Hi,
iChat (it would help to know which version) can accept Apple IDs as valid AIM Screen Names.
However if you have iChat 5 or earlier you cannot use ones ending in @me.com or @icloud.com issued by iCloud. (they can be used in iChat 6 or Messages as these versions make a double login to AIM and Apple to allow the use of the password).
In addition if you are using an Apple ID for an AIM Screen Name the password still needs to keep to the 16 character limit that AIM has.
AN @mac.com name can be used on any version of iChat (Until the 30th June 2014)
As it does not need a double check with Apple you can use it to log in to the AIM Web pages
Login here with an AIM Name registered at AIM or and @mac.com name and see if you get any suspended account messages.
Sometimes account can be suspended. Usually because something has triggered the "Unusual Activity" item.
About a year ago many @mac.com users that travelled out of their own country found themselves suspended when they got home.
If the Name checks out of if an Apple ID the password in known to be 16 characters or Less then do this:-
In Lion upwards open a Finder Window and use the Go Menu whilst holding down the ALT key.
Select the Library that appears in the menu list.
Navigate to Preferences.
(If you have version earlier than Lion the just navigate to ~/Library/Preferences (that's the Library in you Home - Little House icon - folder)
Fnd com.apple.ichat.aim.plist (even if you are using Messages)
Drag the file to the Trash and Restart the app.

Little bit of thread and little bit of instant messenger design problem

OK! i have a small problem here, i am planning on making a instant messenger server and client, not compatible with any out there(as of yet) and not using any stansard protocols out there, just something i made on my own. ok now the problem i am trying to figure out is....i have a "Messaging Server" as the name suggests it sends messages from one client to the other, how it is setup is, client connects to this server, the server accepts and creates a new thread for this client and adds a message listener to this client handler thread. as and when the server creates this thread for the client, it puts it in a vector which is keeping track of every client connected to this server. so now when the client sends a message to another client, basically it goes through this server, the thread upon receiving this message, fires a method of the listener. this method takes the message, finds out who it is going to(therefore the userid) and seaches the threads vector to find the appropriate thread and then just creats another striped down message out of the received message and calls a method in that thread to send this newly created message and hence the message should be sent.(i am speculating, i still have not created this)
so the problem ia m logically facing is...at what point of time who is taking the load, what i mean by that is, when the thread receives the message, ofcourse it is this thread which is working is taking the load, but when the listener fucntion is fired which thread is handlign the call is it the client handler thread which fired the method or the messaging server thread which creates these threads?? now once that is solved, who(which thread) is doing the work when i call the fucntion in the other thread which i found aftre searching the vector. i mean i am thinking like this cuz i am not much in sink with the way threads work. i am also trying to figure out this to find out the load the server or the threads will be having.
algo example:
class messageServer
     vector currentWorkingThreads;
     messageListener listener;
     main()
          listener = new messageListener(); //should it be here or the other place i am mentioning below
          while(true)
               clientHandler = socket.accept();
               listener = new messageListener(); //should it be here or the other place i am mentioning above
               //create a thread and add this thread object to the vector
               thread.addLisenter(listener);
class messageServerThread
     string userid;
     messageListener lis;
     run()
          object obj = in.readObject();
          lis.sendMessage(obj);
     sendMessage(obj)
          out.writeObject(obj);
          out.flush;
class messageListener
     sendMessage(msSendMessage msg)
          //find the appropriate user thread
          loop(currentWorkingThread.next())
               messageServerThread msgThread = (messageServerThread)currentWorkingThread.element();
               if(msg.userid == msgThread.userid)
                    msReceiveMessage rcvMsg = msg.strip(); //dosent matter what this does, it just strips the unwanted info and returns the type msReceiveMessage
                    msgThread.sendMessage(rcvMsg);
and if this is something out of the line, or not a good way of doing it, can someone help me with the design it would be gr8.
thanx a lot

other, how it is setup is, client connects to this
server, the server accepts and creates a new thread
for this client and adds a message listener to this
client handler thread. as and when the server creates
this thread for the client, it puts it in a vector
which is keeping track of every client connected to
this server.ok so far.
so now when the client sends a message to
another client, basically it goes through this server,
the thread upon receiving this message, fires a method
of the listener. this method takes the message, finds
out who it is going to(therefore the userid) and
seaches the threads vector to find the appropriate
thread and then just creats another striped down
message out of the received message and calls a method
in that thread to send this newly created message andhere you seem to confuse the thread instance and the thread of execution. the thread invoking this method is still the event handling thread (i.e. the receiver thread of the socket). you do not need threads for delivering - this can be done by the receiving sockets' event handling threads. disadvantage: if processing of the message takes significant time then the socket is blocked and cannot process another message.
solution: put the message in an event queue which is processed by one or more threads. (see my example i e-mailed you)
robert
hence the message should be sent.(i am speculating, i
still have not created this)
so the problem ia m logically facing is...at what
point of time who is taking the load, what i mean by
that is, when the thread receives the message,
ofcourse it is this thread which is working is taking
the load, but when the listener fucntion is fired
which thread is handlign the call is it the client
handler thread which fired the method or the messaging
server thread which creates these threads?? now once
that is solved, who(which thread) is doing the work
when i call the fucntion in the other thread which i
found aftre searching the vector. i mean i am thinking

Why can't I open a long url in Instant messenger

I have a question for Instant messenger users . A friend of mine sent me a long url that took about 5
windows in instant messenger. I tried to open it, but it would not open. Are there any settings
I need to set on my IPhone 6 or instant messenger to make this work. Also why does it break it up into 5 separate IM windows??

Tell your friend to go to bit.ly to create a 'short URL' for that address.
They can send you that & you shouldn't have to worry about the SMS or any other messaging size limitations.
NOTE: there are many other URL shortener services…

I can get it to work with a browser through AIM express, but shouldn't there be a way for me to get a client to work?

Cannot use instant messenger in Yahoo Mail anymore and don't know why

when I go into my Yahoo Mail, I cannot use instant messenger. If I click on someone on line nothing happens at all. I have been told to delete and reload this program (IM) but have tried repeatedly and cannot find it anywhere. Also tried contacting someone on facebook and got no response so I assume it's not working on the chat feature either

SKYPE INSTANT MESSENGER FROM AN ANDROID THAT DOES NOT HAVE THE SKYPE APP

I HAVE A LENOVO HARD-WIRED TOWER & WINDOWS 8.1 OPERATING SYSTEM. MY FRIEND, DAVE, HAS AN ANDROID PHONE - HIS PHONE DOES NOT HAVE SKYPE INSTANT MESSENGER, BUT ANOTHER INSTANT MESSENGER THAT SHOWS A LIGHTNING BOLT. DAVE IS ONE OF MY SKYPE CONTACTS. WHEN I SEND DAVE MESSAGES VIA SKYPE INSTANT MESSENGER, HE CAN SEE MY MESSAGES, BUT I CAN NOT SEE HIS. ANY SUGGESTIONS, ADVICE? THANK YOU. SIGNED, GINA

Hi! The obvious solution to this would be having your friend download skype from google play store. that way you're both on Skype, and it's free aswell. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.skype.raider

Instant Messenger contacts - add all users?

Is it possible to use a corporate address book or a dynamic LDAP query to add all (or many) users in the Instant Messenger?
We are deploying JCS in an organization, and the users complained that so far they only saw a means to add users by uid or via search by at least three characters of a name.
A reasonable idea they had was to predefine (or easily define) all staff for all staff. So whenever a user starts the IM applet, he can see all colleagues, not just the ones he had to manually enter.

JimKlimov wrote:
When I search for group name in the "Add People" dialog, I only see the group names as "cos.ru/" (where "cos.ru" is the organization and domain name).
However when I click one of these relatively unidentified groups and add it to my list, I do see the group name and contents (users).The format of the dynamic group in the add contacts search screen for my test installation is:
<domain>/<dn of group> e.g.
aus.sun.com/cn=All Users, ou=Groups,o=aus.sun.com,o=ispIf you have a non-ascii character in the group name, that may be causing problems.
Also you may want to try another client system running a different client-side version of java (e.g. 1.5 vs. 1.6) to see if this makes a difference.
Apart from that all I can suggest is upgrading to the latest publicly available IM 7.2 patches (which is what I am running now) e.g. 118786-28 (solaris sparc) or 118787-28 (solaris x86) and 118789-29 (solaris sparc) or 118790-29 (solaris x86).
If that doesn't help log a support case so the issue can be investigated further.
PS: I hope it is not too annoying that I've lately resorted to such questions that you easily point me to the Docs or the Wiki? There's so much reading and so little time :( ....Not a problem. It can take me a while to track them down so I understand all too well especially if you don't know the option exists in the first place.

Shane.

IChat was unable to login to AOL Instant Messenger!

I've been unable to log into iChat with my @me.com username for the last week. Every time I try to set my status to Available I get this message:
AOL Instant Messenger Login
iChat was unable to login to AOL Instant Messenger because your screen name or password was incorrect.
Is this happening to anyone else? Will it ever be fixed? My Login ID and Password are the same as they've always been. Nothing's changed at my end. So why can't I get online with iChat?

You're lucky. I tried deleting my MobileMe account within iChat, and re-adding it, but I still have the same error message. I haven't been able to use iChat for coming up to a month now

Ichat & AOL instant messenger won't accept my ID or password

When attempting to use ichat, I can't get past the AOL instant messenger login. It says I have the wrong ID or password. But I'm using the correct ones. Does anyone know what to do? Thanks!

HI,
Two possibles.
1) You are using iChat 5 or Earlier with an iCloud Issued ID from Apple (@me.com or @iCloud.com)
Apple now have the iChat 6 and Messages app log in to me.com as well as AIM and this then Allows AIM to "read" the Password.
Earlier versions of iChat do not do this so you cannot then Login despite the name actually being Valid.
2) AIM servers have a 16 character Limit on Passwords.
You may need to shorten your password. Applies to any version of iChat or Messages.

AOL Instant Messenger Login Problem

Hi guys and gals,
So I've been having a problem for quite some time now and I was hoping someone might have experienced the same problem and can tell me just how to fix it...
So I've been using iChat for years with my AIM password and login and have never had a problem. Just recently, someone hacked in to my account and started spamming people from my account. Because of this I had to change my password. When I entered the new password into iChat, it gave me the following error:
*AOL Instant Messenger Login*
iChat was unable to login to the AOL Instant
Messenger service because your screen name or
password was incorrect.
I know the password is correct and the account works if I sign in with AIM; however, I hate AIM and want to use the account with iChat. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling iChat. I've also tried deleting my account and recreating it with the new password but that didn't work either.
Has anyone experienced this before or does anyone know how I can get iChat to work again? Thank you so much!

Hi,
Use this Users Tip to check the Keychain entry for your AIM name
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=121885
You may find you have two entries in the passwords section for your Screen Name.
It may also pay to delete the com.apple.ichat.AIM.plist after removing the passwords row or stars in iChat and well as deleting any extra Keychain items and changing the password there.
Then Restart iChat so that it re-writes the plist from defaults and current Keychain info.

Ichat was unable to login to aol instant messenger because...

Hi There
I wiped my hard drive and reinstalled Leopard and all was good. EXCEPT that now I can't log into iChat anymore!
I keep getting this message:
ichat was unable to login to aol instant messenger because your screen name or password was incorrect .
I know that both are correct because I can log into my old iBook and my iMac.
I don't have aol, I use .mac although I don't subscribe, just use it for iChat.
I've deleted the account and started again but always get the same message. I can log in fine using gmail and I used a friends aol and that works but nobody can log into ichat with a .mac screen name.
Help me please.

Ok I also can't log in via adium but if I use my wife's or my mother in-laws sign in then iChat works no problem.
I'm confused because I know my details are correct. Could it have anything to do with the initial set up of the os?

On certain websites, I cannot use instant messenger. It comes up as a "connection error". If I use IE8, I do not have this problem... I have the latest Java and Adobe Flash player downloads... what gives?

When attempting to use an instant messenger on certain websites, I keep getting a "connection error" message.... The IM pops up, it appears to start loading then I get the "connection error".

With blackberry instant messenger, can anyone find out what you have been typing once cleared

dying to know if boss can see what im typing or retreive what i sent to friend on the blackberry instant messenger service.
my boss is very nosy and yes i know its their phone, but still wondering if it can be retreived like txting or email???
thanks
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Agree with JSanders - why take the chance? If you're doing something you shouldn't on a corporately-owned device, you're just asking for trouble.
As far as turning on logging for BlackBerry Messenger, you'd know it was on since the way it works is you'd see an item in your Sent Items that is a record of all of your BBM chat being sent to whatever email address the BES Admin set up.
It's not something that is done 'behing the scenes' like logging text messaging or phone calls. The user KNOWS they are being tracked for BBM.
If you find a post here helpful, please consider giving the poster some Kudos
