Apollo

I have the absolutely same issue.

 

same here, I have looked for a solution, and no luck. Anyone have any details on the situation with this?

.

I just kept trying and it eventually worked, but I still don't know what caused it.

 

yeah been noticing the same thing here randomly with msn on adium on my mac as well. Both adium and apollo use (libpidgin) so they are very similar.

I have a suspicion that msn service itself is having issues..I know of a few friends mentioning some instability and general weirdness using windows live messenger on xp/vista machines..whatever tinkering microsoft has been doing to the protocol lately has been making it buggier then it used to be

 

Try this fix. It worked for me.

You have to replace the host file in the /Applications/Apollo folder in the itouch with the one in the link.

Here is the link to were I found the fix.

GOT IT! MSN Messenger on the Ipod Touch

i finally figured it out everybody! First what you need to do is download "Apollo" on the ipod. Once installed, make sure you also have downloaded "BSD Subsystem" and "OpenSSH" in the ipod system applications (found in the installer). Then, be sure to download the "service" utility application (also found in the installer). The service utility application allows you to make sure that your ability to use SSH is turned on.

Then you download (on your computer) a program called cuteftp pro. (it must be the pro edition). I used Azureus, but i'm sure you could just use a trial version.

While that's downloading, download the file http://code.google.com/p/apolloim/issues/attachment?aid=8338162767112582462&name=hosts to your desktop. It should be named "hosts". Now, on your cuteftp pro program, click file>connect>connection wizard. It will ask you for the Host Address. This is your ipod's IP address. You'll find this on your ipod under settings. You click on settings, wifi, and then the blue arrow to the right of your wifi connection. Put that number into the line on your cuteftp pro program on the computer. Click next. Under user name type "root" for password, type "alpine". Click next. It will connect your ipod to your computer via wifi. If anything else comes up click yes, or next. When it's finally loaded it will show you as being in the directory "/private/var/root" Zoom out of your directory (clicking 3 times) on the folder with the little green arrow. Double Click on Applications. Double Click On Apollo. On the left hand side, locate the file "hosts" that you saved earlier. Once you find it, just click and hold the "hosts" file and drag it to the right hand directory which shows all your Apollo system files. It will ask you if you'd like to replace, select yes - and after it clears 100%, msn messenger should work fine for the ipod touch!
