Ichat starts up then logs off

Hi all,
Ive just went wireless a couple of days ago and everything was going great on the install side of things, it took me while but Im managed to complete port forwarding and configure me my osx firewall and hey presto ichat started up. But the next day nothing, ichat will login then log out seconds later. Ive also got a jabber account but this seems unaffected and logs in no problem.
I have had one successful login but my buddy list vanished it was only a mate of mine texting me that made me aware it was up and running.
My router is a Netgear WGT624 v3 with firmware updated, can anyone give me any advice on what might be going wrong, its driving me crazy! I use ichat alot for my freelance work so this has left me feeling a bit stranded.
Ive installed the latest secruity update too could this be the cause?

Now try turning UPnP on and off a couple of times(clicking apply each time) finish with UPnP on.
Also set the Quicktime settings, goto sys prefs/quicktime/streaming/streaming speed set what you get from your ISP go no higher then 1.5mbps(dont use automatic)
In ichats prefs click on video and change bandwidth limit to NONE.
Restart iChat.

I am very happy to report that my server connection tech, which I called via landline, informed me to : 1. Open Tools 2. Scan down to Clear Recent History 3. Delete All. That was it! Unbelievable! Six hours of searching through the Windows catagories. I checked the results on an internet site, and viola! It was gone! Mozilla Firefox seems to remember the usernames and passwords irregardless of the option window that asks if you if want it to remember the user and password. I finally got in touch with my friend and he said he did not answer yes to the window, even though he was aware of it. No damage. I surely do appreciate everyones' concern in this, now what seems to be, a very simple solution. Cudos to Firefox! Thank-you! P.S. I now have to enter my information at the beginning of any password protected sites...no harm done! My friend is now condemned to the 'user account' site! lol...

IChat starts and then quits right away...

The title pretty much says it all....
I start iChat/Tiger up and and I see the iChat window briefly (say, 2 seconds or so) and then the application disappears. It does not give an error message and it's process is most definitely dead when I check Activity Monitor. I should note that the iChat previously worked without any problems.
Interestingly enough, it looks like it does successfully log into AIM, because after trying to start the app 10 or so times, I got an AIM message saying that I've attempted to login too many times in too short a period of time.
Any idea what's going on? The only event I can correlate is the fact that I downloaded the newest Tiger security update this past Monday...I believe that is the only change to my computer since it was last working.
Any help is greatly appreciated!

Ralph,
I have the same exact problem on two brand new macs, a mac mini and an ibook g4. I tried reinstalling ichat, which made it worse; my buddy list would no longer open, instead, the little black arrow appeared under the ichat logo, and then disappeared after a few seconds. I then copied and pasted that command into the Terminal app, and here's what I got:

Hello iphonesouth
Start with the articles below for issues with not being able to log into your user. It will have you look at starting up in Safe Mode, resetting your NVRAM and other troubleshooting options.

Iphone 4s freezing at start up then shuts off and keeps restarting then repeating that process over and over. I have tried to reset the phone two different ways and still this problem occurs after I update it or turn off the phone.

yes the title says most of what is going on.
I recently reset my phone, losing all contacts and pictures. It was working fine, then after I updated it, it will not turn on completely.
It starts up with the apple logo
-goes to the ios 6 (please slide to open) screen
-then shuts off
-and repeats the process unless I shut the phone off manually
I have tried to hold the lock and the home button down to manually reset the phone
I have also tried reseting the phone completely previously, and I still have this problem.
Any ideas?
Thank you!!

I really don't have an answer for that one. I guess that while trying to get things working correctly, I would use the most basic monitor I had which in your case would be the Eizon using the Thunderbolt port and adaptor.
When you boot into Safe Mode the startup is quite slow, but you should get the Apple logo and then the spinning gear below it (release the SHIFT key when it appears.) Then after a little more time you should see a gray progress bar appear below the spinning gear. When that disappears the computer will startup to a login screen.

Shows error message when starting up, then turns off

Hi, my ipod shows the apple when I restart it, then shows the folder with the exclamation point then shuts off. Also, the computer won't recognize it. Since it doesn't show up on the iTunes or the Finder, is there anything I can do?
Thanks.

Since this is over a week old, I assume you've got the problem sorted out.
If not, please ignore the spammer & see if this can help;

When power on and start up my computer start and then power off

Hello
When power on and start up my computer start and then power off

whether you hear Mac Boot sound?
if not may be your Harddisk is failed to start

Ipod will start-up then shut off

Hi - need your help before vacation on a long holiday weekend. As of yesterday, my video ipod was working great. Now, when I turn it on or plug it in, it continually tries to turn on by showing the Apple logo then shuts off and keeps doing this. It will not play nor will recognize that it is plugged into the computer or wall. I am using different cords and also went through the 5 "R"s...would love some insight or tricks to make it work.
Thanks a million!

Hi, is the battery fully charged?
If you have already followed the 5rs without success it could be probably a HD issue... I suggest to go to your local Apple Store and ask for support, they can help you if the iPod is under warranty
Bye

Starts and then turns off!

Ok so my Macbook will start up I see the apple and then it turns off before it loads, I've tried resetting the PRAM the SMC and the ctrlapplepowerbutton and noen of i works, I hold down Option and I can choose to boot from CD or windows but if i click that it shuts down. The only way the computer stays on is in Target Mode. Anyone know what I can do. My warranty is up and i can't afford to have them just look at it just yet.
Thanks

I know my Mac is old, but it works just fine. It's just that even though the battery is full, and all the indicators tell me it is, if the power cord happens to fall off (it's the magnetic one), the whole Mac dies suddenly, doesn't save anything that's open at the time and requires a hard boot to get going again, and only if the cord is plugged. I'm assuming my battery is old anyway, as before this started, it hadn't held the charge for more than an hour. Am I better off replacing the entire machine or replacing the battery and cord and hope that works?

IMac starts boot then cuts off

My iMac was working fine. I got a message that the memory was almost full then it just cut off. Now when I try to turn it on, it goes to the white screen, The booting bar comes up, but as it starts to boot, everything just cuts off.

You may have totally filled your internal HD adn need to move libraries such as you iTunes, iPhoto or iMovie libraries to an external HD. Please attempt to boot into Safe Mode by holding down the Shift key when you hear the startup tone until a progress bar appears. If you can do that then move those libraries to an external HD and then attempt to restart.

Airport Disk starts and then turns off

We see this problem occasionally and I have no idea why. I will get up in the morning and even though the Extreme is on, the USB disk that is attached is now off. I then push the button on the drive (a WD 500GB MyBook) and it starts to spin up and then shuts itself down again after a few seconds. It never mounts or anything anywhere.
Now if I take that same USB disk connected locally through USB, then everything is fine. Usually an Airport Extreme reboot fixes this, but it is annoying in general. Is there anyway to fix this?
Thanks

G5 stuck at start up then turns off

Any help here appreciated. Turn on my G5, chimes, apple appears, stays stuck with spinning boot up icon and then shuts down. Any ideas as to where to start?? Or should I just take it in? Read something about Pram battery, but have no idea as to where to even look for it.

Yeah, I'm getting the same thing with my (old) Dual 2.0 here! Mine started randomly shutting off without warning. So I took it to the Apple store and they replaced the the power unit, which took they did at no cost! I got it back and now there's no start-up chime, just the logo and spinning gear for a few seconds then it turns off. After multiple calls to apple I was convinced that I was insane. I haven't heard a good explanation as to why this is other than "It's an old machine"!
I have a really old Mac G4 400 that has been on, in my garage for at least 4 years now and has never had any problems, even in the intense Texas heat, so it seems that "Planned Obsolescence" and greed are the culprit here. I guess it's time to pony up and buy a new one for double the price. Who says capitalism doesn't work!
I am an artist that has been using macs for 25 years and apple has clearly been blinded by the profit of pop culture. Which is fine if that is where they want to take the company, as a stockholder I don't have a problem with that. However when quality begins to suffer we're all screwed!

My Mac only shows Apple logo at start and then suddenly off

Dear all,
I am freaking out right now. I tried to turn on my iMac. It firstly showed the Apple logo on grey screen. Loading logo appeared below and then suddenly my iMac was off. Any idea what happened?
Wahyu

No, but it sounds like a hardware issue or perhaps a bad hard drive.
If you boot in verbose mode (hold down command-V at boot) do you see some words that indicate where in the process it's failing?

How to log off from SNC portal

This is a very basic question. I did not find any button or menu option to log off. Sometimes I get the message that the transaction is still running in another session, and I find it very difficult to log off. I normally close the browser and then log off from the SCM system. But if I am not logged onto SAP and I open the portal directly, How do I log off?
Your help is appreciated.
Thanks
Soumen

Hi Soumen,
There is no logoff button in SNC Web portal.
You can close the SNC web protal to logoff.
About your issue when you logoff it will locks your query as it is not logoff straight a way solution is create another query so that you can use another query or go to transaction SM04 and logoff your user-

Nikhil
