IChat server suddenly stopped, now will not restart

I have a Snow Leopard Server hosting multiple email accounts and websites, file sharing, runing OD, running iCal server, and up until a few days ago running iChat server.  All other functions continue to work normally, but iChat Server simply stopped one day and now won't restart.  Around the same time my external Time Machine hard drive failed (ironic) and I restarted the server in an attempt investigate that failed drive.  About the time of that restart, iChat server stopped working.  Here is the most recent iChat Service Log from attempting to start iChat Server:

Any help would be appreciated.  (I've hashed out, "#", real names)

Thanks, Tim!  I noticed that I did not have access permission to the directory /jabberd.  As a result, I set the system admin user's permissions to read & write for that and all sub files in the directory.  I then tried to restart iChat Server and here's the new error log:
Jan 24 11:15:34 xserve servermgrd[70]: servermgr_jabber[N]: waiting for jabberd to finish startup...

  • 10.6.3 Server, NAT stopped and will not restart

    Everything was working fine the last few weeks. Nothing changed on our server yet NAT stopped working this afternoon and I'm unable to restart. Could an issue with the firewall cause a problem with NAT?
    I can't find a log anywhere that details the NAT process.
    Anybody know where that log file may be?

    Follow up...
    After a server restart NAT started properly and all was fine. Then, a day later, internet access dropped again. Upon arriving at the server, I'm greeted to a login screen (as though the machine restarted on it's own yet failed to completely initiate all services).
    I restarted the machine again, logged in and pulled up the system log. Here's the start of what I found...

  • Syncing downloaded movies from itunes to ipad which then suddenly stops and will not finish the sync stating itunes could not copy  "name of movie" to the ipad because the file could not be written. restored the ipad to factory settings, reinstalled itune

    I have had to format my PC running windows 7, and reset my ipad 1 to factory settings, i then installed latest itunes on the PC authorised the PC and re downloaded several movies via itunes previous purchases, all was well until i tried to sync the ipad to the PC, only some of the movies synced onto the ipad, otheres stalled the sync stating itunes could not copy  "name of movie" to the ipad because the file could not be written. I have to pull the plug on the ipad just to get itunes to unfreeze, but it still will not sync these movies. and one help

    Hi
    I was having the same issue with music and movies but it had been ok before. The sync would freeze on a random file and then i had to take out the USB cable to clear it. After trying all sorts of things i saw someone mentioning about Anti virus and firewalls. I am using McAfee so i disabled it as a test. After this i could sync music and movies without issue!!!!! So in my case the firewall/anti virus was causing a problem. McAfee updates itself a lot so I am guessing something has happened in a recent update that impacted iTunes.I am not sure if this kind of thing is also causing your problem but it sounds very familiar.
    Hope this helps.

  • Error -50  Download stopped and will not restart

    I want 4 Steelers videos.  I successfully downloaded 3 of the 4.
    The last one is 1.90 GB and stopped after downloading 150.1 MB and keeps giving me an Error = -50
    I asked Tech Support and they emailed me some canned response dealing with connectivity - not using common sense that 3 of the 4 downloaded successfully and blaming it on my end.
    Has anyone run across this error -50 and how did you resolve it?  Seems to me it is an error in the file Iam tryign to download.

    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    That link is for the flasher tool, you'll need that to repair the device..
    Here are the steps.. you'll need to follow them pretty accurately:
    turn phone off
    remove battery
    put battery back in
    plug USB cable into computer
    Press and hold down the 'u' button on the keyboard.. don't let it go
    plug USB cable into phone
    wait until the Nokia logo appears, a little USB icon should appear in the top right corner of the screen. the backlight MAY NOT turn on at all
    release the 'u' button
    run the flasher tool: flasher-3.5 --enable-rd-mode
    The flasher prog should run for a moment then finish. If it DOES NOT and sits waiting for suitable device, STOP.. this is bad..
    Ok, if all that went well, now for the repair bit
    unplug the USB from the phone
    The phone will power off or reboot
    If the phone turned off, turn it on with the power button
    let the phone boot up.. it may take some time.. some reports say you might need to enter the date/time again..
    If it doesn't boot STOP.. something has gone bad..
    Ok, if the phone booted ok, finish off
    Turn the phone off with the power button
    remove battery
    reinsert battery
    press and hold the 'u' button
    insert USB cable into phone
    wait until the Nokia logo appears as before
    release the 'u' button
    run the flasher tool again: flasher --disable-rd-mode
    wait for flasher to finish.. if it sits waiting for suitable device STOP.. something has gone wrong.. it shoudl run for a few seconds then stop.. anything else is bad
    Remove USB cable from phone
    phone might restart or turn off.. if it turns off, turn it on..
    Hopefully you're fixed and up and running..
    Let  us know how you get on
    Anyone else reading this, don't just follow the instructions if you're unsure.. ASK someone first.. This proceedure is subject to change in the future when new firmware is released and tools are updated

  • HT1430 I turned my IPad off and now it will not restart.  Apple logo comes up but no other screen.

    I turned my IPad off and now it will not restart.  The apple logo comes up but then it stops????

    Did you try rebooting the iPad?
    Reboot 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 if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
    If that doesn't work, see this.

  • I've got an apple 3TB time capsule.  It was working fine until we moved to a new house.  The day the ISP showed up to upgrade my speed it stopped working.  Now will not pick up signal.  What happened what do I do?

    I've got an apple 3TB time capsule.  It was working fine until we moved to a new house.  The day the ISP showed up to upgrade my speed it stopped working.  Now will not pick up signal.  What happened what do I do?

    What signal is it picking up? Are you joining wireless network? If so don't.. it is really poor way to run things.
    Is it connected to a cable modem? Full router or just a modem type?
    Try a reset?
    Plug in via ethernet.. turn off everything.. wait 5min then restart cable modem.. if that doesn't work, give it a longer off cycle.. 15min or overnight.
    We need more info.

  • My 06' Macbook Pro crashed with vertical, green pixelated lines and now will not advance past the turn-on screen with the apple filled with green lines as well. Then, it says to hold down the power button to restart. Help?

    My 06' Macbook Pro crashed with vertical, green pixelated lines and now will not advance past the turn-on screen with the apple filled with green lines as well. Then, it says to hold down the power button to restart. I have tried several times to get it past this point but tnothing helped.
    I have an appointment at the Apple store today, but was wondering : will all of the information and files on my desktop be lost? Or is this a logic board problem?
    Any help is much MUCH appricated.

    I'm not sure, if you're out of warrenty it'll cost quite a bit for the replacement of the logic board replacement...unless you have apple care. you could ask apple to try and recover your hard drive but i'm not sure.

  • System upgrade on MacBook Pro stopped and my MacBook Pro will not restart.

    Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
    1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
    If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer.  Proceed with reinstalling OS X.  Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files.  After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
    Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.
    If you are unable to get it working using the above, then you will need to try this:
    Clean Install of Snow Leopard
    Be sure to make a backup first because the following procedure will erase
    the drive and everything on it.
         1. Boot the computer using the Snow Leopard Installer Disc or the Disc 1 that came
             with your computer.  Insert the disc into the optical drive and restart the computer.
             After the chime press and hold down the  "C" key.  Release the key when you see
             a small spinning gear appear below the dark gray Apple logo.
         2. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue
             button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
             After DU loads select the hard drive entry from the left side list (mfgr.'s ID and drive
             size.)  Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.  Set the number of
             partitions to one (1) from the Partitions drop down menu, click on Options button
             and select GUID, click on OK, then set the format type to MacOS Extended
             (Journaled, if supported), then click on the Apply button.
         3. When the formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer.  Proceed
             with the OS X installation and follow the directions included with the installer.
         4. When the installation has completed your computer will Restart into the Setup
             Assistant. Be sure you configure your initial admin account with the exact same
             username and password that you used on your old drive. After you finish Setup
             Assistant will complete the installation after which you will be running a fresh
             install of OS X.  You can now begin the update process by opening Software
             Update and installing all recommended updates to bring your installation current.
    Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.
    And, if this doesn't help, then the HDD is failing or has failed.

  • TS3274 ipad stopped working and shutdown will not restart

    Ipad stopped working and shutdown will not restart.  I synced and updated system software about an hour before problem started.  The Ipad had about 60% battery life remaining when it went dark.

    Have you tried a reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds, after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

    Help! Installing updates an error occurred now my MacBook Pro will not restart. "Unable to find driver for this platform"

    Did you try more than once? If so:
    Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks without erasing drive
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Mountain Lion or Mavericks
    OS X Mavericks- Reinstall OS X
    OS X Mountain Lion- Reinstall OS X
    OS X Lion- Reinstall Mac OS X
         Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet
                     if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
