IChat stops working from the start. Help me!!

After using mac for about 1 month, my iChat starts this problem. Every time  I open iChat and try to change the status, the app stops working and not responding at all. How to solve this problem???

HI,
OK, it sounds like the app at least Launches.
Can you access the Preferences ?
In iChat > Preferences > Accounts can you enable as many accounts as there are there including the Bonjour one ?
You should have at least two Buddy list show up.
From what you say at least one such as an AIM (Or Jabber) login is reading "Disconnected" and not doing anything when you click to change this.
Does the Bonjour one display fully, even if you have no Bonjour Buddies On line on your LAN  (It is for connecting to other Macs that have iChat/Messages with the Bonjour account active.)
If there are no such Buddies it will display as an empty Buddy list but should connect and say Available.
In System Preferences > Security and Privacy > Firewall tab, is the Firewall ON ?
If it is On go to the Options Button and check the "Allow Signed Software" item is ticked and that iChat and IMAgent is in the Allowed List.  (I am working in Mountain Lion and yours may only have an Advanced Button.  Go there and see if you have).
Do not have Stealth enabled as iChat sends Pings in Video and Audio Only connections.
Basically if other apps like Web Browsers can get on the internet we have to look as to why iChat is not doing this.
Enabling the Bonjour account will tell us if it is a local issue or and Internet one.
If it looks like it is between the internet and the app then the Firewall is the first port of Call.

  • Where should I change the adapter? It doesn't work from the start.

    where should I change the adapter? It doesn't work from the start. But there is no apple store in our city.

    The phone does not charge when linking with adaptor. But it is OK when linking PC using USB instead. I do not know why, but I am just sure there is something wrong with the adaptor.

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    Unfortunately, you cannot do very much with your phone unless you get assistance from the previous owner, they should either provide you with the password to unlock it or remove their account from the phone entirely remotely through iCloud.com > Find My Phone.

  • Camera connector- works from the start?

    I am thinking of upgrading to a new 30gb video ipod while on holiday in the states (assuming a US Ipod will be compatible with PC, power etc??). Partly this is because I can justify the cost by using the camera connector and saving on compact flash cards.
    As I wont have access to a computer while there I need to be able to use the Ipod and camera connector off the shelf as I wont be able to download any updates to it. Does anyone know if this will work?
    Thanks

    You need to help us first ...
    Computer specs:
    OS, CPU, RAM, GPU, vRAM ... and also disc layout & connections can be useful (as in, "2 internal hard-drives and an external on Thunderbolt connection for exports")
    Program specs:
    Specific build of Premier Pro from the bottom of the "About" splash screen off the "Help" menu is best.
    Footage file type: MXF, AVCHD, MOV, m2s, what?
    Even the camera it was shot on can be of interest at times.
    And did you use media browser to import, then project panel to drag & drop?

    Every time I TRY to start firefox 18-19 I get an error message : "Firefox has stopped working" - "close the program and check online for a solution" - or - "close the program" this happens TWICE every time I try to start firefox. Eventually after a random number of tries firefox will start normaly. I am useing firefox 19.0.2 now bit I belive it started when I upgraded to firefox 18 but am not sure, it might have been when I upgraded to firefox 19 ... but it has been happening for a very long time and I cannot find any helpfule solutions online.

    Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
    '''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
    #Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
    #After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
    #Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
    #*'''Windows:'''
    #**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
    #**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
    #*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
    #*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
    #Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
    ##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
    ##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
    Please report back to see if this helped you!

  • My iphone home button stopped working and the phone started getting hot. The camera also fogged up. What do I do?

    My iphone home button stopped working and the phone started getting hot. The camera also fogged up. What do I do?

    I'm guessing it's a hardware problem. Your best option is to go to an Apple Store as soon as you can to try and sort this all out. While you're waiting to go visit an Apple Store, however, I'd imagine you still want to use your phone. To circumvent your hardware button problems, try enabling Assistive Touch by going to Settings>General>Accesibility>Assistive Touch. You'll see a small box appear on your screen. Tapping it will bring up several options for you to choose from, like the home button. Clicking the "Device" option will give you several options for controlling your phone that you would normally use hardware buttons for (i.e. volume, lock your phone, etc.) Hope this helps and good luck!

    Hello,
    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
    * You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
    ''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
    ''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
    Thank you.

  • When I try to open iTunes,it tries to start but than I get a message stating-iTunes has stopped working , close the program. Does anyone have a problem like this? I'm using windows 7 compatibility turned off.

    I'm using a Dell PC with windows 7. Apple Store cannot open completely. An error message states- iTunes has stopped working, close the program.
    I have spoken to at least 3 Techs with no solutions found for this problem. Compatibility mode turned off. Newest Download from Apple site.

    See HT203206: iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8: Fix unexpected quits or launch issues.
    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
    The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.

  • Unwanted sounds when logic plays from the start of the track!!! help!!

    i would really appreciate if anybody helps me here!
    i have logic rewired with reason. i have numerous tracks and instruments on both
    all my drums are in reason and when i play the tracks back in logic i get an unwanted kick and a crash at the point i start the song, this happens anywhere between the count in and the first audio in logic.
    whe i play it back from the start in reason i dont get these sounds, only when i play it from logic!
    there is definately no loose midi data in reason(as there is no place for it ) and i have had draw a long count out in logic just so the track starts after these sounds have faded away?
    any advise???

    Correction:
    This has happened to me lots too, to sessions where I am using a lot of virtual instruments. I don't think you issue has anything to do with ReWire.
    I think it has to do with stopping a song before it ends, returning to the start and playing song again. It has to do with lookahead and ram etc ....
    The way to avoid this is to back your song start up, or nudge your tracks forward a bit. One bar or less seems to do the trick for me.
    Hope that helps.
    Cheers

  • HT203175 While trying to use my iTunes library it will suddenly stop working with the erro message Runtime error R6025 pure virtual function call.  HELP!!!

    While trying to use my iTunes library it will suddenly stop working with the error message Runtime error R6025 pure virtual function call.
    Help???

    Just responded to this in another thread (note we used Captivate 7 so it might be a different error).
    We found that when we created files with embedded swf files that existed ABOVE widgets in the timeline, when someone else tried to open our file it broke/we got the runtime error. The original person could still open it for a time, but eventually the cache would clear and they couldn't.
    However, if we ensured swf files are BELOW widgets in the source files, it didn't break. In fact, if we found one that was breaking and got the author to move the swf file on the timeline, it would start working for others.
    STRANGE! Let me know if this works for you to!

    Hello Kishore,
    you could check the sizing of the liveCache data.
    * Report  /SAPAPO/TS_LCM_REORG_SNP has checks  of the SNP planning areas for superfluous objects.
    * Delete old/temporary APO data.
    * /SAPAPO/TS_LCM_REORG report checked TS superfluous objects.
    If you didn't create the planning versions, copy of planning versions & data load to liveCache, then create the SAP message to check your system on the question of the dataarea usage.
    If you have the long running APO transactions => performance of the SCM system has to be checked.
    If you have the bottleneck in liveCache & could not solve the case by yourself => create the SAP message to BC-DB-LVC and get SAP support.
    Best regards, Natalia Khlopina

  • Hello. I am having trouble using Mobileme with microsoft oulook 2010. .The error Mobileme has stopped working . Can anybody help. ??Thanks

    Hello
    I am having trouble using Microsoft Outlook 2010. When starting Microsoft Outlook displays the error message Mobileme has stopped working. Can anybody help.
    Thanks

    Well yes, of course you are having trouble using MobileMe because MobileMe no longer exists and has not existed for the last 2 years at least.
    MobileMe has been replaced by iCloud, so you will never be able to use MobileMe because it does not exist.
    Also, I would suggest that you look more closely before you post, because you have posted this in an iPhone forum and this question has nothing to do with iPhones.  You would get more help if you posted in the correct forum.

    Hello Philly,
    I believe that when you reset your ipod(command given from the computer, right?)  touch WHILE the ipod was updating, It cleared the system in the middle of writing files, thus corrupting(equivalent of cutting of in the middle of a sentence) the basic running system.
    I suggest you go to an apple store and ask for a technical diagonosis in person. they may offer to help if the problem is fixable. If your ipod is still under warrenty, i would guess it would be free/low cost.
    ~Remember, I am just giving an educated guess on limited information
