GRAR HELP

HOW DO I INSTALL AIM ONTO A MAC? I keep clicking the installation button, but it keeps opening a crappy Excel file. I checked the AIM site, but it only gives support for Microsoft.

Do not tell me to get Trillian. I tried it once and didn't like it.

Never mind, I installed something else. Thanks to those that helped though.

You're going to need Adium. It's like Trillian but it's for Mac's. They don't have AIM software for Mac's last I heard of.

http://www.adiumx.com/ You can get it here for all programs.

*may need Adium. Sorry. I'm typing too fast.

Yeah, tried it again, and it's giving me a .bin file. When I click it, it's going to an excel file and being LAME.

When it opens as an excel file, that's because it's incompatible with a mac X_X;;;

Download from THAT site, and follow the instructions :o When you open the file (after download completes, double click), just drop the little AIM icon into the "applications" folder, and it'll be automatically installed.

*emo* I even clicked the link that said "mac download" or whatever.

WHY MUST IT BE LAME? orz

[cross_chord]

Oops. That was me. Forgot I was logged into an RP journal.

YOU PEOPLE AND YOUR GEASS CHARACTERS---*bricked*

orz although just as a warning, AIM for mac is kind of...sucky XDDD; (likes to crash, I remember X_X;). So if it doesn't work, try adium *A*; Prettttyyyyyy

Did you grab it from here? They do have an FTP installer if you can't get the regular one to work. Maybe try that?

Trillian does take a bit of getting used to, although is ultimately worth it. LOL.

[cross_chord]

No, I don't want trillian or whatever it is for mac. I tried Trillian and it was a pain in the ass. I prefer having my seperate messengers.

And I went to the AIM links my friends gave me, but it did the same thing. I even tried the ftp file earlier, but it didn't work either.

How crappy and bizarre :-/

I don't know why it isn't working!
