Yahoo Messenger - Service Not Enabled on this Handheld

I just installed Yahoo Messenger and get this error when I try to sign on.
Is there something I'm doing wrong? I have a BlackBerry Unlimited Internet and Texting package through ATT and I have the BB Curve.

AT&T doesn't allow yahoo messenger. There is a workaround, but I don't have a link to it. It is kind of involved, but doable. (Having said that . . . I didn't do it.) You should be able to find it through google or crackberry.com or even the RIM forums.
I just downloaded JiveTalk. $20 and it works like a charm across pretty much any messenger service I think. I know for sure it works on yahoo and ms live messengers.

Icq on Blackberry "Service not enabled for this handheld"

Every time I try to login to icq on my blackberry it gives me an error that says "Service not enabled for this handheld". I called Sprint whom my service is through and they told me that everything is enabled for messaging programs on my account. Does anyone know how I can get this working? My blackberry is an 8830 world edition.

Google talk not working on my 8310..."service not enabled for this handheld"

Hi,
I use a 8310 curve (I use a 8310 Curve software version 4.2.2.181 (Platform 2.5.0.35). My firm has an enterprise server.
I tried installing google ttalk on my device but i get an error message...."Service not enabled for this handheld".
My colleagues using the same device with the same software version did not face this problem and are able to use GTalk mobile.
Please let me know how this can be solved.
Thanks,
Jassi

It should be installed without any issue!!!
Check with your BES admin to know whether they've blocked GTalk usage for employees.
Another thing are you on AT&T? If yes then you won't be able to use Google Talk. Check this link for details.

Windows Live Messenger - Service not enabled on this device

Hi
Just got my BlackBerry Curve 8900 today, and firstly it won't let me install AppWorld? It's the most up to date software but it says "System requirements not met"
Also I managed to download Windows Live Messenger, but it won't let me sign in. When I try all it says is "This service is not enabled on this handheld".
I've used and installed AppWorld on my brothers phone which is the same, and with the same network; Vodafone. His works fine, am I doing something wrong?
Thank you very much!

did you get any support for this

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!!
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):
1) Register HRT
KB00510 How to register a BlackBerry smartphone with the wireless network
2) Resend Service Books
KB02830 Send the service books for the BlackBerry Internet Service
3) Batt Pull Reboot
Anytime random strange behavior or sluggishness creeps in, the first thing to do is a battery pop 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 check with your carrier to ensure that you have an adequate data service from them to enable the services you desire:

Aim service not enabled

Whenever I try to sign on to aol instant messaging (aim) it gives me this message "service not enabled for this handheld."
Anyone know how I can get this to be enabled?

This means that your carrier and blackberry and AIM do not have an agreement set up. Like I can't use WLM on att. Try a third party messenger service like webmessenger. That's what I use so I can talk with my WLM contacts. It may work for AIM too. Give it a try.

ACL is not enabled for this user OSX 10.5

I am running OS X 10.5 on a Mini Mac.
It was a clean install, everything went smoothly except for configuring the mail server.
I created my users as I normally do using Workgroup manager.
However 2 out of 3 of users I created can not log into the IMAP server.
You get the error message ACL is not enabled for this user.
What is the ACL and how do I enable it ?
Thanks

Yahoo Messenger does not work in 1.4

Several things fixed in 1.4 including clock speed but now my Yahoo messenger will not connect to server. It just keeps trying to connect ("Signing In...')
I also had several sms messages and a voicemail indication not come through until I recycled the phone.
My camera and video camera do work though.

I have the same issue on my phone and my wife's. I doctored my phone and did a partial and a full erase and did no other configuration but go straight to Yahoo and add my messenger account and it just sits at signing in and nothing happens. Over at precentral this is a common problem. No matter what you do to the phone it won't work so it's not phone specific. It's either a problem in the 1.4 code (although there are similar reports in 1.3.5) or a problem with Synergy.

Thousands of "mail is not enabled for this user"

Someone is sending my domain email to thousands of non existent mail accounts. It's like they are combining every possible prefix to my domain they know of. It's been going on for weeks. The Mail service, however, is not being brought down by this at all. So I don't know what kind of attack this is or how to stop it.
Can someone help me? Below is a minute section of my System log:

------------------

Two possibilities - both fall under the heading 'reconaissance by e-mail'. A spammer or hacker will try 1000's of common names, then look at which ones didn't bounce to determine which ones have accounts on your system.
They then have a comprehensive list of account names on your server, and can proceed to attempt likely passwords for each, or send endless spam to your users. Either one is a Bad Thing, doubly so if you've got any accounts that you created just to test things, and have weak passwords, but you've always counted on nobody knowing they exist.
At one point, I actually had a 'testuser' account that had 'testuser' as the password - I just hadn't remembered to delete it after I was done testing. It's very common for a system to have a couple of these hanging around. I didn't have trouble with it, but looking for and getting rid of these is critical.
Either way, the immdiate solution is to go Server Admin->Mail->Settings->Relay, and add the IP address(es) of the senders to the 'Refuse all messages from these hosts or networks' section. Mail attempts will still show up in your SMTP log, but they'll look like this one I got this morning (one of dozens):
Jan 3 11:07:33 miniserver postfix/smtpd[1440]: NOQUEUE: reject: RCPT from unknown[66.180.115.17]: 554 <unknown[66.180.115.17]>: Client host rejected: Access denied; from=<[email protected]> to=<[email protected]> proto=SMTP helo=<xptwfs.gov>
Next is to take a look at your password policies - if you've got strong password policies (must include characters and numbers, must be 7 characters or longer, etc., you're probably OK, but if anyone has weak passwords, or god forbid, uses their userid as their password, you're pretty vulnerable.
It's also worth noting that someone with a full list of your users has a fair number of tools for improved odds of phishing, or spear-phishing, where they create finely targeted mails that say things like 'Bob Smith told me to contact you for your password', and look very real. A warning mail to your users to remind them that they need to keep passwords secret, and be cautious about mail, even if it appears to know something about them, would be good. I wouldn't specify that you've been recon'd, just a general 'New Year Security Reminder' or some such.
Hope this helps!

Yahoo messenger does not connect after mountain lion upgrading

Hey,
Any experts there to solve my problem!
After upgrading to mountaion lion, the yahoo messenger can not connect to the internet, all contacts are not appearing automatically in email adress box, all editing tolls gone!!
Thanks in advance.

When I opened Yahoo Messenger for the first time, it asked to use my Contacts. I said no. It took about 3 minutes to finally connect to the internet and none of the names I typed appeared in the list, just their Yahoo IDs. I then went into Security and Privacy (System Prefs) and allowed it access to my contacts and the next time I logged in, the friends list looked exactly like it should. It didn't reduce the login time, however. It still takes about 3 minutes.
I hope this helps some.

ISync not enabled on this computer

On my Powerbook I'm having problems syncing my iPod Touch to iTunes that is a feature of the change to OS X 10.5.
I get a variety of messages including:
Syncing not enabled on this computer.
Sync services can't connect to the sync server:NSRecievePortException
On iTunes I'm told that it syncing is not enabled on this computer but I can override this.
I have only the latest version of iSync installed.
Any ideas?
thanks,

Melvyn, for the benefit of other users, it would still be great if you'd give us an update.
Meanwhile, I found my own solution on another Apple-related forum.... A user there had the same symptoms, and after a bunch of trial-and-error with an extremely knowledgeable guy who was walking the user through various steps, this was the result:
+"trash[ing] the ~/Library/Application Support/SyncServices/Local/ folder did it... Usually touching that folder brings good karma...glad that it's fixed now."+
It seemed like a radical move, because on my MacBook Pro that folder contained over 500 megs of data (although it may have been abnormally bloated)! But I had everything backed up, so here's what I did:
1. I moved the folder, referenced above, to my desktop. (Note that "~" indicates your home folder.)
2. Restarted my macine.
3. Opened the .Mac preference pane, then clicked "Sync"
(Note: Previously, clicking "Sync" had been causing the Prefs window to behave as though It had "crashed," and the fan on the Mac turned on, as it does when the processor runs hot. So just being able to successfully click "Sync" was a really big deal in this case.)
4. Clicked the "Advanced" button, selected the MacBook Pro, then clicked "Reset Sync Data" and made sure that I was replacing data on .Mac with the data from the computer (which I knew was good data). In other words, I made sure that the animated arrow was moving away from the computer and toward .Mac, indicating the direction of the data transfer.
(The folder I deleted in step 1 contained a lot of sync data. So without step #4, I was concerned that .Mac -- with its data having been deleted -- might have interpreted that as a signal to delete the data on the Mac. So I performed step #4 to make sure that didn't happen.)
5. Then I clicked "Sync now."
This was the first time I'd gotten sync to work for at least 36 hours. Also, after the sync was completed, the new "Local" folder, which replaced the one I deleted, only had 62 megs of data. That's why I suspect that the deleted folder was abnormally bloated.
So far so good.... I hope this description has been helpful.

Chat / Yahoo Messenger apps not working

Hi guys! I just got my E5-00 network unlocked form Orange Romania. Before that, everything worked great. Now, native Chat and Yahoo Messenger 2.20 are not working anymore (same for eBuddy or other apps like those) - it says Internet connection not available. However, when using Internet app, Facebook or Youtube, I am asked to choose the internet connection I want to use, but that doesnt happen for Chat or Yahoo Messenger. Please help

Hi Peggy13,
This sounds like a known issue reported here:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=713014
There was a workaround posted, but I've not tested it myself. Here are the steps.
# Go into Yahoo Messenger Options - Change the Window in the dropdown to Tab and press OK.
# Then go back and switch it to small window and press OK.
Once the bug is officially resolved, you could try running a Nightly or Aurora build to use the fix early.
Hopefully this helps!

Error in RFx : Item type 'Service' not allowed for this Item

hi , experts,
We use SRM7.0 in Standalone scenario .
i get an error when i transfer SC to RFx :     Line 0001: Item type 'Service' not allowed for this Item .
if someone kindly tell me how to correct this Error.
another question is ,in the Standalone scenario , can we create Service Master with multiple level(hierarchy) use Tcode 'COMMPR01 ' ?
   reagrds
           claud

Hi Claud,
SRM does not support hierarchy in service for operational documents like PO, contract, confirmation and invoice in SRM 7. It does support hierarchy in service only for RFx doucments. You need to activate the hierarchy template for SRM for that.
Thanks and regards,
Ranjan

Generic Object Services not enabled in MB23 Material Reservation

Hi all,
The Generic Object Services Toolbox is not available in SAP MM transaction MB23 used for accessing Material Reservations. SAP version is 4.7/620.
As its a standard SAP transaction referring to standard business object type BUS2093, so I was expecting that the Object Services will be enabled for this.
Kindly help as to how I can configure the display of Object Services toolbox in this transaction to link attachments. (If its regarding changing some code like including cl_gos_manager or SWU_OBJECT_PUBLISH, then kindly explain in detail.
With Regards
Neha

Thanks Deepak,
But I thought the described methdology in the PDF pointed by the URL is for how to do it for any custom business object type, will it be useful for the SAP standard business object as well like BUS2093. When I try to edit an already created SAP object, it starts asking for an access key.
With Regards
Neha
