IChat will not allow me log-in after OSX upgrade?

I recently updated my software to OSX 10.4.11 to 'fix security issues'
When I try to log in to iChat it says my password is wrong. I am able to log in on the same network using my lap top using my password i know to be correct.
Resetting the password on the Apple site does not fix the issue.
I have tried quitting iChat and going in to: User>Library> Preferences and deleting the files with .ichat in the name. I then emptied trash and restarted iChat but had the same problem.
What am I doing wrong?
Please offer any advice in full. Thanks

Are you a .mac or .me account.

  • Snow Leopard machine will not allow anyone log in until reboot

    Hi,
    I am having trouble with my Snow Leopard machines (Mac Pro with 10.6.8). Most of time Macs will work fine but then all of sudden they will not allow any users to login (Not even local users). I have tried 3 locals accounts and root account as well but none of them will work. I have tried ARD to remote in but it will not work. Also tried to use SSH but it won't let me connect.
    The only work around this issue which I have just to reboot that machine then all users can login.
    Does anyone know how to fix this issue?
    Thanks,

    Hi,
    When I see the machine sitting at login screen and I try to login using few different accounts (Local, AD, even root), it would shake and not go anywhere.
    It will be really hard tell that something is goin on with that machine because there is no visible signs of any trouble until you try to login.
    I am assuming that it should let login using local accounts even though there might be an issue with network which would cause a problem if AD accounts are used but nothing works at that login prompt, until I restart that machine.
    Once the machine is re-booted then I can login with all the local accounts and re-check the active diretory settings to make sure that AD accounts can login. At this point problem will disappear for a while then few days later it will show up again randomly on different machines.
    I have done all the OS X updates on all the machines using ARD but nothing seems to be working yet.
    At this stage, couple of things come to mind:
    Something went wrong with that lab image and I need to rebuild it which I will do it at later time. For right now I am only looking for temporary fix.
    Using ARD, I have only done OS X updates but not the firmware update which might be causing this issue.
    @Sanjampet: - I don't think that there is an issue with my password becasue it seems to be working after I have restarted that machine.
    Thanks,

  • MacbookPro will not wake up from sleep after memory upgrade

    I am restarting this topic as I have read thread after thread (many years old) and they all just die off with out any definite solution.
    I have a 13" Mid 2010 Mac book Pro which originally came with 250gb HDD and 4gb memory
    I have recently upgraded to a 256 SSD and a 1TB HDD optidrive replacement along with a 8GB memory upgrade and I am now running Lion 10.7.4
    If I close the lid and open within approximately 1 minute it will wake up quickly as normal, if I leave it asleep for a minute or 2 it will not wake up with out holding the power button for several seconds and then I still need to wait a several seconds for it to respond and actually wake up. Sometimes I will need to completely shut down and restart. If I wanted a computer that takes forever to wake up I would have a PC!
    The last thing I upgraded was the memory so I am sure it is the cause of the sleep problem and not the SSD conversion which was working fine with the original 4GB mem before upgrade.
    I have read about resting the PRAM, resetting PMC as well as executing a line in the terminal, but all of these seem to have variable success. I have tried every thing but using the terminal to adjust the hibernate mode setting as I am not proficient with terminal and don't actually understand what changing this setting does (sudo pmset -a hibernatemode 7).
    Has anyone resolved this sleep problem and what did you do? I would greatly appreciate some knowledgeable insight on the hibernation settings, and what running the line in the terminal is actually doing... even better what is the default so I can change it back if it doesn't resolve the problem.
    A simple memory upgrade causing such a issues is very irritating.... Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    But still, the sleep issue persists, so it is a more subtle timing issue. I upgraded my MBP with a Corsair 8GB kit ( http://www.corsair.com/us/corsair-mac-memory-8gb-ddr3-sodimm-memory-kit-cmsa8gx3 m2a1333c9.html ) and it indicated it had 9-9-9-24 CAS timing. It has worked flawlessly till now. Note that my Mac is a Late 2011, whose memory runs at 1333 MHz.
    As far as I can tell, the 13" Mid 2010 models used 1067 MHz memory with 7-7-7-20 CAS timing: http://www.corsair.com/us/corsair-mac-memory-8gb-dual-channel-ddr3-sodimm-memory -kit-cmsa8gx3m2a106c7.html

    Hi There!
    I want to first say thanks for all of the helpful tips thus far in this thread, but I am still coming across the same difficulties, despite several attempts to correct it. Does anyone have any other ideas of how to right this "Too Many Retries..., Login Later..." with regard to AIM. My other accounts work fine, and my AIM acct works from the AIM site, so it seems to be an iChat issue. Any help would be great!
    Thanks,

  • MOTION not allowing export of project after MAVERICKS upgrade.  What do I do?!

    After upgrading to MAVERICKS, MOTION 5 has no response when I choose to export my project.

    When you say "no response", what do you mean? Does the share menu not come up? Are the options grayed out?  Does Motion freeeze? You'll need to be more specific.
    As starting points, I'd recomend deleteing the application and re-installing it.  Also, do you use any third party applications like MacKeeper?

  • Itunes will not allow music to sync since latest upgrade

    Trying to sync music to two different ipods and ipad. since downloading the latest itunes version, no music will sync to either device.  I have checked selected songs (different for each device) and it will recognize 1755 songs but on the capacity bar, no audio is showing and when syncing, no music is transferred. I have tried restoring each device, all have latest upgrades....don't understand why it won't sync properly.  any ideas out there?

    this is a bug that came with the latest update. haven't seen any way of getting round it i'm afraid: http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipodtouch.html

  • Why does my bank website load in an old XP machine with 15.0.1 and will not load on win7 now, after I upgraded to 17.0.1

    I upgraded to 17.0.1 on a Win7 machine and now I can't access my bank website. I checked to see if the website was available on my old XP machine with 15.0.1 and I had no problem getting on my bank website. I tried again with my new machine, and I can't even get to the site, much less the sign in page.
    There are now a number of websites that I can no longer access, I get an "Unable to connect" page. I didn't have this problem BEFORE I upgraded to 17.0.1. And, something else is weird, when I do a google search, I usually can't click on the first link in the search results in 17.0.1, and sometimes other links.

    Do a malware check with some malware scanning programs on the Windows computer.<br />
    You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware.<br />
    Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.

  • Why does my iPhone not allow me to sync after iOS5 upgrade?

    I recently upgraded my iPhone 4to iOS 5 and I lost everything from my phone (all apps, music, contacts, etc.) and cannot sync to my iTunes account.  Any help out there?

    It might have a software issue that needs to be resolved.
    I would first try to reset the device by holding the home button and sleep/wake button until you see the apple logo. Then release. Wait for the phone to come back on and try again.

  • Will not allow me to download update; error code: 3

    At my work I have attempted to install the update to Creative Cloud but it will not allow me to. After it attempts to install, it will bring up the message: "Administrator privileges are required to continue with installation. (Error code: 3)" Obviously I need administrator approval to install, but the problem is at no point in the install process does it bring a prompt to enter admin credentials so it won't allow the install. Anyone know how to solve this problem? Thanks

    You can try :
    Troubleshoot CCM Applet installation and download

  • After I updated to iOS 7, my iCloud account is showing the incorrect email address for my Apple ID but will not allow me to change it- it's gray and I can't click on it. How do I fix this?

    After I updated to iOS 7, my iCloud account is showing the incorrect email address for my Apple ID but will not allow me to change it- it's gray and I can't click on it. How do I fix this?

    If you change your email, you do not need to "change" your AppleID. Just edit your email(s) on your Apple ID by logging in to your AppleID account. You should always use the same AppleID for  Apple Services (iCloud, iTunes etc) and multiple ID will cause problems and confusion in the future.
    You can manage your Apple ID here:

    Reinstalling Lion/Mountain Lion Without Erasing the Drive
    Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

  • My Safari will not allow me to open my Google calendar with Google Apps. I have to open my email with the older version of Google Apps. This happened after I installed 5.1.4. I tried to use the fix of changing to 64 bit by unchecking the 32 bit box no go

    My Safari will not allow me to open my Google calendar with Google Apps. I have to open my email with the older version of Google Apps. This happened after I installed 5.1.4. I tried to use the fix of changing to 64 bit by unchecking the 32 bit box but that didnt help.

    I assume that there are legal restrictions on the way in which iTunes can get artwork automatically from any source apart from the iTunes Store (which is what the right-click > Get Album Artwork function uses).  For example, even though the Gracenote service that iTunes uses to match CDs and retrieve metadata (artist, album, track titles, etc.) also has artwork functions, iTunes does not make use of these.
    For manual addition of artwork, there are three cases where the image you select may not be correctly embedded in your media files:
    your media are in a format that doesn't accommodate embedded artwork - typically WAV files.  To embed artwork you'll need to convert to another format - Apple Lossless or AIFF if you want to preserve lossless quality, AAC or MP3 otherwise.
    your media files are read only - to fix this, use Windows Explorer to find the folder that contains your files, right-click and select Properties.  On the General tab there's a check box labeled "Read-only" - if this is checked, or is grey (sometimes blue), click the box so that the flag is unchecked and the box is white.  Click OK, and then OK again when the "Apply changes to this folder, subfolders and files" option selected.  Now try adding the artwork again.
    Windows permissions issues are preventing iTunes from updating your media files (there's some anecdotal evidence of a change in this behavior in iTunes 12).  See turingtest2's notes on Repair security permissions for iTunes for Windows for advice on fixing this, then try adding the artwork again.

    Hi Timothy,
    The account cannot be validated error was due to a glitch on our activation server that has been fixed now.
    Please try using acrobat now and check if you are still facing the problem.
