I always get this message as soon as i log in or come back from sleep, what's wrong?
I don't even see the option for the kerberos realm. Here is what I have:

Are AD users able to login from the OS X login screen? After I had the server working with AD I locked all AD users out of all the services except iChat via the access tab. I hope this helps.

HI,
Starting in iChat 4
There are two menus on this page. One at the top and the slightly lower one headed "iChat 4 How-Tos"
This menu contains links to Setting up a Screen Name*, the Start Up Screens and so on up to Video Chats
Screen Names*
These have changed some what since I wrote that page.
Apple still issue IDs via iCloud now rather than MobileMe
These are still Valid AIM Screen Names and will work in iChat 6 (Lion OS X 10.6.x) and Mountain Lion (OS X 10.8.x) with Messages.
However these two version have a second Log in to a server called Me.com which in turn then allows the AIM servers to "See" the password held at Apple.
Effectively it means iCloud issued @me.com and @icloud.com Names will not work in iChat 5, iChat 4 or earlier.
Also the "Name" part is essentially know to AIM so you cannot use the email itself to "create" an AIM Name
The AIM Registration page has also moved
AIM will accept you registering and email as the AIM name as the @ is a valid character or a plain Username (No @AIM or AOL suffix needed)
You can also use Jabber IDs
GoogleMail accounts can have "Talk" enabled in the account settings and the ID can then be used as a Googletalk ID.
Facebook also run a Jabber server and you have to enable "Chat" on your settings there.
There are also many other Public Jabber servers you could join (mostly registration is though a Jabber specific app than the created ID is used in iChat)
Summary.
I have linked you to my website about iChat at the iChat 4 How-to point.
The broader strokes of Getting a Screen Name are that it is an AIM or AIM Valid Name or Jabber ID that is needed (many people use both)
However since I wrote that page Apple's MobileMe has come to and end and names are now issued through iCloud.
Initial iCloud IDs ended @me.com (like MobileMe did) and now tend to be @icloud.com name
These ARE valid AIM names but will only work in iChat 6 and Messages (Lion and Mountain Lion) due to the way these password checking process works between AIM and Apple.
This in turn means any iCloud Issued name will not work in iChat 5 or earlier versions.

Hi,
From iChat 3 to iChat 6 and then Messages the basics have remained the same.
I have a G4 tower and it came with OX 10.2 and soon after that iChat was released in it's AV form (iChat2)
The Tower can run everything up to Leopard (OS X 10.5.8) and therefore iChat 4.0.9.
You haven't actually said which version you are running. (OS or iChat)
In the Applications folder you have highlight the app and then do a Get Info (Apple key + i key together ( or ⌘ + i) )
This will tell you the version of iChat you have.
If it is iChat 3 or 4 it will be able to join the AIM and the Jabber services.
As Starting point you can register for AIM names here.
You have to enter a real First and Last name and then Test a Screen Name and add and confirm a Password.
You will need to use a recovery email and list answers to Security questions for Password Recovery and the like.
Apple Isssued IDs can also be be valid AIM names but due to recent changes in Lion (iChat 6) and Messages there can be issues with using them in earlier versions.
If you have an @mac.com ID this will work in any version of iChat and Messages providing your password is 16 characters or Less (An AIM server limit)
In IChat 6 and Messages the iCloud Issued IDs are held on a different server and as a Check the application logs into AIM and to Apple. The login to Apple then lets AIM "read" the password.
These are the IDs ending in @me.com and @icloud.com (these will not work in iChat 5 or earlier)
SInce iChat 3 you can also use Jabber IDs.
GoogleMail IDs that have had the Talk option enabled (In Products) can be used as a Jabber ID (referred to as Google talk)
Facebook IDs that have had "Chat" enabled are also valid IDs
There are many other Jabber servers around the world.
These are an interlinked network of Private and Public servers.
Since iChat 4 the Adding of Googletalk IDs has had it's own selection (it is due to Google not following a general rule of thumb over server names)
Once you have an ID or screen name you want to set up then you need to do the following.
Open iChat.
Go to the iChat Menu > Preferences > Accounts
At the bottom of the list on the left click the + icon
In the new pane click the top item to show the drop down options.
Broadly speacking they are in two groups ("AIM" and "Jabber")
The AIM subset will likely offer you @mac.com, MobileMe and AIM
The Jabber Subset should offer Jabber and possibly Google depending on Version.
The MobileMe option will not work for @me.com addresses as these have moved server for Verification of the password.
As I said above the @me.com name and the @icloud.com names will not work in iChat 3, 4, or 5)
The @mac.com option should still work but if it does not (and your password is 16 characters or less) use the AIM option but enter the ID in full.
For Jabber IDs use the Jabber option.
In iChat 3 you need to use this for the GoogleTalk option.
Once you have clicked the Done button and the Buddy list has appeared for a Jabber list go to the server settings tab
Some Jabber servers use SSL (It will automaticaly change to port 5223)
Others do not (port 5222)
In iChat 3 change the Google Server name to talk.google.com
Summary
Get an Screen Name (AIM) of Jabber ID
Open the app and go to the Accounst part of the Preferences
Click the + icon
In the new pane select the most suitable option in the top item drop down.
Change server settings on Jabber accounts if required.

IChat screen sharing and video not working on MacBook but works on Mac pro
I have a MacBook and MacBook pro. Both have the lion os 10.7.2. I can use iChat on the MacBook pro for screen sharing, video chat, and text chatting, with others remote to me. However, I can only do texting with the MacBook. I can do screen sharing via Finder between my MacBook and MacBook pro. I can do FaceTime between both systems. I can also do FaceTime between the MacBook and anyone remotely.
I also tried installing teamviewer on the MacBook, and on a remote MacBook..... And I get the same results where I cannot share the screen, from the one that has not been working.
I have checked the settings under system preference and made sure screen sharing was enabled. I have checked under iChat under video to make sure screen sharing was checked.
The macbook that is having this problem is configured for AIM for iChat
I have run out of ideas. Any suggestions on what I might try?
ThanksOk,
I will list the ports in greater detail and point out when iChat uses them.
AIM Login and 1-1 Text Chatting
iChat version 1 through 5 will Log in to the AIM server on port 5190 (TCP Protocol) by default.
Since iChat 2 we have been posting here that the AIM servers allow a Login on almost any port and have been suggesting port 443.
This is used by both Web Browsers for secure Login to some sites and by the Mail app with some mail servers.
It is also below port 1024 (most domestic routers have the ports above this figure closed) In some campus situations using port 443 will normally allow at least Login and Text chatting.
iChat 6 uses port 443 by default.
File Transfers (AIM)
When doing File Transfers with AIM Buddies iChat will move to using Port 5190 on the UDP Protocol.
This cannot be changed. (This invokes the little Message about Starting Direct IM in an open Chat)
It also uses this port for Pics-in-chats, dropping Files on a Buddy's name with out a Chat or sending other files that are not pics.
In the case of Port Forwarding some devices don't like port 5190 being forwarded "twice" which is another reason for moving the login and Text chat port.
Jabber Logins
No matter what Jabber server you use ichat will use one of two ports (5222 and 5223)
Which one it uses is dependent on whether it needs and is using an SSL Login or not.
SSL Logins use port 5223 and NON SSL one use 5222 (ticking or Unticking the SSL box on a Jabber account will automatically change the port).
Google Talk is the exception in that it allow a Login on port 443 as well.
The First Apple Doc I linked you to says iChat uses port 5220 in Jabber.
I run Little Snitch and have never seen any version of iChat use this port at any time.
Bonjour
Any Mac to Mac Connection or Mac to any Bonjour able peripheral will be on port 5353.
This is normally opened (Preset) in the Mac Firewall for the Finder/System side of Sharing.
iChat needs and uses two other ports (5297 UDP and 5298 on both TCP and UDP)
As they an LAN Side connections the router would normally pass them.
At iChat 3 there were issues with the Mac Firewall (it included UDP set up and the preset in the firewall only listed them and TCP so we had people add all the iChat ports (you had to manually enter them in Tiger)
A/V Chats
No matter which Buddy List you start from iChat will do A/V chats the same way.
The Visible Invite you or your Buddy sends is on port 5678 (UDP)
In iChat 3 and earlier iChat then moves to port 5060 to send the SIP Connection Process invite behind the scenes (SIP = Session Initiation Protocol)
Port 5060 is one of 4 ports internationally agreed for SIP (How VoIP phones connect) (5060-5063).
Although ISPs were not supposed to block Through traffic many started blocking End users and then Charging them to open these ports (Many ISP were telecom companies that were losing long distant Telephone calls monies).
The SIP process then in iChat 3 contacts a server run by Apple for this purpose (Snatmap.mac.com to give it it's full name).
This acts like a old fashioned telephone operator connecting the call.
SIP is a text based process.
Your end "Calls" the operator.
The Operator "Calls" Buddy.
Buddy Accepts
iChat then negotiates the ports to be used.
In iChat 2 and 3 it uses 4 ports (vid in Vid out, Audio In and Audio Out) from "the group of 20" starting at the bottom (16384 to 16387 normally)
Three and 4 way chats uses more ports (which is why 20 are set aside)
In iChat 4 Apple realised the issue with the 5060 port and changed the way iChat worked
Since then it has Sent the invite on Port 5678 but then moved to port 16402 (it starts at the top of a smaller group of 20)
All Video and Audio traffic is also now on one port (so no need for 20 ports and iChat now lists 10).
NOTES so Far.
File Sharing during a Chat converts the Chat to Direct IM for AIM Logins
This is Peer-to-Peer in AIM
A/V Chats are Peer-To-Peer and you can actually log out of the Buddy list and continue the chat. (The exception is using iChat 6's AIM Video relay option)
Screen Sharing
Screen Sharing is an Audio Chat with a VNC connection along side.
Both bits have to wok to avoid the Pop-up to send to Apple and the Log that contains.
The Audio part is on port 16402 and the VNC part is random. (So random it is different every time you do it)
The reason it is classed as an Audio Chat+ is so the AppleScript for Auto Accept can filter out Screen Sharing connection and Not Auto Accept them.
This does have a knock on effect as far as your Router is concerned as already mentioned earlier.
You cannot Forward or Trigger the random Port so you have to use UPnP in your router to open the ports.
NOTES
Jabber File sharing may possibly be on port 1080 as listed in the Server Article I linked you to (I have also seen it written about in other stuff I have come across)
However Little Snitch does not seem to confirm this either.
Most time it will be peer-to-peer like the AIM connections for this.
However some Jabber servers do not seem to allow this and have this Jabber65 Proxy set up which passes things Server to Server in between it leaving your end and arriving at a Buddy.
This on Port 7777 but you do not need to open this port (unless you are running a Jabber server)
I have yet to test File Transfers using a Yahoo Buddy List in iChat 6.
AppleCare and Geniuses.
Previously I have been contacted by Geniuses in Stores asking to test customer's iChat.
They and the Applecare people have details about Apple wants an designed the App to work.
What they don't have is the knowledge about what it takes to set it up in the "real world".
There are literally thousands of Makes and Models of routers.
Some like the Thomson-Alcatel brand state they are SIP/VoIP ready but this means the router strips out all SIP Data trying to send it to a Phone.
Early models of Alcatels can get around this with a tweak. Later models can't.
Motorola devices tend not to have UPnP.
Apple Base Stations have Port Mapping Protocol instead of UPnP and this needs setting up.
The Zyxel range definitely does not like the dual use of port 5190 and does much better using UPnP (You almost certainly have to do your AIM login on port 443 with these).
1. I have two computers (MacPro and MacBook Pro) that are both running Lion 10.7.2 and both running iChat 6.0.1. <<-- Fine
2. The Netgear router model is: WNDR3700. <<<<--- With any Brand there are exceptions and I do wonder about this one
3. The firewall for both Macs is turned on and in the advanced area iChat is listed as being "allowed." <<<<---- Fine
4. In iChat, under the video options, "Screen Sharing Allowed" is checked. <<<<<---- Fine
5. In System Preferences, "Screen Sharing" is checked and this is for "All Users" at present. <<<<<---- Not Required
6. There are two separate AIM accounts being used for iChat purposes. <<<<<---- OK
7. In iChat preferences, each AIM account is "Enabled" under "Account Information" and the "Server Settings" show the Server as "api.oscar.aol.com" and the Port is "443" and "Use SSL" is checked. <<<<---- As it should be
From this and the other info in the first port it was only the router set up that seem to throw some light on a possible cause (Port Forwarding and UPnP conflict)
If just doing Port Forwarding the ports listed would have covered things (Except the Screen Sharing's random port)
Regarding your latest post.
I have table similar to that on my Sagem 2504Fast Modem/router combined device and it too seems to list a different port on the external side on occasions.
I would try the router with the Disable SIP ALG unticked (so it is not disabled). If the Help info on the right gives any info about what this Netgear version does it would be helpful.
Some are like the Thomson-Alcatels I was talking about in that it points the SIP data to a specific place (Possibly a Phone socket on the device)
Others seem to provide an "boost" to enable SIP to work and don't seem to get in the way of iChat.
Try adding the Names in Table 1 from this page and see if you can Video to those.
There are 6 names in total (I am actually only seeing one on Line as I type)

Hi Guys,
Wondering if Any one has done this or could suggest the needful,
We are running CUCM 10.5 cluster and currently using self-signed certificate for Tomcat. Now, we would like to get it signed by Third party CA.
Just to be clear that we are doing this for Jabber clients so they should not get prompted for certificate Invalid.
Now the issue; The CUCM is using IP address as hostname and for that reason we had to add the desired IP address under SAN (alternate name) through set web-security command. We did that successfully and restarted the Tomcat service and when we run the Show web-security command, it does show the added SAN;
altNames: 2 names
1) UCS-CUCM-UB.domain (dNSName)
2) 10.x.x.x (dNSName)
But when we try to generate the new CSR, it didn't contain the modified SAN, just the first one i.e only 1) UCS-CUCM-UB.domain (dNSName)
Is there anything we missed here to get the added SAN being populated in the new CSR ?
Regards
MHi Gordon,
Thank you for your prompt response. For recommendation, you are right but we don't want to initiate that change for now unless, there is no other option left.
While Generating new CSR, under SAN, there is only Parent Domain field which is populated with our domain name. How should I add the IP address there ?
Regards -
Okay - so I am very new at this -
I recently bought an iBook G4 - and yesterday bought an iSight - and so today I opened iChat for the first time and set it up (or so I thought).
I have MSN messenger on my computer -which I have been using to chat.
Now - when i log into Ichat it asks for my Login ID and password - and everytime I go to put it in it says that iChat was unable to login to AOL Instant Messenger because my screen name or password was incorrect.
Well as far as I know - no it's not...but how can I find out what these two things are?
Please help.
LaraHi Lara,
Welcome To The Apple Discussion Pages.
Following on from Sandra's good advice. (I read it the same way).
This page explains how to set up an AIM or @mac name as your account name. http://www.siriusaddict.com/ichat.html
The Jabber side of iChat can connect to the MSN service but will require you get a Jabber name from one of these Public Servers
How to set this side is described here at Jabber.org.au.
The finer points of linking to the MSN or other IM services is explained Here at the AllForces Blog
Just summarise the Jabber side.
You need a Jabber name created at one of the Public Server.
Based on the need for a Server that has a MSN Transport. See the All Forces Blog.
The Jabber.org.au site tells you how to go about getting a name and setting up iChat - the AllForces Blog tells you how to set up the Transports.
You will find that you have first to download and use anouter Jabber client to actually create a Jabber account somewhere as iChat can not do this yet.
If you were looking to Video chat to MSN Buddies then iChat can not do this. In fact MSN for Macs can not do this either (Good Old Microsoft).
There are two Open Source MSN clones that can.
aMSN Although there are some reports that the Audio side of this is hit and miss.
Mercury is another.
Hopefully this will point you in the right direction.

ISight camera will not connect...
...from my network anyway! I have firewall turned off on my MBP, my wireless router settings have firewall settings off AND my ISP (DSL) router firewall settings are off. It works on my network at the office but any time I try to connect (one-way or otherwise) from home, no dice.
Anyone have any tips?Hi Ken,
In this case the modem itself is routing to your LAN.
This will almost certainly mean that the ports needed for iChat will have to be opened. (See Rj's first post re Firewall and Ports)
By default most domestic devices that route have ports up to port 1024 open. This allows common apps like Web browsing and mail to work "Out-of-the-Box".
iChat uses a total of 29 ports for iChat to work with AIM, Jabber and Bonjour.
They also use two interent protocols as well.
TCP 5190, 5220, 5222, 5223, 5298
UDP 5060, 5190, 5297, 5298, 5353, 5678, 16384-16403
More on why and which does which here http://www.ralphjohnsuk.dsl.pipex.com/page3.html
In your Network Preferences it will list a "router" IP towards the bottom. This should be the default IP to use in a Web Browser to access the modem's set up pages.
This page http://portforward.com/routers.htm may list your device. By clicking it you will come to a list of Applications and Games that you can also click on.
This will lead to a specific set of instructions for that APP.
Currently that site does not have the right ports for iChat (it used to).
However at the top of the page it will give you instructions on how to access the device with default User ID and Passwords as well as the IP.
Next we have to know if the 192.168.xxx.xxx IP that you computer gets is given out from the modem by it doing DHCP.
(you have one level of DHCP to the ISP that by the nature of the modem stops there)
IF the modem is doing DHCP to the LAN then we have to make sure it or the Wireless router are not doing it.
iChat does not like it when two devices on a LAN are doing DHCP (The nature of routers is that they allow the passing of addressing data through. This creates subnets.
Modem to Computer via router
Router to computer.
As the router is "closer" you only see this IP in the Network prefs. In some circumstances you may want to use two IPs, but iChat is not one of them.
If we know the Modem make and Model and the same for the wireless router we could point you at more direct info.
The goal is to have only 1 DHCP server and one instance of NAT
Network Address Translation (NAT) is how the modem and router move data arriving on one IP number to the number(s) on the other side of the device. There are about 6 main ways of doing this which in iChat's case can lead to problems betewwn either end. Port Forwarding, Port Triggering and DMZ are all use NAT
Now unfortunately differnt routing devices do different things when you change the settings.
Turning Off DHCP in an Apple Airport device makes it a Wireleess Access Point. It allows any addressing from the modem to control the LAN.
Most other devices, if you turn Off DHCP, require that you set Static addresses.
Static addressing limits the data from one device to the next.
To acheive the goal of avoiding NAT being done twice you may need to use Static addressing with UPnP (a non NAT way of opening the port) between the devices.
Modem <-> Router <-> computer
This is two subnets but they are closed and independent of each other.
I know this is a lot of info. It can be shorter if we know what devices you have.

My google talk account will not work with Jabber on iChat.
I have an iBook G4, I know I know. But when I try using my google account in iChat it just doesn't work. I have tried deleting it from the panel and re-entering it but I get the same result: 'Connection not connect to host xmpp.l.google.com'. Everything is on default. I have a feeling that it may be my wireless connection with my wireless modem, but that is just a hunch.
Any info that you need to help I will try to provide, just please help!Hi,
The Host is "wrong".
In OS x 10.5.8 you should have iChat 4.0.8 or 4.0.9 (it depends if you have done a particular Security Update and also where you look up the iChat details)
This means that in Adding a new Account In iChat Menu > Preferences > Accounts and clicking the + icon you should see several choices in the Drop down at the top item in the new pane that appears.
Above the line should be AIM, MobileMe and @mac.com
Below the line should be GoogleTalk and Jabber.
The reason GoogleTalk is separated like this is because Google do not conform to the Jabber Server naming method.
With all other Jabber server you create an [email protected]
So you would have [email protected] for example at Jabber Australia.
Your google ID could be [email protected] or username @gmail.com
Technically this could be two servers using the regular Jabber method.
GoogleTalk's server is talk.google.com
In iChat 3 when Jabber was added to iChat you had to set this manually.
From iChat 4 onwards the software sorted it for you.
Go to iChat menu > Preferences > Accounts
Highlight the Jabber/Google ID and then click the Server Settings tab
If you are logged out the text should be dark and editable.
Change the Server name to talk.google.com
Make sure SSL is enable and the port reads 5223
If in Doubt delete the Account (highlight and use the minus Button) and the re-add the account as GoogleTalk.

One more iChat and Yahoo Messenger question
I have been PC user for years, but I only recently saw the light...
I have a MacBook Pro recently updated with Lion. I have everything updated. So, I am trying to communicate with a friend through iChat using Yahoo Messenger. He has a brand new PC.
I can log into iChat using my Yahoo Messenger account. He can do the same. But, even though we can see each other on our Buddy List, and we can text each other, the option "Invite to video chat" is grayed out for me. If he tries to invite me to video response, but I get no notice.
If I have Yahoo Messenger running at the same time, it takes control, and iChat shows me offline. If I turn Yahoo Messenger off, I still have no option to video chat.
I have been through the pages here, but I do not have the experience I had with PC. So, going through and deleting files in a Mac is a little indemidating for me. Can someone welcome me to the fold and walk me through any tips you can think of that may fix my problem? Remember, little baby steps...
If not, thanks for reading,
PatrickHi,
There is no "FIx" as such.
All the major IM services that do Video somewhere along the line use different protocols in the connection process or in the actually Video Feed.
iChat uses a Process called Session Initiation Protocol. (SIP)
It does not matter if you have an AIM Buddy list ((One with an AIM valid ID as Lgin details) or a Jabber one or a Yahoo one or even if you enable th Bonjour one if you have other Macs on your LAN it will use this Protocol.
This Protocol is compatible with the AIM Application on PCs
There is a thrdr Party App called Trillian which in it's Pro Version can also Video with iChat.
The other side of the coin is that it will only Video to other iChat Users that have Google/Jabber or Yahoo Names.
By the same token Google run a Jabber Server
Jabber servers use a process called Jingle to do Video
Google however have altered their version and it is not that compatible with other Jabber apss that can Video chat
This includes Google's Standalone App called Google Talk (PC Only), the Browser Plug-ins it produces for Macs (Intels only) and PC and the Chat Option on their Web Pages
Yahoo uses a straight Web Feed for Video and STUN for the Audio chat along side.
STUN is close to SIP but not close enough to allow Audio Connections..
NOTE
iChat has had the Ability to Text chat to any Jabber Buddy including GoogleTalk ones since iChat 3
iChat 3 was nearly 6 years ago and no Jabber Video ability has bee added to the app in all that time.
Any changes are not going to be "in the next Update"

All contacts appear to be offline, when not.
Hi, I´m running iChat on a MacBook Pro with latert version of Lion. When set up the account I used my @me account, the set up a second account @gmail. For some reason when I try to contact a friend from my address book, says that they are offline, when not. I deleted the gmail account to see if working thru AIM/Jabber was the problem. But still have the same issue.
Help!Hi,
I will try to explain this another way.
iChat can join or rather use several of the Instant Messages Service that are out there.
When iChat was created it could only join the AIM service and Apple made and Agreement with AIM that the Apple IDs ending @mac.com were recognised as valid AIM names.
Later when Apple changed to MobileMe @me.com ending names were added to the Agreement.
This means you can have an AIM Name or an Apple ID ending in @mac.com or @me.com and you can add Buddies to that Buddy List that have those same type names.
In this Pic I have changed My Buddy list to show Screen Names only (and then edited those)
I have indicated one of each type of name that is valid with this Buddy List.
The AIM registration page is here
The Main part looks like this

You can enter the "Username" part or you can enter any other email you have.
This way it is possible that you can have a Buddy with an @yahoo.com name as an AIM Buddy as in your later pic.
There is another way. If they are on PCs then the latest version of AIM for PCs allows them to add GoogleTalk and FaceBook Buddies. The Mac Version also seems to do this now.
It also seems that some of the Social Networking sites are also connecting up with other Instant Message Services.
Jabber (Google and Facebook included)
The other main service that iChat can join is Jabber.
It has been able to do this since iChat 3.
The Names or IDs people have come from a range of Jabber Servers.
People runnning those servers set them up so that they can contact other servers and by doing so provide a network.
A person would join one of these servers and end up with an ID that was in the form of [email protected] (so for an example I could set up the ID of ralph at a server called jabberchat.com and my ID in full would be [email protected])
Very few servers also offer email services
Most Jabber server need you to register via Jabber application.
There are a couple of exceptions to this.
Jabber Australia (http://www.jabber.org.au/) allows you to register via a Web Browser.
Both Google and Facebook allow you to Enable Talk or Chat on the account settings there and then use the name in a Jabber able application.
Google do not stick to the naming format that every other Jabber Server does.
They call their jabber Server talk.google.com whilst a ID from there is your Googlemail ID.
This means that in iChat you have ot set up a Google Buddy list differently or at least separately to account for this.
In iChat 3 this was a Manual change (Specific iChat 3 Instructions)
So....
Buddy Names and IDs can look like emails (in some cases they are email addresses as well)
In most cases these names and IDs can only be used with one service although that is becoming more and more blurred.
I have not seen email addresses ending is ss or do or oa
I would not tend to look at a Jabber server that was not using English so I also don't know of any jabber servers that end with those letters.
Although this is a very small list it does not seem to list any Servers with those Endings
This would appear to indicate that you added what were random email addresses to your Google List.
AS Yahoo names would not normally appear in an AIM (@me.com) list I suggest you have done the same there.

Anyone have a fix for Facebook video chat not working in Mavericks?
I have seen many people having the problem of video chat not working in Facbook since upgrading to Mavericks. The good news is the camera icon has reappeared, but it still is not working.
Any help would be AWESOME!!
thxHi,
If it is in Messages it will need to be Messages to Messages.
i.e. a Mac Buddy also using iChat or Messages to do Jabber Video chats in the app.
This means it will not connect to someone using a Jabber app that can do Video or the web Page login and using "chat" from there.
I believe the Web Browser method with Facebook's own end to end connection use Flash.
You may need to update a version of Flash if your have it or install it if you do not.
FaceTime would not connect to the Jabber connections that Facebook is running.
FaceTime is it's own service and does not connect to others.
Messages and FaceTime are run on different servers and you can in fact run different IDs in each.
(this can causes issues when your Invoke a FaceTime Video Chat from Messages which presumes the Contact is using the same ID).

Best way to do simple remote desktop support?
As someone who occasionally needs to help friends and family, what is the most useful tool to support a mac remotely, over the Internet? I don't seem to actually be able to use any of the tools that come with Leopard, since I don't feel like manually configuring the remote routers of my friends, nor do I want to spend hundreds of dollars supporting them. Am I missing something with Apple's Screen Sharing, or am I correct in these assumptions?
Not sure I want to ask my friends to buy into iChat, since this requires a paid subscription to iMac, correct? Or will the free version support screen sharing?
I've tried using Timbuktu, but even this seems too hard for some of my family to fathom. It also costs lots of money.
Is VNC (ie. chicken of the VNC, etc) still the best way to go on this? Other ideas?
The assumption here is that the other person is a total novice, and can barely use the computer other than email. You would be suprised how many people out there are at that level...(g)iChat can use a free aim or jabber account and you have access to all of the features that come with it. Leopard and iChat/Screen sharing is going to be the easiest way to do the support you're speaking of

Ichat not connecting to jabber account
Hi - I'm relatively new to Macs in general and especially new to ichat. I'm using my gmail account to connect to ichat, but it won't connect. I've checked the user name and password, I've checked the server and the port. I also have connectivity to the internet and I'm the admin on the computer so I know it's not a parental controls issue. I'm also not logged into gmail and ichat at the same time
Why is ichat telling me "iChat can't communicate with the Jabber account [email protected] Could not connect to host talk.google.com."
This is so frustrating! Any help is appreciated.
Thanks!
RaynaHi,
||iChat Ports||TCP||UDP||
|AIM|5190|5190|
|A/V|none|5678, 16393-16402|
|Bonjour|5298|5297, 5298, 5353|
|Jabber|5220,5222, 5223|none|
Note this is the iChat 4 and 5 Range
Add port 5060 UDP for iChat 2 and 3 and extend the group of 10 to 16384-16403 (20 ports)
iChat 4 and 5 also uses an undeclared Random port to do the Screen Sharing part and works if you can and do use UPnP (Or Port Mapping Protocol) to open ports in your routing device.
This Info is from http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1507?viewlocale=en_US for iChat 3 ports which lists the Bonjour and Jabber ports as well.
This one http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2282?viewlocale=en_US lists the changes (reduction in the A/V Group mainly) but does not refer to the first for Bonjour and Jabber.
Then there is this
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=ServerAdmin/10.6/en/im5945b424.html
This does also list port 7777 for Federation (things to do with linking with other Jabber servers)
It lists 1080 for File Transfers using a Proxy (Not sure if this is Jabber or not)
It also lists "5269 TCP This port is used for encrypted TLS server-to-server connections, as well as nonencrypted connections". I have not come across this on the Client side (but it does say Server to Sever)
As the Clients may still be using iChat 3 (or in fact earlier) port 5060 is still listed and the A/V group is wider as a consequence as they will need them.
The biggest issue will be the Random Port for Screen Sharing.
As far as I can tell this an Audio Chat alongside a VNC part for the Screen Pics.
Both need to work for iChat Screen Sharing to work.
I hope this helps.

Jabber login from public network not working
Hello all,
i am trying to register jabebr from public network with use of EXP-C and E.
but facing below error:thanks fro your response to correct me with configuration.
1) Configuration as it pertains to the design on the Expressways
i applied as per design and still open all ports between firewall for jabber.
2) Firewall blocking the UDP traffic.
if no rule define, how can it block and what need to configure for jabber with audio?
First question to you is are you using Single NIC or Dual NIC on the Expressway-E?
i am using single NIC.
If you are doing a Single NIC design and will have a private IP for the Expressway-E you must fulfill these 4 requirements
1) Static NAT Mode Enabled on the IP Configuration page of the Exp-E
i will enable it on EXPE>.
2) Static NAT Address Configured on the IP page of the Exp-E
what need to EXPE for this NAT option?
3) Expressway-C must resolve the Expressway-E FQDN to the Public IP, not the private
if this is resolving private ip, would be any problem?
4) NAT Reflection (Hairpinning) must be configured on the firewall so that traffic from the Expressway-C can be sent to the Expressway-E public IP and that can be redirected to the Expressway-E private IP. Please note not all firewalls support this functionality
please tell me how can enable NAT reflection on firewall to working it?
thanks -
Cisco Jabber 9.6 for window and Unity
Hi All,
I am having some hard time getting jabber working properly... I have a few questions, i hope that i can have answers for.
1. Now, just to use Jabber on the destop(I don't want to create CSF profile as that consume one license) do i still need a license?
2. Jabber can connect to CUC... users are getting :" you are not assigned in to your voicemail account. Go to the phone Account tab in the option window and enter your username/pass in the voicemail section.
But this VM option does not exist... Some other docs mention appliction tab in the CUP server itself but still no go. Other also mention LDAP integration but i can have LDAP ingrate with CUC yet.
Thanks1. If you dont want to use the Jabber as softphone and want to use for only IM control , then no need of CSF device and no license required.
2.
Check the service profile on CUCM set like above for credential source .
