Instant Messaging Internal Errors

It's been a while since I used iChat to IM with my brother (a PC user)--probably haven't tried it since I got the new iMac with 10.4. Now suddenly, every few characters I type bring up an error message that reads like this:
NSInvalidArgumentException:
* -[NSCFArray addObject:]: attempt to insert nil
Anybody know what this is about? Thanks very much.
Bob

Ralph--
Well, it's an interesting start. As soon as I selected Check Spelling... I got the now-familiar error message. As soon as I typed a few characters, I got the error message. Don't know if that confirms or clarifies anything, but the problem certainly hasn't gone away.
I looked at your webpage (and thank you for it), but a couple things aren't matching: there is no Computer Collection, and no User Collection. Both Helvetica and Lucida Grande appear in the All Fonts Collection, and both certainly appear to be active. But holding the cursor over them reveals nothing; right-clicking doesn't pull up any info either. (Whereas holding the cursor over the option buttons at the top of the window does reveal info.)
So what does one do if one has a problem with Spaces? I'm rather fond of them, myself.
Thanks very much for your help.

  • Instant Messaging Internal Error 500

    Hi,
    I have an unlocked AT&T Treo 680 that I am using on t-mobile.  I have the AT&T 2.11 software already installed on the device but I have not been able to connect to instant messaging and receive the internal error 500 code.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Have you figured out what to do to take care of this problem? I'm having the exact same issue. I was able to use the IM software that was on the 680 initially. Then all of a sudden, it didn't work anymore.

  • AOL Instant Message PW Error

    Since updating to 10.7.2, I'm getting this annoying pop up error message about AOL instant messaging password error.  The message states: iChat can’t log in to @mac.com because your login ID or password is incorrect.  I don't use ichat and want the message to stop, so what do I do?

    Hi,
    In iChat go to the iChat Menu > Preferences > Accounts
    In here go to the Server Setting tab/Button for your @mac.com name
    Disable (Untick) the SSL option.
    Make sure the NON SSL server reads login.oscar.aol.com
    This is the most common issue if the name worked before.
    The other issue is having a @Mac.com name with a password that is longer than 16 characters.
    If you are just getting around to using the @Mac.com in ICHat you will need to shorten the Password due to the Limit AIM has on checking passwords.

  • 10.8.2: FaceTime + Messages: internal error, won't start

    Hello.
    I've installed the 10.8.2 update and now I can't use FaceTime or Messages anymore. They won't even start up.
    I always get this error message telling me that some internal error has occured and I need to quit and reopen the application.
    I really need FaceTime and Messages on a daily basis. So this is a nightmare!
    Before the update everything worked fine.
    Every ten seconds(!) or so a new crash report is generated because some process called imagent crashed.
    Here's the beginning of two crash reports:
    Process: imagent[1120]

    [I didn't include the large part of the crash reports called Binary Images to keep this post short but I'm more than happy to do so if it's essential.)
    What I have tried so far (without accomplishing anything at all):
    - installed the 10.8.2 combo updater on top of everything
    - deleted all preference files in my home library related to the imagent, ichat, FaceTime and Message (incl. the ByHost folder). And incl. the Cache folder.
    - deleted all keys/entries in my key chain that are/seem related to FaceTime, Messages & imagent
    - created a new admin user and tried to start FaceTime/Messages using this account
    - I even repaired permissions (even thought this didn't look like a permissions issue).
    I'm really  quite frustrated as I can't seem to repair this.
    I hope somebody reads this and knows just what I need to do to get FT & Message going again. That would be so much appreciated.
    Thank you.

    Hi,
    IMAgent is a support app tucked away on the "System" side of things that helps with Messages (or iChat 6 in Lion) and the FaceTime App.
    Basically what it does is Login the accounts and "Listen" for Off Line IMs and calls
    For Messages it will start up the App if a Messages is sent to any of your IDs or Screen Names.
    For FaceTime it will start up the app if someone calls you.
    It is this IMFoundation item that you need to be "reinstalling"
    Expected in: /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/IMFoundation.framework/Versions/A/IMFoundatio n
    If this is the file you "replaced" I would do a Mountain Lion Recovery and reinstall the whole OS.

  • Error Message: Internal Error Occured

    I have been using the same template files for several years now and all of a sudden I started getting the following Error: "An internal error occurred while writing imported graphics to this file. The file was saved but has lost some image data. I have 6 graphics on the reference page, and have replace all 6 but still get this error. By book consists of 8 files but only 2 files seem have this error. The same time this started I also started to get missing font errors, for a font I never had installed on the system.

    I searched the forums as you suggested, and can see that there is an issue with SP3. Like many of the others removing SP3 is not an option. I tried to save as a MIF and got the same error. However when I open the Cover.MIF.CC6 file that was created it did grey out the problem graphic (an OLD-2). Was able to save file as fm and recreated the graphic.
    I have also noticed and have not been able to fix, since the SP3 install is a font error for one font type Arial Black. All of my files use this font. I have had IT down and they uninstalled and reinstalled the font. The font works fine in other programs, and in the FrameMaker files, but I get a font Error message about missing fonts.

    Hi jennycork,
    Please let us know the following:

    - Are you able to launch Adobe Reader (without opening any PDF file) or you get error message?
    If you are not able to launch then perform the following:
    Right click on the Adobe Reader icon and choose Troubleshoot Compatibility - Try Recommended Settings - Then choose test the program and that is where you will be able to Disable Protected Mode which will fix the program. You can disable Ptroected under: Edit > Preferences > Security (Enhanced) > Enable Protected Mode at startup.

  • I just downloaded the Adobe Acrobat DC update on my Mac (Yosemite). Now, I can't open any of my PDFs. I'm getting the message "Internal Error Occurred." What does that mean, and can someone help me?

    HELP!

    Hi Sukrit,
    Am also facing the same issue.
    I get below error messages when i open a PDF.
    "An internal error occured"
    I have installed new windows 7 and i was not having pdf viewer. I just downloaded the latest adobe acrobat reader DC for the adobe site and installed in my PC. Thing is, am able to open some of the PDF files (word document that is converted into PDF). But scanned images for example photo or mark sheets that are converted into PDF, am getting this error message.
    I tired almost everything.
    1) un-installed and installed again.
    2) installed previous version of adobe
    3) unchecked the "Enable, protection mode during startup"
    4) tried setting zero for "bproectmode" in the regedit (key_host_local_machine->adobe->dc> Dword with value 0)
    5) created new administrator account, and even there, i got the same error message.
    6) tried repair installation said by Sukrit...
    But nothing fixed my issue
    Please someone help me in fixing this issue.

  • Error message: Internal error: T XNACH F KONDITION_ZUORDNEN I MV13BF0K

    Dear all,
    May I know what is the reason of the following error message when I try to access MN22 and MN23?
    Internal error: T XNACH F KONDITION_ZUORDNEN I MV13BF0K
    Message no. VK067
    Please help.
    Thanks.
    Tuffy

    Hi
    For the error in MN22:
    the correction report RSWFMCTB mentioned in note 12919 has always
    solved this problem in the past.
    So, please check your customizing to find which condition table is
    being used in the access sequence. If you run RSWFMCTB for this
    table the problem should be fixed. 
    Regarding your issue in MIGO:
    please follow the customizing path below and make the relevant setting :
    Implementation Guide for R/3 Customizing (IMG)
    -> Materials Management
      -> Inventory Management and Physical Inventory
       -> Output Determination
        -> Maintain Output Determination Procedures
         -> Conditions: Procedure
    PLease compare it with the standard one and make sure that all requirements needes are there, that no conditoin has the manual flag set. PLease make also sure that the printer is added to the user (transaction SU01).
    If this does not help, I´d advise you to open a ticket at SAP, so that an expert can have a look at your system.
    Best Regards,
    Arminda Jack

  • Messages internal error occurred?!

    Hi guys! I am getting some weird messages errors lately (fot the last 1 hour) it says "An internal error occurred. you need to quit and reopen messages again". I quit and rebooted messages and my MBP retina but no luck. 2 or 3 times messages asked for my apple ID password and when i logged in successfully, same error msg again. what is the prob? Im really considereing completely erasing every of my macbook and trying to set it up again. my major concern is the fact that my MBP is only 4-5 months old! i bought it in april 2013 and im already getting these issues.
    Ive been having quite a few other problems and its driving me crazy. if you can help to solve some more of those issues, then look as some of my others posts.
    And another question. I've been getting some really horrible battery performance (as mentioned in another one of my questions). and when i looked through something like 100 different answers on this site and MacForums, i think that the prob is either something to do with Mountain Lion (i have 10.8.4) or with the fact that the battery may be faulty. so any suggestions on whehter is should take it so an apple store of wait for a mountain lion fixwould be welcome bc i dont have Apple Care.
    any help will be appreciated,
    Rohan

    Here is a screen shot of the same error that i took about 2 min ago
    hope this helps!
