IChat closes and then quits immediately.

Any suggestions?
I'm going to try to reinstall it.
-other than that?

I had to disable UPnP on my ADSL router. This is something I ma not particulary happy about, but at least I can start iChat now. Reinstalling 10.4.3 Combo did not resove the issue for me.

    Hi Cam,
    This suggests that the iChat appliction is not communicating with the two support folders properly.
    You will ned to reinstall the Application and InstantMessage.framework at least. (as it seems to know it can Video and Audio chat)
    Ryan's FAQ on Reinstalling You will need athe "Hard Way" to reinstall the InstantMessage.framework folder listed in Possible Problems
    After this you will certainly have to run the combo installer that mathces your OS to bring the Reinstalled parts up to match the OS.
    See this list for the 10.4.2 or 10.4.3 Combos installers.
    On rare occassions you have to reinstall all three bits.
    App, InstantMessage.framework and VideoConferenc.framework Please be awae that the last two go/in different places in iChat 3/Tiger compared to iChat 2.x/Panther, but the FAQ tells you where.

  • IChat starts and then quits right away...

    The title pretty much says it all....
    I start iChat/Tiger up and and I see the iChat window briefly (say, 2 seconds or so) and then the application disappears. It does not give an error message and it's process is most definitely dead when I check Activity Monitor. I should note that the iChat previously worked without any problems.
    Interestingly enough, it looks like it does successfully log into AIM, because after trying to start the app 10 or so times, I got an AIM message saying that I've attempted to login too many times in too short a period of time.
    Any idea what's going on? The only event I can correlate is the fact that I downloaded the newest Tiger security update this past Monday...I believe that is the only change to my computer since it was last working.
    Any help is greatly appreciated!

    Ralph,
    I have the same exact problem on two brand new macs, a mac mini and an ibook g4. I tried reinstalling ichat, which made it worse; my buddy list would no longer open, instead, the little black arrow appeared under the ichat logo, and then disappeared after a few seconds. I then copied and pasted that command into the Terminal app, and here's what I got:

  • Explorer/Safari launch and then quit immediately after Tiger

    Hi Apple Boards:
    Newbie question: i installed OS-X on my daughters iBook and all is well except under her logon IE and Safari will not launch and work. They launch and immediately quit. Log from console is below...
    Not sure if this is a keychain problem and would appreciate any all suggestions about how to diagnose/fix. The rest of her environment seems to be OK, and IE and Safari work under my and her sister's logon on the same machine...
    Thanks!

    Blackford --
    I can't believe no one has answered this since January.
    Yikes !!!
    I'm no expert here, just another Mac user,
    but there appears to be a real problem with the "Speakable Items."
    Does she need this to be on?
    Speakable items can be set up in System Preferences>Universal Access>Voice Over (om or off). It can also be turned on and off toggling the F5 key at the top of the keyboard. Perhaps it got turned on accidently?
    Also it looks like there's a problem with Startup items.
    Check those in System Preferences>Accounts>HerAccount>Startup items.
    What is selected to be in the startup items, please???
    Get back to us, OK?

  • CS6 Dreamweaver and InDesign quit immediately on startup.

    I have installed CS6 Design and Web Premium on a MacBookPro OS10.9.4 that also has CS5 Design and Web Premium installed.  Photoshop, Illustrator, Bridge, Fireworks and Flash all open without problem. BUT CS6 Dreamweaver and InDesign quit immediately on startup. CS5 programs all still open without problem.

    Yes! I beleive this is a bug in the Installer where it leaves ~/Library/Preferences/Adobe InDesign/Version 8.0 marked read-only, and then InDesign crashes early in the startup process (in the "AdobeBIB" component) when it tries to write its preferences and it fails to do so.
    This is a longstanding bug and nobody understands why the installer messes it up.
    So the answer is to either trash the above folder, or to hit Cmd-I (File Info) on it in the Finder and make sure it is set to read-write under Sharing and Permissions.
    I just got done complaining a lot about this to Adobe, actually, last night. Bugs 3478250, 3478260, 3478263, 3478267, and 3424687.
    (Of course, I might be wrong and it could be somethign totally different).
    If the above doesn't work, try a new user account on your machine.
    Oh, and also, you'll need to hit Cmd-Shift-G in the Finder and type in ~/Library to get to the hidden library folder (though there are other ways).

  • Safari won't open...freezes and then quits

    I'm running 10.3.9 and whenever I open Safari, it will open, freeze and then quit. I have the Cubs home page as the default page but I can't keep Safari open long enough to change it.
    I can't keep Safari open long enough to do anything, except submit more of those inane "Crash Reports" to Apple which probably don't do anything.
    Has anyone else had this problem? Does anyone know how to fix it? I've done Disk Utility and that hasn't helped.
    Any thoughts?

    Hi econwriter5!
    The first thing I would do is trash the Safari preferences, and Cache.
    HD > USERS > HOME > LIBRARY > CACHES
    Trash:
    Safari (Folder)
    HD > USERS > HOME > LIBRARY > SAFARI
    Trash:
    Icons (Folder)
    History.plist (File)
    HD > USERS > HOME > LIBRARY > PREFERENCES
    Trash:
    com.apple.Safari.plist
    Good Luck!

    In System Prefereneces, when I am in Desktop and Screen Saver, I am unable to remove folders. I can click the "-" and the folder appears to be gone, but when I close and then reopen System Preferences, and open Desktop and Screen Saver, the folder reappears in the list. I have tried deleting preferences "plist" but I am totally unable to remove the folders.

    I've seen one other report like yours, and I think the issue is caused by a bug, but I don't know what triggers it.
    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, or by corruption of certain system caches. 
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and  Wi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • HT4623 When I try to launch the Itunes app on my Iphone, it starts and then quits right away.  What should I do?

    When I try to launch the Itunes app on my Iphone, it starts and then quits right away.  What should I do?

    I would reinstall iOS 7.
    Open iTunes (11.1 or later) on your computer and plug your iPhone into your computer.
    Sync your iPhone with iTunes.
    Click on your iPhone device and from the Summary Tab, Back up using iCloud and/or iTunes.
    On your iPhone, open Settings/iCloud and turn off Find My Phone.
    In iTunes, click on the Restore button on the Summary tab next to Check for Updates.
    iTunes will completely wipe your phone and reinstall iOS 7.
    Setup your iPhone as new and restore from your back up.
    Check to see if the iTunes app is functioning correctly and not closing on you.
    I did this last night when setting Limit Ad Tracking kept closing Settings and taking me back to the Home screen. After reinstalling iOS 7, the issue went away.

  • ICal creates blank calendars and then quits

    I was publishing my calendars and synching Ical to my .Mac account. Now, Ical keep creating new blank calendars and then quitting! Help!

    Try this:
    Locate the folder ~/Library/Application Support/iCal and drag it to your desktop
    In the folder ~/Library/Prefeences/ delete any files (2-4) that start com.apple.iCal and end .plist
    (~ represents your home directory)
    Start iCal. Let me know what happens. I expect it will start with two blank calendars, no syncing and no publishing, but there are other possibilities. If we get that far we can then try restoring your original calendars.
