Good point. I automatically log in, so I didn't think of that. Yes, if you are not logged into an account, you can't add any buddies. Take Care John Panarese On Aug 1, 2009, at 4:37 PM, Mark Baxter wrote: You need to be logged in before you can add a buddy; that's the only thing

Ichat does not create accounts for you on any chat servers. If you don't have the account, you won't be able to set it up in Ichat. There should be a status button near the top of your screen that might say disconnected, or connected, or whatever. If it doesn't say Connected or Surfing

Hi Jenny, You don't need an AIM account to use iChat. If you set up an iChat account, you entered your password, etc. as part of the set up. Start up iChat. If the AIM Buddy List window doesn't appear automatically (which you can check with the window chooser menu command: VO-F2 twice

Adium versus IChat

Hi all, My name is Donna Goodin, and I just joined this group last week. I am listening to Mike's podcast. I'm curious, is there a reason to use Adium instead of IChat? Thanks, Donna -Original Message- From: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com [mailto:macvisionar...@googlegroups.com

Hi Donna; welcome to the list. the main reason is that ichat is limited in what kinds of accounts it will take when entering buddies. You cannot enter a yahoo id. and lets face it most of my contacts have yahoo i d's. Hope that helps, Max On Jul 27, 2009, at 10:28 AM, Donna Goodin
