IChat cannot send or receive files (images, etc...), crashes.

One particular machine (10.4.11, G5) cannot use iChat to send or receive files. If she attempts to send an image, for example (jpg, just dragged into the text field and sent) she gets an error that reads "AIM error: Could not send instant message to xxx" followed by "The iChat Agent process has unexpectedly quit, disconnecting you from all services. Logging in again will restart it."
This happens to every user account on the machine, .Mac users, AIM users, etc... testing with Adium works fine with the same accounts.
Performed an archive and install, trashed all iChat prefs, ran Onyx, AppleJack, etc... nothing has worked.

So it seems to be a system issue (fails in multiple users), and yet it must be something that isn't replaced by an Archive and Install. Has anyone seen this before, or have any idea on how to fix?
Thank you VERY much.

Hi
Try logging on to AIM on port 443 rather than port 5190.
Go to IChat in the menu bar > Preferences > Accounts.
Log out of AIM and then use the Server Settings tab
Set the port to 443.
Log back in again.

Hi,
If this is iChat 5 or earlier and an AIM Login then change the port in iChat Menu > Preferences > Accounts > Server Settings tab to port 443 when you are logged out of AIM.
More info would be helpful.

What email account are you having an issue with?
Try removing the account you are having an issue with and then re-add the account via settings > mail, contacts and calendars.
A lot of times this fixes the problem with sending and receiving mail.
Also, check this articles out http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3899 and http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4810

Send and Receive Files

I found that on my desktop computer I cannot send or receive any files (pictures, documents, etc). However if I log into skype on my Android phone i can receive and send files. Why is this happening and how can I fix it?
I'm on Skype Version 7.2.59.103
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Try to reset all Internet Explorer settings:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/923737
Next reset LAN settings:
Open Internet Explorer. Go to Tools -> Internet Options -> Connections -> LAN settings. Make sure that the only option selected is “Automatically detect settings”.
Next clear all Temporary Internet Files:
Open Internet Explorer -> Tools -> Internet Options -> General. In the section “Browsing history” press the “Settings” button and in the next window the “View files” button. Delete all files from the Temporary Internet Files folder.
Reboot your computer and test now what happens when you open this link in your Internet Explorer.

Cannot send nor receive email on new iMac; migrated settings from MacBook

I just recently bought a new aluminum iMac. I migrated files & settings, including Mail settings from my MacBook to the iMac. Despite the copied settings, I cannot send nor receive messages on the new iMac. I have always been able to send & receive e-mail on my MacBook, so I would think the same settings should work on the iMac.
I have tried Connection Doctor, and I am getting successful connections on both the POP Account and SMTP server.
I have compared settings between the MacBook & iMac, and they are the same. My MacBook uses Tiger and doesn't have the option of default & custom ports. It is set to port 25. I have tried custom ports of 25 & 587 on the new iMac as well as the default port option. None of those seem to work.
Is there something else that could be wrong or anything else I can try? Thanks ahead of time for any assistance.

This might work:

I cannot send or receive messages on iMessages since password reset.

I forgot the password to login to my Mac and had to reset it using my Apple-ID. Prompts then came up asking me to put in my icloud/facetime etc passwords. I had to figure out my old password in order to login to the Apple keychain or something to be able to automatically login to the Wifi and such. I did manage to recover my password and everything seems to work fine now except iMessages though, which I didn't realize until someone sent me an iMessage that I never got and I noticed that I also couldn't send any messages back even though I was connected to the internet. I tried logging out of iMessages and back in, but that only made things worse as I couldn't even log back in and had to change my Apple-ID password to log back in (because putting in my Apple-ID for the iMessages password in the prompt that came up after I put in my Apple-ID password didn't work). Now I am logged back in but still cannot send or receive messages.

I have restarted and now I realize that I am still having the issue with not being able to access the keychain "login", so I get 3 options, to either continue, create a new keychain or update the keychain password. According to some Apple page I found the password for the login keychain should be the old password (which I forgot). Even though I recovered this password, this doesn't work. I also tried my original Mac password, and my Apple-ID password. I don't know what else it could be. Should I just make a new login keychain at this point?

Eudora 5.1 Cannot send or receive mail even after "correct" settings entered

I recently joined Fios after the reps assured me I could use Eudora with Verizon as I had with Comcast. It'd be tough to switch programs at this point since I have 15+ years worth of emails, folders, etc.--------------------- I changed the settings to the ones all shown all over this forum & the internet, but still cannot send or receive. I get an SSL Negotiation error immediately upon hitting the send or check email button. Below are pics of all my settings, along with the error message. Any help would be great. thanx alot.

This is for an updated version of Eudora (7.1), but you may find it helpful:http://forums.verizon.com/t5/Verizon-net-Email/problems-sending-email-what-authentication-is-needed/m-p/634259#M14630 Everything else I could find with a quick search suggested you have to update Eudora to resolve this issue.

Cannot send or receive mail after installing iOS6 on iPhone4

Cannot send or receive mail after installing iOS6 on iPhone4.
All email accounts are still fine and not lost but ever since I installed iOS6 I cannot send any new email and I am not receiving either. That includes my Exchange, Yahoo and Hotmail. I didn't loose any old email in my Inboxes.
Can someone help please. thanks.

I am having a similar problem. I have iPhone 4 with the updated iOS6 and a Hotmail account. Mail had been working after the update, but I noticed that wasn't really pushing my mail like it used to before the update. I wouldn't get notifications after the update and when I open the Mail app, it would take much longer to download emails. I decided to remove my Hotmail account and then re-add the account to the phone to see if that would fix the problem. No such luck. Now I have zero emails in my inbox on my phone when there is new email sitting in my Hotmail inbox on my laptop. I've tried to delete and add the account multiple times now while rebooting the device and nothing changes...I've looked into other fixes mentioned here that say to change the settings on cellular date, airplane mode, push vs fetch, etc. and nothing is working. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Cannot send or receive text -1 message

Has anyone else received this message? I cannot send or receive text messages! Help!

Here's what I figured out. My last iTunes backup was in some way corrupted. I had my carrier back up my contacts on an additional SIM card. I then reset up phone to factory setting with the original sim card in the phone. Once rest, I took out the sim card and replaced with my contacts sim card and imported contacts. Once uploaded, I then switched back to the original sim card. From there I plugged into iTunes and treated my phone as a new phone. I was then able to add in all my apps, music, etc. Lost all my settings, but I can now text without any issues.

Cannot send or receive video messages on Windows X...

Hello,
Can anyone please help with this issue. I cannot send or receive any video messages from my desktop. I have Windows XP ; and I do not use the Internet Explorer.
I have looked through the Community Blog and deleted some files from the Skype folder. However installing the latest version of skype and restarting computer hasnt helped. In fact, the video message option doesnt even light up. That is: I can't select that option at all.
Is it some glitch? What can I do to rectify this.
I can see the link to the video if someone sends it to me but as soon as I click the play button; it just gets blocked.
Any help will be greatly appreciated. Many Thanks
Solved!
Go to Solution.

It's not a glitch. Sending Video Messages was never available on Windows XP computers. This feature is only available on Windows 7 and higher systems.
You should be able to receive Video Messages. However, for this you need to install the latest Internet Explorer IE8 version for Windows XP and download Flash Player for Internet Explorer.

Messages will not send or receive files.

My messages app picks and chooses when it will send and receive files. Usually they are images or videos but also some Pages documents. Bringing up the file transfer window shows the spiraling download bar for receiving files and sending files will say "sent 0 kb of ____" and not move. Is there anything I can check to

Hello Sue,
I have an iPad 3, iPad Mini and iPhone 5S and they are all sluggish on capitalisation using shift keys. I hope that Apple will solve the problem because it is driving me crazy.
I find using a Microsoft Surface and Windows 8 phone, which I also have, work as well as all the ios devices before the ios 7 upgrade.
It has something to do with the length of time that you need to hold the shift key down. The shift key needs to be held longer than the letter key for the capitalisation to work. For some reason, this is a major change in the way we have learnt to touch type on computers. I am having to relearn how to type!
