Cant add jabber account to messages app

Hi,
When I try to add a new account to Messages the only option for an account is yahoo. My other machines allow jabber, aim etc but the only option i get on this machine is yahoo.
Perhaps the preferences have gone awal I have tried deleting them in the library to no avail.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

First, make sure that Parental Controls are not enabled for the account. If not, continue.
Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, or by a peripheral device.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including Wi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

Unable to re-add gmail account to Mail app

I'm trying to re-setup a Google email account that I deleted from my Macbook Pro (Yosemite). I get the following message when trying to set it up in Internet Accounts:
There was a problem setting up the Mail account.
Mail couldn't discover the account settings for the Mail server "mydomain.com".
If I click OK, my contacts, Calendar, and Messages accounts are all configured. Only the Mail account isn't checked (or setup in Mail). When I try to check the box, it immediately unchecks with no error given.
I noted the following log entries in the system log, not sure if they are related:
11/9/14 1:23:38.770 PM com.apple.preferences.internetaccounts.remoteservice[3960]: Neither of UserNameIsEmailAddress or UserNameMatchesEmailAddress were set for [email protected], pretending that UserNameMatchesEmailAddress is set

(The connection to service named com.apple.CrashReporterSupportHelper was invalidated.) UserInfo=0x7fb90b4236d0 {NSDebugDescription=The connection to service named com.apple.CrashReporterSupportHelper was invalidated.}
I've tried setting the account up manually ("Add Other Account...") but that also failed. I've tried repairing within Disk Utilities. I've restart multiple times.
I've verified that IMAP is enabled for this account. I am able to set this account up in the third party app Postbox (another email client for mac) with no issues.
There must be something wrong with my local configuration and I'm out of ideas. Help?

precisely the same issue on 2 computers on 10.9 and 10.10
- the accounts are google apps for business accounts
- imap is on
- 2 step verification is off
- upgrading the 10.9 machines resulted in the same issue/error
- running onyx and cleaning out everything did nothing
- trashing mail prefs nothing
- creating new user account on the macs...same issue
- i can setup the accounts on my own 10.10 machine (ios also works for those 2 accounts)
completely dead in the water....my next step to try is to clean install the 2 effected machine....

Video chat & Screensharing unavailable with Jabber account in Messages

Dear all,
I use Messages to connect to 2 Jabber services: Google Chat and Facebook Chat.
I've read that Messages can deliver Screensharing and Video Chatting services for Jabber account. However I've never seen this option next to friends' name in Buddy Lists (seperate list). And whenever I select a friend's id (in GChat or FChat), there's always one available action possible: start conversation, and the buttons for starting video chat or screensharing (at the bottom of the buddy list window) are always greyed-out.
After much reading on this site I've still not found out the answer. Can someone helps me on this point ?
Thanks a lot,
M

HI,
A Jabber specific App or a Web Browser with the Google Video Chat Plug-in can do Video chats using the Jingle Protocol that Jabber apps use.
At one time Google seemed to use Flash to do Video chats and there have been reported conflicts with having both Flash and the Google Plug-in active for your web browser.
To state this another way.
Jabber apps tend to be a collection of modules. One of these is the Jingle Library for Video Chats.
Google include this Protocol in their Video Plug-in for web Browsers.
I don't have a Facebook account and cannot tell you if Facebook uses Flash or a similar plug-in for web browsers.
iChat and Messages use a protocol called Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) to make Audio Only, Video and Screen Sharing Connections.
SIP is used with Voice over IP apps (VoIP) such as software phones that can use SIP.
Skype also uses SIP but is not compatible with iChat or Messages
What this means is that iChat/Messages will Video or Audio Only or Screen Share to other Macs using iChat or Messages apps irrespective if they are using Jabber based or AIM based names/IDs
What it will not do is connect to PCs using the standalone App called GoogleTalk or to Web Browser logins (on any Platform) of Jabber apps on any platform.
So a Login to Google Chat via a Login to Google Mail's Web Page or iGoogle with the Video Plug-in is likely to show you your Buddies available for Video chats where as iChat to Messages will not.
As Facebook is also a Jabber server the same things will apply.

Cant add hotmail account to Mail on Iphone 4S

I have recently reset an old iPhone 4s 32gb for work purposes, and am trying to set up my email account.
Ive tried using the 'exchange' account however shows up saying "Outlook Account" Unable to verify account information.
So ive tried using other in the hopes of adding it, and its coming up saying - A WINDOWS LIVE HOTMAIL PLUS SUBSCRIPTION IS REQUIRED TO USE HOTMAIL ACCOUNTS WITH MAIL. VISIT
GET.LIVE.COM/MAILPLUS/FEATURES FOR DETAILS. YOU CAN ALSO ACCESS YOUR HOTMAIL ACCOUNT ON THE WEB AT MAIL.LIVE.COM
Ive tried visiting the above website and I get nothing, saying its offline or something.
I select Next, and it goes through the stage saying 'verifying' and it comes up with another pop up saying" The POP server "pop3.live.com" is not responding. Check your network connection and that you entered the correct information in the "Incoming Mail Server" field. I select OK. I try and Re-Save the info, which goes through "verifying" again, and it comes up with;
Cannot connect using SSL. Do you want to try setting up the account without SSL?
Yes or No?
My passwork is correct? I have no idea why this is becoming an issue, when before the reset everything was working perfectly.

Short answer: when you are in settings, add email account, scroll down to outlook.com and use this to enter your hotmail account. Hope it works for you.

The connection to Microsoft Exchange is unavailable. Outlook must be online or connected to complete - Cant add Outlook accounts

Hi have recently started getting the following error message when setting up new accounts with Outlook 2007:
The connection to Microsoft Exchange is unavailable. Outlook must be online or connected to complete this action.
Outlook then prompts me to enter the username and password, i do so and get message again. This happens on Windows XP Professional and Vista, i cannot setup any accounts for new machines.
Points to note are that OWA works fine, and previous users who are already setup work fine also. It seems to be limited to setting up new Outlook 2007 accounts.
It can find the username fine. It comes up with green ticks underr the Online Search for your server settings:
Establish Network connection
Search for [email protected] server settings
Long on to server ---------- then it fails with a big red cross at this point
Recently i did add a second mail server to the network but it was not configured to talk to the other main mail server which was handling all the functions of mail box, CAS, hub transport. I had installed all the same roles on the second server with a view to move it across and retire the old server, the second machine is a different machine name from the main mail server. In summay my servers are:
svr001              Server 2003 R2 Enterprise x64 domain controller
mail                 Server 2003 R2 Enterprise x64 non-domain controller with exchange 2007 SP1
mail001            Windows 2008 Enterprise x64 non-domain controller with exchange 2007 SP1
The main box "mail" has been fine until i recently introduced this new server "mail001" into the network.
I am really stuck now and would really appreciate any pointers or steps to debug the above.
Many thanks,
Chris

The FIX IT here
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=319206 works, but only for a user who's already logged in (if you just run the fix it program and do nothing else). To make it work for all users you'll need to manually edit the registry as it says in the article.
To force Outlook to use a pre-defined global catalog server, use the following steps to set the following special registry parameter to point to the Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN). Doing this over-rides any setting in the MAPI profile.
Click Start, and then click Run.
In the Open box, type regedit.exe, and then click
OK.
Locate and then click the following key in the registry:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Exchange\Exchange Provider
Note You may have to create the registry path.
On the Edit menu, click Add Value, and then add the following registry value:
Value name: DS Server
Data type: REG_SZ (string)
Value data: FQDN of the global catalog server
This allowed me to roll out a bunch of laptops and not have to worry about running the Fix It for each user.
update: Sysprep seemed to remove fix. Each time a new user logged into a newly imaged laptop (on domain) same error about Outlook 2007 cannot connect to Exchange. Have tried just about everything, but all I seem to be able to do is run this stupid
Fix it each time. Luckily I don't have 1000 machines to setup because then I'd be screwed.

Cant add Competitors on Mobile Phone App CRM 2015

I'm currently configuring the mobile phone app for CRM 2015 online.
The issue i'm having is that i cant seem to add competitors, either directly or to an existing Lead or Opportunity. Although the entity appears in the lead and opportunity records, it only shows already added competitors (which were added via the browser
or tablet app). I don't seem to have the option to add new competitors within the mobile phone app as the little "+" symbol at the top of the form is not present.
I have the competitors entity enabled for the mobile phone app and tablet app. the tablet app works fine.
I've also noticed that competitors entity appears on the tablet home page navigation but not on the mobile home page.
Any suggestions?

This is very urgent. I have to submit the app in 2 days. Doesn'y anyone have any idea about this?? Please Help

I can't sign in to my Yahoo account in Messages.app., I can't sign in to my Yahoo account in Messages.app.

I've tried trashing the com.apple.ichat.yahoo plist files, trashing the entries in my keychain for Yahoo, and deleting and recreating the Yahoo internet account. Nothing seems to work. Little Snitch says that IMServicePluginAgent is accessing login.lga1.b.yahoo.com. I've tried disabling Little Snitch as well, but I don't think that's the problem, because I installed Little Snitch to diagnose this problem.
This is on a Retina Macbook Pro 15" running Mavericks (OS X 10.9).
I would appreciate any pointers/ideas.

Hi,
Have you had the Yahoo account working in iChat 6 or Messages 7.x.x ?
I see any-api.login.lga1.b.yahoo.com in my Little Snitch (menu bar drop down)
The Pop up to accept listed api.login.yahoo.com which is what the app lists as the Login server.
There are others as well (Buddy pics and the like)
Network Monitor pic
Little Snitch rules pic
My Yahoo account is signing without any issues.
You also seem to have done the most common things to sort this.
Close Messages and FaceTime if open
Try opening Activity Monitor in Application/Utilities and find imagent (it will be in lower case and have no icon)
Highlight and then use the Quit option top left then confirm a Force Quit.
You may see the item restart straight away at the top of the list.
Try a Message restart now.

N8 cant add Hotmail account?

When my Anna-N8 sudenly stopped syncing Hotmail, I deleted the account to add it again (as recomended by Nokia in this forum). But now I just get a notification saying "Service unavailable at the moment. Please try again later" (my translation from Swedish) when I try to set up the Hotmail-account.
Any ideas?

This has happened to me too. It's so frustrating. Everything was working fine until 23/09, then nothing. It wouldn't sync so I deleted the account from my phone and tried to reinstall but it won't connect to the servers and it tells me to set up some 'mail for exchange' thing.

Have set IMap to 993 & SMTP to 465, still cant add Rogers account

Rogers.com is not recognized by Thunderbird and entering the approved POP, IMAP and SMTP values is not sufficient to get the account registered. Others have this problem; is there no solution?

Well Thunderbird could not communicate with Rogers in the wizard, what would change now. Of course it will not work.
You have not identified or corrected the original issue, which in all probability is your anti virus. Nortons in particular, but almost all anti virus programs these days come with a firewall that blocks the communication process between Thunderbird and the server. So check your firewall component and make sure Thunderbird has full access to all ports on the internet.
Then disable mail scanning in your anti virus program. Reboot and then see if it works.
