Why can't I log into my ichat account through aim even if I know my password and my internet is fast?

I was talking to my friend through ichat then I went to get breakfast when I came back my internet disconnected after I fixed it, my ichat would not work and wouldn't let me log in.

Hi,
What have you tried so far ?
Is this an @mac.com or MobileMe name (They are valid AIM Screen Names as well) ?
Have you been asked to changed your Password over the weekend ?
Did you make it longer that 16 characters ?
I take it you seem to have the Internet back ?
Have you tried Quitting iChat and starting again ?  (iChat can be a bit like this if the Mac went to Sleep).
Have you tried restarting the Mac ?

  • Why can't I log into my Adobe account?

    Every time I try to log into my Adobe account the little wheel spins and spins.  Right now it's been spinning for 10 minutes.  The log-in email and password are correct and I get no notice that the user name or password are incorrect.  I have to change the password every time I log in.  And why do I need to log in to download Camera Raw 8.2 anyway?
    Thank you,
    BAB

    That's why I ask users to try other browsers. We want to isolate the problem. That puts your OS, Internet connection and Adobe's web servers in the clear. It also allows you to log in to Adobe until either the problem clears up or until you check FireFox's support forums for best troubleshooting practices.
    Firefox has been updated to 24.0 for Mac and Windows today. I don't know if that's done anything, but I'm not having problems logging into Adobe here.
    Off hand I can't tell you what's wrong and I don't want to tell you do anything to FireFox if I don't know.

  • Why can't I log into my iTunes account, Unknown error occurred (-54)

    Recently I had my Macbook pro reformatted back to factory conditions. After downloading all the software updates I tried to log into the iTunes store, but everytime I get the message " We could not complete your iTunes Store request. An Unknown error occurred (-54)"
    I am able to connect to the iTunes store itself and look around and preview songs. but I can't log in to my account. I have the latest version of iTunes, and I haven't altered any settings in iTunes, so I'm confused as to why I am receiving this error message.
    The other discussions and trouble shooting pages referencing the error (-54) seem to all talk about ipod sync issues or not being able to access the store in general. So if anyone has any further insight as to why I'm receiveing it, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you.

    I found the solution to this on another forum. I was able to fix this by manually disabling the firewall on my mac.   From the command line:
    sudo ipfw disable firewall
    Match will then run fine until I do the corresponding enable or restart the computer.
    I don't understand enough about the internals of the mac to know why changing this using the Terminal is more effective than simply disabling the firewall from settings, but it is. If you run this command line, it will make the -54 error go away.

  • Why can't I log into my Apple account on my iPhone?

    I am having trouble logging into the App Store or iTunes on my iPhone 4s.  Last week I could update my apps but now I keep getting the message:  Can not sign in.  Unknown error has occured. What do I need to do on my phone to correct this?

    I tried that.  I also tried the troubleshooting methods; making sure my Wi-Fi was in range, etc.  I still get the constant error, Can Not Sign in to ITunes, and error has occurred.  I don't want to reset my whole phone because I have too many contacts and other items that would be lost on my phone. 
    It was just fine a few days ago but now I keep getting the same error message every time I want to upload an app or update an app.
    I think I may have to take it to an Apple Store to talk to one of the techs there because nothing is working.

  • Why can't i log into my gmail account from my New iPad

    My iPhone and Mac Book will both allow me to log in, but with the New iPad Google does not seem to recognize my user name and/or password.

    Of you can set up a gmail account as an Exchange account.  I have found that this works better for me for my gmail account.  You set up Google Sync which has the added bonus of keeping all your contacts on Google's servers so they are never lost.  Lose your phone or get a new one that supports Google Sync and you automatically get your address book back.
    http://support.google.com/mobile/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=138740
    There is a limitation on this with the address book though. For some reason you can't create custom telephone or address ID's on Gmail and then have them transfer to your Address book.  Most of my contacts have multiple phone lines, my wife for example has two work telephone numbers that I need to keep track of and I am stuck with them both being labled work rathern than being able to identify which is which. This is an annoyance but not big enough for me to take the time to move all of my contacts into the address book on my phone and risk losing them if I were to lose my phone.

  • Why can't I log into my sidereel account

    I've asked for help about this issue a couple of weeks ago already.
    I have an account with sidereel. I never had problems and everything was working fine. Suddenly I can't access my account.
    I keep coming back in the screen where I need to sign up or login instead of my profile.
    In other browsers this works fine. And the error isn't related to sidereel.

    I found the answer that works for me. (This information was not on Apple's website for troubleshooting this problem.)
    In Safari, (I use Firefox only) cookies must be enabled.  I never knew there was a connection between iTunes and Safari until now.

  • Why can I not log into my photobucket account?!?!?!

    I go to log in and it gives me the error message that the password or email is incorrect. So I click the "forgot password", type in my email and NO RESPONSE is emailed. How do I access my acount?!?!?!

    see your capslock and numlock status, if not that problem, check if there is any key stuckin' there(not correctly jump up), and try an alternative web browser, I.E. 7/8/9, google chrome 10.x, to see if it the problem of firefox. if firefox 4 don't help, try firefox 3.6.16.

    i can no longer log into my ichat linked to my gmail.  right after opening up ichat, receive the following message:  lost connection with jabber.  the server has unexpectedly disconnected.  how to troubleshoot?  thanks.

    Hi,
    There can be many reasons why the Login is "up the creek".
    Any break in the network at your end whilst logged in will cause  an issue.
    A sort of discrepancy between what iChat thinks the state should be and what the server thinks.
    If they don't agree the server will refuse to accept.
    A Crash at the server end which does not log you out properly will also do it.
    Any file at any time can be come corrupted.
    Luckily with the iChat .plists they are recreated if removed with an iChat Restart.
    If it were AIM you can also get your Account Suspended  and this will not log you in.
    (It tends to happen from Chat rooms where people notify AIM about bad behaviour (as they see it) and you have to apply to get Un-suspended).
    Most of the big IM services use multiple servers.
    Sometimes these go out of Sync.
    In the case of AIM this happens when they remove Old unused Screen Names from people's Buddy List prior to making them available for re-registration.  I am not sure if this happens at Google.
    You seem to be talking about an account that has worked at Work and having new computer at home.
    As I mentioned the Priority thing you have not said that it has coincided with the new computer logging in  (this will kick the work Computer out of Google whether you are logged in  on the Web Mail page or in iChat)
    IN addition to that iChat stays partially logged in for Off Line IMs
    This is done in the background by a support app called iChatAgent
    If your Computer is ON but ichat is not started people can still send you Messages.
    Instead of saving these on the server until you login iChat will start up.
    Depending if the home Mac is effecting the Work Login it may be holding sway over your Login.
    Using your girlfriend's login may have booted her Off Line where she normally uses the name/login.
    The AIM Side can be specifically set to allow Multiple Logins and therefore NOT allow them.  If this happens you get a warning and messages to do something about it.
    You do not get these in any Jabber or Google Login as the Priority setting is supposed to take care of it.
    If the Login works at the Web Mail Login and on one computer then the .plist on the work computer is the most likely issue.
    There is a small chance that a Corrupt Buddy Pic (Home Folder/Library/Caches/com.apple.iChat/Pictures) may be the cause.
    Set this folder to icon view and also use the Finder's View Menu > Show View Options and select icon view.
    This should show all pics as their icon.
    Check that all display properly.
    At this point I would try a COMBO version update install of the last Update you did over what you have.
    This often corrects hard to trace things
    The 10.5.8 COMBO is here

  • 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
