Cannot Sign Into Ichat -won't recognize any password
Hi folks - A couple of days ago I woke my Mac (Imac 27" 2.8 ghz Intel Core i7 running OSX 10.7.5) and had a message from Ichat (ver. 6.0.2) (which I always have open) saying AOL Instant Messenger password 'Ichat can't log in to ------username----- because yoir login ID or password is incorrect. I've tried every possible password it could be, but none have worked.
'Remember this password in my keychain' was checked, as well.
I went into preferences and changed the password there, but still the same message.
I downloaded an update to Ichat, but it wouldn't let me install it on my system saying it couldn't, even though the requirements for the operating system were several updates ago.
There's no option for 'forget your password?' to have it emailed to you or anything like that...
I've since downloaded and successfully run the latest version of AOL messenger, which is different than the Ichat I was using (which strangely enough, says AIM and AOL instan Messenger, even though it says Ichat in my applications folder and on the icon when I drag it to the dock).
However, the AOL Instant Messenger I just downloaded is not as good as the Ichat I was using..my video is vertical and squashed and lower quality and the sound is poor as well (on my end and the other users).
Any help is much appreciated!
Thank you.
iMac, Mac OS X (10.7.5)
