My Apple ID won't let me sign into my Ichat

How do i get an ID that works for my Ichat?

Hi,
Only @Mac.com and MoboileMe Apple IDs work in iChat as AIM Valid Names.
MobileMe cannot be registered fro at the moment (They said that the @Me.com emails would be used again with iCloud)
@mac.com names can be registered here
This HAS to be linked to another email address
As it is another Apple ID that email cannot be one that is used with an existing Apple ID
Keep the password to 16 characters or less. (AIM server limit)
AIM names can be registered here
You can create a name and link it for Password recovery or use the email itself.
You can of course use Jabber or Google names as well in iChat 3, 4, 5 and 6
and Yahoo in iChat 6
In these cases there are limits on who you can Video or Audio chat to.  (iChat users only)

  • My iPad won't let me sign into my Apple ID when I try and download an app it asks for my id and password and when i type it in the iPad displays a message saying cannot connect to iTunes Store. However when i do this on my phone it works perfectly.

    My iPad won't let me sign into my Apple ID when I try and download an app it asks for my id and password and when i type it in the iPad displays a message saying cannot connect to iTunes Store. However when i do this on my phone it works perfectly. Even when i sign in and out.
    Has anyone else had this problem? If so how can I fix this?

    Remember, any purchased item from the itunes store is forever associated with the Apple ID used to buy it.  So when you get prompted for an ID/password and it doesn't accept it, then you are using the wrong ID.
    Go to Settings>iTunes and App Stores, be sure it's logged into the ID you have set on the iphone (since that one seems to be connecting with the right ID).  If you've done this, then you might wait a bit to see if the "cannot connect to .. store" message has to do with internet connections.

  • My iphone4 Safari won't let me sign into any websites (email, school, commercial).  What can I do to fix this?

    My iphone4 Safari won't let me sign into any websites (email, school, commercial).  What can I do to fix this?

    Sorry just re-read your original post and realized that my answer doesn't address you problem:
    "If the problem is that Safari won't display a login screen when started, try going to a different website than is displayed when you start Safari.  When I have this problem, I select another website from my bookmarks and am redirected to the login screen. It's strange, but it works."
    So..., what is happening that it won't let you login?  Keyboard not popping up?  Website won't accept input?

  • Adobe Premiere Elements 9 Won't let me sign into Youtube.

    I got Adobe Premiere Elements 9 about a year ago from my brother's college and suddenly it won't let me sign into Youtube on 1 account. When I go to share>online>Youtube it takes me to a sign in and all of my logins work except 1. The password hasn't been changed and no one has been on my account but it says incorrect username and password so it won't let me sign in. I'm pretty sure this has only been happening since APE 10 came out.

    I just got this email from Google. The troubleshooting steps only apply to a mail client. I'm pretty sure the unauthorised attempt, which contained the correct user naem and password, was Premiere Elements.  I think Google has made me a victim of its ubiquity. As though managing passwrods were not already difficult enough.
    Someone recently tried to use an application to sign in to your Google Account, [email protected] We prevented the sign-in attempt in case this was a hijacker trying to access your account. Please review the details of the sign-in attempt:

    If you do not recognise this sign-in attempt, someone else might be trying to access your account. You should sign in to your account and reset your password immediately. Find out how at http://support.google.com/accounts?p=reset_pw

  • Apple TV won't let me log into Apple ID

    I'm trying to set up my Apple TV in my dorm and when I click the Computers section and log in with my Apple ID and password, it won't recognize it for some reason. I definitely have the right password, and even changed it just to make sure. The internet shouldn't be a problem because it's connected via an ethernet cord. I've reset the settings and tried redoing it but nothing changes. It also won't let me update it for some reason, and won't let me restore it because it needs to update to do that. I have the 3rd generation Apple TV model and I have home sharing turned on for my computer and the latest version of iTunes.

        I want to get those accounts working for you Rempel2012! Those are certainly two very different accounts to be having trouble with. Is your Hulu account tied into your Windows Live Mail account with the same log in? Are you trying to log into these accounts through your web browser or through an application on your phone? Many of these log in errors may just be a result of the case sensitivity for the log in. Are you able to see the username and password as you enter it into your phone?
    I look forward to helping you solve this account log in mystery.

  • Help! Lion has basically paralyzed my system. It takes 10 to 15 minutes to open a folder, to open Applications, Safari freezes and won't let me sign into the forums (I'm on a different computer). I tried to re-install Snow Leopard, but no go!

    Basics - 2008 iMac, 2.8 Ghz, 4 Gig RAM, 500 Gig HDD with over 100 Gig free. DId Disk Utility verification and files-disk are fine. Programs will run, but any filing just stops everything (spinning beach ball). I've managed to back up some major content to an external HD, and hopefully, despite the inordinate amount of time it takes, I'll be able to off-load more. But how do I get Lion to work or, alternatively, other than completely erasing the HD, how do I re-install Snow Leopard?

    Your upgrade must have failed.  Unless you very very recently upgraded Lion, as in the last hour or two.  Then you need to go to System Preferences and Energy Saver and stop it from automatically sleeping.  Let it sit overnight.  It could be spotlight re-indexing your disk and slowing you way way down. 
    If that doesn't work then you can re-install Lion cleanly.  You need to finish backing up your data.  Then make a Lion USB flash boot disk or DVD.  Hold option key when you boot and select the USB or DVD drive.  Run Disk Utility and delete then recreate the partition, exit Disk Utility and install Lion.  Then restore your applications and data.

    It should be Noted that anything Downloaded with a Particular Apple ID is tied to that Apple ID and Cannot be Merged or Transferred to a Different Apple ID.
