Logs in but closes.

Everytime I open iChat it logs on for one second then it closes without notice. After a while, it won't even log in and displays a message that says "You attempted to log in too many times in a short period of time. Please try again after a few mins...." I did what it said and I even restarted and shut down the computer but still not working. i need HELP NOW!

HI Kevin,
A reboot of your modem may be in order.
Disconnect the power for about 10 secs and let it reboot.
Another variation on what you describe may also help.
Shut down the computer.
Disconnect from the modem
Restart the computer
Restart iChat
Plug in the internet.
Log into AIM.
This sometime works as a more permanent fix than what you described.

  • I installed a new printer driver that was missing and now I can't get to my desktop. I can log in but it stays on the same page. How do I boot from disc?

    I recently upgraded to Snow Leopard and was missing the drivers for my HP 5000 printer. I got the drivers from HP and downloaded them. When I unzipped the file, my computer went to the login page. I logged in but it stays on that page. Can't get to desktop or do anything. Can anyone help with this?

    See if you can boot into the Safe Mode.

    When a pop up window comes up it is - search bookmarks and history window! I cannot log into my bank as login button should open new window to log in but I get the search page. I cannot see larger images as again I get the search bookmarks and history page etc. Happens on all options that should open new page. I am so frustrated, this has been happening since Firefox updated itself 2 days ago to Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-GB; rv:1.9.2.8) Gecko/20100722 Firefox/3.6.8 ( .NET CLR 3.5.30729; .NET4.0C) was fine before that. using windows vista. Can you please advise what I should do? Also can you go back to previous version? Error console eg
    Warning: Error in parsing value for 'cursor'. Declaration dropped.

  • Why do I get these messages "logged in but not to a specific secure zone"

    Could anyone please explain why this messge would appear on the dashboard
    'username' logged in but not to a specific secure zone
    instead of
    'username' logged in to Member Only Area secure zone
    On this website, customers can only log on to a secure zone, and there is only one secure zone.
    Thanks

    Hi Mario,
    Thank you for your response.
    There are only two places users could log in, and none have ZoneID=-1
    I tested both options with one of my own (non admin account) login, and none produced the above message.
    action="/ZoneProcess.aspx?ZoneID=51&OID=5459507&OTYPE=1"
    action="/ZoneProcess.aspx?ZoneID=51&OID=5459507&OTYPE=1"
    both ZoneID's are the same
    What is weird though, only one specific user account is generating that message.
    At this stage the user has not complained about not being able to access his/her data yet.
    My only concern was that this could be a possible security risk.
    Thanks

  • Power on MacBook Pro takes me to login screen. All user icons appear as normal. Once I enter password for myself (administrator) spinning takes longer than normal and doesn't log in but displays a no sign

    Power on MacBook Pro takes me to login screen. All user icons appear as normal. Once I enter password for myself (administrator) spinning takes longer than normal and doesn't log in but displays a no sign (circle w line through it) when attempting to login from guest account it takes me to screen that says that the computer will restart to a safe safari system for the guest user. I waited for a longer time and the grey denim screen comes up. By the apple in left upper corner it said I think LSA? Then safari menu bar. The page it loads to us file:///System/Installation/CDIS/Mac%2005%20X%20Utilities.app/Contents/Resource s/English.iproj/GuestLoginInfirmation.html
    Can someone HELP? I'm afraid I might do something wrong

  • Logged in but can't get in any playlists!

    I installed a completely CLEAN installation of Windows 7 on my pc. After this install I did not install iTunes directly, since I already hate the program due to lack of logics in it, or even it being unable to do as I want. (including leaving my carefully sorted files where they are!) But now this problem is getting even so big that I can NOT get any playlist opened at all! I installed iTunes today (clean install), I been trying to get it working for at least 7 hours now without any success.
    I have this since I have this iTouch series 1, so this problem keeps bugging me. And now i can't do anything at all! I can create a new playlist and a new smart playlist, but thats as far as iTunes let's me. I can NOT see anything besides a default message with 2 options when I click that new playlist:
    "Playlist"
    "Burn music on CD" - "share with others"
    (rough translation from Dutch)
    So I only see these things and NOT the music within the playlist that should be there. Meaning I am unable to sink my playlist on my iTouch, making it no more then a very expansive useless toy. Yes I logged in, but this seems to be pointless as well. No changes in this either.
    I tried using my Winamp playlists and import those, since Winamp is my main player. Works great and playlist making is easy and quick. No useless toys that I don't need/want attached. But since Winamp is not able to sinc the playlist with the iTouch to my knowlage, I can't use that program to do that. Playlists generated by Winamp also do the same as the iTunes generated playlists, show nothing more then that there is a playlist name.
    Im seriously getting angry here and fed-up with this, is there anyone that can help me out? Or am I forced (yet again) to pay for something that never worked for me in the first place? =( (which will force me to see a lawyer I guess). I just had it with iTunes and how Apple thinks they should treat their customers, I had nothing but missery with both my iTouch as iTunes so far =*( The Apple-stores are not much help either, tried 2 so far. But only thing I got is the same problems after their "help".
    Can anyone please help me figure this out please?

  • Hi, I forgot my user password mac 10.9.4 I don't need it to log in but i need it to make changes, etc. It says a password hasn't been set for this account but it still asks for one when i click on the lock icon. can anyone help me? thx!

    This is a little confusing since you say you have forgotten your password and then the system says you have not entered a password.  Even with an Admin account you must have a password to install software.
    If you are using Mac OS X 10.7 or above, you can change the admin password by restarting holding the Command and R keys, from the menu bar select Utilities, then Terminal.  When the Terminal window opens, at the cursor type exactly:
    resetpassword
    and press Enter.  When the Reset Password window opens, select the internal hard drive, and then the user account.  Type a new password twice, leave the Hint blank, and then Save.  Accept the next dialog that opens, and at the bottom of the Reset Password window agree to resetting the home directory permissions.
    Quit the Reset Password window, go to the apple left side of the menu bar, Restart.
    And you have a new password for your account.

  • HT201209 Logged in, but can't redeem codes?

    I have reset my Apple ID's password.  Logged out of Itunes, logged back in, no problem.  When I click "redeem code", it asks me to log in again, even though I am already logged in.  I enter my credentials.  Then, oddly enough, the log in window closes, then reopens, telling me to enter my log in credentials.  It doesn't say I entered in the wrong information or anything, it just tells me to log in again!
    Why?  I don't understand, it says I am logged in already, why can't I redeem a code?  It doesn't even let me try, it just goes straight back to the "Log in" screen.

    ok so i dowloaded the pdf editor and only amall screen shows up and i log in but it doesnt let me do anything other that stare at it ... how can i edit a pdf?

    Word processor like "editing" is not tolerated by PDF (the file format/technology discussed and described by the ISO Standard for PDF, ISO 32000-1).  Minor touchups are tolerated. The textual characters have to be renderable text (a scanner's output image of text is a picture of text not "real" text).
    Open the PDF with Acrobat XI.
    Click-path:

    Be well...

  • I recently switched to a new laptop at work and had synced my firefox on the old laptop. I am logged in but I do not have my bookmarks or option to sync. ??

    I can't seem to find the log in section in the firefox settings. I logged in at Mozilla and it says I am logged in but no option to sync yet on the browser.
    Thanks

    Hi iamjoshuaclark, I am sorry to hear that you are having problems getting Firefox to sync to with your account. The good news is that I am here to help get this problem fixed.
    I see that you said that you are logged into your account but you do not see the option to sync. So right now I am going to make sure that you are logged into your Firefox Sync account. If you want to look at the article about this topic the link is [[Firefox Sync troubleshooting and tips|here]] .
    First click on the three horizontal lines in the top right. Then near the bottom of the pop out menu you should see your email address. If not click on sign into sync. If this was the problem after you do this everything should be fixed. If not then the problem might be that your old computer in using the new vision of Firefox sync. The new vison uses email and passwords the old one uses a code to pull up your information. If your old computer is using the old system this can be fixed by updating Firefox and logging into Firefox sync. I will leave it there and if it still is not working let me know.

  • Can I recover guest files if I didn't log out but only forced power cut

    Hello there
    I have a MacBook Pro with mountain lion 10.8.3
    I was using guest account and had my files on it then after a while my Mac became lagging and not responding. I left it for a while (> 6hours) And still it won't respond. The screen is black (after putting the screen down and up again) and sleep indicater is always on (not blinking) fans are still working. HDD is SSD I don't know about FileVault status but I didn't activate any encryption myself so if it isn't on by default I didn't later activate it.
    I'm trying to see what my options are since I know files will be deleted if guest user logged off. But in my setuation, what are my options / chances of file recovery if I just forced power cut by long press on power button since this is my only path to go unless my laptop would magically come back to normal state.
    I was thinking about force shutdown and then either target desk mode (would need to find another mac or see if genius will help)  or logging on to admin and either see if I can access guest folder from there or try recovery programs from admin account.
    I have time machine set up for admin on an external hdd but don't know if it also backs up guest account. If it does would I be able to recover using time machine after logging on to fresh guest ?
    Thanks for your help

    I don't have any option but to long press power button since my MacBook now is only functioning as a pizza warmer. My question is more about if the deletion sequence would be activated this way since technically I didn't log off yet.
    If it is not deleted yet maybe I would say it will be deleted on either boot or logging in but not sure.
    That is why I'm thinking about target desk mode
    Files are on the internal drive and nothing is attached to my MBP.
