Hi
I opened up AdiumX today and found that the connection to AIM through my @mac.com email account has a login issue.
Now, when I opened Messages it stated that if you want to continue using .mac or .me address for AIM then you need to upgrade to 10.7.3.
Now I am on Maverick, so I guess that is fine, but I still get the error through Adium.
Can someone advise me if there ware others with the same issue, and also if there is a way to fix this.
Thanks
Unfortunately as of June 30, 2014, there are changes with me.com and AIM accounts documented here:
OS X: Using me.com or mac.com IDs with AIM in iChat requires OS X v10.7.2 or later
I would contact the author of Adium for an update to address the issue as well.
Adium says on their help page:
AIM accounts using @mac.com or @me.com addresses no longer work with Adium. We do not yet have a timeline for a fix.
I'd check there regularly.
Ouf!
OK
Maybe Apple can send me some money to get all my business cards reprinted :-)
AIM login doesn't work
