Hi,
iChat 6 in Lion adds the ability to use Yahoo accounts in addition to AIM (valid) names and Jabber IDs and you have not told which you are adding.
The error message does sounds bit like the AIM one.
iChat (And the Messages app in Mountain Lion) can use Apple IDs that end in @mac.com and @me.com
However you must keep the passwords to 16 characters or below as this is the AIM server limit.

It's confirmed, H.e.l.l. has finally frozen over! TM drives are now bootable!
Still it's not a real bootable clone, can't run the computer off the external drive for long in only Recovery mode, still requires the boot drive to be replaced if it not functional, and with TM backing up every hour, isn't going to offer much software protection as the TM drive is just as likely to be as messed up as the internal boot drive.
For a iMac it still requires the computer to be taken in to Apple for a drive replacement, as ONLY Apple can do it due to proprietary connections and firmware on the iMac hard drives.
But it is bootable!
The backup time factor can be controlled using TimeMachine Editor, from every hour to just when the user thinks it's necessary.
Apple lurches slightly forward! Hurray!
Question is, can one restore from earlier stable TM's or just the last one? In this bootable fashion?

How can I upload pictures received with iChat to my Mac

how can I upload pictures received with iChat to my Mac

Hi,
I am not sure what you mean.
As Files they are sent in Chats (pic-in-chats) and displayed in-Line.
Or they are sent as Separate Files, invoking the File Transfer Invite Window and you can "Accept' (Download) to the iChat Downloads folder.
If an Active chat has a Pic in it, the pic can be dragged to the Desktop.
Older Chats, if Saved, can also have Pics "grabbed" from them when opened.
To be using an iChat version you need to be using OS X 10.7.x (Lion) or Earlier.
Mountain Lion has Messages. This adds the iOS style iMessages account to what iChat can do.
Pics can be "Saved" to the Desktop the same way.

Starting All Over With OS X and Safari After Update And Crashes

I had posted my troubles in the Safari Section under the same title and got fabulous advice. I was just starting the process of following this advice so that I could get my mac back up from 10.4.7 to 10.4.11 since the genius' at the bar at Apple had re-installed the OS to fix the crashing Safari, Mail and Software update apps.
The advice suggested starting with a permissions repair and a disk verify. Well disk verify may well have come up with the cause for my computer going foobar upon installing the last Apple update in the first place. (Incredible that the Genius Bar guys missed this, especially the week before when I had taken my Mac Mini in for a Procare "Tune-Up." I wonder what the H-E Double Hockey Sticks they did if they didn't verify the disk in the tune-up? Wouldn't that have saved me all manner of distress and trouble!) Here is what verify gave me:
Verifying volume “Macintosh HD”
Checking HFS Plus volume.
Checking Extents Overflow file.
Checking Catalog file.
Invalid index key
The volume Macintosh HD needs to be repaired.
Error: The underlying task reported failure on exit
1 HFS volume checked
Volume needs repair
So..I will need to, if I understand this correctly, re-start from my install disc holding down the C key and then go to disk utility. I have never done this before and really would like some one to walk me through the procedure.
Just to remind or get you up to speed. I have a mac mini that had been bought with 10.3.7 on it and had been updated all the way to 10.4.11 and Safari 3.0.4 but after the last Java, Quicktime, and Security update Safari, Mail, and Software Update all crashed repeatedly. Genius Bar at Apple got them working again by re-installing the OS but put in 10.4.7 and with it Safari 2.0.4. Now I will need to repair the start up disk. Do I use the Mac Mini "Mac OS X install disc 1 and Apple Hardware Test" disc or do I use the "Mac OS X Tiger" disc that I bought to upgrade my Mac from Panther to Tiger? I think the former rather than the latter but I am uncertain and would really like to know exactly what I need to do before proceeding. Please help!
Then.. what do I do after I re-start using the install disc and have gone to Disk Utility. Will it then darken the "repair" button under "disk," and allow me to click on that to repair the disk? What will that do to the applications and documents that I have in the mac. I actually have my iTunes and iPhoto libraries on external hard drives and are backed-up on yet another external hard drive. I think everything is backed-up. I will perform another back-up before I do anything anyway. Do I leave the externals on and connected while doing the re-start using the install disc or do I disconnect them?
As you can tell, this makes me rather nervous. Thank you so much for any help you can offer! -Charlotte

Hi. Sorry for the delay in responding; Holidays as you know. Anyway... Thanks for your advice.
Yes, I put in the Tiger install disc and holding the c key restarted the computer. Went to Disk Utility and ran Repair Disk. Did it twice as you suggested. The first time it said that there was nothing to repair which was a complete surprise. Ran the verify again and ran Repair Disk again. Each time the report shows no problems. After booting back into the main internal hard drive, I ran disk verify again and it reports no problems.
Someone else on a different post on this subject (I accidently posted this in two different places) stated that the Apple Disk Utility Repair would not be able to make this repair and I would have to get Disk Warrior to make the repair. If Disk Verify reports no problems, wouldn't this mean that running the Repair Disk did repair it?
After all this I went to Apple's site and got the combo update and ran Software Update and gotten my little ppc Mac Mini back up to 10.4.11 and Safari 3.0.4. (I ran permissions repair after the updates as well.) I did not, however, download the last Security Update, as some posters have suggested that I avoid it. What do you think of the Security Update 2007-009? Would this be safe to download and install, now that my mac seems to have had it's directory repaired? Thanks so much. -Charlotte

How do I start all over?

Prior to upgrading to Leopard I used Super Duper for backups. I particularly liked the ability to boot directly to the backup. In case of a HD failure this is priceless; You're back up in the time it takes to reboot.
When I upgraded to Leopard, my initial plan was to keep doing the Super Duper backups and just use TM for data files, which wouldn't amount to much in terms of storage. I found it difficult, however, to list everything except Documents as exclusions. Even when I tried to do that, once I began the backup process the system said it was going to back up near 20 GB. Could it have just been reading my HD to determine where the files were and had so far read 20 GB? My documents files take up less than 2 GB. At the time I didn't have a lot of extra extra space on the external HD, so after a few minutes I pulled the plug.
I've now decided that even though I will continue to do the Super Duper backups, there are good reasons to just let TM back up everything. I now have the space to do that. So my question is, how do I get this process going again? Do I just remove the excluded files from the TM interface and fire it up again? Do I have to delete anything? There is a file on the external drive called Backups.backupdb. Under it is a file with my user name and under that a file that what looks like a document with the date and time and ending with ".InProgress". Interestingly enough, the size of that file is 1.75 GB. I haven't tried retrieving anything because I doubt that there's anything there.
So the question is how best to proceed at this point?
Bill

Hi Bill
I would do the following. Clone the Tiger image temporarily somewhere, erase the whole hard drive in Disk Utility and create two partitions, the first/top one Time Machine and the lower/second one "Tiger" or something. Make the second one just big enough for the Tiger image to give as much as possible for the Time Machine drive. Then put Tiger back and connect TM.
I have always used TM on partitioned drives and it causes no problem afaik. However to ensure flexibility, TM should be on the top/first partition because that is the partition you can dynamically resize should TM need more space in the future. This will, however, erase the second partition so before doing any such resizing in the future, please remember to clone the Tiger partition somewhere if you want to keep it.
Now if you only want to backup your documents folder then, afaik, there's no easy way to do this. I would go to Sys Prefs-TM-Options, press '+' and navigate to your boot drive. Select all folders except Users. Click OK. Then repeat this but in your User folder and exclude all but the Documents folder. This ought to give you a backup of only Documents. Perhaps this is what you did?
It is true as Chris says, that TM may fill a drive very quickly unless one takes care to exclude (if that is how one wants to use it). However purely for documents it won't do so and so your setup should be fine. But to give you more flexibility in the future, a bigger drive would of course be useful.

Looks like your php.ini is out of date. In PHP5 the extension DLLs
are in php\ext instead of php\extensions. Edit the extensions_dir

After an update to Mt.Lion, my iWeb was GONE, leaving me with my website on my host, but all my iWeb information on my computer was totally wiped out. I was able to load iWeb again, but I will have to start all over rebuilding my site...any suggestions?

Has anyone else lost their entire iWeb information after upgrading to MT. Lion? I did manage to upload iWeb again, but it's like I've started all over with no data, so I will have to totally rebuild my site -if I ues iWeb-and upload the entier site again, and I have no guarantees that I won't lose it again.

Did you do a clean install of Mt. Lion, i.e. an erase and install? If you didn't do a clean instal check inside the User/Library/Applicatrion Support/iWeb folder to see if there's a file there named Domain.sites.
NOTE: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Home/Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and press the Return key - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
If you don't have a backup strategy then this would be a good time to start one. The simplest to start is to use Time Machine with an external HD that's at least 1.5 times the size of your boot drive.

Hi pampachomski,
I'm a bit unclear on your exact configuration or the devices in question, but from your description it sounds like you may want to look into the new iCloud Photo Library feature:

I have a current iPhone 5 with all my apps and games at certain levels, how do I use iCloud to transfer current game levels as only a few games have transferred and other games want me to start all over again on my new iPad?

I currently have an iPhone 5 that I play games on regularly and I have just bought the iPad 4 and I want to transfer all my game progress from the iPhone to the iPad. I have turned on iCloud on both devices and backed up and while all my games transfer only some of the games maintain progress where others want me to start all over again. I pretty sure I doing something wrong... Can some help or give me idiot proof guidance on how do do this successfully. I'm generally pretty tech savvy but this has me stumped and iCloud is ment to be easy to use.

I would not be able to give you idiot proof guide, since different games are different. Some of them have icloud integrated already, but those already taken care of. Some of them use specific logins and once you log - you get your info. General recommendation is to contact support sites of those games for enabling icloud instructions or enabling of transfer. There are other purely apple ways - like sync your phone in itunes and then sync apps with ipad, but those are only one time transfer. There is another way that is not typically recommended - restoring ipad from iphone backup. It may transfer your game content, but once again sync in the future has to be done by game.
So if I were you, I would address that individually with every game provider.

When I only want to close the current window to return to the previous window, the whole firefox site closes down, I end up back at my desktop & have to start all over again. How can this be fixed?

If I close a window I should be back at the previous window that I was at when I followed a link to this window. At least that's the way Internet Explorer works, which I have used for years. The only thing that prevents me from using Firefox exclusively is that it is very time consuming to have to start all over again from scratch every time I close a window. For instance, say I type "cats" into the search box. It gives me links to a list of "cats" sites. I go to a "cats" website, decide I don't like it so close the window to return to my list of sites, but instead of returning me to the list, I end up at my desktop. Then I have to start all over, just like I had not even been online. Very aggravating. I don't know how else to describe the problem, I can't believe that other people haven't had a similar complaint, unless I just have some settings wrong?

Now up to Firefox 8 and the problem persists. Cannot go to the www.turnitin.com page and login as I used to do -- Firefox does not remember my username or password.
Still works on Windows, and with other browsers... It would be great if a fix is available.

If the problem persists, you'll probably have to make another apple id, it wont take off any games or music or apps or anything you've bought it will all stay there, i have two apple id's and i don't have a problem with anything.
