Logs on and off rapidly, then gets error message

When I open iChat AV, it logs on to and then off of iChat quickly several times. Then I receive this error message:
Could not connect to AIM
You have attempted to login too often in a short period of time. Wait a few minutes before trying to login again.
This problem always occurs.
Any idea how I can fix it?
Thanks!

Open your Little House icon then Library and then Preferences.
In here drag com.apple.ichat.AIM.plist to the trash and restart iChat

    Hello darkhawk,
    Thank you for the recommendation.  I somewhat understand what a MS DOS disk is, but I'm not sure how to go about creating one. I've seen where you can use a program, like Rufus, to create a usb one  - but I'm leery about using 3rd-party programs (especially ones I'm not familiar with). I've come across a couple of 'how-to' tuts, but they didn't clarify what files (if any) I would need to include on the disk (for my particular situation). Right now I don't have any blank cds, nor any extra flash/thumb drives - wish I did, but hadn't needed these for years. There has only been one other time where I needed to re-install Windows, but that was over 15 years ago - I did it through BIOS, reformatting my drives, and then reinstalled via the Windows XP disk. Windows 8 is an entirely different breed, which has left me feeling a bit stumped, at times. If there was a way I could perform it (successfully), similar to the first time I did it years ago, I'd give it a try - but at the same time, I'm a bit reluctant, because if it doesn't work, then I'm stuck without any internet access to get further help.
    Ask and ye shall receive. This should be doable in Windows 7 and Windows 8 on another PC. I recommend using a USB Flash drive like in this tutorial, but I'm sure you could use something else.
    If you want, you could also use Hiren's BootCD to make a bootable CD with many options and programs on it (I keep one, just for certain situations) that will allow you to do the same things.

    Also very useful for sorting out virus's as long as it's downloaded and made on another PC that is virus free......

  • Being asked to Authorize computer, and then get Error Message

    Hi, I went to sync my ipod this morning and I got a message to authorize the computer. I haven't done any upgrades since the last time I did a sync, but I thought maybe there was a burp somewhere so I clicked authorize. I then recieved a message "We could not complete your iTunes Store request. An unknown error occurred (-42408). Try again later."
    So I did, I tried it tonight (about 9 hours later) and got the same message. I logged into my account in iTunes and that worked, so I know I have the right password. I checked and I only have 3 computers authorized to play music, so even if I did add this one on top of that I should be fine. And there didn't seem to be any issues with purchasing things from the store.
    Any ideas?

    Hello mickeygee,
    I don't have any direct answers for you, but check out this recent thread regarding this issue for users to have recently updated to iTunes 9.03. There a number of posted potential solutions. Check it out. Hope it helps.

  • HT201210 I installed latest iTunes software on my Windows 7 PC, and now I keep getting error messages. Mainly one stating that MSVCR80.dll is missing. Where do I get this file from?

    I installed the latest iTunes software on my Dell Windows 7 PC. Durring installation, when it got to the "Starting Services" part, I got an error message:
    iTunes
    Service 'Apple Mobile Device' (Apple Mobile Devices) failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient priveleges to start system services.
    Abort    Retry   Ignore
    "Ignore" was highlighted.
    I tried "Retry" but same message kept coming up, so I tried "Ignore"
    Install completed. But when I tried to start iTunes, I got message:
    "iTunes.exe
    The program can't start because MSVCR80.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem."
    Followed by the message:
    "iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes. Error 7 (Windows error 126)."
    I have tried the install procedure (after uninstalling iTunes) several times with the same results. Where do I get the file MSVCR80.dll? How do I get past this?

    Click here and follow the instructions.

  • Hi,i cannot log into my itunes account,keep getting error message-0x800b0101,any help,on windows vista

    hi,error message appears anytime i try to use anything on the itunes menu,installed the latest updates and still no change.i can play song samples but cant purchase tracks etc....any help out there???

    Same problem. I can see the itunes store so not a problem with windows firewall. The account is active on my iphone so i know i am not locked out. I can connect the PC to my iphone so i know itunes is working ok. It is just logging into itunes on this pc which doesn't work. Only thing I can think of is that the email address I use for my apple id has been offline for a while and is working again now, I'm wondering whether this has been the case for others who are having this issue?

    Hello can someone please help? Trying to restore ipod and I keep on getting error message: The IPod software update server could not be contacted. The network connection was reset. Make sure your network is active and try again.

    Try:
    - Powering off and then back on your router.
    - iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
    - Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers

    - Try on another computer/network
    - Wait if it is an Apple problem

  • Tried to upgrade to iOS 5 and keep getting error message 1611.

    I plug in my iPad and try to upgrade to the new iOS 5 and it restored the iPad and now I'm getting error message 1611 and it won't even let me use my iPad right now, it's stuck at the start screen with the sync cord and iTunes logo... HELP...

    I had a similar problem -- but found a simple fixe here.
    All I had to do was move my USB cable from a port on the side of my computer monitor to a port on the computer itself. 
    Easy!
    Funny thing is, the original setup worked fine when I upgraded my iPhone 4 earlier in the afternoon, and I've synched my iPad 2 using it hundreds of times.  But it wouldn't do the upgrade for the iPad.
    Hopefully it will work for you too, and others that may read this thread.

  • Why do I get error message, Why do I get error message, Why do I get error message

    When I try to log onto my iTunes account I get error message the URL could not be open

    I quote Karl Petersen:
    "There's an iMovie bug that causes iMovie to think you don't have permission to access the project folder. The solution is to create a new project folder in the Finder -- by choosing the Finder's "New Folder" command. Like this:
    1. Create a new folder anywhere OTHER THAN inside the old project folder. Name the new folder "Replacement" or something.
    2. Create a new folder inside the Replacement folder. Name it "Media".
    3. Open the Media folder of the iMovie project. Choose Edit>Select All.
    4. Option-drag all the selected files (hold Option key down while dragging) to the new Media folder. That creates a duplicate of the files instead of moving them. (I'm assuming there is sufficient disk space to duplicate them. If not, simply drag them instead of Option-dragging.)
    Perhaps that is the solution.

  • I use Firefox to access my college's website and my account there. Ever since I downloaded the new Firefox, I can't log in to my account at my college and I get error messages. What's wrong?

    Ever since downloading the most recent firefox update, I have not been able to log in to my account at my college's website. I just get error messages every time. Even when I went to the Computer Sciences person at the college, he couldn't figure it out either. I need to be able to use Firefox to log in there because I have to download pdf files from there and Firefox is the only browser that seems to let me do that. But now that I can't even log in b/c of this stupid Firefox update, then its totally worthless to me.
