AIM -- Email Address for Screen Name -- Missing

At our office we've all set up our AIM screen names using the "Use an existing e-mail address as a Screen Name" option. A new employee started this week and this option is now missing. Is there a way to still do this? Our email addresses are over 16 characters.
Thanks in advance for your help.

I found a back door to this option. Here's the post that gave me the idea:
http://journals.aol.com/journalseditor/magicsmoke/entries/2007/08/07/leave-comme nts-and-join-private-journals-using-your-e-mail-address-as-a-screen-name/2540
So if you go to www.journals.aol.com/
Click on any blog listed in the center of the screen.
Click on add a comment at the bottom of any post.
You'll hit a registration screen. Click the link to Get a Screen Name.
On the next screen, choose the 2nd option that says "Use an existing e-mail address as a Screen Name" and click Continue
Then follow the directions.
It worked perfectly. Although why AIM took it off their main registration page, I have no idea.

  • IMovie and iPhoto App Store update has alternate email address for user name. how do I fix this??

    The most recent updates to iPhoto and iMovie, that are in the App Store updates, has my alternate email address for my user name.  I can't log into the update because I don't know the password.  I have changed my user name to reflect the correct email address, but it still prompts as the alternate email address.  Any ideas as how to fix??

  • Email address as screen name

    I know it's not Adobe's or Jive's fault if someone uses his/her email address as a screen name to these forums, but in my ignorance I would think it should be very easy to prevent this from happening. As this suicidal practice seems to be becoming common amongst recent newcomers, couldn't something be done to prevent it?

    OK, so if your current Apple ID using your AOL Username (like johndoe), then you need to log onto Manage your Apple ID and EDIT that AOL Username to a valid email address: Apple - My Apple ID
    If you have an AOL email address (like [email protected]), and you are not using that as another Apple ID, you can change the AOL Username Apple ID to that. Otherwise, you can change it to any valid email address (which you will have to verify when you change to it).
    Hope that clears it up. Post back if it doesn't!

  • HT201493 How do I change an email address to a name for friends I am following?

    Does anyone know how I can update email addresses to actual names? I have deleted and reinstalled the app with no luck.

    If you remeber the password to that Apple ID then follow these steps
    1 - Make sure you have an email address that is NOT an Apple ID
    2 - Go to AppleID.Apple.com
    3 - Where it reads Manage Apple ID - Sign in
    Once you are signed in want to make sure the email address you are wanting to use is NOT set up as a "Recovery/Rescue" email for this account.
    [To check this - Main page where you see Primary ID - below do you see the email address you want to use listed towards the bottom? Yes - Delete / No - Good ./. If made any adjustments "Save" Next on the left select "Password & Security" - Answer your security questions you set up "if you have any" then scroll towards the bottom and check to see if you see the email address you want to use. Yes - Delete / No - Good] <-> Also you can change your password on this page as well. Any adjustments made "Save"
    Once this is done go back to the main page where you should read "Primary ID" and change the email address that is showing to the new email address youo want. "Save" Done
    I learned this not to long ago and worked for me. Hope this helps you!

  • I am trying to change the email address associated with my existing account to free up my university email address for use in obtaining Creative Cloud.

    I am trying to change the email address associated with my existing account to free up my university email address for use in obtaining Creative Cloud.  Every time I go to the account settings of my existing account (which currently uses my university email, as I set it up years ago and had no idea it'd eventually cause problems), I enter a different email to use for that account but I continuously receive an error message saying "account changes cannot be saved."  It makes me think that it's because the email isn't verified (funny, it actually is verified since it has been the alternate email on the old account for years), but when I click the "send verification email" nothing happens (that is, no email is sent to that other email address).
    Anyway, my university is now requiring that faculty create new accounts using our university email addresses in order to register/use Creative Cloud.  Am I able to delete my old account, or can anyone help me actually change the email address associated with my old account without getting a "changes can't be saved" error?

  • I accidentally created an iCloud account using the wrong email address for my username - I already have an iCloud account with a different email address username. Is there any way I can merge these accounts?

    I just upgraded my MacBook from OS X 10.6.8 to Mountain Lion so that I could stream from my other devices (iPhone and iPad) to my MacBook.  After making it through the upgrade process, I realized that I used the wrong email address for my iCloud username when starting up on the MacBook.  My iPhone, iPad, and iTunes are under my Hotmail email address and I accidently used my Gmail email address for the MacBook.  Is there any way I can merge these two icloud accounts together? I tried changing my account information to add the other email address, but wasn't allowed because another account was using the name (duh).  If I can't merge them, how could I change the MacBook from the Gmail address to the Hotmail address so that all my devices are on the same icloud account?  It'd be nice if I could keep the free 5GB of storage that comes with my purchase of the software, but I'd rather lose the storage than not be able to stream.

    To change accounts on your Mac, go to System Preferences, sign out of the current account, then sign into the new account.  When you sign out of the current account it will delete synced data from your Mac.  Assuming your data (such as contacts, calendars, etc.) is in the other iCloud account, it will be synced to your Mac when you sign into this account.

  • Can i send to multiple email addresses for the same contact

    I coach a baseball team and I want to create contacts under the kids' names with email addresses for both parents listed.  Can I send email to multiple email addresses listed inside the same contact?  I hope this makes sense.
    Thanks!

    You can do it individually, but it can also be done with Groups in Contacts, but you will need to create two or more groups. Once you have created the Groups in Contacts, drag the contacts that have multiple email addresses into each group. Then, select Edit Distribution List… from the Edit menu in Contacts.
    For each group, select one address or the other for each contact. Do the same for the other group.
    When you address an email, add both Groups to the address field in Mail.

  • I have attempted to upgrade os4 to os7. icloud has taken an old expiered email address for which i do not know the password. It will not recognise my current email and password with itunes.  Any help appreciated

    I have attempted to upgrade os4 to os7. At the end, it threw an error that i had to turn off "Find my iphone" on my phone, which seems to be impossible at that stage as i could not access beyond the upgrade screen.
    I thin chose to set up as new iphone, but icloud has taken an old expired email address for which i do not know the password. icloud will not recognise my current itunes email and password, so i now have os7 but am unable to restore from my itunes back up. 
    Desperately need help please... Any help appreciated
    Thankyou

    If you don't know your password, don't know your security questions and don't have a rescue address or don't receive a reset email, you should contact AppleCare who will initially try to assist you with a reset email or if unsuccessful will pass you to the security team to reset your security questions for you.
    If you are in a region that doesn't have international telephone support try contacting Apple through iTunes Store Support.

  • How do I add an email address for mail?

    I want to have different email addresses for different members of my family.  Can I and how do i do it?

    There are various e-mail services providers like Yahoo, Gmail, Aol, Outlook etc. You can go to their website and create an e-mail account for each of your family member (I recommend Gmail by Google). Once you have created all the accounts, you can add them to the mail app on the mac very easily. So, go and create e-mail accounts for your family members and then in the Mail app click Mail -> Add Account, select your e-mail service provider and follow the instructions on the screen.

  • Looking for an email address for support

    I'm not sure where to post this, but since I ordered a wi-fi 3G iPad, I'll try here.
    I am trying like crazy to find an email address to contact about my order. I placed an order for the iPad 2 wi-fi / 3G 32G w/o engraving. I wanted to upgrade it to the 64G with engraving. I just wanted to send an email asking how I should go about changing my order. I can't, for the life of me, find an email address for order support. Or any other support for that matter. All their support seems to be through phone numbers and FAQ. Maybe I'm missing something.
    Thanks

    I believe the only email support Apple offers is for Photo Services and iTunes Customer Service.

  • I'm unable to add the email address for iMessage, that I was using before iOS 7 to my iPhone, because it says that it is "in use by another device," but I have no other devices.  How do I resolve this so I can add this email address to my iPhone?

    Sync your iPhone to iTunes, and see if that does the trick.  Also you could try a Soft Reset with no Risk to Data.  Holding down both the Sleep button and the Home button until the Apple logo appears and then waiting for the Reset to bring you iPhone back to the lock screen.    Are you trying to add the email at Settings>Messages>Send and Receive from (2 Addresses) your iPhone number and your email address?

  • Trying to Locate Email Address For HP LaserJet Pro P1606DN

    I am trying to locate my HP LaserJet Pro P1606dn email address for e-printing. The HP site says to use the two-line screen, but my printer has no screen. Please help.

    Hi kacb,
    You can locate your ePrint email address in the ePrint Center, or if you haven't created an account yet, you can also locate the email address within the EWS of the printer. To access the EWS, put the printers IP address into a web browser on your PC.
    I was an HP employee.

  • Email address replacing first name in To: field

    Hi All,
    We have noticed two different users have sent emails today to two different recipients where the first name is replaced by the email address, for example:
    An email is written to John Doe whose address is [email protected]
    The email is then sent with the TO: field displaying:
    To: [email protected] Doe <[email protected]>
    when it is supposed to display
    To: John Doe <[email protected]>
    Both users affected run different versions of OSX, one running Snow Leopard and the other running Mountain Lion. We have checked the Address Book and Previous Recipients lists for both users and neither show any contacts with odd display names.
    We understand that two incidents isn't a big deal however we have noticed different mail clients will save contacts based on how they are displayed in the To: field and would like to prevent this from happening again. Thanks

    This is less about MX records than it is your mail server configuration.
    Quite simply, your mail server doesn't know that it's supposed to accept mail for johnbutzek.com, so when it sees such a message it assumes it's supposed to relay it to another server, or bounce it if the sender isn't authenticated/trusted.
    Changing the MX may be valid, but it's not going to fix the problem. If the MX record points to this server all you'll get are 'MX points back to me' errors in the postfix log.
    Instead, you need to tell postfix what domain(s) it is supposed to accept mail for. RIght now it sounds like you have it set for 'server.johnbutzek.com' and that's your problem. Change it to 'johnbutzek.com' and your problem should go away.

  • How to configure dynamic email address for notification

    All,
    I have a problem in assigning dynamic email address for notification activity in a bpel process, I want to assign a user from a user-properties file. How do I achieve this. I tried using the users in System-jazn-data.xml file, but if i add a email attribute to the existing users it doesn't show up. I am sure there should be an easier way of using identity service and adding attributes to the jazn realm user, I might be missing something.
    I cannot have it as part of the payload the only way is to use identity service.
    Thanks,
    Chitra

    Hi James,
    Thanks for the reply. Its solved now. For anybody if interested you can set the dynamic email address either i) having it as part of payload - In this case use the xpath to query the payload varaible ii) use identity service - follow the following steps
    1.Create a user in Application enterprise manager/also you can use a existing account, if u are creating a new one assign the correct role
    2. In either case edit the user-properties.xml(bpel/system/services/config) file for the corresponding user and add an attribute called email
    3. Bounce the server for this changes to take effect
    4. In the notification properties in the to address use ids:getUserProperty and pass the attribute name
