I just cant get ichat to work/connect at all

everytime i enter my password it says it is wrong, then i change it and it still says it is wrong, i revert back to the original - still wrong. i tried downloading the memobile update and it gets halfway and says 'close mail before continuing' - i close every other application open and press 'continue' (for the update) but the box doesnt go away and carerys on saying 'close mail before continuing'. it is a nightmare.....am i doing something wrong? any ideas or suggestions? thanks in advance. im using leopard.

With MobileMe taking over from @Mac.com it seems that the AIM servers can not keep up with the numbers of people adding their Names and there is a delay in some being recognised.
With the @mac.com system you could actually create Passwords that were longer than were accepted by the AIM servers.
I would expect the same issue to arise here as well.
I have a trial @£mac account that is of some age now and it can still Log in.
I have not gone for a trial MobileMe account as I will likely forget to cancel it before the period is Up and I don't want another iChat name right now.
I am sure that some of this is the amount of name changes regarding ICHat and the AIM servers.
I am sure the password character limit of 16 characters is an issue for some.
On the whole it may be just a question of time before things settle down.
I know nothing of the Mail issues as I said I have not tried the new System.

Cant get query to work

can anyone see what i'm trying to do here?:::
<cfquery name="display_log"
datasource="allied_control_db1">
SELECT *
FROM ops_log_entry
ORDER BY log_entry_date_time DESC
</cfquery>
<cfquery name="get_current_status"
datasource="allied_control_db1">
SELECT *
FROM new_log_entries
WHERE #display_log.ID# =
#get_current_status.id_original_entry#
</cfquery>
i want to pull the 'current status' of an entry from another
table where the ID of 'ops_log_entry' matches that of
'new_log_entries'
everything work except this line:
WHERE #display_log.ID# =
#get_current_status.id_original_entry#
i dont think i'm far off but just cant get it to work.
anyone?

Hi Phil,
i'm always carefull not to use reserved words as i spent
nearly 24 hrs pulling my hair out before trying to figure out why a
query wasnt working, so i'm pretty sure its not that.
i havent added anything to the query apart from the date/time
column name.
<cfquery name="display_log"
datasource="allied_control_db1">
SELECT *
FROM ops_log_entry AS L INNER JOIN new_log_entries AS N
ON ( L.ID = N.id_original_entry )
WHERE N.log_entry_date_time = (SELECT
MAX(N1.log_entry_date_time)
FROM new_log_entries AS N1
WHERE N1.id_original_entry = N.id_original_entry)
</cfquery>
ive checked the DB column types and the ops_log_entry.ID is
of course an AutoNumber (long integr) & the
new_log_entries.id_original_entry is a Number (long integr)
so seen as they are both the same types, should there be any
need for single quotes?

Set up ipod touch to cox email, ive tried everything and cant get it to work. thanks!

set up ipod touch to cox email, ive tried everything and cant get it to work. thanks!

Here's an answer from the net:
Go to Settings/Mail,contacts,calendars/Add account choose other, choose Add Mail Account. Fill in name, email address, password and description on the screen that comes up. Save those.
One the next screen tat comes up click om POP in the first line then fil in the host name as
spop.west.cox.net or spop.east.cox.net or the one to go with your region.
Note that is not a misprint, that is spop (secure pop)
Fill in your username one more time (the password should have carried over from previously)
Fill in your outgoing mail server like smtp.west.cox.net (change for your region) and click Save.
When all the settings are verified a checkmark will appear next to them all and you are good to go.
If it says something like "can't connect via SSL would you like to ..." then you probably missed the step about selecting POP on the second screen and are trying IMAP so go back and try over with POP. Or perhaps mistyped soemthing.
Once everything is working you can go back into the settings and see that it has automatically connected on port 995 and that SSL is on
Note that you probably won't be able to send email from a wifi in a cafe or similar as cox won't let you connect to their smtp from outside their network.
I haven't tried receiving mail from a non cox connected wifi yet but I suspect it will work just fine. Anyway these settings work for me using my ipod to my home wifi router connected to cox.
I could not find a definitive guide when I searched so I hope this helps other folks trying to configure this.
I got the spop from "Mail for Mac OS X 10.5 configure SSL / POP" here:

How do I get iChat 3 working ? Upgrade hints:FAQ
Trouble Shooting Revisited
Ok We will start with loading Tiger and iChat version 3.0
From Panther
There are or were serveral Add-ons and applications avaiblable to Panther users of iChat that are not compatible with iChat 3.
These following need to be deleted.
iCAR - An Add-on that posts an Auto response Away message (produces a 1 fps result in a Video chat)
Virex for Panther - An Anti Virus app avialable to @mac account users (Produces the 1 fsp problem)
iChatUSBCam for Panther/iChat2.x - A Add-on utility for using iSight or USB cam with iChat2.x (Incompatible with Tiger/iChat 3)
iProfile - An Add-on for producing a profile on the AIM server that ichat 2.x could not do (not proven to be a problem but now not needed).
A clean install of Tiger (not Archive and Install) produces the best results.
But any install should also check these Tiger settings.
First, UPGRADE to 10.4.3 as this gets past many Connection issues that became apparent with the basic Tiger (10.4) and iChat 3.0 It updates iChat to version 3.1
Check Settings
Don't be complacent that you have not set anything different.
There are several new things in Tiger that may trip you up.
These are worth looking at:
Mac Firewall. Now includes the ability to Block all UDP traffic in the Advanced button (System Preferences > Sharing >Firewall tab then the Advanced Button).
Also can now open UDP protocol for ports where as the Panther one only did TCP (Check any old Panther settings you Added to the presets).
The ports should be:
TCP -5190
UDP -5060, 5190, 5678, 16384-16403
There are more ports for Bonjour 5297, 5298, 5353 UDP and 5298 TCP and Jabber, 5220, 5222, 5223 on TCP)
(Table View see 7th Sept)
QuickTime. This has a change in the name of the Connection Speed tab to Streaming (System Preferences > QuickTime) Check this is set to be equal to your connection speed (the download one if this is faster). See Apple Doc 301641 Dated 9th November 2005.
Date & Time. Not conclusively involved but worth eliminating. Set a Network Server and the correct Time Zone.
Apple Remote Desktop. If this is active in System Preferences > Sharing > Services tab it causes problems for iChat.
Next, test the actual speed you are getting from your ISP.
http://www.dslreports.com/stest
There is a table here of the speeds you need:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301050
The one you get linked to in the Help menu is wrong.
Other Known Problems
There are several other applications that iChat 3 does not seem to like.
folding@home This is a application that uses spare processor time to help find protein chains for a University.
PostgreSQL This is a data base application that can be reset to allow more processor time for iChat. See here http://www.murraywilliams.com/blog/archives/000046.html
Lotus Notes Some people have reported problems with this.
Make sure any Add-on Video cards or input PCI cards have up to date Firmware
IF you are still having problems I would do Routine Maintenance Tasks as laid out here.
Lastly, some routers/modems are SIP aware and give different results in iChat 3 compared to iChat 2.
This is due to the Operating System changing (like a new computer connecting to the modem) rather than iChat.
See My web pages: page4 at the SIP Text in a Box section.
Also for the above try some housekeeping particularly if you do not keep your Computer on 24/7 Gulliver, "kmosx3: Mac OS X 10.3/10.4: System maintenance"

I cant get ECWID to work on my mobile devices, it only seems to use the desktop site rather that the Tablet or iPhone

I cant get ECWID to work on my mobile devices, it only seems to use the desktop site rather that the Tablet or iPhone? Can anyone help me?

Hi Jim,
We’ll be glad to help you.
Ecwid supports responsive layout, which means that the store pages can adapt to the visitor's screen width on the fly and keep the layout clean and nice. Your products and categories lists will be fit for any window's size, as Ecwid will calculate the most suitable number of products or categories in row automatically. In other words, Ecwid looks great on any mobile devices. You can check how your Ecwid store may look on smartphones and tablets, if you see your Starter Site (what it is).
However, if you want Ecwid reveals itself in all its glory, you should embed your Ecwid store into website, which also support responsive layout, because if the site doesn’t adapt to size screen, Ecwid is not able to determine how it should be changed since it’s just a part of the site.
We’ve checked your site and found that you used Adobe Muse for building your site. Using Adobe Muse, you can create alternate site layouts for web content to be displayed on desktop, smartphones, and tablets. Nonetheless, your site has a layout for desktops only, that’s why it looks the same on all devices. You can learn how to create those alternate layouts in Adobe Muse, by reading “Creating a Website for Mobile Devices” article.
I hope this helps! But if there are any questions, don’t hesitate to reach us out on Ecwid forums.

It only needs an internet connection - wired or wireless.
Fixing a Mavericks Installation Problem
How to manage a failed OS X Mavericks installation | MacFixIt - CNET Reviews.
Try these in order:
1. a. Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
    b. Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
2. Restart the computer in Safe Mode, then restart again, normally. If this doesn't help, then:
     Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the
     COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and
     after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears.
     Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
3. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
4. Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks: Reboot from the Recovery HD. Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks from the Utilities menu, and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
