IChat Log In Issues

I can't log into by iChat. I've gone into settings and made sure the password is correct. But I keep getting prompted to enter a password and it kicks me out. Used to work just fine, but about a month ago it started with this issue.i

HI,
It would be useful to know the iChat version and the type of Account (Screen Name or ID) you are using.
For Instance an @mac.com name will work as a AIM valid Screen Name.
Depending on which iChat version you will determine which items are in the Add Account drop down (with ichat 6 there is only AIM and you have to enter the name in full).
@me.com and @icloud.com ending Apple IDs are also valid Names but you have to using iChat 6 (or Messages in Mountain Lion) to Login due to extra security Apple uses on those IDs.
They will not work in iChat 5 or earlier.
If you have changed the password at Apple recently and gone over their 16 character limit AIM has you also will not be able to Login.
If you have an AIM name or an @mac.com name then try signing in here.
This may tell you if your account has been suspended.
Staying with AIM there can be issues with an SSL login sometimes.
Manually change the "Enable this Account" and then tick the box again.
If you were suddenly dropped by the server the .plist involved may have a different state to what the server thinks (it says you're Logged in when the server says your not) At this point it will tend to think you are not you and refuse the login.
There can be similar issues with Jabber (Google) logins.

Parental Controls iChat Logs not working

I use parental controls on both of our family Macs--a G5 tower and an Intel iMac. I have set up the controls so that each child has exactly the same controls by copying the settings from one computer to the other (I don't remember which I set up first). On the G5, the iChat logging is working fine (as are the other logs)--I don't restrict iChat, but I do want to see the logs. On the iMac, though, while the other logs are fine, the iChat log is missing for all 3 children. I can't find any threads that address this specific issue. Any ideas/hints?
Thanks,
Lou

A debt of gratitude goes out to this guy for solving the issue.

Essentially, make sure the email address listed in the Mail.app account of the person receiving the "Always allow" mail and the email address listed in Parental Controls>Mail>notify are the same.

IMac 27" Late 2013 Wi Fi Log in Issue

Hello everyone,
I apologize if my questions have been asked in the past. I'm completely new to the Apple Mac OS. I bought a new iMac 27" in the middle of 2014 and use it about once or twice a week and have had no issues to-date. I'm still in the process of learning though so my use of it is limited to basic emailing, web browsing and Skype.
In the last 2 weeks I have had problems logging into my Wifi network at home. It would not log on even after I had reset the modem. After trying and rebooting my iMac 3-4 times it would finally do so without changing anything in the it. I'm not sure what is causing it, but thought I would ask here.
What would be causing the log in issue to my Wi Fi network?
Do I need to be concern with the findings in the Etre check?
Startup after logging in my password would take longer than usual...what would be causing it?
Here is the result from the Etre scan. I guess what concerns me is in red...and also if it shows the Wi Fi log in issue.
Thank you in advance for your help and advice.

Hi, Jiyujin.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I would need some clarification of the reference to log on and a little more information about the behavior to provide a better answer. However, here is a troubleshooting article that may help.

Send mail to the user who logged the issue

Hi,
As it is currently the mail goes to the key user, which is a business partner. That is an organization. However several users are maintained under a business partner.
So now the mail goes to all these users at a status change. However can we only have the user who logged the issue getting the mail. Can you please advice me on how to get this?
Thanks loads.
Keshi

Hi.. Thanks for all ur replies..
Yes we hv assigned the key user as a business partner which is an organization,, This is also and requirement,
But since the mail is activated as to the key user it goes to all the users in that group, under teh business partner.
But when configuring this came across the Partner, in which we selected it as key user. But there were also other partners as Creator,Reported by etc..
I tried using both these but again it didnt work. Can anyone suggest anything?
Yes, when u assign the key user as a business partner and assign several users to it you can send multiple mails to users
Any help on this is very much appreciated,.,
Thanks all for replying once again.

LION screen sharing and remote log in issues

Hi,
In Snow Leopard I could access my iMac screen from my macbook and have the iMac restart and allow me to log in and continue to use the iMac.
In Lion I cannot access the log in screen remotely after a restart.
I need to go to the iMac and actually log into it with the keyboard before it will show up again on the network.
I tried to adjust the sharing preferences but nothing is allowing me to manage the iMac and restart it from a different machine.
Once I am logged in the screen sharing works fine. It's the log in issue that is not working for me.
thanks for any help in advance,
christos

i have not been able to get screen sharing to work at all, which has never been a problem for me. i'm registered as an authorized user on both computers, the passwords are correct, but it keeps telling me that the username/passwords don't work. and this is after the computers have already been "connected" using the exact same passwords and user name.

Dreamweaver log in issues

Is there anyone experiencing log in issues to B.C. through Dreamweaver? My log in issue started about a few hours ago. I can log in directly to B.C., but when I try to log in using the same name and password that I've always used, I can't log in.

Hey Legacys7, please PM me your login details and I'll test this for you. If you can access admin you should be able to log in to BC Extension. It's using the same auth system.
Cheers,

Any way to password protect iChat logs?

Hey everyone,
Hoping you all can help me.. is there any way to password protect my iChat logs / individual files natively or even with a 3rd party program?
The reason why I ask is that I am a college student, and sometimes let other people borrow my laptop.. this isn't really a problem but sometimes they like to snoop around and I never know what I may have or may not have said, and it'd be much easier just to have a password and not tell them it then try to force myself to get the laptop back.. because of course they are majorly curious.
Thanks in advance,
Troy

Welcome to Apple Discussions, Troy.
Yes, you can create you can create a new encrypted folder and put all your files you want password protected in it. Use Disk Utility and File menu, "New image" icon. This Apple support article will explain how to create a disk image and encrypt it.
Tip: Do not chose to add it to keychain, or else it will not be encrypted.

Facetime and Message log in issue

Hi to all,
I would like to seek your assistance with the Facetime and message log in issue that I am having.
I recently installed the Mountain Lion OS 10.8, now using version 10.8.2, on my personal laptop, Macbook Pro (Mid-2009 model). I have tried many times to log into both applications via my Apple ID but have been unsuccessful.
This afternoon I tried accessing Facetime on my work laptop (Macbook 2010 model, OS Lion 10.7.5) via my Apple ID and it worked.
Can someone please help me in resolving my log in issue with my personal laptop? Much appreciated.
Kind Regards,
Wing Kuen

I would make sure you are logged into iCloud in the System Preference pane, "Icloud".
Then go the the indivusial prefrences of Facetime and Messages, and try to log in.
Hope this helps!

Ichat logs me out and back in every 30 seconds.

HI, my ichat logs me out every 30 seconds that i am on line, and after i log back in about 5 times it says that i have attempted to log in too often in a short period of time, i have already tried swiching to port 443 and it still has the same problem, i am curently in saudi arabia, i would be very grateful if you could help me fix this problem, thannks

Hi,
If this is WiFi I would go to System Preferences > Network > Airport and enable Robust Connections.
If that does not solve or you are using Ethernet I would look at the Router Set up pages and check the Lease time on the DHCP Server.
Again if WiFi try changing the channel of the routing device to see if that improves things.
It may be that you are getting some sort of interference form someone else close by on a close or the same channel.
(the Robust setting should clear up interference form other domestic items such as power bricks for Printers and the like or Microwave ovens or power cables in walls)
The lease time being particularly short should not really effect things but it is worth checking and changing to something longer.

Ichat file transfer issues

Hi, is anyone else experiencing as issue with iChat where if you send over a file like an mp3 it says unexpected error in the file transfer box after the recipient accepts the file? The process was working yesterday and has done this all day. Please someone help.

Hi,
Welcome to the  Discussions
Some people are reporting that GoogleTalk files sending is a bit suspect with iChat
Some others are reporting issues with Snow Leopard to Leopard File Sharing although it works Leopard to Snow Leopard with the same computers. (AIM based Buddy lists)

2 iChat 4.0 issues

I have two separate issues with iChat 4.0:
I am running 10.51 on an iMac Core Duo 2.0 GHz connected to the internet via wire through an AirPort Extreme n base station. I am also running a MacBook Core Duo 1.83 GHz connected to the internet via WiFi through the same AirPort Extreme n base station. Each computer has their own AIM account.
Issue 1:
I am trying to video chat with a relative on a PC using the latest AIM software and a brand new Logitech ?8000? webcam. We are able to connect, but occasionally it seems to be a one way connection. My relative can see me, but I cannot see him. Any thoughts?
Issue 2:
When I try to connect to AIM via iChat 4.0 on the MacBook, with a separate log in account than is on the iMac, it appears to connect. However, there are no buddies listed in the Buddy List. When I add a Buddy, it still does not appear on the list. If I manually try to send a message to someone, it tells me "Your privacy preferences are set so they prevent you from communicating with this person". When I check my privacy preferences, it is selected that I can connect to anyone. This account does not appear to be online, when I check on the separate iMac account. Additionally, I can log in to the other account on the MacBook and it works just fine.
Any help with either or both issues is much appreciated....
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Issue 1.
Video chatting to AIM has become increasingly difficult.
AIM 5.9 works if the person is On XP but does require some setting up.
Read both yellow boxes on this page http://www.ralphjohns.co.uk/page12.html
AIM 6.1 does work on XP but is no longer download-able
AIM 6.5 works according to some people but does say on the AIM site that it does not Video to iChat.
In All cases if the camera on the PC is disconnected the app needs to have the link to the Camera re-established.
In AIM 5.9 it is the whole "tuning" thing again (Short cut to the Instruction at message 570).
In AIM 6.1 and 6.5 it means selecting the camera in the Preferences for AIM and in the Enhanced IM tab.
In AIM 6.1 these are accessed by pressing F7 (I am not sure about what to press in AIM 6.5)
Issue 2.
Check the iChat > Window menu
Does this list the Accounts and the keystrokes ?
In the iChat menu itself is the Preferences an option you can access ?
Also in this menu in the sub menu item Accounts can you see the accounts ?
If the Accounts do not show up and you can not see your iChat Preference or access them then Quit iChat.
Now open Activity Monitor from Applications/Utilities
search the List for IChatAgent as it does not quit when iChat does.
USe the Red QUit and Confirm Force QUit on iChatAgent.
Now go to USers/(your account)/Library/Preferences and delete
com.apple.ichat.plist
com.apple.ichat.AIM.plist and
com.apple.ichatAgent.plist
Restart iChat.
This will ask you to confirm your details in the Start Up Screens again.
You should now have your Buddy list and access to the places mentioned above.
Now go to iChat > Preferences > Accounts > Security and set the List to Allow All
The to Block Certain people and check the Blocked List and make sure it has the "right" people in it.
Set it back to what you normally have it set at.

IOS 5.1 iChat & Face Time issue on iPad 2

After upgrading to iOS 5.1 the system ask me to sign in for sing Face Time and iChat. I entered several times my apple ID and password but I can't log in and the application takes me back to the log in page with no specific message.
I've check my Apple ID and password and they are correct (I even changed my password). Does anyone know how to solve it?
Thanks in advance,
RESV

UPDATE:
I had 27 Gigs free on the iPad, so it wasn't a memory issue, it was some Apple issue.
I took my iPad to work and tried connecting there through the wi-fi at the office, and it connected and uprgaded fine.
So if you are reading this because your IOS can't download, try;
1) use a Windows/PC machine, as it seems more reliable then macs for this download/upgrade
or
2) try different w-fi locations to have the device upgrade itself through its own Settings > General > Software Update

Every mavericks user, except 13" late rMBP, do you have "kernel usb keyboard" log report issue on your console, check it out please

hi everyone, we are the owners of the late 2013 retina macbook pro, with this keyboard and trackpad issue.
please help us by looking at your console for this log report:
08/11/13 00:49:01,000 kernel[0]: The USB device Apple Internal Keyboard / Trackpad (Port 5 of Hub at 0x14000000) may have caused a wake by issuing a remote wakeup (2)
we are really curious whether it is only happening on our 13" rMBP or is it happening on everyone's mac with mavericks.
especially we would like to know whether this report is also on 2013's mac. MacBook Pro Retina 15" late 2013 Haswell, iMac Haswell, MacBook Air Haswell.
Thanks for your help, really appreciate all your reports!
please help us so that we could try track it down whether the issue is hardware or software related.

Yes, after the EFI update I'm seeing over 4,000 of these error messages.
12/16/13 1:08:32.000 PM kernel[0]: The USB device Apple Internal Keyboard /Trackpad (Port 5 of Hub at 0x14000000) may have caused a wake by issuing a remote wakeup (2)
This happens everytime I touch the keyboard or trackpad. I believe this should not be a normal ocurrence performing such a NORMAL and Essential task as using the imbedded peripherals to operate a machine.
I contacted Apple Support and spoke with a Senior Advisor for troubleshooting. I was instructed to send capture data to apple showing the console errors in their entirety.
From my impressions speaking with Apple today, this is not a normal error and a exchange might be offered, but I'm afraid that will not remedy the issue. This being a chronic and widespread issue with OSX Mavericks and late rMBP Haswell models.

User log in issue with Xcelsius SWF file

HI,
I am using the BI as source to BO. Xcelsius dashboard is using webi data by live office.
I have exported the xcelsius in swf file & ppt format.
i am using the credentials user name, password and authentication as SAP.
I have the roles which are created in BI and imported to BO and the roles have users in BI , which came by default to BO.
Now I have created the new users in BI with initial password. I cant login to infoview or swf until i change the initial password in BI and thn with new password i can log in to BO. I understood this concept.
But confusing part is after changing to new password in BI, i can be able to log in to swf or PPT but not fetching latest data from data base.
if i log on first into infoview , thn i can be able to log onto swf file or PPT correctly and access the latest data.
If i directly access the ppt file , i get 'failed to get the document information. lo 26315". But if i login to infoview first then to swf or ppt i wont get any problem.
The problem is, users are access the dashboard file from ppt and pdf. So , is there any work around that, the new user can directly access the data from swf or ppt, without entering the infoview???

Hi sapbi83 ,
May i Know which connection you are using for fetching data into xcelsius, is it LO(Live Office) or Qaaws
if it is Live Office then what is the refresh property set for live office object? and how many live office objects or how many qaaws connection u are using.?
provide the answe of all the above question, i'll be able to help you and Infoview has nothing to do it with the real time data connectivity. the dashboard is completely dependent on the connections used to get data into the xcelsius, if the error is coming in PPT or PDF standalone then there is some issue with the connection used in xcelsius, just let me know the answer of all the above questions.
