unexpectedly quitting

Post by teddy1024 »

Adium keeps unexpectedly quitting and it doesn't matter if i'm using msn or aim. this has been happening for the past few days and i just can't use adium at all. is there any way i can fix this? oh yea, iChat works fine.

What version of Adium are you using? Have you upgraded to the latest (official) release?

Someone else has reported this crash to me; we have not been able to determine a source. Limewire and a couple other programs were also crashing oddly.

It didn't crash on a new user account; I think it didn't with fully fresh preferences, though I'm not sure. Let us know at what step along http://trac.adiumx.com/wiki/TroubleshootingTips it is fixed, please.

It started working fine on a fresh account on my computer aka step 4. So I guess it has something to do with my individual settings on my compy, I'm not sure where to go from here though,

Hm. In step 3, did you get both the Adium 2.0 and the com.adiumX.adiumX.plist file out of the way simultaneously? And it still crashed?

What if you rename your entire ~/Library/Preferences folder to Preferences-old and then launch Adium?
