My iChat suddenly stopped working...help!

I have not changed any passwords or settings and my iChat has always worked with gmail no problem. After a few minutes of attempting to connect, iChat says "could not connect to host google.talk.com". My computer is fully updated. I run on Mac OS X 10.5.8. My iChat is version 4.0.9. Also, I attempt to connect to Google Talk but then it says "Jabber could not connect". Do I need to make Jabber Account?

Hi,
If you have set up Google Talk in iChat then you have created a Jabber Account (and the message you are getting relates to that)
Google use Google Mail IDs with Talk enabled on their Account Settings and run this on a Jabber server to run their service.
Once you have a valid ID several apps can use it with iChat being one of those.
GO to the iChat Menu > Preference > Accounts
In your Google Account (highlight it) in the Server Settings it should read the server as being talk.google.com (Your Alert Messages seems to suggest it is)
The Port should be 5223 and SSL should be ON (turning the SSL Off will get the ort to change to 5222)
You can try this (Non SSL)
Also check the Chat option when you Log in to Google Mail Web page (It may be that their server for Chat is down)
If it still will not log in then whilst it is logged out change the port to 443 and Enable SSL again.

IChat suddenly stopped working

I'm on an iMac 2.8ghz Intel Duo running OS 10.4.10 connecting via Airport
After 2 years (on my iBook and then my new iMac) the iChat suddenly stopped working properly 2 days ago. It allows me to see the people in my buddy list but when I ring them for a video chat, they can't see my ringing to accept, and when they ring me, I can't see their invitation. Sometimes I can text them, but it's only worked a couple of times and then not for very long.
I thought perhaps there was something wrong with the program on my iMac, but it does the same thing on my laptop.
I called my ISP thinking it may be the modem. We reset the modem and made sure the firewall level was set to OFF, but still no difference.
I tried some of the suggestions I read here in the forum such as changing the Quicktime speed and making sure the bandwith limit was set to None, even downloaded the newest version of Flip4mac.
I'm totally baffled. I can log on, see my buddies and they see me, but we can no longer chat or IM.
Thanks for any input.

My TFT display suddenly stopped working HELP! G4 MDD DP1.25

Hi all...could use some pointers here. My formac 17" TFT display has suddenly stopped working on my MDD G4 DP1.25 - I use the standard graphics card. Turned the mac on today, and the display just wont turn on, though the silver light on the display flashes (as in standby) which means it's getting power. I also have a CRT display attached to the same card, and it's working as normal which I presume means that the graphics card is not dead. I tried booting from a different startup volume, same result. Any ideas please?? thanks!

no it doesn't support multiple inputs, it just has an on/off switch and is connected to the radeon 9000 pro graphics card (as shipped with the G4) via the ADC connector. Like I said, the VGA monitor that's hooked up to the same card works ok. And....weirder still, the Formac monitor has USB ports on the back, and although the monitor will no longer work (just the pulsing light on the front suggesting it's in stanbdy mode) the USB devices will still work when connected to the monitor - so this means either the card is half working or the monitor is half working!!! But I need to know which before I spend any $$$. Anyone got any ideas please? thanks!

My location service suddenly stopped working, Help !!!

Hi, suddenly my location service of my ipad3 stopped working. It was working good but now the location service in settings appears on a grey color and I can't manage the apps. Please help!

Try the following:
- A reset. Nothing is lost
Reset iPad: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPad.
If you still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order

Camera suddenly stopped working HELP

I have been editing with a Canon ZR-80 on my G-4 laptop. For no reason, that I can determine, the set-up stopped working today. I hooked everything up and when I opened FCP it said it was not seeing a device. I made sure the camera was in VCR mode, cable secure, on etc and everything was fine. I continued and tried to capture anyway. When I pressed play the camera started playing the video, but you couldn't see it on the log and capture screen. It just says, Device not available.
Please help!

update quicktime today?
if so ...
To do a full quicktime reinstall.
Go to /library/receipts and delete any files that say Quicktime followed by a number e.g. Quicktime703.pkg
Go to the Apple quicktime site and download the appropriate version of Quicktime to your hard drive.
Run the Quicktime installer.
Repair Disk Permissions for your System Disk (Disk Utility > Select the system disk > Repair Disk Permissions)
Reboot
Good luck.

AEBS suddenly stopped working -- help?

I've had this AEBS for just over a year, and it's worked just fine up through last night. This morning, though, it stopped connecting, though the "fan" in my menu bar showed four bars. I thought it was a problem with my DSL, but the telephone repairman gave the DSL a clean slate of health and showed me that connecting directly to the DSL router with Ethernet was working fine. He did repair the problem I was having with my phones, though.
I haven't added any new "devices" (microwaves, cordless phones, etc.) that weren't here yesterday, nor have I changed any settings. I suppose something could have gone haywire and changed on its own, but that doesn't seem too likely.
I've been given a brand-new DSL modem (it didn't make any difference), and I've restarted my AEBS, all to no avail. If it helps, I use 128-bit WEP with a password. If there's other information you need, just let me know.
So now my MacBook is connected with a wire, but that takes away the advantage of having a laptop. Can anyone point me in the right direction to fix this problem? Thanks!

The same thing happens to me when I do a security update. Check out this thread:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=225328&threadrate=1&messageid= 1125560#1125560
It might be your keychain. When I logoff or shutdown, I'll see a popup message: Confirm Application Change
If I "Change All" then the next time I log in, I can connect to the Air Port. Anyway, check out the thread and see if it helps.

My flashplayer has suddenly stopped working, help!

Hey guys, I am having the same problem with my Flash player! 2 days ago, I was playing Candy crush on FB and everything was fine! Last night I logged in and tried to play and it said I needed to upgrade my Flash Player! I looked in my control panel (add/remove programs) and Adobe Flash player 12 active X is listed and well as the plugin and they are both enabled in IE and FireFox! Went to Adobe.com to try to re-install and as I click on Install now, it just takes me to the Adobe.com homepage! I am running Windows XP. I have, of course, noticed I can not watch alot of my videos, etc. I did the Adobe Flash player CHECK and it says that it is not installed at all.... I of course, did nothing to the computer, ie.. install new programs or delete or anything of the sort, it is just so weird, it just stopped running all together! Help Please!!!

Internal Microphone suddenly stopped working, help please.

That is my problem. I have updated my driver, restored my computer to a time where my mic worked. It was working earlier today, then when I restarted my laptop, I had the legendary Toshiba startup issue. Once I got that figured out and got back onto my computer, I got bluescreened. Eventually I fixed my computer, with this last remaining issue. I've never had issues with my internal microphone.
It's not muted, it's enabled. How can I plug it in when it's an internal microphone? I'm very frustrated. Someone help me. I've been searching for a way to fix it for two hours and I haven't come up with a single solution that's solved the problem.

First check System Preferences/Sound - check all the settings to make sure mute is not selected.
Repair permissions & restart.
Troubleshooting issues with no audio from built-in speakers on Macs
Open up GarageBand if installed then, open a program (optional).
Quit out of the GarageBand app.

Ichat suddenly stops working

When I talk on ichat, I talk for a little while. Then, after a while of chatting, I will type something to someone. I receive no answer from them. Then ichat logs off and says error. I ask that person later if they responded to my instant messages and they said that they did respond. Does anyone know how to fix this or know what's going on? Thank you.

MacBook 2008 wifi suddenly stopped working and says no wifi hardware. Took it to an apple shop, they said it could be the airport card but wouldn't do anymore then that. Any help on how to fix this? How do I know if it is the airport card or not?

Any help on how to fix this? How do I know if it is the airport card or not?
is there anything else I can try first?
thanks

If the technician at the shop is competent, he has given you a diagnosis that should have identified the problem. You could run the Apple Hardware Test to verify the findings:
https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201257
Note the Apple Hardware Test is not definitive.
Go to the iFixit.com and Powerbookmedic.com web sites. They have parts and installation instructions. To install an Airport card is fairly easy.

Hi, my ipad mini has suddenly stopped working and I cannot turn it off or connect it to the computer, can anyone help me on this??

Try this - Reset 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. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

The sound on my ipad 3 suddenly stopped working i dont know why i tried the last two days to fix it and also restored it and the sound never came back, please help.....

the sound on my ipad 3 suddenly stopped working i dont know why i tried the last two days to fix it and also restored it and the sound never came back, please help.....

Do you get sound on any apps e.g. Music and Videos but not others ? If you do then have you got notifications muted ? Only notifications (including games) get muted, so the Music and Videos apps, and headphones, still get sound.
Depending on what you've got Settings > General > Use Side Switch To set to (mute or rotation lock), then you can mute notifications by the switch on the right hand side of the iPad, or via the taskbar : double-click the home button; slide from the left; and it's the icon far left; press home again to exit the taskbar. The function that isn't on the side switch is set via the taskbar instead : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4085

HT203175 While trying to use my iTunes library it will suddenly stop working with the erro message Runtime error R6025 pure virtual function call. HELP!!!

While trying to use my iTunes library it will suddenly stop working with the error message Runtime error R6025 pure virtual function call.
Help???

Just responded to this in another thread (note we used Captivate 7 so it might be a different error).
We found that when we created files with embedded swf files that existed ABOVE widgets in the timeline, when someone else tried to open our file it broke/we got the runtime error. The original person could still open it for a time, but eventually the cache would clear and they couldn't.
However, if we ensured swf files are BELOW widgets in the source files, it didn't break. In fact, if we found one that was breaking and got the author to move the swf file on the timeline, it would start working for others.
STRANGE! Let me know if this works for you to!
