Lost iChat somehow how do i get it back in the system

I am a newbe for mac. I had a msn messenger update and i downloaded it for the im, and when it finished it showed a ? in the middle of the iChat icon. I clicked on it and nothing happened. I got out of MSN and came onto mac said and the iChat icon was gone. I can not find it on the system. I go to finder then apps and look at the apps on the system and it show no ichat. I search for it and nothing comes up. What happened and how can I get it back.
It has been a great change since I came to mac and have enjoyed it far more than i did when i had my PC. Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks
Larry

  • Lost iPhoto. How do I get it back. The Time machine not far enough back

    Installed iLife 11 so I could use the IDVD program. This may be coincidence, but I have lost the IPhoto program. The library seems intact, its the program itself. How do I get it back?

    Go to the Mac App Store.
    Look on the Purchases page
    See if there is a version of iPhoto for you there, waiting to be downloaded.

  • I have found a lost iPhone 4--how do I get it back to the owner?

    Hello Folks,
    I've found a lost iPhone 4, along with a charger and some other personal effects (none of which are identifying, unfortunately).
    Unfortunately, the phone ("Alyssa's Phone) was locked.  No problem, call up the service provider (Telus) with the SIM card number.  Unactivated and thus unregistered SIM card.
    Okay, let's use the IMEI or serial number off the back of the SIM tray--not registered with Telus, either.
    Okay, let's phone up Apple technical support: serial number no longer eligible for support!
    Clearly, Apple has had some dealing with the phone--can they get in touch with the owner and let them know where they can pick up the phone?

    Try to connect the MBP to your computer with Firewire-Target Disk Mode
    follow instructions here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1661
    and try to find out the owners identity.
    it won't work if "open firmware password" is enabled on the MBP.
    Or if everything is FileVault encrypted.
    It's possible it won't work without a power brick for the MBP, perhaps you can borrow one ?
    You could also take out the Harddisk, and pop it in an external enclosure, but that's more effort.

    I somehow lost all of my contact during a sync yesterday, how do I get them back on the phone?

    Your contacts should be available on your computer. Were the contacts lost in the address book on your computer that is supported for syncing contacts with your iPhone?

  • My marketplace has lost his CSS-Layout! How can I get it back/install the marketplace new?

    Hi,
    since a few weeks, when I start the Firefox Os marketplace, I see an unformatted HTML-page without any layout. Somehow I lost the layout information. How can I get it back? The first idea was reinstalling the marketplace. But it is not an app in the marketplace...
    Please help me. using the marketplace without layout is not usable for a longer time.
    Alle other apps are working fine. The marketplace had an layout, when i bought the smartphone (ZTE Open C).
    regards
    AK

    Hi Ralph,
    thank you for your quick response.
    I saw a simple HTML-Page in white, all links in blue or purple. I expected the normal marketplace-layout.
    After opening your link at the browser and adding a favorit to the desktop my original marketplace-App-Button works fine again. Now even using the App-Button the layout is back again. Sometimes it can be so simple...
    So you solved the problem for me.
    Thanks a lot

    Hi Chetanya!
    I have an article here for you that can help you troubleshoot that issue and find your options. That article can be found right here:
    iOS: Wi-Fi settings grayed out or dim
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1559
    Seeing as you have already performed a restore, go ahead and perform the other troubleshooting steps, but unfortunately, the only option may be the one listed at the bottom of the page:

    If you are still unable to turn Wi-Fi on, please contact Apple for support and service options.
    Take care, and thanks for visiting the Apple Support Communities.

  • I have lost some of purchased movies on my iPad but are still in my iTunes, how do I get them back on the iPad?

    You have posted to the iTunes Match forum, which your question is not related to. You'll get better support responses by posting to the Using iPad forum: https://discussions.apple.com/community/ipad/using_ipad

  • The power went out and when it returned the network name and password was lost.  I can see the network in my connections and connect to it.  How do I get it back to the orginal name and password.  I have an HP laptop

    The power went out and when it returned the network name and password was lost.  I can see the network in my connections and connect to it.  How do I get it back to the orginal name and password? I have an HP laptop. 

    Chances are, there was a signficant power surge or voltage fluctuation just before the power went out. This type of thing can cause the AirPort Extreme to reset back to default settings.
    If this occurs, your only option is re-configure the device again, just as you did originally.
    In order to improve your chances this next time this happens, (especially if you live in an area where thunderstorms are severe), a good quality surge suppressor / voltage limiting power strip will really help, and may save you the entire device or a nearby computer next time something like this occurs.

  • I synced my phone to my computer. When updated with iOS7.0.2 I lost all my contacts, photos and music. I lost everything? How can i get them back? Is there any backup?

    I synced my phone to my computer. When updated with iOS7.0.2 I lost all my contacts, photos and music. I lost everything? How can i get them back? Is there any backup?

    Everything should be on your computer.
    You should be syncing contacts and calendars with your comptuer regularly.
    You should be transferring all itunes purchases to your computer regularly.
    You should be importing all pics taken with iphone to your computer regularly.
    Most especially before any update.
    Have you failed to do this?

  • HT201272 I have lost my audiobooks, how do I get them back?

    I have lost my audiobooks, how do I get them back?

    From your backup copy of your computer.
    Your audiobooks will only be where you put them.  It is your responsibility to back up your content.
    Audiobooks are a one time download.

    Did you create these notes in the iPad notes App ... I assume?
    This support article will explain how you can restore from a backup - which is what you have to do in order to have any chance of recovering your note.
    How to backup and restore from a backup
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
    But you have to remember, that you will lose any of the notes that you have taken since the date of the last backup. If you synced your iPad last week, then you will lose a whole week of current notes - or whatever notes you have created since your last backup. When you restore from a backup - you restore everything in that backup onto the iPad - that was on the iPad on the time and date of the backup.
    If you backup every day, then all of your notes should be recoverable from the backup - except for any notes that you took since you last backed up. There is no foolproof way to recover everything once you start taking more notes or creating new documents or whatever that you do in an app unless you are syncing those notes with iCloud and backing up all of the time or unless the app is set to sync with iCloud as you work on the files - like in Pages, Numbers or Keynote - Apple's iWorks apps.
    If you decide to restore from an iTunes backup you should turn off at sync before you try restoring because iTunes will want to backup your iPad right away when you plug it in and you will lose your old or last backup.

    Contact your carrier and the police. If it was lost in a specific building, ask the people running it.
