How do i log out of ichat

okay so what is tick and how do i get it?? I need to figure out how to log out of ichat... is there any way to log out of ichat without "tick"??

Hi,
It depends on what extactly you mean by Log Out.
Quitting iChat will Log Out all accounts that you have logged in.
Clicking where it says Available (Or Away and Selecting Off Line from that menu will log that account only Off Line.
Your AIM Accounts (Those that Login to AIM) can also be set to Invisible. You can see your Buddies ON Line but they cannot see you.
MORE.
iChat will Launch if you have the Computer ON and iChat unopened when someone sends you an IM.
This is because a support app called iChatAgent (Snow Leopard and Earlier) or IMAgent in Lion effectively "Listens" for such an event.
On you First Off Line IM from an AIM Buddy tyou will get an Accompanying IM from AIMSysMessage asking if you want to receive more.
Answering "No" will stop Off Line IMs (Those that come when you open the computer).
You can only turn this On again at AIM Settings  (You can use it to turn them Off if you are not sure - you need to Login there).
IN addition there is a setting in the iChat Menu > Preferences > General Setting that states about setting your Status to Off Line when you Quit iChat.
This tends to stop those IMs that launch iChat when you have the computer On.
Yet More.
You can Click and hold the iChat icon in the DOCK and select to set an Account Off Line there.
You can also do this in the iChat Menu > Accounts
If in the iChat Menu > Preferences > General Section you set it to Display the Menu Bar Status an Icon appears on the clock side of the Menu Bar and this is a drop Down menu as well.
If a Buddy List is the Front Window you can set Off line there as well.
Finally.
You can go to iChat Menu > Preferences > Accounts and untick (Deselect) the box that says "Use this Account" for any type of Buddy List and it will be logged out.
Jabber accounts
Basically you have to use a Third Party app and do a Service Discovery and find out if the Jabber server you are using supports Off Line IMs
If there is an option to Register for that you would be able to set that in the Third Party app to turn it Off or On.
Note
I may have forgotten a  method I don't use.

  • I created a new Apple ID for iCloud on my iPhone, but I can't seem to find a way to "sign out" or "log out" of that Apple ID (for iCloud) to sign in with another Apple ID. The only account login I could change was the Store. How do I "log out"

    I created a new Apple ID for iCloud on my iPhone, but I can't seem to find a way to "sign out" or "log out" of that Apple ID (for iCloud) to sign in with another Apple ID. The only account login I could change was the Store.
    How do I "log out" or "sign out" of iCloud on my iPhone? There is an option to delete the account, but I just want to log off. I want to keep the account name for future use.

    It looks like the article below has the information you are looking for.
    iCloud: Change iCloud feature settings
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2613
    Turn off iCloud completely
    Depending on whether you want to stop using iCloud on all or only some devices, do one or more of the following:
    On your iOS device’s Home screen, go to Settings > iCloud, then at the bottom of the screen, tap Delete Account.
    Note:   If you delete your iCloud account, iCloud will no longer back up your iOS data. You can still back up your device in iTunes (for more information, open iTunes and choose iTunes > Help). 
    On your Mac, open iCloud preferences, then click Sign Out.
    If your Mac has OS X v10.7.5 and you turn off iCloud, your calendar information and reminders aren’t stored locally in iCal. If you want to retain your calendar and reminder information, you need to back it up before turning off iCloud. For more information, see the Apple Support article iCloud: Calendar & reminder data removed from Calendar and Reminders or iCal when disabling iCloud Calendar.
    On your Windows computer, open the iCloud Control Panel, then click Sign Out.
    Note:   If you turned on automatic download of music, app, or book purchases (in iTunes preferences or in Settings on your iOS device), your iTunes purchases are still downloaded to your devices.
    Set up iCloud on your devices

  • I have 2 iphones, one for personal and one for business.  I need my phones not to sync otherwise they will both ring all the time.  How can I log out of my icloud and unsync my phones?

    I have 2 iphones, one for personal and one for business.  I need my phones not to sync otherwise they will both ring all the time.  How can I log out of my icloud and unsync my phones?

    Syncing your phones to the same iCloud account won't cause them to both ring all the time, it only puts the same contacts, calendars, and other synced data on the phone.  The phones will only ring with someone calls the number associated with the phone.
    If you want to stop using iCloud on one or both of the phones, go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, then choose Keep On My iPhone when prompted.  This will disconnect them from iCloud and keep a copy of the synced data on the phone.

    I just bought this ipad and cannot log out from icloud because i dont have the password.how can i log out from icloud?need help

    You need to return it to the seller and get your money back.  You cannot reset or use the device with another AppleID installed unless you know the password for that ID.
    If the device has been jailbroken, no one on here can give you any further help...the Terms of Use prohibit us from doing so.

    How do i log out off the app store as it has the wrong email and I can't do my updates as i don't know the password

    Go to Settings > iTunes & App Store, tap on the Apple ID, and choose 'Sign Out'.
    However, logging out of the iTunes & App Store won't change the Apple ID you need to use to update an app.  It only affects what Apple ID you're using to download a new app.
    Apps always have to be updated using the Apple ID that was used to download it originally.  Go to iforgot.apple.com to reset that password.  If you cannot do so, then contact Apple Account Security, or delete the app and redownload it using an Apple ID and Password that you know.

    Me and my friend mistakenly used the same email for both of our facetimes. We cant figure out how to logout to change one of them. How do i log out to change it? Thanks

    osp,
    Make sure FaceTime is turned "ON"    Click on FT preferences/ then click on ACCOUNT (where your e-mail is displayed)  You should see a number of options come up, inlcluding View Account, Sign Out, etc.  You should be able to mange your account from there.  I'm using an iMac 10.6.8 here, so I hope the steps I outlined are good for your situation.
