AIM not connecting

I just had this same problem. Was working then it wasn't.

The fix for me was to remove the AIM from the iphone, then reinstall it. Works great now.

Hope this helps.

I also had the same problem. I cleared my screen name and password from the AIM settings. The I relaunched the app and it prompted me to re-enter. Then it signed on.

Thanks for this tip. I've been having this problem yesterday, did what you suggested and it worked great!

Happened to me too yesterday, and today it's back. Maybe it was some kind of systemwide problem.

Reports are that AIM was down due to changes on their ends which incorporates the new PUSH feature in the new update coming tuesday.....this is all hearsay though 🙂

I am having the same problem today as well with AIM. When you said you cleared your aim name, etc. did you mean on the iphone, on the computer in mail.app, or on aim itself? If it is an AIM problem, maybe I should wait, although some have said yours came back today, but mind has not, yet. Also when I was complaining about battery drainage, someone on another sight recommended turning off PUSH in settings. What happens when I do that? Will that affect Mobile me? will it affect AIM, although it was on when I tried to access AIM.

Thanks. Ellen

Ellen,

You'll want to do this on the iphone itself. You can do it by going into:

Settings>AIM and clear out your screen name and password from the top.

Once you have done this go back to your home screen. Touch the AIM icon and it'll ask you to login to AIM again with your credentials. Once you do this, you should be back in.

I followed the process as indicated be eCarlos and now AIM is working fine. Thanks for the suggestions everyone. I'm back up and working now.

Carlos, Thank you so much. I think it worked! I also am trying another free app called IM+. It wasn't working either, but since I fixed AIM with your instructions, IM+ is working now, also, but I'm not sure I like it all that much. Not sure yet.

I'm glad it worked out for you. 🙂

Yep! This worked perfect. I'd been having this problem for about a week and now it's working great. Spread the word!

Tried this multiple times, no luck.
