Get ichat contacts to another account with mobileme expired

hey everyone
i had bought a mobileme account a year ago and they finally sent me a message saying that my account was closed. i was using ichat then it freezed. i try logging back in then it says that my password is wrong. i did a little research and found out that apple cancels the ichat account when mobile me ends. so i wanted to know if there is a way of getting my contacts off my mobileme ichat account and putting them on my new updated AIM account.

No.
The Buddy List itself is held on the AIM servers (Even for Apple IDs)
The AIM servers check the Apple Servers to validate any ID
Therefore you cannot access that Buddy List
If on the other hand you added the Real names to the Buddies info they are stored in the Address Book.
You can drag names from the Address Book to your New Buddy List.
This way you will get all but the ones you had with Screen Names only.

  • IPhone Contacts & Calendars not syncing with mobileme

    Apologies if there is a solution to this posted already, I can't find it despite extensive searching!
    My iPhone Calendars & Contacts do not sync with MobileMe. I can't find a way of exporting or saving the data on the iPhone and importing it into my desktop iCal & Contacts apps.
    I have looked at all troubleshooting help I can find, and all is suggested is deleting/ resetting the phone & syncing from MobileMe. However, if I do this I will lose lots of contacts & calendar entries.
    The data will NOT sync from my phone despite following all available instructions. My desktop apps are all set to sync with MobileMe & this works fine, it's just the iPhone data will not transfer to MobileMe.
    Please help!!

    Since you are syncing your iPhone with your Mac, it should be syncing your contacts and calendars with your Mac as well (and your bookmarks if you have it set up to sync). You should have Mobile Me setup on your Mac to at least sync your Calendars and Contacts, which should be updating your Mobile Me account. If you want to check to make sure that all of your contacts that are on your iPhone are on your Mac, simply open up the Contacts App. Once you check this, add your Mobile Me account to your iPhone and let it sync your contacts and calendars, it will delete all the contacts and calendars that are currently on your iPhone, but the same data is on your Mac anyways. Once Mobile Me syncs with your iPhone you won't have to worry about it anymore.
    If you are having problems where you already setup your Mobile Me account on your iPhone and it's not syncing properly, deleted it, restart your iPhone, then add it again.
    Does this help?

    do I need to create another account with a different email account
    Yes, the email addresses need to be unique to each device. You may use the same Apple ID on each device, but the email address used by each device needs to be different.

  • Quickbook contacts use to sync with Mobileme.  Why do they not sync with Icloud

    Quickbook contacts use to sync with Mobileme.  Why do they not sync with Icloud

    MobileMe used SyncServices, part of the System, to sync contacts. iCloud uses a different protocol and evidently Quickbooks can't work with this.

    Syncing is not a backup. You are supposed to maintain your own backups that you can restore from in the event of a problem.

    I have an old ID that has $ but I can't remember the email or password.  How do I get the $ transferred to another account?

    You can't transfer a balance (nor its purchases) to another account. Do you have any of its purchases on your computer's iTunes library ? If you do then selecting it and doing 'get-info' (control-I) should tell you the account id on the Summary tab on the popup.
    You can also see if you can find the id and get the password reset via this page : http://iforgot.apple.com

  • IOS7 issues with getting unwanted contacts from another person who used to share an iCloud account with me....

    I used to share an iCloud account with my sister (mainly for music/iTunes reasons). After downloading iOS7, I got all her contacts so I made my own iCloud account in order to separate our contacts, calendars, etc. Now her contacts are gone from my phone list but when I text, they still show up when I am selecting a recipient. How do I get rid them?

  • Locked out with file vault. Did fix by setting up new user account but cannot access old account with files                           but I can't get back into my old account with all my doc's and pics

    I managed to get a few Time Machine Back Ups  before I passed away
    I'm not sure whether a ghost can do this, but if you were still alive, you could do as follows.
    First make sure you have read & write access to the folder you're trying to restore to. You should be able to see its contents in the Finder, and to move files in and out of it.
    This is an exception to the rule that you should never make any changes to backup data. I've tested this procedure in OS X 10.8 only. It should work with later versions, but I don't know whether it works in earlier versions. Use it only for files that were backed up from your home folder, or a folder on another volume created by you, and would normally be writable by you. Do not touch backups of system or application files.
    In the Finder (not in the time-travel view), navigate to the backup volume, then to the folder named "Backups.backupdb", and then to the snapshot you want to restore from. The snapshots are folders labeled with the date when they were created. Inside each of those folders is a file hierarchy like the one on the volume that was backed up. Descend through the hierarchy until you come to a folder named "Users," and inside that, a folder with your user name. The procedure will be different if you're trying to restore files on another volume.
    Select the folder and open the Info dialog (command-I). Click the padlock icon in the lower right corner of the window and authenticate. In the Sharing & Permissions section, give your account Read & Write access. You may have to close the dialog and repeat this step in order for the change to show up. Then click the gear icon and select
              Apply to Enclosed Items
    from the popup menu.
    Try the restore operation again, in the time-travel interface.

  • Transfer contacts from Google account with "@" to one without

    When I set up my mom's Pre, she already had a Google Reader account.  That account is "[email protected]".  Now, she'd like to use her PC to maintain her contacts.  Unfortunately, Google won't let her sign in to Gmail if the username as an "@" sign in it.  That precludes us from logging in to the old account to export the names for import into a new account.
     I've set up a new Google account, and I've linked it to the phone.  I was hoping that would be enough to sync between them.  As I'm sure the vets here know, that didn't do it. 
    Does anyone know an easy way to get the contacts out of the old Google account and into the new one?
    Thanks,
    Drake

  • Sync Contacts between Exchange account and MobileMe account

    On my iPad I use two different email accounts: one Exchange account with ActiveSync and one MobileMe account.
    How can I consolidate or sync Contacts between the two accounts?
    At least, I would like to be able to move contacts from my MobileMe account to my Exchange account. Is that possible?
    Thanks in advance for any hints or advice.

    You could each add the others iCloud to your devices as a secondary account in mail, contacts, calendars and just enable the services you wish to use.

  • How can I get IChat contacts on my IMessage?

    Hi, so I just got my new mac and I was very excited to start Ichatting. However, Ichat has been replaced by Imessage. I have a few questions regarding this. Is there a way for me to unistall imessage and get Ichat instead? If not, then how can I add IChat contacts to my Imessage. My sister is at university and she has IChat and I have IMessage and it wont let me message her because it says she is not signed up for IMessage. How can I make my Imessages connect to her Ichat?

    As Niel said, if it's a first generation iPad, you cannot update it past iOS 5.1.1.
    But if Facebook still offers their old app for that old iOS, here is how to get it:

  • Sync contacts from two accounts with Outlook 2013 in my PC

    My wife and I both have an account with individual contact lists. I am using the icloud program on my win8 PC to sync the contacts with Outlook 2013. Can I set-up this tool to sync the contacts from both apple accounts ?

    The sync process for contacts with a supported address book application on your computer is a bi-directional or true sync process, or should be.
    If you use Outlook on your computer for contacts and your iPhone includes contacts before the first sync for this data, you will be provided a merge prompt with the first sync for this data, which you want to select. After the first sync and merge in this situation, the contacts between the two will be kept synchronized with following syncs or should be.

  • Can i use two iphone 4's on my mac usings itunes account but also get different contacts and email accounts...help please

    Hi i two iphones one mine one my wifes.
    We have one mac laptop and one itunes account. is it possible to sync the two iphones on itunes but have two different contacts and email address.
    But i would also like my apps to work on her mobile as i do not want to pay for them twice..

    Yes. There is no device limit for the number of iPods, iPads, and iPhones that can be synced with the same iTunes library and iTunes account on the same computer. Each device can have its own sync preferences with iTunes on the same computer.
    If both iPhones are synced with the same Address Book under the same computer login account, then the contacts on each iPhone will be the same. With the Address Book on a Mac, you can sync select Address Book Groups only with an iPhone instead of the entire Address Book and all groups. You and/or your wife can create an Address Book Group or multiple Groups to be synced with each other's iPhone only. You can transfer the settings for one email account to one iPhone and the settings for another email account to the other iPhone.
