Messages keeps disconnecting - can't maintain GTalk / Yahoo connections

I've been using Messages with my GTalk and Yahoo accounts for a year or so. Recently, around the time I upgraded to Yosemite, I started having a difficult time getting messages to stay connected to my accounts. It frequently disconnects and stays disconnected even when I click "available" in the status dropdowns - then eventually (10 minutes?) it just reconnects. It does this many times throughout the day. All of my other networked apps seem fine - hipchat, skype, web browser, email, etc.
Any ideas what could be causing this?

Messages keeps disconnecting

Hi, I've been using Ichat forever using an AIM screenname, now I'm on ML DP4 and messages keeps kicking me out, sometimes impossible to sign in even though I'm on a very stable connection.
Mmm??

HI,
Does this come with any messages ?
Go to the iChat Preferences > Accounts section and In the Server Settings disable the SSL option
If you are logged in at the time you will have to Log out first.

Can't maintain a WiFi connection

Hi,
I am having trouble using my BTHomeHub2's WiFi connection on my mobile (HTC Desire).
When at home when I have turned on WiFi on my mobile and I can see my Hub's SSID in the available network's list, I can try to connect to it but it will not maintain a connection. It keeps disconnecting, connecting, disconnecting etc.
On my mobile I can connect to my work's WiFi connection without problem. It connects and stays connected. I have connected to my BTHomeHub2's WiFi connection with my laptop, which stays connected without issue.
I have entered and re-entered on my mobile all the necessary WiFi details correctly, checked them and rechecked them. They are all correct. I have tried restarting the Hub (it's never left on for a long period anyway, e.g. overnight). The indicator lights shine blue - the Wireless indicator is lit.
You may be thinking I should be asking my phone manufacturer/network provider about this, but since I can connect on my mobile to my work's WiFi without issue, connect via my laptop to the BTHomeHub2's WiFi connection without issue, the problem lies somewhere with the BTHomeHub and that my mobile can’t stay connected.
Has anyone else had a similar problem? If you have any ideas please let me know.
Thanks

welcome to the forum
have you tried going into the hub and change the wireless from defauly b/g/n to just b/g as Desire is not 'n' rated.
you can also try removing the desire for the devices shown in the hub and then try to reconnect the desire

Fed up - can't maintain a decent connection

Struggle to connect, keep losing connection, call up helpline, switch channel,re-set hub 3....problem is I had a good consistent connection with BT Voyager for 5/6yrs now have infinity and taken a step backwards. Everytime I ring up they change channels which fix it for couple of hours then it fails again. Got a Wii which doesn't seem to like this new hub. Can I switch back to my faster, reliable BT Voyager??

:/ I also have a HH3 and have just let it sort its self out with the wireless channels (Plugged it in and it worked)
The channel is Set to Auto (Smart Wireless)
The only think I changed from the out of the box settings was to disable "Wireless push button connection (WPS)"
As that always annoys me and some devices dont like it. (The Option is in the advanced wireless options of the hub)
Had no real issues with wireless at all with the HH3 (Compared to the old HH2)
Dont know if that will make a difference at all
I take it it is a wireless stability issue you are having?

ITunes 7.0 can not maintain a network connection, since upgrade

I am stuck in dial up country and recently upgraded to iTunes 7. Until then I was having no problems downloading songs (even though it took a while). Now I am getting an error saying the network connection was reset and to check settings and try again. When this happens I am still online so that is not the problem. I have tried shutting down and restarting, clearing my DNS cache maually, keeping another window open that is connected to internet and closing everthing but iTunes. I also have run the network diagnostics in iTunes and received the following information when the iTunes store connection status failed -Network Connection Information
Active Connection: MSN
Connected: Yes
Online: Yes
Using Modem: Yes
Using LAN: No
Using Proxy: No
Firewall Information
Windows Firewall is off.
McAfee Personal Firewall is installed.
Connection attempt to Apple web site was unsuccessful.
The network connection timed out.
Connection attempt to iTunes Store was successful.
Secure connection attempt to iTunes Store was unsuccessful.
The network connection timed out.
I have purchased a season pass to a tv show and a entire album and neither will download. Please help me!! Thanks!

Ive downloaded the Quicktime installation and so far got quite excited in the hope that this would at least help recover the new iTunes. But alas, iTunes now fails to install at all and an error message reads:
"Quicktime was not installed properly, please re-install Quicktime and try again"
I therefore re-installed the Quicktime application repeatedly with limited success with the same error messaging reappearing on each ocassion. It's starting to verge on the point of frustration now as every attempt I make at installing iTunes ends in failure.
I don't want to give up as I have new tracks that I'm desperate to upload to my iPod which I've not been able to.

How can I maintain a single connection between Forms 9i and JNI?

I am creating a JNI interface into a legacy application written in Pro C. Currently this legacy system is accessed from Forms 6i through userexits. Under this setup the Pro C application is able to share the connection to the DB established by forms. I want to mimic this functionality over the web using JNI as the link between my web components and the legacy application.
ie. I want to share the DB connection established by my web components with my Pro C application.
Thus far I have been unable to find any documentation on how to do this.
Any ideas would be very helpful.
Information about how Oracle Forms shares its connection with userexits would also be helpful.

The Pro*C application is linked in to Forms, and runs in the same process space, which is how the session is shared.
You can't share the Forms session outside of Forms. So it's not possible to do what you want.

Robin Zimmermann

Lion to 10.7.2. - can't maintain an internet connection

I just bought a new iMac and immediately updated to the latest Lion OS (10.7.2). I connected to the internet fine initially but after a few hours of use the connection continually dropping every few seconds when I go to a new URL. It's happening with my Mail and iTunes as well. I am connected via ethernet so it's not a WiFi issue. I have to reload the pages once or twice to get them to load. Does anyone have a fix for this issue?

Hello Emma I presume your in the UK.
In the UK PPPoA is the standard PPPoE is not supported by many ISP's.
On your Mac just use DHCP in your Network settings. Do not use PPPoE.
Then login to your router's web configuration page. http://192.168.0.1 or http://192.168.1.1. Admin and Password are the usual login details for netgear routers.
use the following details
PPPoA
VC-Mux
Chap authentication
vpi and vci are 38,0
and of course use your isp username and password.
Post edited. I just noticed you had already figured out the correct details.

HOW CAN I MAINTAIN AN INTERNET CONNECTION

Touchsmart 610 randomly "loses" internet connection. Refreshing several times on desktop restores it. Modem is good (been replaced); other pc's in house don't have the problem.

Hi:
What model wireless adapter do you have in your PC?
What operating system? and is it 32 or 64 bit?
Maybe a driver update will help.
If you have the Broadcom wireless card, try the latest driver for it.

What to do if wifi keeps disconnecting and safari does not load?

My wifi on my Mac desktop keeps disconnecting. When the internet is connected, Safari often "cannot connect to server" or "safari cannot load page" or page "failed to load". The wifi works on my iPhone and iPad, so I'm not sure why it doesn't work on the desktop. Is there anything simple I can do to fix this? Thank you.

Please test after taking each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Stop when the problem is resolved. Back up all data before making any changes.
Step 1
Take the applicable steps in this support article. The Wireless Diagnostics program generates a large file of information about your system, which would be used by Apple Engineering in case of a support incident. Don't post the contents here.
Be sure to test on more than one Wi-Fi network, if at all possible. A desktop computer can be tested with a mobile hotspot, such as the hotspot created by a cell phone. If the problem only exists on one network, then the access point of that network should be the focus of your attention, not the computer.
Step 2
Disconnect all USB 3 devices. If you don't know which are USB 3, disconnect all USB devices except keyboard and mouse.
Step 3
If you're not using a wireless keyboard or trackpad, disable Bluetooth by selecting Turn Bluetooth Off from the menu with the Bluetooth icon. If you don't have that menu, open the Bluetooth preference pane in System Preferences and check the box marked Show Bluetooth in menu bar. Test. If you find that Wi-Fi works better with Bluetooth disabled, you should use the 5 GHz Wi-Fi band. Your router may not support it; in that case, you need a new router.
Step 4
Open the Energy Saver pane in System Preferences and unlock the settings, if necessary. Select the Power Adapter tab, if there is one. Uncheck the box marked
Wake for Wi-Fi network access
if it's checked.
Step 5
Open the Network pane in System Preferences and make a note of your settings in the Wi-Fi service. It may be helpful to take screenshots of the various tabs in the preference pane. If the preference pane is locked, unlock it by clicking the padlock icon and entering your administrator password. Delete Wi-Fi from the service list on the left by selecting it and clicking the minus-sign button at the bottom. Then recreate the service by clicking the plus-sign button and following the prompts.
Step 6
In the Wi-Fi settings, select
Advanced... ▹ TCP/IP ▹ Configure IPv6: Link-local only
Click OK and then Apply.
Step 7
Reset the System Management Controller.
Step 8
Reset the PRAM.
Step 9
Launch the Keychain Access application. Search for and delete all AirPort network password items that refer to the network. Make a note of the password first. Turn Wi-Fi off and then back on. You'll be prompted for the password when you reconnect. Save it in the keychain.
Step 10
Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service center.

Message says: "can not get mail, the connection to the server failed" . Now I'm confused because all the mail shows up perfectly.

I just upgraded to the 5s. I have several mail accounts and I'm getting a message that says: "can not get mail, the connection to the server failed" . Now I'm confused because all the mail shows up perfectly.

Well it does it every time I go to mail and is driving me nuts. It never happened on my iPhone5, just on this 5s.

Hi
You need to maintain this partner field (Partner who receives the output-SystemidCLNT eg..D4JCLNT100) in the create PO output screen. and please maintain the message type in the transaction WE20 for your BP or LS and define the message type for your PO in SPRO.This should solve the problem

Yahoo keeps disconnecting on ichat on lion 10.7

I am trying to use yahoo on ichat and its been working fine for the past days but today it keeps disconnecting and i cannot use it. when i connect to yahoo thru Adium it owrks fine. any ideas?

HI
Ports 80 and 443 should be open in most routers anyway.
I cannot say I have seen a Table where there can be multiple Trigger Ports.
If you are using iChat 3 then it can be written this was.
Trigger 5678 (UDP only) as this is the Visible Invite and Start of A/V stuff
Incoming ports are then 5060 (if iChat 3) then the group (16384-16403 for iChat 3) 16393-16402 (Smaller group but inside the iChat 3 ones)
Text Chatting in AIM is on port 5190 TCP by default in iChat versions prior to 6 as is the Login.
If you Change the Login port (to 443) then the Text chat moves
File Sharing on AIM needs port 5190 on UDP
I would tend to heave the Login Port trigger the File Sharing port.
As you can set up the Jabber one the way you have I would not alter it.
As already stated I am not seeing this here in the UK (I get pushed to a UK Yahoo Server)
I am also using UPnP in my router.

I use Yahoo mail. Why do I sometimes get a message saying "Safari can't identify the website ca.mg5.mail.yahoo.ca ? When I click continue there is no problem.

How do I stop getting messages saying "Safari can't identify the website ca.mg5.mail.yahoo.com. The cerrtificate for this website is invalid " In fact there does not appear to be a problem because when I click "continue" everything proceeds as usual. But I would like to stop getting this message.

Back up all data.
Unlock the Network preference pane, if necessary, by clicking the lock icon in the lower left corner and entering your password. Cllck Advanced, open the DNS tab, and change the server addresses to the following:
8.8.8.8
8.8.4.4
That's Google DNS. Click OK, then Apply.
In Safari, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
and confirm. If you’re using another browser, empty the cache. Test. Any difference?
Notes:
1. If you lose Internet access after making the above change to your network settings, delete the Google servers in the Network preference pane, then select the TCP/IP tab and click Renew DHCP Lease. That should restore the original DNS settings; otherwise restore them yourself. Remember that you must clickApply in order for any changes to take effect.
2. I don't use Google DNS myself, though I have tested it, and I'm not recommending it or any other DNS provider; the server addresses are offered merely for testing purposes. There may be privacy and technical issues involved in using that service, which you should investigate personally before you decide whether to keep the settings. Other public DNS services exist.

I have a wireless network at home. I run my iphone and ipad on it with no problems. Just purchased a MacBook Pro, and now my wi-fi keeps disconnecting and i get an error message saying another device is using the same IP address. What does all this mean?
