IChat does not connect automatically at Startup

When I first turn on my computer Mail, Safari and iChat use to automatically logon and connect. I am using an Airport Extreme to make a connection to my cable modem. With my new Intel Mac the Safari and Mail connect with no problem. The iChat AV 3.1.1 now has to be manually connected to AIM service. After talking with a Apple Support person nothing has changed. Can anyone shed some light on my problem.
iMac 1.83 Ghz Intel Core Duo   Mac OS X (10.4.4)   1 GB Ram

Hi Tom
Do these look OK to you?
I am afraid not yet.
Ok the Airport device is certainly doing DHCP on your Net and this is the device that the computers can see as being closest.
In the Internet tab it also says it is getting it's IP from the Internet side also by DHCP. Now this could be from the Modem.
It could be from the ISP(Internet) if the Modem is in Bridge mode.
In the Internet tab are there any IP addresses visible ?
Do they start with 192.168.xxx.xxx or similar to the Airport itself 10.xxx.xxx.xxx or 172.(16-32).xxx.xxx (an odd part group that last one)
This would mean the modem was also a DHCP server (not good)
Or do they match the nuber you are shown when you go here
This will mean the modem is most likely in Bridge (good)

  • TS1398 iPhone 4 does not connect automatically and does not remember wifi password

    After being idle for a while, my iPhone 4 goes off wifi and when I am connecting manully, the phone does not remember the wifi password. I have a iPhone 3 and 5 where this is not a problem. Can this be linkes to the phone company you use? The iPhone 4 has a different phone company than the other phones. Can anyone help please?

    Hi Damien,
      Thanks for your reply.
      I had not created 2 separated wireless network. The airport extreme has had create wireless allowing it to be extended and the airport express has had it to extend since day 1.
      The only device that does not connect to the airport express when it is far from the airport extreme here is the iPhone 4. I've tested 2 Windows based computers, 2 Macs, 1 Samsung TV and 1 Android phone and they all are able to connect to the airport express when the signal from the airport extreme is weak (please take a look on the screen shots on the original post).
      The screenshots of the 2 devices' wireless set up can be found below:
       Airport Extreme
      Airport Express
        I have seen other people here on the Apple discussions complaining about the same issue with their iPhone 4 and iPad: would it be a iOs problem?

  • After updating to iOS-6 WiFi does not connect automatically.

    After installing the new operating system, I noticed that my iPhone 4S does not automatically reconnect to my WiFi at home.
    I have to manually connect it each time.
    Anybody notice this?
    Any patch?

    Error 1604
    This error is often related to USB timing. Try changing USB ports, using a different dock connector to USB cable, and other available USB troubleshooting steps (troubleshooting USB connections. If you are using a dock, bypass it and connect directly to the white Apple USB dock connector cable. If the issue persists on a known-good computer, the device may need service.
    If the issue is not resolved by USB isolation troubleshooting, and another computer is not available, try these steps to resolve the issue:
    Connect the device to iTunes, confirm that the device is in Recovery Mode. If it's not in Recovery Mode,put it into Recovery Mode.
    Restore and wait for the error.
    When prompted, click OK.
    Close and reopen iTunes while the device remains connected.
    The device should now be recognized in Recovery Mode again.
    Try to restore again.
    If the steps above do not resolve the issue, try restoring using a known-good USB cable, computer, and network connection.

  • Wifi does not connect automatically after sleep

    Since installing Yosemite on my Mid 2011 iMac - when my computer wakes from sleep mode, it does not automatically connect to the wifi.  I have to select the network to join from the top menu bar.  Is there anyway to make it connect automatically like it use to?  Thanks for any and all help!

    Hello ffmed124,
    The steps detailed below can help get your iMac to reconnect to your Wi-Fi network automatically after waking from sleep.
    Check your TCP/IP settings in the Network pane of the System Preferences. Click the "Renew DHCP lease" button
    Choose System Preferences from the Apple menu.
    Choose Network from the View menu.
    Select Wi-Fi, then click the Advanced button in the lower-left hand corner of the screen.
    Click the TCP/IP tab from the top of the screen.
    Click the "Renew DHCP lease" button.
    Select the Wi-Fi tab and view your Preferred Networks list.
    Select each network and click the minus (-) sign to remove those networks from your Preferred Networks list.
    Click OK and close the Network preferences.
    Remove your stored network passwords using the Keychain Access Utility. 
    Open Keychain Access from /Applications/Utilities. Your window will look like this:
    Remove your AirPort network passwords from the login keychain: Select the "login" keychain from the Keychain sidebar. Click the "Kind" column to order the list of keychain items by their type. Remove all entries of the kind: "AirPort network password".
    Remove your AirPort network passwords from the System keychain: Select the "System" keychain from the Keychain sidebar. Click the "Kind" column to order the list of keychain items by their type. Remove all entries of the kind: "AirPort network password".Note: The above steps will remove your Wi-Fi network passwords. If you do not know them, or if your network does not use passwords to restrict access, you should contact your network administrator.
    Restart your computer.
    Join your Wi-Fi network. You will need to enter your password for your network again if it requires one.

  • Bluetooth speaker does not connect automatically in windows 8.1

    before the upgrade (?) to 8.1,if i turned on my bluetooth speaker,it automatically took over from the speakers of my laptop.No drivers,no further changes needed.
    After upgrading to 8.1 i have to disconnect the speaker,connect it again,then set the speaker as my standard speaker.then it plays.every time again and again.
    how do i fix this?

    Me too.  It shows that it connects and briefly reads "Connected" and then quickly switches to "Not Connected".  My Windows Phone 8, when trying to connect to Windows 8.1 PC via Bluetooth is doing the same thing and I
    receive this both from the PC and the phone.  My phone does successfully connect to my Bluetooth speaker, but not from the PC only from the phone.   Has this been fixed yet and I missed it?  One thing
    I've learned while being a part of a smaller market share having had a Windows Phone for several years now, the solutions come quietly and sometimes go unnoticed.  Only later will I find myself thinking, "Oh yeah it works now, they've created a solution". 
    Case in point: Red Laser stopped working then shortly thereafter there was the Eye icon available at the Bing screen that can scan just about anything that can be scanned.  Is there a similar thing happening with my Bluetooth device drivers from my 8.1
    PC and I need to manually push something?  When there is a solution, will you please alert me and the rest of this thread?  Thanks much in advance!

  • Time Capsule does not connect automatically

    I have a Time Capsule 1TB. On it, I have my iTunes library so I am able to sync it between all my computer on my network (Windows PC Desktop and MacBook Air). When I start my MacBook Air and click and open iTunes it says the iTunes library can't be found. I then have to go into Finder, click on on the Time Capsule, and have it connect. At that pont 9 times out of 10, i can open iTunes without the message coming up. This does not occur on my Windows PC at all, I open iTunes with no issue.
    How can I have my Time Capsule connect automatically when I start up ? An applescript maybe ? I am running the most recent version of OS X Lion.

    Mount the Time Capsule disk.  Open the Users & Groups panel of System Preferences.  If the lock in the lower-left is "closed", click on it to authenticate.  Click the "Login Items" tab toward the right.  Drag the icon of the Time Capsule disk from the Desktop onto the login items window. Quit System Preferences.
    That volume should now mount whenever you start your Mac.

  • Mac does not connect automatically to known Networks

    hi,
    recently my Macbook has stoped reconnecting to my wifi when I open the lid and I have to do it manually.
    any idea to solves this?
    thks
    regards

    Back up all data before making any changes.
    Step 1
    Take all the applicable steps in this support article.  
    Step 2
    If you're running OS X 10.8.4 or later, run Wireless Diagnostics and take the remedial steps suggested in the summary that appears, if any. The program also generates a large file of information about your system, which would be used by Apple Engineering in case of a support incident. Don't post the contents here.
    Step 3
    If you're not using a wireless keyboard or trackpad, disable Bluetooth by selecting Turn Bluetooth Off from the menu with the Bluetooth icon. If you don't have that menu, open the Bluetooth preference pane in System Preferences and check the box marked Show Bluetooth in menu bar. Test. Continue if you find that Wi-Fi is faster with Bluetooth disabled.
    From that same menu, select Open Bluetooth Preferences. If the box labeled Discoverable is checked, uncheck it. Click the Advanced button, and in the sheet that opens, uncheck the top three boxes, if any are checked. Click OK. Enable Bluetooth and test again.
    If the application called "Bluetooth Setup Assistant" is running, quit it.
    Step 4
    This step will erase all your settings in the Network preference pane. Make a note of them before you begin, and recreate them afterwards. It may be helpful to take screenshots of the preference pane.
    Triple-click the line below on this page to select it:
    /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
    Services ▹ Reveal
    from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item named "SystemConfiguration" selected. Move the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator password.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
    Reset the System Management Controller.
    Step 5
    Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service center.
    Back up all data on the internal drive(s) before you hand over your computer to anyone. If privacy is a concern, erase the data partition(s) with the option to write zeros* (do this only if you have at least two complete, independent backups, and you know how to restore to an empty drive from any of them.) Don’t erase the recovery partition, if present.
    Keeping your confidential data secure during hardware repair
    *An SSD doesn't need to be zeroed.

  • Mouse not connecting automatically after waking from sleep

    Hi,
    When I open my MacBook after it's been asleep, my apple bluetooth (non-mighty) mouse does not connect automatically. I have to repeat the setup new device wizard to get the mouse to work. This is 100% consistent and occurs every time.
    This mouse was previously my son's and has a particular "affinity" for his computer. For example, before he deleted it from his own system preferences, the mouse would connect to his computer instead of my own even if he was rooms away from me. (this isn't strictly related, since it still occurs even if his powerbook isn't here or is sleeping).
    Thanks,
    Diane

    Hello Diane:
    Welcome to Apple discussions.
    Try clicking the mouse if it does not automatically pair.
    I would also delete the preference file (com.apple.bluetooth.plist) and restart.

    As Roger said, iCloud does not support external POP accounts.
    However, you can configure your Max to directly receive your Yahoo! email by following these instructions:
    http://hints.macworld.com/article.php?story=20110208153256491
    Note that this works (for me) without a Yahoo Plus! account - and make sure that you scroll down to the comment at the end of the article which has all of the correct settings in one place.

  • When I connect the iphone does not start automatically Itunes Please help me

    when I connect the iphone does not start automatically Itunes

    How to solve this problem that I have

    i've had a few issues like this.
    I've found that it is an issue with items that are already on your phone.
    several troubleshoots. 
    1) uncheck everything from syncing (apps, music, tv shows, movies, podcasts, etc), try to perform a sync, it most likely will work.  Then, sync after checking each item individually (check the sync box for videos, then sync, check the sync box for podcasts, then sync, check the sync box for music, then sync, etc).  One of two things will happen, 1) you will fix the problem, or 2) you will identify exactly what part of the sync setup is the culprit.
    2) if the above doesn't work, I've found that it is likely an issue with files that are on your phone but your phone doesn't exaclty recognize (for example, I had copies of music on my phone that didn't show up in the music app, I went in on itunes and manually deleted those songs from my phone and that fixed the sync).  to do this, check the "manually manage music and videos" box at the bottom of "summary" while your phone is connected to itunes.  Then, go to the left hand pane in itunes and find your iphone device, click the drop-down arrow that shows all the categories for media on your iphone.  Go to the music category in your iphone on itunes and delete all the music that shows up.  Try to perform a sync - it likely will work.  After this, you can uncheck the manually manage music box and re-sync your phone as normal
    let me know if either works

  • When I connect my iphone to my iMac, iTunes does not open automatically

    When I connect my iphone to my iMac, iTunes does not open automatically, even though I have the "open iTunes when this phone is connected" option checked. I'm on the latest Snow Leopard with iTunes 10.4 and use an iPhone 4 with iOS 4.3.4.  I think the problem began with the latest iTunes update.

    Found the answer in another discussion! Here's what worked:
    "I also had the same problem, iTunes 10.4 wouldn't launch when connecting iPhone 3GS.
    I unchecked "Launch iTunes when this iPhone is connected", restarted, launched iTunes and connected iPhone, rechecked "Launch iTunes when this iPhone is connected".  I was asked if I wanted to install iTunes helper and said yes.  All works again."

  • Outlook 2007 does not connect to exchange at computer startup

    Hi all :)
    Here's the situation we're encountring: we are using exchange 2010 with outlook 2007 clients. The issue is that at the startup of the computer, outlook does not connect to exchange (it opens up but it marks that it's not connected to exchange). After trying
    a few times it connects and stays stable (if I close outlook and I open it again, it connects normally).
    This suggests that there's may be a DNS problem: The client is having an issue resolving the name, but once it does and the IP of exchange is available in the cache, outlook doesn't face any issues.
    So I ran some nslookup commands and I noticed the following:
    when I try to resolve the name of exchange, the request times out twice before providing the answer.
    This issue occurs only for forward lookups (when I try to resolve the same IP for the hostname, there's no timeout)
    I also noticed that this issue only occurs when I run nslookup from the client machines (no timeout when I run it from exchange for instance).
    Any ideas about what the problem might be? Could it be something else other than DNS?
    Thank you all for your help.

    Hi all,
    The problem seems not to be related to DNS. Our exchange 2010 organization was actually migrated from a 2007 one. Since then we noticed this issue of outlook taking too much time to connect and sometimes disconnects. I was messing around into adsiedit and
    I noticed that a decomissioned Mailbox Server from our old exchange 2007 organization still exists among the new exchange 2010 objects.
    To further look into it, I ran best practise analyser, the result (to my surprise) was that exchange is still trying to contact the old exchange 2007 server.
    I ran some network trafic captures with Network Monitor, but I was not very successful interpreting anything.
    I uploaded the .cap files with the best practise analyser report and a print screen of the old server into adsiedit objects. I hope you'll be able to help with it.
    I took the network captures on the two CAS Servers (configured in a CAS array) and on a client machine. The IP addresses are as follow:
    client 192.168.0.47
    Domain Controller1 192.168.1.205
    Domain Controller2 192.168.1.213
    CAS1 192.168.2.216
    CAS2 192.168.2.217
    CAS Array 192.168.2.218
