Hi,
This Users Tip was written to Enable the Reinstall of iChat.
AS it is the app itself rather than the support parts that is missing you should be able to do the "Easy Way" for that app.
Insert the Install Disk.
Drag window large enough to see the Option Installs Folder
Open that and then Launch the Optional installs.mpkg.
Select iChat and select Continue to Install.
This will install iChat at the Install Disk Level.
As iChat gets up dated with certain OS Updates you will need to Download and run the Combo Version of the last OS Update you did.
Download the .dmg.
Expand and launch Installer.
Run it over the top of what you have.
The Users Tip also tells you how to use Pacifist to Open the Install Disk and select various bits.
Obviously this can be used for the other apps you are Missing.
These too, will need you to "Run the Combo" afterwards.

After installing the Security Update 2015-002 many system app icons have switched. How can I fix this?

I Installed the Security Update 2015-002 on March 13 on my 13-inch Macbook Pro (mid 2010) running Yosemite. However after it rebooted many of the system app icons have switched places. For instance: The delete button in finder has the icon for Full Screen (while others are just plain white). And the button for New Message in Mail now shows a search icon. Please see screengrab below.
IS there a way to fix this mess without having to manually change all this?

I have some new info on the issueI thought I'd share with you.
First of all, I've installed Photoshop CC on my SurfacePro (Windows 8) and do not have the lag issue there. It's very similar hardware to my MacBook Pro. So the issue must have something to do with my MacBook.
After a lot of tinkering I discovered that it is my 27" Thunderbolt Display that is causing the brush lag. When I unplug it and only use my built in 13" screen the brush lag is gone. Aha!
I tried every available option in the Performance section but nothing helped. Again, Photoshop CS5 with attached Thunderbolt Display doesn't have a brush lag issue.
I'd be interested to know everyone else's setup who is experiencing this problem.

you would have to restore device to sync with the windows machine. iPods are meant to be monagonmous with a single computer and iTunes library.
If you do restore the device, all of the data will be erased.

My mac osx 10.5 applications have been deleted how do I reinstall them?

Help me! I downloaded a dj software and I deleted it and I think I deleted my applications to open safari and I tunes help!

They cannot be deleted. They may have been moved. Use the spotlight search to launch Settings, and then go to General > Reset > Reset Home Screen Layout.
To get to the spotlight search page, flick your screens to the right until the search screen appears. (It's the leftmost screen.)

After a recent software update my iphoto program no longer responds and freezes the my imac

After a recent software update I opened iphoto and was asked if I would like my photos geographic location used for mapping where photos were taken, I answered no and now Iphoto no longer responds and freezes all computer functions. Unable to force quite application. What can I do?

This is iPhoto for iOS, not OSX. Despite having the same name, they are completely different programs. You should repost your question in the iLife/iPhoto area.

Illustrator tools dropdown is not working after the recent software update

My Illustrator tools dropdown is not working after the recent software update. Any help would much appreciate.

Same problem here. I have a Mac with a recent Yosemite update.

After the recent iPhoto update, all my themes are gone. Now I can't print.

After the recent iPhoto update, all my themes vanished so now i can't print. What the heck?

To re-install iPhoto
1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
2a: On 10.5: Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows: In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
/var/db/receipts/
2c: on 10.7 and later they're at
/private/var/db/receipts
A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
3. Re-install.
If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
If you purchased it on the App Store or have a Recent Mac you can find it in your Purchases List.

Hi, I think I need to update my profile because my computer definitely says it has 10.4.11
I managed to solve the stickies and TextEdit issues by removing Butler in the end.

I have a MBP running 10.6.8 and after the recent iOS update I have not been able to sync my devices. I was able to sync an ipod, but not iphone or ipad. iTunes recognizes my devices, but sync button stays grayed.

I have a older MBP running 10.6.8 and after the recent iOS update I have not been able to sync my devices. I was able to sync an ipod, but not iphone or ipad. iTunes recognizes my devices, but sync button stays grayed. I've changed my USB hub, reinstalled iTunes and run disc cleanup. No luck.

You said that your computer will sync other iPods? Are they iPod touches? Other iPod use different drivers the the touch And iPhone and iPad).
You can try:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
Does it charge? Does the iPod work?
I would try on another computer.
Last, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

If defective and not abused you will walk out with a replacement

HT1218 After a recent iTunes update attempt iTunes no longer functions and the airport extreme base station is not accessable on our computer. We still have wifi but cannot access the base station software.

After a recent iTunes update attempt iTunes no longer functions and the airport extreme base station is not accessable on our computer. We still have wifi but cannot access the base station software.

Thanks for the reply. I appreciate the response. I tried that approach this evening and it didn't work for me. (Technically it worked for me, when I was hardwired into my base station, but would not work for me wirelessly, which is my main issue.)
Again, using the approach you recommended works only if I have my ethernet cable attached to the LAN port so my computer is communicating directly to the base station through the hard wire. I am able to scan for my base station and make setting adjustments normally this way too.
As soon as I disconnect from the LAN port and try to go wireless is where I run into problems. The Base Station's wireless network I created is available to choose in the top right corner of the monitor with all of the other available wireless devices/networks -- but the network I created does not have access to the internet. I am also unable to configure my Base Station wirelessly. When my Airport Utility tries to scan for the Base Station and Network, it cannot find any Apple Wireless Device. It's like the Wireless Network in my base station is not sending out a signal.
Is there a way to resolve this issue?
