When I open iChat the following text appears:



"iChat was unable to login to the AOL Instant Messenger service because your screen name or password was incorrect."



However, I haven't even tried to logg in! Secondly, I don't have an AOL account, and want to logg in with my mac account. I thus in preferences told the comp that I wanted to logg on with my appleid account. But it doesn't seem to work! Have I missed something? Say I have apple ID abc123, doesn't that mean that I also have email address abc123@mac.com? Any help would be appreciated.

    I saw this yesterday and earlier today it seems to be AOL related in some way.



    It was down yesterday for me for around an hour and again today much about the same.



    No idea what is causing it except some sort of hardware problems or upgrades of some description.

    My dad says he doesn't have any problems with his iChat, and doesn't even have to give a password. I made a new apple ID yesterday, as I forgot my last one, and tried to logg on with that. Didn't work, and said it had the problem with the AOL.
