Can two peeps use iChat with different accounts on the same computer?

What do I do to REMOVE an old AIM account and replace it with a new account in IChat?
Can two peeps use iChat with different accounts in the same computer?
(Actually, two people share a laptop, but one of us cannot use her AIM account cuz mine is in iChat already... And, when traveling, I have the computer - and I would like to use iChat on the computer...)

In iChat 4 you can have more than one AIM Valid name logged in at once.
AIM valid = AIM, @mac.com or a MobileMe name.
What you are then stuck with is that iChat is linked to one Buddy Picture and The one Mac User Account's Address Book which may or may not have Full Names, emails details, or a Nickname in iChat 4 linked to the Screen Names.
Whilst it does let you both log in whilst using one Mac User Account there are drawbacks about who uses the keyboard and reading meesages from the other persons Buddies.

I dropped my macbook pro and the screen is broken can i still use it with an external monitor? Or can I or how do I transfer hard drive files to my mac mini?

I dropped my 17" macbook pro and the screen is broken. Can I still use it with an external monitor? When I plugged it into a monitor I had used it with before, I'm not able to see anything on the macbook screen to control it. It came on but I just got the blue screen with nothing else after typing in my password. (Didn't see the password form just assumed it was there somewhere and it did go from space to blue screen but no desktop icons, files, dock strip at top or anything else, just blank blue screen) so I can't access the system preferences.
Or can I / or how do I, transfer hard drive files to my mac mini? If not salvageable as is can I pull out the hard drive and make it an external harddrive? In otherwords is anything salvageable? It seems it's coming on I just can't access anything. BTW I was told it would cost aprox $1000 to replace the screen! I paid almost $4000 for this thing and it was running great - makes me sick to lose it!

I'd like to promise you that everything will be fine if you just get the monitor going - but it's hard to know what the hardware damage might be. It might be the monitor, or the damage might be greater.
Your best solution would be visit your local Apple Store and let them know what your situation is. They have access to diagnostics you don't, and they might be able to the best way to save your data and keep you computing. It's still not covered, but they can tell you what your current options are.
Um, you might consider investing in a backup drive.
And there other repair options, too. Powerbook Medic http://www.powerbookmedic.com/xcart1/pages.php?pageid=67 offers reliable repairs, and quotes prices well under Apple's.

Why can't I use PayPal with Family Sharing? Have a US Visa card but foreign address, and Apple does not seem to be able to cope with that (even though it is a multinational corporation). Could we lean on Apple to change this policy?

Paypal for Family Sharing - Why can't I use PayPal with Family Sharing? Have a US Visa card but a foreign address, and Apple does not seem to be able to cope with that (even though it is a multinational corporation). So I set up payment with Paypal, and it worked fine. Now I want to take advantage of Family Sharing, but Apple won't allow it. Could we lean on Apple to change this policy?

If you are not in the US then you cannot use the US store, the store's terms say that you have to be in a country to use it - if you are using the US store then you are risking having your account disabled.

Find it quite ridiculous that a 3 year old mba supports it and not a new iMac

Agreed. Why wouldn't you want your Photostream updated while your iMac is sleeping? I am bummed about this.

Is Tmobile contract free iPhone 6 locked to Tmobile network? Can it be used internationally with other carriers?

If I buy a Tmobile contract free iPhone 6 in apple store, does that mean it is locked and can only use Tmobile network? Can it be used internationally with other carriers? I travel a lot and do not want to find out my phone does not work the moment I insert a local carrier sim card.

"The iPhone 6 will come unlocked as long as customers pay full price," a T-Mobile representative said. "If customers choose to take advantage of T-Mobile’s Equipment Installment Plan it will be locked until the device is fully paid off. This policy applies at both T-Mobile and Apple stores."

I want to Use iChat with Skype to Videoconference several people

I want to video conference in my niece in New Zealand (PC using Skype) with iChat and the rest of my Mac family stateside.
I have Skype for Mac running and I have the iChat AV running. Any chance to hook in the Skype User with the iChat multi-pane video conference?
It looks like iChat only accepts iChat and AIM but not Skype. My niece apparently cannot get AIM in New Zealand.
Any clever help would be appreciated.

I want to use iChat for Skype as well. I want one chat client for all my communications. That was the point of iChat in the beginning, wasn't it? Hopefully, Apple will jump on the ball and support the best way for us common folk to communicate internationally. The supported Aim when they were king, why not the new king?
I stinks that I can not use the great app, because one no Skype but two I don't know anyone else that uses .mac.

Using iChat with Google Gmail address

I have a Google Gmail address. So I had my sister create one of her own. She told me what that address was and I added her to the Buddy List, no issues there. I also added my Gmail account under iChat - Preferences - Accounts. I can see that I am available. So can my sister, she sees me on her Buddy List. And I can see her on my Buddy List. So far everything looks like it should just work fine. But when she attempts to invite me to a video chat, I get the popup window from her asking if I want to accept her invite, so I click on Accept. But then it gets hung up on the spinning circle, waiting for her to connect. It will not and just hangs. So I have to simply close the window. I then try and invite her to a video chat, but she for some reason, does NOT see my invite popup window. So I had her check and recheck the settings in iChat - Preferences - Accounts. It matches to what I have set on mine. But I am still wondering why we cannot connect. The only thing we can do is text chat. Am I missing some little detail that I just cannot see ???? I have iChat version 5.0 - Snow Leopard. She has Leopard, I am thinking its version 4 for hers. Please any suggestions will help. Thanks in advance.

Hi,
So Mac to Mac. (and yes iChat 4 and iChat 5 as stated)
Google ID to Google ID which both can see and presumably Text chat.
This leave the Video and Audio Port along with the Visible Invite port.
The Visible Invite port seems to work.
Or rather calling out on your sister's end gives you the pop up but she is not getting your response.
She on the other hand can not get your Visible Invite.
I would start with checking on the Leopard end that her System Preferences > Sharing does not have Internet Sharing turned On.
This is an issue for iChat 4.x.x
Both ends should also check the Mac OS Firewall
System Preferences > Security Sharing.
In Leopard Allow All is the Firewall Off
Allow Specifics and Allow All will work for iChat but it has to be added to the list if Specifics is used (iChat is NOT an Essential app so that will not do).
In Snow Leopard if the Firewall is ON go to the Advanced Button and Enable Allow Signed apps and add iChat to the List.
Next check your Routing device's settings.
Use UPnP (Universal Plug and play) where you can to allow the ports to be used.
Most will let you call out but not allow things back if the ports are not opened here.
If you have a modem that routes and a router only one should be doing DHCP to the LAN.

If i set up my iphone on a pc, can i still use it with my mac?

i just got a hand-me-down iphone 3gs that's been restored and updated, etc. however, i am currently using a pc until i get my new macbook (which will probably not be for a few months). if i use itunes with my phone on my pc now, can i still set it up to sync later when i get my new laptop? or is it the same as with ipods, like once you set up on a pc, you can't add anything to it from a mac?

Depends on what you want to sync.
Contacts and calendars - yes with icloud.
photos yes with computer and future pictures with icloud.
Apps - does not make since, since apps are different for ipad and iphone.

Why can't i use "annotation" with JDK1.5?

I have installed JDK1.5.
I used Eclipse3.1 + Myeclipse4.0 with the jre of JDK1.5.
But when i wrote this class file(use with web framework Tapestry4.0):
package com.tapestry4.linkdemo.page;
import org.apache.tapestry.annotations.Persist;
import org.apache.tapestry.html.BasePage;
import java.lang.annotation.*;
public abstract class DirectLinkPage extends BasePage {
      @Persist
         public abstract int getCounter();
         public abstract void setCounter(int counter);
         public void doClick()
             int counter = getCounter();
             counter++;
             setCounter(counter);
}But the eclipse tell me that i can't use annotation with "@Persist",but when i try importing the java.lang.annotation.* pakcage,eclipse not report an error. Why? What can i do?

So I try downloading an app again today but it keeps saying it need to update to the newer iOS, which I can't with an iPad 1. I've already updated to the newest version I can.
It came to me that maybe this problem is coming from the app store. Well, I'd anyone knows of a way to go around this, please do tell me. Or is it that you can't download apps with iPad 1 anymore?
Thanks in advance!

Why can't I use Roboform2go with any Firefox version above 3.6.22?

Dear Support;
I love Firefox and I love Roboform2go. But now I can't use Roboform2go (with all the many passwords I have stored on Roboform2go) with any Firefox version above 3.6.22. Why not??? Also now McAfee SiteAdvisor doesn't work with Firefox 3.6.22.

Firefox says to update to 6.0 but roboform will not work. Should I update to firefox 6.0 or not?
