Cannot use non .mac email in .mac account

when i open the preferences for my .mac account in MAIL, the "email address" is my .mac addres but i want it to be another address. when i change to the other address MAIL automatically puts my .mac address back in, so all my outgoing emails say the email is from my .mac address.
can this be fixed?

No it can't be fixed.
Apple prevents entering a different email address in the email address field for .Mac account preferences to appear as the sending email address for messages sent with a .Mac account as part of an overall effort to prevent spam emanating from .Mac's domain since spammers provide a bogus sending or return email address by doing the same.
You can enter a different Reply To Address by adding a Reply To address field for the message header but requires manually entering the chosen reply to email address for each sent message.

How do i set up a 2nd email for my 10yr old using my .mac account

I'm been fumbling around trying to figure out how to add a new mail account for my 10 yr.old without messing with my own .mac account. I've set up a new user account but when I go to the mail program, I just don't get how to set up a 2nd account using my .mac account. is it possible?

You need to upgrade to a Family Pack account, and then create a subaccount.

Mail - alias non-Mac account

We have an account with a provider (non-Mac) and 1 alias. In Mail, I have addded the alias to the e-mail address field as per the instructions. When I send out e-mails from the alias, the receiver does not see the alias, but the main account name. When I try to add another POP-account, I get stuck under username and login-name because it does not accept the same entries as for the main account, while that is all the provider accepts. Mail coming in works fine. How can I solve this?
Thanks for helping me out.

You cannot access a .Mac account alias as a separate account in Mail.
The following was copied from Mail Help:
If you have a .Mac account, you can send and receive email using .Mac email aliases. An email alias is an alternate email address for your .Mac account.
To send a message from a .Mac email alias:
Choose File > New Message to open a compose message window.
Click the Account pop-up menu and choose the email alias.
When you send the message, it will appear to come from your email alias.
Messages addressed to your .Mac email alias will arrive in your .Mac account inbox.
To set up a .Mac email alias, choose Mail > Preferences and click Accounts. Select your .Mac account and click Account Information. Click Edit Email Aliases to go to the .Mac website. Log into your account. Click Accounts and then, in the Email Aliases section, click Create Alias (if none exist yet) or click the Add button (if at least one exists already). Enter a name for the alias and click Create Alias. The alias will then be available in the Account pop-up menu in new message windows.
If the Account pop-up menu doesn't appear in the compose message window, click the Action menu in the lower-left corner of the message header and choose Customize. Select the checkbox next to Account and click OK.

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.

I cannot use my Apple email primary Apple email account.

I cannot use my Apple email as my username or primary Apple email account. That is a fact. It has been verified by first and 2nd level support. I had to go get a Google email account to use for my primary Apple email account. That is unequivocally the most thoughtless, senseless and downright stupidest thing I have heard.

While you can't currently change your Apple ID to a Mobile/iCloud email address, I found a solution that helps with a related problem.
Suppose you've recently got an iCloud email address, but Apple are still sending all your iTunes Store, App Store and Mac App Store receipts to your old gmail address (the one that's still your Apple ID). And suppose they're also sending all the Apple Support Communities notifcation emails to your old gmail address. How do you change it? How do you fix it?
Well the option exists, but it is hidden away in a weird place. To get Apple sending all of their receipts and notifications to your new iCloud email address...
• Go to your country's Apple Store website http://store.apple.com/
• Click on the Account button in the top-right corner
• Under Account Settings, click on Change your default shipping or billing info
• Sign in with your usual Apple ID and password
• The email address listed under Payment Information is the key
• Click on Edit next to Payment Information and change that email address to your iCloud address
That's all you have to do.

Podcasts don't play m4a files on a non .mac account.

So here is the deal I created a podcast site using iweb. Saved to a folder and uploaded it to www.damntourist.com/testcast
I didn't change anything. Just created it and ftp'd to the web.
If you click on the sample podcast, it doesn't load. Seems that mp4 and m4a files do not work on non .mac accounts.
You can also check out www.damntourist.com/audio/rss.xml
This is for another test that I did. Here you will see that the m4a or mp4 files can not be downloaded but the mp3 files can. All of these files are in the same folder.
The files do play just fine from my hard drive in itunes, on my ipod and through quicktime.
Does anyone know why m4a and mp4 files can be played and downloaded from a .mac account but not another server.
I don't mind doing things a little differently. I also don't mind working with my hosting company to make changes to their server.
I have spoken with the Apple Genius Bar folks and they don't have answers.
Is this enough information?
thank you for your help,
-bill

You bet it can't play what it can't find. Problem is, the file is right where the code says it is. Everything is in place. That is what I am talking about. The files are there. The code points to the right place and yet something doesn't work. I even had Apple Genius staff confirm file structure and naming.
It can't play what it can't find:

I broke the link (added a space) to keep this from
stretching this page.
The .mp4 file isn't on the server or is named
different than the HTML code.

Using my .mac account on iChat AV (problems)

Hi, I've been using iChat AV with my .mac account since december, and it was all fine 'til some weeks ago.
From the end of may 2006 I have many problems using my .mac account in iChat AV.
Sometimes I can connect, but usually I can't connect! And the problem is the same on my iMac G5, on my old iBook G4 12" 1.33, and on my new MacBook 1.83...
When I try to enter with a AIM account it's fine and I connect!
But all my friends have my .mac account and I want to use it!
Can anyone help me?
P.S. I tried to use programs like adiumX, but I still have the same connection problem using my .mac account! And I still pay for it!!!!

Hi maurizio79,
Every now and then AIM sort out what they think are unused account names and make them available again.
Whilst they are doing this there are often problems with .mac names for some reason.
After the period that lots of people were having problems, there have been cases of invidual .mac users who have problems.
The solution is to speak to .mac and ask them to look into it.

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.

Can open any adobe product on windows 8. its always says cannot use this product under a guest account

can open any adobe product on windows 8. its always says cannot use this product under a guest account... this is the licence version of adobe cc master collection. also i did use the product past few months without any issue...

Older trial versions are said to be found at the following sites:

Acrobat pro X error: Cannot use this product under a guest account

We are installing acrobat pro with GP on XP systems. The install goes fine but on some users machines when they launch the program it comes back with
"Cannot use this product under a guest account". The users are admins on the system. If I uninstall acrobat pro 10 and reinstall in manually the same error happens. (note these systems had acrobat pro 9 installed, but was un-installed with the acrobat pro 10 MST)

Adobe WTF???!!! I have wasted a whole day on this problem and it's pissing me off. I'm trying to do something very simple.
I have Acrobat Standard X. I installed the software on local administrator User A and it works
I login as local administrator User B and it doesn't work, says "Cannot use this product under a guest account". Fine.
I uninstalld software as User A and reboot
I login as User B and installd the software. Software doesn't run, still says "Cannont use this product under a guest account". Why???!!! This is ridiculous. User B, is a local admin acount, it is not a "guest account". I understand that with this license I can only run the software with one account. I want to run the software with User B, why are you forcing me to run it with User A???!!!
Can someone from Adobe please give a solution to this ridiculous problem? I'm losing my patience with your products and I am considering going another route...

After installing, I receive the message, "Cannot use this product under a guest account." What's up?

I have installed Acrobat Pro XI (Education Edition). But I receive the message, "Cannot use this product under a guest account." What should I do?

Run as admin/ talk to your IT department.

Cannot use this product under a guest account

I installed Photoshop Elements 12 today and registered online. I tried to use Photo Editor and get a dialog box "cannot use this product under a guest account". I went to the Organizer side of the program and tied to log in under Help, but that didn't work. Please tell me how to correct this issue.

OK, we have a fix. My Administrator noticed that there was an Adobe Acrobat issue found at http://forums.adobe.com/thread/783362 that was almost identical to what I was experiencing. In that thread, the user was a member of a group called “Administrators” but was also a member of the group called "Guests". The program saw both user accounts but allocated the user to the Guests account and gave the same error “Cannot use this product under a guest account”. With that background, my Administrator tried to remove me from the Guests group. However, I have Windows 7 Home Premium as my operating system and it doesn't allow access to the Local Users and Groups Snap-in under the Microsoft Management Console (MMC). Therefore, he had to:
Open a command prompt (run CMD as Administrator)
net localgroup Guests /delete
Log off user
Log back on as user.
When he did that, I had a fully functional PSE12. So tomorrow I will begin to explore the new program and have high expectations that it will be as great as its reviews. Thanks again for all your help.

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

How can I set up email so I can send iPhoto without using a .mac account?

Hello!
I am trying to send an iPhoto via email. Since I do not want to set up the .mac account yet, how do I correctly set the email send and receive perimeters? POP?
I want to use my yahoo email.
Thanks!
Powerbook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.4)

Thanks again Allan.
I figured out the AOL iChat LATE last night.
I finally got my email up and running. I called Cox to get the correct POP and SMTP addresses. It still wasn't sending, I spoke with Apple who confirmed I had all my perimeters set up correctly. Back to Cox. After a couple frustrating hours, the only reason the email was not sending was that Cox did not support the SSL that I had checked off.
The great thing about Mac (which I kept overlooking) was when I was trying to send my email, it was giving me hints for example the error message smtp.etc is not connecting with the SSL. I could have saved myself some trouble by unchecking that and testing it earlier.
