Cannot Log into AIM account after multiple tries

This problem is a nightmare. I really do appreciate the support. Unfortunatly the fix is only temporary. Here is what is going on and what Fixes I have tried.
The problem is on my parents G5 power PC (~2006)
They have an AOL AIM account.
Ichat worked great for about 4 months.
Then the problems occurred (Can not log into AIM account after mutliple tries).
We have tried:
Switching to port 443 - this has not worked ever time we have tried it.
Deleting iChat.plist, iChatAgent.plist, and iChatAIM.plist (left the other ichat plists alone like Jabber, Agent, Subnet,etc)
This this restores ichat for about a day then back to the same problem.
We have also tried running disk utlity and repairing permissions and get it going for day some times.
Not sure what else is causing it to drop out and having to delete this times again and again? Any ideas?

On the Netgear
The Access IP is normally 192.168.0.1 and the User ID is admin and the password is password when the pop down appears.
----Under SYSTEM PREFERENCES>NETWORK It shows Airport Connected to "Netgear 192.168.1.3" do not see User ID or password on the screen?
In the menu on the left the last (or near last item) is UPnP.
Check this is Enabled.
----Do not see this listed anywhere
About two thirds of the way down the menu is WAN Set up
In hear Disable the Port Scan Line (It will read DOS (or SPI) and Port Scan)
There is another Line about "Blocking Responses to Ping on the WAN port" this needs to be Disabled as well (IChat sends a Ping to confirm where the Visible Invite went to is where the SIP stuff (In the Log about the error) is coming back from).
On the DNS info.
This should be two IP address normally that are on the Internet.
These should appear on the RCA if it is accessible in a web Browser but more likely on the Router's Set Up pages (or Some sort of Summary page).
A 192.168.x.x address points to the Router (I would guess in this case) and whilst some routes can be DNS servers as well it is not that common and is only really useful to link a MAC (Ethernet and/or WiFi Card - Media Access Card Address) info to a Name for the Computers that are attached.
----Not sure where to find all this in OS 10.5.8
----Under System Preferences>Network with Airport highlighted I click advanced and go to TCP/IP is see two addresses the ipv4 = 192.168.1.3 and the router=192.168.1.1
(I have presumed that there are no other DNS servers are listed and the 192.166 bit was a typo)
---Correct i put a typo as i was not sure if it was secure to post.
If the Computer can do Wifi as well as Ethernet it should not have both Connected to the Router at the same time. (iChat "Sees" it as two Connections to the Internet).
--- The computer is only connected via Airport to the netgear router.

  • Firefox Sync: I cannot log into my account using the sync key that was given to me and nothing I do seems to fix it. Is there anyway I can "reset" my username? I'd like to reopen an account using my same username as opposed to starting from scratch.

    reading through that, it doesn't look like you were given up on Candice. you never replied to StarDeb's last set of questions in that thread. she was probably waiting to hear back from you.

  • I cannot log into user account with old password after using migration assistant.

    I used Migration Assistant to move only my Settings and Users from my Power PC (User name RLE 5) to my Mac Pro.  Because of what I have read in these forums I did not migrate applications or and files/folders. I will do that manually.  After migrating I tried logging in to my user account RLE 5 on my Mac Pro, but it is telling me I am using the wrong password.  I used the same password I used on my Power PC, but with no luck.  On my Mac Pro I went into System Preferences>Accounts>RLE 5 account and changed the password.  I then rebooted and tried again.  No luck.
    Can somebody help me with this problem?
    Thank you.

    What you propose would not solve the problem I am having.  I must not have been clear about it.  So I will elaborate. 
    I have a Power PC with 10.5.8.  The admin user account name is RLE 5.  I need a password to log into my root user account on my Power PC. 
    Then I bought a used Mac Pro with a clean install of 10.7.5 and no password set up yet for my admin user account.  The admin user account name is Mac Pro.  When I turn on the computer it opens to my admin user account where I have access to everything. 
    I used Migrations Assistant to move my Settings and Users from my Power PC to my Mac Pro.  That seemed to to successfully. 
    So I now have four users on my Mac Pro:  RLE 5 (the admin user from my Power PC with the password), Mac Pro (my admin user which does not require a password), and two guest user accounts.
    I turn on my Mac Pro and it opens to my Mac Pro admin user account.  I don't need to sign in.  No problem. 
    I log out of Mac Pro.  On my screen are the four user accounts.  I click on RLE 5 (which was my admin user account on my Power PC that I migrated over to my Mac Pro) to log into that account and it asks me for a password.  I type in the password I used for my Power PC.  It keeps telling me it is the incorrect password.
    I cannot log into my user account RLE 5 on the Mac Pro.  I am being told I have the incorrect password. I've gone to System Preferences>Accounts and changed the password.  It doesn't make a difference. 
    Also I cannot log into the Guest User account that migrated from the Power PC to the Mac Pro for the same reason.  I have also tried to change the password for that Guest User account also but with no luck. 
    Another interesting thing has happened.  I decided to give my Mac Pro admin user account a password by going to System Preferences>Accounts.  But when I do a test to sign into my admin user account Mac Pro it tells me it is the wrong password.  Luckily I can reboot the computer and it opens to my Mac Pro user without asking for a password.  But if I log out of Mac Pro and try to then sign back in with the password it tells me it is the incorrect password.
    Any suggestions would be appreciated.

  • I cannot log into my account

    I just setup an account and I cannot log into it

    Hello yhinricks:
             What account are you trying to excess HP eprint or HP Support web site? Both of them you need to use your email account you used to register your old printer. Now with HP e print account your printer won't receive directly prints that was sent to your old printer because that was sent to your old printer's IP address. So you need to go on line and manually print items that are their using the printer's icon on your Internet Explorer Browser. For the time being and contact HP e print  suppot technician. Ask them how to change your old printer's information (IP Address) to your new printer's information (IP Address). So you do not have to log into your account each time to manually print from website. frrw

  • Cannot log into any account

    Yesterday, when I tried logging into my macbook, after my password was typed, it locked everything in. What I mean is, everything went gray and I was not able to press any buttons (restart, back, sleep, etc) or change my password. I tried logging into the Guest Account and it wouldn't allow me in either. Any clue on how to fix this?
    P.S. (I'm not sure if this has to do with it) Earlier yesterday, I was trying to update Mac OS X and I guess the cord came unplugged because instead of finishing, the macbook died.

    interrupting an update in the middle is a pretty sure way to scramble the system.
    I suggest you do an archive and install.

  • I cannot log into my account on my macbook.

    My macbook will turn on but once I have logged into my account nothing happens, then after a long delay the screen goes blue and it goes back to the log in screen. Why is this? What can I do? About a week ago it was absolutely fine, then it started freezing for several minutes at a time and now it won't even log in. Can anyone help me?

    Booting from the install disk is good, but you might also want to try booting in safe mode.

  • I cannot log into firefox and after I try I cannot remove the firefox exe process

    I was uploading photos which didn't complete and after that I couldn't log into firefox. I tried the answers in the formats and deleted the parent control but cannot get to my firefox profile to add a new one to test if this will repair the situation. I am also not able to get updates for some of my security programs

    I'm having the same issues, running Firefox 3.6.
    After downloading Windows Updates for Vista, Hotmail has stopped working.
    I can log on, but can't click on any messages.
    None of the buttons work at all in Hotmail; it's completely frozen.
    I have to log on using Internet Explorer.
    I had the same problems with Firefox 4.0; Norton 360 wouldn't work properly with it, so I deleted it, and went back to Firefox 3.6.

    Are you using the testing branch? There's a bug filed about just such an occurrence: http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/13444 Try and see if su has the SETUID bit set.

  • Can't log into User Account after disrupting external hard drive

    I keep my account (Admin) on an external hard drive due to the large volume of data. I mistakenly pulled out the USB cable to the drive while trying to resolve another issue. Subsequently, it appeared a lot of my data was missing. I restarted the computer and couldn't log into my user account. It seems pulling the USB cable to the external drive corrupted something. I verified both disks (internal & external) and all was OK. I ran Disk Permissions and tried to repair. The resultant information is attached at the bottom of this message.
    I can access my data on the hard drive from my laptop over the network. I just can't get into my user account directly. Any ideas on how I can address this issue?

    There may have been another solution to this problem but I went the route of creating another user name and migrated the data over to that name. Thank you!

  • Users cannot log into Remote Desktop after 3/11/2015 update!

    I have a simple network where users can log into a Windows SBS 2008 server with Remote Desktop to access various applications.  This worked quite smoothly until this morning, after the updates of last evening. (3/11/2015)
    When users tried to log into the Remote Desktop this morning their credentials were rejected, as if their username and/or password were incorrect.  Even I (as the administrator) could not log in remotely.  Finally I connected a monitor and keyboard
    directly to the server and was able to log in without an issue.  After logging in directly I was able to connect through remote desktop.
    This method worked for my other users as well - after I logged them in directly they were able to use remote desktop no problem.
    The trouble is that I have a couple dozen users, and this is an issue that should not be occurring.  What happened in the last update to cause remote desktop to reject users credentials?  Why does it only work after the user logs in directly? 
    And most importantly, how do I fix this?
    A few notes:
    Simply browsing for files on the server also asks for the user's name and password, and this works as well.  This is only a remote desktop issue.
    I have already checked to make sure the domain was correct.  It was.
    I have already checked to make sure the usernames and passwords were correct.  They were.
    I have already checked to make sure this was not a unique issue for a single (or limited number) of users.  This issue effected
    all users all the network.
    Thank you very much for your help,
    Dustin

    I'm curious here...  If the server is rebooted, does it put the RDS users back into a "credentials failed" situation?  If so, could you please have them log in with credentials:
    domain.local\username    (I suspect they may be currently using domain\username)
    and see if that fixes the RDS problem without having to first log into the server directly.
     The ".local" may be ".lan" or ".somethingelse" depending on how you initially configured your domain, but the default for SBS 2008 is ".local"
    Merv Porter
    =========================
    That's a good question - the server will auto-reboot this evening and I'll test again in the morning. 
    You are correct that we've been using domain\username.  I tried domain.local\username (which is the way we've set up), and that did not work either.
    I'll let you know how things turn out tomorrow morning.  I don't want to mess with my users anymore today. :P

  • Cannot log into iTunes account

    I have been trying for three days to log into my iTunes account and keep getting the message;
    "The iTunes Store is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later."
    I can log in no problem from my laptop, and my iPod, but not from my desktop. My desktop is the pc that I sync my iPod with.
    Background:
    PC hard drive crashed recently so I have a new one. Reinstalled Win 7, etc. Ran recover program and transferred files to new hard drive.
    iPod had to also be restored during this procedure as it would not unlock with my password anymore. I restored it by syncing to my laptop.
    All computers are running Win7 Home Premium.

    M,
    If the songs were purchased from the iTunes Store, she can download fresh copies at no charge.  Songs obtained elsewhere will require other arrangements. 
    If you can recover the data on the drive, that would be the easiest.
