Hi,
For some reason on my new MacBook Pro, even if I have it plugged in and set to stay awake completely, but have the display set to sleep, for some reason if I'm gone for a long time, Messages disconnects. Once I wake the display, Messages reconnects automatically, but like I said...I don't have the machine set to sleep. Only the display. How can I fix this? Any ideas?
Thanks (in advance)...
Mac Pro, OS X Mavericks (10.9.3)
Hi,
Can you explain which windows you have open in Messages and which of those are indicating that you were Off Line.
Messages with AIM and Jabber accounts wand displaying those Buddy lists will make the Status or yourself "Idle" after 10 minutes (the default idle time)
Then depending on your Filter settings for Displaying your Buddy Lists (Availability being one) AND how many AIM Account you might have logged in they will then bounce up your List turning from Amber (Idle) to Green (Available)
I have 5 AIM valid Screen Names logged in.
I display each in separate Buddy Lists.
On Buddy list has the other 4 as Buddies.
They all can go Amber if I walk away from the computer (If even have th Screen Not to Sleep as well).
Being Idle is not being Off line.

This is actually not what I'm referring to. Everything in Messages goes offline after a certain period of time of inactivity on my machine, yet, I have the MacBook Pro plugged in and my energy settings are set to stay awake, except for the display.
As I asked I could do with you explaining further.
My suggestion with a pic with supposed to be a bit of a prompt.

Hi Syrcle - Did you ever solve this issue? I am experiencing the exact same thing. My jabber account in Messages does not go Idle, it goes Offline after a certain period of inactivity (even though I am plugged in and my drive is set to never sleep). Thanks
