Buddies with multiple jabber accounts - How to select?

I use iChat Jabber support to connect to MSN and ICQ networks. I associate the msn/icq users with a profile in the address book so I see the names in the buddies list (instead of [email protected] server.com
The problem is when a single user is in more than one network (with a msn and an icq account for instande). In this case iChat only shows one entry in the buddies list, no matter if the user is online at msn, icq or both. This is fine, but when I wanto to send a message and I double clik on the buddies name it always selects the Yahoo account for sending the message.
Is there a way to select the other account (MSN) without duplicating the address entries in Address book?
Thank you

Mail with multiple gmail accounts sending messages from wrong email, other than the one i select

mail with multiple gmail accounts sending messages from wrong email, other than the one i select:
i'm using mail on osx 10.7 with multiple gmail accounts. when i create an email, i check to be sure i'm sending/replying from the correct account. after i send it, somehow it actually sends it from a different account, other than the one i've selected "from." this is evidenced by the reply email i receive. how can i fix this?
in preferences, i have "send new messages from : account of selected mailbox"

From the Mail menu bar, select
          Mail ▹ Preferences...
The Mail preference dialog opens. Select the Composing tab from the row of icons at the top. From the menu labeled
          Send new messages from:
choose
          Account of selected mailbox
Note that this setting may have no effect if you start a new message while a VIP or smart mailbox is selected in the mailbox list. Those are saved searches, not actual mailboxes.
If the problem remains, select the Accounts tab in the preference dialog, then select the affected account in the list on the left.
In the Account Information pane, select the correct server in the menu labeled
          Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP)
If there's only one server in the menu, select
          Edit SMTP Server List...
and add a new server with the correct settings. If you're not sure how to do that, try the Mail Settings Lookup.
Another possibility is that the wrong card in your address book is selected as yours. Select your card in the Contacts application. Then select
          Card ▹ Make This My Card
from the menu bar.

User exit after selecting vendor with multiple bank accounts

Hi,
the requirement is that a pop-up should appear after the user selects a vendor with multiple bank accounts, in transaction MIRO, FB60, F-43 and a few other transactions.
I was thinking of a user exit. Honestly, I wonder if this is technically possible ?
Any hints welcome,
regards,
Rolf

Buddies with multiple IDs: how to message to a specific one?

Here's a relatively simple problem, on the face of it, that I can't figure out how to solve. Is there in fact a solution?
I have an increasing number of buddies with multiple IDs (almost always AIM), for instance, one for home and one for work. Because most of them have broadband in both places, they don't shut their computers down in either location and are usually signed in to iChat/AIM in both. I've got their various IDs noted in their cards in Address Book, but in iChat I only see one entry for the person regardless of which ID, or both, is signed in at the moment. There doesn't seem to be much logic to which picture iChat displays along with the entry, so I can't ever tell which ID I am looking at. I know that a mouseover on the iChat entry will tell me the status of all IDs associated with that person, but how can I send a message to the ID that I want?
Example: buddy is at work and signed in using work ID. Buddy's spouse is at home, also signed in, using home ID. I see one entry for my buddy, showing as active. It might display the home picture and it might display the work picture. If it's the home ID, and open a message window, I'll be messaging with the spouse at home, instead of with my buddy at work -- and I don't see any way to get at the other ID. Is there a way to pick the ID I want to message with?
I see that I can keep them separate if I create different groups and add each ID, from the same card, to each group. But that's clumsy (as is creating separate cards altogether) and basically removes the meaningfulness of the groups. Is there some obvious trick I am missing, or is what I want to do just not possible?

Hi Ralph,
You're exactly right; I need to do the opposite. I suspect it just isn't possible or the solution would be more self-evident. As I mentioned in my original post, the only way I've been able to make it work is to add the IDs separately in iChat and make sure they are added to different groups. Doing this will keep them separate but based on the same Address Book card. In the same group, however, they collapse into one entry and lose their meaning. Unfortunately, keeping separate groups for such a purpose makes the groups essentially meaningless.
As I would imagine this to be an increasingly common occurrence, this seems to be a definite shortcoming of iChat.
Thanks for your response.

How can I share only the same music with multiple iTunes accounts

Hello
I hope someone can help. [I am using Windows Vista (Unfortunately J) and iTunes 10]
I am trying to share the same music library with multiple iTunes accounts. Basically, I want to know if there is a way to automatically upload to other libraries when importing new music into my library, vice versa. [Better information below]
Me, my sister and my dad all use iTunes (on different iTunes accounts), and before now we used to have are own music on our own windows user. Due to many duplicates and a loss of hard drive space I have brought an external hard drive and organised all the music.
It was all going well - I first populated all the music onto my iTunes, exported the library, and then imported it on both the other users. However! Because this is only a copy of the library, when I try to import a new CD, it will not show up on there’s until I “Add File to Library”! Originally I thought about using the same library however we each have are own apps etc, that we don’t want to share.
If you need anymore information please ask!

Hello roaminggnome
Unfortunately the support is down at the moment, I will have a better look later. I did go though the Apple support previously, however I found nothing that worked.
The first thread I came across was “Home Sharing” however no mater what I did, it did not appear in the iTunes sharing list (I did go though the “Show Sharing Networks” support as well)
Secondly, I saw “Using A Single Library With Multiple Accounts On The Same PC” (Something like that) but all this did was let us share the same music location, if I was to rip extra music, it will not show in there library

Migrate itunes from pc to mac with multiple user accounts

I've read the numerous articles on transferring one's itunes library from a windows machine to a mac and I *think* I've got the details sorted (have itunes copy everything and then organize my library, then copy whole folder to external drive). I only have one itunes account but it my full library and itunes account is used across different windows user accounts.
My mac is setup with multiple user accounts and I'd like to have a single library and single itunes account (same apps, etc.,). I'm not quite sure how to migrate the library from windows and then set it up on the mac such that all mac user accounts are sharing the same library and itunes account. Any guidance?
Forgot to mention, have 2 iphones and 1 ipad as well, all attached to the same apple id.

See these support documents:

IMac with Multiple login accounts

Have an iMac with multiple login accounts for each member of my family. Will Home Sharing allow us to share music across our iTunes libraries?

Yes, just follow these instructions: iTunes: How to share music between different accounts on a single computer
Home Sharing is not required in this case.

Ichat can't communicate with my jabber account?

For the past week, I have gotten the same error message when trying to logon to my ichat account:
ichat can't communicate with the jabber account... could not connect to host.
I went into the preferences and tried a few different things but nothing worked. I returned everything to the original settings and hoped the problem would solve itself. It did not. I deleted the account and recreated it...still no help.
What should I do??

Hi,
In the iChat Menu, then Preferences chose the Accounts Pane
Then chose the Server Settings tab
Example
On this pic I have edited out the real Server name.
At the second red Arrow this account is using port 5222 and no SSL to login and Text chat.
If I was logged out of this account then that Text and Port would be Dark (Black) text and would be editable.
Some Jabber Accounts use SSL and iChat will automatically change the Jabber Port listing to 5223
Googletalk is one of these.
If the Mac Firewall is ON (System Preferences > Security > Firewall tab) and in the Advanced Button "Allow Signed Apps" is enables and iChat is in the list then the Firewall will allow iChat to receive incoming data.
Form there your computer is connected to the Internet.
This will involve a Modem.
If the Modem is a DSL model then it is likely to Route which is turn means you may have to set up the ports iChat needs there. (Meaning it is a router/Modem combined)
A cable modem generally does not route and those functions are taken up by a router if you use one.
A Router whether combined or standalone is generally set up using a web browser to access the Interface web pages.
One of the Methods of opening the ports needed is called Port Forwarding (although some devices do list other phrases such as Services)
Once these are entered they form part of a table.
Generally they list a IP address that those ports will work for.
That IP should be the IP of the computer
Example of a Linksys page.
Sorry it is blurry but you can make out each port is pointing to IP 192.168.1.100 (although only the top two are Enabled). The set of iChat ports listed are for iChat 2 and 3. (they will cover those used by iChat 4 and higher)
This listing of an IP restricts the use of those ports listed to that IP (Computer).
IF the router is doing DHCP to Issue IP addresses to the computers the IP that the computer has may change now and then - this will mean the ports listed will not be pointing to the Computer as it now has a different IP
Another method for opening ports is called UPnP (Universal Plug and Play)
This is simple Enable/Disable setting that allows the apps to tell the router to allow the ports it needs.
This also allows multiple computers to use the same ports.
It is fair to say that some brands of router (or Combined device) have UPnP enabled by default so you may never have had to make the settings.
Do you know if this has been done ?

New Mac User: iTunes Auth with multiple user accounts

With a Mac with multiple user accounts, does EACH user account need to have iTunes authorized, or is iTunes authorized for an entire mac machine?

So then I assume that iTunes will know then if each of the computer's user accounts has a different iTunes account?
When you authorize an iTunes account on your computer, the authorization info is stored in \Users\Shared\. When you run iTunes, it looks there to see if it can play purchases. The purchase account info is embedded into each purchased file.

1 Apple TV 2nd Gen, Windows 7 Computer with multiple user accounts

The issue that I am having is I have 1 Apple TV 2nd Gen and Windows 7 Computer with multiple user accounts.
When I log onto my Windows user account, open up Itunes and turn on home sharing my Apple TV work perfect but if another family member switches to their Windows user account without logging me out, the home share shows up on Apple TV but it just says "Loading ... Library" and never loads.
If we switch back to my user account, restart iTunes, everything is fine. Is there a way to keep my home share active in ATV2 across multiple user accounts? All of my video is under my account.

You can home-share multiple libraries but only use one account at a time.

IMac with multiple user accounts "cannot associate apple id for ....."

I have an iMac with multiple user accounts each with an Apple ID and individual iTunes library and Itunes match linking to iPhones iPads etc.
I bought songs on my iPhone yesterday, on trying to listen to them on the iMac (my user account) this morning I get the "cannot associacte Apple ID for another 31 day" meassage.
Is there any way round this? or is the answer only purchase via iTunes on the iMac in the individual account. Why do Apple do this?

I'm guessing it's for piracy reasons.

Having trouble with multiple user accounts

I am still getting used to Aperture and am having trouble with multiple user accounts on my Mac.
My wife and I have separate accounts on our Mac, and both have Administrator rights. We keep our Aperture library in the "Shared" folder, and I have made sure that both she and I have read/write capabilities on the Aperture library.
However, she has difficulty creating new projects, saving data, and viewing thumbnails in Aperture. Whenever she creates a project, it does not save into Aperture, and cannot be viewed by any user. In addition, changes she makes to photos do not save. She also cannot view thumbnails of any photos (although she can see the photos in the viewer).
Are there any changes I need to make to the user accounts so she can have all these capabilities?
Many Thanks.

Rather than having the Aperture library reside in the shared folder, keep it within a folder residing at the top level of your mac, eg.
I actually keep mine on one of my RAID disks.

Go into Settings App and turn OFF Find My iPhone. It will ask for your old password, but in the future you can use your new Apple ID account. If you need to reset the old password try this: https://iforgot.apple.com/password/verify/appleid?language=US-EN&returnURL=https ://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa&app_id=93&app_type=ext

Cannot ping ibook with multiple admin accounts

i am trying to set up remote control across a LAN, and have had success with two iMac G5's controlled from my dual G5. the problem is that i can't connect to an iBook with exactly the same settings and firewall config.
in trying to troubleshoot, i have noticed that i can't ping the iBook, and the only thing i can think of that is different is that the iBook has two user accounts, both of which have admin privileges. could this be causing the problem?
if not, what else could i try? any suggestions, please?

I doubt very much that the problem is caused by having two user accounts with administrator privileges. I have several systems with multiple admin accounts and have never had them cause a problem with the network.
Since you can't even ping the iBook, that would seem to make it a problem with the OS or the network, not with Apple Remote Desktop, so you might have more luck getting suggestions if you ask in the networking forum in the appropriate Mac OS X area.
Good luck.

IChat can't communicate with the Jabber account

Got the instructions for "Configuring iChat for Google Talk" from Google at:
http://www.google.com/support/talk/bin/answer.py?answer=24076
But after adding my Gmail info. I keep getting this error message:
iChat can't communicate with the Jabber account "[email protected]"
Anybody out there come across this and solved this sucker?
THANKS

Hi,
You have entered the account info as a Jabber Name and not chosen the Google option
With iChat Open go to the iChat Menu > Preferences > Accounts
Click on the Plus Button at the bottom of the List.
In the top item in the new pane Choose GoogleTalk.
Add your ID exactly as it appears when you Log in to the Web Mail page at Google (Mail seems to except either ending, @google.com or @gmail.com but the Google Talk server does not)
Enter in the password
Click the Done button
You should now have Buddy List that Logs On
In the Account list in iChat you will now have at least three Accounts Listed (the faulty one, the new one and Bonjour)
If you then check the Server Setting tab/button on both the "google" accounts you will find the new one says the server in talk.google.com
The other will use the last part of your ID (in your case you entered a name/ID ending @gmail.com).
The reason for your confusion is that those Google Instructions are for iChat 3
You have "Missed" the bit about changing the Server Name in the Server Setting tab to talk.google.com as in fact you can add it as a Jabber account and then change the server name the same way.
You could change the server info in the "old" account or you can highlight it the list then press the minus button to Delete it.
One other thing.
It is important that Talk is Enabled in your everyday Google Account Setting (Not the mail ones).
This does add the Chat option to the Mail Web page and of course allows iChat to use the GoogleTalk servers.
I have several Jabber Accounts including Google as well as several AIM valid Logins.
I don't find the Google servers go Off line or drop connections any more (Nowadays) than the AIM ones or other Jabber servers.
