOS 5 tonight on my ipod touch 4th gen and now it won't restore.  I can't get it to restore from a backup either.  It either says "iTunes could not restore the iPod "____" because the backup session failed or i get error -50.  It appears all of my songs and apps are in iTunes, but I guess I don't know where to go from here to get things back to how I had them before.  Is there a way to access an early backup to try that? or am I going down the wrong path? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    don't ask me why this worked, but it did for me last night.  In iTunes, where your device shows up on the left side, I double clicked on it.  It then allows you to change the name like you can for changing file/folder names.  I changed 1 letter on the name of the ipod and hit enter.  I then right clicked on the new ipod name and chose restore from backup.  My choices for backup was the original name of the ipod only and not the name i had just changed it to.  I told it to go ahead and backup from the old name figuring I would get the same results, but not the case.  It restored it with all app, music and pictures with one exception...all of the settings, email setup and information within the apps was lost.  Atleast that an easier fix than starting all over.  Hope this will work for you guys too with the same issue.

  • My wi fi is connecting up fine on my ipod but i can't get onto the internet

    My wi fi is connecting up fine on my ipod but i can't get onto the internet. My ipod has been working fine until now and i have tried re- setting the network settings and all the other options that have been given but nothing seems to make any difference. If i try to get onto internet at all on my ipod, for instance, facebook and safari it will just come up no internet connection, even when the bar is full at the top. Can anyone help ?

    Despite the WiFi sign at the top you may not really be connected to your WiFi network.
    Your router may not have given your iPod a valid IP address. To check on this go to Settings > Wifi > your network name and touch the ">" to the right to see the network details. If the IP address shown starts with 169 or is blank then your router didn't provide an IP address and you won't be able to access the Internet.
    Sometimes the fix for this can be as simple as restarting your router (remove power for 30 seconds and restart). Next, reset network settings on your iPod (Settings > General > Reset > Reset network settings) and then attempt to connect. In other cases it might be necessary to update the router's firmware with the latest from the manufacturer's support web pages.
    If this problem continues you should test your iPod on some other networks. Since you say your iPod was "working fine" either it or your router may have developed a hardware problem. If the iPod works OK on other networks your router may have a problem.
    If you need more help please give more details on your network, i.e., your router make, model and version, the wifi security being used (WEP, WPA, WPA2), etc.

  • I'm staying at my house in Peru, South America. From my PC laptop I can see my neighbor's wifi service network, but I also have my mini iPad and I can not figure out why I can't get any wifi connection from my area. Is there a setting I need to do?

    Yes, I did try to go on my settings>wifi and was waiting for any wifi signals to pick up, but nothing shows up. But on my PC I get a whole list of networks to choose from. Regarding my neighbor, I already have her password that is why I was able to get it on my PC, the problem is that the mini Ipad is not picking any signal neither can it locate me when I go to maps.
