Adium just not working

Post by fistonich »

so i have mac osX and i've had adium since like february and never had a problem with it. but yesterday i opened it as usual and it opened, but nothing happened. the buddy list didn't open. i went to preferences and there was nothing listed in the accounts section, and when i tried to re-add them, it wouldn't let me add anything. absolutely nothing worked on it. i tried uninstalling it, then reinstalling it, and it was just the same thing.
any ideas?
thanks.

My guess is that you're coming from a Windows system; "reinstalling" a program is typically very different on a Mac than it is on a PC.

What version of Adium are you running? And what version of Mac OS X are you running? Have you seen any issues with other programs?

You can try quitting Adium, renaming the Home > Library > Application Support > Adium 2.0 folder to something else, say, Adium 2.0 old, and opening Adium to see if it's your preference files that are possibly corrupted.
