Adium 1.3.8
Adium 1.3.8 is now available. This release contains the connection fixes for Facebook chat, as well as a small fix for Snow Leopard users to fix the events list. There’s more Snow Leopard fixes on the upcoming 1.4 beta release which we felt were too broad of changes to include in the 1.3.8 release, sorry. An updated beta for 1.4 with the Facebook fix will be coming shortly through the usual channels. Enjoy!
NB: If you’re getting the CAPTCHA popup, disconnect and wait 10 minutes before you try to connect again. CAPTCHA itself isn’t working, but the message just means to calm down trying to connect.

Thank you!
November 4th, 2009 at 11:39 PM
The update didn’t fix the issue for me. Is there anything special I need to do (besides the update)? I even reverted from betas to stable releases to get this functionality back, but I’m still getting chronic-captcha-syndrome. What’s going on?
November 4th, 2009 at 11:46 PM
Same here. The captacha thing keeps popping up. Says that logging into Facebook might fix it, but it has not.
November 4th, 2009 at 11:48 PM
Wait, strike that. I just Quit Adium and then restarted it and it seems to be working fine now. Thanks for the update, Adium.
November 4th, 2009 at 11:57 PM
Thanks so much !
November 5th, 2009 at 12:00 AM
Just downloaded it and no captcha, thank you!
November 5th, 2009 at 12:00 AM
@Aaron: Me too. Thanks.
November 5th, 2009 at 12:29 AM
Still having the problem after downloading the new version and waiting for 10 min!! help please!
November 5th, 2009 at 1:52 AM
Mine FB contacts keep coming online and then instantly going back offline now…though no Captcha boxes appearing.
November 5th, 2009 at 1:53 AM
Check that, Captcha box just appeared…so, similar behavior on Snow Leopard as before.
November 5th, 2009 at 2:15 AM
It cleared up after a few restarts of Adium and Firefox. Thanks!
November 5th, 2009 at 2:33 AM
excellent smithers
November 5th, 2009 at 2:34 AM
Worked for me!
November 5th, 2009 at 4:07 AM
Works here! Thank you guys!
November 5th, 2009 at 6:41 AM
hey there, a BIG thank you for fixing the facebook issue so quick. thats really great!
November 5th, 2009 at 7:03 AM
Update today and still wirking without problems. Must login on FB site first. Thanks you very much!
November 5th, 2009 at 7:05 AM
Can’t open the Image!
it says: codec overrun ,
am i the only one getting this?
November 5th, 2009 at 7:54 AM
Looks like there are some rumblings within Facebook with regards to XMPP support. According to http://www.process-one.net/en/blogs/article/facebook_chat_supports_xmpp_with_ejabberd/ an XMPP server has just appeared within the facebook domain. So hopefully everyone will soon be able to connect to Facebook chat with a standard XMPP client.
November 5th, 2009 at 9:07 AM
it worked for me for a short moment.
not adium logs on to facebook, contacts apear, then it immediately logs off again. this circle goes on until facebook strikes because of multible wrong logins and quits. ;(
greetings.
November 5th, 2009 at 9:18 AM

November 5th, 2009 at 12:55 PM

November 5th, 2009 at 2:26 PM

November 5th, 2009 at 4:36 PM

November 5th, 2009 at 5:40 PM
Thank you. it worked!
November 5th, 2009 at 7:12 PM

November 5th, 2009 at 7:44 PM
you guys are great! Thanks for the speedy fix
November 5th, 2009 at 7:54 PM
I was having the same issue with the endless connect/disconnect cycle for Facebook chat in Adium, even after upgrade to 1.3.8.
Here’s what fixed it for me:
• Enable Facebook account in Adium
• Quit Adium
• Log out of Facebook through browser
• Launch Adium
It seems to be working fine now, even since I’ve logged back in to Facebook in Safari.
November 5th, 2009 at 8:56 PM
Hello,
I also download the new version but the captcha doesn’t work.
Best Regards,
November 5th, 2009 at 9:10 PM
adium will be much better if like msn, there are moving image(GIF) when we type words.. u no I’m sayin
November 5th, 2009 at 11:45 PM
Tried what Tim said, still doesn’t work. Keep getting the stupid captcha over and over and over…..
November 5th, 2009 at 11:59 PM
thanks. facebook is working for me now
November 6th, 2009 at 12:28 AM
It still isn’t working for me. After downloading the new version, my facebook contacts came up for a couple of seconds, but then disappeared again. Now, Captcha keeps on popping up.
November 6th, 2009 at 2:09 AM
Good work peeps. It’s running once again. I just ran an update, and the annoying captcha thing was history.
November 6th, 2009 at 3:33 AM
Update– I just started Adium again and everything is back to normal. Thank you !
November 6th, 2009 at 4:35 AM
10.5.7 Not working I hate that I have to use facebook, one of the most poorly designed sites ever, stupid social network, why can’t we all page each other like we used too.
November 6th, 2009 at 8:44 AM
thanks for the update, worked for me (:
November 6th, 2009 at 9:04 AM
10.5.8 – not a facebook-user.
Adium won’t work at all.
No Login with the new Adium – the old one “works” …. it says that i would be online – in fact, I’m not.
My contaclist won’t show up – nothing happens.
Completely reinstalled and tried again – with no effort.
Restart of the Laptopt – but nothing at all….
hope you’ll fix that, cause I think, that this is not the way it should be

thanks this update for Facebook is greatly appreciated!
November 6th, 2009 at 4:31 PM
I can get offline messages with this version…
Everything was ok with version 1.3.7
November 6th, 2009 at 6:42 PM
Facebook is working again!… but its separating out the facebook contacts into separate groups again like previous versions. How do I combined facebook into one “Facebook” group? So annoying. Please help.
November 6th, 2009 at 9:11 PM
Stil not working for me. Everytime i use adium facebook (on safari) say that i tried many times to login with a false password..etc
November 7th, 2009 at 1:21 AM
would be interesting to have a version of adium for the iphone and ipod touch
November 7th, 2009 at 9:53 AM
Okay, now Facebook is working. Thanks.
November 7th, 2009 at 11:33 AM
I am using the latest version and FB used to work fine. Then all of a sudden FB dropped and tried to reconnect, then dropped, then reconnected, etc, etc. It keeps doing this and I cannot log into FB via chat. The web client works just fine, but the chat for Adium is broken for me. I tried waiting and re-enabling the account but that didn’t work, and I tried adding the account fresh, that didn’t work either. Any ideas? Am I the only one experiencing this? I’m not getting the captcha pop-up like before, but it’s still not connecting.
November 8th, 2009 at 10:06 AM
Jacob,
I am having the exact same problem you are having.

November 9th, 2009 at 4:16 PM
@ Makhach
I have the same problem. I can’t receive messages, sent to me, when I was offline.
Any idea how to fix this?
November 11th, 2009 at 1:15 AM
Are they working on a fix for the log in/immediate log out bug? I assume it has something to do with the FB API, but I’m not getting any info regarding it. it seems like it works for some people, but I know it’s not working for me even after trying a number of things to get it to connect adium to FB chat.
November 11th, 2009 at 5:39 AM
Adium 1.3.8 won’t logon at all. It stays offline. I’m going to download the 1.4 beta.
November 11th, 2009 at 5:42 AM
Same thing with 1.4 beta. I guess it must be my fault.
November 11th, 2009 at 5:52 AM
Humm I let adium update itself, now I can’t run it because it says its for the wrong architecture. Manually download the new version and install and it’s fine now.
November 11th, 2009 at 10:46 AM
1.3.8 wont let me recieve offline messages as well.
November 11th, 2009 at 4:16 PM
I had to use my username versus my email address to get around the disconnect/reconnect problem
November 11th, 2009 at 5:55 PM

November 11th, 2009 at 5:55 PM
i couldn’t get any joy with this new release but i uninstalled EVERYTHING (app cleaner, it’s a great tool), and then installed a new version from scratch. so far it seems to be working.
November 12th, 2009 at 10:15 AM
Thanks! The new update works flawlessly with fb for me.
November 12th, 2009 at 12:49 PM
I downloaded 1.3.8 last week and have been loving it. Unfortunately for the last two days it has been quitting unexpectedly whenever I try to click on a contact and send an IM. I’m running OSX 10.5.8
November 12th, 2009 at 4:51 PM
MSN randomly disconnects
MSN log’s me out while remaining “online” but i coiuld be offline for hours without noticing since msn contacts keep showing.
Many a time when MSN contacts talk to me they eventually send me an email or when a message comes through they complain most of their text was undeliverable. WHen i use the official client it works fine.
November 13th, 2009 at 1:46 AM
Facebook issue is still present in a fully updated 10.4 system running Adium 1.3.8. One of two issues, either chronic captcha or FB chat doesn’t connect at all. This has been happening even post a clean reformat and re-install of the OS and all apps.
November 13th, 2009 at 8:47 PM
Just updated the 1.4 beta…facebook chat is working like a charm. Thanks.
November 17th, 2009 at 3:32 PM
Since 1.3.8 i can’t receive ICQ offline messages. Does anybody else have this problem too?
Otherwise Adium is the best!!!
November 17th, 2009 at 10:14 PM
hey!!!
i can’t conected and i don’t know if this problem is from my mac or is from adiu
what do i have to do??
help please
November 18th, 2009 at 6:45 PM
Thanks for the update!
I’ve come across a problem, though. Recently when I close and reopen Adium my nickname resets to a nickname I used to use a long time ago. I change it to the right one every time, and when I sign out and back in again it’s back to the old one.
Is there a way I can fix this? It just started this week, and I use Adium every day.
November 19th, 2009 at 6:36 AM
Yeah, what Lindor says …
Every contact I have using adium is having this problem, the nickname resets everytime we logon …
November 19th, 2009 at 6:58 AM
1.3.8 fixed the facebook problem although it sometimes disconnect and immediately reconnect. new problem is ICQ this version is not able to connect to icq at all
November 19th, 2009 at 9:40 AM
Hi all!
I don’t know since when this problem is present but I noticed it recently. Every time I log in, no matter is I just closed my MacBook or relaunched Adium it replaces my user name with the first part of my MSN address (untill the @ character). Every time I have to go to preferences, select my account, Personal and set the Display name as I want it to be…
Thank you!
