How do you get to the ichat menu?  I am a brand new mac user

So I accidently put the wrong user name when I was setting up ichat and I want to go back and change it with an AIM account, but I can't seem to figure out how to get into the menu of iChat.  Just got the computer last night

Hi,
This first  (From Defcom)
Click on iChat in the dock at the bottom of your desktop first.
This will either bring iChat to the Front or launch iChat is it is not open.
Then you should be able to do irvine91's stuff
Open iChat > In the Menu bar along the top of the screen click on iChat and then Preferences > Select the accounts tab and then you can use the plus and minus icons to add and remove new accounts.
Removing the incorrect one and adding a new Account with the correct info is probably easier than trying to edit the existing one that is set up at the moment.
IF the Existing one has Buddies added set up the new one then Select all the Buddies in the Current Buddy List and drag them to the new Buddy list.
Then you can delete the first one you set up (that is incorrect).
Presumably if you put in incorrect details it is not even able to Log-in and have not been able to add Buddies.

    In your printer settings, do you have WIRELESS SETUP or WIRELESS SETUP WIZARD?
    The SSID is the name of your network. When the printer searches for a network, it finds your SSID, and you choose it.

  • Qosmio X70-A-K2S - How do I get to the BIOS menu?

    Hello!
    I have a laptop Qosmio X70-A-K2S.
    I want to replace one of the hard drives on the SSD.
    How do I get to the BIOS menu?
    Recommendations from the user manual (reboot and release F2 for 1 sec.) do not help.
    I can not get any BIOS menu or BOOT menu.
    But easily fall into the recovery menu by pressing the 0.

    >Recommendations from the user manual (reboot and release F2 for 1 sec.) do not help
    Sure this is right is Win 8 preinstalled?
    Probably this is the reason why you cannot access the BIOS.
    The Windows 8 does not shut down the notebook by default but it perform hybrid shut down.
    This allows to boot the notebook much faster but as I said, it prevents accessing the BIOS.
    Take a look here how to perform shut down on Windows 8 preinstalled notebook:

  • How do you get to the "Multiple Item Information" window so I can click "Part of a compilation:?

    How do you get to the "Multiple Item Information" window so I can click "Part of a compilation"?  When I transfer a CD to iTunes, and the CD has ten tracks, it loads as ten different albums.  Also, once this happens, do I have to delete the album and start over or is there a way to merge the albums in iTunes?  Using iTunes 10.04.08.

    And you've made me remember that using the compilation flag may only work in iTunes if you go into the Songs view, then use View > Column Browser > Show Column Browser and then View > Column Browser > Group Compilations to make sure this line is ticked.
    It is also best if View > Column Browser > Use Album Artists is also ticked.

  • How do you get into the BIOS on a Satellite 320 CDS.

    Hi my name is steve I was wondering how do you get into the BIOS on a satellite 320 CDS. As this is my first format on a lap top. Done plenty on desktop computers just never laptops. As some fool tried to do it before me and distroyed it. Now the only thing that happens is after the toshiba logo disappears this message comes up, INVALID SYSTEM DISK, REPLACE THE DISK AND THEN PRESS ANY KEY. It use to run Windows 98 and it worked great for how old it is. Was hoping to put XP on it but its only got a small hard drive (4099mb). So will have to put 98 back on it till I get a bigger hard drive.Only need it to teach my daughter how to respect a laptop. I mainly want to get into the BIOS for format. Any instruction on how to get into the BIOS would be great, as I'm good from there. Thank you in advance for your help.

    Hi,
    I don't know the exact method for the Satellite 320 CDS.
    But most of the Toshiba notebooks use one of the following methods.
    If you see a message while booting "Press F2 to enter setup", do it and you get into BIOS.
    Or you have to press ESC while booting, then press F1 when prompted to and you are in the BIOS.
    Bye

  • HOW DO YOU GET TO THE RAID SETTINGS ON THIS THING (GT60 2O)???

    Dude... I been online for 40 minutes looking for instructions on how to get around this box. I can't find anything relevant, so I'm just gonna ask. How do you get to the settings for SUPER RAID 2? I can't find any information on it and now I'm really getting frustrated!! Any help would be appreciated.

    First go into your BIOS and set the controller to RAID instead of AHCI/IDE/whatever it is.
    You should then be able to use some key combination (such as ALT+H or whatever it is) to enter the Intel Raid ROM and setup the RAID in there.

  • TS1702 How do you get past the FAQ page on free music downloads??

    How do you get past the FAQ page on free music downloads??

    "BSOsoft".  You really ought to practice asking coherent questions.
    If I have downloaded the same app as you, I'd guess tapping the button called "Download All Pro - Click Here to Download" which is right at the top of the FAQ screen might be as good a guess as any.

    Normally, you just connect the monitor to the MacBook using a VGA adaptor that you can buy from an Apple Store.  Now try System Preferences > Displays > Detect Displays.  You should now be able to select a display mode for the monitor.  If it still doesn't work, then I'd check that everything is properly connected.  I've had problems with colours disappearing due to a faulty connection in the VGA adaptor.

  • How can I get EVERY music file on my iPod onto my new Mac, not just the songs purchased off of the iTunes store?

    So I've got an iPod classic with songs on it from the iTunes store, from CDs of my own, from free online playlists, etc. and when I plug it into my new Mac laptop the only songs that show up on iTunes are the ones I actually purchased in the iTunes store with my old computer (not a Mac). How can I copy ALL the music on my iPod onto my new Mac?

  • How do I get my iTunes library off old PC & on my new Mac

    Brand new Mac user--this is my second day. Have had an iPod Nano for about 8 months and want to move my iTunes Library to the new Mac and de-authorize (is that the right word?) the iTunes library on old PC once I pull everything off of it--it's going to be wiped and given to a charity!
    The songs on the iTunes library and the songs on iPod not all the same--there is only a subset of songs from the library on the iPod. Suggestions?

    You basically just have to transfer the iTunes folder from the PC to the Mac.
    Apple has some instruction for using your iPod as an external disk drive:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1329?viewlocale=en_US
    Or you can use file sharing if the Mac and PC are both connected to a network.
    There are also several sites on the web that have instructions for migrating, such as this one:
    http://www.tunequest.org/migrating-your-itunes-library-from-windows-to-mac/20061 105/
    And you should de-authorize the PC by choosing Deauthorize Computer from the Store menu.

    Yes 10.8.2 is the latest version of Mountain Lion. 10.7 was Lion and 10.6 was Snow Leopard.
