Help signing into ichat with a different account

?????prease.

Hi,
Welcome to the  Discussions
How Different ?
Just changing to a Different AIM Screen Name ?
Registering an Jabber ID ?
Adding a GoogleTalk name ?
Lets presume you have your new Screen Name.
(An Apple MobileMe Name will have to have a password of 16 characters or Less)
Go to the word iChat in the Menu Bar and click on it.
Select Preferences In the drop down.
Choose accounts (icon) in the Preferences Pane (it will open at the last one you used)
In Accounts there is a list down the left (It may only have Bonjour in it)
At the Bottom is a + sign/Button
Click this button
In the new pane is a drop down at the first item
Choose the option Relevant to your new Screen Name (Either AIM, @Mac.com, MobileMe that will log in to the AIM Servers or Google or Jabber depending on your Jabber ID)
The other Text field may be filled in (If your Address Book has your Details)
With the Jabber option some other fields appear to confirm the Server name (usually the bit after the @ symbol) and the Port (And if SSL is used)
Make any changes required based on the info you have. (the most common default for Jabber servers is for port 5223 and SSL On
GoogleTalk does not follow the same Name convention for it's server name so it is a standalone option and the server and port as handled by the iChat Software.
Your ID though must be as it it is shown when you log in to the web Mail Page (As in either [email protected] or [email protected])

Please, if posting Logs, do not post any Log info after the line "Binary Images for iChat"

Is your phone signed into an old iCloud ID ("email address") and you need to change it to your current ID? Is so, there is a way around this.
Otherwise, you can either try resetting your password at https://iforgot.apple.com or by contacting Apple for assistance by going to https://expresslane.apple.com, then click More Products and Services>Apple ID>Other Apple ID Topics>Lost or forgotten Apple ID password, or you can back up your phone to your computer instead. To do this, connect your phone to your computer, open iTunes and go to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases. Then go to File>Devices>Back Up.

How, when I sign out of Hotmail (MSN), sign back in with a different account, and click on Hotmail, can I get it to open in the same tab (or at least same window) instead of in a new window?

Under options I've checked "Open new windows in a new tab instead." Yet often when I must sign back into Hotmail, it opens in a new window. I would prefer that it open in the MSN sign-in tab or at least in the same window, but am not given a choice. If there is no way to control that, can I move tabs from one window to another window?

Thanks. I read the article but don't understand whether or not I can change the preference with regard to Hotmail.

How can I sign into iMessage with a different Apple ID?

I setup iOS5 and got it running. I used all my existing AppleID info.
Once it was running I decided to do some personal housekeeping and went to AppleID.Apple.com to clean up my various emails and to set my appleid to a email address that I actually am using.
I made the change and I was able to update to the new main ID in facetime but I can't login to iMessage anymore. It just keeps asking for the password to my old AppleID and won't allow me to put in the new ID.
How do I get iOS5 to forget the old iMessage ID?
Any advice would be great!
(I must add: This has been the MOST problematic update I've ever done with Apple - I had difficulties with my iPad2, iPhone 3Gs AND my AppleTV Gen2)

Go to Settings>iCloud and change the email address. You can change the password there, too.
It took me some time to find it, too, but they seem to be two names for the same function.

Signing into creative cloud with a different account?

I was previously signed into creative cloud under another ID, I do not have access to that account/email anymore. I'm attempting to log in with another ID and it doesn't give me an option to sign in with a different account. I've even uninstalled and re-installed several times. Help.

Lindsay.havens1 where are you choosing to log out? I would recommend going to your Creative Cloud Desktop application and signing out in the preferences. They can be located in the top right hand corner under the gear icon.

I have signed in iCloud and Apple Id with two different accounts and forgot the password of iCloud's account so what should I do?

I have signed in iCloud and Apple Id with two different accounts on my Iphone 4S and forgot the password of iCloud's account and I am unable to reset the password of it,so what should I do?

iCloud: Change your iCloud password
If you forgot your Apple ID password - Apple Support
Apple ID: Contacting Apple for help with Apple ID account security - Apple Support
A forgotten iCloud password as above can go to http://iforgot.apple.com and sign in with the same ID they use for iCloud to enter the password reset process.

Every ten seconds my iPhone 6 asks me to sign into iCloud with an old id...passwords no longer work. Every 10 seconds! Help

Every 10 seconds my iPhone 6 prompts me to sign into iCloud with an old id that I have updated. Can't use old passwords...can't figure how to change settings to change to my new id. Very annoying....can anyone help?

So, if you changed your Apple ID to a new email address, but did not sign out of iCloud before doing so, you need to do the following:
1.     Go to Manage your Apple ID and change your Apple ID back to the old email address. This is temporary. Do NOT verify it, do NOT change the password: Apple - My Apple ID
2.     Go to Settings>iCloud on your device and scroll to the bottom, and click on Sign Out. When it asks for the password, type in your current Apple ID password
3.     Go back to Manage your Apple ID, and sign in with the old ID and current password and EDIT your Apple ID back to the new email address. You may have to verify it again
4.     Go back to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your new Apple ID

What IP does your iPad show as having?
Try a reset. Press & hold the Power and Home buttons together for 10+ seconds, ignoring the red power-off slider, until you see the Apple logo.
Some folks have discovered that changing their DNS service fixes FaceTime connection issues.
The ideal way is to configure your modem/router with DNS service, but often settings in System Preferences/Network on your Mac will override the router settings. Try either of these;
OpenDNS
208.67.222.222, 208.67.220.220
Google Public DNS
8.8.8.8. 8.8.4.4

What do you mean " back up my photos or Apps"?
The photo sync is one way - computer to ipad.
You can transfer itunes purchases. Without syncing: File>Transfer Purchases
Copy everything from your backup copy of your old computer to your new one.

Using the the same Library with 2 different accounts

Is it possible to use the same iTunes Library with two different accounts
Thanks
Bill

iTunes accounts or Windows accounts?
You can put an iTunes library in a shared location and have two different Windows accounts connected to it. This works fine as long as you don't try to use fast user switching and leave iTunes open in the other account.
Managing purchases and application updates with multiple IDs is slightly more complex than using a single ID as you need to actively sign out of one ID and into the other, but it is certainly possible.

I have the same question Why the iCloud app is not in my system preferences?
You need OS X 10.7.4 or higher to have iCloud in System Preferences.

My Ipod got stolen how can a find it?
Go to icloud.com on your computer and sign into your iCloud account, as discussed here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mmfc0f2442. Note: you have to have enabled Find My iPod before it was lost, and it has to be on with a connection to the internet with your settings unchanged in order to track it.

How to download an app *not* from icloud that has been downloaded before with a different account?

Greetings,
If an app has been downloaded before even with an account other than the one I am signed in with, it shows the cloud icon and asks me for the password of the other account.
How do I download it with the account I am currently logged in with?
Thanks

"I'm using the one on the computer, not the device."
Well I said this is happening on an iPad. Reread what is happening from the beginning of the thread, and tell me if the instructions are correct for the iPad. Are you prompted for passwords from a different account that previously downloaded the app on the iPad?
Again
The app is Google Search.
It is free.
(I am always promoted for passwords for both free and paid apps.)
The device is an iPad. That is why I posted this is the iPad discussion.
I am logged in with my account, let's call it A. It shows account A next to Apple ID in the lower left of the Featured page.
When I search for Google Search, and click the cloud download icon next next to the Google Search app, it prompts me for the password to a different account. Let's call it B.
In the app store it shows a cloud download icon next to every app that has ever been downloaded on this iPad, regardless of whether it is account A, B, C, etc
Have you tried logging in with a different account to test this?
