Can't Set Proxy Server For AIM Account

Hi!
In the Messages application, the AIM account has a Server Settings tab where one can opt to connect using a proxy. However, with Mavericks I have found that anything I enter in that field is instantly wiped out. The console logs a message each time:
11/21/13 3:29:25.055 PM Messages[5215]: [Warning] *** API client requested a modification of key "ProxyHost"  to be "myproxy", this is being ignored, please file a radar
where "myproxy" is anything one enters into the field.
Any advice?

Hi,
This issue goes way back in to the history of iChat.
It has never been that good at connecting using Proxies.
It has does slightly better if using the System Settings.
I don't use Proxies and so have never spent any time working though this.
Basically iChat and Messages connecting via a Buddy List is via the AIM servers but is almost Peer-to-Peer in process.
Connections are very linear particularly for Video and Audio chats to the extent that connecting to your router with Ethernet and Wifi is enough to cause issues.
Whilst starting up the app also contacts Apple to test bandwidth (Internet Speed) and support things ready for Video and Audio chats.
It is not just a case of Logging in to AIM.

  • Port 993 error message, now can't set up MacMail for GMail account.

    I've been using MacMail for years without a problem. Recently a little exclamation point came up with an error message indicating that the server couldn't connect with the 993 port for my Gmail account. After trying to update my software, restart the program, etc etc I deleted the account, thinking I'd just recreate a MacMail connection to my Gmail account. Not I'm receiving an error message that the server imap.gmail.com is not responding, and I can not set up a MacMail account linked to my Gmail.
    I've seen lots of people with this problem, but no sufficient answers to correct it. I am not using a portable device, I am using my iMac to try to make this happen.
    Please help! Any incite is much appreciated.
    Thank you.
    Emily

    Hi Emily,
    For port 993, is SSL checked & authentication = Password?
    Could this be it?
    Gmail send but not receive...
    Here are two steps that have come in handy in related situations
    1) login to gmail on your computer or device via a web browser
    2) once logged in successfully, go to this URL to unlock:

  • HI THERE I HAVE TO I PODS WITCH WERE GIVE TO ME FROM A FAMILY MEMBER CAN I SET THEM UP FOR AN ACCOUNT FOR ME BUT I DONT HAVE THE OLD ACCOUNT DETAILS

    hello there i have been givin a i pod classic from my brother and want to know can i set up a apple acount even if i dont have his account details

    The procedure is Settings>Messages>Send & Receive at>You can be reached by iMessages at>Add another email address. The email address has to be a valid working email address, obviously. Apple should verify the email address and you have to go to the inbox of that email account, read the verification email from Apple and follow the inductions in the email in order to complete the verification. Then you go back to the settings, uncheck your email address and check the new email address to be used as the contact email address.

  • Can I set up icloud for one account on multiple PCs?

    Before I start using iCloud, I wanted to know if it would do what I really want it to do.  I have a person Windows 7 PC at home that I do most of my picture scanning and I have a work PC runing Windows XP, where I do most of my iTunes purchasing.  I also have an iPad that I use for everything I can including modifying documents using Pages. 
    I want to know the following:
    1. can I have the two different PCs set up to the same iCloud account so that they transfer things between them and to my iPad?
    2. can make changes to a document in Pages on my iPad and then instead of using iTunes as I do now, use iCloud to get it to one of my PCs so I can work on it more?
    Thanks

    No, you have to set up your account on your device.

  • "do not use proxy server for local (intranet) addresses" IEM setting

    Hi, i would like to find out where can i find the following setting in GPO which used be found in IEM.
    "do not use proxy server for local (intranet) addresses" Enabled/Disabled
    as currently im setting the IE proxy exception list via GPP, i don't see that option.

    Hi,   
    As you notice that when we use GPP Internet Setting item to configure bypass proxy servers, there is no "do not use proxy server for local (intranet) addresses" option in GPP Internet
    Setting item. However, as suggested by zanderol24’s reply, we can use bypass proxy server for local addresses option under
    Proxy server to achieve the same function.

  • How can i set a path for my deployment files in weblogic server 10.3

    Hi
    How can i set the path for my WAR ,JAR files while deploying.i am using the wls10.3 version.
    is there any scripts for this ,please provide me.
    my Application is ADF 11g application.

    By "path", I assume you mean "classpath".
    The simplest way is simply to include the jars you need inside the web application or web module's WEB-INF/lib directory, EJB module's META-INF/lib directory, or EAR lib directory.
    If that's not practical, if you use NodeManager to start your servers, you can go to the "Server Start" tab in the server definition in the WebLogic console and edit the "Classpath" field, which defaults to no value. You can specify a classpath value there. Note that if you specify a value there, it REPLACES the default classpath for the server, it doesn't add to it. If you need to just add to it (a much more likely scenario), if the value references the value "$CLASSPATH" in it, that will reference the original classpath value that the server would have had.
    So, for instance, if you wanted to include the MQ jars in the server classpath, you could set a value like this:
    /usr/java/mq/lib/mq.jar:/usr/java/mq/lib/mqstuff.jar:$CLASSPATH

  • I am a US resident but spend several months each year at my house in England. Is it possible for me to download UK iPad apps from the iTunes Store? Right now they seem to be restricted. Can I set up an alternate iTunes account using a UK credit card?

    I am a US resident but spend several months each year at my house in England. Is it possible for me to download UK iPad apps from the iTunes Store? Right now they seem to be restricted. Can I set up an alternate iTunes account using a UK credit card?

    When you go to Starbucks, you'll need to first go to Settings on your iPad and choose Network. You'll see ATTWIFI as one of the available networks. When you click on that to select it, you should be immediately sent to AT&T's sign in page. You just need to check the box that says you agree to their terms and conditions and then hit the Connect button and you'll be online. One warning, however. If your Starbucks is anything like those in Manhattan, be prepared for really slow wifi. It can be a real pain waiting for pages to load sometimes.

  • How to set a Proxy Server for appletv

    The network I'm on requires that I set a Proxy server to get out to the internet.
    Is there anyway to specify a Proxy server for AppleTV?

    Hi Red-Baron,
    The Apple TV does not support Proxy Server configuration (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305010). An alternative is to enable internet sharing on a computer and have the Apple TV connect to that computer.

  • Can you set different sounds for different incoming email accounts?

    Can you set different sounds for different incoming email accounts? Example, I have multiple email accounts on Mail. I would like the sound for my roadrunner account to be different from my .mac and personal website accounts. Is it possible to configure this or is there a script out there that someone knows about.
    Thanks

    You could choose None in Preferences > General > New Mail Sound and set up a rule for each account in Preferences > Rules as follows:
    If [any/all] of the following conditions are met:
    [Account] [AccountName]
    Perform the following actions:
    [Play Sound] [Sound]
    Problem is, that would cause the sound to be played for junk mail as well — probably not what you want.

  • How to set multiple senders for one account

    Hi all,
    I have a BIS account with my provider and a paid gmail account which collect for me mails from different address. Is it possible to set multiple senders for this account, thus it seems that I'm replying from one of these address and not only from my google address? In fact, it's important for me also that all mails come out from the same SMTP server (google).
    Thanks in advance.
    Best regards,
    Pierluigi

    For the BlackBerry to "send using" a specific email account, it must be set up on your BIS account as an email account, otherwise, you can send from that account.
    You can do that, and then block ALL incoming emails from those accounts, and allow only incoming mail from your one Gmail account, if you desire.

  • How can i import contacts from another AIM account to this new one

    If you reference my last ichat question, you will see that I have had serious problems and had to create a new account.
    How can I import contacts from another AIM account to this new one??

    Hi,
    Use AIM for Mac and use the Export and Import features.
    Other than that it is a question on making sure every Single Buddy has more than just their Screen name in the IChat Address Card so it is added to the Address Book and dragging them back from there

    I am using a work laptop and have the same problem. When I try to change the "configure proxy", they only available option is "use this proxy server for all protocols". Could it be that my system administrator blocked me from changing it since they don't want us to use Firefox.
    == User Agent ==
    Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Windows NT 5.1; Trident/4.0; GTB6.4; FNGP_SYS)

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the ''Safe mode'' start window.
    You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (on Mac: "Firefox > Quit")

  • Can you have multiple users for one account?

    Can you have multiple users for one account? if so how do you set it up.
    We are using it for our department and it would be great to see who created what form instead of it being all one name.

    Each person should have their own account. You can easily share the forms with other people in your department. You will be able to see who the author of the form is.
