An AIM service error occurred. The server message was: Serv:RequestTimeout

Hi All, I have no idea why I started getting this message, and it is only when I start the chat , not when someone im's me and I answer back. I did change the port to 443 and then back and I don't know. I was working fine untill a few days ago. Thank You For any Help. makes me nuts!!! Please help,
Desperate Daj

If changing ports does not work and you can not login with iChat then check the Screen name and password you are using on the AIM or @mac site
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=121885
If you can log on to the the correct site you got your Screen name from then there is one more check if you are using @mac. This means making sure your Password is 16 characters or less.
If that is Ok or you have an AIM screen name then you go to Users/(your account)/Library/Preferences and delete com.apple.ichat.AIM.plist
and Restart iChat.

Anyone else?

Hi Dan,
I've used iChat in the recent past with no problems. Nothing had changed in my environment and I confirmed that with my ISP. Just recently I've been getting the AIM problem were it say no response for 10sec and then the session ends. Was using a cannon camera when the problem started so I bought an iSight and am still having the same issue.
I use it to talk to my son and his wife. We both use Comcast cable, we both have new iMac's.

Aim An AIM service error occurred. Error: Serv:RequestTimeout

When using Aim in ichat there is a common error that occurs every 2 -3 minutes
the message that it gives me is
An AIM service error occurred. Error: Serv:RequestTimeout
Anyone help please
Thankyou

And just about a month later this issue comes up again. It seems that time is the only real answer to fixing this issue. I tried a combination of solutions last night and when I woke up this morning, I launched iChat...it flickered (like it does before it says you have logged in too many times too quickly) and I immediately quit the app.
Started up Adium, works like a charm.
Opened ichat about a half hour later, and started flickering again..what gives

"An AIM service error occurred. Error: Serv:RequestTimeout" - Please help.

So I've been having the dreaded
"An AIM service error occurred.
Error: Serv:RequestTimeout"
pretty much ever since I got my MacBook Pro a year ago. Up until recently, it only popped up maybe once a month. But now it's gotten to the point where I get the error message within 5-10 minutes of a chad starting with someone else. I have tried changing the port and whatnot, but I still get the same error message. I have gone through pages of similar topic forums, but no solution has fixed my problem.
Does anyone have any advice?
P.S. I tried switching to Adium. I hate it.

Shut down the computer any router and modem.
Repower the Modem and wait until it says it is Ready.
Then any Router and wait again.
Lastly power up the computer.
Also check that any DNS servers listed in the modem or router set up pages are copied across to the Mac > System Preferences > Network (Maybe advanced button > DNS tab).

An AIM service error occurred, but where to Log-Out ?

Here's a real basic question, due to be a head-slapping "of course !" ( I hope )
I just got Leopard last Sat, my brother Jim tonight, and he suggested an iChat so he could show me what was different on a big ol' MacPro.
There was a lot that mystified us about iChat on Tiger, let alone it's beefed-up Leopard incarnation, so I looked into it and got enough of the "An AIM service error occurred. Error: Serv:RequestTimeout " that I googled it and found this thread from right here on Apple Discussons : http://74.125.95.104/search?q=cache:H2ojIfDVIDoJ:discussions.apple.com/thread.js pa%3FthreadID%3D1208110An+AIM+service+error+occurred.+Error:Serv:RequestTimeout&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=1&gl=us&client=safari
So many flummoxed by the same deal. But here's my problem & where I'm stupidly stuck :
To follow the suggestion & change server-ports, one must log out, but aside from Log-In being greyed out, I can find nowhere *to log out !* !!
It's one a' those really annoying Catch-22's too.
I have to log out to change the server-port, but can I change the port when logged-out ??
And where the *@#% is the log out option ?!
Heh-heh ( help )
( thanks )

Thanks Tony,
This time I went in, clicked in accounts from .mac to MoblieMe ( all I have is .mac and Bonjour . . . no AIM, which I thought I did ! ), but I decided MobileMe was likely not so "stable" and I switched it back to .mac. I checked Server Settings and I wasn't greyed out.
I switched it to 443, pioked around a bit, and now I am greyed out again !
I am also completely confused, if it ain't obvious !
but thanks again !

That error means your are not running xserver process. Or, your ssh connection is not set-up to forward X-11 data.

Hi,
So, now you have tried it with SSL on and Off and on Port 443 as well as port 5190.
You have tried deleting your screen Name from ichat and Re-adding it.
You have tried deleting the .plist
Have you tried restarting the computer ?

"An AIM service error" message

Whenever I try and sent an IM in iChat AV 3.1.8 I get the following message:
An AIM service error occurred. The server message was: Serv:RequestTimeout
I'm using iChat on 2 different macs and get the same message on both. I am able to receive IM's and there are 2 people on my buddy list that I can actually get an IM through to.
Any suggestions would help.
Thnx

Looking further.
Open iChat
Go to Preferences > Accounts
Make sure you are Logged out of AIM (Buddy list with no Buddies - done in the iChat Menu)
IN the Server Settings tab is the Server listed as login.oscar.aol.com ?
You have changed the port to 443 yes ?
You should have both iChat/computers set to Allow Multiple Logins for that AIM/@mac account.
The Password for your AIM or @Mac account used with iChat should be 16 characters or less.
It should also only be numbers or letters.
To start at the beginning.
1) iChat can login and show your Buddies ?
It is after this when trying to Text chat of any sort that you have problems ?
2) Do you have problems with A/V Chats ?
3) Have you ever tried a deletion of the preferences file com.apple.ichat.AIM.plist ?
4) Did you go through the Start up Screens like this ?
http://www.siriusaddict.com/ichat.html
5) Tell me how you have Added Buddies ?
Did it match the iChat 3 way http://www.ralphjohnsuk.dsl.pipex.com/page6.html ?

AIM service error wont allow me to stay connected

An AIM service error occurred. The server message was: Serv:RequestTimeout.. It tells me this when i try to talk to someone.. It tells other people i am available and they instant message me but i dont recieve them.. I need help, this is a brand new macbook and will not allow me to stay connected to aim!

Hello,
To change the channels that the NetGear router is pushing the signal over, do the following:
Log into http://192.168.0.1 username: admin, password: password (this is the default unless you changed it, which I'd recommend for security anyway).
Go to wireless settings
Go to channel
Change it to something like "11" which seems to work best for me (although it can really depend with wireless interference in your area, other WiFi networks, cordless phones, microwaves, etc).
Go to the bottom and click save and then log out.
It could be possible that your wireless router is susceptible to wireless interference because of the channel it's communicating on and thus dropping your internet connection, thus causing AIM to disconnect.

AIM service error

I am trying to use iChat. When I do, I am able to send an IM to someone, but when they send an IM back, I get the following error message:
AIM error:
An AIM service error occurred. The server message was: Serv:RequestTimeout
and I am unable to view the IM from the other person.
iMac Mac OS X (10.4.8)

There have been issues with both @Mac.com screen names and the new Mobile me names that end @me.com
This has been because the change over has not been as smooth as Apple would have wished.
The AIM server have to check with these Lists to verify the Screen name and Password but the Apple end has had problems.
What it pays to do at present for a @me.com account is add it as if it is an AIM type name and type the whole ID including the suffix.
Some people have reported that this also works for @mac.com names
At this screen and Adding an Account in iChat > Preferences > Accounts and using the Plus Button....
Enter it like this ...

Unable to open PWA in browser and MSP on application server in project server 2007. ERROR: Sending the Soap message failed or no recognizable response was received.

Hi All,
I am using project server 2007 and WSS 3.0.
I have been facing a strange issue for couple of days. I am unable to open PWA in browser and MS Project Pro on application server.
Everything is correct whether it is URL or MS Project profile account on MSP. This is strange because i can open same PWA/MSP from other computers (Database server / Client PCs) but not locally on server.
When i try to connect to MSP on App server, i get the following errors in event viewer.

One more issue i am facing and i guess that is related to above issue. The Issue is, when i am creating a new project, It's workspace gets created but doesn't get linked to the project and i can't link it manually because it already exists for the project.

Hi Paul ,
Thanks for reply. The project server URL was already added to the Trusted

Error getting the server-side naming service functionality

Hi all,
we are currently setting up the CTS+ activity based transport scenario. Everything seems to be working fine, however, we have to import each transport twice...
Before I go into detail in the error we get I will first describe our landscape. All the configuration we did was done in debate with SAP.
We use the SAP Solution manager (ehp1 SP 4) as the CTS+ server as recommended by SAP and have an NWDI system of which we only use the components DTR and CBS (since CMS is not used anymore in the activity based transport). We have defined three logical ports/RFCs. CTSCONFIG points to the NWDI system. CTSDEPLOY is running on the java stack of the solution manager and is only used for portal content (=epa) transports. CTSDEPLOY_DI is pointing to the NWDI system and is used for all NWDI (=dip) changes. The NWDI is running ehp1 SP3.
In STMS I defined all the non-abap systems (and configured them to use CTSDEPLOY_DI) and created the following transport route:
upload system (IMP) -> DEV -> ACC -> QAS -> PRD
I first attached the used dependencies in a transport request (SAP_BUILDT, EP_BUILDT, etc) these imported just fine. Then I did the SCA files which contain our custom code. I extracted these from the assemble step on our current NWDI system which will be removed as soon as we switch to the new CTS+ environment.
When we import the transport into the runtime systems then we see the DTR and CBS be filled sucesfully for this specific system. However, the transport request itself always fails with errorcode 12 and the error is:
Error during export service registration: Error getting the server-side naming service functionality during getInitialContext opera
tion. com.sap.engine.services.jndi.persistent.exceptions.NamingException: Error getting the server-side naming service functionality during getInitialContext operation.
Error in execution of Web services CTSDEPLOY_DI , exception is cx_cts_file_import_failed
File import canceled
When we then reimport the same transport it will go the second time fine. This is no problem during the setup but will not be workable when we go live ofcourse. Is there anyone who had this issue before as well and have a solution for it?
Kind Regards,
Nico van der Linden...

Hello Nico,
I would need the java trace files to get more info on this issue, but you can start troubleshooting this error with these notes:
#1172252: CTS+, 'attach file': Troubleshooting Guide;
#1003674: Enhancement for non-ABAP systems in CTS;
#1155884: CTS+, configuration 'close coupling': Troubleshooting guide;
Pay special attention to parameter NON_ABAP_WBO_CLIENT, whether it's correctly set on your CTS+ system(s).
Note #1003674 is a must for any CTS+ systems to work properly, as well as having an updated version of the transport programs (tp and R3trans).
Lastly, note #1155884 goes through some JCoException exceptions that commonly take place during CTS+ transports. But again, you need to check the underlying trace files to find the root cause of your issue.
I hope this information helps.
Best regards,
Tomas Black
