My iChat wont work at all!

what happens is the same thing that happens to everyone else it just keeps popping up with the log in log off windows and then says cant connect to your screenname. so i went on here to see what i could do which was change the port but when i did that nothing happened. so can you please help me???

Try this.
Shut down the Computer and restart it with No Internet Connection (this may mean turning off the Airport Card before you do the Shut Down.)
It will not matter which end any Ethernet cable is unplugged (modem or computer whichever is easiest to reach)
When the computer has restarted with no Internet then Restart iChat (it will protest there is no Internet Connection.
Restart Airport Card or Plug in Ethernet cable.
Make iChat Login from the iChat Menu.

  • Ichat wont work at all

    Hello, and I thank you for taking your time for reading this, if you are here to answer thank you, if you are here to just look at the answer, your at the right place.
    So here is the problem, ok, my problem is that when i start my ichat with my friend( she has a pc, and aim 6.0), it says "there was a communication error during your ichat." I have no clue what to do. I tried asking some friends that are pretty good with Macs, but they don't know the answer. I also tried ichat with my friend (he has a macbook) and it still doesn't work. If there is any mac genius out there, please help me out.
    And I know that this question has been answered, so if you can send me a link, or the answer, that would be great.
    -thanks again for reading,
    durianbanana
    p.s.-if you have any questions about specs on any of my stuff, let me know

  • The new itunes update will not install properly and now itunes wont work at all

    k, so I tried installing the new update for itunes and now it wont work at all. it says that the mobile device isnt installed. i have uninstalled and reinstalled itunes 4 times now.

    My issue is it wont even reinstall onto my computer
    Yes I'm aware of that. The procedures are also for trying in cases where iTunes can't be reinstalled due to a "Could not start Apple Mobile Device service" message.
    If you're getting a different error message relating to the Apple Mobile Device Service (or Apple Mobile Device Support) when you try to reinstall iTunes, post back to let us know what that error message says. (Precise text, please.)

    I updated itunes and everything but nothings working and i just can't figure it out?
    Everytime i restore the stupid thing, it never pops up in my itunes again like its supposed to!

    Loop
    Maybe:
    Restore loop (being prompted to restore again after a restore successfully completes)
    Troubleshoot your USB connection. If the issue persists, out-of-date or incorrectly configured third-party security software may be causing this issue. Please follow Troubleshooting security software issues. .
    Next try placing in DFU mode and then restoring.

    Then try restoring on another computer.
    Last, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • Adobe Flash Player wont work after all steps taken, what haven't I done to make it work?

    I tried to play a game I love & I got this message: "To view this page ensure that Adobe Flash Player version 10.0.0 or greater is installed" So I went to your site to update my flash player & hit the "Test Flash Player" button & it came up
    like this^^. I went to the suggestions your site provided & went to Manage add-ons to look for Shockwave Flash Object to enable it:
    You can see that it is enabled by this picture I have provided. So it also asks me to make sure that ActiveX isn't clicked on & so I did:
    As you can see it's turned off & I even tried it the other way where it has the spot checked & it still wont play. So I decided to see if I could reinstall it onto my computer & so in turn I got this message:
    That is the message I got even after trying to delete Flash Player & reinstalling it. Now you can see my frustration with all this. Adobe Flash Player wont work after all steps taken, what haven't I done to make it work? I have a Windows 8.1 Pro, I use Internet Explorer which has the latest version on it, which is Windows Explorer 11 Version: 11.0.9600.17498 & I was also under the understanding that I also had the latest version of Adobe Flash Player on this computer as well. Can someone tell me what to do??

    First, confirm that ActiveX Filtering is configured to allow Flash content:
    https://forums.adobe.com/thread/867968
    Internet Explorer 11 introduces a number of changes both to how the browser identifies itself to remote web servers, and to how it processes JavaScript intended to target behaviors specific to Internet Explorer. Unfortunately, this means that content on some sites will be broken until the content provider changes their site to conform to the new development approach required by modern versions of IE.
    You can try to work around these issues by using Compatibility View:

    If that is too inconvenient, using Google Chrome may be a preferable alternative.

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Drag and drop feature on the project panel doesnt work. Cant adjust scale or any numer properties by sliding mouse. (click drag wont work at all nowhere)

    This issue just happened out of the blue. The last thing I did was create a new comp and import an Illustrator file.  Working on CC2014. Its like the mouse's left click wont be working at all... but that's not the case.  Cant even drag the comps in the composition, or move the layers around....
    Now the issue affects everything I do in After Effects, even on a new comp with just a plain solid
    Deleted cache,
    reseted workspaces,
    open/close after effects
    restarted computer
    newcomp with just a solid and nothing.
    plugged unplugged wireless mouse
    changed to wired mouse
    the issue is still there
    Curiously, after writing this post , publishing, and going back to after effects, the mouse will work, but for a couple of clicks or so then wont work again. This only happens on After Effects

    You're Right
    Its an Gigabyte GA-Z68XP-UD4   with an i7 k2600 clocked to 4.2ghz   w 16gbRam at 1333mhz
    Dual GPU , gtx 760 and gtx 780ti
    Running Windows 7 ultimate.
    The keyboard is a Genius G110  plus a wireless mouse Genius also.
    Adobe guys tried resetting cache (different than deleting) and user preferences, creating new user, disabling both video cards . The issue was still there.
    BTW!, After I switched windows in Win7 environment ( from after effects to the browser)  the mouse drag worked again. I could move objects in comp window, scale; move sliders on time line and drag projects to folders in project window... everything fine until i pressed ANY key, say, shift key or ctrl key.
    Probably we will never have the answer for this, since i had to format the C drive  (i have work to do). Currently i'm installing CC again. So if problem persists, I'll ditch the computer through the window.

    sometimes the battery has to drain itself, have you dropped it or has it come it contact with any liquid if so then you have a problem but if not you might have to wait a day or two for the entire battery to drain it happended to me once it took that time for it to drain then it had to be recharged and reset but you should have nothing to worry about

  • Iphone wont work at all since upgrading to new version of itunes (10.2.1)

  • VIVO wont work AT ALL

    I must say i am rather irritated by the horrendous manual MSI provides on vivo.  I have looked online and found nothing.  I have installed the newest nvidia driver from http://www.nvidia.com  and also install their wdm capture ( vivo not tv).  I have then attempted to plug the connections in, in a fashion best described as guessing.  The MSI adapter is labeled with S/in V / In   S/out  V / out..  I assume that is svideo in  and video in ( composite).  My card ithe the vtd -256 5600.  Everything else works fine but CANNOT get either video in or out to work.  Ive tried pluggin a single composite v / in   then tried video  in v/in  v/out .. and also s/in and a v/o and other combinations.  I cannt get a picture at all. It detects NOTHING even with drivers installed.  Maybe I am doing it wrong, I am not sure.  I have tried all these combinations with rebooting the pc and leaving it in as well.  Can someoen PLEASE assist me on this. I am at my wits end on gettin this to work.  ALL I can say is the WDM drivers are installed. But nothing else from there...  THE Documentation on this is very poor.

    Since my computer ain't near my TV  I did this to test my TV-out
    I connected the S/IN with the S/OUT on the adapter.
    Then I went into the display properties "nView Display Mode"
    I choose nView Modes = clone
    Display Pair = Analog Display + TV
    And  "Apply" to make it happen.
    Then I started Window Movie Maker.
    Choosing the nVidia WDM Capture and Video input source = svideo
    Clicking next next next, Now I got a TV preview of my desktop.

  • MacBook wont work at all

    After upgrading to Yosemite, my MacBook air will not work at all. It was purchased In 2013 but is not the newer edition of that year. Everything freezes up it takes 5 minutes to put in my password to sign in and then if I click on anything it just has the spinning beach ball the whole time and I just end up pushing the power button until it shuts down and I can turn it back on and I have done this at least 20 times please help. my MacBook is useless now.

    Sounds like the hard drive has failed. You can take it to an Apple service center for diagnosis and repair or simply replace the hard drive yourself.
