TS4058 Why  has iChat been taken from me?  I don't want to upgrade to Lion!

Why  has iChat been taken from me?  I don't want to upgrade to Lion!

Hi,
iChat 5.x.x works in Snow Leopard.
(Older versions also work in earlier OS versions)
iChat 4 and iChat 5 had a method of getting to a registration page for @mac.com names.
The iChat version no longer does this (but the registration page still exists)
In addition to this if you selected AIM then the option does not work now as AIM moved their Registration pages soon after Snow Leopard came out.
@mac.com registration page
Keep the password to 16 characters or less (AIM server limit)
You cannot use an email that has already been used with or is an Apple ID.
AIM registration Page
You cannot exceed the 16 character limit here
You need an email for Confirmation and for Password recovery (You can use it again and again if you want to set up loads of names)
You can chose a Name or use an existing email.
iChat can also use Jabber IDs
Google Mail IDs can have Talk enabled in their Google Account settings and then it can be used in iChat
Facebook have a Chat option that needs enabling.
Both use Jabber servers and your ID with them is a Valid Jabber name.
There are lots of other Public Jabber servers.

  • About an hour ago, I purchased Real Racing 2 from the Mac App Store for $12.99, but since then it has not downloaded one bit, even though I have a stable wifi connection. The money has already been taken from my account as well. What should I do?

    Just to make sure, open Mac App Store and click Purchases. Can you pause the download and restart it?

  • I have iPhoto 08 and have been happy with it. Don't want to upgrade. But suddenly, when I click on an event, instead of all the photos, I just get one- enlarged- and cannot move to the next one. The photo just jumps up or down.  How to solve?

    I have posted "submit" twice and keep getting requests to submit again.  Now being asked to write a summary! Here we go.  I have iPhoto 08 and am happy with it.  Don't want to upgrade. But suddenly when I click on an event, instead of getting all the photos, I just get a large version of one photo and cannot move on to the others.  The right arrow will not move it and the photo just jumps around.

    Note the slider bottom right of the iPhoto Window. Drag it left.

  • Why data has not been copied from staging DB to Reporting DB even timer job status is success ?

    Hello,

    Verified following services which are running and status was success on that specific date 2014-08-18 :
    Web Analytics Service

    The image itself has the answer
    The user requests a page, and the action gets picked up by the Web Analytics service that runs on SharePoint.
    The Web Analytics service logs this in the “.usage” files.
    A Timer job called “Microsoft SharePoint Foundation Usage Data Import” by default runs every 30 minutes. It imports the logs into the staging database.
    Each night the “Microsoft SharePoint Foundation Usage Data Processing” Timer job runs and transforms the data into the reporting database.
    The last run time of the import from staging and the aggregation is logged in the Settings table in the Reporting database.
    Usage and Health Data Collection Service Application collects Data about Usage and Health of your farm.
    This information is used for Health Monitoring and this is also required for running the Web Analytics Service. If you do not have a Usage and Health Data Collection Service Application or your
    Usage and Health Data Collection Proxy is stopped, you will not see any data in the Web Analytics Report

  • Why can't I read my emails from my iPad mailbox on my iPad today?Each message is replaced by the comment "This message has not been downloaded from the server."thank you

    In which case, clearly communicating the intent would have been a better solution.  The steps do apply.  A more appropriate response would have been "tried that, no change".
    Regardless of whether they fixed the problem or not, they do apply.
    If English is not your native language, I would strongly encourage you to post in your native language going forward.
    If basic troubleshooting has not resolved the issue, the next step is to take the device to Apple for evaluation.

  • "This message has not been downloaded from the server" - Multiple devices all using Exchange Active Sync

    We are having this issue across multiple IOS devices ranging from IOS version 5.x up to the latest 6.1.2. Many (not all) emails sent to the devices are unreadable and simply state: "This message has not been downloaded from the server". Microsoft believes this to be some sort of bug with the IOS devices in the way they are handling the SSL encryption.
    Facts:
    - Devices are connected to an Exchange 2010 SP1 Rollup 6 via Active Sync (No POP3, IMAP or SMTP)
    - issue occurs on multiple IOS devices within the organization ranging from IOS 5.x up to the latest 6.1.2
    - Issue occurs on both external cellular data and internal wireless networks
    - Not all emails sent to the devices result in the error, but issue does tend to occur more frequently from certain senders/domains
    - Using the same user account on an android phone does not result in an issue (even when receiving the exactly same email that has been sent to the IOS devices)
    - Closing mail app / rebooting device does not resolve the issue
    - Doesn't appear to matter what the mesage format is (can be html, plaintext, etc)
    - Spent nearly 7 hours with Microsoft going through the Exchange server configuration and looking for possible causes. None have been found and all testing indicates things are setup correctly.
    - This is not a case of Issue 2.3 listed here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2563324 (verified by Microsoft Support)
    - If we disable SSL on the IOS device and connect via plain HTTP the messages are displayed correctly!
    - If we use a different SSL certificate, the issue still occurs - so not a problem with the original cert.
    Does anyone have any suggestions on what would cause this? Does the ISO devices have any sort of log that would indicate why it's reporting this error? The current error is pretty unhelpful.

    GFI Have a solution for this problem. It is to do with iOS implementation of reading the message headers when SPF compliance modifications are made by GFI.

  • Warning: The system has not been taken off maintenance mode completely

    After I enabled Maintenance mode using adadmin, I ran Compile Flexfields. Then I disabled Maintenance mode. But, on the 11i login page, I keep getting a warning message:
    Warning
    The system has not been taken off maintenance mode completely. Please contact your System Administrator.
    I am sure I disabled the Maintenance mode in adadmin. Why I still get the warning? How to fix it? Thanks a lot.

    Thanks a lot. That is the fix.
    One more question. After I ran "Compile Flexfields", I got
    Number of successful descriptive flex compilations : 7520
    Number of failed descriptive flex compilations : 1
    How can I find the failed description flex? The log does not give info on this. And, how to fix it?
    Thanks a lot for your help.

  • "This message has not been downloaded from the server"

    Hello, Ever since ive had an iPhone and have used Edge to open a resaonably sized email i usually get "This message has not been downloaded from the server". Im sure this has to do with the slow Edge network timing out. How do you correct this if there is no "Download Now" button. The only solution I have found was to force quit the Mail App (Hold Home button for 6 seconds) and go back in and pray that it downloads without timing out.

    There was a thread on this yesterday that stated that if there is more message it may take four to five minutes to download the entire message and/or attachments.
    One poster even said that it has taken him over 30 minutes in some cases.
    I have this same problem on some email and on others the entire email is downloaded, including any attachments. Since there is no communication put out by Apple regarding this anomaly, it is hard to say whether this a an Apple or provider, i.e., Google or Yahoo.

  • Searched email showing "The message has not been downloading from the server."

    I have Exchange email setup on my iPad. When I search for an email that has a large attachment (15mb PDF) the results show two identical emails. If I click on the first one it says "This message has not been downloaded from the server." The second email seems to open correctly. Closing the Mail app and opening back up doesn't fix the issue. Neither does rebooting iPad. Anyone have any idea why the search is showing multiple emails and why they won't download correctly?
    --Brian

    I am the IT department. Seems to be an issue with the search showing the email locally and server side, so it shows up twice. If I open the email that is server side, it has an issue opening the email again unless I try several times. I'm working with Apple now so hopefully they can help.
