Ichat doesnt open.

Hi,
Ive had my macbookpro for about a bit over 2months now, but ive never been able to open Ichat. I click the icon and nothing happens. Any suggestions?

Only one item in my LAN has DHCP enabled, and that is my router. And the only item set with a fixed IP is a NAS drive. The remaining items are all non-fixed IP, including my primary and secondary Macs (i.e. laptop and tower) for iChat purposes.
Likewise, my friend has DHCP set on his router, with nothing set with fixed IP.
AFAIK my cable ISP does not use DHCP on its end; my router has it enabled. Likewise for my friend. (Out of curiosity, is there a way to tell DHCP is used by the cable provider other than calling their tech support?)
Each of us tried using the "Port Range Forwarding" option within our routers ... both at the same time, and with only one of us enabling this. We also used the very open range for this setting to minimize any chance of difficulty: 1024-65535. Since we had no success, Port Range Forwarding is currently turned off on each of our routers. Incidentally, this is the only place within the router we attempted any kind of port forwarding (no DMZ changes, etc).

  • Ichat doesnt open up

    I click on ichat, it doesnt open. i go to ichat/prefreces/acounts and it only shows bonjour. No ichat and the + button wont even work either.

    Run the following in Terminal and post the output, please.

  • New to imac's... ichat wont open..

    hey... im having a problem with ichat. when i click on the ichat icon from my dashboard it bounces but doesnt open. what seems to be the problem? is it actually running somewhere and i cant find it? it has the black up arrow underneath the icon.

    Hi, r!
    In Finder: Go>Applications> double click on iChat and should open. If it does, drag iChat out of the Dock and onto the Desktop to get rid of the alias. Then drag the iChat icon out of the App folder and into the Dock to reinstall it.

    You will need to provide more details as we cannot see your computer screen. Does this happen every time you launch LabVIEW? What version of LabVIEW are you using? What version of Windows? Does LabVIEW crash? If so, what were you doing at the time it crashed?

    If Safari crashes on launch and you don't have another web browser, you should be able to launch Safari by starting up in safe mode.
    You may have installed the "Genieo" or "InstallMac" ad-injection malware. Follow the instructions on this Apple Support page to remove it.
    Back up all data before making any changes.
    Besides the files listed in the linked support article, you may also need to remove this file in the same way:
    ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.genieo.completer.ltvbit.plist
    If there are other items with a name that includes "Genieo" or "genieo" alongside any of those you find, remove them as well.
    One of the steps in the article is to remove malicious Safari extensions. Do the equivalent in the Chrome and Firefox browsers, if you use either of those.
    After removing the malware, remember to reset your home page in all the web browsers affected, if it was changed.
    If you don't find any of the files or extensions listed, or if removing them doesn't stop the ad injection, then you may have one of the other kinds of adware covered by the support article. Follow the rest of the instructions in the article.
    Make sure you don't repeat the mistake that led you to install the malware. Chances are you got it from an Internet cesspit such as "Softonic" or "CNET Download." Never visit either of those sites again. You might also have downloaded it from an ad in a page on some other site. The ad would probably have included a large green button labeled "Download" or "Download Now" in white letters. The button is designed to confuse people who intend to download something else on the same page. If you ever download a file that isn't obviously what you expected, delete it immediately.
    In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere  should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
    Still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
              Install system data files and security updates (OS X 10.10 or later)
    or
              Download updates automatically (OS X 10.9 or earlier)
    if it's not already checked.

  • Some sites needs Internet Explorer and doesnt open in Safari!!!

    Hello,
    There are couple of sites that doesnt open in Safari and the messege I get is : The TIBCO General Interface product requires Microsoft Internet Explorer v. 6.0 or greater.
    The website is http://www.dsm.com.qa/dsmsite/ And then click on Love Quotes.
    Please help me with it.
    Thank you!!!

    Hi,
    As Tom says, the website is geared towards Windows Internet Explorer users only.
    The only 2 options you have are to:
    1. Send them feedback about the problem to http://www2.dsm.com.qa/dsm/DSM_ContactUs and hope they eventually increase their compatibility with other systems.
    2. Run VirtualPC so that you are effectively running Windows on your Mac (or simply buy a cheap PC).
    Sorry it's not better news.

  • Itunes doesnt Open, at all

    Ive been having this problem for a while on my laptop, Itunes doesnt open when i plug my Iphone in, or even when i open it seperatly. The process shows up in process manager but the itunes window never appears. I have tryed Uninstalling and re installing everything but it still occurs.
    Any help?

    Some questions aimed at narrowing in on possible culprits.
    (1) Does your QuickTime Player launch, or do you get an error message of some kind when you try to launch that?
    (2) If your QuickTime Player seems to be launching fine, try (by way of experiment) disabling the BonJour Service.
    In your Start Menu, right-click Computer and select "Manage".
    Expand "Services & Applications".
    Open "Services". (Maximise the window to better see what's going on.)
    Right-click the BonJour Service and select "Properties". In the "General" tab, set Start-up type to "Disabled".
    Restart the PC, and try launching iTunes again. Does it launch this time?
    If iTunes launches with the BonJour Service disabled, by any chance do you have a recent version of IOBit's Advanced SystemCare utility installed on the PC? If so, try uninstalling and reinstalling Advanced SystemCare. Can you launch iTunes with the BonJour Service enabled, now?

  • After the last update to the current Firefox I cant navigate forward or back on web pages or reload. It also doesnt open to my home page. Any ideas? I have uninstalled and reinstalled and still have the same issue.

    I cant navigate forward, back, or reload any website. It also doesnt open to my home page which is set to google. I have to click on my home page button to get there. I also cant locate the plugins or addons which I could before. I know I have several.

    Then you need a clean install.
    First export your bookmarks to a html file. (Bookmarks/Unsorted bookmarks will bring you History page where you can export your bookmarks). Note down your add-ons too.
    Uninstall the old FF using free software like Revo Uninstaller. This will delete all the root directories and registries of old FF.
    Now download the latest version of FF and install it. You can re-import your bookmarks from your saved html file.
    You may still have to do the fix in my first post.
    Post here whether this worked for you.

  • Why itunes doesnt open with windows 7 ?? [i need help]

    i just bought a new computer 1 week ago
    and downloaded all my apps and programs
    and i when i download itunes it said it works successfully
    but when i double clic on it itunes doesnt open
    what should I do?
    if anyone can help me id really appreciate it
    thankssss

    Enable the guest account in Windows 7 and see if itunes will open in that account.
    This will tell us if it's a user-specific problem, or system-wide.
    Then work through the steps here,depending on what you find in the guest account.
