I need help with resetting my ichat. When i try to login now it wont let me... it says "AOL Instant Messenger password" and then "iChat can't log in to ... because your login ID or password is incorrect. How do I reset this if I cant log in? When I try to press online the same thing pops up and I have no way of logging in or asking for help.
Hi,
iChat (it would help to know which version) can accept Apple IDs as valid AIM Screen Names.
However if you have iChat 5 or earlier you cannot use ones ending in @me.com or @icloud.com issued by iCloud. (they can be used in iChat 6 or Messages as these versions make a double login to AIM and Apple to allow the use of the password).
In addition if you are using an Apple ID for an AIM Screen Name the password still needs to keep to the 16 character limit that AIM has.
AN @mac.com name can be used on any version of iChat (Until the 30th June 2014)
As it does not need a double check with Apple you can use it to log in to the AIM Web pages
Login here with an AIM Name registered at AIM or and @mac.com name and see if you get any suspended account messages.
Sometimes account can be suspended. Usually because something has triggered the "Unusual Activity" item.
About a year ago many @mac.com users that travelled out of their own country found themselves suspended when they got home.
If the Name checks out of if an Apple ID the password in known to be 16 characters or Less then do this:-
In Lion upwards open a Finder Window and use the Go Menu whilst holding down the ALT key.
Select the Library that appears in the menu list.
Navigate to Preferences.
(If you have version earlier than Lion the just navigate to ~/Library/Preferences (that's the Library in you Home - Little House icon - folder)
Fnd com.apple.ichat.aim.plist (even if you are using Messages)
Drag the file to the Trash and Restart the app.

the usb charger is new i just bought it 2 weeks ago and the pattern keeps happening
the longest it has charged is 1 minute!!See the not-charging topic of:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
Have you tried another cable?
Another charging source? Does iTunes see the iPod when you connect to your computer?
Look at the dock connector on the iPod. Look for abnormalities like bent or corroded contacts, foreign material and cracked or broken plastic. -
When I try to install Itunes64setup software in a w vista 64 notebook I get an error message "The application has failed to start because its side-by-side configuration is incorrect." Can you help me ?

Need help setting up 3 different iCloud accounts for my kids (so each has own iMessanger)using same Apple ID (mine) ....they don't have their own separate email addresses to work from...how do I do this?
Any devices connected to the same icloud account can sync all the data on that account. For this reason an icloud account is really for a single user.
On a mac, if each user has their own account, then the itunes for that mac account should be set up to connect to that user's icloud account (System preferences>icloud). -

Does the iOS device connect to other networks?
Does the iOS device see the network?
Any error messages?
Do other devices now connect?
Did the iOS device connect before?
Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on your router
.- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

I have been using my apple tv to access netflix for several months. It suddenly stopped working. When I try to go to netflix from the menu, it says "accessing netflix" but never does. I can access you tube just fine, but just can't get to netflix. Any ideas. I have unplugged everything and waited but nothing helped.
Update software. If that doesn't work try resetting. Mine started working after the update.

When I try to open iphono on my macbook pro it says "Can't open the applicaiton because it may be damaged or incompete". How do I repair this?
1. Back up your iPhoto Library - you should always have a back up anyway.
Most Simple Back Up
Drag the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to another Disk. This will make a copy on that disk.
Slightly more complex:
Use an app that will do incremental back ups. This is a very good way to work. The first time you run the back up the app will make a complete copy of the Library. Thereafter it will update the back up with the changes you have made. That makes subsequent back ups much faster. Many of these apps also have scheduling capabilities: So set it up and it will do the back up automatically. Examples of such apps: Chronosync or DejaVu . But are many others. Search on MacUpdate
2. Reinstall
To re-install iPhoto
1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
2a: On 10.5: Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows: In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
/var/db/receipts/
2c: on 10.7 they're at
/private/var/db/receipts
A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
3. Re-install.
If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
If you purchased it on the App Store you can find it in your Purchases List. -
I downloaded and installed Production Premuim CS5 on my computer and when I try to open it out of the applications folder it bounces at the bottom and then disappears. Does anyone know why this is? I've tried everything to open them but they will not open. Does anyone else have this problem?
I have a mac osx version 10.9.2. I used to have the student version of creative cloud cs6 earlier this year. I cancelled my subscription several months ago and bought cs5 two weeks ago. I never had any problems with the cloud. I went through the entire download process for CS5, and they all showed up in my applications folder and appeared to have downloaded but every time I try to open them they bounce around next to the application manager icon and then disappear.

Need help with white spaces/halos when creating PNG
I'm using Illustrator CS6 on Windows 7. I'm trying to create some pushpins that will go on an online map. I've created the graphic in Illustrator and everything looks nice and sharp. My problem is when I try to convert this .ai file to png. The ai file is set up on 8.5 x 11 artboard with the graphic taking up the whole artboard; the final size of the png needs to be 20x34 pixels at 72 dpi.
I've tried both Save for Web and Export but no matter what I do, when I open the png in Photoshop, there is a white space between the grey pushpin and the black stroke as well as around the outside of the S. No matter what I've tried, I can't get rid of these unwanted white spaces/halos. Is there a setting I'm missing somewhere? The large image below is how it looks in Illustrator; the small image is the png opened in Photoshop. How can I get the small png to be as crisp as the large ai file? Thanks.mc-mark,
Are you sure the artwork is contained within whole pixels on the Artboard?
One way to obtain that is to move the artwork so that the Transform panel tells you that the X and Y values of the lower left corner (or centre or something else) are whole pixels/points; another way is to tick Align to Pixel grid in the Transform panel, but I am afraid that may distort the artwork when used at this stage. -

I am trying to use Google Body but I get an error message that WebGL is not initializing properly. Can you help?
It says: WebGL Renderer (WebGL unavailable)
What is the value of the WebGL prefs (webgl.disabled and others) on the <b>about:config</b> page?
Are any webgl.* prefs bold (user set)?
You can try to force webgl (webgl.force-enabled -> true) to see if that has any effect.
To open the <i>about:config</i> page, type <b>about:config</b> in the location (address) bar and press the "<i>Enter</i>" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.<br />
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.<br />
*Use the Filter bar at to top of the about:config page to locate a preference more easily.
*Preferences that have been modified show as bold(user set).
*Preferences can be reset to the default or changed via the right-click context menu. -
I have this bizarre problem with firefox and Amazon (com and co.uk)
If I click a link (open in new tab) to an amazon page the page opens in a new tab. Fine.
If I then select that page (click its tab) the page is displayed and then a new amazon page opens in a new tab with the url http://www.amazon.com/?ie=UTF8&*Version*=1&*entries*=0&link_code=hom&tag=skipthemalls-20
If I close the new amazon page and return to the original amazon page the phenomenon does not repeat - not new window opens.
This does not happen in any other browser (IE or Chrome)
This does not happen on any other website.
I've scanned my PC (Malwarebytes and security essentials) and found nothing sinister
All forefox add ons are disabled. To be sure, I've started 'restarted firefox with add ons disabled' and the problem still occurs. I've even reset Firefox to its original state and still the problem occurs.
So now what?
Windows 7 Ultimate
Thinkpad R60 4GBThat page is coded to a particular "affiliate" (skipthemalls) and may have the purpose of setting a cookie to earn a cut of revenue from your purchase. If that is not caused by the site you visited that brought you to Amazon, it's hard to think of a reason for it to open. (Even then, you would think it would be processed transparently in the background.)
More generally, when you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
(1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
Alternately, you also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now"
If you have a large hard drive, this might take a few minutes.
(2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first). While viewing a page on the site, try either:
* right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
* Alt+t (open the classic Tools menu) > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
In the dialog that opens, you can remove the site's cookies individually.
Then try reloading the page. Does that help? -
When I try to install the latest version of iTunes, during the installation I get error messages saying that a program is trying to change registry and the installation is stopped.
After this happens the only way that I can open iTunes is to do a 'system restore' to an earlier time.
Has anyone else experienced this and can you help?Could you please post the exact text of the error message or provide a screenshot?
There is advice on issues with the update at Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates. One of the entries in the further information section refers to a possible registry permissions problem which might be what you are seeing.

i can't download the 7.1OS on my iphone! i've tried multiple times on my itunes & my iphone and at first it goes soooooo slow (estimated time 5 hrs on my itunes!) and then it fails everytime.
on my itunes, it says something about a network error....
help!!I don't have any of that -- i have to update through itunes because my phone has an issue where i have to restore it, and before i can restore it, it forces you to update.
The update download shows 1.13 GB and anywhere from 13-15 hours to download.
the download has failed three times, and when it fails it doesnt resume where it left off, it starts over again.
I had let it download all day, and it was down to under 30 mins left and it failed (said it lost network connection) -- and I had to start all over again. Right now it is showing 15 hours remaining, and it is literally downloading at the rate of about 0.1 MB every 5 seconds.
And no, there is nothing wrong with my connection , i have FIOS and download everything else very fast.
In the meantime, I have no phone working at all because im forced to do this before i can restore it.
