Can I use my msn account with ichat?

I tried to connect to my msn account via Jabber, but the connection to the host : "hotmail.com" failed!
What happened?
Its the same thing for a google talk account!!!
( I didn't try with an AIM account because I don't have one but i think it should be the same )
Just an other question : do all Mac owners have an @me.com adresse and how to obtain it?
Last question : can we use Skype accounts with ichat?
Thank you all

Can you use any email account with iChat?

It appears that iChat allows you to add other other email accounts other than AOL or MobileMe but can you chat using these accounts and can you screen share etc with non MobileMe users?
Message was edited by: Peter O'Toole

Hi,
The answer is yes but your question is wrong.
The AIM page for Registration now allows you to use any Email ID as a Screen Name.
AIM has long done this for the Apple IDs of [email protected] and the MobileMe type email IDs of [email protected]
They have also done it for other ISPs in the past as well
More recently I have had someone test with me having used a Hotmail ID in the AIM Registration process.
Jabber IDs look like email IDs and in the case of the GoogleTalk option they can be.
As long as the Screen Name works in one of your Buddy lists it will be valid And if they are an iChat user with iChat 4 or above then they will be able to Screen Share.
NOTES:
Screen Sharing in iChat uses a Random port so any router or modem that routes need to be able to use UPnP or Port Mapping Protocol to open the ports or it will not work.

Oh yes! Apple will be happy for you to buy as many Apple products as you can afford.
As and when needed, each can be given its own selections of content to sync with.

I can't use my youtube account with my apple tv

I can get YouTube on my Apple TV, but it won't let me use my YouTube account (created through my Mac), on the Apple TV. I'm stumped.

The two are incompatible, HDMI is a digital signal and VGA is an analog signal. You need a monitor with a HDMI port or a DVI-I port, these are both digital signals. DVI-I gives the best output.

How can I use multiple icloud Accounts with Fotos?

Hello.
Yesterday, my wife and I started using the new App "Fotos" on OSX and iOS.
What I can't figure out, and where I would like to get some insight and help, is how we should use our icloud Accounts.
How it is right now:
- Wife (MacBook and iPhone)
Has her own icloud-Account ([email protected]) for Backup (iOS) and Fotosync, Keychainsync, Bookmarks. 20GB iCloud-Account (18GB free).
- Husband (MacBook, Mac Mini and iPhone and iPad)
Has his own icloud-Account ([email protected]) for Backup (iOS) and Fotosync, Keychainsync, Bookmarks. 20GB iCloud Account (10 GB free).
- Husband has about 400 GB of Photos from over 10 Years on Mac Mini
How I want it to be:
- Husband
upgrades to at least the 500GB Account, to use for all 400GB of Photos and Backup, Keychainsync, Bookmarks.
- Wife
Has her own Account ([email protected]) for Keychain and Bookmark, but uses [email protected] on MacBook and iPhone for Backup an Fotosync, so that all Photos are stored in a single one family "container". All Photos in one Place without being able to forget to put them there.
I don't see, how I can accomplish that, since only one "real" icloud account seems to be possible in iOS, so that if i put my account in her iPhone I would get the Photo and Backup I want, but she would not be able to sync her own bookmarks an keychain any more.
Any thought on how to resolve this?
Am I missing something?
Thanks for your ideas,
thomas

Yes, you could have multiple iCloud accounts for Mail, Contacts, Calendars, Reminders, Safari, Notes, and Find My iPhone, but only one primary iCloud account for Photo Stream, Documents & Data, and Storage & Backup.

How Can I Use a Gmail Account with Multiple Email Addresses in iPhone Mail?

Can I use one itune account with two iphones

I now have two iphones can you have one itune account and keep your contacts separate, I dont care about apps

Yes you can, iTunes will identify your phone by serial number and phone number.
Best if you can to set different name to your phone under SETTINGS/GENERAL/ABOUT/Name and to name like e.g. iphone3G and the other iPhone 4s.
So everytime you sync, itunes will backup your phone's contents and data and you will be able to identify from the backup files correctly in future.

Can you use a gmail account with Mail?

I read the previous post about the yahoo email account and I was wondering if the same applies for a Gmail account. It is a free account, and I think that set up all of the information right, however I still cannot complete the setup. Maybe i am setting up the POP information wrong, but I'm not sure.
Thanks

You must enable POP forwarding for the account preferences via webmail access for the account.

Can't use my .Mac account in iChat

Does anyone have the server address and port for .Mac? My computer thinks I am trying to connect to the AOL server.

Hi,
Umm, now we enter the muddy waters of what is an Apple ID and where can it be used.
You can create an Apple ID for Logging in here at Discussions, iTunes, the On line Store and a few other places like the Developers areas.
In most cases this ends up being an Email address that you have.
You certainly have to list an Email for contact and for retrieval of Passwords and such.
Using the iChat "Get an iChat Account" option in iChat 4 when set to the @Mac.com setting (And the MobileMe and @Mac.com options in iChat 5) will take you to this page to register for an @mac.com name
At this point some history may help.
@mac.com names were the email names that Apple gave when people registered for the .Mac Service that preceded MobileMe.
At that time a Trial accounts worked in iChat forever, as did Lapsed accounts.
MobileMe does allow Trial accounts but the name as a valid iChat Screen Name stops working once the Trial is cancelled.
Apple Email addresses from @Mac.com or MobileMe (@Me.com) are automatically Apple IDs
They are also automatically Valid AIM Screen Names (iChat Names)
So. You Apple ID if based on an Email that does not come from Apple is not likely to be an Valid AIM screen Name.
Therefore in the screen in iChat > Preferences > Accounts > + Button at bottom of list, you cannot use the @mac.com option (Or the MobileMe option) and enter the Apple ID as the Name. (If that is what you meant by "create")
If you go on to select @mac.com or the MobileMe option and then hit the Button "Get an iChat Account" it will depend which version of iChat you are using as to where you get Linked to.
All options including the AIM one lead to the Apple @mac.com name registration if using iChat 4
In iChat 5 the AIM one leads to the AIM Registration one and both Apple ones lead to the @mac.com page.
Stated another way.
Any Apple Email ID is also an Apple ID (iTunes, Stores, Discussions) AND An Valid AIM Screen name - Logging in then need the password to be 16 characters or Less.
Any Apple ID not based on an Apple Email is NOT an Valid AIM Screen Name.
<hr>
There's more.
Any @Mac.com name will work in iChat. If this was registered before the MobileMe service began AND the account was paid for - at the start of MobileMe you got a @me.com and for Email Purposes these could be linked and you could effectively still use the @mac.com ending one with the MobileMe service. (They are somewhat interchangeable in Mail)
On the iChat front though, this gives you TWO iChat Screen Names. (They are not Interchangeable here)
I hope all this lets you see where you are at.

HT1296 can i use one outlook account with two icloud accounts

I am running MS outlook 2010 on Windows XP platform and my wife and I both have iCloud accounts. I wanted to know whether or not both iCloud accounts could be automatically synced with my MS Outlook contacts/calendars.
I have no problem using one account at a time but hate the idea of having to toggle between the two accounts to keep outlook current.
Thank you.

Yes you can, iTunes will identify your phone by serial number and phone number.

I cannot open my comcast.net email accounts. I can see the Inbox Preview page but I can open, send a new email, etc.. It started Monday evening November 11, 2011. It happened a couple of times a few weeks ago then resolved.

Download and install the 10.6.8 Combo Update over your current installation of 10.6.8.It should repair whatever is corrupted. The Mac App Store does not belong in the Utilities folder, Mac OS X expects it to be in the Apps folder where it is installed..

Can I add my MSN contacts to iChat using my .Mac account?

I was wondering if there is anyway to add my MSN contacts on to iChat using my Mac account. I know that it is possible using a Jabber account and using my MSN account on iChat, but since I am paying for a .Mac account I might as well maximize its capabilties.
Please help,
shivsensarma

You can not add MSN Buddies to the AIm Buddy List.
You can however create a Jabber ID and then with a Third Party App link to what is called a Transport that will connect you to the MSN Service for Text Only chats.
Read the first two links in this section
http://www.ralphjohns.co.uk/page5.html#_jabber
The third link is the most up-to-date List of Jabber Servers with Transports I have found.
I may receive some form of compensation, financial or otherwise, from my link to my website.
