How Can I Set Up iChat in Tiger?

Hello. How can I set up iChat in OS X Tiger? I don't have a .Mac account, or a .Me account, but I do have an iCloud account and an Apple ID. How can I use these to set up iChat?

Hi, I'm not sure icloud account works with 10.4.11, but you can get a free AOL/AIM account that will work...

  • How can I set up my TC as an external hard drive only?

    How can I set up my TC as an external hard drive for my iMac and my MacBook?
    I baught it for the extra space but don't know how to use it. I just keeps on wanting to back up files.
    Help me please.

    Hi,
    Thank you for great advice re SuperDuper.
    You wasnt to know we didnt live in  USA.  We will try to get the full retail version of Leopard off the net.  We will also phone round the apple resellers.
    In the meantime, we are happy running Tiger with the knowledge that SuperDuper has cloned our hard drive in case of a disaster.
    SuperDuper recommended backing up the hard drive with a new user account if we were using filevault on the master account.  We backed up our hard drive without creating a new user with filevault as we could not read the pdf `Instuctions as preview was not responding.
    Is this copy safe to use as a bootable drive or should we copy our entire HD again using a new user account without filevault?

  • How can I set an event to repeat on a week day rather than a numerical day of each month?

    How can I set an event to repeat on a week day rather than a numerical day of each month? I see an option at the bottom of the repeat window .... but I cannot use it. Actually, when I try it freezes up my Calendar.

    These scrrenshots are from Snow Leopard - I would think that Lion wouldn't be too much different.

  • How can I set my WebI filters to Null and not Null

    Folks,
    I have created a report in WebI and now I am to set up some filters as Null and some Not Null.
    How can I set my WebI filters to Null and not Null?
    Regards,
    Bashir Awan

    Hi,
    As you said you could do it at the report level and also at the universe level.
    One more way is to create the filters in the universe levele and add them in thequery filter.
    Ex: in the filter you need to write :
    Column1 is null and and column 2 is not null etc.
    Hope this will help.
    If this did't  solve your problem then please explain it in detail.
    Cheers,

  • How can I set up Cinema Display as a main screen and leave my macbook pro as a second screen instead?

    How can I set up Cinema Display as a main screen and leave my macbook pro as a second screen instead?

    I learned that the Dock is positioned at the chosen edge of whatever Display is positioned farthest to that side.  E.g. for the Dock to be positioned on the right side of the Cinema Display (instead of the right side of the MacBook), the Cinema Display must be oriented (by dragging) to the right of the MacBook monitor on the "Arrangement" tab of the Displays Preference Panel.

  • I do not see where to enter IP addresses in the Open VPN setup. Also, how can I set it up so that I can choose different servers in the same way as I can currently choose them with my VPN app but for PPTP?

    I think I have it working on my iPhone 5. But, I do not see how I can control the exit point that I would like for the VPN. Are all the exit points shown in the VPN setting now going to work with Open VPN, or do they remain PPTP? If I am reading correctly, they look like they remain PPTP. If I cannot control the exit point for open VPN, which exit point is the default in the profile you provided me?I note that Open VPN Connect does not work with any of the new 64 bit devices like the iPhone 5S, the iPad Air, and the new iPad MIni. Is there any chance that you guys will come up with an update for your app so that open VPN can be made to work on all iOS devices? That would be nice, particularly if the Open VPN Connect app does not give me a choice of exit points.Thanks,
    I do not see where to enter IP addresses in the Open VPN setup. Also, how can I set it up so that I can choose different servers in the same way as I can currently choose them with my VPN app but for PPTP?
    Just a quick note to tell you that Open VPN has updated their app so that it is compatible with 64 bit ARM devices like the iPhone 5S, the iPad Air, and the iPad Mini Retina.That does not resolve the problem of how to easily choose among the various possibilities for the exit server. We need to find an easy way to choose.

    Thank you for trying the new Firefox. I'm sorry that you’re unhappy with the new design.
    I understand your frustration and surprise at the removal of these features but I can't undo these changes. I'm just a support volunteer and I do not work for Mozilla. But you can send any feedback about these changes to http://input.mozilla.org/feedback. Firefox developers collect data submitted through there then present it at the weekly Firefox meeting
    I recommend you try to adjust to 29 and see if you can't make it work for you before you downgrade to a less secure and soon outdated version of Firefox.
    Here are a few suggestions for restoring the old design. I hope you’ll find one that works for you:
    *Use the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/classicthemerestorer/ Classic Theme Restorer] to bring back the old design. Learn more here: [[How to make the new Firefox look like the old Firefox]]

  • I have an iPad with IMAP email accounts set up but I can find no "inbox, drafts, trash" folders anywhere, either on my ipad or desktop Mac.  How can I set them up?  They do not show on my MacMail preferences either and I can find no way to add them.

    I have an iPad with IMAP email accounts set up but can find no "inbox, drafts, trash" folders for each email account anywhere on my iPad or in Mac Mail.   How can I set them up? I can't find anyway to set them up anywhere.  Thanks

    Hello blu monkey,
    I found some resources that I think might help with the visibility of your IMAP email folders on your iPad and Mac.
    On your iPad, you may need to follow the steps in this article to make sure your folders are visible:
    iOS: If IMAP Mail folders are not visible
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1393
    On your Mac, I am not sure if you have the sidebar enabled, but you can enable it using the steps in the article below.  When this is showing, you should see your email account listed near the bottom with a triangle next to it.  When the triangle is pointing down, it should show your folders:
    Mail (Mountain Lion): Show or hide the sidebar

    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

    Yes, with the credentials of the account that the media/content was purchased with.

  • How can i set the alternating colors for a table rows

    Dear All,
    Please any one help me how can i set the Alternating colors for Table Rows.
    i created a theam there i set the background alternating color to brown and i set the table design properity to alternating. but it is not reflecting.

    Hi,
    The design property in Table properties should work for your requirement. Select "alternating" value for design.
    Please see the API below:
    design
    Determines the appearance of the table. The property design can take the following values and is represented by enumeration type WDTableDesign.
    alternating - The table rows are displayed alternately in a different color.
    standard - The table background has one color. The individual table rows are displayed with grid net lines.
    transparent - The table background is transparent. The individual table rows are displayed without grid net lines.
    Check whether you have changed the right property or not? Also table should contain more than one rows to test this scenario.
    Regards,
    Jaya.

  • How can I set up hotmail in the mail application

    Hi
    How can I set the mail application to include hotmail? I've been able to add it, but it doesn't sync read and unread messages. I know iPhones used to have the same problem, but after iOS5, there was an option to include mail from hotmail. Is there an option to include hotmail now in Mail, as I can't find it.
    Also, as I've just switched from Windows to Mac, is there a button on Mac for home and end like Windows has?
    Thanks

    Unfortunately hotmail requires you to pay a fee to have your e-mail go through a mail application, like Apple Mail. Contact their customer service to see about fees, as well as set up process.

  • How can I set download restrictions on a web page ?

    how can I set download restrictions on a web page ?
    I mean: to make a web site with text and pictures but in a way that the visitors cannot download the pictures or text ?
    Is it possible ?
    Thanks

    Freeway allows you to inject code into the HTML of the page. Upload the movie file to a folder on your server and reference it in the code.
    <script src="http://www.domain.com/Folder-Name/QT-JS.js" language="javascript"> </script>
    <script language="javascript">
    QT_WriteOBJECT('http://www.domain.com/Folder-Name/Movie.mp4' , '640', '496', '', 'AUTOPLAY', 'false', 'CONTROLLER', 'true', 'VOLUME', '50', 'KIOSKMODE', 'true', 'SCALE', 'Aspect') ;
    </script>
    If you are going to go this route it would be better to use HTML5 with flash fallback to cover all browsers and devices...
