MSN, Yahoo and iChat Messenger services don't work...

I have no idea what I may have done to deserve this, but not too long ago, as the subject line says, all three IM services I use stopped working with any degree of consistency: MSN, once in a while (strangely enough mostly in the mornings, but rarely ever in the evenings); iChat, less than MSN; Yahoo, never. I get different messages also. iChat tells me that I "Could not connect to AIM" because "The connection to the host was unexpectedly lost." Yahoo, that "the servers may be undergoing maintenance." MSN, that my password is incorrect or sign-in name doesn't exist, or that the service is unavailable.
Safari and Firefox work fine, as does file-sharing. I've run disk-utility numerous times and everything there is now fine. What else could be going on?

At this point I think you should get Applejack...

After installing, boot holding down CMD+s, then when the prompt shows, type in...
applejack AUTO
Then let it do all 5 of it's things.
If it doesn't fix it, at least it will eliminate some things.

    Hi and welcome to the community! Since you're new please be sure that you have checked out our Discussion guidelines.
    Unfortunately it's not possible to do this without installing any 3rd party software. I know that Truecaller has this function if you want to use a 3rd party app.

  • HT201412 My i Pad 3 shows "cannot Access Find My Friends open the app and review your sign in information to continue sharing your location. And I have two buttons : Later and Open but they don't work, As long as I have this situation I can do nothing on

    My i Pad 3 shows "cannot Access Find My Friends open the app and review your sign in information to continue sharing your location. And I have two buttons : Later and Open but they don't work. As long as I have this screen situation, I cann't do anything on my I Pad. Please help !!

    I have the same problem on my iPhone4. It is obviously a bug in the software. Once it pops out I am locked out of my phone. I can't even begin to describe the frustration this causes. All that stuff about holding down the buttons is useless. the phone won't even shut off. I can take a screen shot like that or go to voice control. Even when I got to a wifi connection, I can't get on. This app blocks everything else. This is a serious bug and can have serious consequences. The only thing my phone would do is go to voice control and let me play iTunes or phone people. Some smart phone hey?
    I have finally got to a place with a wide enough wifi to connect my computer and restore the phone. This has lasted over a day!
    I don't even know why Find My Friends is on my phone. Is it part of the package and how do I turn it off?

  • I just opened my new earphones and the volume buttons don't work! Help

    I just used my iPhone 5s earphones the first time yesterday and the volume buttons don't work. I tried unplugging them and then plugging them in again and they still don't work. Also when I plug in any kind of earphones in my phone it doesn't completely go in, is that supposed to happen?

    Never mind, I found out why it didn't work. Since my phone and earphones were new the earphones didn't plug in well. So when I plugged it into my mac it went all the way in and the buttons worked. When I plugged it back in my phone it went al the way in this time and the buttons worked.

  • Ok I have an fully upgraded iPad 2 and the volume button don't work but it do with headphones can someone help

I try to go to settings and the volume won't go up there either I have the home button gesture and still the same. I try resting my iPad and nothing no sound work unless I have my headphones in. Do anybody know how to fix this

    Did you try rebooting the iPad? You will need to have some battery power for this.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

    My right and left arrow keys do not work, up and down arrows work fine.  I did not spill anything on or near my keyboard.  I don't recall adding any apps/software.  It is a late 2008 MacBook Pro running OS X10.9.1.  I am at a loss.  Please help.
    Thanks,

    Call 1-800-SOS-APPL. If it needs hardware repair, they will send you a box to ship it in for service. Turnaround time is usually just a few days.
    You might try an Archive and Install first to eliminate a software issue. Apple will have you do that anyway.

  • Location services don't work even though they are on

    My location services do not work even though they are switched on. When I ask Siri something that requires my location it tells me to turn on location services and Siri but they are already on.

    For location the iPod uses the location nearby wifi routers that are in Apple's data base. You do not have to be connect to the router.
    Thus, it appears that the router the iPod is using does not have the correct location in Apple's database. Apple continuously updates their database based on data it obtains from iPhones. No one has found a way to tell apple to correct/add a wifi router to their database.
    To test this, go to another location/another network like Starbucks and see if location work there

  • Z77A-GD65 - fast ram and Intel Rapid Start don't work together??

    Greetings.
    I have got 2x4Gbyte G.Skill CL10 2400Mhz ram. When running this ram at its default speed at 2400Mhz, Intel Rapid Start don't work. When I shut it down, it acts normal until the point where the system "wakes up" for a few seconds to write to the special partition for IRS. The PC then try to reboot, but after 2 attemps it says that the Overclocking has failed and I have the choise of F1 (setup) or F2 (load default settings and continue).
    If I lower the ram speed below the default speed (i.e. don't use the XMP profile), then Intel Rapid Start works fine.
    Memtest86 do not show any error at all after 4 pass with the G.Skill at 2400Mhz. To me it seems like the motherboard can't handle this speed at the state in Intel Rapid Start.
    Anybody with info about what to do?

    The internet is bloated with paid "reviews" ...
    Here is what you have and what you paid for:
    http://ark.intel.com/products/65520
    Max Memory Size (dependent on memory type) : 32 GB
    Memory Types : DDR3-1333/1600
    Memory Channels : 2
    Max Memory Bandwidth : 25.6 GB/s
    Intel does not guarantee anything above 1600MHz.
    On the top of that, 25.6 GB/s bandwidth is enough for DDR3-1600 in dual-channel only.
    In other words, above 1600Mhz the perfomances boost is close to ZERO.
    RAM speed over 1600Mhz does nothing? That WAS true, but not anymore. First of this:
    Anandtech:
    http://www.anandtech.com/show/6372/memory-performance-16gb-ddr31333-to-ddr32400-on-ivy-bridge-igp-with-gskill
    xbitlabs:
    http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/memory/display/ivy-bridge-ddr3.html
    overclock.net:
    http://www.overclock.net/t/1438222/battlefield-4-ram-memory-benchmark
    Second, I can messure a real performance difference when using this memory at 2400mhz vs 1600mhz, f.i. Winrar5.01 x64, when searching in reg.database, and other memoryhungry programs. My graphic-card is not powerfull enough to show any difference in games, but almost anything else I _can_ se a difference.
    If you honestly can read these 3 links and still say, that memory speed does not matter, I think I know more about this than you 
    I'm quite sure, that a big place like Anandtech is not payed to show up this result.

  • Quicktime and new Adobe flash don't work!!

    Ever since I have ? downloaded new iTunes/Quicktime updates I cannot get Quicktime to play any movie trailers. Also, when I go to any sites which need a Flash player, I am unable play any flash related videos. To add further frustration, I am unable to download the new Adobe flash player. It "downloads," but goes nowhere on my computer and is nonfunctional!! I feel like because I have an "old" Mac with Panther (which otherwise works great!), I am slowly being phased out of all the new downloads as they often either don't work or screw up my system. Help!!

    Hi again Stephen,
    That's great! I'm glad that that got you back on the track.
    I personally Repair Permissions about once a week or so (though the need to is highly debated here in Discussions).
    You might be interested in having a look at About Disk Utility's Repair Disk Permissions feature.
    Always Repair Permissions from Disk Utility on you HD before and after any Software Update/Upgrade for trouble free downloads.
    Glad I was able to help and thank-you for the courtesy of extending the Solved star!
    good luck,

  • Oracle 9i and 9i Developer Suite don't work together

    I've tried to install 9i and 9iDS in different homes. Then, I can work with SQL*Plus (of 9i) but all 9i DS's applications don't work at all. The main problem is that I can not connect to the Database of 9i.
    Is there any body know the solution? Pls help, this is the first time I use developer suite to study Form and Report.

    this tnsping was a great start. it allows the user to find another place to look for errors ora files.
    I was looking in every instance of my TNSnames.ora files. the one in the 9i as well as the 10g were alike and fine. I had to comment out some bad lines from the 10g ora file. the tnsping found the SQLnet.ora file that contained an error. in this case the error was the same line needed to be commented out.
    it is not that I forgot to do so but I didnt know that this line was even in any of the files.
    this tnsping works as a great trouble shooter.
    thanks...
