Ichat won't connect to AIM - timed out

Everything was working fine. Now I still have Jabber on ichat 4.0.7, but my (long-time expired) .mac account times out, won't connect. Just one day it worked and the next it didn't. I have tried resetting port to 443, from 5190, tried using SSL and not. double checked that my .mac and AIM passwords both work on their websites. I can't think of anything that has changed. I was just getting into this - and now it doesn't work. Any ideas please?

So at this screen originally you selected the @mac Option ?
There is an example of the Expanded drop down a little further down.
(iChat 3 pic but same for iChat 4)
There is a similar option if in the iChat menu > Preferences > Accounts you use the + Plus button to add a New Account/Screen Name.
If the Keychain (and therefore iChat) shows you the current @mac.com password but iChat is not connecting then go to your Home Folder (Little House icon)/Library/Preferences and delete com.apple.ichat.AIM.plist (by putting it in the Trash) and Restart iChat.

  • IChat won't connect to AIM. It says I tried to login too many times.

    I was randomly using my comp when i tried to login to iChat and it tried to login several times. After it got done freaking out it suddenly said that i couldn't connect to AIM because i tried to login too many times and that i need to wait a few minutes and try again. I've tried deleting the .plist files and have also tried setting the port to a different one. It keeps coming up with the same error. Is there anyone who is also having this problem and might be able to suggest some solutions? Thanks

    I take it you are trying port 443.
    Try it without the SSL Login
    Also try deleting the com.apple.iChat.AIM.plist and com.apple.iChatAgent.plist together.
    Don't forget to restart iChat.

  • Ichat won't connect to AIM

    Hi. I know there's other topics with this exact problem but none of them were helpful, so I have to post my own here.
    For months I have had the problem with iChat, where if I try to sign in, it collapses and expands many times and tells me I have tried to sign in too many times and to try again later. Maybe a handful of times out of the many months this has been a problem, I have randomly succesfully logged in, but of course it would mess up again a few hours later.
    I downloaded the AIM app for Mac so that I would be able to chat with people, and that always worked, but I really much prefered the iChat, so I have been trying to fix it.
    I changed the port to 443, that did not work. I deleted the .plist thing, did not work. I followed all of the troubleshooting guidelines I've found on this website, nothing worked. Worst of all, after doing ALL of this, it seems that it somehow messed up my AIM application too, because now when I gave up on iChat and decided to just use my AIM app again, it will no longer let me sign in, and tells me "rate limited". Now I REALLY can't do any chatting.
    what the heck?

    Hi,
    You have OS 10.5.8 with Security Updates to get to iChat 4.0.9 (Only reported as such in iChat and using Quicklook on the app in the Applications folder - and not by Get Info)
    That would appear to be Up-to Date
    IF your Name and Password are letting you login to the AIM web site or with AIM Express in a web browser I would delete com.apple.iChat.AIM.plist which you will find in your Home Folder/Library/Preferences
    Restart iChat afterwards. This will force a new login using info in the Keychain for your Password and Screen Name.

  • IChat doesn't connect to AIM over wireless connection

    I'm trying to connect to AIM over an open wireless connection. What happens is iChat sits there for a few minutes saying "connecting" and then eventually tells me that it can't connect. I can still connect to the internet but it won't connect iChat won't connect to AIM.

    Hi John,
    If you have a wireless device that is separate from your modem then you need to apply the set up to that device.
    Essentially it is turning off the DHCP server.
    Setting up Static Addresses is better.
    Setting up Static Addresses and the router as a access point is best.
    One option for some modems is to be set to Bridge mode:
    All ports are open and the Public IP address is passed to the router. You then only have to worry about one set of IP addresses and will have got around the Subnet problem.

    hi.
    I'm not clear on this - what do you mean you are running a J2EE application from
    an editor?
    Also the error is coming from a servlet. Is one of your servlets calling a
    getParameter() method after reading from the ServletInputStream()? If it is it
    should be corrected.
    Regards,

    This sounds like a slow client to me. Specifically the client isn't sending

  • IFS-21000:  Session is not connected or has timed-out

    Hi folks,
    I am getting the error message "IFS-21000: Session is not
    connected or has timed-out" when uploading the following XML
    command:
    <?xml version = '1.0' standalone = 'yes'?>
    <SimpleUser>
    <UserName>tuser1</UserName>
    <Password>tuser1</Password>
    <HasPrimaryUserProfile>TRUE</HasPrimaryUserProfile>

    <HasContentQuota>FALSE</HasContentQuota>
    <HasEmail>FALSE</HasEmail>
    <PrimaryUserProfileAcl>Protected</PrimaryUserProfileAcl>
    </SimpleUser>
    Why?

    Hi guys,
    thanks for the feedback, I did get a response on metalink that
    answers my questions. Here it is if you are interested...
    An example would something like this.
    <?xml version = '1.0' standalone = 'yes'?>
    <SimpleUser>
    <UserName>fred</UserName>
    <Password>fred</Password>
    <DirectoryUserAcl reftype="name">Private</DirectoryUserAcl>
    <DistinguishedName>fred</DistinguishedName>
    <DistinguishedNameSuffix>.fthw.siemens.de</DistinguishedNameSuffi
    x>
    <EmailAddressSuffix>@fthw.siemens.de</EmailAddressSuffix>
    <HasEmail>true</HasEmail>
    <EmailUserProfileAcl
    reftype="name">Private</EmailUserProfileAcl>
    <AdminEnabled>false</AdminEnabled>
    <CanChangePassword>true</CanChangePassword>
    <HomeFolderRoot>/home</HomeFolderRoot>
    <HasHomeFolder>true</HasHomeFolder>
    <HomeFolderAcl reftype="name">Private</HomeFolderAcl>
    <HasContentQuota>true</HasContentQuota>
    <ContentQuotaEnabled>true</ContentQuotaEnabled>
    <ContentQuotaAcl reftype="name">Private</ContentQuotaAcl>
    <ContentQuotaAllocatedStorage>10000</ContentQuotaAllocatedStorage
    >
    <HasPrimaryUserProfile>true</HasPrimaryUserProfile>
    <PrimaryUserProfileAcl
    reftype="name">Private</PrimaryUserProfileAcl>
    </SimpleUser>
    2. It would depend on the following:
    <PrimaryUserProfileAcl
    reftype="name">Private</PrimaryUserProfileAcl>
    <DefaultAclsBundleName>userAclBundleForClasses</DefaultAclsBundle
    Name>
    <DefaultAcls>MyAclBundleForClasses</DefaultAcls>
    However, there is a problem with current versions (bug1736384,
    unpublished) in which you can't use XML to set the default ACL
    to an existing property bundle.
    According to the bug the workaround is to "use Java or the Admin
    utilities tasks
    - "CreateDirectoryuser" to create a User
    and "CreatePropertybundle" to create a Propertybundle that
    represents the defaultACLs
    - "CreateUserProfile" and set the DEFAULTACLS attribute to the
    bundle ""

  • Icxxthr_mt.c "500 connection to partner timed out"  Error: -5

    Hi,
       I'm using a CRM. I'm connected on an Application Server.
    I enter the transaction crmd_order_bp and with a business partner, I want to see a particular view in the fact sheet, the informations are situated on the Database Server. The impacted tables by this transaction are bulky and many users are connected on the system.
    The result is the following message:
         500 connection timed out (-5)
        version:  6040
        component: ICM
        module:  icxxthr_mt.c
        detail: connection to partner timed out
    Now, I want to grow up some parameters from the ICM module if it is the
    solution !!!!
    So, I listed the parameter attributes in my system:
    - icm/conn_timeout = 5000
    - icm/keep_alive_timeout =60
    - icm/max_conn = 500
    - icm/max_sleep = 2000
    - icm/max_threads = 50
    But I don't know what is the good parameter and if there is a relation beetween them.
    Are there rules to determinate this times ?
    Thank you for your answers.
    Best regards

    Hi,
    please refer to the note 636906. The problem might be caused by the volume of data in your R/3 system.
    You may also increase the timeout in the ICM parameters of CRM WAS.

    Dear
    I think it's best you check the J2EE log files on this issue
    In filesystem /usr/sap/<SID>/JC<instance number>/j2ee/cluster/server0/log
    Tail the defaulttrace and perform your save on which the timeout occurs.
    Check other log files as well in those filesystems or in the work directory for more information concerning the problem.
    Kind regards

    For the past three days my ichat has not been working. At first it would not connect and I kept getting the message "Could not connect to AIM(xxx) :The connection could not be completed because it timed out or I would get host refused connection.*" I waited a day to try again and got the same problem. I also changed my port to 443 and i was able to sign in but not able to video chat. If anyone could help me with this problem i would really appreciate it. ( I am working with a newly bought MacBook pro with ichat version 4.0.8 (619) if that will be any help )

    Hi,
    Welcome to the    Discussions
    Which Setting are you using in System Preferences > Security > Firewall ?
    Do Not Use Allow Essentials as iChat is not an Essential App.
    Have you set up your routing device to allow the ports iChat uses ?
    Port 443 for the Login should work as it is below the 1024 threshold (ports are open up to this number)
    Video chatting uses ports above this number.
    If it is a routing device that appears to be the issue please tell us make and model and version number so we can direct you further.
