IChat doesn't open--period. Bus error?

I just received my new iMac (Intel Core Duo, woohoo!) on Saturday, and the very first time I tried to open iChat was about an hour ago. All I got was a couple bounces, and then.. failure. Rebooting doesn't make any difference. I tried opening it in Terminal using this method:
/Applications/iChat.app/Contents/MacOS/iChat -errorLogLevel 7
The error log in Terminal said "Bus error" and nothing else. Can someone explain what this means, and how I can fix it?
Brand new iMac! Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Turns out iChat isn't the only one I'm having trouble with. Other programs that won't open: Mail, Address Book, any Big Bang games.. all with the same bus error thing. I did open Big Bang Checkers once (before trying iChat), but as soon as my friend connected to my game, the game crashed--haven't been able to open it since.

I just downloaded Ilife 9 and now my Iphoto doesn't open. The error message says: You cannot open your library using this version. Quit and use the older version. What can I do?

iLife '09 is not available as a download - it is only available as a purchase
iLife '11 is available as a DVD purchase and the compoments of it are available from the App Store (iPhoto '11 (version 9.1.5), etc)
Exactly what did you do? And exactly what does the error message say?
On the surface it appears that you are attemptying to open a new library with an older version (iPhoto '09 can not open an iPhoto '11 library for example)

OER 11.1.1.7 - Asset Navigator doesn't open with an Error - Missing Required permissions attribute in main jar

Hi,
I have installed OER-11g version 11.1.1.7 and am successfuly able to open Asset Editor , ImpExp utility and also could harvest SOA and OSB components.
Issue 1:
However while trying to open the Navigator of the harvested components in OER console, a new window opens with two sections ( top and bottom). The top one which is a diagram view doesn't open with an error - Missing required permissions attribute in main jar: http://localhost:7101/oer-web/applets/components.aler-thinkmapclient-11.1.1.7.0.jar.
Please find the screenshot below.
Issue #2 : While trying to browse for the Assets from OER console. The below error is seen ( missing permissions for components.jexplorer-11.1.1.7.0.jar)
Could someone direct me on how to solve this issue. Appreciate your help !
Thanks and regards,
Sridhar.

It works for me after I did a small tweak by as mine is a demo install.
Idea - is to make an security exception for the OER url in Java control console
Steps to do that :
1.Go to the control panel and uninstall the 64 bit version of Java
Open Programs and Features and select the 64 bit version of Java and select Uninstall.
2.Open up the Java Control Panel
Found as an option in the standard windows control panel
3.Check the version by clicking on the About Tab
If this is not what you expected you can go to java.com and download the latest version.
4.Click on the Security Tab in the Java Control Panel
5.Click on the Edit Site List button in the lower RH corner of the control panel
6.Add your URL to be allowed
Enter the full path that you use to access this such as https://myequallogics.com or the IP address if that is how you access it (as in http://192.168.0.100 - Https is recommended by Oracle.) Once complete hit OK. You should now see the exception on the security page.
7.Close out of the control panel.
8.You can now acess your site through the browser window.
Thanks to Java error: Missing required Permissions manifest attribute in main jar - Spiceworks for letting me know this.
regards,
Sridhar

IChat doesn't open at all after update

So I've been reading all the posts about the problems with the video part of iChat not working after the update... but my iChat doesn't open at all. It says iChat in the top bar (Next to the apple) But nothing happens. The buddy list doesn't pop up and all the options under the pull down menus are gray and unclickable. (haha, not sure if thats a word, but we'll work with it ;] ). Anyways, if anyone has any idea how I can go about fixing that, that would be awesome.
Thanks!

If the iChat menu does not give you access to Log a Screen Name in to the AIM servers and the Window Menu does not list any Account/Screen Name then work through this FAQ

Can anybody help?

Ituens doesn't open. qtcf.dll error. tried everything

I updated my itunes and now I'm getting that all too popular wtcf.dll error.
first I tried to repair quicktime. nothing worked
I tried to reinstall itunes.
I uninstalled ituens and instaled it again
I uninstalled quicktime and installed that again
I downloaded a qtcf.dll file from thei nternet and put on my desktop, in the Windows foldar, and also in the system32 folder.
nothing has worked so far. I also get a startup error too related to ituneshelper.exe

I downloaded a qtcf.dll file from thei nternet and put on my desktop, in the Windows foldar, and also in the system32 folder.
Let's first remove those three files, tidus. Having a QTCF.dll lurking about in unorthodox places on the PC can actually cause errors.
I also get a startup error too related to ituneshelper.exe
That suggests you're getting a rare version of the QTCF.dll error caused by a damaged Apple Application Support. (If AAS is broken, sometimes iTuneshelper isn't able to launch either.)
Let's try the procedure I suggest to fizzylove in the following thread:

Does that help with the QTCF.dll?

Disk utility doesn't open, trash works incorrectly.

After updating to 10.7.3 I have noticed that Disk Utility no longer opens. It pops up into the utility bar for a few seconds, bobs up and down a couple of times, then disappears. The next time I click on Disk Utility I don't even get that much of a response. It just doesn't open. No error report, no pop ups saying that it can't be opened - Nada. I can't use disk utility AT ALL anymore. I've tried Zapping my PRAM, but that's about it.
The other thing I've noticed is that any time I put something into the Trash Bin it automatically tells me that it will delete the item - it doesn't sit in the trash bin like it used to until you manually delete it. The only time I can get it to behave normally is when I am using an external drive and I put something from the external drive into the trash bin.

Repairing the permissions of a home folder in Lion is a complicated procedure. I don’t know of a simpler one that always works.
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the page that opens.
Drag or copy — do not type — the following line into the Terminal window, then press return:
chmod -R -N ~
The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. When a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) appears below what you entered, it’s done. You may see a few error messages about an “invalid argument” while the command is running. You can ignore those. If you get an error message with the words “Permission denied,” enter this:
sudo !!
You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up.
Next, boot from your recovery partition by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
When the recovery desktop appears, select Utilities ▹ Terminal from the menu bar.
In the Terminal window, enter “resetpassword” (without the quotes) and press return. A Reset Password window opens.
Select your boot volume if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select  ▹ Restart from the menu bar.

ITunes new version doesn't open at all. Gives error message

I downloaded 7.4.3 version of iTunes and it doesn't open at all. Gives error message. "iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close."
I have previous version of iTunes in my spare HD, in the same computer, and it works perfectly fine.
I have unistalled and re-installed again and again many times including with the help of Apple Support help in the phone and came up with no clues of what's going on.
How can I get a previous version of iTunes to download to my PC? I have looking for a place on Apple's website where I could probably have my issue resolved, but I found nothing.
Thank you.

Thanks to Jim Zack, the problem is solved.

FF 6.0 doesn't open pdf-links, after clicking on "open pdf" error message says file not supported or damaged. IE opens file all right. Please advice.

Firefox 6.0 doesn't open pdf-links after clicking on "open pdf". I frequently need to do literature searches and I need to view pdf files in the browser. After clicking on the pdf - link of a file the main options are to open or download the pdf. Every time I try to open a pdf-file a blank page and an error message appears saying the file would not be supported or is damaged. IE, however, opens the file all right. I tried various changes in the security and cookie settings without success. Please advice.

Hi SGckc,
This document is almost certainly a dynamic XFA form. Unfortunately, our mobile Reader does not support displaying or filling such forms. The application that produces this form embeds this message into the document so that non-supportive viewers (like ours) will display this "error" page when the document opens. I do realize that this is confusing and I would like to add some additional detection to our Reader for this case. However, we've avoided doing this for fear of confusing users even further. Your feedback helps though. Hopefully we'll find a way to detect this case and present a better message to the user like: This form is not supported by the mobile version of the Adobe Reader. Please open and fill it on the non-mobile version of the Adobe Reader for Windows, Linux or Mac OSX.
Thank you for contacting us!
