Ichat will not open.  it is in my apps folder, but I can not open it to use it  How do I fix?

I have been trying to use the IChat, and can not get it to open or to install.  Had a tech try and re-install the operating system, but, when we went to that screen, it showed that the operating system disc is locked. Can not select it to re-install.  Looking for a way to get this to work.  Has anyone encountered this problem, and if so, what was the cure??

What exactly happens when you try to launch iChat? Are you having problems with any other applications?

    Yes.
    Password doesn't work?
    If so, try resetting it. If the computer is having any other problem, take it  to the Apple store to have it checked out.
    Reset Password starting from Recovery HD
    Start the computer,then press and hold down command and R keys to start into recovery partition.
    When you see the Apple logo, release the keys.
    Wait until  OS X Utilities window shows up.
    Move the mouse to the menubar at the top and click "Utilities", then select "Terminal"
    from the drop down.
    Terminal window will appear.
    Type in   resetpassword   and press enter on the keyboard.
    Leave the Terminal window open.
    Reset Password Utility window will open with Macintosh HD selected.
    Select the user account from the popup menu box.
    Enter a new password.
    Reenter the new password for the user.
    Enter a hint.
    Click the "Save" button.
    Click  in the menubar and select Restart.
    Log in.
    If Keychain dialog box appears, select “Create New Keychain”.
    Best.

  • HT1218 router will not work anymore with new update- how do I fix this?

    I just updated to the current software and now I have no connection. I have tried to reset the airport extreme but I cannot get it to recognize my laptop, Ipad2 and iphone.  I have earthlink as my internet provider.   I have talked with them, but they could not help.  I think that some of the numerical addresses are messed up.  My computer works fine at work on a different airport extreme- so I know that it is not a problem with my laptop. 

    That is because Apps are tied to the apple id that was used to purchase or download it.  So you will have to use your old apple id and password to update the app.
    You can try deleting the app and then downloading it with your new id - not 100% sure this will work.
