Ichat logging on and off quickly over and over
I got a new wireless router and moedem yesterday and now whenever I try to log on to iChat now, it tweaks out and logs on and off super fast and the only way to stop it is to quit the application or AOL stops it because I've "made too many logon attempts in a short period of time". It doesn't do that on any other connections....Why does it do it on this one?
If changing the port has not worked then you need to move on to this FAQ http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1462798

IChat logging on and off uncontrollably after installing EyeTV
I just installed EyeTV on my computer, and afterwards my iChat suddenly went crazy. Started logging off and on until it told me that I have "attempted to login too often in a short period of time. Wait a few minutes before trying again." But it still doesn't work.
Hi
Try logging on to AIM on port 443 rather than port 5190.
Go to IChat in the menu bar > Preferences > Accounts.
Log out of AIM and then use the Server Settings tab
Set the port to 443.
Log back in again. -
When I open iChat it signs in to AIM then disconnects and reconnects several times before a message comes up saying that I have tried to log in too much and I have to wait a while before reconnecting. After waiting and trying to open iChat again, it does the exact same thing. Suggestions?

The location of Hysham in Apple Maps is off by over 50 miles and has been ever since the advent of the app. I have gone through the motions many times to place the pin the correct location. Unfortunately, no one at Apple seems to care if Hysham, Montana is plotted in the correct location or not. The location displayed in Apple Maps is quite literally in the middle of nowhere. If someone were to rely on Apple Maps to get to Hysham may very well end up marooned in the midst of muddy two track road in the summer or stuck in a snowdrift in the winter with little or no hope of expedient assistance. Other than the reporting feature in Maps, there appears to be no other means to report mistakes and there appears to be no expedient means at Apple to filter through reports and fix the errors. In sum, What do I have to do to get the location of Hysham fixed in Apple Maps? Much thanks!
You have done all that you can. Apple maps depends on 3rd party map data solutions. As problems are reported, they are reported to the data providers. How and when they decide to make changes is up to them.
You can also let Apple know you are disappointed in this via feedback at www.apple.com/feedback and click on the appropriate link. -
I was watching something on my iPad then it suddenly turned off I put it in charge and it turned back on then showed the home screen then turns back off quickly so I can't restore it
Hi there iPad 3rd Generation,
You may find the troubleshooting steps in the article below helpful.

I am not able to turn off voice over. I have tried to do settings -> General -> Accessibility -> VoiceOver and then triple clicked it but the VoiceOver won't turn off. What can I do? I have even tried to reset the machine keeping the data, no use.
A few people have reported problems with the hand gestures since IOS 8. It's not normal, I have don't have the problem on my iPad 4. I doubt it's a major problem but if it happens regularly I'd have it checked out by the Genius bar at the Apple Store.

Have not been able to use keynote if it's linked to icloud. It just starts and turns off quickly. No problem if I toggle off using icloud. Any ideas.
Have you updated to the latest level of Keynote on your iPad? Keynote 2.0.1 (1075) - Check Settings > Keynote
If so, there isn't much that you can do other than report this bug to Apple http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html
You could try restarting or resetting your iPad.
Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after the iPad shuts down, then press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds). -
IChat agent quitting and logging me out of everything
This has been happening sporadically, but when I use iChat to log into my AIM and gChat accounts, I am sometimes logged out because of iChat agent dying and disconnecting. I am forced to log in again, and there are no problems again until it decides to disconnect again. It's not a huge problem that makes it inoperable, but if I'm having an important conversation and I'm suddenly logged out, it can get a bit more than annoying. I tried deleting the preferences for iChat Agent already, and it still does this. Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks!
Hi,
In Console (Applications/Utilities) are there any messages about it Quitting ?
If you use the Icon to reveal the Logs and the triangles to reveal more in ~/Library/Logs is there a Crash Reporter Log that lists iChatAgent ?
If the .plist did not sort it it maybe that iChatAgent needs to be Reinstalled.
As this is posted in 10.5.x you could try the COMBO Download first (You will need it anyway so don't through it away)
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/macosx_updates/macosx1058comboupdate .html
"Doing the COMBO" often sorts issues like this.
If not do the so called Hard Way here http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1486891&tstart=0
You swill see at the bottom it says about doing the Combo on the Reinstall (whether just the app or the support folders as well)

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.

I am able to make it to the site for about 2 seconds and then I am quickly logged off and the statement, "There is a problem with your authentication, possibly due to inactivity. For your safety, you have been logged out and must sign in again to continue."
I don't have a clue as to the problem but since this is impacting my participation in these classes and ultimately could have a negative impact on my grade, I am more than a little concerned!Have you allowed this site to set cookies?

IChat, Parental Control and Bonjour
Rather than using AIM (and it's slowness), I was hoping to be able to use Bonjour on our internal network (which is firewalled and, obviously, not a threat) to chat/audio conference with our youngest.
I used the parental control to limit his AIM partners to the family but still wanted to allow him to talk on our network in the house. Unfortunately, when I go into iChat via his account the "using Bonjour instant messaging" is grayed out.
I tried turning it on in iChat on his account, going to my admin account and THEN enabling parental control, and trying again but no dice.
Any ideas?
Sure would be nice for home networks to have the option to iChat with everyone at Bonjour vs. AIM speeds (doubly so if you are on dialup!).hi James,
Well I read this and thought "he can't be right" ?
So I went to test
Enabled Parental Controls and for iChat and Added one AIM/@mac buddy.
Looked for ability to add Bonjur or Jabber accounts but found nothing
Went to log in to that account.
Check to see if Bonjour window was available. Nope.
Checked iChat Preferences >Accounts and could not select Bonjour.
Took off Parental Controls - Appears in iChat, Bonjour and Jabber windows.
Selecting and deselecting Parental Control Logs iChat in and out of AIM.
I must admit to thinking this is a big Opps by Apple

Monitoring Agents logged in, and out dialing notification to duty manager
I've been asked to come up with a way to monitor a few critical skill groups for agents logged in and if there are none dial out to predetermined outside numbers that reach duty managers. When the call is answered a message should be played indicating there are no agents logged into their skill group.
I figure I can write and Administrative script to keep track of the skill groups, which would then set a variable and kick off a routing script. However I'm stumped on how to play a message to them. Is this something the outbound dialer could be configured to do? Note this is strictly a proactive notification to the managers and I'm not planning to route the calls anywhere.
Any ideas on how I might be able to do this?
Best,
RobHi Rob
It might be tricky - I would probably try the following:
- In your inbound script, check using the 'get reporting statistic' step for the number of agents in the CSQs (not the skill groups, as it's CSQ specific)
- From that script, you could do a 'send email' to notify a supervisor.
- Alternatively, you could use a 'send http request' to trigger another script, which would use a 'place call' and 'play prompt' routine to play out the notification. I would use a http request to trigger a seperate script, as if you do it from within the first script, the caller will be kept waiting while the system dials the supervisor and plays a prompt - the scripts cannot multitask.
- The other problem you might have would be that multiple notifications may be generated. You might be able to work around that by setting a variable in a session to indicate the threshold being triggered, and another when it has been notified. When the condition is cleared you could clear both variables to allow a new trigger event.
An easier option than scripting might be to use the 'Supervisor Workflow' feature. This isn't exactly what they have asked for, but allows a popup or audio alert to be triggered based on calls being in queue over x seconds, or length of a queue being x or greater. It's configured from within the Supervisor app.

How do I reinstall iChat, how do PC users video iChat with me, and should I just use skype?
1. I deleted iChat awhile ago by mistake. I searched ichat in Macintosh HD, and the only result was iChat the application file, but its icon is a faded out IWeb icon. When I click on it, it just bounces on my dock, until it disappears and an error message pops up stating it quit unexpectedly. I tried dragging the result to my desktop then redragging it into my Applications folder, but the same thing still happens (faded out iWeb icon instead of iChat icon, bounces, quits, error message). I also tried installing the iChat AV (forgot which version) and iChat Update 1.0 Universal, both of which said I had to have 10.4. I have 10.5.8. Also, if this makes any difference, the current faded out iChat in my Applications folder says its version 4.0.9. I do not have my reinstall CD, and do not want to call support and have them send me one. Considering I bought my macbook in late 2008, and my warranty is up, I'm pretty sure they wouldn't help me anyways. I also do not know of anyone who has a mac so the sharing option can be crossed offed. Is there a downloadable version of iChat for 10.5. users?
2. If I somehow managed to reinstall a working iChat, how would PC users connect to me and vide chat?
3. Should I just use skype? Would i have to download anything? Is skype video chat free? What are the differences between iChat and skype, and which one is better?
Thank you for your time!Hi,
Reinstall Instructions
Be SURE to Download (Manually) and Install the COMBO version of the last Update to the OS you did as iChat will need to be Updated (Software Update will think it is already done and you need to Fool it)
Re 2).
In theory it is just a question oif you using a valid AIM name in iChat
This could be one registered with AIM or one from @mac.com or MobileMe if paid for or a current trial.
In Practice it can need a bit of tweaking at both ends
They Need to allow the AIM App through the Windows firewall as an Exception (AS with any Non Microsoft app)
They may also need to turn off the "Real Time" option that does not work to iChat and effects A/V chats as well. (It is Sending as you type). It will be in one of the Menus of their Budy List.
Post back for more if you get stuck.
Re 3)
Skype does offer free Video Chat and some people resort to it when iChat to AIM does not work.
It is free (At present - and you only pay for the Connection to and from real phones)
Skype was bought by Microsoft within the last week and things may change at some point in the future.
iChat has better Video
Audio depends on the capabilities of your Mac and their PC but is probably about equal.
Connection methods differ and iChat's Video and Audio Chats are technically more secure (you can in fact log out of the Buddy List as they adre Peer-to-Peer where as Skype uses a little bit of everyone's bandwidth (Between 40 and 100 other End Users)
Other options are here
Video options are from 8 onwards
Mebeam is now called Koowy. (Video Chatting in a Web Browser using Flash)
NOTES;
Google Do a Plug-in for Intels to allow you to use their Web Mail Page Chat Option
It can Conflict with Flash if you use more than one option.

Am using Safari 6.0.5, suddenly my Yahoo mail account won't keep me logged in and the 'keep me logged in' button has disappeared. It is still there on Chrome so am assuming it is a Safari issue. It just happened suddenly. Have reset Safari, cache and also changed my Yahoo password but problem is still there.
I still don't understand what the problem that you are experiencing is. If you get to a page where yahoo is asking JUST for your password, and there is no box for username (it may have your username displayed, but not in a enter box), then you ARE "being kept signed in" You can verify this by instead of entering your password, go to www.yahoo.com home page, and it will say something like "Hi, Amber" This means you ARE signed in.
When you get that page asking for just your password, you are NOT being asked to sign in again. You are simply being asked to verify/enter your assword an Nth time. If you get that page right after entering your username and password, try clicking the "back" (previous page) button. It might just go to your inbox.
If this is the case, your problem has nothing to do with being kept signed in or not, the problem is that for some (unknown to me) reason, yahoo is asking you to re-enter your password, kind of like when your mac asks for your mac password when changing system settings. Yahoo does this as a safety feature when you go to account settings, and apparently abritary other times. I wish I understood just why I get it every time after signing in.
It could be because I have java turned off. It could be because I don't accept third party cookies. Maybe a cache file. Or a hundred other things... I don't know. It could simply be yahoo is scrooing safari users. I have glanced at the html, but to really understand it, it would take me days. There are over 25 places where username and password are in the html "source" code of the yahoo login page, and even understanding that may not tell me. In the past, I have seen code essentiall saying "if IE x.3.2" do this, if chrome do that, if mozilla do something else, otherwise make it next to impossible...."
My problem is not only I get asked for my assword a second time, but also (and only very recently) I do not get a prompt to save username and pasword. I have gone to yahoo help pages to try to figure it out, and I feel like I just run in circles. If one wants to send a question in, they have to answer half a dozen questions disclosing private information. And I pay yahoo $20/year. grrr
If when you are trying to access your yahoo mail and you are being asked to enter both your username and password, but didn't sign out of yahoo, then indeed your are not being "kept signed in" -
Handset losing call logs, texts and emails
Hi,
I have an ongoing problem with my BB and am not getting much sense from my network provider (BT Business).
Here's a bit off history:
I started the contract in November 2011 with a Torch 9860. I had numerous problems with the phone freezing and randomly losing data such as texts, call logs and emails. In 9 months I've had 5 phones and 1 sim card change, 2 weeks ago BT changed the handset to a Torch 9810.
The phone has worked fine till Friday when it started doing funny things like randomly receiving texts which were from old conversations. On saturday afternoon it lost all data by way of texts, call logs and emails that were over 24 hours old and in the last hour has lost everything over 6 hours old.
I have all calls, texts and emails going into the messages list and have that set to save everything for ever so I can chose when to delete information.
As I;m a consultant I need my call logs, texts and emails to work out my billing so this really is a pain.
I really do think this is a network issue rather than the handset.
Can anyone offer any ideas/solutions before I phone BT in the morning?
Many thanks xThat is a very tiny database size. Go into your camera options and see where your pictures are being saved.
Something is not right. There is no reason your free memory should be so low with such small database sizes and very few apps installed. You should be pushing 200+ MB of free memory.
