Q: How do I contact someone with iChat?

  Equipment / Software

  • Mac Pro (Early 2009)

  • 2.66 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon

  • 8 GB 1066 MHz DDR3 ECC

  • AMD Radeon HD 6870 2048 MB

  • OS X El Capitan: 10.11 (15A284)

 

  Problem

  • iChat quit working in June 2015 after a minor update for OS X Yosemite.

  • Can no longer connect with iChat to computers outside of my house. The computers that use to work are all Mac from 2009 to 2014 - 7 different models in all in different locations and all with different internet providers.

  • Do not know what causes the problem.

  • El Capitan OS X 10.11 did not fix the problem.

  • Bonjour works inside of my house.

 

  Steps to solve problem:

  • Update OS X software

  • Turned off the firewall

  • Tried connecting from all 7 computers

  • Read about similar problems on Apple Support Communities forum

  • Asked specialist at Apple store

  Results

  • Nothing works

  • Total frustration

Mac Pro (Early 2009), OS X Mavericks (10.9.4), OS X Yosemite (10.10)

    Interesting.

     

    Seems I may need to test with someone then.
