Why can't I log in?  Password is new.

What is it that you cannot login to?  Do you own a Mac?  If so, it might be you need to enter your Mac login information.

  • Why can't I log into iChat

    I am new to iChat.
    When I log in, I get an AIM window. I don't understand why I get an AOL window when I am in iChat...it is very confusing.  When I try to make myself available in my AIM window, it asks me to log into my mac.com account (my login ID is already put into that field).  When I enter my password, it gives me an error message saying either my user name or password is incorrect.  I tried entering it a number of times but it didn't work.  So I went throught the process of resetting my password.  Once it was reset, I tried to log in again but I keep getting the same error message.  My questions are:
    1. Why can't I log in?
    2. Why, if I am using iChat, are all of these references to AOL?
    3. In my Status command in the iChat menu, it shows I am available. Available for what?  My AIM window is saying I am offline.
    4. In the Accounts command in the iChat menu, it shows me as logged into Bonjour and then my email address twice.  Right below that it gives me the option to log into my email address.  Right above that it is telling me I am already logged in.
    This is all so confusing.  I use Skype and find it simple.  I use a number of IM apps and find them simple.  I can't figure out iChat.

    Hi,
    If you have Opened iChat for the First time then you will have filled in a Account/Screen Name.
    This should have Logged in to the server.
    If it didn't, you should have got a message about either the Name or the Password being "wrong"
    This may leave you without the Buddy List showing.
    In this case go to the iChat Menu (That's the one that drops down where the word iChat appears in the Menu bar)
    Go to Preferences and chose Accounts.
    Highlight the Screen Name on the left.
    Now on the right make sure Account Info is the tab that is highlighted.
    Tick/Select the box that says "Use this Account"
    This should make th Buddy List at least start to appear. It will just be the header part and will say the word "Connecting..."
    If this does not work, and you get another message about the Password or name then go to the Server Settings tab in the Accounts part of the Preferences.
    Change the default port (5190) to 443.
    Reselect Use this Account in the Account Info tab again.
    Most routers have the ports from the beginning to port 1024 Open by default.
    Web Browsing and mail Ports are this low.
    ( I am presuming you have looked and sorted the Mac Firewall)
    If you now have  Buddy List you have logged in.
    You can now Add Buddies.
    (this presumes you have sorted any issue with the Password being too long).
    If you are now logged in you can Text chat as well even if you have no Buddies in the Buddy List.
    You can use the File Menu > New Chat option if you at least know a AIM name or one that is a Valid AIM Login name.
    The chances are though that you will not be able to File Transfer, Audio Only Chat or Video chat.
    This is because at present we have only moved the Login port to lower than the threshold of blocked ports in your Router.
    The other ports iChat uses will need to be Opened.
    At this point it may pay to tell me the make and model of the Router so It Can suggest steps to take.
    Also what do you know about setting up your routers for Games or applications that use Ports above 1024 ?
    NOTES:-
    Having an open Buddy List and using the red Button top left will close the Window but not Quit iChat
    To get the Buddy List Back go to th Window Menu in iChat and either select your Screen Name (Or AIM Buddy List) or use the Key Strokes listed (Normally Apple/CMD ( or ⌘) and the 2 key together).
    Using the red button on any Chat Window (Text, Group, Audio Only or Video Chat) will end the Chat and close the Window.

  • Why can't I log into WiFI?

    Why can't I log into WiFi with my Ipad Air all of a sudden?
    WiFi is turned on.
    Under settings ... it shows the network Im trying to log into ... and in the column   to the right where it lists the various networks, it shows the network i want and a little wheel thingie spinning beside it ... but it just keeps spinning ... so it looks like my Ipad had found the network ok, but wont log in.
    Any thoughts?
    Under HTTP proxy ... ive got it set to auto ... is this correct?
    Everything worked fine until today so maybe Ive altered some setting without realizing it.

    Try this:
    1. Turn router off for 30 seconds and on again
    2. Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
    3. Reset iPad; hold the Sleep and Home button down until you see the Apple Logo

  • Why can't I log in to Safari? Why doesn't my grid appear anymore?

    Why can't I log into safari? Why doesn't my grid appear anymore?

    Here are some suggestions for getting the best results from this site.
    Create a user profile that accurately reflects the type of hardware you're using and your version of OS X, or include that information in your first message.
    Give details of the problem. A remark such as "I think I have a virus," or "How do I reinstall," or "X doesn't work" conveys no useful information. If X did work, you wouldn't be here. Instead, you should post something like this: "I did A; I was expecting B; but I got C instead." Include the complete, verbatim text of any error messages you saw, and specify where you saw them: in an application window, a CrashReporter window, a log, or whatever.
    Also describe the steps you’ve taken yourself, if any, to try to resolve the issue. If the problem is of recent origin, did you make any changes to your setup just before you first noticed it? Is the problem reproducible or intermittent? That is, does it always manifest itself when you take a certain action, or only at unpredictable times?
    Before posting, ask yourself whether it’s likely that you are the the only person ever to have had this problem. If not, search the discussions for answered questions similar to yours. If you found any pertinent information, but it didn't help, give details.
