Unable to connect to AIM error

I keep getting this error message when I try logging on to ichat:
Could not connect to AIM
The connection to the host was unexpectedly lost.
I have checked all of my proxy settings in firewall and have even tried my aim and .mac account. My bonjour chat seems to be working fine and other than this my internet connection is strong.
Is anyone else experiencing this? Anyone know a quick fix?

No Help, I have gone through and deleted all the ichat preferences in both the main library and the user one.
I have force quit the app with activity monitor.
I have restarted the computer after all of this.
I have changed my port to 443.
I have been thinking of upgrading to Leopard and wondering if that might fix this, Regardless, I am still unable to connect. I get the exact same message after it tries to connect for a couple seconds.

  • Unable to connect to BlackBerry (error 1); skipping.

    I am a new curve user and was reassured at the Verizon store that I would be able to download software that would enable to me sync my phone up with my Mac.
    As promised, I found the software and downloaded it, however, I got the following error message when I tried to perform the sync "Unable to connect to BlackBerry (error 1); skipping."  
    When I began downloading the software, I read a notice that this version contained a correction to fix this issue, but it didn't seem to work. 
    I even uninstalled and reinstalled the software in case that was the issue and it's still not working.
    I am really enjoying my new phone, however if I can't make this work, I'll have to go with a more compatible model.
    Help anyone??

  • Sync - [09:14:58.​388] Unable to connect to BlackBerry (error 1); skipping

    when I try to sync new Blackberry (9500 smartphone 3G) to Mac address book I get this message:
    [09:14:58.388] Unable to connect to BlackBerry (error 1); skipping
    is this something really simple like a fawlty USB cable (it seems to charge the battery, though) - or something to do with configuration?
    please help beforeI have to resort to loading contacts manually one by one!

    the directions on the support website didn't work for me, but this did:  go into options/memory/media transfer protocol --set to off
    auto enable mass storage when connected --set to either yes or prompt
    remove battery
    replace and let it come back on, then try the sync again.  I've had to do it several times over the last couple of months --something in the pocket mac-device connection gets corrupted.  Also --after time, the sync program ceases to overwrite, so have had to purge it (user/library/application support/ pocketmac syncmanager/additional tools/data purge UI) purge the device, try to sync again,  and if that doesn't work, then, do a hard reset and follow the above....  If you have verizon, forget it, they're not much help.  good luck.

  • ISync gave me: Unable to connect to BlackBerry (error 1); skipping.

    I´m trying to sync with my blackberry and it´s giving me that error: Unable to connect to BlackBerry (error 1); skipping.
    And in the Devices menu don´t let me add a new device; have anything to do with that?
    Thanks

    Blackberry devices are not compatible with iSync. To sync a Blackberry you should use PocketMac or Missing Sync and if you are having problems with either of those products you should contact the Support department of the relevant company.

  • Unable to connect to AIM via iChat- Adium works fine...

    I have been trying to get this to work for a long time, but just can't figure it out.
    I am currently using Adium and everything works fine and connects, but Adium has no support for video so when I want to do a video chat, I used to just login to iChat.
    Now, when I try to login to iChat, I get the "Lost connection with AIM" error.
    It will sometimes connect for less then a second, then it just dies.
    I have checked logs and just cant figure it out. I am not using a proxy, I know the server settings are correct, and I don't have anything on my router that could cause this- especially because it works fine with Adium...
    Anyone else ever had this problem? If so- know any way to fix it?
    Looking at logs, I see its doing:
    Tue Oct 9 2007 00:54:11.672 PDT -Allw- local:0 -> 192.168.1.1:53 (domain) udp4 'lookupd (15310)'
    Tue Oct 9 2007 00:54:11.696 PDT -Allw- 192.168.1.1:53 (domain) -> local:61846 udp4 'lookupd (15310)'
    Tue Oct 9 2007 00:54:11.696 PDT -Allw- local:55479 -> 64.12.200.89:5190 (aim ) tcp4 'iChatAgent (23718)'
    Tue Oct 9 2007 00:54:11.696 PDT -Allw- 127.0.0.1:61847 -> 127.0.0.1:61847 udp4 'iChatAgent (23718)'
    Tue Oct 9 2007 00:54:12.182 PDT -Allw- local:55480 -> 64.12.24.129:5190 (aim ) tcp4 'iChatAgent (23718)'
    So it looks like it is finding the IP and connecting to it, but its connecting to multiple IPs for AOL? I just have no idea...

    Hi
    Try logging on to AIM on port 443 rather than port 5190.
    Go to IChat in the menu bar > Preferences > Accounts.
    Log out of AIM and then use the Server Settings tab
    Set the port to 443.
    Log back in again.

  • How to resolve on my iPad: Unable to connect to server error when trying to log into Game Center?

    When I try to log into the game center, i get an error message that says: unable to connect to server due to an error communicating with the server.
    I have logged off iTune and any other app I was logged in, I have done a hard reset of my iPad, I have reset my modem, but nothing had any impact and I am now frozen out of my game center.
    Anybody has an idea of how to resolve this?
    Thanks,
    J

    1) May be there is a mismatch with the jar file name and the filename in the jad properties ( happens only if you rename the jar file)
    2) Check hollywood jad properties and the ringtone jad properties. May be the complete url is required for the jar file.
    3) If you are using any restricted APIs in your midlet, then make sure your jad properties has the required permissions.

  • New MacBook Pro 10.7.2 trying to connect to HP laserjet 1200 w wireless. Tried generic driver and hpdriver and gutenprint drivers. "Unable to connect due to error". Deleted prefs, restarted etc. Any ideas ?

    Just purchased a MacBook Pro OS 10.7.2. Cannot get it to print with HP LaserJet 1200.
    Connection is wireless, able to ping printer. (also tried  MacBook using ethernet).
    This HP 1200 prints perfectly with another mac running Snow Leopard.
    Tried HP 1200 driver, which, according to HP,  is not working with 10.7.2; They suggested Gutenprint
    tried generic printer from Mac, (message was printer is busy);
    tried CUPS Gutenprint 5.0.2,(message says "unable to connect due to an error"
    removed preferences and re-added printer, rebooted etc.  
    Any thoughts? I thought it was the driver, maybe there are other drivers out there or maybe it's something else???? Thanks

    Thanks for the replys.
    After spending an hour plus, uninstalling and reinstalling drivers and still not able to print, my husband, sits down, plugs in an ethernet cable, reinstalls the printer with the ip, and it prints. !!! I'd already done that , but that was before I deleted the preferences and installed the Gutenprint driver. I think it was the new Gutenprint driver that did it.

  • Intermittent REP501: Unable to Connect to Database Errors

    Hi,
    This problem is occuring on a Oracle Application Server 10g (9.0.4.2) configured to run Forms and Reports.
    Operating system is Windows 2003 Server.
    Reports are called from Forms using the RUN_REPORT_OBJECT.
    Any user at any time running any report may receive a REP501: Unable to connect database error. Usually closing the Forms application and re-starting it clears the error.
    Reports trace indicates the database has returned either an "invalid username/password" or "account locked" error. This cannot be true because our Forms app logs each individual user into their own database account. The Reports server logs in to the database as the user when it makes its connection.
    This error clears itself without restarting the Reports server.
    We have also seen information in the Reports trace that indicates a possible crash of the VisiBroker osagent.
    The Windows event viewer does not show any errors or warnings.
    Is it possible a crashed osagent could cause the Reports server to return the invalid username/pasword and account locked errors?
    Any ideas on how to troubleshoot this further?
    TIA,
    Jim

    Hi,
    To know about the Action to be taken when REP-501 is encountered, you may want to refer to Oracle Reports Online Help available on OTN:

  • Unable to connect to internet error on torch

    when i try to use the internet i get the error "unable to connect to the internet please try later"
    i have BIS
    calls are fine
    My home wifi broadband is working on my laptop
    neither home wifi or mobile network connect but both are ticked/enabled
    it has worked in the past for at least a year with no problems
    i tried to cure it by updating the OS to the latest OS7 and initially it worked then stopped
    I~ tried to turn on mobile hotspots but i get the error 'cannot start due to a temp network problem"
    the only advice i've had from vodafone is to reload the os which is pretty pathetic advice as i said i'd already done it and its hardly something you can do very often.
    its end of contract time and i'm so frustrated by this i'm beginning to think the only way i can fix it is to change networks or move away from blackberry but id rather not.

    Hello!!
    I suggest the following steps, in order, even if they seem redundant to what you have already tried (steps 1 and 2 each should result in a message coming to your BB...please wait for that before proceeding to the next step):
    1) Register HRT
    KB00510 How to register a BlackBerry smartphone with the wireless network
    Please wait for one "registration" message to arrive to your Messages app
    2) Resend Service Books
    KB02830 Send the service books for the BlackBerry Internet Service
    Please wait for "Activation" Messages, one per already configured email account, to arrive in your Messages. If you have no already configured email accounts, please wait 1 hour.
    3) Batt Pull Reboot
    With power ON, remove the back cover and pull out the battery. Wait about a minute then replace the battery and cover. Power up and wait patiently through the long reboot -- ~5 minutes. See if things have returned to good operation. Like all computing devices, BB's suffer from memory leaks and such...with a hard reboot being the best cure.
    Hopefully that will get things going again for you!
    If not, then you should perhaps try Safe Mode:
    KB17877 How to start a BlackBerry smartphone in Safe Mode
    It may take you multiple attempts to get the ESC key sequence (press/release/hold) correct, so be patient. When successfully into Safe Mode and if the behavior ceases, then think carefully...what happened just before this behavior started? A new app? An update? A Theme? Something else? Think carefully as the smallest change could be causal...and attempt to undo whatever that was.
    If the behavior continues in Safe Mode, then you may need to do as your carrier advised, with perhaps this methodology:
    Load your OS "bare bones"...if anything is optional, do not install it.
    If the behavior presents immediately, then try a different OS with step 1
    If the behavior does not immediately present, then run for as long as it takes for you to be sure that the behavior will not present.
    Add one thing -- no matter how tempting, just one.
    If the behavior does not present immediately, then again run for long enough to be sure it will not have the same problem
    Repeat steps 4 and 5 until all things are loaded or the behavior presents
    When the behavior presents, you know the culprit...the last thing you loaded.
    If the behavior does not re-present, then you know that either step 1 or 2 cured it.
    If the behavior presents no matter what, then you likely have a hardware level issue for which no amount of OS or software can cure.
    Good luck and let us know!

  • Unable to connect to Database Error in FDM application creation

    Hi All,
    I have Installed Financial Data Quality Management 11.1.2.2 in my machine. Database [Oracle 11g R2 64 bit] and client[Oracle client 32 bit] also installed in the same machine.
    We selected the following components while installing Oracle client[Custom installation],
    Oracle Objects for OLE
    Oracle Data Provider for .NET
    Oracle Providers for ASP.NET
    Oracle Provider for OLEDB
    Complete the install.
    When I tried to create FDM application it throws me the following error. Unable to connect to Database. Please check the database information and verify the database is accessible.
    Kindly guide me to overcome this issue.
    Thanks and Regards
    Sai

    Hi Sai,
    first of all, you have posted FDM issue in Essbase forum. Thats the reason you didn't get replies to this issue.
    To resolve this, we need to Oracle Client 32 bit first then Oracle Client 64 bit.
    Install Oracle Clients completly. (As per documentation, we need to install Clients completly. Means choose Administrator, not instant client and custom)
    After installing also if get same error, Goto Environment variables, Edit PATH variable and copy the 32 bit Client path to the first in the PATH variable.
    Then reboot the Server and try again to create FDM application.
    Thanks,
    mady

  • IChat AV 2.1 - Unable to Connect to AIM Server

    Until recently, I had no problem with iChat however in the last few days, I have been unable to connect to the AIM server. In fact, I cannot connect to the ICQ or Yahoo servers either with the respective IM programmes. My internet connection is fine, however I am at a complete loss as to what has happened with my IM programmes. Any ideas would be helpful.
    Cheers.

    HI Swiss Alps,
    You would not be using a Netgear device by any chance set to UPnP ?
    If so try turning Off and On UPnP a few tiems as people have said this works.
    The Security Update does seemed to have caused problems for some.
    The Jabber side of iChat 3 uses an SSL connection for Security. I am not sure about paid for .Mac accounts and the encryption they use as I do not have a paid for account to test with, but it might be part of the problem. The above fix seems to work on Netgears. I would reboot the modems and routers in turn to se if that helps with other devices.
    Also try turning Off Encryption if you are using it.

  • "Lost connection with AIM" error message

    Hi all,
    I've been a long-time iChat user — I've had very few problems, but now, at home, whenever I've been connected for about 10-15mins, iChat just disconnects with the simple iChat Connect Alert that the app has "Lost connection with AIM. The connection with the host was unexpectedly lost."
    My Buddy List collapses to a "disconnected" header and I diappear from my Buddies' buddy lists. If I'm in the middle of a chat (video, audio or text), the chat continues uninterrupted, but I still disappear from people's lists as if I'd disconnected manually. Weird.
    The net result is that I have to keep checking to see if I'm connected and then reconnecting all the time. A real pain in the proverbial.
    It only happens at the house. My laptop doesn't disconnect if I'm at the office, for instance.
    I have cable, coming in to Netgear 814v2 router; out to an 8-port gigabit switch, which then feeds my three main machines. All via ethernet cabling.
    All machines have the same problem described above.
    I've made the usual Quicktime setting changes.
    I've listed the necessary ports in my Mac firewall settings (even though the firewall is turned off).
    Each machine has a dedicated IP issued by the router (10.0.0.2 thru 10.0.0.5)
    The router firmware is up to date.
    What else is there?! I have no problems initiating or joining any sort of chat with my buddies around the world. I have excellent bandwidth. My internet and email are never interrupted 24/7.
    Can someone help me? Pretty please?

    Hi
    Try this log on to AIM on port 443 rather than port 5190
    Go to IChat > Preferences > Accounts.
    Log out of AIM and then use the Server Settings tab
    Set the port to 443.
    Log back in again.
