IChat AV Auto Accept text messages causes app crash

I'm not sure if anyone is experiencing this but I just started using iChat after years of a hiatus. I noticed that there is an applescript for auto-accepting new text IM messages, a welcomed option.
However, ever since I turned it on, iChat crashes almost every time a new chat is started. Has anyway experienced this and, if so, are there any resolutions other than disabling it?
One thing to note is that I am running the Chax iChat add-on to integrate my AIM and GChat lists into one.
I'm running on a thunderbolt 15" MBP and OS 10.6.7.
TIA!
Brian

Hi,
So the Specs did not get changed :-)
Which version of Chax ?
IF you used the .dmg for the Leopard version  you may have a problem.
In Console (Applications/Utilities) is it managing to save a Crash log for iChat ?
You have to open the reveal triangles

  • Auto Accept Instant Messages

    Is there a way to auto accept instant messages from people? Even ones on my buddy list? I'm getting tired of always having to press accept in order to see more than one line of text

  • Text Messaging alternative apps?

    Does anyone out there recommend any free apps that provide texting through an app without actually having to use standard text messages? I know I can do it through the Google Voice app, but I was wondering if there were any other apps out there. Thanks!

    For what you want (texting without using SMS, but having the recipient receive it as an SMS), Google Voice is the only option I'm aware of.
    If the recipient is another Android user you could always just email their gmail account: those are delivered in real time and would be roughly equivalent to texting...

  • IPhone text messages and apps

    When I check the text messages on my teens phone there is an app that is updating constantly and overrides me being able to see her text messages. Can anyone tell me what that is?and this is when I log onto AT&T to check our bill. It is using up data by updating and sending updates all night long.

    If text messages are sent via iMessage, a free texting service that apple created in iOS 5, they will not show up on an AT&T bill.  As for the excessive data usage, it would make since that social networking would be responsible.  In terms of overriding the texting list, this would most likely be an error within AT&T's network.  I have an iPhone 5 using AT&T and do not have this problem with the detailed billing plan.  You should contact AT&T to cancel your detailed billing plan to save you $10 a month.  If you want to view your teen's text messages, you can link your two apple id's together so you can view any text between your teen's phone and another via your phone.  For more help on this matter, you can contact Apple or reserve a Genius Bar Appointment by using the Apple Store app or www.apple.com. 
    If you have any more details that you would like to share, I can for sure try and find a different solution.  If there is anything else you would like my help on, let me know. 
    Cheers,

  • Text message response apps

    I have a Droid 3 and with all the focus on texting and driving I am looking for an app that me do a couple things.
    1. Read me my text message via Bluetooth(if possible)
    2. Send a canned response to the sender that I will be back to them.
    I was using "DriveSafe.ly" but it didn't work well.  Are there any good, simple alternatives?   It would beat getting a ticket or having an accident.

    Two, but they are pretty expensive:
    1. Cepstral Voices 4.2.0
    2. Infovox iVox - 1.1.
    Or you can wait until Leopard is released which is supposed to have new, more natural sounding voices included according to Apple.

  • How to I get my iPad to not receive text messages and apps from my iPhone?

    After doing the new software update on my phone, computer, and Ipad my Ipad has been linked directly to my phone. I have changed all setting so that it wont share of communicate but in the update process all saved data was removed from my IPAD I went back to Itunes and after the update to that all the backed up information was gone and the cloud didnt have any backed up information in it from the issues they had with the cloud in August. How do I get my Ipad to disconnect from my phone that it wont recieve text messages or anything else associated with my phone?

    You are probably going to have to sign out of/turn off Messages on the phone and the iPad and then start all over again and enable messages on the phone first so that the number is accessible again to use on the iPad in Settings>Messages>Send and Receive at>You can be reached by iMessages at. You need to be able to select your phone number in there.
    This kb article explains it in detail.

  • Isight causing app crash's

    almost anytime i use the iSight, the program im running crashs, and its not like I can restart the app, the arow in the dock stays there, and i cant restart it. The only way to fix has been to log out or reboot, this seems to only have been happening since the 10.4.8 update. and ideas on what this might be?

    For us the problem can be reproduced as follows:
    1. Have a flash.text.TextField with maxChars set to some value
    2. Have Google keyboard installed Google Keyboard - Android Apps on Google Play
    3. Enter text that in length reaches maxChars. Continue typing using the predicted typing. No visible letters will appear, but that's ok.
    4. Then press and hold backspace on the keyboard
    5. See that app crashes.
    Happens both, when IME is in full screen or in non full screen mode.
    Tested on Adobe AIR 15, Sansubg Galaxty S3, Samsung Galaxy S5.

  • Ios6 causing app crashing

    I updated my 3GS to ios 6 the other day and I now seem to have an issue with apps crashing, particularly the Good for Enterprise app which I use for my work email. I also installed this app on my iPad 3 today which also has ios6 and it crashes also.
    At a bit of a loss.... Any suggestions? I know others with the app who do not have this issue, would ios6 have changed any settings perhaps?

    I have now worked out the solution and fixed, so app now up and running again on both devices. I needed to go into the restrictions settings > contacts and turn 'on' for the app in question. This then resolved the crash issue - may help with other apps that people have this issue with.

  • IOS 6.1 causes app crashes

    Hello.
    Since I updated to iOS 6.1 I've had SERIOUS issues with about any app crashing, like Contacts when selecting a contact to view the info.
    And I just downloaded some apps from the store, and well, they all crash... Not directly, but after a few seconds or like Sim City Deluxe, it crashes at the loading screen after the main menu.
    Tried to restore it like 4 times just today, and I think I did it 3 times yesterday.
    I really hope this is solved somehow. Otherwise I'll really regret that I bought this iPhone 4 instead of the ThL W7+ Android phone.
    Regards
    Izaac
    NOTE: It's not jailbroken !

    Finding the same condition here. It appears to be consuming all memory even with no real open apps and anything you try to open crashes either immediately or after a few seconds.
    A reboot seems to get rid of the problem for a while.
    iPhone 4s, iOS 6.1

  • IPhone 4 iOS 4.1 upgrade causing app crashes

    So I updated my iPhone 4 to iOS 4.1 a couple days ago. Since the upgrade I have noticed several apps suddenly close for no reason. I'll be browsing in an app, click a button and all of a sudden I'm at my phone's home screen with no explanation of why the app closed. Apps that are programed for multitasking remember where I was when I relaunch, so that helps.
    Apps that I've taken note of as being "infected" are:
    · The Default Mail Client
    · Safari Web Browser
    · Cars.com
    · Engadget
    · Joystick
    · The Weather Channel
    · Cnet
    · Facebook
    There may have been others, but I don't remember. It's getting frustrating because the phone just goes to the home screen.
    I've reset settings, I've reset the phone. I'm not sure what else I can do and it seems like it's something in the iOS not the apps.
    Anybody else experiencing this particular problem?

    I don't want to do a restore. It's a pain to have to reorganize my folders and install all of my apps. It could take a couple hours to get everything back to the way I want it.
    Is that time worth solving the issue of apps crashing? If it were happening to me, I would think so.
    I will debate doing a restore from backup, but if I don't see an immediate need to restore, then I will deal with the issues until update 4.2 is released for iPhone.
    It doesn't hurt to try doing a restore from backup. Takes no more than 30 minutes in most cases and everything will be just as it was, and perhaps without the crashing problem. You won't know if you don't try it, and this option has a very low risk of creating any further problems. Waiting around another 2 months for another update that may or may not fix your problem seems silly.
    I don't want to mark this as "answered" yet. There is something wrong here with the release or in how itunes and my iphone handled the upgrade.
    There's nothing "wrong" with the release, just how your phone handled the update. Problems sometimes do occur during software updates, and wiping the phone and doing a fresh restore will almost always cure a majority of problems. Had you called Apple or gone to a Genius Bar with this problem, I'll guarantee you that a restore would be #2 on their list of suggestions.
    It is possible that some of the apps were experiencing problems. I received updates for about 5 apps this week. Since I'm new to iphone, I'm not sure the frequency that devs push out updates. The crashes are random and I don't always think to make a mental note of what was happening when the crash happened.
    That depends on the Dev. Some of my apps are updated regularly. Others have been neglected for a year or more.
    In the mean time, should you choose not to do a restore, all I can suggest is to reboot your phone often, keep an eye on the multitasking and keep the number of background apps to a minimum and to try deleting the offending apps from the phone and re-downloading them.
    Good luck.

  • Threaded Anchored Text Boxes Causing Problems (Crashing)

    I have a set of three anchored styled text boxes inside my primary text flow. Indesign seemed to allow this, but is now having trouble after I resized the Primary text frame and pinched these anchored boxes. The documnet is now in overset after the set of three and indesign is crashing whenever I touch them. It's holding my document hostage.
    I've tried: Pasting the whole document into a larger formatt file, or Cutting out the set of three and they all shut down the program.
    Has anyone else had this problem or am I missing something else?

    Have you tried exporting to IDML and open it again?

    GasBag itself crashed for me after a few days use. No map screen came up after launch (3G-2.2) and the iPhone froze for some time.

  • IChat Auto Accept Chats?

    Can i get iChat to auto accept calls from only me, which ever remote username i am using? i see it auto accepts but only me. i am the only one i nthe buddy list so is that a way?
    is it safe that if i dont allow anyone else to join my buddy list then its safe to auto accept as its only me thats calling? Its the screen sharing over iChat i'm interested in so dont want to be allowing random chats to take over my machine...

    HI,
    One setting in the Preferences > General section is about the Status Message getting set to Display an Away Status when your "Away"/Inactive from the computer.
    iChat uses what is called the Idle time (It makes your Status go Amber when seen by other people)
    This happens 10 mins after the last Keyboard or mouse/Trackpad entry/movement.
    It does help to set this so It does not change the status.
    Next go to System Preferences > Energy Saver (Second row) and set the Computer Not to Sleep  (You can Sleep the Display)
