IChat 4 does not accept any more AIM contact!

I bought Leopard the day of its release, and the problem seemed to apeared since then. When I click on the + button, to add a new contact, I choose the contact in my list, then I click okay. The contact appear in the Ofline Buddies list, but after a few seconds, it disapear. If my contact is online at this moment, I can talk with him without problem (even if his name disappear of my list and I need to readd him the next time I'll want to talk with him), but if he's offline, even if I try to add and add and add my friend, it dosen't work more than few seconds...
Thanks for the help!

As mwu has said this seems to be Leopard related.
Whether it is some quirk of the app and the com.apple.AIM.plist that handles the info about your AIM login or whether it is something to do with the AIM servers and the SSL login iChat can now do is unclear.
At times you may notice a very quick flash of a message at iChat launch that implies at first you can not Login Into AIM.
If you then check iChat > Preferences > Accounts > Server Settings you will often see that iChat is not using the SSL login.
If you change it back by Login out of AIM first and clicking the SSL button you will find the server name changes slightly as well.
If yo try to login under SSL again you may find the AIM SSL server is not responding.
It is unclear if this is the Server end or an iChat thing.
You can try deleting com.apple.ichat.plist to see if things improve as some people report that it does. (Users/(your account)/Library/Preferences)

  • Computer crashes/hangs and does not accept any command?

    why after opening Windows, computer crashes and does not accept any command?
    only solution (compromise) which I found is to disconnect and reconnect the PC unit; Windows runs properly after the surgery to close it; next morning found the same problem...

  • My Home Sharing does not work any more after latest iTunes update

  • Hello, the 'Save As' dialog box used to allow the backspace button to go up one level in the directory when the focus is in the folder contents box but it does not work any more, please help.

    Hello, the 'Save As' dialog box used to allow the backspace button to go up one level in the directory when the focus is in the folder contents box but it does not work any more, please help. BTW the same 'Save As' dialog in other applications still allow the backspace button to go up one level in the directory.

    cor-el,
    I kept forgetting and procrastinating about following your instructions, since I have internet access only for limited amounts of time and usually I am busy with important tasks when I am.
    Out of the blue, the problem corrected itself (the Save As box started to open full screen, then shrunk down to a normal size and the edges can now be dragged to a custom size).
    Even the copy and paste problem in the filenaming area seems to have been less troublesome lately even though there have been no updates to Firefox in a few weeks.
    Even though I marked the solution as not helpful, the problem has in fact been resolved. I will save the solution instructions in case the issue returns.

  • My Photoshop Elements does not start any more. It gives response "Photoshop elements cannot start or continue because of missing file(s). Please reinstall." How do I get the installing file again (I bought it via internet the first time december 2013?)

    My Photoshop Elements does not start any more. It gives response "Photoshop elements cannot start or continue because of missing file(s). Please reinstall." How do I get the installing file again (I bought it from Adobe via internet the first time december 2013?)

    Did you download the Basic/Free version?
    I also thought the Trial period was as long as you needed!?
    What is your Warranty and Return Policy?
    You get to use VueScan for as long as you want before you buy it, so we recommend you test it before you buy it to make sure it meets your needs.
    All sales are final and there are no refunds.
    Isn't this a bit harsh? Naah I actually prefer to solve problems, and if I offer refunds, people give up too easily. If I can't solve your problem after you send a few Problem Reports (see above), I'm happy to give a refund.

    I would make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store because of the shock issue. I doubt it was caused by the update.

  • Ipod shuffle does not repond any more

    The ipod has worked for four months, though i havent used so frequently. And to day it does not respond any more or can not be found when inserted in may mac (OSX) or my pc (XP), they have both "high-power USB" and "high-speed USB", have also tried in a number of other pcs an macs with the same result. The Mac and the PC cant even find the ipod as an USB memmory/removable memmory, incredible!!!. Since it is not responding i cant make any "restore", and the restor seems to be the final solution to fix whatever problem got the ipod to get lame. The version on itunes is 6.

    you're not the only one........i'm having the same problem
    Here's my scenario,
    i got my ipod shuffle from an electronics store in the states during the week of 4th of July 2005; however, i'm from Toronto, Canada.........Canadian citizen. I tested out my ipod shuffle @ my cousins computer before i left, which worked. Took it to Toronto (my hometown).......and I was enjoying it. Almost a month of using it, the battery was almost getting low and it needs to be charged. I got my new computer (Windows XP pro) between August 18-24. I wanted to add more songs plus charge the shuffle on the computer. I followed the instructions just like @ my cousins house and u know what........my new computer did not recognize the shuffle at all. itunes was available, however. I tried it again another day...putting the shuffle on another USB, still not recognizing.......i noticed there was an orange light blinking and i took it off the computer. I thought it was broken....songs were still there. Few hours later.....it's not functioning anymore!!!!!!! I tried everything: updating, restoring.....on/off still ain't working. I tried to chat with an Apple representive....no luck.
    What should i do? Should i go to the Apple store and ask them what's wrong with my ipod.
    There's only 1 Apple store in Canada......and its in Toronto,Ontario. Its far from my house.....located near the west-end.
    Plz give me advise ASAP...............!

  • Green light does not flash any more

    Hello guys can you please help me my green light does not flash any more and my blackberry has been slower than the word slow since ever the light is not flashing

    Does the shuffle still play?
    When it is connected to USB and the light is blinking orange, that mean DO NOT DISCONNECT - Eject shuffle in iTunes before physically disconnecting.  If you do that (click the eject button in iTunes), but leave the shuffle connected to USB, the shuffle's light should become solid (not blinking).  Solid orange light means shuffle is charging.  If it's red, the shuffle may have a problem with charging.  Does the SOLID light eventually become GREEN (battery fully charged)?
