IChat signs off when I log on

Hi All,
When I sign onto iChat, it will pop up fine, but within 10 seconds it will sign me off. Any ideas on how to get it to quit? I am running 3.0.1 and Tiger and I have iProfile installed.
Best Regards,
Michael

HI Michael,
iProfile is not needed in iChat 3 as it has it's own profile part.
I would start by delelting this Add-on.

IChat signs off when I am away

Hello, this is minor problem with iChat, and really doesn't affect the overall performance of the program, but it is kind of annoying considering I can't stay online when I am away from the computer.
Here is the senario:
I put my away message on and then get up and leave the computer. The screensaver then comes on followed by 'sleep' mode. When the computer goes into 'sleep' mode, iChat signs off. It only does this when I physically leave the computer. If I am sitting at my computer with the away message on, then I have no problem staying online.
Sometimes it does this and oddly at other times it stays online without any problems. It is a problem that bugs me, but isn't too big of a deal. If the problem persists I'm considering downloading a version of AOL Instant Messanger for Mac. Does anyone have any suggestions or comments?
Thank you, I appreciate your responses.

After upgrading to Mac OS X 10.4.8, some Intel-based computers may not auto-connect to remembered networks that use WPA2 or WEP security. This article explains how to correct this behavior.
Products affected
Macs with Intel Core Duo-based processors:
MacBook
MacBook Pro (all models)
Mac mini (Early 2006)
iMac (Early 2006)
Mac OS X 10.4.8
Solution
To restore the auto-connect feature:
From the Apple menu, choose System Preferences.
Select the Network pane.
From the "Show:" drop-down menu, choose "AirPort".
Make sure the "By default, join:" pop-up menu is set to "Preferred networks." (If it was set to "Automatic networks", you can set it back to Automatic after the next step.)
Select any network that shows WPA2 security and use the minus button to remove those networks from the list.
Once all WPA2 networks have been removed from the list, use the plus button to add them back. (You will need the appropriate passwords for the wireless network.) If it's more convenient, you can wait to re-add the networks until you use them—when you use a network, it will be added to the list automatically.
If in step 3, your default was Automatic rather than Preferred, go ahead and change your default back to Automatic.

IChat signs off when screen saver comes on

If I ever leave my computer for the 10 minutes or so that it takes for the screen saver to come on, I'm kicked offline. When I get back to the regular screen it automatically signs me back on, but I want to stay online the entire time, not sign off and sign back on. Even if I change my screen saver settings to a longer period of time before it comes on, my computer still goes into some energy saving mode after only a few minutes, kicking me offline.
Is there a way to prevent this?

My Screen saver on my XP (BootCamp) nor my MacBook Pro in OS 10.5.1 do not do this.
I see nothing in Screen Savers or Energy Saver that would cause this.
It is almost like your computer is thinking it is Asleep whilst still displaying the Screen Saver. (Macs always cut Network connections on Sleep)

IChat signs off/on sporadically, one SN doesn't sign on

Hello,
For the past several months, whenever I open my iChat it seems to affect my airport connections; iChat will sign off and on at least five times in a minute, and at the same time my connection to other internet applications is lost. I know this isn't a problem with my wireless because it has occurred every where I have taken my MacBook, and it seems that whenever I do not open iChat at all after starting my macbook, I don't lose connection at all.
In preferences, I do not have the "Connect using proxy" option checked, but the server and port bars above that are filled (port: 443, server: login.oscar.aol.com).
How do I solve this continuous signing off/on, internet disruption problem...?
ALSO, iChat won't allow me to sign on to one of my screen names, but it will let me sign on to others. The message I get when I try to sign on to this particular screen name is this: "LOST CONNECTION WITH AIM: The connection to the host was unexpectedly lost." I can sign on to this screen name on AIM on my other PC just fine....
Any offered solutions/suggestions to these two problems would be appreciated very much!

Why do I have no entry sign apper when I log in

When I turn my iMac on the log in screen appears, when I select my (or any for that matter) user accounts, I am prompted for password, which is accepted and the system goes through the start up process, rather than starting the apple logo in the middle of the screen turns to a 'No Entry' sign - how do I over come this and what is likely to have caused it?

How do I tell if it is full?
If some basics are there and functioning, you may boot into Safe Mode (see point #1 in the linked doc), or into the Recovery System, from where you could launch the Disk Utility to look at and work on your HDD.
Uhm, just in case: You do have a backup, yes?

IChat Signs off of AIM all the time.

I am constantly getting kicked off of AIM through iChat. I have tried downloading AIM for mac through their site and with there software I still get kicked off constantly. My roommate has the same MacBook as I do and he never gets kicked off AIM through either application. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the software, I still get disconnected. Anyone know why this is happening and how to fix it?
thank you,
Vito

Hi,
Ok Software Updates are only the bits that are different between the last update and the one you are doing (referred to as Deltas).
Now if you have to do a Reinstall back to your Install Disks then You get offered a Combo install to take you straight to the latest level.
You can also get them without using Software Update from the Apple Downloads page.
Reinstalling iChat from the Install Disks takes you back to the level that Install disk was. Possibly are far back as 10.4.0 at the start of Tiger.
All but tow of the iChat updates have been in the OS updates so your iChat could be out of step so to speak.
See list here http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/macosx_updates/
Get the Combo for your type of Mac.
In the Case of an Intel that is the Combo 10.4.10v1 which includes the Audio correction.

Ichat - turning off when other person has a temporary phone

My daughter had a 4S, however, it literally just died yesterday so she has the 6 on order. However, she is using a flip phone temporarily until the new phoen comes in. We always texted using Ichat, but now she can't see my texts. I can send her messages via Facebook, but that's not very efficient when she lives 600 miles away from me. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Why the sign-off page Not Displayed when I do SSO Logout ?

Hi All,
I am using Oracle SSO 10.1.4.1 and OID 10.1.4.1 and registering our ADF application to participate in the SSO.
When I call SSO Logout from the web application with this URL :
http://myserver:port/pls/orasso/orasso.wwsso_app_admin.ls_logout?p_done_url=http://myserver:port/portal/page/portal/myPORTAL
It just do the Logout "Silently" and then redirect to http://myserver:port/portal/page/portal/myPORTAL.
Doesn't it should firstly display a page that shows the list of all application that will be logged-Off ?
Why that sign-off page does not get displayed ?
Thank you for your help,
xtanto

Looking at the product version you mentioned, I assume you are referring to Oracle Access Manager. When you configure a Logout URL, it will just end the session by killing ObSSOCookie and take you to the Logout URL as specified by the Administrator. OOTB, it wont be able to display the list of the applications you will be logged off from. This needs custom development to achieve what you are expecting. First you need to find out what all applications the user is logged in or to what all applications the ObSSOCookie session is passed and then display them on the Logout URL.

Hi, I cant login to the facebook app on my iphone 5 ios 6.0.2. I keep getting an error message saying 'There was an error logging in using single sign on' when im asked to log in again i get a 'session expired' message. This only started happening yeste

Hi, I cant login to the facebook app on my iphone 5 ios 6.0.2. I keep getting an error message saying 'There was an error logging in using single sign on' when im asked to log in again i get a 'session expired' message. This only started happening yesterday. Anyone else having this problem? Thanks.

I am having the same problem and took the following steps to mitigate it to no avail.
1. I deleted the Facebook app on the phone and turned off Facebook in the iPhone's system-wide settings.
2. I re-enabled Facebook in the iPhone's system-wide settings and reinstalled the Facebook app and logged in again. It worked. For about an hour.
3. I completely restored the phone to a previous backup (before the problems started) and reenabled Facebook .... reinstalled the app.... and now it works intermittenly. But it hasn't worked in about 12 hours now (just tried a few minutes ago).
Please advise.

Using 3.6.12, when I enter a bid on eBay, FF immediately signs off eBay. Never had that problem with earlier versions. I do not have this problem with Internet Explorer.

Using FF 3.6.12, I can log onto eBay, view my account, rate a purchase or win, and search for items. In other words, pretty much do anything normally on eBay.
But if I try to enter a bid on an item, the program exits eBay.com and I get the "You've Signed Off. See You Again Soon!" screen. This happens every time I try to enter or re-enter a bid.
I've been using Firefox for a few years to bid on eBay without any problems. This started as soon as I upgraded to 3.6.12 a month or so ago. Any suggestions?
I've been forced to use Internet Explorer just to get on eBay and bid now. Not nearly as fast and elegant as Firefox. Help!

To re-install Lightroom 5.4, there's no need to go back to the original full version and systematically re-install every upgrade you've ever purchased in order to re-install the latest version. All you need to do is re-install your most recent version (in this case 5.4), enter your Lightroom 5 serial number then enter your Lightroom 4 serial number when prompted. That's it.
How did you first license the Lightroom 5 upgrade on your computer? Since it's not a subscription version, you must have received a version 5 serial number somewhere in the purchasing process. Without a record of that, Adobe Customer Care may struggle with your case.
If you're running Windows, you can try running the free Belarc Advisor which often successfully retrieves your full serial number from inside your computer.

Why can't I see any of my ichat buddies when I log on?

When I log onto ichat, I cant see any of my buddies or add anyone to my list. My buddy list is just blank, and sometimes theres one name on there and when I add a buddy that name starts flashing but then nothing happens. However, I can hear the buddies when they log on or off. I tried quitting, restarting, changing ports, but nothing works. I think this happened after I created a new account and copied and pasted my whole buddy list into the "Add Buddy" option. Does anyone know how to fix my problem?
Edit: I found all my buddy names in my address book in one card. I remember saving my buddies into my address book and trying to transfer them to my other account through the address book. Now my ichat list is blank, but all my buddies are saved in one card in my address book. Also, that one buddy that appears on my ichat, when I put the cursor over the name, all my buddies appear in the info bubble. I don't know if this helps....

Hi,
You will need to sort out that Address Book Issue.
If you know "where" or who the Screen Names belong to I would delete the Names from the Card.
The Screen Names are always held on the server no matter whether you login to AIM or to a Jabber server.
Then you can work though and add the right Screen Name to the right Address Card.
Part of this also sounds like you have tried Parental Controls on your Mac User Account (Or used your current iChat details in a Test Mac User Account)

I cannot sign off so my housemate can log in.

There is no sign off that I can find. When I do anything--go to Google, enter www.gmail.com--I immediate return to my account.
It would be nice to be able to log off when I want to, log on when I want to. I spent time looking through your postings and found others who share my disappointment in this feature, but no answer. Your Firefox help is little use in this matter.
You had a winner before, why the change? Change which improves is good, change which is driven by necessity is good, change for the sake of change is a waste.
Please advise.

You should be able to log off from your Google account.
What you may have done is asked Firefox to remember your loggon and then log you on each time. Alternatively maybe you are just closing the Google account page without logging off.
I suspect changes may relate more to what you are, or are not, doing; rather than to Firefox changes.
You should be able to get Firefox to behave the way you like, have a look at:

How can I reset my iPad YouTube password? I can't sign into youtube on iPad. It says Username or password is wrong although both are correct when I log into YouTube account via Google.

how can I reset my iPad YouTube password? I can't sign into youtube on iPad. It says Username or password is wrong although both are correct when I log into YouTube account via Google. I also tried my husbands youtube login and password and the same outcome. Now I cant log into YouTube via the iPad account. I can log into Youtube via Google however my subscriptions and favorites are all gone. Can I reset the YouTube account located on the iPad? I cant seem to reset the password or delete the app and re-add. I dont want to reset the iPad since I have alot of videos and pictures on it.

Do you have Google 2 stage authentication turned on?
If so, you wont't be able to use your normal google password, but will have to instead generate an "application specific" password for the iPad YouTube app in the google security settings section.

Ichat times out when trying to sign in

I am in Europe for the year and haven't been able to get my ichat to sign on in my new apartment. I am not good with computers and do not know where to begin with trouble shooting this problem. I have done a lot of reading on sign in problems, but I don't know enough about my internet/computer configuration to make changes. iChat does work when I try to sign on at a different location (university), so I don't think the problem is with the program itself.
This is what I know:
I am using built-in Ethernet TCP/IP that I have configured manually. Other than iChat (or my apple mail which also times out before succesfully signing in), my internet works without problems. Following iChat help, I tried to ports on my firewall, but the firewall wasn't activated.
Any help you can give me is most appreciated. This is really driving me crazy.
Thanks!

Hi!
Thank you so much for your help! Changing the port on iChat did the trick. Perhaps that is the problem that is happening with my mail as well. You don't happen to have another suggestion about which port I should use to correct that problem, do you? Thanks again for the help, it is much appreciated!
Best!

My daughter is missing and has her iPhone 4S with her. When I log into iCloud it says online, location services off. Does that mean there is no way for me to track the phone?

My daughter has been missing for a week and has a serious medical condition. She has an iPhone 4S and when I log into find my iPhone it says online , location services off. Does that mean there is no way to track the phone? Please I'm willing to try anything to get my baby home. Thanks.

Without location services, there's no way the device can be tracked. It's location services that provide the device's location to any apps that need that info, including the Find My iPhone service. Sorry.
