IChat login problem. Anyone know how to fix it?
I've got iChat 4 and it usually works just fine for me with my AIM account but for some reason today every time i try and log in it first appears like it's logged in successfully but doesn't show any buddies online when they are and then a few seconds later it starts connecting & disconnecting over and over until i get a iChat Connection Alert saying:
Could not connect to AIM
you have attempted to login too often in a short period of time. Wait a few minutes before trying to login again.
I then wait for a while and try and log in again but the same thing keeps happening and i haven't the slightest idea how to stop this from happening.
Does anyone know how to stop this from happening?
At this stage there seems to be three levels of this problem.
1) You have Logged in Too many times is normally solved by deleting com.apple.iChat.AIM.plist and restarting iChat
2) The extreme is to have no displayed Buddy List despite looking like you are logged in. This require ichat to be Quit - Activity Monitor used to Force Quit iChatAgent as it does not quit with iChat - The deletion of both com.apple.iChat.AIM.plist and com.apple.iChatAgent.plist
3) Anything else is sort of in between and should get away with just the double .plist deletion.
The .plists are in User/(your account)/Library/Preferences
Restart iChat afterwards

Since upgrading to IOS 8.1.2 on my iPad3, I cannot send/receive emails from either of my Apple or Verizon email accounts. I confirmed that my internet connection is working. Does anyone know how to fix this problem or how to go back to IOS 8.1.1?

Re: iTunes has stopped working. Why?

Resolved!
After contacting Apple, I received a reply from their engineers:
Copy QTMovieWin.dll from: C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
to: C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes
And that did the trick.

I'm trying to connect to my home wifi with my imac gh5. After I enter the password it says connection timeout or password incorrect. I know there's no issue with the connection but I don't know what else to do. Does anyone know how to fix this problem?
What is the make & model of your home Wi-Fi router that you are attempting to connect your G5 iMac to? Which exact model of iMac do you have?
What wireless security type is your router using: WEP, WPA, or WPA2? If you temporarily disable wireless security, can the iMac connect to it now? -

My itunes ends up being so out of date becuase I can never upgrade it.
I have a sports kit and want to make sure I am using the most uptodate version
I managed to delete the old version, just in case it was the fact it was about 10 versions out of date that was the problem but now I can't reinstall it at all......

My phone app freezes and when i press on contact either it freezes or does nothing. Anyone know how to fix this problem? Also messaging app crashes. ANOTHER NEW PROBLEM: I can't receive calls either.
Try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again. You will not lose any data by resetting, but it can cure some glitches.
If this does not help, setting it up as new device would be the next step:

My iphone dosen't doesn't make key tone sounds anymore when I write a text message or when I want to dial a phone number I don't know how to fix this problem, I don't hear the clicking noise anymore does anyone know how to fix this problem?And all the sounds on my phone are on, even the keyboard clicks.
Try restarting your iPhone by holding down the on/off and the home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo, double check the volume button just in case. If you still can't hear the tones go into your settings>sounds and make sure the options are on.

For some reason Safari and App store won't open anymore. Everytime I try to open them they crash and it says it's because of the webkit2 plug-in. Anyone know how to fix this problem?
If you are getting an 'invalid security code' message then is the address on your iTunes account exactly the same (format and spacing etc) as on your credit card bill : http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1646 ? If it is then you could try what it says at the bottom of that page :
If the issue persists, contact your credit card company and verify that they and any company they use to process credit card authorizations have the correct information on file.
And/or try contacting iTunes support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Express Lane, then iTunes > iTunes Store -
