i successfully connect my facebook with iChat on mac, thanks.
it works for me.
facebook chat integration with ichat is a nice feature and thanks for sharing this
Thanks for this, this is a really good way of using iChat.
Like a lot of people (see apple discussions) it is refusing to accept my password when it trys to login in to FB
Any ideas?
Try to use your Email address as a user name in iChat that you have registered with Facebook account.
I can't register it with FB as it won't accept the password (which I KNOW) is correct
Msg was:
Jabber Login
iChat was unable to login in to chat.facebook.com because your screen name or passord was incorrect
hummm same...any ideas please :) x
