Bonjour iChat messages never arrive

I have a client who is having issues with Bonjour iChat. She can see the other Bonjour users on the network in iChat and send them a chat, but it never arrives on the other end. Other users can send her a chat and she receives it, but if she responds, the sender will not see the response. She is the only user in the office this happens to and her setup is not that different than the other computers. The machine is an iMac 8,1 (early 2008) 20" with Mac OS X 10.6.8. She is connected to the network by Ethernet. This is a Bonjour problem since it affects both iChat and Adium. She has all of the latest updates, and her AIM chatting works as expected. This affects only Bonjour. 
I have done the following to try to fix this:
repaired permissions
removed and recreated iChat preferences
removed caches and restarted
removed preferences and caches and restarted
tried a new user and the problem still occurred
tried the root user and the problem still occurred
reinstalled the 10.6.8 Combo updater
I really don't want to have to wipe the machine and start from scratch, but it is looking like that is what I am going to have to do at this point unless anyone has any great ideas.

HI,
Weird.
I have a MacBook Pro running Snow Leopard (As it can't run Lion)
I have looked at this .plist with OmniOutliner and it only contains details of the Routers I have had the MacBook Connected to.
Now I do not use DHCP over Wifi at my Home and the Mac has a Manually (Static) issued IP address.
I did recently give talk on iChat at  Mac Users Group and the details of their Base Station and an iPhone I was briefly connected to for Internet were still listed. (I was able to judge by the Dates listed).
However deleting them in System Preferences > Network (linked to a Location) did not delete them in this .plist
As this .plist does not seem to be rewritten on changes to the System Preferences > Network it would seem it may be holding on to some other info that is effecting your Bonjour service.

    Well, that unformatted and unindented code is hard to read, so I may be wrong, but I don't see where you call the Transport.send() method.

  • Caller ID Verification Text Message NEVER Arrives

  • Messages sent with .MAC never arrive

    Over the past couple months i have noticed that people arenot receiving email that i have sent with my Email Only Account. I basically created another email only account in addition to my main .MAC account and notice that when i send email from that account it never arrives to the appropriate recipient. Does anyone have any thoughts why this may be happening? I have checked "Sent" mail and the message is in that folder. Weird.

    Hello,
    I have my normal .MAC account. If you go to the Home page and look at the Account Setting you have the option to add an "Email Only Account" for $10 which will only allow that user email, not iDisk, etc. It's this account that is having issues when email is sent. Does that help?

  • I have tried to get iCloud - I get the message that a verification email has been sent to me but it never arrives - can anyone help?

    Can anyone help me to get iCloud on my new Mac - one message has said that I do have an account and another message tells me that a verification email has been sent but it never arrives - where has it gone?

    Then again, we may NOT benefit from the 'New' Instructions! My email is Verified (see Pix)
    Yet on the iPod the email is NOT Verified AND the Intstuctions to VERIFY NEVER COME!
    So, where is the Benefit of the NEW Instructions?

  • ICloud emails sent from apple mail or iPhone 3gs never arrives, works fine when sent from iCloud website

    The ony place I have been able to send and receive email since the launch of iCloud has been the icloud website. I wasn't able to send email from my iphone 3gs or apple mail at all until today, now it finally appears to let me send email but it never arrives to its destination.
    I can send an email from the icloud website without issue, and email sent from my icloud account using my iphone 3gs and apple mail seems to send fine and without error but who knows where it goes.
    Has anyone else experienced this issue?
    Thanks!
    Charles

    I figured out how to fix it... if anyone else has this problem, go to Outlook > Preferences > Accounts > select the IMAP account > Advanced > Folders and for "Store Sent Messages in this Folder:" select "Sent Messages (Server)."

  • Emails never arrive to BT inbox

    Sorry in advance as this may be a bit long winded, a couple of weeks ago one of my clients who is with BT and has a BT email address phoned to ask why I had not emailed him as promised.  I had, so sent it again but it didn't arrive, tried with a different email account still the same so tried a hotmail account and still the same.  All these emails where being sent from Apple mail running 10.9 so tried from my iPad, iPhone still no joy.  Sent one from Outlook 2011 on the same computer and same internet connection so same external IP address which is my own personal account not my work one and it arrived.
    My brother is with BT so started doing some testing and at 1st it appeared that an email sent from any account from any version of Apple mail never arrives.  I tried several computers running various versions of Mac OS, tried iPads and Iphones.   I then set the same work account up in Outlook and it arrived so I started thinking it was an Apple mail issue.
    So I configured the work email in Outlook with my work signature and all of a sudden the mails stopped arriving to any BT address.  More testing and it seems that with any email account with any type of signature sent to any BT email address my mails never arrive but remove the signature from outlook or Apple Mail and they arrive.  It is only BT clients having this issue everyone else seems to be getting my emails.
    We checked the spam folders etc. and no sign of my email, if I enter my email address in the safe senders in webmail then they arrive but I can't ask every client with BT to do this.
    It all used to work fine but this has suddenly started to happen, I have spent ages working out why the emails don't arrive.  I get no bounce back message, no error message and if other people are copied in they get the email just BT users don't.
    I have tried a plain text signature but get the same result, I have tried pasting a signature in at the end and get the same result.  I am baffled.

    BT's new email partner Openwave/Critical Path seem to be overly agressive with their anti-spam measures. There's not much anybody here can do to remedy that unfortunately except keep complaining and hope that something eventually gets done.

  • Icloud keychain verification code text never arrives

    I've been going through this process over and over and I never get the text message I need to get this rolling. It's making me crazy I've tried started from my iPhone and my mac same result no code by text message ever arrives. ios 8.1.3 and OS 10.9.5

    Hello michelesapple,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    From your post I understand you are unable to receive the iCloud Keychain verification code.  I'm sorry this is causing so much frustration, but it is understandable as it's a great feature to use.  To troubleshoot this specific issue where you're not receiving the SMS, please follow the steps below.
    If you didn't receive the verification code via SMS
    Make sure that you have a strong cellular network connection on your phone.
    Make sure that your phone number can get SMS messages. To check, ask someone to send you a text message.
    Make sure that the correct phone number is associated with your account:
    On your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, tap Settings > iCloud > Keychain > Advanced. (In iOS 7, tap Settings > iCloud > Account > Keychain.) Make sure the phone number under Verification Number is correct. If not, enter another phone number. 
    On your Mac, choose Apple menu > System Preferences. Click iCloud, then click Options next to Keychain. (In OS X Mavericks or earlier, click iCloud, then click Account Details.) Make sure the phone number under Verification number is correct. If not, enter another phone number.
    If you can't access a device that has iCloud Keychain enabled, contact Apple Support and verify your identity to get help setting up iCloud Keychain.

    Have a good one,
    Alex H.

    http://www.businessobjects.com/campaigns/forms/downloads/edge/smallbusiness/
    and downloaded the BO Edge trial, however the keycode required for installation that should have been emailed to me never arrived.
    Could someone share the trial keycode either for BO Edge of for BO Enterprise: pdebski @ econsulting . pl

  • Gift certificate with email notification never arrived

    I purchased a gift certificate for my nephew and chose to have him notified by email. Unfortunately, his notification never arrived. I have tried to contact Apple, but thus far have not penetrated past the computer voice on the phone or the automated support online which does not help. The purchase does not show up under my order history. Does that mean it was never made? Or has my credit card been charged even though there is no record of the purchase in the history? Not sure what to do next. Has anyone else ever had this problem? I wanted the gift certificate to arrive in time for Christmas. Help?! ~Jaeni

    Sorry, but you cannot give iTunes gifts, whether via gift certificate or a prepaid card, to someone outside of the US. Gifts purchased in the US are valid only in the US iTunes Store which cannot be used outside of the country. If you find that you have been charged for the gift, the easiest thing to do will be to resend the gift, this time choosing someone in the US. Otherwise, you can contact the iTunes Store and ask if they will grant a refund.
    I have tried to contact Apple, but thus far have not penetrated past the computer voice on the phone or the automated support online which does not help.
    Just for future reference, the iTunes Store has no telephone support. They can be contacted only by using the form on their Support page (select the category and subcategory closest to the issue you're reporting and you'll find either an "Express Lane" button - just follow the instructions to get to the contact form - or an "Email Us" button)
    Regards.

  • Apple ID reset password email never arrives.

    It is several years old and I forgot.  It is [email protected]  email never arrives.  Apple address is not blocked and junk mail folder is empty.
    It is also a valid ID because if I try to create a new Apple ID using the same [email protected] I get a message that that ID is taken.  The email account is valid as I send and receive emails everyday from it.  I want to use the ID on a new iPhone I just got.  I only used the ID on an old iPod several years ago briefly.
    I have tried the email reset several times and never get an email sent to me.
    Also I can not get a password reset via the 'answer questions' methood because I completely forgot how I answered them.  Also that was a time before there was password rules and I'm not sure any questions were even needed to be answered.

    Thank you so much for the answer.  I don't have a rescue email.  I'll call the number and see if they can help.  If they could at least change the rescue address to the AppleID address that would probably work.   I'll report back after the call, I hope they will help.  Thank's for the number.

  • Mail with pdf never arrives.

    I have 2 iCloud mail accounts, and my girlfriend has 1. Mail normally works perfectly between them. However, when I attempt to send a large pdf attachment (exported from a Pages document) it never arrives. It is listed as sent. I cannot see anything wrong with the pdf, and other (smaller and non-Pages) pdf's I have used to test the accounts all work.
    So, to recap: All Apple software, all Apple iCloud.
    Anybody seen anything like this?

    Are they larger than 20 MB?
    That is apparently the size limit: http://email.about.com/od/iCloud-Mail-Tips/qt/Know-The-Icloud-Mail-Message-And-A ttachment-Size-Limits.htm

  • User name sent to my email address, but never arrives. Has Firefox been hacked and user info being sent to the wrong people?

    Had some issues with Firefox 35.0.1 trying to post on this forum. Fox would not accept my login, so I requested to reset my password. Password reset O.K. still a no go, thought my login was bad and requested them send my "User name" (same email) User name never arrives. I had to create a new account on the forum to post this question as I can't get my old login to work.
    Anyone else having this problem or has Firefox been hacked and my "User Name" sent to someone else?

    Hi maheman,
    Can you try to recover the password with the email and private message me a timestamp. I can ask an admin to take a look at the technical side of what is happening, the email is removed from the public thread, however it may be necessary to investigate. (please include just the username in the private message)
    Thank you.
