IChat leaving me no options, and has dissapeared

Ok so I open up iChat. No iChat buddy list box shows up in any of my spaces, it's not hidden, tried using expose to see if it accidentally was dragged off screen somewhere. It hasn't showed up ANYWHERE. So I go to check the options, I'm not really left with much. I can't view any of the accounts that I have set up, can't add a new account, can't open preferences. What the **** is going on?

Actually use the longer post in this thread.

  • An insect got behind the screen of my MacBook and has since died, leaving a black dot on the screen. As this is a sealed unit the insect cannot be removed, any ideas.

    I believe your only option will be to get Apple to replace the screen for you, which won't be cheap.  If the machine is still covered under warranty, you could try to push the case that the screen must be defective for a bug to get in there.  Apple has been known to do free out-of-warranty service in some pretty unbelievable circumstances, that that is at their discretion, so be very pleasant and polite so they'll like you and want to help you out.    But be prepared to have to pay for the repair.
    Good luck!

  • Can any explain why the teathering option has dissapeared in GM iOS 5?

    Can anyone explain why the teathering option has dissapeared in ios5?

    You would have to ask the maker of the apps.  They are the ones who choose what versions to release and make available.

  • Calendar information has dissapeared and I cannot reenter appointments on my iPhone 4 - help

    Calendar information has dissapeared and I cannot reenter appointments on my iPhone 4 - help

    When you plug your phone into your computer and open iTunes, click on the device. You should be automatically prompted to update the software. However, you should decline at that point, and backup your device to the computer before upgrading. That way, if there are any issues, you will be able to restore it later from that backup.
    Once you have backed up the device, then you can click on the Update option and update the iOS to 7.0.4

  • Somebody has created an apple id using my gmail id. So I gave forgot password option and reset the password of the id. But for resetting the security questions, link is going to some other email id which is created by the other guy.How can I resolve this?

    When I tried to create and apple id using my gmail account i found that somebody has already created an apple id using my gmail id. So I gave forgot password option and reset the password of the id. But for resetting the security questions, link is going to some other email id which is created by the other guy. Now the problem is that the other guy also can reset my password and access my account.
    I contacted apple customer care and they are not ready to help me saying that I need to give information about the last device I logged in using this id. How can I give it when I did not create it?:) Also they are saying this account has been verified and that could happen only if someone has hacked my gmail account and verified the id using the link sent by apple.
    Later I did some experiments and found that this is a security flaw from apple. Somebody has created the id and never used it(I tried to loggin to icloud and it was saying this account was not used it any apple device). The account became verified when I reset the password.(This is a bug, account should be verified only when we click on the verification link sent by apple).
    The other mistake apple did is that they allotted my gmail account to someone before it's verified eventhough it cannot be used unless verified. Actually apple should allot the account id only after verifying the email address.
    Apple customer care is not ready to help and I am tired of fighting with them. Can any of you guys suggest any means of getting back my gmail id to use it as apple id?

    I don't think you're going to be able to. I would guess the other person used your address by accident, and when he found he couldn't access the account (because you'd changed the password) he abandoned it. Your GMail address is now locked to that account and even if it was changed you can't use it to create another.
    You already have an Apple ID, which you use to log in here; you can use that to create an iCloud account if that's what you are trying to do. If you want to create a different Apple ID just get another free address such as a Yahoo one.

  • G'day.  I am using iMovie 11 and need to clear disk space.  How can I do that using an external drive, leaving me the option to go back and make changes or access old events or projects from that external drive?

    G'day.  I am using iMovie 11 and need to clear disk space.  How can I do that using an external drive, leaving me the option to go back and make changes or access old events or projects from that external drive?

    The slightly bigger question is whether you want to move all movie content to the external drive (essentially meaning that drive will always need to be attached when you're working with your videos), or whether you just want to archive older videos off to the external drive.
    If you want to move all videos, then just move the 'Movies' folder in your home directory to the external drive, then create an alias of the external 'Movies' back in to your home directory. Now the 'Movies' icon in your home directory will point to the external drive and everything will just work (as long as the external drive is attached when you launch iMovie)
    If you want to archive older movies then each Movie should have its own subdirectory within your Movies folder. These can easily be moved off to the external drive, and moved back should you ever need to work on those movies again.

    Thanks again.
    When you log into you icloud account on your computer you are viewing data that you sync to icloud not the backups.  You can't view the backups.
    Look at the two links I provided.

  • CreativeCloud download manager has dissapeared and I can't install anything nomore

    My Creative Cloud Download Manager updated itself to the new layout but the next time I turned on my computer it was gone and I can't find it on my computer.
    One day a notification turned up to say that there was two new downloads but after I downloaded them the program disapeared again and has never showed up again.
    I've tried to download it again from Adobe's website and it downloads for a long time but then a message pops up that says that "The following problem has ouccurd: Creative Cloud for desktop couldn't be installed." and the only option I get is to cancel. There have been times when I got a message that says that I need the admin rights, I have them since it's my own homecomputer, but it never asks for the admin rights, it just says that I need them and then it won't work.
    I've also tried to download other programs from Adobe's website but that doesn't work either. I get a message that says "Google Chrome needs to start an extern program to handle the aam:-links. ..." I press Start program but then nothing happens.
    I need help with this asap!
    Thank you!

    Now I've also tried to download the applicationmanager this way :
    http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/thankyou.jsp?ftpID=4773&fileID=4437
    And it downloaded and installed but when I tried to open the program I got a message that said " Adobe Creative Cloud is needed to resolve this problem. However, it is missing or damaged. Please download and install a new copy of Adobe Creative Cloud from
    'http://www.adobe.com/go/adobecreativecloudapp' "

    Try restarting your Mac.
    If that doesn't help, open a Finder window. Select your Home folder (it has a small house icon) in the Sidebar on the left.
    Now open the Library folder then the Prefernces folder.
    Move the com.apple.desktop.plist file to the Trash. Restart your Mac one more time.
