  • AIM Screen Name Link

    Is there any way to have a link where it opens up my screen name in iChat? Like the aim:goim?screenname=(put sn here) link? Or would I have to do that with the HTML after I publish it?

    Sure there is and yes it does require editing the HTML after iWeb publishes. The advantage, though, is that you can have a live status icon that displays whether you are online or not and people can click on it to automatically chat with you. Here is a thread where I put down directions to do it...

  • Push Notifications to end users and Conditional Success Screen Name ?

    Hi,
    Scenario: PO Approval
    Description: I am developing a PO approval application with 3 levels of approval. The HWC application is based on the push notification ( DCN with payload ). When a PO ( Purchase Order ) is created/modified the end user will get the notification. Once the first 2 levels of approval is done from the mobile devices the notification should reach the 3rd level for approval. And Conditional Based Users only View there Profiles, If an User1 Approved PO Approval then only User2 Will get Push Notification but  for User3 it will not Visible, Oncethe User2 Approved then Only User3 will get Push Notifications and these 3 Profiles have to be log in Based on Condition Name & Conditional Success Screen Name.
    Question: How to set to which user the notification should reach. In the "to" field of JSON when I am providing "supAdmin" means the notification will reach all the devices who has the application. Once a PO is created the notification should reach only to user in the first level. Once he approves the PO, then only it should reach to the user in the 2nd level. And finally 3rd level.
    Here Conditional Name is the best way to Log In or is there any other way to show the User based Log in Details, Because Here I am showing a List of Items Based On Log In,  and Based On Log In user Has to view there List of Products and Status.
    How to manage this situation.
    Midhun VP can you please help me on this.
    Thanks,

    Yes, DNS is is fundamental for networks, even for Windows networks. The DNS is working well for the existing Windows network and there are no problems in distributing certificates etc.
    There are more than 150 users and 180 devices on the network without DNS problems.
    I don't know how to discover a DNS problem... Windows works well.
    DNS resolves fine... dig does it for "a" records and "ptr" records. nslookup resolves, too.
    When the problem is a faulty DNS, why does the usage of users/devices from OD work with Profile Manager?
    Renaming and/or migrating the ActiveDirectory is not possible. First, I want to be sure that there is a faulty DNS.
    The .local TLD is not optimal for Bonjour/mDNS but I can't believe that there is no workaround

  • Trying to download software on iphone. it pops up my screen name and asks for password.  but the screenname is wrong.  how do i reset that?

    I am trying to synch things from my mac to my iphone.  My Apple screen name is apparently [email protected] but my iphone thinks my screenname is xxxxxx.  I can download things on my imac with [email protected]  but I am unable to update things on my iphone because it comes up with xxxxxxxx (without the aol.com) asking for my password.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Start here (change country if necessary) and navigate to 'Password and Security', reset your security questions using the link provided, you will receive an email to your rescue address, use the link in the email and reset your security questions.
    If that doesn't help, you don't receive a reset email or you don't have a rescue address, 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.

    Please read my question carefully, this is, I think, a question for the experts. It's not the usual name change question.
    When I setup my new MacBook Pro, something slipped by me and my computer was named First-Lasts-MacBook-Pro (using my real first and last name).
    I changed the computer name in Preferences/Sharing to a new name and Preferences/Accounts to just be Mike. I can right click on my account name, choose advanced, and see that everything looks right.
    However, If I do a scan of my network with my iPhone using the free version of IP Scanner, it lists my computer as First-Lasts-MacBook-Pro! And it lists the user as First-Last.
    So even though another Mac just sees my new computer name, and my home folder is Mike, somewhere in the system the original setup with my full name is still stored. And it's available on a network scan. So my full name might show up at a coffee shop.
    Can I fully change the name without doing a complete re-install of Lion and all my apps?

    One thought... you said the iPhone displayed your computer's old name? I think that you must have used the iPhone with this computer before you changed the name. So no one else's iPhone should display your full name unless that iPhone had previously connected to your Mac. For example, I did this exact same change, and I use the Keynote Remote app to connect with my MacBook Pro. It would no longer link with my MacBook Pro under the old name, and I found that I had to unlink and then create a new link under the new name. So the answer to your question is, there is nothing you need to do on the Mac, but rather the phone, and no other phone will display your full name.

  • I have an aol screen name I use to log in to itunes store, but it can not be used on my apple tv as it is not an apple id

    my oldest otunes store UN was my AOL screen name, and then when the newwer stuff came out requring an email address it never prompted me to just add that on to the one I already had, so thus another itunes un now known as my apple id was born.  My question is I recently bought an apple TV and I have movies and shows on the AOL screen name account that I can NOT access on my apple tv as I do not have an apple id for that account it will not let me sign in to it through the apple tv.  I was wondering if there is a way to convert my AOL account into a normal apple id?

    I have the same issue. Back in the day, when Apple and AOL had a relationship, AOL users had the ability to use their AOL account screen names and passwords in order to purchase content from the iTunes store. Unfortunately the disconnect resides in the fact chosing that way of signing in and purchasing content didn't actually create a true Apple ID. This results in the ability to still purchase content via iTunes on Mac or PC or on iPhone and iPad, but the inability to sign in with the same account with any other Apple services such as appleid.apple.com or even the Apple Store App.
    After the relationship between Apple and AOL dissolved there is no way of turning the AOL account associated with many many purchases into an Apple ID. I've tried every way possible and search long and hard for an answer. There was a way a while ago and the process was that you had to cancel any subscription services with AOL. Apple would realize this and notify you in iTunes saying your AOL account has been deactivated, would you like to make it an Apple ID (this may be the article to which you are referring, HACKINTOSH). Unfortunately this method doesn't work any longer.
    However I have found a way for old AOL users to change the account they use to purchase content with into an Apple ID. The answer is iTunes Match. I've tried many other methods and iTunes match seems to be the route to take. When subscribing to iTunes match, iTunes will recognize that the account you're trying to subscribe with is not a true Apple ID and will ask you to change the AOL screen name into an Apple ID.
    This is the only way that I have is even close to solving this issue. However I haven't been able to complete the process due to unrelated reasons. Considering iTunes Match is $24.99/year that may not be worth it to just convert an Apple ID. But if you can find a use for subscribing to iTunes Match (which personally I think is a brilliant service), I believe that this will convert the AOL account into an Apple ID.
    Let's see what iTunes says as well. I haven't contacted them but if any info is received please let us know!
    Hope this helps.

  • Why is my on screen name not changing

    Hi all
    I logged in and changed my login name yesterday [email protected], this worked ok
    I also changed my on screen name, but it has not changed.
    I saved it and when i go into my account preferences it has changed, but it has not changed on the upper right of my screen or it hasn't changed when i post any messages
    Help
    Thanks

    Why oh why are the easiest things in life becoming so difficult.
    It's not just the cost of a call, but the time and energy i have to put into this, when i already had a 15 minute
    chat online with support and they couldn't help. Plus the issue with downloading trials with the download manager
    which wasted 2-3 hours of my day to get the ftp links that could just be put on the web site instead..
    Can someone in Adobe just fix this without i having to call and explain everything again.

  • How does User get Identified by Screen Name and NOT by Real Name in submitting a Forum Post?

    I have noticed that when I post a question or discussion item to one of Adobe's Forum Communities, I am identified as the author of my post by my actual legal name, not by my Screen Name that I set up in my profile when I registered.  The same applies for the posts of others--they are identified by their legal names, not their screen names.  What is the purpose of the Screen Name we set up when we registered, if not to shield the identity of the individual from others reading the post, if that person does not want to have their true identity publicly disclosed in, or publicly associated with the post?  If I sign my post using my Screen Name, but then it is identified with my legal name when I post it, what good does it do to have a Screen Name?  Is there some way to have the software not use my legal name, but identify my posts by my Screen Name only, if I so choose that option?  (Of course, Administrators at Adobe can always (presumably) identify the (real name) author of the post, via the registration information associated with a Screen Name, should the need arise.)
    Sincerely,
    SpaceAdventurer

    Thanks for the reply, mytaxsite.co.uk.  And thanks for the screenshot showing me that my name is displayed to you as "spaceadventurer," which is what I had intended / wanted.
    I understand now, from reading through most of the original and replies to the post,Real name instead of Screen name displayed, where I noticed you replied several times, that the Screen Name / real legal name works this way on Adobe’s forums:
    When you are logged in - YOU (and only you) see your real legal name everywhere on the forums / web site, and associated with all of your posts
    When you are not logged in (to Adobe / forums with your Adobe username / password), you always see your name associated with your posts as your Screen Name only
    Everyone else always sees your screen name, everywhere, on all posts, regardless of whether they (everyone else) are logged in or logged out.  (Unless, of course, you set up your profile to have your Screen Name be your real legal name.  Then everyone will always see your real legal name associated with your posts.)
    When logged in, in the “Edit Communities Profile” web page (from the menu that appears when you click your Avatar in the black Adobe menu bar at the top of the screen), in the “Privacy” tab on that page, there is a “widget” called ‘Preview your profile’ in the upper right-hand corner of that tab.  This widget is supposed to show you how you or others, depending on which selection you make from the dropdown in the widget, will see your Profile (and therefore, your name) from their computers.  In fact, no matter which selection you make from the dropdown, the display of your profile that is produced ALWAYS shows your real legal name, which is misleading, because that is not in fact, what others will see. Others, whether “Registered Users,” “Friends,” or “Everyone,” will ALWAYS see your Screen Name only.  (Except for the exception I mentioned in the immediate previous bullet.)
    There is a way to change your Screen Name, should you feel the need to do so.  The steps to do that are detailed in response no. 75 to the "Real name instead of Screen name displayed" forum post.
    Does it sound to you like I have captured the gist of the main learnings that can be gleaned from that post ("Real name instead of Screen name displayed”)?
    Thanks,
    SpaceAdventurer

  • Is there any way on earth to change screen names???

    Someone set up my account for em to show me something on it and how it works and now I'm stuck with this name that sounds to sassy for computer problems! Any advice would be appreciated... thank you!!

    Sorry about this, but the system for changing your Screen Name is currently not available via the corporate website.
    Since the UI team implemented the new skin for the 2014 release of CC, they switched over to using https://accounts.adobe.com for managing your "profile" - but this is only designed for stuff relating to a CC subscription.
    The problem was reported internally in June, still waiting for them to respond. Until they fix it you can follow this link to an unlisted page, where the old Account Manager is still functional:
    https://www.adobe.com/account/account-information.html
    You need to be logged in to the corporate website before clicking that link. It will work for any localization, including EDU customers.

    I have webcam not working and screen names not remembered on certain sites but OK on Internet Explorer.
    What can it be on Firefox?
    It's like cookies are turned off or something blocking.
    Even banking online is affected.

    Okay- this is getting more fun-- I just system restored to a
    month ago because my computer froze up 5 times withing 15 minutes
    earlier today. Then I uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox because I
    noticed it was listed twice in my add and remove programs area. Now
    I go to youtube to see if by some miracle the beta page is
    working-- well not only did it not work, but now, even if I disable
    Norton, it STILL doesn't work, where as before that did make the
    videos show up. I'd really appreciate some help...

  • Why is my screen name not displayed?

    Hello,
    When I signed up for the community forums I selected a screen name but my full name, not screen name, shows up when I post a question. I don't see full names displayed for any other users, why does my full name show up? How can this be fixed?

    Your full name shows only to you; we see your screen name of packetstar.
    Use the drop-down next to your user name at the top of the page and select Edit Profile, then Your Profile and Privacy tabs if you want to tweak your settings.

  • 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.

  • Problems converting my AOL Screen Name to AppleID?

    I'm hoping you have some advice for me. When I follow the instructions and try to convert my 'AOL screen-name' account to a new 'AppleID' account using a new, different email address, it won't let me do it. When I open the page to convert, it has already entered my AOL screename followed by @aol.com in the email box as the default  'example'. But when I overtype it to a new, unused email address (it does permit me to overtype it), and enter new passwords, it reverts the email address back to the AOL email address (which I have already reused previously as an AppleID, as others have done), and tells me I can't use that one because it already exists as an AppleID. But, it will never permit me to enter a new one! Help!

    Wow, that is not what we have been led to believe here. The change for the AOL User Name is just that (and just as you thought). Your Apple ID needs to be a valid email address. An aol.com email address is a valid email address. If you can verify it, it is a valid email address. Apple's own support article on this topic has the following paragraph regarding the only situation where an aol.com email address cannot be used:
    When you convert your AOL Username to an Apple ID, you might not be able to convert it to one that ends in @aol.com if you have used your AOL email address to create a separate Apple ID. For example, if your username is johnnyappleseed, you might not be able to convert it to [email protected] if you already have an account tied to that email address.
    What this is saying is that if you already have an Apple ID that is using that aol.com email address as the Apple ID, AND you also have an AOL User Name Apple ID, you cannot use the aol.com address when changing that AOL username to a valid email address.
    However, if you simply changed the AOL User Name to your aol.com email address using the EDIT function (meaning you did not set up a brand new, separate Apple account, but changed the Apple ID on the account that was using the AOL User Name), then you do not need to do anything. You no longer have an Apple ID using an AOL User Name at that point.
    You do NOT need to change your Apple ID if it is using your aol.com email address, and if you have no other Apple account that is using that old AOL User Name.
    So, if you have not already done it, you do not have to change your Apple ID if it is an aol.com email address.
    Here is a link to the support article:
    Convert your AOL Username to an Apple ID - Apple Support

  • IChat screen name for .Mac member

    My family are all .Mac members and have accounts. We are a little hesitant to do AIM services through AOL (hate to provide information) and would prefer to use iChat with our .Mac accounts. I can't figure out if it is possible to use an alias, just for iChat purposes, to avoid using an email address or any of my regular .Mac names. Can one use a screen name in iChat, through .Mac. If so, how does one create it.
    Both my daughter and I have tried using different nicknames, but our .mac email addresses still show up in the iChat windows. Is this only to .Mac members, or to everyone?
