.Mac Account Not working with iChat AV

Hi,
I'm having trouble using iChat AV 2.1 (v153) under OSX 10.3.9. I can not use my AppleID to log into AIM, so I am limited to chats with users on the local network whom I discover via rendezvous/bonjour.
The whole story is related below. Deleting com.apple.iChat.AIM.plist doesn't help.
Thanks for your help.

I am able to access the MyInfo page with my .Mac password:
https://myinfo.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyInfo.woa......
But, I decide to change my .Mac password anyway to try to fix the iChat problem.
Visit the .Mac account page:
https://www.mac.com/WebObjects/Account.woa?aff=consumer&cty=US&lang=en
and click on the "Forgot your password?" link. Indicate that I want to reset my password via email, and the web page indicates that the info I need was sent to [email protected], which is strange and useless.
So, I try again: click on "Forgot your password?" link, then on the "Forget your Apple ID?" link. Fill in my info, including my valid email address, and the web page indicates that it has sent the info I need. Check my email, and presto! there's a link to follow to change
my password.
I click on the link. Get a web page where I enter a new password twice, which it accepts, followed by a web page that says:
Your Apple ID password has been changed.
Select the "continue" button below to return to .Mac
Login or choose
from the list at right.
with a big green "Continue" button. I click the button and get the "Rejoin .Mac" page:
http://www.mac.com/WebObjects/Welcome.woa?aff=consumer&cty=US&lang=en
I also get an email message telling me my password has been changed and I'm set to log in. It also tells me to report any problems to:
http://survey.info.apple.com/feedback/appleid.html
I don't want to Rejoin .Mac, which I have to pay for and which provides a bunch of services I don't need - I just want the minimal functionality required to get iChat to work.
So, I restart iChatAV. It immediately opens a window that says:
AOL Instant Messenger Login
Please enter your login ID and password for the AOL
Instant Messenger service.
with my login ID already filled in - [email protected] - and the password field blank. I fill in the password field with the password I just used the .Mac account management page to reset, and IT IS REJECTED. I try a few times - all rejected. I eventually click on the cancel button and I'm back to where I was - limited to Rendezvous/Bonjour chats.
I am still able to access the MyInfo page with my .Mac user ID and (new) password.
I've been through this several times with the same outcome each time.

Thanks for responding.
My password is eight characters long. [disclosure, the problem's I've been reporting are with my wife's account - so "My" = my wife's]
I don't have access to the 10.3 machine right now, but I've reproduced the problem with iChat 3.0.1 (v392) under 10.4.2.
I select Preferences from the main iChat pull down menu. I then select Accounts, and click on the "+" to add a new account. I click in the "Use this account" check box. I select .Mac as the Account Type. In the Description field, I enter "Chance's Account". In the .Mac Name field, I enter my .Mac username and "@mac.com" is automatically appended with no way to delete it. I enter my .Mac password in the Password field.
I then select Log In to AIM from the main iChat pull down menu, and, instead of simply logging me in as happens with my account (as opposed to my wife's, which is the problem account we;re discussing), I get a pop up menu "AOL Instant Messenger Login" prompting me to enter the password for the account [email protected]
It doesn't help to delete the "@mac.com" part. It doesn't help to check the "Allow multiple logins for this account" in iChat preferences.
I am sooooo sick of this!

Video & Voice Chat Not Working With ichat

Voice Chat and Video Chat is not working with ichat 6 in booth google and yahoo. One side is ichat and the other side is yahoo & google talk clients, Please confirm whether its a workable scenario or it only supports ichat to ichat.
Thanks & Regards

Hi
Other alternatives based on the amount of info in your post.
Has she set up her Google Name in iChat or is she logged on via the Web Site (Google Mail page) ?
iChat cannot Video to the Google Mail Login page chat option or to the app called GoogleTalk on a PC.
Another thing.
If you login to the GoogleMail Web pages you will get logged out of iChat (GoogleTalk account) to a partial extent which may explain the loss of Video or Audio iCons.
iChat reports in a Text chat window that you have Logged Off.
However you seem to be able to continue the chat - but it separate from the web Page chat - You send from the web page and that chat will get the next response, send from iChat and it gets the next response (I can't remember if the Buddy told me he got two Chat windows at his end)

Isight not working with ichat

I've ran into problems with my built-in isight camera not working with ichat. It says there hasn't been any information sent in the past 10 seconds and shuts down. It works fine on other programs like Yahoo Messenger and Skype though. Anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks

I asked What router/modem do you have make and model.
Not you OS.

USB Camera does not work with iChat

Hello,
I'm having a terrible time getting my ToUcam Pro II to work with iChat. I downloaded the iUSBcam program. That didn't work. I downloaded the program Macam, and copied the proper file into the Quicktime Library (as suggested) and that didn't work. I downloaded IOXwebcam, and got an error stating that it wouldn't run due to the fact that it didn't have the proper security settings. Sigh.
So... what am I to do?
I'd like to buy a webcam that does, actually, work with my 8 month old Mac Pro 4 core mac desktop, but the iSight camera is ridiculously expensive. Any other suggestions would be appreciated.
Brad

An X-box 360 cam will do it although not in that list.
Anything that is USB 2.0 and marked UVC compliant or Vista Certified.
Be Aware some Mac Keyboards do not have USB 2.0 ports.

Mac Mini not working with AOL Cable modem

All,
I just bought a brand new Mac Mini but it not working with AOL. My windows XP PC working well with AOL but not with mac mini. Any suggestions? thanks
Hung

I just found an interesting thing that i brought my mac mini to Apple store where i bought it. Hook up with store cable, it can go thru to internet with out sign on AOL. ALso I can connect to AOL very easy. Brought it back home, I tried to open browser w/o sign on AOL like i did at Apple store, it did not work. I also tried to sign on AOL alone, still not work either. The weird thing is, my other Windows XP computer is working well with AOL. I called customer service of AOL for help, who takes care the Mac computer, asked me to follow the simple procedure that I already did before i called them like unplug cable modem, restart computer...etc. Nothing new, and then they transfered me back and forth between Mac and Windows specilist with no help. I was on phone with them for 2 hours yesterday. I'm very disappoint with AOL customer service with the way they serve the customer. I'm thinking to cancel membership with AOL where i stay with them more than 10 years, and look for another cable or DSL ISP. Now I'm packing the Mac Mini back to box and bring it to Apple store to return it. Next thing, is search around which ISP, who supports the Apple comp. I'm living at Los Angeles area where's very easy to find a local ISP Verizon, Earthlink, Road Runner... I'll be back to buy a new Mac when i get the internet ready. I love Apple computer, and i want to have it.

Mac mini not working with logitech h130 headset's microphone

Hi,
I have a mac mini (late 2014) model that appears to not work with my headset's microphone, my headset is a logitech h130 that works perfectly with all other devices that I have (which are not apple), please fix! ASAP

Assuming that the headset has two 3.5 mm plugs you need one of these to combine the headphone and jack into one 3.5 mm plug

Have Thundbolt on my mac will not work with my thunderbolt drive

I have a port on my Imac, but it will not work with my ThunderBolt Drive

Agree on cables, you don't want something generic when it comes to thunderbolt in my experience. It's thos accessories that add up and they are profitable for a reason. Cheap isn't always good with accessories.

AIM not working with iChat anymore

(First of all, I'm not sure why this forum only says iChat 3, because when I click on about iChat, I have version 4)
I used to use iChat with AIM and now it has stopped working. It still works with my gmail chat account, but it won't log into my AIM account ever. It always tries logging in a bunch of times and disconnects and then says "you have tried to log in too many times in a short while." It has been doing this for a couple months, but I haven't bothered to try to fix it until now. (I moved to England recently-- I'm not sure if it coincided with that or not but I don't see why it should).
Any ideas?

Hi
Try logging on to AIM on port 443 rather than port 5190.
Go to IChat in the menu bar > Preferences > Accounts.
Log out of AIM and then use the Server Settings tab
Set the port to 443.
Log back in again.

Substitution for "Cost of sales Accounting" not working with cycle-trx KSC5

Hello togehter,
I have a problem that it seems that a created Substitution for "Cost of sales Accounting" is not executed in our System when running a cycle for Indirect Activity Allocation (Trx. KSC5).
Now I want to debug the Indirect Activity Allocation but I don't know how those Substitution Steps are generated as code that I can set a breakpoint when executing the cycle with Trx KSC5.
I want to try a trace when activating the substitution with transaction OBBZ but I'm not able to analyze in which Forms/Functions the Code is generated.
I also saw some OSS Notes that there are problems with "Cost of Sales Accounting" but I don't know concretely what to do to solve that special problem.
Kind regards
Udo

thanks for your answer.
I added the filed FKBER in table VWTYGB01.
Now I can select field "functional area" for CO Substitution.
nevertheless substitution does not work and set functional area on Dummy FB 9990 for CO postings to CO-object without Functional area.
Thats curious because I maintained exactly the same Substitution on an other SAP System (IDES Test System) and here it works.
Any ideas?
Are there further settigs required after maintenance of table VWTYGB01??
Thanks in advance

External iSight cam not working with iChat

I've got an external iSight cam that was working fine in 10.5.8 with iChat - I'm using 10.6.1 now. Now when I open iChat, the camera stays off (no green light) and iChat video preview says that another application is using the camera so it's not available, which of course, is not true.
I've tried everything I know, but can't get it to work. The camera works with Skype, so I know it's functioning properly.
When I checked the Connection Doctor, under Network, it says that there's something in my network setup that is preventing video chats, but I haven't changed anything since upgrading to SL. I have a direct ethernet cable to my DSL modem/router - Covad. My wife's iChat works fine with her new LogiTech camera, and she's on the same home network/router.

Opps,
My head read that as MacBook Pro. Sorry.
Try Restarting the computer whilst Holding done the Apple (CMD)+ALT (OPTION)PR Keys until you have heard three start up Bongs.
Chax is an iChat Add-on.
Different version have done different things in the different iChat Versions.
There is only a Alpha test version of the one for Snow Leopard.
The iChat 4 version does not work in Snow Leopard/iChat 5 and that was why I was asking.

Mac will not work with Canon EOS cameras

My imac OS X 10.6 is not working well with my Canon EOS 5d Mark II camera on the tethered mode. The camera works well with other Mac computers, and I have spent hours with Canon tech help. It now seems that the issue may be with the computer. The EOS Utility is working, everything has been updated, all Canon checkpoints look good, but when I use the camera, the image does not transfer. And then everything gets locked into a loop and I have to crash the camera and force quit the program. Is there something in the computer that may be blocking the transfers? any ideas where to look? Canon has done everything on the camera side, but I don't know where to begin with the computer.

OH, ok. So the issue is with transferring the image from the camera to the computer. Since you said you have done everything possible with canon, the camera's firmware is completely up to date, you have the correct software installed. Since you say no cameras work with this computer I am inclined to say the problem is from the computer, which is why the problem exists. I'd do an apple hardware test and see if anything turns up. Clean install of the canon software would also be a good idea.

Why is mac helpmate not working with yosemite?

It has been working in the past, but since upgrading to yosemite it has not worked...Any one else having the same issues or can provide any help?

Apparently there is a Mac HelpMate 4.0.1 that some people are using which works locally with Yosemite. It is not posted to the web site and the author has not responded to my queries so there is nothing newswise since the Nov 5 posting mentioned above.
For Mac HelpMate's utility features there are a variety of utiilty/"swiss army"-like/cache cleaneing applications around.
For remote access there is LogMeIn, TeamViewer and for Yosemite you can apparently use the Screen Sharing as long as you have the remote computers Apple ID (you can request a screen share and don't need to know the password since they are granting you access).

For monitoring there is the excellent Watchman Monitoring.

.mac does not work with domain name

I used Iweb 08 to host my domain name from godaddy.com.
Godaddy account is: http://www.eyalphotography.com/
.mac web page is: http://web.mac.com/enahmias
I published to .Mac and went through the personal domain name procedure (using .Mac account settings and godaddy CNAME) so now .Mac is my host and I don't upload anything to godaddy. Updates are made to .Mac. but even after 4 days when trying to go to http://www.eyalphotography.com/ I still get this message: “Safari can’t open the page “http://www.eyalphotography.com/” because it can’t find the server “www.eyalphotography.com”. If I go to http://web.mac.com/enahmias no problems.
I want my page updated to http://www.eyalphotography.com/ that is the whole point of doing the cname and forwarding my domain. People should just go www.eyalphotography.com and done.. not web.mac.com/eyalphotography etc.. it beats the purpose of this thing.
So any solutions why it’s not working?

Here is a step by step on how it finally worked for me.
1. From Iweb choose domain name
2. when logged to .mac click on domain name
3. If you have any troubled name there just remove it.
4. Create a new domain name and follow instructions until it says to go to your domain registrar and continue later
5. Log to godaddy.com
6. Under the Domains menu click on My domain names
7. Click on your domain name that you want to change cname for .mac
8. On the top third of the page in the middle click on Total DNS Control and MX Records
9. On the page that opens in the cnames section click on the Reset to default setting
10. Wait a few minutes, and then refresh the page. Then on the same section under www. click on the pencil icon to edit the cname
11. Leave www. alone and on the next line type: web.mac.com and ok the changes.
12. Log out of godaddy
13. Return to the .mac domain name dialogue box and finish according to the prompts.
14. Go back to iweb and republish ALL to .mac
15. In my case it took only a few hours and after 2 weeks of frustration it worked as magic.
Good luck
