IChat continually logs me in and out when I try to open it

When I try to open iChat, the application continually logs me in and out in rapid succession and then an error message appears saying that I have tried to log in too many times in a short period of time and cannot log on. Why can I not open my iChat and how do I fix this problem?
My friends have told me that AOL instant messenger shows that I am logged on but I cannot even open my iChat. It even says I am logged on when my computer is turned off. I am totally confused and don't understand why this is happening. Please help!
Thanks.

I upgraded to snow leapord and now when I try to open some of my pictures in Iphoto I get a "!". They are still in the thumbnails but when I click on them they wont open. Any help out there?

Have you delete any original photos recently?
What version of iPhoto?
Back up your iPhoto library, Depress and hold the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - rebuild your iPhoto library database

Try updating your QuickTime to the most recent version. Does that clear up the DEP errors in iTunes?

1)Copy this below from --{code} to --{code}
--{code}
set p2l to "" & (path to library folder from user domain)
set the_cache to p2l & "Caches:com.apple.iWork.fonts"
tell application "System Events"
          set maybe to exists disk item the_cache
          if maybe then delete disk item the_cache
end tell
if maybe then
          display dialog "I deleted the file :" & return & the_cache
else
          display dialog "The file :" & return & the_cache & return & "was unavailable !"
end if
--{code}
2) Than open Applescript Editor in your applications and paste it
3) Than select "Compile"
4) Than select "Run"

My ipad keeps crashing and restarting when I try to open camera

My ipad keeps crashing and restarting when I try to open camera. Whenever I attempt to open my camera, the screen turns black, and then the ipad crashes and restarts on its own. Everything else works fine. Is anyone familiar with this problem?

You can't upgrade to iOS 7 you can only upgrade to iOS 7.1.
In case that 7 is a typo what is the error that is occurring?

I have saved my project to my harddrive and then when I try to open it on another computer that uses final cut I am unable to open the edited project

i have saved my project to my harddrive and then when I try to open it on another computer that uses final cut I am unable to open and edit the project

Assuming this is an external HD, use finder to select the drive with your original computer, then press Cmd+i to show info. Go to the bottom of the info window and make sure 'Ignore ownership of this volume' is checked so that other computers can access it.

Thanks to user turingtest2 for this solution.
Solving MSVCR80 issue and Windows iTunes install issues.
If the above doesn’t do the trick entirely, then use the instructions in the following as it applies to the version of Windows you are using:
HT1925: Removing and Reinstalling iTunes for Windows XP
HT1923: Removing and reinstalling iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
You may be required to boot into safe mode to complete the folder deletion process.

I upgraded to Firefox 6 and now when I try to open it, a window says there's already a copy of Firefox open and there can only be one at a time but there is no other copy!

I was trying to update my Firefox profile from my old computer and it didn't work and as I was in the middle of that process I was prompted to upgrade to Firefox 6 which I did. But now when I try to open Firefox, it won't let me because it says there's another copy already open. I have taken everything related to Firefox except the brand new version of it I just downloaded off my computer and I still get that message. What should I do?

I have a similar problem; but I think the cause of the "already running" message is that my computer crashed.
I rebooted before I learned to look for the parent lock file, but even when I knew to look for it, I found my original profile folder to be empty.
So I created another profile folder, and FF works, but I cannot access my old profile folder. When I open the location where it should be, nothing's there. But if I go to profile manager, I see my original profile is still there (and it has a location, it's where it should be - and where it's invisible, but even if I type in this location, nothing comes up).
I tried making all folders visible (I run Windows 7), but this did not make my old profile visible.
I want to find it because of the bookmarks I bookmarked recently.

WhenI close firefox, and later when I try to open firefox again, it says it is already open, although it shows to be closed---don't know when it is closed or not, don't like this

When I close firefox, it closes, then later when I try to open firefox again a message opens and says firefox is already running, ---have to open task manager to close firefox before it will open again, browser may have been open for hours and didn't show to be---why does this happen, don't know when firefox closes or not------

Hi there,
You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes in order to get it working again. Take a look at the article below for more information.

I was sent a giant message on iMessage and now when I try to open iMessage it crashes. Help!

I was sent a giant message on iMessage and now it crashes when I try to open it. Please help!

If you haven't already done so, then try closing the Message app via the taskbar and see if it works when you re-open the app : from the iPad's home screen double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Message app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
If that doesn't work then try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
