Messages signs out of AIM/Bonjour after inactivity

after upgrade to 10.8 messages signs me out (AIM + Bonjour) when computer is inactive for short period. in 10.7 it would set me to away - for minutes or for hours - made now difference. now it logs me out completely and i have to wait to sign back and - also this causes me to miss messages that may have come while i was away.
i never want to be logged out unless i put the computer to sleep or manually sign out.
does anyone have any thoughts on this?
in messages preferences i have have "set my status to away after the computer is inactive" checked and "set status to available" when i return.
i've tried turning off SSL in AIM - did not work.
pretty sure it's not a preference issue - i can try deleting those if someone thinks it would help.
again any help would be appreciated.

I personally use Messages all day, every day, and don't have any issues with sign-out on AIM.  I'm not using Bonjour at the moment.
I have had some issues with signing in to AIM with Messages, but I don't recall seeing any of those since 10.8.1.
Sorry I can't be of more help other than to say it's working fine for me, on multiple machines.

  • Crash report when i sign out from app store after finish install mountain lion on my macbook pro retina. please fix this

    Hi, I already finish download osx maountain lion after 2 attempts for my macbook pro retina. and when I want to sign out from my account at app store, it crash and some crash report show up. and if I sign in it happen also, but the app store still can be run after got the crash report, and I already sent the report to apple. do anyone got this problems ? and for apple : please fix this problems !

    Install or Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion from Scratch
    Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Erase the hard drive:
      1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
      2. After DU loads select your startup volume (usually Macintosh HD) from the
          left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
      3. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Optionally, click on
            the Security button and set the Zero Data option to one-pass. Click on
          the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
      4. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Install button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
                because it is three times faster than wireless.

  • Log out a specific user after inactivity, not all users

    I'd like to log out a specific user after a few minutes of inactivity.  Not all users.  Is there a ways to set this on a per user basis?
    I know how to do it system wide.

    Should be possible with this:

  • How do I sign out of my account after logging in? There is no sign out button when signing into my apple account using safari

    Every time I sign into my apple ID account online I cannot log out by clicking a "sign out" button.
    This is quite strange. Closing the browser window doesn't automatically log me out either.
    I know with itunes there is a sign out or log out button but not with signing in your account online.
    I had to change some personal information which is why I noticed it.

    I'm on a PC.  Maybe that makes a difference.  And I went directly to apple.com; I did not launch the store from Itunes -- so perhaps that's the difference.
    Whatever it is I am never presented with a command bar that looks anything like yours.
    The following image is from when I am actually accessing my account data:
    No log-in; no screenname; no log-out -- And yet I am in a secure domain.

  • 'Messages' logs out my AIM account every 10 minutes, help ??

    Since updating to OS X Mountain Lion, my AIM accounts keep logging out and disconnecting, I tried deleting and re-adding the account but there hasn't been any change,  has anyone else been experiencing this?

    Hi,
    I would check the Preferences or Messages and then the Server Settings tab for the AIm Logins you have.
    The server should be api.oscar.aol.com and the SSL option is normally On.
    There have been issues with the AIM SSL server in the past.
    It may pay to try it without SSL and see if there is any difference.
    Also Messages will tend to reconnect if the connection gets dropped when not using SSL  (SSL has to be manually reconnected for Security purposes).
    Previously the iChat App uses the login.oscar.aol.com servers and when using SSL the software would change the server name by adding a leading s (slogin.oscar.aol.com).
    This was on port 5190.
    You have to Log Out to change any of these settings

  • System not signing out or shutting down properly.

    The problem is sometimes (not always) when I shut down my computer (which I recently updated from Windows 8 to 8.1 via Store), or sign out - it hangs. Hangs in the way, that when signing out it keeps showing signing out for 30 minutes, after which I just
    force shutdown it. Same is the case with shutting down: after the screen is turned off, I still see the processor light on, even after a lot of time, indicating that it has not actually shut down. This has been the case since a lot of time now.
    The biggest problem is, it occurs frequently enough to be an issue, but not everytime. For example, if I turn off/sign out 10 times a week, this problem is present, like only 7 times. So I can't find a definite cause for it. Also, this is primarily an issue
    with the sign out: I think the shutdown fails because the sign out fails - so it's about fixing the sign out.
    With no sort of visual indications or error messages, the only place I can start troubleshooting is the Event log. Looking at the System logs under Windows, the only error reported around the time of shutdown and (surprisingly) even when the PC is being
    used is Event ID 10016 "The machine-default permission settings do not grant Local Activation permission for the COM Server application with CLSID {C2F03A33-21F5-47FA-B4BB-156362A2F239} and APPID..."
    Using the registry, I found that this application with the above mentioned CLSID was: Immersive Shell. Looking deeper into the Event Log, I found that this error started occurring only after Windows 8.1 was installed. This confirms that this issue is
    caused by some fault during update.
    I would like to make it clear that a Refresh or a Reset is my last resort - simply because I do not want to spend hours reconfiguring my system and desktop apps. I want to get to the solution of this issue - not overlook it.
    Even more interesting, sometimes the error would end like: " from address LocalHost (Using LRPC) running in the application container Unavailable SID (Unavailable). This security permission can be modified using the Component Services administrative
    tool." (the case around the time of shutdown/sign out),
    and sometimes like: "to the user PCNAME\USERNAME SID (S-1-5-21-1925085438-1685653947-3436975336-1001) from address LocalHost (Using LRPC) running in the application container Microsoft.BingNews_3.0.1.174_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe SID (S-1-15-2-508114518-3340871649-811464485-526616082-4258465299-1774086546-1865468257).
    This security permission can be modified using the Component Services administrative tool". (during the time the PC is on). And this kind of error occurs with many other Modern apps, so you can replace the part after "running in the application container"
    with the details and name of any installed Modern app.
    So, what is this error essentially, why does this occur, and most importantly, how do I fix it? Thanks in advance for any solutions/suggestions.

    Well, to set settings for Immersive Shell, I followed the steps at
    http://blogs.msdn.com/b/emeadaxsupport/archive/2010/01/26/unable-to-edit-the-dcom-settings-for-iis-wamreg-admin-service-on-a-windows-server-2008-r2-when-trying-to-configure-kerberos-authentication-for-role-centers.aspx
    (which I got a reference to from a reply at
    http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_vista-security/dcom-error-10016-cannot-change-permissions-in/dfdb4fa6-c867-4af1-b650-3a188d26d36b ).
    This automatically granted me full control on Administrators for Immersive Shell (did not notice then, but when you asked me to do so, I checked it). But the issue was not resolved. Then, when you mentioned about posting complete event log details,
    I thought I had only left out the APPID part (which was irrelevant to solving this issue). But just to be double sure again, I checked (I was right). And this lead me to something interesting, the recent error ended with:
    to the user NT AUTHORITY\LOCAL SERVICE SID (S-1-5-19) from address LocalHost (Using LRPC) running in the application container Unavailable SID (Unavailable). This security permission can be modified using the Component Services administrative tool.
    So, I just added permissions for LOCAL SERVICE to all 3 parts (Launch and Activation, Access and configuration permissions) - and tested by doing 2 sign-outs and 2 shutdowns.
    And surprisingly, it all worked well. So, based on this I can declare: <strike>PROBLEM SOLVED!!!</strike>
    <strike>NOW WHAT DO I MARK AS THE ANSWER? This post?</strike>
    And, thanks for offering help, v-yozhu.
    On the third shutdown, it again stuck. Checked the event log again: this time it's event 10010 (around shutdown, 3 times in a row):
    The server {03E64E17-B220-4052-9B9B-155F9CB8E016} did not register with DCOM within the required timeout.
    And there's another one (during general PC use):
    The server {209500FC-6B45-4693-8871-6296C4843751} did not register with DCOM within the required timeout.
    OK, now I am trying to solve this issue.

  • Still signed in to Messages & FaceTime after sign out & reboot

    Hi,
    It seems I can't sign out of Messages or FaceTime.
    Steps to reproduce:
    1. Open Messages app preferences and sign out of iMessage account.
    2. Open FaceTime app preferences and sign out of the Apple ID account.
    3. Reboot the computer.
    At this stage, when I re-open either the Messages or FaceTime app and look at the preferences, my Apple ID is signed in again.
    How can I sign out of Messages and FaceTime for good?
    This is part of a larger problem: I'm experiencing issues with Messages syncing on OS X Yosemite. It was working fine for a while, then stopped.
    Everything's still working fine on my iPhone, it's the syncing to OS X that's broken.
    I've been searching for solutions to this for a while. I am able to link OS X to my iPhone successfully in Safe Mode as well as signed in to a different account on the same machine. (See Mac Pro - Yosemite - iMessage won't connect.)
    In all my testing I noticed something strange with my credentials in the FaceTime & Messages apps: when I sign out of either of them, then reboot, I'm signed in again.
    Other observations:
    Launching the Messages app always takes 5~6 seconds, and the beachball appears for about 1~2 seconds at the end.
    If I sign out of the iMessage account, quit the Messages app, then re-launch it (without rebooting the computer) and attempt to sign in, it never finishes. The spinner on the sign in dialog spins for eternity. I will eventually kill the app, and after re-launching it, I'm signed in again.

    Hi,
    In FaceTime > Preferences set it to Off Line.
    In Messages > Preferences > Accounts > iMessages accounts untick the Enable this Account box (this will log it out)
    Use the Sign Out button if you want something more permanent.  When you go back to look at this it will still list your Apple ID  but will not be logged in (the
    Password is not there)
    From what you say  it might pay to delete two .plists
    In the Finder (any window open) use the Go Menu whilst holding down the ALT key.
    Select the Library at appears in the menu list
    Navigate to Preferences
    Find com.apple.imagent.plist and drag it to the Trash.
    Do the same for com.apple.ids.service.com.apple.madrid.plist
    The first is the app that helps the accounts in both FaceTime and Messages to login.
    The second holds the iMessages accounts info.

  • "you're signed out of Find My Friends after an hour of inactivity."

    FIND MY FRIENDS APP
    "If you haven't set a passcode to unlock your device, you're signed out of Find My Friends after an hour of inactivity. To stay signed in, set a passcode on Settings > General > Passcode Lock or Touch ID & Passcode."
    So the only way for friends to see my location at any time is to use a passcode every time I use my phone after being autolocked?
    If I don't want the inconvenience of repeatedly typing a passcode, on the whole friends can't see my location? Unless I remember to keep logging in to the app.
    If this is correct, the app can't easily be used for 'anytime locating', only when meeting up. That is, if it always occurs to friends to use it when meeting up. Looks like a major downside, if understood correctly.

    I just got this problem and cannot see how this can be undone either...
    Best regards,
    Peter

  • After signing in, keep getting message that I've been signed out

    I just downloaded Creative cloud onto my computer and it's my first time trying to use these applications, like Photoshop. I go to log into the Creative Cloud app and it loads but comes back saying "You've been signed out, please continue to sign in." If someone could please help me, it would be appreciated. I saw the main suggestion to fix this, but I don't know where the activity monitor is on spotlight, or anything else is on the list of steps to fix this problem. Someone please help! Since the staff don't seem to want to help me at all.

    And after all the times I've tried to log in, now when I open the application, it's blank and doesn't give me any information. Doesn't even show a place for me to sign in.
