IChat won't launch

I am currently running 10.6.8 and one day, iChat would not open at all. The icon doesn't even appear on the dock when I click it. Right now, the icon looks like this -

Hi,
Can I be clear ?
You don't normally keep iChat as an App in the DOCK and that icon is seen in the Applications Folder itself ?
I have seen that type of icon on itmes downloaded from the 'Net and you then get s pop up message asking if you Trust it.  (The icon then appears properly - although I have seen some take until a computer restart to appear correctly)
Do you get a tooltip message if you mouse over the icon ?  (Small popup type message)
There may be several ways to fix this depending on any message.

  • Mail & iChat won't launch - Please help

    Hey guys
    So I was trying to make a clone of a HD from another computer using Carbon Copy Cloner because I was going to wipe it out and install Tiger. I wanted to make a backup copy to my computer so I used Target Mode to bring my computer's HD to the host computer and make the copy. This was the first time I used CCC so instead of making the HD an image file I selected Choose Target or something like that, then it started making a copy of it directly to my computer's HD. I stopped it when I saw it was copying all the files and folder to my computer's HD, I mean, I thought it would make a separate folder with the name of the HD I was trying to make a backup of and put everything in it. But no, I was wrong. Then I was able to make it an image file. Backed it up, everything ready for wipe out. After finishing with the backup I erased it, and then installed Tiger without a problem. Going back to my computer I encountered a problem, Mail and iChat won't launch. My guess is that when CCC started making the clone to my comp's HD it messed up something somewhere on my computer affecting them. So I'm asking you guys if you can give me a hand on how to fix this problem. If anybody knows how to make them work again please let me know as I need them to work, they're part of my work's tools.
    Thanks a lot and I really appreciate your help!

    I am having the same problem, and then when I look at the error report this is what it says:

  • Safari, iChat won't launch ?

    Need advice, can't launch Safari or iChat. Or it will take them 10-15 minutes to launch.
    This started after I was trying to do a secure erase on an external
    firewire hard drive.
    I think Disk Utility hung because the progress bar wasn't advancing
    after an hour and it never completed the process. So I had to do a Force
    Quit of Disk Utility.
    Thereafter, I first had problems with doing a normal Restart. That now
    seems OK after a Force Restart and a couple of regular Restarts.
    But what is still a problem is Safari and iChat won't launch either from
    the dock or from their location. They either show the arrow below their
    icon in the dock or they do the bouncing thing but they don't launch.
    Any advice as how to repair. I've run DU and Disk Warrior but all was OK
    and still doing it.
    Thanks for any advice.

    First, use Disk Utility from the hard drive to repair permissions. Check the following for possible fixes:

    1. Navigate to YourHome/Library/Fonts - drag this folder to the desktop.
        • Restart and test your applications.
        • If they work start adding the fonts back few at a time.
    (Likely suspects are TimesRO & Helvetica Fractions, also if you do not use Classic you can trash the classic fonts.)
    2. Check Preferences Thoroughly:
        • Go to Users/Your_Name/Library/Preferences and trash the files:
        - com.apple.ATS.plist
        - com.apple.BezelServices.plist
        Restart. If this did not help, go to Users/Your_Name/Library and drag the folder Preferences to the desktop. Restart and see if this solved the problem
        • Navigate to YourHome/Library/Preferences drag this folder to the desktop.
        • Restart and test your applications.
        • If this works, save the old preferences folder somewhere else or on disk, name it "old prefs."
    ** Note: A very important file is the "com.apple.Mail.plist" preference file located in the Preferences folder which contains all email account settings and general mail preferences (hold this one and replace if your problem is not with Mail).
    You'll have to go through some of your System Preferences and apps to set the preferences back to how you like them. (Or if you have the time and inclination, "cherry pick" through until you find the problem one or two.)
    3. Check Permissions Inside Home Folder
        • Navigate to yourhome/library.
        • Get Info (Command + i) on the "Applications Support" folder.
        • Open the "Ownership & permissions" disclosure triangle.
        • Make sure you are the owner, with "read and write" access.
        • Click on "apply to all"
        • If this is correct, open the "Applications Support" folder and do the same procedure (Command+I) for the folder names of the applications with which you are having trouble.
    Note:
    The reason to check this is because repairing permissions with Disk Utility doesn't touch permissions inside your home folder.

  • IChat won't launch on Snow Leopard

    Only after upgrading to SL, my AIM account launches but immediately logs out.

    Try logging on to AIM on port 443 rather than port 5190.
    Go to IChat in the menu bar > Preferences > Accounts.
    Log out of AIM and then use the Server Settings tab
    Set the port to 443(press return/enter(you might have to tick and untick SSL for 443 to stick)).
    Log back in again.

  • Please please HELP! iChat won't launch!

    I think my husband deleted the program or messed it up somehow, but he doesn't know how. Instead of the icon in the >Applications menu, there is the paper with the pencil & ruler. He somehow deleted Garage Band, as well! I have tried reinstalling via the OSX Leopard install CD and restarting and it STILL does not work. I am fairly new to Mac, so I need specific instructions.
    Thank you SO MUCH!!

  • Safari and iChat won't launch

    Hi,
    I have just updated to 10.5.1 and now when I try to open Safari I get a message saying 'You cannot use the application 'safari' with this version of Mac OS X'. The same happened with iChat
    What can I do?
    Thanks

  • New Mini w/Intel - Safari and iChat won't run

    We have a brand new machine with OSX 10.4.5
    iChat won't launch at all, just goes right to report window.
    Safari launches but crashes after a few minutes. Goes to report window.
    Hard to believe Apple software not working on this.

    Hi Jane B
    I would suggest you create a new user in your Accounts preference pane. call the user test if you like.
    Login as that user adn see if ichat runs and safari runs ok.
    If that is the case then its a bad preference in your own user account.
    Post back here what happens please.

  • Ichat icon is wrong - pencil/paper - won't launch

    Running 10.5.8; has pencil paper icon (not camera). Won't launch; quits.
    Ideas? How do I reinstal.

    Hi,
    Welcome to the    Discussions
    Is this in the DOCK ?
    Does it launch from the Applications Folder ?
    If this is the case drag the current iCon Off the DOCK (puff of smoke)
    Drag the app to the DOCK. (This does not move the App but creates a Alias and Link to make it launch).

  • My apps won't launch & menu bar missing all top left icons!!!

    A strange concurrence of multiple problems:
    I am a pretty advanced user and have an iBook G4/1.33 GHz running Tiger 10.4.8, but I am having trouble with my PowerMac G4/500 MHz running 10.3.9 right now. I keep my PowerMac in Panther since it is almost 7 years old and I only have Tiger on my iBook disc.
    Suddenly a few things started to happen at once yesterday:
    1) NONE of the top right menu bar icons (OS 9 status, modem status, iChat, monitors, AirPort, Volume, clock, etc. show up upon log-in or restart.
    2) Virtually NONE of my apps will launch from the Dock or the Finder. They bounce a few times then give up, with no error message.
    I peformed successful repairs booting from both the OS X Panther disc and TechTool Deluxe. Although recommended, I can't create a TEST User because System Prefs won't launch, can't repair permissions from the problematic drive because Disk Utility won't launch, and I can't clear out caches because Cocktail won't launch.
    I made sure the Application Support Folder in my Home Library had read/write permissions for me and applied to all enclosing folders as suggested. I tried trashing the com.apple.ActivityMonitor.plist preference in my Home Library also as suggested. However, it wouldn't allow me to remove the Launch Services file in the Caches folder of the main Library Folder as I also read here in the discussions.
    Aside from successfully running disc repairs from the startup disc and TechTool, I tried repairing permissions from the startup CD as well (since couldn't launch any apps like Disk Utility from regular startup drive). Every time I try to repair in this manner though, after a minute it tells me "Disk Utility lost connection with Disk Managment" and I must quit and relaunch Disk Utility. However, same thing happens when I do, for both my drives running copies of OS X 10.3.9.
    Only thing I can think of is to do an Archive/Reinstall of one of the two OS X systems on two different drives. But does anyone else have a clue what is causing this or what I need to try??? I read similar stories on here but nothing will all these symptoms at once.
    I would REALLY appreciate some input, thanks!!!

    Menu Bar Problems ..........
    Check the following link for OS X troubleshooting steps. When doing so, following all steps in the order provided:
    http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/repairprocess.html
    1 If resetting permissions doesn't help, you may have a corrupt preference file... Delete....
    Delete ~/Library/Caches (folder)
    ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systemuiserver.plist
    ~/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.systemuiserver.xxx.plist
    where 'xxx' is a 12 digit (hexadecimal) numeric string
    • Then log out and back in again. You may need to go to System Preferences to put back the menu items you need to display.
    • Removing systemuiserver.plist will cause the right half of the menubar back
    its original pristine default state.
    2. Check Preferences Thoroughly;
    - Navigate to ~/Library and drag the "Preferences" folder to the desktop.
    - Restart and test your applications.
    • If this does not work, move the "Preferece" folder back to ~/Library
    • If this works, delete the old preferences folder. (You'll have to go through some of your System Preferences and apps to set the preferences back to how you like them).
    3. Navigate to ~/Library and drag the "Fonts" folder to the desktop.
    - Restart and test your applications.
    - If they work start adding the fonts back few at a time.
    ( A likely suspect is Time RO, also if you do not use Classic you can trash the classic fonts.)
    4. Check Permissions Inside Home Folder
    - Navigate to ~/Library.
    - Get Info (Command + i) on the "Applications Support" folder.
    - Open the "Ownership & permissions" flippy triangle.
    - Make sure you are the owner, with "read and write" access.
    - Click on "apply to all"
    - If this is correct, open the "Applications Support" folder and do the same procedure (Command+I) for the folders with the names of the applications you are having trouble with.
    Note...The reason to check this is because repairing permissions with Disk Utility doesn't touch permissions inside your home folder.
    • Create a new User.... go to System Preferences/ Accounts and click on "+" at bottom left of window..... and test the apps in this new account if they work the problem is isolated to your User
    (~ means your home directory)

  • Ichat won't open in Tiger

    As of a few days ago my ichat won't open at all. No error message, nothing it just bounces like it is going to open, then stops but doesn't launch. I did a basic software update a few days ago, and immediately afterwards my computer was running slower and safari wouldn't launch. A day later ichat refused to open and I am at a loss!

  • IChat won't start after 10.4.3 update!!!!!

    After I installed 10.4.3 iChat won't start. It would look like it was going to Launch and would quit. I looked at all the postings and found a couple of ideas, but nothing that worked. The only way I can get on is by disabling my network connection and then starting iChat and then re enabling my network connection. Any other ideas. Please let me know.

    Ralph, no offense, I know you're trying to help this guy, but all you've done to offer him advice is to tell him what he already said he's doing and was trying to not have to perform every single time he wants to use iChat.
    In his ORIGINAL post, he said exactly this:
    The only way I can get on is by disabling my network connection and then starting iChat and then re enabling my network connection.
    Please try and really read what someone asking for help is saying, then offer advice if you've got it. All it looks like here is that you weren't really paying attention to his problem in the first place.
    As for me, I'm having much the same problem as a lot of people getting iChat to work, and I clicked on this seeing it had a reply thinking I was going to finally find an answer. It's a little frustrating to see people reply with exactly the same information they've already been given just being repeated back to them.

  • 10.4.7 Intel- apps now won't launch

    I applied the Intel 10.4.7 Combo updater to my 1 month old Macbook and now most applications will not launch. Safari and Camino both will not launch. Luckily I also have Opera which works.
    I click on an app; it bounces once and then nothing as if I never clicked it. Other apps that won't launch: Adium, mail, ichat, address book, itunes, iphoto and others
    Apps that do work: Quicken, Imovie, prefs, dashboard, terminal, quicken, and others
    Ok after writing all of that, I checked console and saw that every one of those applications actually crashes and leaves a crash log. Each crash log has the same error about the address book as shown below.
    Here is the log for Safari:
    Host Name: mb
    Date/Time: 2006-06-27 23:15:07.466 -0400
    OS Version: 10.4.7 (Build 8J2135)
    Report Version: 4
    Command: Safari
    Path: /Applications/Safari.app/Contents/MacOS/Safari
    Parent: WindowServer [94]
    Version: 2.0.4 (419.3)
    PID: 345
    Thread: Unknown
    Link (dyld) error:
    Library not loaded: /System/Library/Frameworks/AddressBook.framework/Versions/A/AddressBook
    Referenced from: /Applications/Safari.app/Contents/MacOS/Safari
    Reason: image not found

    Ok I fixed it myself. Somehow there was some filesystem corruption which caused some important files to disappear. (Disk first aid told me this.) I restarted in single user mode and ran fsck -yf. It gave me all these horrible file system errors but was able to repair the disk! Things are working fine again- for now.
    Now I'll really be happy if this update cures the Moo.

  • Messages won't launch on OS X Mountain Lion

    When trying to launch Messages I get an "Internal Messages error:  There was a problem with Messages. You need to quit and open Messages again."  Messages won't launch ever since I restarted after the last Mountain Lion update to 10.8.2.  Any ideas how to fix this?

    Hi,
    I would start with Repairing Permissions  (Disk Utility in Applications/Utilities)
    Follow that with a PRAM reset.
    Shut down the computer.
    Restart it holding down Apple/CMD ( or ⌘)+ALT( ⌥)+P+R Keys until you have heard three Start Up Bongs.

  • 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)
