since a couple of days i'm experiencing trouble with adium.

The program just stops and shows the crashreporter. The biggest problem is that i haven't discovered any pattern yet. To me the crashes seem completly random with a time interval between 2 or 3 seconds and 2-3 minutes.

I have reinstalled (the latest version of) the program, runned it with a clean preference folder and created a fresh user account in macOSX. But nothing seems to help.

Anyone knows the problem/a solution? tyvm

Intel or PPC mac?

intel, 2.0ghrz macbook
macosx v10.4.8

Using MSN and .89.1?

yes, i'm running Adium v0.89.1 with only one MSN account

Disable the msn account and restart adium. See if the crashes go away.

I runned adium without any IM-accounts without any problems. Then I added a new (just created) msn account, again without any problems. I added some friends to the new account which also wasn't a problem.

But as soon as I added my old account to adium. It started to crash again after a couple of seconds.

so, something seems wrong with my msn-account what causes adium to crash. Anyone who know's what I can do against this?

Are you reporting the crashes with the crash report?

I found that Adium crashes when I add 2 MSN accounts. But when I delete one account Adium work perfectly.

2 reports was sended

yes, i did, with most of them.... the last two were send yesterday. in total i send 50 ofthem i guess....

Further i noticed some adium logfiles in my trash which refer to an EXC_BAD_ACCESS exception.

the beta seems to fix it

I thought it would be best to ammend to a crash report thread instead of creating a new one...

I seem to only have crashes when I attempt to send IMs. I click the my buddy's name, and the chat window opens, about 2 seconds later (or less) Adium crashes.

I have sent two Crash reports (just this evening), and have sent several in past weeks, Adium has worked alright for me for the past few days, (I also started a clean slate after I had sent several crash reports a few weeks ago). This seemed to help for a few days, but now the problem seems to be back.

Adium seems stable so long as I don't try to send IM's.

I'm using OSX 10.4.8 on my 2GHz Intel Macbook with 1GB RAM
Adium version 0.89.1

I use Aduim mainly with my AIM account, but also have Google Talk, and MSN accounts stored, but not often active.

Did I read correctly that using the beta version would help with bugs? I'll try that for the time being.

I hope this helps, and I hope I can get some insight on what's up.

If you can give me the email address or IM screen name you used when filing the crash report I can look it up in our database.

Ok, the crash is at http://www.visualdistortion.org/crash/v ... ash=221711 for any other developers reading the thread. It's that ridiculous no-backtrace insert nil crash.
Katty9203: I really don't remember if we've fixed that one yet for 1.0, but it's worth a try.

A couple people reporting a crash looking like that found that it didn't occur with the same Adium 2.0 folder on a new user account. This makes me suspect corruption from some other application's preferences file in ~/Library/Preferences or from some other running application, haxie, or InputManager. More details than that, I don't have.

Thanks for the speedy reply, and I think you all are doing a great job. I'll check back in on this tomorrow.
