My iChat 3.1.8 is not recognizing any online buddies

I have been using iChat for several years but in the last couple of days it has not been working. It will not acknowledge any of my online buddies. I have two macs in the house which both have ichat installed on them and both have worked up until recently. Now I don't see either on ichat from the other when I know that both are connected and iChat is open and online on both. Has anyone else been experienced this problem?

Hi,
Several people seem to be highlighting problems with their Buddy List for AIM not showing Buddies or not adding Buddies at odd times.
This seems to be a AIM server problem.
If you have not already done so move the login port in iChat > Preferences > Accounts > Server Setting tab to 443 (from 5190) as this may improve things. You have to be Logged out of AIM to do this.

    I have an external firewire burner; it never shows on the desktop unless I insert a CD or DVD - that icon will then show (if I have my preferences set to show those on the desktop). Hae you checked in Disk Utility (Applications > Utilities) to see if it is listed under drives?

  • New Macbook pro suddently can not watch any online video or movie

    I just bought a new 13" Macbook pro 4 days ago, the first day everything work well (include watching online movie or video), yesterday, I suddenly found I can not watch online movie or video anymore, the symptom is: I can open any website with online video, but the video area is BLACK, i tried many different website, they are all the same, can not watch any online video.
    then I call apple phone support, i was told press Commandoption+PR, after that, it works again. but today the same problem happened again!!! I know I can still use the same way to fix the problem. but I do really want to know, what's the reason? is my NEW Mac has problem? is the problem big or not? should i return or exchange it? I hope someone could help me and answer my questions.
    Anyway, right now i am very disappointed and frustrate, don't know what to do, I am a student, buy a mac is not a little money for me!
    Thanks for everybody! sorry for my poor english!

  • USB Issue - Not recognizing ANY device

    I am having a problem with my USB ports.
    First of all, I have a IBM Thinkpad T42 - model number 2373-9XU.
    I have the latest BIOS and all the latest drivers for the USB ports.
    The issue just started a couple days ago.  Whenever I plug in a USB device, such as my IPod or my Smartphone, it is NOT recognized by my computer.  However, any device that I plug into the USB port will start charging.  So, I know there is power to the USB ports. 
    I have uninstalled the USB drivers and reinstalled them, still having the same issue. 
    Also another note, I was looking through the device manager under System Devices and there was a yellow exclamation point next to "ISAPNP Read Data Port".  The error code on it was "This device cannot start. (Code 10)"
    Any suggestions?
    PS.  I have tried to reinstall the BIOS, but when I do that it says "No update is needed at this time" and won't let me install it.  Is there a workaround to that?

    So, I looked at the Services information on the Recover and Restore startup utility (pushing the AccessIBM button during startup) and found the following:
    Service: upnphost
    Name: Universal Plug and Play Device Host
    Status: Stopped
       (Previous Status: Running)
    Startup: Manual/On-Demand)
    Path: c:\windows\system32\svchost.exe
    Vendor: Microsoft Corporation
    Version: 5.1.2600.2180
        (xpsp_sp2_rtm.040803-2158)
    Could this also have something to do with the USB ports not working properly?

  • ITunes not recognizing any of my devices

    Hello - about 2 hours ago my iTunes (10.7) running on a Mac w/ 10.8.2 stopped recognizing my devices (iPhone 4S w/ iOS 6), Ipad (gen 1) and Apple TV (3 gen). I reset my apple tv, turned on/off Home sharing (all devices are indicating they have the right Apple ID),turned off wifi and shut down everything. Not sure what else I can do. I even tried to connect my Remote app again to either itunes or apple tv, but it could not find either. What to do... what to do

  • Desperate...Premiere not recognizing any video

    Hi everyone!  I'm obviously very desperate if I'm posting to a forum for help. 
    The problem is my clips won't show in the timeline. When I drag and drop the video file, every single thing I've read online states that it should AUTOMATICALLY separate my video into clips for editing, and an audio track. It should read "Video 1", "Video 2," "Audio 1", etc. In the default setting, before a video is added to the timeline, it reads "Narration" and "Soundtrack." But, as I said, when I drag and drop a video it is supposed to automatically change. Even YouTube tutorials have shown this.
    Well...mine doesn't.
    When I drag and drop a video, not only does it NOT separate the video and audio, but it doesn't even separate it into clips. The words "Narration" and "Soundtrack" remain on the left side, where it's supposed to read "video" and "audio." So it's as if the program is not recognizing my video file.
    Fine, so I tried another video file. One of those sample ones that were already on the computer. No dice, it still did the same thing.
    So I'm at an impasse. No help sites or anything I've found have addressed the problem of the program just NOT WORKING like it's supposed to! And I know exactly what it's supposed to look like, because it's not that dissimilar from Windows Movie Maker which I have used before.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    It's not from a camcorder, it's an .avi file directly from my hard drive.  Saved on my desktop, no less.
    Two things here:
    AVI is but a wrapper, and so very much can be inside that wrapper. See this ARTICLE for some background, and also tips on how to peek inside that wrapper.
    Second, I would not use the Desktop for your Assets. It is basically a special folder and one with special properties. Often, PrE (and many other programs) will have difficulty accessing the Desktop folder, due to those special properties. Just create a New Folder (or use the My Documents>My Video folder), and Move your AVI file(s) to that. This should be done, with PrE closed. When you Open that Project back up, PrE will ask you, "Where is file _____.avi?" From the Finder, just navigate to that New Folder, or to the My Videos folder, and choose that "missing" file.
    This might also be a good point to talk a bit about what a Project file (PREL file) really is. This ARTICLE will give you some background. It will also explain why PrE asked "Where is file ____.avi?" once you Moved it.
    Good luck, and for a very good starter set of articles, I strongly recommend Steve Grisetti's Basic Training Series at Muvipix. To go beyond those articles, he has some great books on PrE, also at Muvipix.
    Good luck,
    Hunt

  • ITunes 12 not recognizing any attached devices

    I have installed uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes 12 about 3 times.  It will not recognize any of my devices, iphone, ipod, ipad, etc.  My PC is running Windows 8 and it is seeing the usb connections each time I attach a device.  iTunes does not see them.  I ran the diagnostic and it stated that no devices are connected.   I tried reverting to a previous version, but the update changed my library which the older version will not recognize.  Has anyone found a solution?

    HI RAM0402,
    I see that you are having some issues with iTunes identifying your iOS devices. Here is an article that will outline some further troubleshooting steps that you can take to address this issue:

  • HP Photosmart Plus B209a-m not recognizing any USB drive

    When I go to scan to my USB, the USB drive is not recognized as a USB drive. I am using wireless, which works fine.  Is there a trick to scanning to a USB?

    Hi , Perhaps the USB drive you are using is too large, I believe with a memory card, anything higher than 2 gb is too large, I wonder if the USB drive is the same. I will look into the possibility. In the meantime, Have you tried an alternate USB drive? Let's perform a hard reset. To do so, leave the printer on and unplug the power cable for 1 minute. While it is unplugged, hold down the power button on the printer for 10-15 seconds to release any built up power, then after the minute has passed, plug the printer back in. Also, do you have the printer connected directly to a wall outlet or is it in a surge protector or power bar? Even if you have been using a surge protector/power bar all this time and you feel it is not the cause, please connect it to a wall outlet just so we can eliminate the power source as the root cause.   Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector
    In this document you will see, ISSUE: Problems or issues may arise when an HP LaserJet series printer is connected to an uninterruptible power supply (UPS), a power strip, or a surge protector ^ This is not limited to Laserjet printers.  Please let me know if you are able to get the printer to scan to the USB memory device and we can continue from there.
     

  • Anyone have a problem with the HDMI port suddenly not recognizing any digital source imput signal?

    I have an HP 2711x monitor. 
    Anyone suddenly have a problem with it no longer recognizing any digital source input with the HDMI port (or DVI), yet the VGA port works fine?
    Thanks.

    I understand you are having issues with your HP 2711x Monitor not displaying HDMI or DVI inputs, yet it can display VGA inputs. Are these inputs all coming from the same device? Such as your computer? Does the computer's outputs show up on other devices via HDMI and DVI? If it works are you using the same cables? Are there any messages displayed on the monitors screen when you have the HDMI or DVI hooked up?
    Check to see if any of the documents below pertaining to the HP 2711x Monitor pertain to your issue:

  • Desktop not recognizing any web sites

    We just moved to a new apt and our router is working fine with the wireless internet, but the desktop can not find any web sites. it is an active connection since instant messenger is working on that computer. please help?

    A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.
