My buddy can't decode my iChat messages, which i send over ICQ/AIM

Hi,
im using my ICQ-account over the iChat app on my MAC. And when i'm trying to send messages, my chat buddy only recieves kryptic messages!
What can i do to make this work ?

Hi,
At present you cannot do this in iChat 6
In earlier version there was an Add-on called Chax that could strip the HTML coding to produce the Ball0on and the colours when sending to an ICQ buddy.
The last version is not compatible with ichat 6 (they moved stuff)
There are rumours about a new version but the site does not list it yet.
You may find that changing the style (iChat View Menu > Messages when a text chat window is open) to Compact or Text may make it more readable to your ICQ buddy.

  • Can't read my iChat messages

    Using iChat 2.1, I can send messages to others and they see my text. The return a message, I can see they've sent one, but I can't read it. Why? I've checked that my font is black on a normal background???? What else

    Hello Shelley,
    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    I've checked that my font is black on a normal background???? What else
    -Does this happen for EVERYONE or just your practical joker friends?
    -If you are overriding the senders' text and balloon colors, have you checked the font color and background for incoming message?
    -Have you shutting down and rebooting your modem, router, and Mac? (Let you modem finish its self-test before restarting your separate router. If you have a separate router, let
    b it
    finish its self-test, too, before restarting your Mac.)
    -Have you recently done your Regular Maintenance / General Troubleshooting? I know it says iMac at the top, but these tips really help keep OS X running smoothly on all Macs

  • I can't log into ichat, it wants me to enter an aim password, i don't have one?

    When I log into ichat it always says "ichat was unable to login to AOL instant messenger because your screen name or pasword was incorrect." I dont understand, when I created the account it never said any thing about AOL accounts. I've tried entering my apple account username and password, and I've also tried creating an AOL account. Neither of which have worked

    Hi,
    You can use an AIM (Or AOL) as AIM stands for AOL Instant Messenger.
    Apple have an agreement with AIM that @Mac.com and Mobileme/iCloud (*@me.com) Names are also valid AIM Screen Names.
    However the Passwords must be kept to 16 characters or less due to the limits on the AIM servers.
    Other Apple IDs are not Valid Screen Names unless you specifically Register them with AIM - OR they belong to another Service which iChat can access and are valid as Chat names with that Service.

  • How can I add popup help messages when I mouse over a button

    Hi there,
    I haev Acrobat x 10 pro.
    I'm new to acrobat and would like to set up a friendly form for people to fill in online.  I'd like them to have some interactive help so that for example when they mouse over or click a button, some help text appears.  I've played around with adding a text field that is hidden and then adding action items to a button to show it.  This works, but my text field is shaded like a normal text field and I'd like it to look different.
    Is there a better way to to this popup effect or is there a way t omake the popup look like a popup and not a text field?
    All help gratefully received,
    Thanks in advance.

    I'mnot sure what you mean by shading exactly, but you can set up a text field so that it doesn't have an inset border. An alternative is to use a button to display the text. Buttons are more flexible since you can set a button icon to be anything that can appear on a PDF page (text, images, vector graphics). For a sample, see: https://acrobat.com/#d=aP-2xL45pM57xVkT6d6fSg
    Also, if you use a text field, set it's default value to the text you want to display so that the field won't get blanked if the form is reset. You don't have to worry about this when using buttons.

  • Messages won't send files via AIM anymore

    I've been using Messages via AIM and iMessage and had no problems sending files or images for years until recently. Now AIM won't send files. There's no error message and I can see the image in the conversation window but the recipient doesn't get the file/image. Also when they try to send to me, I don't get the file/image either. This problem has started just this week.
    We have had our broadband upgraded and a new router installed but it's in Modem mode and hooked up to our Airport Time Capsule that runs the wifi.
    I've read some posts about port changes, but not sure if this would be the case.
    Any help much appreciated.

    Hi,
    See also AIM Screen Names using @Mac.com or @me.com IDs to end  (it is in Mountain Lion's area)
    The @mac.com and @me.com name should still work as AIM valid Screen Names.
    It is only in iChat up to and including the base version of iChat 6 in Lion.
    The Later updated version of iChat 6 should work.
    It is because during Lion Apple introduced the double Login to AIM and Apple that allows the app to confirm you can login in with the Apple ID.
    Basically unless the app has logged in to Apple with the ID then the AIM server cannot see it.
    To  certain extent this already was the case in AIM and iChat for @me.com ID once there was no MobileMe server.
    All @me.com names that became linked to iCloud IDs  get around that by being iCloud IDs.
    So... Later versions of iChat 6, Messages 7 in Mountain Lion, Messages 8 in Mavericks and the version in Yosemite (also called version 8)  all allow Logins with Apple Issued IDs to the AIM servers.
    It does help that you may have "updated" the account yourself along the way - such as Linking an @mac.com to MobileMe when MobileMe came out and again for iCloud.
    This may mean that actually you have an Apple ID that has @[email protected] and @icloud.com  emails and all those "IDs" works as login names with the same password.

  • Can't edit shared address book, which also shows over 400 "no name" accts

    My wife and i each have an iPhone and a work/personal computer. In order to make syncing of contacts easier (yeah right). I created a shared account on our family MobileMe account. In that account i dropped all of our contacts and set up sharing to allow both my wife and myself to view and edit. It was a little ugly in 10.5 but it worked. After installing 10.6 everything is screwed up. Now neither of us can edit or delete contacts in the shared account. Also, even though we only have 507 contacts we also have an extra 395 "no name" accounts that have no data associated with them. I've tried everything. I've killed syncing of the address book on all computers, backed up the address book and deleted the ~/Application Support/Address Book folder and reset syncing etc. It seems sharing is no longer an option?

    update: my address book is now up to 1009 contacts...seems every time it syncs it adds new "no name" accounts.

  • How can I output multiple IDOC messages in one dataflow in DS 3.2?

    Hi, we are trying to load some business partner data into CRM through an IDOC. The specific IDOC we are attempting to use is CRMXIF_PARTNER_SAVE_M02. We successfully created a Data Services flow which takes input from a file and can write out an IDOC message which updates the record in CRM. The problem is that we can only manage to run this job for one record at a time - if the file we are using for input contains 2 or more records (2 or more business partners which we are trying to update), then the batch job fails with the error message:
    IDoc Error: Message:      Adding this segment exceeds maximum allowed number of repetition E101CRMXIF_PARTNER_KEYS
    I'm guessing from this error message that it is trying to shove both business partner records into one IDOC which is not supported by this IDOC. Instead what we want it to do is send 2 IDOC messages to the server, one per business partner.
    Does anyone have any suggestions on how we can make this work?
    Thanks

    I am trying to update the ABCIndicator from 2 to 3 and hence have set the Flag to X in the source table as well. I have updated the EDI_DC40 mandatory schema with the necessary values and mapped the values to the schemas in the IDOC
    E1FUNC_LOC_CHANGE - from the source table 
    and sub schemas
    E1BP_ITOB - some from the source table and other values to NULL
    E1BP_ITOBX - FLAG X to the ABC Indicator from Source table and all others to NULL
    E1BP_ITOB_FL_ONLY - NULL for Everything
    E1BP_ITOB_FL_ONLYX - NUll for everything
    I have tried to play around the FROM cluase in the query as well as UNnesting...all of them failed to resolve the issue...Can you please suggest me where I am going Wrong..

  • Ipad 3 How can I retrieve old sent messages?

    How can I retrieve old sent messages which disappeared from my sent folder? I only have old sent messages until June 2014 and I need a message I sent in March 2014. I use a pop email client (godaddy). Any suggestions? Greetings, Harry

    Unless you saved the email to a folder on your computer, it is most likely gone for good since it has disappeared from the sent folder in the mail app. Email messages are not stored in the backups so you cannot retrieve them that way either.

  • Appearing Invisible: Buddy can't receive my message

    I have a question. If I appear invisible on iChat, my buddy cannot receive my message, until I appear available. In other IM apps, appearing invisible, lets you stay invisible, but you can still send messages, which is the point of being invisible.
    Is there any additional setting I must set (or my buddy) to allow him to receive my messages sent as I'm set to invisible?
    Thanks,
    Bryan

    Hi Bryan,
    I am not aware of any.
    I can Text chat, Video or Audio Chat as well as Screen Share and do iChat Theatre when Invisible.
    Try Logging out of AIM and in again.
    Also try restarting the Computer.
    Try Restarting the Computer with no Internet Connection then start iChat then connect to the Internet and then Log iChat into AIM.
    If none of those work delete com.apple.iChat.AIM.plist form Users/(your account)/Library/Preferences and restart iChat.

One day last week, when Facetime rang, my kids answered on the iPad. Dang! Now it's all fouled up! The new iMac won't see my AIM account name and shows that I'm offline, because the iPad is off. We were able to call using "most recent call" in Facetime, but now I can't go and control that new iMac remotely to help with some email concerns the user is having. I'm trying to not personalize this too much, but it's grandkids talking to Grandma and Mom and Dad trying to solve new machine hiccups.

    Why can I no longer text message on the larger format by turning my phone on its side?

    Hi,
    Since iChat 6 the SMS option in the Menus has disappeared.
    However if you add the number to a Buddy List as if it were  Screen Name but with the leading +1 (as in +1234567890) it will work over AIM.
    It only works to US phones on some Carriers.

  • Can I combine my iChat logs into one?

    I always disconnect or sign off and close buddy lists and that makes so many chat logs open, how do I combine it into one?

    Hi,
    Can you explain what you mean by Logs ?
    1) iChat creates Error Logs and stores them in Your Home Folder (Little house icon)/Library/Logs/iChatConnectionErrors for failed Audio, Video and Screen Sharing attempts.
    2) iChat creates Transcripts of Chats and can store them in your Home Folder/Documents/iChats and then by dated folders  (Personally I wish this could be by Screen Name/ID/Buddy name).
    The options in iChat menu > Preferences > Messages refers to Saving Transcripts  (It is automatic in Message beta)
    3) Buddy List and Text chat windows are separate items.
    Using the red button top left of any window only closes that window and does not Quit the App.
    Closing the Buddy Lists this way Or Logging Off which also clears them Off screen would leave all the Text Chats open (Although marking them you are Off line)
    If 3) is the fact you have so many individual Text Chats open (Possibly intending to return to those chats later) and want to have them in in one window will need need us to know which version of iChat you are using.
    Some need to use an Add-on called Chax.
    Later versions have the option in the ichat Menu > Preferences > General Section > to link/tab the Open Chats (I forget the exact wording)  Basically Apple brought Tabbed Chats to iChat later in the scheme of things
