IChat AIM got disconnected.

I was on my iChat aim today then it randomly said "iChat cannot connect with AIM user." I tried changing the port to 443 and nothing happened. This happens sometimes but I'm usually able to fix it but this time its not. All my other users are working but not this one. I tried putting the user that's disconnected into aim.com but it said "cannot log in due to the attempts to try logging in please try again later." I don't know what to do now. Please help.

I'm having this same problem. If i try to initiate an audio or video chat with a windows user it will fail, they will get an error message saying connection error or something along those lines. If a windows user tries to start an audio or video chat with me it will also fail and i would get this long error message...

  • IChat/AIM keeps disconnecting...

    Hey,
    I have a problem with iChat and AIM. Both keep randomly logging me off. When they do, they say that there have been network problems when the connection has been totally fine. I can whiz through the net with Safari but iChat and AIM keep shutting down by themselves. I looked through preferences to see if there was some type of timer or something that would automatically log me off but I can't find anything that would do it.
    Can anyone help? I'd like to stay on AIM and iChat even when I'm idle. Sometimes it logs me off in the middle of a conversation and it just gets really annoying.
    Thanks in advance.

    With an external camera it is possible to set iChat in iChat > Preferences > Video section to automatically launch if the camera is On/attached
    In the iChat > Preferences > Accounts it is possible to set an account name to Login automatically when iChat opens.
    If the Internet is dropped these two setting normally make it reconnect when the connection comes back.
    It was better in iChat 2 though.
    Internal cameras seem not to give the cue to iChat to reconnect as most of the time there are off.

  • Ichat, AIM, Adium frequently disconnect using Airport

    Ichat, AIM, & Adium all frequently disconnect when using Airport. I use a Linksys Wireless Router with an Airport extreme card. When directly connected to the router, I have no problem. Using a PC with Windows XP, AIM operates fine. Safari and Firefox work fine, although sometimes I receive errors connecting to pages, when I try again no problem. Using any of the chat programs, I lose connection, but then can reconnect. After a few times, the AOL servers will prevent login.
    I use COMCAST Cable internet service. My wireless router uses WEP encryption. I would switch to an AIrport Base station, but doubt it would correct the problem.
    I have had this problem previously, but it corrected itself. now it is making chat programs unusable.
    Any ideas?

    Hi John,
    By default Linksys units normally have the IP address of 192.168.1.1
    Is this true for both your units or have you changed one of them ?
    You may only find this out if you connect directly to the Modem one.
    Also you have not said if only one of them is doing DHCP.
    Example pic 3 on this page. This shows this device as getting it own contact IP address by DHCP (like from your ISP). Further down the page in the pic it shows the device is also acting as a DHCP server to the local net.
    If your router is set up like this it could be getting an IP address usng DHCP like this device shows and that would tend to mean that the Modem is acting as a DHCP server as well.
    If both devices still have the default IP addresses you will have conflicts, which probably explians the problems you have.

  • Why does my AIM keep disconnecting in iChat? (MacOSv10.7.5 iChatv6.0.2)

    I have recently updated to Mac OS Lion now at 10.7.5 & cannot upgrade to Mavericks as my machine is just under the requirements. Ever since I have made this upgrade, my AIM accounts on iChat have been logging themselves out in about under 5 minutes. I log them back in, but then same things happpen. To note, my GCHAT & JABBER accounts stay logged in without problem.
    How do I stop this from happening? I have read may of the previous reported issue & the results I have found instructions to delete the preference files com.apple.ichat.AIM.plist & com.apple.iChat.plist which i have done several times (deleting them before quitting & deleting after quit) but to no avail.
    My server setting for both accounts is..
    Server: login.oscar.aol.com
    Port: 5190
    This did not use to happen to me before the LION upgrade. I also use to have CHAX installed, but I have uninstalled it as I know it no longer works with 10.7 & above.
    Any trick here that I am missing?

    HI,
    I have Little Snitch to show me the pop ups to Allow the items for Messages (and previously iChat) when it launches.
    I believe you can set different option other than Allow Forever and Until Quit.
    The drop down shows me this:-
    I thinks that the Until Logout is you as the Mac User login rather than the Apps login to AIM.
    I have not tried using it this way.
    The "Once" item at the bottom might give clearer idea if you had to allow it each time it logged in.
    I am not quite sure what the Console messages is about.
    The URL would most likely be the IP address that you computer is at.
    About ten minutes might be Idle time  if you are not using the Keyboard or Mouse at all.
    Of course this message may have nothing to do with the Network dropping out.
    Something that happens regularly such as fetching Mail might be the cause.

  • OS X Lion - iChat keeps randomly disconnecting me!

    I am using OS X Lion and I love iChat. It combines both simplicity and powerful usage in a nicely designed app. I don't want to use any other alternatives. I want my iChat to work again.
    Has anyone been facing the same problem ? iChat keeps randomly disconnecting!

    Hi,
    In previous version of iChat that could log into AIM with (or without) SSL had two Server names that used to show depending if you used ther SSL or not.
    The names of the server used to change as you selected or deselected SSL
    SSL was added in iChat 4 to the AIM  logins
    The server name was slogin.oscar.aol.com
    It was known that this server seemed to be less stable than the "regular" Server (login.oscar.aol.com)
    This may have been due to the lesser number of server involved with any SSL Logins and any drop at the server end was therefore more noticeable.
    It is also known that AIM require that any dropped SSL connection is manually restarted and should not rely on Automatic reconnection.
    This generally means that if you are using SSL then you will need to do a manual reset and restart of iChat if the connection is lost.
    (hence my suggestion earlier that SSL be turned Off for AIM logins until the Servers had become more stable.
    iChat 6 (in Lion Also automatically changes any account that logs in to AIM to the api.oscar.aol.com server.
    It appears that this server can handle SSL and non SSL logins (there is no name change).
    You can manually change iChat to use the older server variants.

    Are you trying to print through the airport express wirelessly or the built in wireless of the lexmark? If you want to use the airport express, there is no need to mess with the wireless printing on the lexmark at all. The airport express will be easy to set up, all the wireless setups through the printers are a pain.

    Have you restarted your phone?
    If so, try a reset. Press and hold the home & sleep/wake buttons until the screen goes blank, ignoring the power off slider if it comes up.
    Check for the app again after the phone starts back up.

  • Iphoto database got disconnected during thumbnail rebuild; can't open

    iphoto will not access iphoto library.
    OS version is 10.5.8 and iphoto version is 7.1.5.  The iphoto library is on external drive.
    Today when opening iphoto, I was prompted to "Rebuild thumbnail for iphoto".  During that process, the external drive USB got disconnected from our MacBook Pro.  The process failed and produced a Damaged File folder on the external drive.  Within the folder are two files: one is 000095a7 AlbumData.xml and 00009505 live.2.indexPosition file.  I tried to repair database using (Option + Command keys) while opening iphoto but it did not work. 
    I believe that the pictures are still in tack since the library size is same (34.4G).  How can I fix this problem ?

    Restore from back up is the surefire solution.
    Other than that:
    Try these in order - from best option on down...
    1. Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.
    2. Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. 
    3. If neither of these work then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
    To create and populate a new *iPhoto 08* library:
    Note this will give you a working library with the same Events and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
    In the iPhoto Preferences -> Events Uncheck the box at 'Imported Items from the Finder'
    Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
    Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
    Go into the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Event Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
    When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
    In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption. 

  • "Rend Error" when sending image via iChat/AIM

    On my brand new iMac aluminum, I am unable to send, and friends are unable to send, images via iChat AIM 3.1.8 (V445). When either of us try to send, we get the message "An undefined AIM error has occured. The server message was: Rend: Error"
    I then spin around and use my old G4 iMac to send an image - no problem. My buddy is also able to send to me, no problem.
    Both computers are connected to the same Linksys WRT54G router. When I searched for the term 'rend' only one thread came back which suggested to change the port from 5190 to 443. I did this and it didn't help.
    Any other suggestions?

    Hi Craig,
    In the Linksys set up pages you have Application and Gaming (Which is where I think you are talking about)
    In there there are several options.
    Port Forwarding, Port Triggering, DMZ (possibly UPnP Forwarding and QoS)
    Disable any Port Forwarding or Port Triggering. DO not use the DMZ.
    Save settings. (you should still have Web browsing and Mail abilities).
    GO to the Administration tab on the top row.
    Enable UPnP.
    Save Settings.
    UPnP allows multiple computers to use the same ports.
    This way the Linksys can be left doing DHCP if you wish and it will not matter if your computer gets a new IP every now and then. Also the Ports are opened by the application and close after a timed period of non use.
    You can limit the "Hops" to the number of devices the computer is from the Linksys (1 ?) to make it more secure.
    On the main set up page you could limit the the DHCP range to the number of computers you have to prevent outside connections.
    The ports you describe so far are only the TExt chatting and file sending ports
