Troubleshooting Preferences

If you believe that corrupt or oddly configured preferences may be causing problems in Adium, the quickest way to rule out these issues is by temporarily creating a new set of preferences and checking if the problem still persists.

1. Quit Adium.
2. Rename the "Adium 2.0" folder to "Adium 2.0-old".
3. Rename the "com.adiumX.adiumX.plist" to "com.adiumX.adiumX-old.plist".
4. Relaunch Adium, and see if your problem persists.

If that doesn't work, then you may as well revert to your previous preferences

1. Quit Adium.
2. Delete the new "Adium 2.0" folder and the new "com.adiumX.adiumX.plist" file that Adium created.
3. Rename your "Adium 2.0-old" folder back to "Adium 2.0" and "com.adiumX.adiumX-old.plist" to "com.adiumX.adiumX.plist".
