Can't download AOL Instant Messaging

After attempting to download and install AIM on a new MacBook Pro, I get the following error from Archive Utility: Unable to unarchive "aim-2.bin" into Downloads. Error 45-operation not supported.
I believe I should be able to install AIM. Any suggestions welcome.

Same as the others - Use iChat and input your AIM screen name, making sure to choose the AIM extension and not the .mac selection.
All your buddies will be automatically downloaded and you'll be up and running in no time. And you'll be much happier with iChat than that old AIM software junk

  • AOL Instant Message PW Error

    Since updating to 10.7.2, I'm getting this annoying pop up error message about AOL instant messaging password error.  The message states: iChat can’t log in to @mac.com because your login ID or password is incorrect.  I don't use ichat and want the message to stop, so what do I do?

    Hi,
    In iChat go to the iChat Menu > Preferences > Accounts
    In here go to the Server Setting tab/Button for your @mac.com name
    Disable (Untick) the SSL option.
    Make sure the NON SSL server reads login.oscar.aol.com
    This is the most common issue if the name worked before.
    The other issue is having a @Mac.com name with a password that is longer than 16 characters.
    If you are just getting around to using the @Mac.com in ICHat you will need to shorten the Password due to the Limit AIM has on checking passwords.

  • How can I get my instant message icon to open? Seems to be stuck.

    I wrote several instant messages this morning on my AirMac. No problem. Went back to read and respond to new IM, but IM icon will not open. If the IM comes in when I am on the computer, I can read it in the upper right hand corner of my MacBook Air before it goes away, but I cannot respond. Can anyone tell me how to open the Instant Message icon?

    Try clicking on the apple symbol at the top left of the screen and chosing "Force Quit" and then close IM.
    Once its closed it should reopen without a problem

  • Can't download iTunes, error message "Key not valild for use in specified state"

    I can't download iTunes, keep getting error message "Key not valid for use in specified state"  I uninstalled and tried reinstalling but same issue.

    For "Key not valid for use in specified state" errors try moving the folder RSA from C:\Users\<User>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Crypto\RSA to say C:\<User>\RSA (just in case there should be a need to restore it) then try installing again. This folder appears to act as a cache and should be rebuilt automatically as required.
    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

  • I just can't send out instant messages????

    well, it really makes me getting mad. I can't sent out any instant message to my friend, i thought that is my question so i just uninstall it and re-install it again, still useless.

    The correct way to target instances m1 thru m10 using bracket notation would be... 
    this["m"+i]
    or even more correctly...
    this["m"+String(i)]

  • AOL Instant Messaging File Transfer Problem

    Hey guys, I recently got a Macbook, I changed from Windows and am just getting used to the layout and everything. I downloaded AIM, and have gone and tried to do File Transfers but a window pops up that prevents me from doing so. I went to Preferences and set all the correct Firewall and Fire Transfer options, yet still, a message comes up, saying
    "The File Transfer with [friend] failed. A proxy connection error occurred.The connection may have timed-out while waiting for your buddy to connect to the AOL proxy server."
    Please help as soon as possible!
    I am deeply grateful.

    First, don't bother with AIM software - Just use iChat. iChat is a Universal app and AIM is not.
    It can use your AIM account. Had you done a file transfer with this person before?
    Some servers don't play well with others, plus if the other user is on AOL software, I haven't been able to ever make that work.

  • How can I print out instant messages I've sent and received on my iPhone?

    I know I can press the Start and Home button and that will take a snapshot of the message....but that just saves the portion of the message that is currently visible in the screen.  If I have a long conversation and want to save and/or print the entire conversation - it there another way to do that?  Thanks in advance!  P.S.  Does the same procedure work on iPad?  thanks.

    This can happen when multple phones are using the same Apple ID for iMessage.  To fix this you have two choices:
    On one of the phones go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with a different ID (note: you can still share the same ID for purchasing in Settings>iTunes & App Stores); or
    On both phones go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and uncheck the email address(es) shown under "You can be reached by iMessage at".

  • How can I download my text messages?

    I want to be able to save a backup copy of my texts and have access to them.   I can't see how to do that.  Please advise

    If you have an Android SMS Backup + - Android Apps on Google Play is a great option, it backs your text messages, pictures and videos all to gmail with a label so they are nicely tucked away unless you want to look at them.

  • Can't download music, get message "the requested keychain was invalid"

    Every time I try to download something from the store, it won't let me. I try to sign in or verify it's me to purchase something and it tells me that there was a problem, the requested keychain is invalid and to open keychain access and run first aid. I can open keychain access, but I don't know how to run first aid. Is this an iTunes problem or a computer problem? I was previously able to do everything on iTunes so I don't know why it is suddenly different. I'm running the latest version of iTunes.

    One of the users I support had the same issue. I tried all of the keychain options, reset, verify, repair, etc. No luck. On another thread I found this:
    1. Locate the /Library/Keychains folder on your hard disk. Be careful not to confuse it with the /Library/Keychains folder in your home folder.
    2. Drag this folder to the desktop.
    3. Enter your administrator name and password when prompted to do so.
    4. Restart the computer.
    It worked. I dragged it to the trash, but it shouldn't make any difference.
    Good Luck.
