Partial push chat sync between Mac and iphone
Authored by: jfischetti on Jun 24, '09 07:58:45AM

I can have my AIM and my iChat stay connected at the same time. Make sure you have "Allow multiple logins for this account" checked for the account you want to stay connected.

The annoying part is that if you are sitting in front of your mac, you will get alerts on the phone and ichat --- it would be great if you only got phone alerts when the other clients are Idle or Away - like the way SMS alerts worked....

That is checked. Is there anyway then to not get those automated messages from AOL saying you're logged in from two locations, reply with 1 to logout the other machine, etc.. ?

Looking through AIM's faq's, http://www.aim.com/help_faq/common_problems.adp?s=All it looks like those messages cannot be turned off. So you can be logged into two locations with AIM as long as you don't mind receiving those messages from AOL at all locations.

In principal, the rest of the hint could then apply to AIM as well. You can use Adium and have it get logged out after 10 minutes of inactivity, and then messages will only be received on the phone at that point. But then, when you start using your mac again, and it logs you back in, you'll get those automated messages again everywhere.

Actually AIM will only send messages to any connected client that isn't away or idle, unless all locations are away/idle, in whichcase it sends to all. Because of this you don't have to have adium set to sign off after 10 minutes, just go idle. When that happens messages will go to your phone only if the phone is 'available' or both clients if your phone is away. When I'm using AIM on the computer I'll set the phone to away and messages will then go to the computer only.
