I've authorized my login too many times

Adobe Live Chat: http://www.adobe.com/support/chat/ivrchat.html
They can reset your authorizations, and then you must reauthorize any devices you still need.
(Unfortunately, Adobe haven’t got round to an admin website for viewing and editing authorizations.)
Some of the representatives haven't been properly trained and don't know what to do (and claim there is nothing they can do);
in that case the only way seems to be to give up that chat and try another session hoping for a properly trained representative.
If your problem is with another device using Overdrive, Bluefire, Aldiko or similar third party app, it is recommended not to mention that app when on the chat, just mention that you have run out of authorizations  (E_ACT_TOO_MANY_ACTIVATIONS) .  Thanks to AJP_Bear for that tip.

  • IChat Leopard "attempted to login too many times" message

    I'm getting the "attempted to login too many times" message when I try to use AIM on ichat. I tried switching to 443, but no luck. Any other suggestions? Thanks.

    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6393221#6393221
    You can wait until iChatAgent disappears for the Activity Monitor before deleting the .plists
    I am not sure why it will not let you Force Quit or rather confirm a Force Quit.

  • IChat won't connect to AIM. It says I tried to login too many times.

    I was randomly using my comp when i tried to login to iChat and it tried to login several times. After it got done freaking out it suddenly said that i couldn't connect to AIM because i tried to login too many times and that i need to wait a few minutes and try again. I've tried deleting the .plist files and have also tried setting the port to a different one. It keeps coming up with the same error. Is there anyone who is also having this problem and might be able to suggest some solutions? Thanks

    I take it you are trying port 443.
    Try it without the SSL Login
    Also try deleting the com.apple.iChat.AIM.plist and com.apple.iChatAgent.plist together.
    Don't forget to restart iChat.

  • IChat Error: "attempted to login too many times" problem/solution

    *I don't know if its okay to post a new topic/question then answer it, but i was having this issue and finally found a resolution so i wanted to share it with everyone.*
    _*Your problem:*_ You Log into ichat then it suddenly begins to act crazy- logging in and out multiple times for no apparent reason... then its gives you the message, yes THE message "You have attempted to login too often in a short period of time. Wait a few minutes before trying to login again".
    You silently think to yourself, "w.t.f". lol.
    Okay, well different things worked for different people, it just depends on the time, the moment, and whether or not ichat wants to act right...
    SOLUTIONS:
    1. Change to SSL
    Go to iChat Menu --> Preferences --> Accounts --> Server Settings --> then check "Use SSL"
    2. Use Port 443
    iChat--> Preferences--> Server Settings --> Use port "443"
    3. Delete the user from my ichat accounts, by pressing the minus sign. Then waiting a couple minutes just to make sure that I would not get the logged in too many times error and re added the account.
    *4. THIS SHOULD MOST Definitely WORK:
    1.) Quit iChat if it is already open, and then open Finder.
    2.) Browse to your user folder (can be found by clicking on your main hard drive, then going to Users > Your Username.
    3.) Open the Library folder and go to the Preferences directory.
    4.) You’ll see a long list of files with a .plist extension. The one we’re looking for is com.apple.iChat.AIM.plist. When you find it, delete it by dragging the file to the trash.
    5.) Launch iChat and this time you should be able to sign in to your AIM account successfully. iChat will automatically rebuild the preference file you deleted.
    _*More INFO:*_
    Now some people may wonder "Why is this happening to me" I'll tell you why:
    The cause of the issue most likely roots from using your Mac at multiple locations (such as home, school, or work), which could lead to the preference files somehow getting corrupted. It sounds serious, but really shouldn't take more than a minute or so to resolve. Just follow the above steps...
    I wish I could take credit for all these, btu I just pulled them from different sites and forums, including forums.macrumers.com and macyourself.com
    I hope this helps someone out there Good Luck.
    Oh and feel free to add other ways to fix this weird issue.

  • Error - I have attempted to login too many times

    Anyone else had this? It asks me wait a few mins, but it has been hours now.
    It looks like some sort of problem with the app to me.

    Hi Tony - Thanks for the reply
    Did it clear itself, or did people have to change servers?

  • Can't Login (too many logins in a short period)

    Hi all, when I launch Ichat, it attempts to connect to the network many times in rapid succession and then I get a message saying that I've tried to login too many times and to wait a while and try to login later.
    Has anyone experienced this and is there a fix for it? I haven't been able to log in for 2 days now...
    thanks!

    Thanks Tony, I had actually searched thru the forums and found that suggestion someplace else. It did not work for me though.
    This morning when I tried to launch Ichat, it only logged in twice rapidly and then allowed me onto the system.
    I'm sure the problem isn't "fixed" though since I didn't do anything on my end. It just "happened" to work this morning.

  • HT1212 My Ipad has been permanently lock because incorrect password has been enter too many times. Normally, it will ask to wait for 60 minutes but this is not available, the only option, it says to connect to Itunes.  I cannot connect to ITunes either.

    What can I do to unlock the IPAD if I cannot access the device by using computer? When I connect to computer, it says I have to unlock the IPad to connect to itunes.
    I try everything but I cannot figure out what to do. I turn off IPAD and it still stay in the connect to Itunes mode. It does not goes back to wait mode.
    Any suggestion would be appreciated.

    ‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
    Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
    I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
    Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
    1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
    2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
    3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
    4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
    5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
    6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
    7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
    8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just cancelling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
    If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

  • IChat keeps telling me I've tried logging on too many times...

    Ok... so here's the story:
    I'm visiting my sister, and she has netgear... I tried logging on to iChat, and it went berserk, logging on and off several times in a row. And then a message popped up the next time I logged on saying: "You have attempted to login too often in a short period of time. Wait a few minutes before trying to login again." So... I searched on this website to see what to do about this, and I found that I need to change the port to 443... so I did it... but it won't even let me attempt to log in anymore, and the same error message keeps popping up.
    Is there a way I can reset this so it doesn't keep telling me I've tried to log on too many times? I've tried restarting, and that's just not working. Any help would be greatly appreciated... I'm gonna try turning the computer off and removing and replacing the battery to see if that words...
    thanks

  • Tab too many times moving to playback toolbar and restarting video

    I am using Captvate 2.0.   I use Captivate to create what we call LetMe videos where users can actually move through the screens using their keyboard.  When I publish the videos, I have discovered that if I forward to the next screen with a specific key (Tab) and the user Tabs too many times, the mouse moves to the payback menu at the bottom of the screen and this can actually cause the video to begin playing again from the beginning of the video (if Enter is hit at the correct setting) or at least, move the cursor out of the active field so.  Many of my LetMes have a lot of Tabs in them.  We used to use a template for these videos that did not have the playback bar (it did not have a standard skin) but this template has a restricted window size which our software now exceeds.
    Any ideas of how to deactivate this toolbar?  My users don't need this toolbar.  I have tried turning off the buttons, but the toolbar still remains active even through it is not seen.
    I cannot use Captivate the way I am using it now and may have to look for a different product unless I can find a solution.
    Thanks for your help.
    Alycia

    Hi there
    If you don't need the playback controls, just turn them off.
    Click Project > Skin > Playback Control tab and DE-select the option to show the playback controls. While you are there, double check to ensure there isn't a border enabled. Click the Borders tab and ensure the "Show Borders" check box is DE-selected.
    Cheers... Rick

  • Authenticator Problem: ProtocolException: Server redirected too many times

    My program needs to login to a certain website, and I'm using Authenticator to do this. If I supply valid credentials this works fine. However, my program needs to handle the case of the user entering invalid credentials. The site responds to invalid logins by redirecting to itself. If I type the URL into a browser, I get a login prompt, and if I enter an invalid login, it just reloads the page and gives me a new login prompt.
    Since java automatically tries to login to every page with the given authenticator, it gets stuck in a loop. Login, redirected to same site, login again, etc. until this exception is thrown:
    java.net.ProtocolException: Server redirected too many times (20)
    What's the best way to handle this? I've tried adding HttpURLConnection.setFollowRedirects(false); but it doesn't seem to work (it still redirects).

    The URL I'm connecting to is http://webservices.schedulesdirect.tmsdatadirect.com/schedulesdirect/tvlistings/xtvdService
    Here is my code. Right now it's set to assume an incorrect login if there was a redirect. It works, but it's not ideal imo.
    public int grabListings(InputSource listingsSource, Calendar start, Calendar end, URL serverURL,
