Ichat won't accept buddy invitation

My ichat won't accept buddy invitation, even though I click accept. It still says waiting for authorization. This is from a coworker that I've been buddies with already whose screenname all of a sudden quit working with me only.

HI
This might be to do with your router.
If you used Port Forwarding to open the ports iChat uses you may have had to Point them to an IP address (Computer).
However if you left the router issuing IP addresses via DHCP then the computer may have changed IP, causing the Port Setting not to be pointing to the computer and it's current IP address.
Using UPnP in the router instead or Port Forwarding gets around this (If the device has UPnP)
Don't use both together as they conflict.
If the Mac Firewall Is On also check the Advanced button to see that iChat is Allowed. (In the List)

In the Finder use the Go Menu > Go to FOlder and type in ~/Library/keychains
Click the login.keychain once to Highlight and then from the Finder's File Menu do a Get Info (CMD and I Keys together)
In the Info Panel go to the Bottom and see if you Own the File
(Open the Padlock and then the cogwheel icon and your shortname should be there greyed Out about making you the Owner).
In the list above that you should be listed with Read and Write permissions.
If you don't have Read and Write permissions you will not store any new password.

IChat won't accept file transfers? Missing Plug-in

My iChat recently stopped accepting automatic file tansfers. Instead of a file, a "Missing Plug-In" icon pops up.
How do I fix this?

Hi,
Reinstall iChat
There is no realistic way of grabbing an individual component.
IF you are using Time Machine to do your backups and are certain when the app was working properly you could try Restoring it from the Backup.
The real issue as you will see reading the Reinstall info is that some of the iChat functions are held in support files and apps. Hence the suggestion to Reinstall.(Start with the App itself (Easy Way))

Ichat won't accept or send file transfers/freezes

I am running OS X 10.7.5 on my computer here at work, the same as everyone else here. We all use ichat, and we often use file transfers. For the past year or so, if I try to accept a file transfer, ichat freezes. Recently (within the past 2 weeks), even sending images (which used to be fine) causes ichat to freeze, and the image isn't sent. Occasionally it works, but usually not. Larger files never send.
When I go to Window>File Transfers, loading this windows also causes iChat to freeze, and I have to restart. If I restart after doing this, ichat refuses to load, immediately freezing (because it is trying to load that file transfer window), and I end up having to delete the com.apple.iChat.plist file from my preferences in order to get ichat to open at all.
I have googled this issue a lot but have never found a solution. Please help!

Hi,
You List Lion (OS X 10.7.x) so that mean iChat 6.
Which service are you using ?
Bonjour, AIM or Jabber to do this ?
The AIM account, if you have one, will login to the server on port 443.
However to send Pics-in-Chats or Files then it changes to using port 5190.
It would be unusual for one computer on the LAN network to be blocked for this port.
It is possible to block it on a Mac.
In the Finder use the Go Menu > Go to Folder and type /etc as the name of the folder.
This will open the etc folder (which is in Hard Drive Name/Private and is normally hidden)
Navigate to the Hosts files and Open With TextEdit.
It should read like this if unaltered
It would normally be used to block Servers (IP addresses) rather than specific Ports
If it is the Bonjour account try deleting the com.apple.iChat.Subnet.plist (it is in the same folder as the com.apple.ichat.plist one is).

IChat won't send chat invitation to my friends

Hi I didn't see anywhere to on the board for iChat 4 so I'm posting here. Basically the problem is whenever I try so start a multi-text chat with my friends PC and Mac users they don't get my chat invitations. However I can join chatrooms. I'd like some help if anyone knows the problem.

Try this.
Go to the File Menu in iChat
Select "GO to Chatroom"
It should be pre-filled with the Account Name (Screen Name) it thinks you are starting from.
Type over any Room name showing (Or type in Room Name) - You are creating one at this point.
You may also need to use the Show Participants from the View Menu.
You should now have an Empty Chatroom chat window open with the Participants drawer showing.
You can now drag Buddies to the Participants Drawer and send them a message as an Invite.
You can also use the "New Chat" option in the File menu and start A Text chat and drag multiple Buddies to the "To" Field and they will show in any Participant drawer as Waiting for Invite and you can then type a message to Invite.
NOTE
In re-testing the first Method I could not get a Text Chat window to display to add Buddies to.
I am sure I have done this since I got to iChat 4.0.7
It did work for a room I had previously created that remains in the list
The Second method worked for me.
Although my Show Participants option that used to be set to remembered across chats does not seem to remember it is supposed to be on show.
The Right Click (Control Click) method works for me.
If you find that these do not work for try deleting com.apple.iChatAgent.plist as this is the .plist for the Support App that does this Instant Messaging part.
You may Lose the setting for iChat Screen Sharing if you have set it in iChat 4

IChat Won't Accept People From My Address Book

I have been using an AOL screen name for years and today decided to move on and simply use my me.com account from now on.
I entered iChat 4.0.8 on Leopard and removed my AOL username from iChat, and added a new account with my MobileMe username.
Oddly, none of my friends already in my address book showed up in the window that opened. Not even as 'Offline'. Isn't iChat supposed to see those names and list them as Buddies since I took the time to add their screen names to my Address Book?
If I manually drag a name from AddressBook to one of iChat's lists - the name flashes in the list for a moment then disappears?
I tried trashing iChat's prefs and starting from scratch with it, but it hasn't helped...
How do I get Address Book to play nice with iChat like it's supposed to?

Here's the solution that I had used when it happened to me. Have you tried it as stated?

How do I fix my ichat? My buddy list appears, but whenever I try to click on a buddy to chat, IChat won't let me. Nothing appears. When I try to click on "File" - "New Chat" Also nothing appears. What's wrong?

My buddy list appears, but whenever I try to click on a buddy to chat, IChat won't let me. Nothing appears. It won't let me chat regularly via text, or by video/audio chat. Even when I click on File -> New Chat, still nothing shows up! But, when I look at how many chats I have open, it says I have "X" amount of chats open! But nothing is there.........
If somebody tries to video chat me from my buddy list, I can see the request.... and then the video chat will work. But I cannot request anybody and if they send me a regular text ichat, ichat won't deliver it to me.
Somebody please help me I've tried so many things and nothing is working!!!!! :/

Hi,
This sounds like it is about Window positions.
iChat has Default places for Incoming Invites.
Video is always top Center of your Screen
Audio and Text chats are Upper right with the Audio slightly lower than Text Chats.
Secondary invites are sort of Stacked like when you open multiple files from the same App.
Your outgoing Windows are "Remembered" as to where the last one was when you used it.
This can be an issue if you use your Mac with a second display and turn Off Mirroring.
You windows can get "left" on the other screen.
Go to System Preferences > Displays and turn On Mirroring and the windows should come back to one Screen/display.
If this does not help go to your Home Folder/Library/Preferences and delete (Drag to Trash) com.apple.ichat.plist and restart iChat.
Unfortunately you will need to reset any iChat Preferences you have changed from defaults.

I have accepted iCal invitations with repeating events and they have since been deleted from the iCal on my Mac but won't delete from my iPhone. Help

I have accepted iCal invitations with repeating events and they have since been deleted from the iCal on my Mac but won't delete from my iPhone. Help

I experienced this issue as well.
Background:
I had opened an ICS attachment for a repeating event on my iPhone, which added the item to my phone's calendar. I did not have the option to delete the calendar entry from my phone, and the item did not appear on the calendar on my Mac. My phone is currently running iOS 7 (but the problem began quite awhile ago; I don't recall which version of iOS was installed when it started).
Solution (summary):
Create a new calendar, move the items that you wish to delete to the new calendar, then delete the new calendar
Solution (detailed steps):
Create a new calendar
On your phone, open the calendar app
Tap the "Calendars" option at the bottom of the screen
Tap the "Edit" button in the top left corner
Scroll to the bottom of the list and tap the "Add Calendar..." option
Give your new calendar a good name, such as "Delete me"
Tap "Done" in the top right corner to save the new calendar
Tap "Done" in the top left corner to finish editing the list of calendars
Tap "Done" to exit the list of calendars
Assign all calendar entries that you wish to delete to the calendar you created in step 1
Tap a calendar entry that you wish to delete
Tap the "Edit" button in the top right corner
Scroll down until you see the Calendar field (on an iPhone or iPod it's usually just below the bottom of the screen), then tap the Calendar field to bring up the list of available calendars
Tap the name of the calendar that you created in step 1 (e.g. "Delete me"); the screen should return to the main calendar entry page
Tap "Done" in the top right corner of the screen. You may need to then tap the "< Day" button on the top left of the screen to return to the main calendar view
Repeat the instructions in step 2 for each of the calendar entries that you wish to delete
Delete the calendar that you created in step 2 (this will delete all calendar entries assigned to this calendar)
From the main screen in the calendar app, tap the "Calendars" option at the bottom of the screen
Tap the "Edit" button in the top left corner
Tap the entry for the calendar that you created in step 2 (e.g. "Delete me")
Scroll to the bottom of the scren and tap the "Delete Calendar" option. You should be prompted with a warning that explains that "All events associated with this calendar will also be deleted."
If you're sure that the only items on this calendar are items that you wish to delete, tap the "Delete Calendar" button
Tap "Done" in the top right corner to exit the Edit Calendars screen
Tap "Done" to exit the list of calendars. You should now be back at the main view of the calendars app
Rejoice, your pesky repeating calendar events have been deleted
At this point all of the items that you assigned to the deleted calendar should be gone
Repeat the steps above for any entries that you missed

Communication error, user "did not accept your invitation"

I think need some help. I have read many of the topics, however i have not been able to address my issue. Let me start by saying I am new to Macs (about 3 weeks) and not very technical. I have a Imac and also running time capsule as my wireless connection. As instructed i obtained an AIM account and attempted to do video chat, however when I try i get a communication error, user "did not accept your invitation". I have spent about an hour with apple tech services and have been able to successfully connect to the Apple test buddy. In fact my friend was also able to connect to the Apple test buddy. I have not tested a connection with anyone else.
I would greatly appreciate any help with this issue.

Hi Thank you for responding,
The message says that there was a communication error - did not receive response from the other person. On the other side they received the same error. Below is the error log
Yes, Time Capsule sits between my modem and my computer. I also have a Voice over Internet phone.
The entire set up is as follows.
Internet modem (make; Ambit) to Voice over Internet Modem to Time Capsule (set as router - share a single IP address using DHCP & NAT)
as for setting up time capsule - i set it to "i don't have a wireless network and wanted to create one"
I have not attempted to reach anyone in table 2 - I will do so and let you know
my error log -- again thanks for your help

IChat WON'T WORK using audio or video chatting [PLEASE HELP]

Bought a Mac a couple months ago and I'm pretty (yeah, that's VERY) happy about it. The thing is when it comes down to my iChat, I wanted so much to have video conference with my family in Brazil while I'm studying in Spain -- but I Just can't! =(
Let's put it that way: iChat won't recognize my (Googlechat) friends and their webcams; and as long as I'm connected, I have never seen any sort of "audio label" beside their names.
So can any Mac-pro please help me out explaining what the matter is?
Can't I talk to my friends just because the're using PCs -- or there's nothing to do with it?
I've tried everything, from Preferences to Praying; and it won't work. Just wanna let you guys know that all the people that I'm trying to talk to have webcams and microphones plugged-in.
PS - Plus, I got this huge agenda full of contacts (around 2,000) that appear to be on my iChat list, but they're somehow never online. Is that because I have to send them an invitation to join my Googlechat? =/
I'm totally lost here.
I'd appreciate if you people could answer me quick - as you always do here =). Tomorrow I'll have this unique chance to talk to my grandmother (for she's living in some sort of farm far away from civilized world) and I'd REALLY want to chat via Video Conference with my family tomorrow night.
Sorry for my bad english and thanks in advance.

Hi,
You can Add an Google Mail ID (@gmail.com or @googlemail.com) as your ID/screen Name in iChat.
From iChat to iChat this will also do Video or Audio Chats as well as Text chats.
From iChat to anyone using the Google Web Mail page you can text chat as the Video and Audio codecs are different.
The same is true of the PC app for GoogleTalk.
To be able to login in to Google Talk using iChat your have to Enter you ID as it is written on any Google Page when you are logged in (Ends with either @gmail.com or @google.com), Mail seems to cope with either but iChat needs it to match.
You also have to Enable the Talk option on your Google Account info.
To See the Green Video and audio icons go to the View Menu of ichat and Select Show Audio and Show Video.
If you are trying to Chat with a PC I would use one of these
Alternatives to iChat but Video chatting In a Web Browser
MeBeam. An option to use a Web site that create Private room for Video Chatting. Uses Flash to access your Camera and Mic.
iVideoChat Similar setup but a somewhat corporate type look to the site. Has Public rooms as well. Again uses Flash.
Googlemail/GoogeTalk now do a Version in a Web Browser
Tokbox A Site that can link your existing Buddy Lists that Uses Flash to Video chat in a Browser.
From http://www.ralphjohns.co.uk/page5.html#_other
Tokbox allows you to link to existing Buddy Lists.

Can't edit information in an accepted ical invitation

After I accept an invitation in ical, I would like to just edit the "new event" and "location" field but not change the date or time or any other information that would effect the invitation. Is there anyway to do this modification of text in ical?

After transferring songs to my iTunes Library I have tried to click on them so I can add composer, artist, and genre. Half of the songs will not allow me to add these items. I continually click on the song but it won't let me add anything or make any changes. Any idea what is causing this problem?
try this:
right-click (or ctrl-I) on your iTunes music folder and +get info+. check if you have read & write permissions. if not, change it accordingly. next, click on the little gear-shaped icon and +apply to enclosed items+.
try editing the songs again. any luck ?

Ichat won't open after leopard installation

I installed Leopard on 3 imacs and on my teenaged daughter's computer ichat won't connect. The message she gets is: "Could not connect to AIM...try again in a few minutes" But every time we wait and try again we still get the same message. The internet connection is fine. Any ideas? Should I reinstall Leopard???

Hi Barbara,
If the Buddy List does not Appear and the Accounts are not listed in either the Window menu or the iChat Menu > Accounts then I only know of the Activity Monitor route.
The com.apple.ichat.plist (and others) are in Users/(here account)/Library/Preferences
She has to navigate there manually either from the Finder Window side bar or from the hard Drive (or her house icon is the same a Her Account).
I this case if iChat is open (but not showing anything except the menu bar) I would open Activity Monitor and find both iChat (with icon and iChatAgent (without icon)
Quit iChat. It should disappear in Activity Monitor.
iChatAgent stays there for a while. That is why it say Force Quit it.
Once both are quit I would delete all the .plist for ichat
Then restart iChat.
it will use the Keychain and Address Book to prefill the Start Up Screens which she can click through.
This problems seems to be caused by a sudden drop out of the AIM server and corrupt info being in the .plist
It seems different people find it is different .plist that are effected, which is why I suggest dumping all of them.
If this does not work.
While iChat is still open go to iChat > Preferences > Accounts > Server settings and change the port to 443 but without the SSL login.
If you do not have access to the preferences repeat the above and restart the computer not connected to the internet and then start iChat. It will still report it can not Login but should give you access to the Preferences.

Ever since i downloaded skype to chat with a friend with a pc my ichat won't open

ever since I downloaded skype to video chat with a friend with a pc my ichat won't open - suggestions?

Hi,
So the DOCK looks like this ? (Or at least the Lion version of that)
The Menu Bar Icon looks like this ?
Ok if the App is open and you click once on the icon (Speech Bubble with Camera) in the DOCK all that will happen is that any iChat Window will come to the front.
This of course does need there to be an Open iChat Window.
Can you access the iChat Menu itself and Preferences from there ?
In the accounts section does it list any Accounts apart from the Bonjour one ?
In the Account info tab (If there is more tan one tab) does it say Use this Account and is the check box ticked ?
If before quitting iChat you close all the Windows including the Buddy List and then Quit iChat it will remember the Window state when you start it up again.
In fact the Window menu will tell you which Accounts are Logged in and these (if more than one) should match the "Use this Account" ones in the iChat Preferences.
Using the red button only "Hides" the Buddy List it does not log it out or Quit the app.
Does the Window menu list any Account like this pic does ?
(Example from iChat 4 with the Chax Add on (more Menu items) icons)
Does the Menu Bar icon (Second pic above) show you any Buddies in the drop down you see ?
This is my drop down menu for iChat 4 when iChat is Off
As you can see it says it is Off Line.
Selecting "Available" does nor launch the app for me either as it does not know which of the 6 Screen Names I usually Login is the one I want to be "Available"
I can understand the Menu (Drop Down) may have changed in iChat 6.
Nothing you have added in the last two posts indicates to me that Skype is in any way responsible (Not that I would normally wnaty to defend it)
Neither does it point to anything but a normal functions of iChat if you close it down in a certain way.
Also check the System Preferences > General Pane in Lion (it is called Appearance in earlier versions)
This has a new setting that can set for all App the ability to remember which windows were open the next time the app is launched. (i.e if a graphics app had a pallet open this would be remembered. However if all windows are closed but the app is still running when Quit this "windowless State" would be the one remembered)
(What is does do for iChat is return the "Remember Open Chats on Quit" from iChat 4 that got lost in iChat 5)

IChat won't recognize my MacBook's internal mic and allow me to audio chat

I have a MacBook which has built-in iSight and a built-in microphone. My iChat won't let me audio chat with my friends who are using AIM or Google Talk however the internal microphone is working. It works on Skype. It won't work on iChat at all however. It does not let me start audio chats or accept them. How can I get it to do that?
Thanks!

Hi kathleenmary:
Audio only chats only work Mac to Mac or Mac to PC's using Trillian.
Sorry!

How can I access my iCloud email account when I don't remember the password and Apple won't accept the answer to my security question?

I set up an email account with " @me.com". I get a wrong password message when I try to log in. When I try to change my password I get an INcorrect answer message to the security question I'm asked my birth date so I know I have it right, unless I did a typo when I set up the account. When I choose email me the reset password lnk I cannot retrieve the email because it won't accept the password. I wanted to justemail Apple for instructions but cannot find an email address for that. Any help would be appreciated.

I tried that without any luck. I was hoping I could get Apple to reset it for me or delete the account so I could recreate it or at least tell me what is listed as my birth date, the security question answer.
