Can't Star iChat Service after update to Snow Leopard Server

We had installed Mac OS X Server on a Mac Pro, and we had the iChat Service working in the organization; but when we update to the Snow Leopard Server we can't start the iChat service again. In the Server Admin app, on the iChat node in the Overview I have this:
iChat Service is: Stopped
Start time: not available
Domain: not available
Client connections: not available
With the update if I choose the iChat service node, I can't see the Start iChat button.
Can somebody help?
Thanks a lot.

  • After updating to snow leopard  and trying to delete mackeeper flash player will no longer work. Can anyone help me?

    After updating to snow leopard and trying to delete mackeeper, Flash player is being blocked and will not allow me to view utubes. Can anyone help?

    Here are instructions for eradicating MacKeeper - you may need to re-install it to uninstall it fully:

    Regarding Flash - there are many reports on here that v13.x isn't working for a lot of people. distractme in the following thread posted instructions on how to install the previous version, which should work whilst Adobe work on a fix:

  • Home sharing does not work after update to snow leopard 10.6.4 and iTunes 9

    I am using home sharing since about a year without any problems. After updating to snow leopard 10.6.4 and iTunes 9.2 it suddenly does not work anymore.
    On my iMac and my Mac Book Pro I get error code 3259 and it tells me to check my firewall and to enable Port 3689.
    I did not change anything in the firewall settings, itunes on both allows data traffic in both directions. I also do not find any option to activate a port ( also wondering why this is suddenly now necessary)
    I deactivated home sharing on both machines and enabled it again. It still does not work.
    On both machines iTunes displays the the library on the left side but like said it is not accessable
    With Finder I can access the other computer from both machines without any problem.
    Any help to solve this would be very much appreciated

    first of all, if you are behind a router firewall, and have your network secured (WPA2 and a long, non-dictionary password made up of letters and numbers), you don't need the software firewall on your Mac(s).
    @ least turned if off for troubleshooting purposes.
    turn home sharing off on both computers, and make sure
    (a) both Macs have access to the internet
    (b) iTunes on both machines is authorized for the same iTunes account.
    turn home sharing back on on both Macs.
    does it work ?

  • Safari and other aplications super slow after update to Snow Leopard. Installed the update combo and nothing happened, still super super slow. Any tips to solve this?

    After updating to Snow Leopard (to install Lion later), Safari and other aplications became super super slow and Preview is not working properly, I can't print anything that was opened with Preview. Already installed the Combo update, nothing happened, Safari still taking hours to load any site. I honestly regret downloading Snow Leopard, the older version worked so much better... Hope Lion is smarter than Snow Leopard...

    After updating to Snow Leopard on my iMac (Intel) DVDs (Software, Movies, Data, Etc.) are not recognised however CDs are recognised.

  • Ipad won't sync after updating to snow leopard

    Any help available regarding a non-syncing ipad first gen, after updating to snow leopard on my imac?  The ios software on ipad is up to date, and the snow leopard version is also up to date.  The computer will not even recognize that the ipad is connected.  Thx.

    Try something very simple first. Quit iTunes, reboot the Mac and restart the iPad. Then try again.
    I had some issues when I first installed SL on my last MacBook, and I still have issues every now and then with the iPad not being recognized (now running Lion 10.7.3 on a new MacBook Pro) and this has always worked for me. You may have to reboot the Mac a couple of times - but try it and see if it works for you.

  • Safari and Flash after updating to Snow Leopard

    After updating to Snow Leopard, Safari will no longer display any flash content. I have tried reinstalling flash as well as uninstalling/reinstalling. Firefox works correctly so I know I do have the correct flash installed. Any advice? Thanks.

    I have a similar problem. The rendering is wrong after updating to Snow Leopard 10.6.
    The 10.6.1 doesn't solve the problem.
    The rendering problem is on Safari, Firefox and Chrome.
    I've tried to uninstall Flash using the Adobe uninstaller and re-install.
    It doesn't solve the problem.
    On my MacBook Air, I've updated to Snow Leopard, and no problem. Flash is working correctly.

  • Can't open or start new projects in Logic after updating to Snow Leopard

    I've been having a few problems with Logic 9 since updating to Snow Leopard (10.6.8 )  a couple of days ago.
    Every time i click on "new" and try and start a new project - logic freezes and i get the rotating circle sign and Logic stops responding - eventually i need to force quit and start again.
    Existing projects seem to be functioning fine, although slightly slower than before.
    Does anyone have any fixes for this?! Not being able to start a new project is quite a big problem!
    Thanks

    The mistake was trusting only TimeMachine as your backup/restore.
    If you had your users files also backed up to a external storage drive, or used a bootable clone (since they can be directly accessed) then you could have recovered just your files.
    This is what I suggest you do since TM apprantly botched things.
    1: Visit my user tip here and attempt to fix Snow Leopard in place, the purpose here is to get a booing machine so you can use a working Admin account to copy the user folder containing your files to a regular external drive.
    I suggest #8 and #6, this will reinstall OS X over itself to fix it, then reset the User Password so you can hopefully log in.
    ..Step by Step to fix your Mac
    2: This method will also work, you install Snow Leopard onto a extenral drive and boot from it. This is probally a more safer choice than above, it's certainly less work, but it needs a blank external powered drive.
    .Create a data recovery/undelete external boot drive
    3: Once a copy of your users files is off, then your free to revert your machine back to Snow Leopard.
    The ENTIRE drive must be selected and erased, to set the GUID, erase the RecoveryHD and EFI partitions.

    Read this to see how OS X 10.7+ changes the User/Library folder, thus can't be used with Snow Leopard.

    opened from the tool bar and also directly from applications. Any more suggestions?
    Can you start a new project, or are you saying you cannot launch DVD SP at all? If the later try deleting the preferences (since you are on the road, make sure you copy the preferences to someplace in case something goes wrong.) If it is the former, you may not be ablle to open the existing project if you took all the steps of clicking cancel etc., though the deleting preferences could possibly help if the preferences are corrupted and causing an issue when you are trying to skip files. (Would not count on that one though.)

  • Isight is not working anymore after updating to snow leopard

    it used to work very well. i updated snow leopard 5 days ago. i try to use skype and photo booth, it is never working again. do people have the same problem?
    thank you for your information

    Thanks for the info - however surely this has something to do with the snow leopard software update - not a hardware failure or is that just a coincidence?
    My iSight was working fine before I upgraded to snow leopard? Is there a software fix coming?
    Welcome to Discussions, lightwright
    ... this has something to do with the snow leopard software update ...
    You may be correct that the problem has something to do with your SL update, but, as previously explained, many of us successfully use iSight every day after upgrading to Snow Leopard, so the problem is not SL itself. If you believe that your problem is with your update, you should consider reapplying the update using the method suggested above.
    If you continue to have iSight problems after properly applying the SL update, consider all relevant troubleshooting suggestions in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2090
    However, if your iSight problem continues, and if iSight now does NOT show as a USB device in your Mac's System Profiler, yours is most likely a hardware problem. In that case, contact Apple or an Apple-Authorized Service Provider for service.
    If, after properly applying the SL update and using the Troubleshooting suggestions, iSight IS recognized in System Profiler but still does NOT work with any of your video-enabled Apple software, your disk may contain some pre-SL software that is causing problems. Either erase the disk and apply only Apple software to see if that fixes your problem, or seek help from your Apple-Authorized Service Provider.
    ... Is there a software fix coming?

  • Cannot open System Preferences after update to Snow Leopard

    Hi, everybody,
    Just updated to Snow Leopard and everything seemed to go smoothly, but when I tried to open System Prefences, I get the message, "You can't use this version of the application System Preferences with this version of Mac OS X. (You have System Preferences 5.0)"
    After upgrading to SL, I did download and install all the software updates.
    Ideas? Thanks,

    HI,
    Go to
    ~/Library/Preferences and move this file to the Trash.
    ~ meaning your Home Folder.
    com.apple.systempreferences.plist
    Restart your Mac.
