Force iChat to keep a log with Terminal

Dear Ralph, I read in one of your threads the instruction using terminal on how to force iChat to keep a log (/Applications/iChat.app/Contents/MacOS/iChat -errorLogLevel 7) However when I enter this instruction I get the following reply:2007-12-18 13:01:13.391 iChat[5841:10b] Failed to register port: com.apple.iChatIncomingMessages
I would like to check log as one of my relatives can't see any text in their textchat window if they initiate but I can. If I initiate then no pop-up appears their side. I have verified this by using ARD. However audio and video do work...
Their modem Speedtouch ST780sip with portforwarding set up it is a MacBook upgraded from Tiger to 10.5.1

Hi Gerard,
Sorry about being late to this thread.
Can you post more of the log as one line out of context does not help.
The other choice is to get rid of the Speedtouch 780
(I take it we have discussed this in another thread)

I have unchecked clear active logins and everything to do with removing passwords and I still have to login to websites. How do I get this to keep me logged in on a few sites?

With Yahoo and Facebook, they have a box you can check to keep you logged in, but every time I close out my browser it is erased and I have to login all over again. I unchecked everything that has to do with erasing saved passwords, and active login information but it is still doing it. How do I get the browser to keep me logged in on the different websites that I would like it to remember?

Creative cloud keeps me logged in to my old account even when I log in with my new account.

Creative cloud keeps me logged in to my old account even when I log in with my new account. When I log out of the new account, it has kept me logged in to the older account. Because of this, I can't access the programs. I am trying to access the free trials on the new account before purchasing the subscription on the new account, but it keeps me registered as the older account, even though I requested for the older account to be cancelled. I have also tried multiple times to uninstall both the programs and creative cloud desktop but the same thing keeps happening. Can someone please help me?

Some free advice. If your son is 8 years old, put him on your account, and set parental controls so that he cannot accidentally run up giant charges within the games.
If your son is 25 years old, get him his own AppleID and make him responsible for his own bills.
In between ... use your judgement.

IChat AV keeps logging me out of AIM

iChat AV has been really buggy for me. Almost immediately after I launch it, I am logged out of AIM. I've tried using a different port on iChat, but that hasn't worked. I've also listed all of the appropriate ports under the Sharing pane of System Preferences, but still no luck.
Anyone have any suggestions?
Skype has been much more reliable for me, but being a die hard Mac fan, I want iChat AV to work.
Thanks for any help.

Hi SVR,
So you have not noticed any stutters in loading web pages or with Mail ?
Skype works in Video ?
So you think you internet connection is settled and stable.
iChat seems to lose connection with the AIM servers and get logged out.
You have changed the Login port to (443 ?) something other than 5190.
Do you have another computer using the same AIM screen name ? (it could be an @mac name as well).
Can you tells us more about your Home LAN as there is little to go on here.

I use to use ichat and now with mountain lion i only have facetime. i try to keep in touch with my family thru the old ichat, will facetime work as easiely ? is it easy to connect with this app? thanks, gilbert

I use to use ichat and now with Mountain Lion I only have FaceTime, will this work as easy as ichat? I try to keep in touch with my son and his family, he has a Mac also. I have never tried to do a video chat with my new Mountain Lion. I have set-up FaceTime and thought I would throw the question out before we try and get together. Thanks, Gilbert

Ichat is now called Messages and is in your Applications folder.

Why won't firefox keep me logged in on mozilla website?

I came here, registered, went to email, clicked activation link. error reported with link, with suggestion that I clicked wrong link, but it's the ONLY link in the email.
Came back to mozilla site, tried my login and p/w...surprise!..got logged in!
No checkbox for keeping me logged in automatically everytime I visit mozilla site, but FF will remember login details, si I have to click 'sign in' link everytime, which wouldn't be so bad, but when I'm trying to reply to somebody having issues that I've had before, it becomes more than just a minor nuisance having to reload the page yet again.
Is this an intenional thing with mozilla to not have their own browser not automatically logging into it's own site?
Is it a site upgrade/suggestion thing?
Either way, it's almost enough to make me wonder just what you guys smoke when you design webpages, cos I thought this was supposed to be a "personal, customisable' browser that automatically signed in when visiting a page.
There's not even an option for it on the profile page.
I am the only one using my computer, so I see no point in NOT allowing it to happen.
Is this auto sign in never going to happen for this site, or is it going to be implemented in the near future?

Those details are stored in cookies, make sure that you have cookies enabled.
Another possibility is the cookies for the site are malformed, try removing the cookie for the site to force Firefox to create a new cookie. For details on doing that see [[Deleting cookies]].

Password Reset with Terminal

Have reset password with Terminal and the iMac is taking an age to reboot. Grey screen with wheel. Is this normal and should I keep waiting. If not what should I do?
Thanks.

Take each of these steps that you haven't already tried. Stop when the problem is resolved.
Step 1
The first step in dealing with a boot failure is to secure your data. If you want to preserve the contents of the startup drive, and you don't already have at least one current backup, you must try to back up now, before you do anything else. It may or may not be possible. If you don't care about the data that has changed since your last backup, you can skip this step.
There are several ways to back up a Mac that is unable to boot. You need an external hard drive to hold the backup data.
a. Boot into the Recovery partition, or from a local Time Machine backup volume (option key at startup.) When the OS X Utilities screen appears, launch Disk Utility and follow the instructions in this support article, under “Instructions for backing up to an external hard disk via Disk Utility.”
b. If you have access to a working Mac, and both it and the non-working Mac have FireWire or Thunderbolt ports, boot the non-working Mac in target disk mode. Use the working Mac to copy the data to another drive. This technique won't work with USB, Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth.
c. If the internal drive of the non-working Mac is user-replaceable, remove it and mount it in an external enclosure or drive dock. Use another Mac to copy the data.
Step 2
Sometimes a boot failure can be resolved by resetting the NVRAM.
Step 3
If there's a built-in optical drive, a disc may be stuck in it. Follow these instructions to eject it.
Step 4
Press and hold the power button until the power shuts off. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed to boot, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Use a different keyboard and/or mouse, if those devices are wired. If you can boot now, one of the devices you disconnected, or a combination of them, is causing the problem. Finding out which one is a process of elimination.
If you've booted from an external storage device, make sure that your internal boot volume is selected in the Startup Disk pane of System Preferences.
Step 5
Boot in safe mode. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Post for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
When you boot in safe mode, it's normal to see a dark gray progress bar on a light gray background. If the progress bar gets stuck for more than a few minutes, or if the system shuts down automatically while the progress bar is displayed, your boot volume is corrupt and the drive is probably malfunctioning. In that case, go to Step 6.
If you can boot and log in now, empty the Trash, and then open the Finder Info window on your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name.) Check that you have at least 9 GB of available space, as shown in the window. If you don't, copy as many files as necessary to another volume (not another folder on the same volume) and delete the originals. Deletion isn't complete until you empty the Trash again. Do this until the available space is more than 9 GB. Then reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode.)
If the boot process hangs again, the problem is likely caused by a third-party system modification that you installed. Post for further instructions.
Step 6
Launch Disk Utility in Recovery mode (see Step 1.) Select your startup volume, then run Repair Disk. If any problems are found, repeat until clear. If Disk Utility reports that the volume can't be repaired, the drive has malfunctioned and should be replaced. You might choose to tolerate one such malfunction in the life of the drive. In that case, erase the volume and restore from a backup. If the same thing ever happens again, replace the drive immediately.
This is one of the rare situations in which you should also run Repair Permissions, ignoring the false warnings it may produce. Look for the line "Permissions repair complete" at the end of the output. Then reboot as usual.
Step 7
Reinstall the OS. If your Mac was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade.
Step 8
Repeat Step 6, but this time erase the boot volume in Disk Utility before installing. The system should automatically reboot into the Setup Assistant. Follow the prompts to transfer your data from a Time Machine or other backup.
Step 9
This step applies only to older Macs (not current models) that have a logic-board ("PRAM") battery. Both desktop and portable Macs used to have such a battery. The logic-board battery, if there is one, is separate from the main battery of a portable. A dead logic-board battery can cause a boot failure. Typically the failure will be preceded by loss of the settings for the startup disk and system clock. See the user manual for replacement instructions. You may have to take the machine to a service provider to have the battery replaced.
Step 10
If you get this far, you're probably dealing with a hardware fault. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service provider.

IChat/AIM keeps disconnecting...

Hey,
I have a problem with iChat and AIM. Both keep randomly logging me off. When they do, they say that there have been network problems when the connection has been totally fine. I can whiz through the net with Safari but iChat and AIM keep shutting down by themselves. I looked through preferences to see if there was some type of timer or something that would automatically log me off but I can't find anything that would do it.
Can anyone help? I'd like to stay on AIM and iChat even when I'm idle. Sometimes it logs me off in the middle of a conversation and it just gets really annoying.
Thanks in advance.

With an external camera it is possible to set iChat in iChat > Preferences > Video section to automatically launch if the camera is On/attached
In the iChat > Preferences > Accounts it is possible to set an account name to Login automatically when iChat opens.
If the Internet is dropped these two setting normally make it reconnect when the connection comes back.
It was better in iChat 2 though.
Internal cameras seem not to give the cue to iChat to reconnect as most of the time there are off.

One question, have you backup the log file with CONTINUE_AFTER_ERROR?
Have you seen in ERROR.LOG some info regarding the backup log which was forced by CONTINUE_AFTER_ERROR???

Why won't Firefox keeped me logged in to anything after I close and reopen it?

When I was running an older version of Firefox, when I would close a firefox window and later reopen it, I would stay logged in to everything: facebook, hotmail, gmail with multiple sign in, etc. It would also reload all the tabs I had open without me having to click "restore previous session" I liked this as I could close the window, but keep everything that I was working on or wanted open in Firefox without having to pull it all up again. I have since upgraded to the newest version after installing a new hard drive (Windows 7 still), but whenever I close Firefox, I am logged out of everything and my previous tabs don't restore unless I click "restore previous session" (that still will keep me logged out of everything, even if I click it).
How do I set up Firefox to not log me out whenever I close the browser and to automatically restore my previous session?
browser.sessionstore.privacy_level is set to 0 and I do not have "Clear history when Firefox closes" checked.
Please help! Thanks!

There is also the browser.sessionstore.privacy_level_deferred pref that is used when you do not reopen the previous session automatically via "Show my windows and tabs from last time" and uses the same values.

I have Windows 8.1 installed on my Macbook Pro Retina (Late 2013) and it keeps on crashing with a WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR BSOD error

I have Windows 8.1 installed on my Macbook Pro Retina (Late 2013) and it keeps on crashing with a WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR BSOD error. Is this an issue with the bootcamp driver not compatible with Windows 8.1? or is there something I can do to fix this.
I also keep getting WHEA-Logger Event-ID 19 warning events in the Windows Event Logs with the following details.
A corrected hardware error has occurred.
Reported by component: Processor Core
Error Source: Corrected Machine Check
Error Type: Cache Hierarchy Error
Processor APIC ID: 3
The details view of this entry contains further information.

likely win8.1 dont have official bootcamp support yet
1/3 of my logins into win8.1 result in a fatal bluescreen
was the same deal when I installed win8 before official support
and when the drivers with official support was released the issue went away

I keep getting logged out of iCloud and iMessenger on my iPhone 5s, iOS 8.1.3

I keep getting logged out of iCloud and iMessenger on my iPhone 5s. I have iOS 8.1.3, I've logged out of everything, restarted, logged back in, I've fully erased and reset the phone, I've done everything every blog has suggested and it is still not working properly. I've even had to fully erase my iPad because it started acting as the primary device so I was not getting any messages on my iPhone. I did update my password a while ago but even after that the phone and iPad were working fine, then within the last few month's I've been dealing with this issue.
Please help, I've literally tried every fix everyone has suggested on this subject and nothing is working. I'm strongly tempted to change from an Apple device at this point.

Reset your phone - no data loss
Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
If that does not fix the problem - back up your phone to iTunes and restore as new
See if the problem is solved before you restore from backup or load any apps
Please post your results

My phone keeps on looping with the apple logo after the blue screen.

I tried to up date my iPhone 5s thru iTunes and got error statin iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode. you must restore this iPhone before it can be used with iTunes. Saw a video on you tube to use rec boot. So I downloaded rec boot v1.3 to try and kick it out of recovery mode and my phone keeps on looping with the white screen and black apple logo after the blue screen. I tried kicking it out with tiny umbrella and nothing happens. I was able to put the phone back in recovery mode and try using tiny umbrella while still connect to iTunes and hit exit recovery mode. under log tab it says sending exit recovery request to model # of the phone and nothing happen. My last option is to restore to factory settings which I don't want to do cause I would loose every thing. Can some one tell me I'm doing wrong or how to fix it. I would be greatly appreciate it the help. Thanks in advance.

Its looping because the iOS is not bootable which is why the iPhone booted to the ROM recovery mode. Try using iTunes 12's 'Update' option when the iPhone is in recovery mode.
