AIM links: Adium X launching instead of iChat. How do I change?

When I click on AIM links within a web page, my Adium X client launches as the default application rather than iChat. I would like iChat to be my default AIM client. I have looked in both applications preferences but I don't see any such option to set as a default. Any ideas on how to make iChat the default application once again?
Thanks,

Hi Scott,
You could use Internet Explorer to change this option, but I prefer RCDefaultApp because it's has numerous features.
Change the aim: protocol to point to the application iChat instead of Adium once you've installed the freeware.
Hope this helps!

Extension .HTM instead of .HTML, How can I change that in MUSE?

I'm rebuilding an excisting website that all the pages use the extension .HTM, instead of .HTML, How can I change that in MUSE?

Unfortunately it would not be possible to change the extesion of the pages from .html to .htm.
We do not have that option available in Muse. Muse only generates .html extension.

Problem linked wrong Facebook account to student discount, how do I change it

I have two facebook accounts - one for business and one personnel, and by accident I have linked the wrong one to my student NUS extra account - how can I change it?
Sounds simple enough and on the sale of goods act UK I should be able to do it, but I forgot the problem with spotify is that there is is no-one to talk to, and though I looked at a solution on spotify it does not work on my mac.

Hi samhelene97, I was given the advice below by Peter, which ultimately worked. Re: [Windows7] Spotify premium on wrong account [ New ]Options ‎05-11-2013 10:19 AMHey @mattiasskroder ! Welcome to the community :)
If you could get in touch with the customer services team directly using the online contact form they can get that swapped over for you.
If you get an automated email reply back directing you to the community or help pages, you need to reply directly to that email (even if its from no-reply) and one of the customer services agents will get back to you as soon as possible.

When clicking to send something from a site by email internet exploroer opens instead of firefox how can I change this

While online, when I wish to respond to a question etc and the site I am on directs me to email, internet explorer opens to let me in to my email on yahoo. How do I change this so it directs me my email access on firefox instead of internet explorer.

Is this the wrong way to do it?
The safest way to send images is to create a compressed file and send that.
Click the image you want to send, go to File in the menu bar and select Compress... You end up with a file with a .zip at the end. Attach that to your email. Then trash the .zip file.
The person at the other end only has to double click the .zip attachment.
You can compress are single image or a folder of them.

AIM/Gaim/Adium/etc compatible aliases in iChat?

Is it possible to have user-set aliases in iChat that are compatible with the aliases that are used by other IM clients, such as Adium and Gaim?
I ask this because I have made heavy use of those aliases. On my Linux system, in Gaim, everyone had their own alias set. On my Windows PC, Gaim/Trillian/etc display those aliases. On my Mac, Adium displays those aliases that were set, but iChat doesn't.
Is there a way to have it display those aliases, without going though every user on the list and adding them to the Address Book? (Which would cause a lot of clutter)
Thanks.

Hi,
iChat in all it's A/V Versions will Video chat to AIM 5.5 and AIM 5.9 (Now called the Classic AIM) as they use the same Video and Audio Codecs.
When I downloaded AIM 6.1 to my Boot Camp version of Windows it will run with iChat 3 and 4.
I have not tried AIM 6.5 or AIM 6.8 as the AIM web site has had notices about both Not working the AIM 5.5, 5.9 or other Client such as iChat(for Macs) And Trillian (for the PC)
I went to use my Link to the Info on what AIM now call "Real Time" and the notice has been taken down (you now get this if you Search for Real Time)
The last notice I read implied that all AIM 6.x versions used Real Time.
One other note AIM 5.9 which is still downloadable does not work in Vista.
Having said all that about 20% of the people who have posted about AIM 6.1 or higher do report it will work with some PC to Mac connections.
Allowing the application used on the PC (In fact any non microsoft app) through the Windows Firewall after XP Service Pack 2's Update is important See here
If I was doing PC to Mac Video I would use Mebeam It is a Web Browser based option. Creating a room creates your own Page within the site. You give this URL to your Buddy and then enter it in their Web Browser. Both parties will see the Flash Control that needs setting to Allow for the camera and Mic to be accessed by the Web Browser.
I hope this helps somewhat.

The link to my web site is old, how do I change it?

When I first started with my podcast I was hosting my blog at blogger. I have since gone with my own host and just realized the link for my web site in itunes shows the old URL of http://fierceugly.blogspot.com instead of http://www.fierceugly.com Where in the world do I update it? I checked the RSS feed to see if it was in there and it is not. I'm talking about the link on the show page where you have WEBSITE, REPORT A CONCERN and TELL A FRIEND.
This link will take you there in iTunes: http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=288699848
Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

I just looked in my feed file and there is no mention of the old URL fierceugly.blogspot.com Here's the contents:

My husband's christian name shows up on I cloud instead of mine how do I change it?

My husband's christian name apperars on I cloud instead of mine. My name is on id but his is on the credit card. How can I get my name instead of his?

You need to set up the accounts in System Preferences/Accounts, then activate Fast User Switching.
That way you can quickly log in to your own account - then back to his.
You should obviously have different passwords.

All links are opening in new tabs. How do I change this so links open in the same tab?

This started with upgrade to FF 10. I've tried switching Tabs options on and off but everything keeps opening in new tabs rather than switching to the link in the open window. This leads to many tabs that I have to chase to get to the page I wanted to open.
Thanks in advance for your advice.

Maybe some of the extensions are causing a problem. I suggest you try using
* [[safe Mode]] <-- clikable link for instructions --
* do NOT make changes in the first window,just click on continue
* use only the default firefox theme
* if you continue to have problems; then whilst still in safe mode disable all plugins
It is also worth trying to ensure all extensions are uptodate
* see [[troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
You may have to try using the reset controls and toolbars option from safe-mode BUT that may loose customisations that you have made.

My icloud is linked to my husband's icloud. How can I change it so that my itunes email address shows up and not my husband's? All my apps also go to his phone. None of my pics, or apps were saved on my phone. I think because it has his itunes info.

My husband and I traded phones a week ago. Now I have my phone back. So when I got my # back I tried to recall all my stored data via icloud but nothing except contacts was retrieved. At ATT they said they could tell that I have over 200 photos but we couldn't recover any of them. They said all I had to do was recall them from icloud. But it didn't work. Now my husband says every time I download a new app it also gets it. We share the same itunes account but different icloud accounts. So what can I do? I made an appointment with the genious bar at the Apple Store but I am anxious to try to fix it before my appointment time in 2 more days. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Welcome to the Apple Community.
To begin with, I would like to try to explain Apple's confusing nomenclature in regard to iCloud.
Apple have called the whole cloud thing iCloud, there are a number of features under the iCloud umbrella, some of which require their own login. iTunes is one of these, another is what Apple have unfortunately also called iCloud too.
You can use the same Apple ID (account) to login to both iCloud and iTunes, but you don't need to and often users will login to each service using a different ID.
The part that you need to remember is that the services available when you log into iCloud are completely different and unrelated to those when you log in to iTunes. Your iCloud login enables mail, contacts, calendars, find my phone, Back to My Mac, Documents & Data sharing and photostream, it does not affect any of your iTunes services.
To avoid confusion when discussing your problem, when I mention iCloud, I am referring to the services under the iCloud login, Whereas I will refer to the whole cloud thing as The Cloud.
It appears you want to remove his ID from iCloud on your device and add your own back, you can do this at settings > iCloud > Delete account and then sign in again using your Apple ID. By doing this your data should be added back to your device, unless your husband has deleted it when using your ID. Photo stream is a little different.
Photostream in the cloud only keeps photos from the last 30 days (subject to a 1,000 photo limit). When photostream syncs the photos to your device they will stay there (subject to a 1,000 photo limit) until deleted, which means you may well have more photos in your photostream album on your device than there are in photostream in the cloud.
The consequence of this is that if you turn photostream off and on again on your device (or enable it for the first time), it will only be populated with photos from the last 30 days, which may not be all the photos that were previously in the photostream album on that device.
You should also decide whether you want to share your iTunes content with each other. If you do share, you can stop the apps and music etc., that he buys on his device downloading to yours by turning off automatic downloads on your device at settings > iTunes & App Stores.

For Lightroom 5 you can adjust the language within the Preferences within Photoshop Lightroom.

If you purchased it from the Adobe Store on the web then you need to contact Adobe. If you purchased it from another party on the web then you need to contact that third party vendor.

AIM 4 Mac/Windows (Triton Version), No iChat 4 now (I want Video)

Hello: I have a group of Windows XP users (Family) who don't mind installing a specific Program into their computer for the sole purpose of On-Line Video Chatting with me.
Does anybody have experience with AIM for Mac (Triton Version), Video communicating with a Windows user using AIM for Windows (Triton Version), and leaving iChat out of the equation (until it's more compatible) ?
I just want to know if it's less problematic to stick with one Company (server) Thanks, MLR

HI MRL,
My FAQ has nothing but the same info Niel gave you.
Also note the Link to AIM 5.9 is wrong (out of date) in that FAQ which might lead to confusion.
AIM 5.9 (This link) or Trillian.
NOT AIM/AOL's new (beta) Triton (Which is where the out of date link goes).
