ICHAT won't open up at all when I click on the Widget

I have tried re-installing iChat but it still won't work. Any ideas what I can do to make it work?
I also have previously posted on the iChat form but it was for ver 3.0 and earlier so thought this might be a better site for ver 4. Tried the suggestion given but they didn't work. Thanks!

For anyone who happens to read this......I finally gave up and waiting on line for a live
Tech. He had me reset my system and pRam. Then it worked. Wish the instructions
within the Apple site were more detailed and helpful.
As you can tell I'm very frustrated with this new system. It doesn't seem to be as
user friendly as I thought.

My Images won't open in Photoshop CS5 when I click on Edit in Lightroom - even though this option has been selected? To edit in Photoshop I have to export image from Lightroom then import into Photoshop. I have other programmes such as NIK and if I wish to edit in these everything works fine.

Same here. I've never had trouble with this function before.
It opens the Photoshop application with all the menus/windows, but it never opens the actual image I chose to work on.
I'm on a Mac, using OS X Yosemite, 10.10.1 Lightroom is version 5.7 Photoshop is CS5, version 12.0.4
FWIW, I also can't automate>Photomerge ... . Makes me think Photoshop, not Lightroom, is all wacky. I tried dumping PS preferences

Try reset ipad. Hold down Sleep and Home button for about 10 seconds until you see the Apple logo.

My firefox won't create a new tab when I click on the tab. It will create a new window. It worked fine till this morning. I've rebooted several time to see if that would make a difference. It doesn't.

I can only create tabs by clicking on a link in an email or a program or a link in the window I am viewing. It will NOT create a new tab when I click on the tab to create a new tab, nor will it create a new tab when I right click on the tab & click on create a new tab. I'm used to using tabbed browsing all the time & it's driving me nuts. HELP!
I have not downloaded any new updates on any software or downloaded any new software in the hours before this started happening.
Just to clarify about my original question. I meant to say that firefox will create a new window when I right click & click on create a new window but will not create a new tab when I click on create a new tab. I think what I wrote may have been somewhat confusing.

Do you have that problem when running in the Firefox SafeMode? <br />

How do I re-enable open or save setting when I click on the download file?

My initial Firefox download setting was this: When I click on the link I would like to download, it asks me whether I want to '''open the file or save''' the file. Underneath, there was a check box to click on, in case you do not want the dialogue box to come up again. I clicked on the check box once, because I had to do a repeated download of a number of pictures. I would like to get back on 'asking open or save' dialogue box. I cannot find how to re-enable this function. Please help!

By the way, a few other things you probably know:
(1) The setting to keep the downloads list displayed after a download is here:
orange Firefox button ''or'' classic Tools menu > Options > General
Check "Show the Downloads window..." and ''uncheck'' "Close it..."
(2) You can always show the list by pressing Ctrl+j
The mimeTypes.rdf file isn't particularly relevant to this problem; it affects what application Firefox uses to open a particular type of file.
However, there is a database file which stores your download history which might be corrupted. You could rename that file and have Firefox start building a new one.
(1) Open your personal settings (AKA Firefox profile) folder
Help (or Alt+h) > Troubleshooting Information > "Show Folder" button
(2) Switch back to Firefox and exit the program (e.g., File > Exit)
(3) Wait a few moments for Firefox to finish updating files in your settings folder, then rename '''downloads.sqlite''' to something else, like downloads.old. Alternately, you can delete the file.
(4) You're done with your profile folder and you can restart Firefox now.
Any improvement?

I cannot open a new tab when I click on the + to add a new tab so I can't have multiple tabs open. How do I fix this problem?

On my home page, I have it up and I want to open a new tab. When I click to open a new tab, nothing happens. How can this be fixed?

Hello lsmalls787, '''try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings, disables most add-ons (extensions and themes).
If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:
*In Firefox 29.0 and above, click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click Help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
* On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode".<br>
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help others with the same problem.
thank you

Firefox doesn't load at all when i click on the icon on desktop, any advice?

it did work and I have no idea why it stopped working. I click on the desktop icon and the hour glass is there for only 2 seconds and nothing else happens. I have had to start using IE but much prefer mozilla. Any ideas how to fix this? I have done several systems restores but it's not worked at all. Simone

Did you create a Bootcamp partition? Did you install Windows? Holding the option key while booting does not start Windows it shows a boot menu where you can select the operating system to boot.

I have Compaq computer and Firefox 5 doesnt open at all when i click on the icon. why?

i tried uninstalling it but it did absolutly nothing. i have internet explorer also installed, but it was never a problem before.

Okay, launch iTunes... does it work?
If so, in Edit > Preferences > Advanced is the option to "prevent syncing of iDevices" selected?
Another possibility, in Control Panel > Default Programs > Change Auto Play Settings > what is the system set to do when an iPhone is connected?

For instance, if you are on BES, then you need to go see your BES admins as they are in control. If you are on BIS, then there may be resolution steps you can attempt:
1) Register HRT:

Ever since i downloaded skype to chat with a friend with a pc my ichat won't open

ever since I downloaded skype to video chat with a friend with a pc my ichat won't open - suggestions?

Hi,
So the DOCK looks like this ? (Or at least the Lion version of that)
The Menu Bar Icon looks like this ?
Ok if the App is open and you click once on the icon (Speech Bubble with Camera) in the DOCK all that will happen is that any iChat Window will come to the front.
This of course does need there to be an Open iChat Window.
Can you access the iChat Menu itself and Preferences from there ?
In the accounts section does it list any Accounts apart from the Bonjour one ?
In the Account info tab (If there is more tan one tab) does it say Use this Account and is the check box ticked ?
If before quitting iChat you close all the Windows including the Buddy List and then Quit iChat it will remember the Window state when you start it up again.
In fact the Window menu will tell you which Accounts are Logged in and these (if more than one) should match the "Use this Account" ones in the iChat Preferences.
Using the red button only "Hides" the Buddy List it does not log it out or Quit the app.
Does the Window menu list any Account like this pic does ?
(Example from iChat 4 with the Chax Add on (more Menu items) icons)
Does the Menu Bar icon (Second pic above) show you any Buddies in the drop down you see ?
This is my drop down menu for iChat 4 when iChat is Off
As you can see it says it is Off Line.
Selecting "Available" does nor launch the app for me either as it does not know which of the 6 Screen Names I usually Login is the one I want to be "Available"
I can understand the Menu (Drop Down) may have changed in iChat 6.
Nothing you have added in the last two posts indicates to me that Skype is in any way responsible (Not that I would normally wnaty to defend it)
Neither does it point to anything but a normal functions of iChat if you close it down in a certain way.
Also check the System Preferences > General Pane in Lion (it is called Appearance in earlier versions)
This has a new setting that can set for all App the ability to remember which windows were open the next time the app is launched. (i.e if a graphics app had a pallet open this would be remembered. However if all windows are closed but the app is still running when Quit this "windowless State" would be the one remembered)
(What is does do for iChat is return the "Remember Open Chats on Quit" from iChat 4 that got lost in iChat 5)

Apps and movies won't open under my old itunes msn id, but the newer iCloud id presents no problem. i've reset the phone a number of times. is there away to get all my previous purchases from my old account transfered to the newer iCloud account?

i now have three Apple Store accounts. The first was when I signed up for mobileMe ending in "me." The second ending in "msn" And now the third ending in,"icloud"
The first two seemed to be linked and i would get notifications to update even when i wasn't signed into that account. All the apps downloaded worked just fine on my Iphone4 whether they were downloaded using my iphone or whether they were downloaded from my macbook pro no matter which account they were downloaded from. Now since i started using icloud and after a number of restores my Apple id under "msn" downloads on the apps and my movies all purchased from itunes won't open up. All the other id's apps open up just fine. I've reinstalled itunes, deleted all the apps under the msn account and tried to redownload on both my iphone and my laptop but, no sucess.
I think the only way to get the apps that i've paid for previously is the see if itunes could move my previous purchases from one account, "msn", to my "icloud" account. has anyone else had a problem like this and how can I makethis happen?

We are fellow users here on these user-to-user forums, you're not talking to iTunes Support nor Apple - I've asked the hosts to remove your email addresses from your post (it's not a good idea to post personal info on any public forum).
Is the old account a completely different iTunes account, or is it just a previous primary email address on the same account ? If it's a different account then all content that you download from the store is tied to the account that downloaded it, so only that old account will be able to download updates to its apps.
If it's the same account, just a previous primary email address, then what id shows at the bottom of the Featured tab in the App Store app on your phone ? You could try tapping on that and log out of it and then log back in with the updated version and see what id then shows for updates.

When I try to open the Iphoto it keeps on asking for the software update but when I click on the software update tab, it says that all updates are up to date. I still cant open the Iphoto, what should I do?

How old is your Mac? If it's very recent you need to update via the App Store
If you purchased at the App Store you need to update via the App Store
Otherwise you update via Softare Update
If you have moved iPhoto from the default location (i.e. into a Folder) then the updater won't find it. Move it back.
If you have renamed iPhoto, the updater won't find it. Change it back.

Can I have a Mavericks disc mailed to my house? I had trouble downloading it through the App Store, and now it won't do anything at all when redownloading it.

Apple doesn't create installation disks for OSX 10.7 and later. You can create your own disk/USB bootable installer, but this requires downloading the installation package from the app store first.
1) Make sure you have a stable internet connection. Try directly connecting via ethernet port, versus Wifi, if you are experiencing a weak Wifi Signal or intermediate loss of connectivity
2) From the App Store, go to the Menu Bar, Store > Sign out.
3) Navigate to the /Applications folder and drag the partially completed download of the installer to the trash.
4) Open the App store, sign back in, and redownload Mavericks.
