IChat AIM account "screen name has been suspended"?

I want to use iChat with my friends, but everytime I try to long on it says my first name at the top of the page and that my "screen name has been suspended". How can I fix this?

Report it

  • WTF - How comes my 'screen name' has been changed to M Golding?

    osgood_
    Is this the work of the dappy idiots at Adobe??
    Looks like everyone elses screen name changed over correctly.
    Can we get this changed back?

    Yah! I've updated my name.....no longer M Golding back to  osgood_ (albeit with a . infront of it - name field in Adobe profile can't be left blank)
    I can only think the forum is now applying the Adobe 'name' profile instead of the 'screen name'.....maybe? In that case is there any reason to have a 'screen name' option in the Abobe profile section......humm.
    Now just need to sort out how to see who has replied to the threads without having to open them each time, which defeats the objective if you cant keep track of who is replying without opening the 'door'...........maybe there is an option for that somewhere I'm overlooking?

  • Account Login Name has been changed

    I was wondering how my account name got changed from firstname_lastname to firstname.lastname?!?
    I know I did not change it and I cannot find any help on this topic nor am I able to find a direct customer support email address .... so I am posting this problem here
    I'd appreciate any help that anyone can lend
    Thanks in advance

    can you try to sign out or logout first, then login again using your "firstname_lastname" (username) and password combination?

    Hi,
    I would guess this is  an AIM valid Screen Name such as an Apple issued @mac.com account.
    I would also guess you travel to other countries.
    There have been several posts about @mac.com names and people who travel and use their Screen Name elsewhere having the name Suspended.
    Can you Log in here  https://settings.aim.com/ ?
    Is this where you saw the Suspended message ?
    For AIM issued name the answer is to change your Password as this tends to prove you own the account.
    This does not work for Apple IDs used as  AIM Valid Screen Names as AIM can't tell when the password is changed (They can only see it when you log in)
    AIM's Suspended Account page has an email ([email protected]) on it to contact if your account remains Suspended.
    However you need to be very clear that you have an Apple Issued Name and that you know that resetting the password that works for AIM Names and that you would like them to reset the account.
    More recently this has been a sticking point.  It seems the Contact you get does not always know about the agreement that AIM recognises Apple Issued IDs as Valid Screen Names and that the AIM  servers can only view the passwords at specific times (or at least confirm them) so you changing it will make no difference and that they have to step in manually.

  • Ichat with AOL screen-name/account

    Hi everybody !
    I am connecting to Ichat using my Aol account.
    Everything works fine.
    I just recently realised that my full name would show up
    on any Ichat room screen under request of any other chatter
    making a right click on messages to switch from showing screen-name to full names.
    Does anyone knows a way to avoid this and show only my screen-name ?
    Jean.

    Hi,
    To be a little clearer.
    The people in the Chat room see your Screen Name (Or whatever they have in their Address Book for You)
    A Chat at your end will display the Names (more on type and format in sec) if you select the Show option for this when a Chat Window is Open (it will remember this for future Chats)
    You can Display either your "Handle" (Screen Name) or your Real Name (as you have it in the Address Book at the My Card) in the Buddy list by Clicking on what is currently displayed and choosing from the drop down.
    More.
    In the View Menu when a Buddy List is the front window of iChat you can use the Buddy Name item to Display the Buddies as Real Name, Screen Names or Short Names.
    NOTES: Real Name is what you have entered in the Address Book (Via iChat ADD Buddy or direct)in the First Name, Last Name Boxes.
    Screen Name is always just the Screen Name
    Short Name is the Nickname you may have put in the iChat Info card for that Buddy or their First Name if the Nickname does not exist.
    Yet More.
    If and when a Chat window is Front the View Menu > Buddy Names item can be applied to the Chat Window.
    In can only be set for Chat windows when a chat window is Open (you can open one and not IM anyone)
    Also in the View Menu is Messages.
    In this item you can chose to Display:- Names, Pics or Names and Pics
    The Name format follows what ever you set in the Buddies bit for the Chats.
    Example.
    A second account talking to my Main Account with "Real Names" (Show Full Names) set
    (I created a card that listed myself and Ralph Johns (Main))
    With Short Name (Nickname set in iChat)
    Notice the Screen Name I am talking to still shows at the top of the Chat window in grey
    With "Handle" selected in Buddy Names = Displays the Screen Name
    I created these pics in iChat 4 which means my Buddy Lists all use the same Buddy Pic so in talking to myself I "appear" Buddy Pic-wise as both people.
    The Address Book entry that is created from/by iChat
    From the Three example pics you will see that the Account I am chatting from (on the Right) does not List Names.
    If you change the Style then your Name does appear shown by the same conventions as above to You and only you
    (you will see my Address Card for my Computer actually reads Ralph G4 so I can tell on my MacBook Pro which computer I am on.)
    As shown and previously said by the other poster your Name appears in the Chat only to you but as you have it entered in Your Address Book.
    You also have to be using certain IM style formats to see the Sending Name as well as the Buddies' names, nickname or Screen Names.
    Your Real Name does not get Sent.
    What the other person sees is somewhat dependent on the client they use.
    If it can link to their Address Book and the person has an entry for you it may well display what ever they call you.
    Further Note:
    In iChat 4 and Above you can type /me at the start of a short IM and a action statement also displays the name at your end from the Address Book or the naming convention at the other end.

  • After installing new operating system software, my user account name has been changed and i don't know the password.

    i need help!
    I just installed Mac OS Maverick in my laptop, but when i checked the Users&Groups There are only 2 User name 1 is  "Apple(admin) and 2 is Guest, my user account name has been changed even the password. how can i retrieve my old user account name and password or how can i changed it?

    Here's an updated set of instructions you can try:
    Make sure you are signed into iMessage and FaceTime with your current ID.  If they are signed into the old ID, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and Settings>FaceTime, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with your current ID.
    Then temporarily recreate the old ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  (You should not have to verify the old email account so it doesn’t matter if you no longer have access to it.)  Now go to Settings>iCloud, turn off Find My iDevice and enter your current password when prompted (even though it prompts you for the password for your old ID).  Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll (unless using iCloud Photo Library).  When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Sign Out (or Delete Account if you are not running iOS 8) and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign back in with your current iCloud ID and password (your data will download back to your device).

  • Can't access my email. Receiving error message that my account has been suspended and that I need to contact customer service. How do I get a phone number?

    The details are in the question. Receiving error message that my account has been suspended. Looking for a phone number to call and speak to someone. Or, please have someone call me at '''*removed*'''.
    '''Phone number removed by moderator to protect privacy'''

    Note that mozilla does not have a phone number and would never charge for services, if there is a page that says so, its a lie.

  • Why are certain sites suspended? some of the backdoors for game sites show "This Account has been Suspended" when you try to access them.

    What does "This Account has been Suspended" mean and why are certain sites suspend?

    This is what I get:
    ISP: Be Un Limited
    Organization: Be Un Limited
    Connection: Broadband
    Services: None Detected
    City: Horsham
    Region: West Sussex
    Country: United Kingdom
    It can't be a problem with my ISP or my IP address since it only happens with Firefox. When I try out the same listings with other browsers it doesn't happen. eBay said Firefox must be making it seem as though I am in France. Goodness knows how or why??

  • I keep getting email from Apple telling me that my account has been suspended. It looks genuine but I am having my doubts.

    Hi. I keep getting emails supposedly from apple telling me my account has been suspended. I am probably worrying about nothing. Has anyone else been getting these.

    If in doubt send them to Apple at [email protected]

  • I recently got a message on my screen that says "the name of your computer is already in use on this network. The name has been changed to *

    I recently got a message with an exclamation mark stating "your computer name is already in use on this network. The name has been changed to ______"
    How did this happen, is it phishing, malware, or did someone hit some button on here to change it. I'm hoping that someone else doesn't have access to everything on my computer now. Help!

    Hello RaptorTrish,
    Interesting name!   You don't say what computer you are using, the OS or the nature of the network, home, office etc.    Could you fill in a few details.  
    You are right to be concerned but there is often a simple explanation.

  • Why is iChat saying my screen name is not valid when I've never had a problem before?

    All of a sudden, my iChat will not connect to my mac.com account.  I keep receiving an error message that says "the screen name entered is not valid".  I've never had an issue with this account before. I thought maybe this was because I just traveled abroad yesterday- however, I was successfully able to log into my iChat account when I first arrived, but when I went to login again, I started to receive that error message.  I've used this account in the past when I've traveled abroad and never had an issue.  Why all of a sudden?  Help! 

    HI,
    There does seem to be a glut of people who use their @Mac.com Screen Names in iChat or Message that travel to different countries that then find they cannot login
    Try Logging in here https://settings.aim.com/
    If it says your Account has been Suspended you will need this page
    Use the TOSGeneral email to contact them.
    It seems the people at AIM/AOL that contact you do not always know about the agreement that Apple Issued IDs (@mac.com and @me.com)  are also valid AIM Screen Names.
    They will
    1) Want you to change the password (it will not make any difference to the Flagging of your "account")
    2) tell you they can't find that you have an Account with them (you don't it is with Apple)
    Remind them gently that there is an Agreement with Apple to allow Apple IDs as Valid Screen Names
    That their Servers check the Names and Passwords with the Apple Servers but the Suspended Account Flag is set at their end and they need to Undo it.

  • RSA1 error  Logical system name has been changed for this system

    Hello All,
    Earlier the RSA1 was activated for client 300 on our crm 5.2. after that we changed the client to 500 using SE16 -> Type table RSADMINA / Check Colum BWMANDT -> 500.
    But now when we login to client 500 and execute RSA1 it is showing
    Logical system name has been changed for this system"
    In scc4 we have not made any changes. Can you tell what should be done ? in the pop up it is showing following steps
    Change the name of the logical system (table T000) for client back to SIDCLNT300. This enables you to continue working with the system.
    If you really want to change the logical name, than you can, if and when you:
    change the system name back to SIDCLNT300,
    delete all existing connections between this system and other systems,
    delete all transfer structures that still exist, and
    do not use ALE or Workflow.
    Guys do you know how to fix this ? .
    Also do you know Assignment of Source System to Source System ID (table RSSOURSYSTEM) using RSA1 ?
    Edited by: Sahad K on Mar 17, 2008 10:55 AM

    Hello Hari,
    Both the options you said  cannot be used
    since the logical system SIDCLNT300 is used by client 300 and it cannot be given to client 500.  Also there already exist a logical system SIDCLNT500 which is assigned to client 500.
    I found out the issue. In the table RSBASIDOC  the logical system name that can use rsa1( bw  client )is set as  SIDCLNT300).  Only if we delete that entry and set it to SIDCLNT500 ( 500) we can use it on client 500.
    The solution is specified in /message/3284842#3284842 [original link is broken]
    Let me try the solution 2 and inform you.
    Solution 2:
    You cannot delete the source system. Two cases have to be distinguished:
    The source system still exists.
    Switch to Transaction SM59. Find the destination which has the same name as the logical system of the source system from field SLOGSYS in table RSBASIDOC (see above).
    Such a destination does not exist in Transaction SM59. In this case, you have to create the destination to the source system. Name the destination equal the entry in SLOGSYS from above. Then return to the Administrator Workbench and repeat the deletion.
    The entry exists but a remote login is not possible. Correct the communication parameters.
    Everything works. Change to Transaction SE37, function module RSAR_LOGICAL_SYSTEM_DELETE, Sngl. test. Parameter I_LOGSYS = <log. name of the source system>, I_FORCE_DELETE = 'X'.
    The source system no longer exists or was replaced with another source system with the same IP address.
    Proceed as described in the first case but make sure, that the field 'Target host' contains a not existing server in the maintenance screen of the destination (Transaction SM59). If necessary, change an existing entry. Later when you delete, the system asks you whether you want to delete, although the source system is not available. Select 'Ignore'.
    Incase you have any idea other than this please let me know how to edit the RSBASIDOC table  and change the entry to client 500.

  • What does this mean?  This computer's local hostname "Linda-Daviss-iMac-4.local" is already in use on this network. The name has been changed to "Linda-Daviss-iMac-5.local".

    What does this mean: This computer’s local hostname “Linda-Daviss-iMac-4.local” is already in use on this network. The name has been changed to “Linda-Daviss-iMac-5.local”.
    When I came back to my computer this message was on the screen.  Should I be concerned ? or doing something?

    Sometimes this message means that you have two simultaneous connections to the same local network: probably Ethernet and Wi-Fi. Disconnect the Ethernet cable or turn off Wi-Fi.
    Sometimes it happens because a device that gets its network address from the router wakes from sleep, and the address it was using before has been assigned to another device.
    Rename the computer in the Sharing preference pane.
