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.

Won't start after 10.4.11 update

I just updated my OS to 10.4.11 and now my computer won't start up. I get to the Mac OS X screen that says OS X is starting up. Then I logon and then the blue screen and that is as far as I can get.

Likewise here - just updated the wife's imac 17" duo Intel and nothing.
OSX 10.4
Tried booting up into Safe Mode as per instructions. Cannot even get there.
Held SHIFT (even tried the left and then the right one) but still have the Grey Apple and spinning gear.
Now I'm a Windows user, so I know F8 or bootup with CD gets me into command console, isn't there an Apple equivalent to it?
Obviously Shift doesn't. I read somewhere else holding the Apple key or X does it, but nothing here.

IChat Service Cannot Start after 10.6.6 Updates

Hi,
My Mac Mini Server was working perfectly until I updated 10.6.6. All services are running except the iChat service. There is a series of error message in the log.
Any help? I have been searching everywhere but cannot find any solutions.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Tim,
I have a look at the topic "cannot log into iChat" post but this is not related to mine. My problem is very similar to some of the topics posted like "iChat server issues".
I have actually reinstall the whole server again. Checked all the services are running well (including the iChat service). Then, I run the Software Updates and the system updated with 10.6.6. Then, I restarted the server and the iChat service stopped now. The rest of the services are still running ok.
I suspect the 10.6.6 update has changed something and cause the service to stop.
Hope the information is sufficient. Thanks in advance.

Video Chat in iChat won't work after 10.4.8 update

I use video chat all the time in iChat but after the 10.4.8 update everytime I try and start a chat or get invited to one a window pops up and says "There was a communication error. Do you want to send a report to apple?". Has this happened to anyone else? Does anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks

Have you repaired permissions since updating? I'd start there.

[SOLVED] EVE Online won't start after Crucible 1.5 update

Before i start, i'm aware that this would be better off at WineHQ, but i'm technically not asking for help. I'm just wondering if any of you have gotten it running since the update. I already googled the issue and same thing for me as for every other Linux user, The Launcher works fine, but after the splashscreen it just crashes. So if any of you find a fix (or i find a fix, in which case i'll mark this thread as solved) please share it. Oh and i tried one fix that supposedly worked for a few, but i had no luck. (changing the msvcr100 from (native, builtin) to (builtin, native) )
Any help appreciated
Edit:
Okay i tried pretty much "everything" and i decided to completely remove and re-install wine (and all directories within) and start from a new install. These are the commands i made.
sudo pacman -Rs wine (first i removed winetricks, wine_gecko, and others requiring wine though)
rm -rf $HOME/.wine
rm -f $HOME/.config/menus/applications-merged/wine*
rm -rf $HOME/.local/share/applications/wine
rm -f $HOME/.local/share/desktop-directories/wine*
rm -f $HOME/.local/share/icons/????_*.xpm
Then i reinstalled wine and winetricks.
And I installed these packages using winetricks.
allfonts
msxml4
vcrun2005sp1
vcrun2008
vcrun2010
Then simply downloaded and installed the game, and at first i got the same crash error. So i went into winecfg and changed the msvcr100 to (builtin, native) and voila! it works perfectly. I must have had a missing file, or conflicting files or something within wine earlier.
So it's confirmed, this solution DOES work. And if you're in my position, and all else fails, then you know what to do. Hope this helps anyone who happens to be in the position i was.
Edit II:
Okay so after several patches after the big update, it seems to crash after every one of them, but it's simple to work around. When there's a new patch available follow these simple steps.
- Change msvcr80/90/100 to (native, builtin) and you will be able to successfully update with the launcher
- when the update is done, close the launcher, open winecfg and change back msvcr80/90/100 to (builtin, native) and you will be able to launch the game.
This seems to have worked for every patch/update that's released.
Oh and lastly, i also ended up installing d3dx9_43 with winetricks, don't know if that's necessary or not, but nevertheless.

Thanks, I had to change mscvr80 and mscvr90 to (builtin, native) also, but your msvcr100 tip lead me there. Works well for me now, thank you for sharing your experience.

Macbook Won't Start After Accidentally Interrupted Software Update

Hey all
I'm in need of HELP!! For the first time yesterday since my macbook purchase earlier this year, I tried installing the software updates.
After the computer downloaded the updates, it prompted me to restart the computer and so I did. As follows, the computer restarted and began to install the updates after restarting itself (the screen's background was blue displaying only the (bar) progress of the installation, which I accidentally interrupted and shut down).
Today, I've been trying to turn it on and even consulted the troubleshooting resolutions including restarting the computer with the control-command-power key combination, 'resetting the PRAM', and 'resetting the Power Manager'. I did this a couple of times just to be sure, let the screen load for awhile and still the screen won't go pass the gray apple logo with the loading circle.
What should I do now guys??

It is a very good idea to do a complete backup (clone) of your hard drive to an external drive before installing new software. That way, if it goes amiss for any reason, and they sometimes do, you can get right back to the exact state you were before the install or upgrade.
An external hard drive for making a routine (daily) backup of your computer's drive will be the best spent $100 or so you will ever spend on your computer. Even if your hardware gets corrupted or your drive burns out or your computer gets stolen; in all cases you do not lose your computer's data if you keep a current, duplicate external drive.

Cf9 won't start after installing JRE 7 update 25

C:\ColdFusion9\bin>cfstart.bat
C:\ColdFusion9\runtime\jre\lib\rt.jar: error reading zip file
Error occurred during initialization of VM
java/lang/NoClassDefFoundError: sun/reflect/UnsafeFieldAccessorImpl

jre don't have the dll, so you need to install JDK
Follow the steps mentoned below :-
You can remove/uninstall jre that you have installed
Download JDK
http://java.com/en/download/index.jsp
Install (run exe)
Stop ColdFusion 9 Application Server services
Now go to cfinstall root\runtime\bin\
Take a backup of jvm.config. Then open jvm.config and edit jvm.home
It will be something like java.home=C:/Program Files/Java/jdk1.7.0_25/jre
So setting this path means you are setting the path of jre present in the jdk folder not the standalone jre that you have installed.
Hope it helps

ITunes won't start after 12/22/13 update

I just updated my iTunes, and the app now will not open. When I click on the app, it bounces once, then nothing happens. There is no error message. I've tried safe mode and the same exact thing happens. I can't even access the iTunes program to see what the problem is. Help.

Can you open it from the Applications folder?

IChat Won't Start

I am posting this for my friend who has a Macbook with Tiger 10.4.11 and iChat av 3.1.9. His iChat won't start up for some reason, that we are not sure of. We would click on the application and it would bounce for a while then come up and say "iChat has quit unexpectedly" then we would click retry, but with the same results. We don't have the initial Mac OS cd, but we tried deleting his current iChat and sharing my iChat(same version) with him. This still didn't work so we need some help to get his iChat up and running!

Hi,
By default iChat should be in the Applications folder.
However a Previous moved copy may be linked to the icon on the DOCK.
You can find out where it thinks this coy is by Click and holding the iCon in the DOCK for the menu and then selecting *Show in Finder. * This will show the folder where that version is.
Now you should Right Click (Control Click) the name of the window that is open and it will show you the folder(s) that it is in.
If it reads:
Applications
(Hard Drive name)
(Possibly Computer name if showing in the side Bar)
This it will be in the right place.
As the Log (errorLogLevel7) thing did not work I expect it will show it is somewhere else.
I ma not sure why the dyld item shows right after your
/Applications/iChat.app/Contents/MacOS/iChat -errorLogLevel 7 part.
This may be a typo in entering the TERMINAL instruction.

C3-01 won't start after charging

I'm so angry right now but I will try and be cool about this!
I bought C3-01 mobile phone about four months ago and it is already causing me problems.
The mobile phone simply won’t start after charging. Last time i charged it, it miraculously came to life only, and only after annoying me for about hour and a half. Now I fear it is completely dead!
Battery was not completely empty so the phone should still start even if the wall socket is broken. Which is not, wall socket works perfectly.
Nothing helps! I tried removing the battery and then restart. Removing the battery then removing the sim card, memory card and that piece of “advanced technology” simply won’t start!
I didn’t buy my new phone so that I can use my old Motorola mobile, which btw., still works after 4 years of intense usage.
I will never buy Nokia again!

Hi,
Sorry to hear that your phone is not starting after charging.
I would suggest one more thing, which maybe helps. If you have another battery, please try.
If not, i would recommend to visit Nokia Care Point in your area.
To find your nearest Nokia Care Point, visit http://www.nokia.com/support and select the Repair page.

Mac Mini won't start after installing OS X 10.6.3

My Mac Mini won't start after installing Mac OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.3. When I turn it on, the Apple logo appears and the initialization line starts to fill, but it suddenly stops. It does that again and stops at the same point, but this time it shuts down. What should I do?

If you are coming from 10.5.8, hopefully you backed up your important data first. Your mini will need at minimum, 1 GB of RAM to install Snow Leopard and at least 5 GB of storage remaining on your boot drive.
I treat 10.6.3 as a fresh, full install over a 10.5.8 system. That means I choose Disk Utility from the Installer's menu and repartition the boot drive as a single partition, Mac OS X Extended (Journaled) format, and use the GUID partition scheme from the options button. At this point, while still in Disk Utility, I would verify the drive under First Aid.
Then I turn the installer loose, and reboot into a working 10.6.3 system, ready for the software updates that take the machine to 10.6.8.
So, following the above guidelines, reinstall 10.6.3.
