Ichat problem sending message

I can log on to ichat (using my AIM screen name) but then am unable to send or receive messages. When I try to IM someone it closes and I get an error message and am signed off. Ideas of what to do?

        Hello llm007!
    That is quite a strange issue. What make & model phone do you have? When did this begin? Are you able to make & receive calls? You can troubleshoot this issue http://vz.to/12TLCsR on our website to get things working as quickly as possible.

  • Problem Sending messages on some sites.

    Hi, I have the 64GB playbook and it worked fantastic for 2months I have had no problems with it at all until this past week when the software updated.
    Now on some sites and msn messenger when I type out my message and press the enter key to send the message it does not send, instead it drops me down to the next line like enter does on here.
    The rest of the websites work fine, just the 1 problem with the enter key but it is a major nuisance and renders the whole websites useless if I cannot send messages.
    Please does anybody know anything I can do? It worked fine before the recent update when i pressed enter it sent the messages.

    I see the same problem:

  • N96 problems sending messages; phone attempts to r...

    Hi there
    I have read most relevant topics on here bu haven't managed to find a solution.
    Around 3 days ago my phone just started having porblems sending messages.. it moves the message to the outbox and the little sending msg icon appears on the top right hand side as normal. It says "sending" as normal, but 9x out of 10 the error message "resend at so n so time" appears.
    Some friends have said they receive the message, but receive it around 3 or 4 times.. i'm guessing this is when ive left the phone after pressing send and the phone goes into "resend mode".
    Ok things I've done:
    My sim works fine in another handset ( samsung one), no problems sending msgs
    another o2 sim works fine in my handset :/
    the msg centre number is fine, i've done the whole cleaning the sim/phone as recommended on o2's website..
    i've refreshed my connection to the network too.
    So what else could it be?
    Thanks in advance

    I've restored to factory settings and reapplied my back up, everything seems to have restored except my messages, bookmarks havent either..  :s
    I've even tried reapplying the bacup but just selecting messages...

  • Problem sending messages

    Hi, I have just started nit being able to send messages. It says they are queueing?
    In my data section it looks like the messaging app is full? How do I correct this please
    Thanks.

    It could be a network coverage issue.

  • IChat can send messages but doesn't receive them(5.0.1)

    Hello there. My iChat 5.0.1 doesn't allow me to receive messages from anyone but allows me to send to them. I've tried re-starts of the application and computer but to no avail. This problem just showed up recently and I had no problems after updating to 10.6.2.
    Any help would be totally appreciated.
    Thank you.

    Hi,
    Have you changed you router or modem recently ?
    iChat Loins by Default on port 5190 using the TCP Protocol
    It also uses port 5190 on the UDP protocol for File Sending and Pics in Chats and some Group chats.
    Some modems and router do not like this dual se of the port and it pays to log the Screen Name out and go to iChat > Preferences > Accounts > Server settings and change the port to 443
    Also check in iChat Preferences > Alerts
    Change the top drop down to Receive IMs and then check the Apple Script Option is not active and using Auto-Decline.

  • HTTP Adapter - Problem sending message to XI.

    Hi,
      We have configured a scenario in IR and ID for the HTTP -> XI -> RFC message flow. We have created all the configuration objects (Receiver determination, receiver agreement, interface determination) in ID except the Sender Agreement (There is no Sender HTTP Adapter). So to trigger this interface we are sending the message to the following URL using a client HTML page.
    http://IPAddr:8000/sap/xi/adapter_plain?namespace=http://sap.com/xi/XI/TestPOC/r3&interface=MI_File_RFC_WeyPOC&service=SourceBS_XI&QOS=BE&sap-user=J2EE_GUEST&sap-password=JGUEST&sap-client=001&sap-language=EN
    After submitting the contents in HTML page, it is asking us SAP Web Application Server user id and password. Which user id shall we give here. We have tried giving the J2EE_ADMINISTRATOR user id and it's password but it gives "the requested resource does not exist" error messgage.
    How to resolve this problem ?
    Thanks and Regards,
    Lalit.

    Hi Lalit,
    try the xiappluser or a copy of it, like Sudhir said.
    But there is something else...
    You must code special characters such as forward slash (/), hyphen , period (.), or colon ( with escape characters (for example, %2F for /, %2D for -, %2E for .,and %3A for :).

  • IChat Lion Sends Message while I'm typing...

    First off, I used to have ChatX on my iChat before I updated to Lion.
    Now that I updated, while I am typing a message, say, "How are you?"
    While I am typing it out, bits and pieces get sent automatically when I don't even finish typing it and hit ENTER key.
    It looks like this in the chat window:
    How are
    How are you
    How are you?
    It's like every 2 seconds someone is hitting an imaginery ENTER key and the message gets sent through.
    Any help would be apprecaited

    Hi,
    Go to the iChat > Preferences > Accounts.
    Highlight the Bonjour one.
    Disable the Send as I Type option.
    For some reason the Yahoo Account can "See" this setting and uses it
    (AIM on the PC app have "Real Time" that is supposed to do the same thing but it does not work to iChat and iChat does not do it to AIM on PC Buddies)

  • Mavericks Messages problem sending message: "not registered with iMessage"

    I'm on MacBook Air(MBA) and recently installed Mavericks. I try sending a message from MBA MESSAGES to a person's cell phone number (they have an android phone). Their name appears in red and I get: "...is not registered with iMessage." So I was trying to read discussions in here and allot of them say Messages won't work unless a person has an Apple device- iphone, Mac, etc. I want to know if that is true or if there is any other way to send from the MBA a message to them? I also tried from Messages on MBA to their gmail address, which they use on their android cell phone, and get same error.
    Is there anyway a non-apple person can "register with iMessage" if they have an android phone?
    I know I can email them, but I wanted a fast way for emergency purposes to get a MESSAGE to them from my MBA. Sometimes they can't talk on phone at some times, but are allowed to get instant message for emergency where they work.

    Hi,
    You have to have otr get an AIM or AIM valid name.
    AIM stands for Aol Instant Messenger.
    Apple IDs issued by Apple (Those ending in @mac.com or iCloud issued @me.com and @icloud.com) are valid as AIM Screen Names if the password is kept to 16 characters or less. (this is an AIM server limit)
    Apple made an Agreement with AOL over the use of names over 10 years ago.
    The Original .Mac ID (@mac.com) could be paid for  or could be Trial Accounts.
    Trial Accounts continued to work after the trial ran out. (i.e. the email stopped but the AIM Screen Name didn't).
    The same was true of lapsed accounts.
    When MobileMe started people could link, email-wise, their paid for .Mac accounts to the paid for MobileMe (@me.com) accounts.
    Any @mac.com still works over the AIM service.
    Now also @Me.com names worked - meaning some people had two valid AIM names - they are not liked for use with AIM just that the passwords will be the same.
    With the end of MobileMe all those @me.com account died as far as AIM is concerned.
    However you could link it to iCloud which effectively moved it to the iCloud server.
    (i.e. they are iCloud issued @me.com ID instead of MobileMe ones)
    Then Apple started to issue @icloud.com IDs
    This could mean that some people have three working IDs for use with AIM (but all linked to one email Account at Apple).
    NOTES
    From Lion onwards (iChat 6 and Above) Apple have had the app also login in to Apple before it will allow the AIM Servers to "read" the password.
    This applies to any iCloud issued ID - the "newer" iCloud linked @Me.com and @iCloud.com IDs
    This means you cannot use those IDs in iChat 5 or earlier as those version only do an one point login only.
    With the coming of iCloud other Apple IDs could be linked to iCloud which may have given you either @me.com and later an @iCloud.com ID as well or just an @icloud one if you were later to the party as it were.
    Whilst in some cases this does give you two valid AIM Screen Name the originating Apple ID does not become one.

  • Problem sending message, temporary size limit of server

    I get this message when I try to send mail with attachments of less than 365 KB. "The size of the message you are trying to send exceeds a temporary size limit of the server. The message was not sent; try to reduce the message size or wait some time and try again. The server responded: 4.1.1...temporary failure." This just started happening. I've e-mailed files with much larger attachments and never had an issue. I tried e-mailing smaller attachments with the same results. I also tried waiting until the next business day hoping that the issue would resolve itself to no avail.
    Please Help!

    The error message is coming from your email providers server. What do they say when you ask them what is wrong with their equipment?

  • BTYahoo! Email IMAP - Problem saving messages in S...

    I have been using BTYahoo! email with IMAP for several years now. One problem that I never used to have has become more and more regular over the last six months or so. It is now at the point where I get this problem 95% of the time when sending messages.
    When I send a message it seems to get sent ok, but there is then a problem with saving a copy in the Sent folder. Almost every time it will trigger an alert in my e-mail client (currently Thunderbird) saying that the message could not be saved in the Sent folder. This alert appears after a short time-out limit is reached. At this point clicking the option to retry usually works, but sometimes it will just fail repeatedly and I have to cancel the attempt to save a copy.
    I have tried a different e-mail client program but got a similar error alert about not being able to save a copy in the Sent folder. To me that implies it is a problem with either my BTYahoo! email client settings or the server-side system.
    I'm using the same IMAP settings that I had used without issue for a long time.
    imap.mail.yahoo.com  -  port 993  -  SSL/TLS (normal password)
    smtp.mail.yahoo.com  -  port 465  -  SSL/TLS (normal password)
    I have tried changing the outgoing server to that below but it doesn't solve the problem.
    mail.btinternet.com  -  port 465  -  SSL/TLS (normal password)
    My questions are:-
    Has anybody else experienced a similar problem?
    Is anybody aware of any recent IMAP settings change that I need to apply to solve this?

    Hi Keith,
    The problem started for me something like six months ago. Originally it was a rare occurrence so clicking retry once every now and then wasn't a big deal, but as I mentioned I now get the time-out virtually every time I send a message. I appreciate the message is successfully sent first, but I can't just ignore it as I need to have a copy retained in my Sent folder for my records.
    Possibly the BTYahoo! servers that handle that function are much slower to respond now? I'll see if I can increase the time-out limit in Thunderbird. There is no time-out problem sending messages, just when saving the copy.
    Once in a blue moon I don't get the error message but there is still no copy saved in the Sent folder. That is very annoying when it happens. Luckily that is still a very rare occurrence currently.
    I'm really trying to establish whether this is a problem caused by my PC set up, or whether it's a problem with BTYahoo! email and there is nothing I can do at my end to fix it.

  • Can not send messages on my ipad

  • Problems sending mail on 3G

    My boss got a 3G unit and I set it up for our office email. I can receive but not send. My regular iPad works fine with the same settings and environment. Any thoughts?

    You have a wi-fi only iPad and your boss has a wi-fi+3G?
    If so, does your boss have any problems sending messages when connected to the same wi-fi network as your iPad is connected to - assuming there is a wi-fi network available at the office?
    If no, do you know if the email account has an authenticated SMTP server? Most if not all ISPs block the use of SMTP servers that are outside of their network or not provided by the ISP being used for your internet connection at the time unless the SMTP server is authenticated. Being connected to AT&T's network - using AT&T as the ISP is no exception in this regard.

  • 9500 problems sending email

    I have no issues recieving email from BT internet account with but sending mail over vodafone internet connection generates message Connecting to email via Vodafone internet and then a pop up box PROBLEM SENDING MESSAGE
    System:
    Disconnected
    Any ideas

    This occurs quite normally and is nothing to worry about.
    It you cannot send emails remember that as a security measure you usually cannot send emails outside of your account domain without enabling SMTP authentication - change your email account settings to do this.
    Look under 'Tools', 'Account Settings', 'Servers Tab' and 'use SMTP authentication' and set the username and password (normally these are the same as the usual username/password).
