"unknown error" creating a Messages account using AIM

I had a perfectly good AIM account and password yet whenever I tried creating an account in Messages using AOL type account, I got the error "An unknown error has occurred". It also happened when I tried to add the AIM account in SystemPreferences->Internet Accounts.
SOLUTION: In my case the email address for the AIM account was a yahoo.com email address.  The same email address was used for the Yahoo Internet Account in system preferences. Creating another AIM account using a gmail.com address solved the problem. YMMV

Hi,
If it is an AIM Name or a email used at/registered with AIM then it pays to check here https://settings.aim.com/ to see if the account has been suspended.

  • While downloading apps from app store I'm getting unknown error has occurred message

    Hi
    I'm seeing the below problem from today morning..
    I am using iPhone 4 unlocked (direct from apple store ). I am getting 'A unknown error has ovcurred' message while trying to download free apps from AppStore.
    I am connected to wi-fi while doing this.
    I used to download without any issues earlier. Please advise on what could be the problem. Thank muvh

    Same problem here in Brazil.
    It seems to be a problem with logging in App Store in the Mac (Yosemite 10.10.2).
    When I tried the very same userid and password I was able to login in to use my iCloud account from the same computer and also from my iPhone.

    As mentioned in API, permissions is of type InstancePermissions and has valid values as read,write and fullControl.

    Why I am getting this error? Am I doing something wrong here?
    Also, how will I able to know which field are mandatory and which are optional for making AccountField call?
    Could anyone please share information on this ?
    Thanks in advance.

  • Error creating voice message greeting

    I tested my Skype number by calling myself and it only rang and rang. I just verified my settings which have voice messaging enabled. I haven't recorded a greeting and when I try I get "error creating voice message greeting" pop up. 
    Is the lack of a recorded greeting what is keeping voice messaging from working? 
    How do I fix the error to record my greeting? 
    I'm using Windows 8 and Chrome browser. 
    Thanks.

    Since the last "update", (screw-up?), I get "voice message upload error" and "voice message playback error" incessantly.  ONCE it allowed a custom message upload, but, for a 10-sec greeting it loaded a 3 MINUTE silence.  Returning to the "default" greeting causes the same errors.  Yes, I checked all my drivers and YES, I "tried turning it off and on again".
    Please, run the DirectX diagnostics tool (32-bit). Run dxdiag.exe (Start - Run or Win key +R) then press enter or click "OK". Once the diagnostics completes, "Save All information..." to a text file. Please, attach this file to your post.
    Be aware that you will have to zip this file before attaching it here.
    (i.e. compress DxDiag.txt ---> DxDiag.zip)
    Even it the log says everything is "OK" it will still help me determine any possible solutions.

  • How do you create a messages account the new macbook air

    how do you create a messages account the new macbook air

    Not possible to create a new mailbox with the iPhone.
    If the account is an IMAP account, you can create additional server stored mailboxes with the email client used on your computer for accessing the account or via webmail access for the account using a browser. Any additional server stored mailboxes created with an IMAP account will be available automatically when checking the account with the iPhone's Mail client, and will be kept synchronized with the server automatically.
    This is not possible with a POP account. You may be able to create additional server stored mailboxes with a POP account via webmail access for the account using a browser, but such mailboxes will not be available with the iPhone's Mail client, or with any email client used to access the account.

    I need to create a iTunes account using my work email address but when I try it says that there is already an iTunes account linked to my work email - I have never done this so I know that I have not created this and therefore can't answer the security questions in order to check it out.  It also means I can't set up this iTunes account - any ideas?

    When Apple increased security on the accounts we were asked to create security questions and answers and to offer a rescue email address, could you have used the work address then?

  • Service desk error creating support message "help- create support message"

    Hi
    I'm customizing SM 7.0 SP Stack 15 service desk scenario. I'm in a VAR SAP, so It's a mandatory scenario.
    I've done all basic settings from General Settings, Connection to SAP, Online Documentation, ...,
    Business Partners, iBase, Basic BC-Sets for Configuration, Number Ranges. After them , for Scenario-Specific Settings-> Service Desk->Service Provider I've done all these steps. At SAP System Solution Manager, I've created solutions at dswp transaction and EW Alert are centralized these steps works. Transaction notif_create works and iBase are well mantained.
    The problem is when I try create a support message from satellite SAP system. I logged With a SAP user which is BP, key user and has authorizations in a satellite system and I choose help->create support message, so a pop-up appears and I fill the fields, and I press button (Save/Send). An error appears:
    Error in Local Message System: Access via 'NULL' object reference not possible. Message was Not Created
    In order solve the error I review:
    - The satellite SAP system is at the iBase installed components.
    - I've Assign Number Range for ABA notifications at SLF1 transaction.
    - I've Checked number range for Service Desk Message at SLFN transaction.
    - I've configured ABA Message transaction DNO_CUST01, transaction DNO_CUST04

      SAP_BC_CUS_ADMIN       according SAP NOTE 834534

      All these roles are mantained.
    - I've review SAP Notes 834534, 864195, 621927(I haven't applied this SAP Note because it's older)
    Please could you help me?
    Thanks and Regards

    Hi,
    When I try create a SAP message via help->create suuport message, I get the same error so I run help->create support message in a satellite system so I run help->create support message in Solution Manager
    system. Also, a dump is generated in Solution Manager when I try create support message or from satellite or from solution manager.

        Access via 'NULL' object reference not possible.
    What happened?
        Error in the ABAP Application Program
        The current ABAP program "CL_BOR_SERVICE_PPF============CP" had to be
         terminated because it has
        come across a statement that unfortunately cannot be executed.
    Error analysis
        You attempted to use a 'NULL' object reference (points to 'nothing')
        access a component (variable: " ").
        An object reference must point to an object (an instance of a class)
        before it can be used to access components.
        Either the reference was never set or it was set to 'NULL' using the

    How to correct the error
        If the error occures in a non-modified SAP program, you may be able to
        find an interim solution in an SAP Note.
        If you have access to SAP Notes, carry out a search with the following

        If you cannot solve the problem yourself and want to send an error
        notification to SAP, include the following information:
    Information on where terminated
        Termination occurred in the ABAP program "CL_BOR_SERVICE_PPF============CP" -
         in "PROFILE_CONTAINS_PARTNERDEP".
        The main program was "SAPMSSY1 ".

  • An unknown error occurs when trying to use daq express VI's

    When I try to open the daq express VI in labVIEW 8.2 (it doesn't matter which one), the program tries to "initialize" like its supposed to, but then it says that NI Assistant host encountered an error and needs to close, then gives a message saying "an unknown error has occurred."  Also, Measurement and Automation doesn't work anymore, although it did before.  I searched the forums and couldn't find anything like it.  Does anyone know what's going on?

    Hi Kodeeswaran,
    What version of LabVIEW are you using? Are you seeing the same issues with Measurement and Automations Explorer?
    When you reinstalled everything what order did you install all the software?
    The issue might be caused by file permissions. Do you have Administrative rights on the computer? If not can you try replicating the issue while logged on as administrator. If you don't see the error while administrator you will need to change the file permissions for some necessary files:
    Log onto the computer as an administrator
    Browse to the C:\Program Files\National Instruments\MAX directory
    Right-click the MAX folder and select Properties
    Click the Security tab, and click the Add button
    Type in the user name and click OK
    Give the user Read & Execute, List Folder Contents, and Read permission
    Click Apply and then OK
    If you have several different users and want all users to use the DAQ Assistant, repeat the above steps but type everyone for the user name. The above steps are written for Windows XP with a NTFS file system. For previous Windows versions, the procedure will be very similar but may not be exactly the same.
