Auto Accept Instant Messages

Is there a way to auto accept instant messages from people? Even ones on my buddy list? I'm getting tired of always having to press accept in order to see more than one line of text

IChat AV Auto Accept text messages causes app crash

I'm not sure if anyone is experiencing this but I just started using iChat after years of a hiatus. I noticed that there is an applescript for auto-accepting new text IM messages, a welcomed option.
However, ever since I turned it on, iChat crashes almost every time a new chat is started. Has anyway experienced this and, if so, are there any resolutions other than disabling it?
One thing to note is that I am running the Chax iChat add-on to integrate my AIM and GChat lists into one.
I'm running on a thunderbolt 15" MBP and OS 10.6.7.
TIA!
Brian

Hi,
So the Specs did not get changed :-)
Which version of Chax ?
IF you used the .dmg for the Leopard version you may have a problem.
In Console (Applications/Utilities) is it managing to save a Crash log for iChat ?
You have to open the reveal triangles

How can you auto-accept Video Calls in Messages.app

In Ichat there used to be a way to select a user and under "alerts" (which is no longer a perference option in messages) choose to auto-accept video calls from that person.
Is there a way to set up Messages to auto acccept video calls? It was great for when I wanted to check in on my puppy.
Thanks!

HI,
In the normal setting of Messages this is no longer possible.
I would use here to ask for the feature back
http://www.apple.com/feedback/ichat.html
The page was never very good at keeping up to date with iChat version numbers so type your specs into the Free Text area.
It might be possible to copy the AppleScript that did this and make a copy and remove the non Video bits and use it from the Dock.

Auto Accept with Screen Sharing with Yosemite Messages App

I take care of many of my family and friend's Macs and I'm really excited that screen sharing with 10.10 Yosemite through iMessage. I'm wondering if anyone know of a way to enrol their Macs into auto-accepting me to control the screen without the need for them to accept it. I know there was a way to do this back in the days of iChat.

Hi,
In Any Finder window use the Go Menu whilst holding down the ALT key.
Select the Library that appears and the navigate to Application Scripts/com.apple.iChat
Double click the Auto Accept item to open in in the Script Editor (formerly AppleScript Editor)
You will note the Text section at the top is commented out by being between (* and then the text and then *) the stars and parentheses.
Later a single line is also commented out with a # symbol
In iChat the section for Auto Accepting Screen Sharing used to be commentated out (originally it was not even there)
You might decide to comment out the other lines leaving just the bits you want. (or Copy the AppleScript and alter the copy).
Then you can go to Messages > Preferences > General Section and select the AppleScript as the Messages Received item.
NOTE
I have had issue myself with the AppleScripts as they stand in Yosemite.
I have tried several of those that are Included and some that I have collected from iChat and all return and error messages about timing out at present.
Others have reported the same in various Threads here at the Apple Support Communities.
At present there does not seem to be a work around.

How can I auto accept file transfers in Messages?

There used to be a setting to enable an auto-accept of file transfers in Messages.app (desktop version). This looks to be gone in Mavericks. I use Messages for work and need the ability to just auto accept files that my team sends me via IM. Thanks.

Hi,
That is because it is only now linked to the Messages Received option in the section at the top.
The actual Script (Messages app Right click > Show Packages Contents > Contents/Resources/Scripts) still contains the info to Auto Accept any invite.
The new script contains some lines to prevent errors.
You would probably need to extract the bits you needed and run the AppleScript all the time.
i.e. someone has changed the Script for Messages 8 but has not allowed the same access to the Script by the app for the things it is supposed to do.
If enough people complain or give Feedback hopefully the Alerts pane will come back
http://www.apple.com/feedback/ichat.html
I use this page as Messages is built on the iChat Engine.
The page has never been brilliant at keeping up to date (it does not even list iChat 6 for Lion) so put you specs in the free text area.

Firefox has suddenly gone wrong. I was successfully running both Firefox and Internet Explorer 8 on Windows 7. I auto-accept upgrades including the most recent Firefox upgrade and the suggested upgrade to Adobe Flash 10.1. But after this, Firefox stopped

Firefox has suddenly gone wrong. I was successfully running both Firefox and Internet Explorer 8 on Windows 7. My laptop is new and has plenty of RAM and HDD. I auto-accept upgrades including the most recent Firefox upgrade and the suggested upgrade to Adobe Flash 10.1. But after this, Firefox stopped working and does not work when I re-load Firefox 3.6. Also IE8 now works very slowly and does not locate major websites like Microsoft without a 'can't find the website message' and having to pressing Return a second time. When I do get to the Mozilla website and click on the button to try to download Firefox 3.6.6, I get this message "Oops! Internet Explorer could not find mozilla3.snt.utwente.nl". Can you help with what has gone wrong? As it stands, I can't use Firefox at all. Note: because Firefox did not work after the upgrade, I've downloaded the IE8 version of the Adobe Flash 10.1. What I really want is to be able to use both Firefox and IE8. But is this possible if they use different versions of Adobe Flash?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== About 2-3 days ago ==
== User Agent ==
Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Windows NT 6.1; Trident/4.0; GTB6.5; SLCC2; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 3.5.30729; .NET CLR 3.0.30729; Media Center PC 6.0; Tablet PC 2.0; .NET4.0C)

I have been having the same problem as the original poster. After upgrading to Ffx 3.6.6, the program asks you to upgrade to Flash Player Plugin 10.1. I download and installed 10.1 only to find videos weren't loading.
In my case, the problem is the previous installation of Flash Player (9.0.47) was somehow messing things up. To fix this, because I already had Flash plugin 10.1 installed I had to uninstall 10.1 using the uninstaller from adobe and then manually remove any files related the old flash player plugin 9.0.47
Here is a run-down of my process:
0. To check if you have a previous installation of the Flash Plugin lurking around, in Firefox go to Tools -> Add-ons -> Plugins (tab). At this point you may seen both Flash plugins.
1. Proceed to uninstall Flash Plugin 10.1. Adobe provides an uninstaller here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html
( you have to make sure you have nothing running when you execute the installer).
2. On my Mac (sorry I don't know what it is in Windows) I searched the hard drive for any files/folders with "Shockwave". I found a folder called "Shockwave 10". It wasn't removed by Adobe's uninstaller. For safety I deleted it and then emptied the trash.
3. I then went to My HD -> Library -> Internet Plugins.
Remove the file and folder named "Flash player.old"
4. Restarted; ran the Adobe Flash Player 10.1 installer. Restarted again.
5. Opened up ffx and double checked the plugins list (see step 1). Version 10.1 is installed and available. Went to problem sites to test it out and Success!
Hope this helps.

Instant Messaging no longer works for me..why?

Instant Message came pre-loaded on my iPad 2 when purchased over 2 years ago. Always worked. Ever since downloading IOS7 and related fix-packs, no longer works. Ive gone to Settings and what I see does NOT match the directions apple.support. What is going on? Do I need a reloaded app from the Appke Store? If so, which one? Maybe I need an appt with my local apple store for a look-see. Yes, I've shut the iPad down altogether and brought it back up but it still is not working. So annoying,

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

Auto-accept (in permission group setting) feature not behaving correctly in SP 2013

We have created a permission group and in setting selected Auto-accept - Yes means now when we will share the url of this group to business user. He just need to click on that and should be part of that group but when user is clicking on group url it
is asking for request message but it should not?

i think, they have to request it in order to the auto approve. that's how its work "any user requesting access to this group will automatically be added as a member of the group and receive the permission levels associated with the group".
if you share the screen shot, if the issue is different then we understand.

Auto accept script reports -1708 error on startup

Hey everyone,
I was just wondering if I was the only one experiencing a -1708 error when using the Auto accept apple script. I'm tired of always accepting chat invitations / messages, so I turned on the script. Now it's reporting a -1708 error. I tried to open the script and delete everything exept the message portion to see if it made a differnce, but nothing. I saw on a other thread to turn iChat in 32bit mode, but I don't have that option in my Get Info window.
Can anybody help this is very frustrating!
Thnaks !

Hi,
The wording looks right.
Is the Alerts section set like this "
I have selected the Auto Response AppleScript.
You appear to have a stripped down version.
The Original Poster in the other thread had not got this bit correct.
I have one set for Video Started
When I changed my Status message After it had been set by the AppleScript I got the Error message on trying to run another AppleScript on Chat End to reset the Status Message.
There may be other causes but this was what I found so far on a Search

Unable to send a Instant message

Hi all,
           I`m working in Collaboration. I properly cofigured the collaboration. Also i`m able to add contacts to my contact list.
           The problem is i cant send Instant Message to another user who is in online and also in my contact list. When i click the
           send instant message link it displays nothing.
         Also i logged in to my id for eg:12345....and when i see in my contact list its showing as 12345 is offline(even though i`m in online) ....... Thanx in advance....Plz help me out......

Hi vgarun,
Open System Administration---> System Configuration -> Knowledge Management-> Content Management-> Global Services(Mode-Advanced)-> Availability Status Service -
> Active (ticked) -
> Default Availability Status setting - Auto-Detect Status
By default the status is supressed so, even if you are logged into Portal it shows that you are offline in Instant Messenger Contact List.
Do the needful settings as mentioned in first para and try again

Tushar

IChat Auto Accept Chats?

Can i get iChat to auto accept calls from only me, which ever remote username i am using? i see it auto accepts but only me. i am the only one i nthe buddy list so is that a way?
is it safe that if i dont allow anyone else to join my buddy list then its safe to auto accept as its only me thats calling? Its the screen sharing over iChat i'm interested in so dont want to be allowing random chats to take over my machine...

HI,
One setting in the Preferences > General section is about the Status Message getting set to Display an Away Status when your "Away"/Inactive from the computer.
iChat uses what is called the Idle time (It makes your Status go Amber when seen by other people)
This happens 10 mins after the last Keyboard or mouse/Trackpad entry/movement.
It does help to set this so It does not change the status.
Next go to System Preferences > Energy Saver (Second row) and set the Computer Not to Sleep (You can Sleep the Display)

Instant Messaging - EP 6.0.2.3.7

I have installed:
EP 6.0 Service pack 2 Patch level 3 Hotfix 7 (6.0.2.3.7)
WebAS 6.20
J2EE Engine patch level 25
On the following system:
Microsoft Windows 2000 Service pack 3
Pentium III 1400 Mhz
2 Gb RAM
During the installation I faced no error messages and the implementation runs without error logs. Unfortunately, the instant messaging does not work. I see the CLP, but the "auto-detect status" is malfunctioning. Online users are shown as offline. Trying to send an instant message there is happening nothing. I did the configurations for the instant messaging as described at help.sap.com:
1) Displaying the Collaboration Link in the Portal Header Area: OK
2) Configuring Collaboration Services in Collaboration Launch Pad: OK
3) Activating the RTC Session Manager: OK
4) Configure the Groupware Framework: Is Not Used and therefore not configured
5) Configure the Synchronous Collaboration Framework: OK
6) Configure Real-Time Collaboration:
ApplicationSharing_ServerName = myhost
ApplicationSharing_ServerPath = streamingserver/servlet/streamingserver
ApplicationSharing_ServerPort = 50000
ApplicationSharing_ServerSecureMode = 1
ApplicationSharing_Version = 1729
When I call the "myhost:50000/streamingserver/servlet/streamingserver" address I get the following output:
URL : /streamingserver/servlet/streamingserver
Server protocol : HTTP/1.1
Server version : 1729
Registered sessions: 0
Do you have an idea what is wrong?
Thank you!

Did you happen to upgrade J2EE from PL < 19 to PL 19? If so, you may have a problem with the JMS. SAP note 716716 addresses this problem.

Kyle

You removed the "Clock" time on Instant Messages?

With the most recent version, you deleted the "time" stamp at the top of instant messages. Now I can't see what time it is where the other person is located. This is extremely inconveniencing for those of us who communicate with contractors in other time zones, and on the other side of the world. It means a lot more "rudeness" on my part, as I send them messages when it may be 4am. I don't have time to Google what time zone they're in just because Skype decided to reduce its feature set.
How can I get the time stamp back at the top of my instant messages, showing the time of day where the other person is located?
Thank you.
Solved!

Your question: How can I get the time stamp back at the top of my instant messages, showing the time of day where the other person is located?
Community Ambassador Ruwim's answer, while not using the exact words, "Can not be done," provided the resolution: Uninstall the currently installed version and install the previous Skype 6.21.0.104 version.

Receiving Instant Messages on Desktop, Windows Pho...

I am at my laptop and I have Outlook.com open and I have my Windows Phone and I use the desktop app to send a Skype Instant Message. The replies then come back on the desktop app, my phone, and Outlook.com. Is there anyway to have the messages notify me just the device on which I am typing/replying?

Hi and welcome to the Skype Community,
you should already now only receive notifications on the platforms you are actively using. If you haven't been active for a few minutes on any Skype endpoints we'll start sending notifications to all Skype clients again. We've described that change in a blog post in August: http://blogs.skype.com/2014/08/20/skype-chat-notifications-rebuilt-around-you/
