Why does the Messages app keeps asking me to locate iChat?
When opening Messages I'm prompted with a dialog window that says "where's ichat?", and is waiting for me to locate it in my Applications folder. Can anyone shed some light on why I'm getting this message? I thought Messages replaced iChat.
Hi,
Can you Screen Shot the Alert and post it here ?
CMD + Shift + 4 allows you to draw a box around what you want.
Hitting the space bar allows you to capture windows (alerts and other pop ups count) Then press enter.
You post by clicking the camera icon in the post mode screen and navigating to where the pic is (normally your Desktop)
It sounds like it might be the .plist is holding an item that is about an Add-on that in turn is looking for iChat.
Chax only goes as far as Snow Leopard so that one is unlikely.

Why does the store app keeps loading and doesn't work ?
why does the store app keeps loading and doesn't work ?
Hi Peter,
In order to analyze your issue better, we need more detailed information.
Did you mean when you launch the Windows store app, the app can't start? Was there any prompt message or error code? Did this issue occur on all Windows Store app or specific one?
Try the method in this blog:

Hi,
I have barely any space left on my phone. ios7 messaging app takes so much space. How can I stop this?Your phone needs more storage, buying storage on iCloud.com doesn't change that.

On some conversations, after hitting "Load Earlier Messages" so many times, my Message App crashes...
Are others experiencing this?
Is this a known bug?
Is there a fix for this?
Is there a way to avoid this or a workaround?
I can't see any corelation between conversations that crash and don't crash, it's almost random - as if some conversations were eventually trying to load a corrupted part of a conversation file and crash while others do not.
Please help! I need to look something up from a few older conversations dating back to June of 2012 and some of the conversations crash the app before I get there...
Thank you!No one else is experiencing this issue?!?

Why does the youtube app doesn't play in HD?
Why does the youtube app doesn't play in HD? I couldn't find any option of changing the stream option also. Please help!
Me too, ipad mini can't get YouTube app to function via the official app and the same error message," ...tap to retry", but to no avail. The app launches but it will not allow me to sign in. The drop arrow just tilts up and down and ...nothing. I can still access YouTube through Safari browser but strange, I can't find a solution to the app not opening or being able to sign in on either ipad mini or phone even though they are up to date apps.

The Age app keeps asking for my password even though I am a subscriber. The developer can't fix it.
The Age app keeps asking for my password in subscriber content pages, even though I pay for subscription to access all areas. The Age can't fix the problem.
Try deleting and re-installing the app
Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps from the tray BEFORE doing the reset.
Be a little more insistant with the app developer. If it his/her code after all. -
Why does the Mail.app CC: field puts me first on the CC: list although I was not ?
Why does the Mail.app CC: field always rearranges the list so I am first on the CC: list although the sender intentionally did not ?
I did not see how and where to de-activate this unnecessary intrusion in the company's communication codes.
iOS on my iphone, correctly leaves my name where it is in the CC: list.Hi starbux48,
Yahoo! partnered with Apple to allow an IMAP style offering on the iPhone, free of charge for their users. However that feature is only available if you use the iPhone. If you want IMAP/POP access on computers then you'd need to upgrade to the Plus level account. -
Why is the message app popping up on my mac when everything has been disabled on my iphone and mac as per the instructions all over this forum, I use my phone for messages, not my mac. Is this a bug? I just want it off my mac forever!
Have disabled in Messages > preferences on the Mac
imessage is disabled on my iphone
Same goes for Safari which pops up on the mac when I open it on my iphone, how can I disable it all?Thanks but have signed out, disabled and nothing.
It's Yosemite not Mavericks.
What it won't let me do is delete the account as the - button is greyed
out.
It won't let me delete the app from the OS

I have a iPhone 6 and every time I click on messages a pop-up will appear saying I need to enter a phone number to be able to message. It has two options "cancel" or "settings" so I select "settings" and it takes me to my message settings and my phone number is entered there so I will re enter it and click "save" and when I go back to messages it will pop up again. Any idea how to fix It? I've done all the updates and I have restarted my phone twice.
I think I figured it out. Did everyone, by any chance, have their device previously jailbroken? Then when they backed up their apps with iCloud, iCloud saved them? Then when trying to restore to a previous backup after upgrading to IOS6 all the apps showed up but just say waiting underneath? Well the reason it keeps asking for the apple id and password is because of those apps. As I noticed, the apps that are like that, when I tap on them the same window shows up asking for my info. All I did was erase the apps that were 'waiting' that were previously downloaded from when my iPad was jailbroken and I haven't gotten the little pop up since, its associated with the apps, I noticed that, but not exactly what its reasoning behind it is, probably because it is asking for your ID in order to download it, but when it can't connect, because of it being a pirated app, the device gets confused and when isn't able to download the first time, it will try again and continuously ask for your ID in order to confirm its download.
Hope this helps.
- After this upgrade I'm going to be avoiding jailbreaking and just deal with what I have to app wise. -
The message app on my mac book pro says I have 3 new message notifications and I already opened those messages a week ago. How do I get rid of the notification pop up on the app?
Please sign out of all the messaging services you use and sign back in. If there's no change, log out or restart the computer.

In my messages app, let's say I sent a text to my friend 'John'. By right, his name and text should appear at the top of the list of messages, right? But instead, my phone decides to put let's say 'Mary', 'Sophie' 'Luke', 'Paul', 'dan' and 'Michelle' all on the top of this list instead. All the messages to/from them are and have been empty/deleted with weeks and i haven't contacted them in weeks either. But my phone still puts them at the top of the list, and the time stamp usually state the current time on my clock at that time. So Even though I texted john seconds ago, these people all remain above his name in my messages, why is this does anyone know?

Why does the music app on my phone keep skipping songs?
My music app on my iPhone 4S keeps skipping songs. It will show the album
cover for a second then it will skip right to the next song and sometimes it will
skip multiple songs. For example, once it skipped over an entire playlist and
went to the screen at the end when it showed all of the songs in the playlist.
I have update 6.0.1 and I haven't used the music app since the last update.
Any help would be much appreciated.Mine is 18.2Mb it gets to about 37mb tops, Try logging out of the app, remove all apps that are running in the background then shut your phone down and restart, if that does not work hold the power and home button and do a hard reset. You shouldnt loose any data at all but make sure you back up anyway before hand, its just like a forced reboot of a computer really.
