How to change an old email in ichat

iam trying to change my old email in my ichat but i can not  change it because is asking me i need to call to my Provider to change my emaol and all my information i do not understand how i need  to fix it

Hi,
If you have an AIM login set up in iChat it could be in email format and in some cases actually be a working email.
For instance Apple IDs from MobileMe are working Email and Valid AIM Screen Names
In iChat 4, 5 and 6 if you get to the Add Account screen (iChat Preferences > Accounts use the Plus button) you can select @mac.com then hit the Get an iChat Account and get taken to the @mac.com registration page
These look like email but are not but are Apple IDs and Valid AIM Screen Names
You can also register any email you want at the AIM  registration page.
On the Jabber side of iChat the Jabber IDs you can register for are in the same format as email but rarely are.
The exception tends to be Googletalk names that are based on Googlemail names/IDs
As Eric says you can go to iChat Menu > Preferences > Accounts and highlight an account then press the minus Button to Delete it
(Then press the add Button and add a different ID/Name)
I have never seen any version of iChat tell me to contact my email name provider about changing it.
It can sometimes tell you that the Name and Password are incorrect.
Most often this happens with MobileMe and @mac.com names as they can have passwords created that are longer then the AIM servers allow.
If this was the message shorten your Password, both at the registration/account change point and in iChat to something that has no more than 16 characters.
Basically your question needs more info to be clearer.
What were you trying to do ?
What was the precise message ?  (A pic would be great.)

    You would have to change it back to your old email address in order to turn off "Find My iPhone" on your devices. After you changed it back to your old address and deactivated "Find My iPhone" (activation lock) you could change your Apple ID to your new address again. Now it should wok on all your devices.

    how can i change my old email address to my new email address need help please everything i try want work

    Go to Settings>Store>Apple ID, tap the ID shown, sign out, sign back in with the new ID.  However, app updates for your apps purchased with your older ID will always ask for the password for this ID.  (Apps are permanently tied to the Apple ID used to purchase them.)

  • How to remove the old email address that was hacked from my iCloud account when iCloud won't let me?

    How to remove the old email address that was hacked from my iCloud account when iCloud won't let me?
    Pretty much the the email that I used (but didn't verify) to create my iCloud account was hacked and now I can't remove it from my iCloud account due to the iCloud password also being changed by the same person and the fact I had "Find my iPhone" app on my phone also??? I had to change my iTunes email as well but that was far easier so yeah :S.
    Please help. I live in NZ, out in the country, so reception is rare and so is getting into the nearest town that has an Apple Store.
    Thanks

    If you truly change your existing Apple ID's email address to a new email address, follow these instructions: iOS 7: If you're asked for the password to your previous Apple ID when signing out of iCloud
    If you created a whole new Apple Account because you couldn't access the old one after being hacked, you will need to contact the Apple Account Security Team. Apple ID: Contacting Apple for help with Apple ID account security

Otherwise, delete the item you moved.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select

    from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

  • I need to know how to change the identity (email address) used for the iTunes store as I no longer use that email

    I need to know how to change the identity (email address) used for the iTunes store as I no longer use that email.

    Settings > iTunes & App store.
    Tap AppleID, sign out then sign back in.
    The Apple ID is right everywhere else. I've synced the phone. I've reset it in Settings on the phone. I've changed it at Apple.
    When you write, "I've changed it at Apple, this means you updated yoru old AppleID or you ceated a new AppleID?

  • How to change the incoming email font

    Hi,
    is there anybody able to tell me how to change the incoming email font?
    I have BB bold 9900. I was able to do it with my previous curve, but not with this one.
    Thanks

    Hi muttley and welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums!
    There is no option to change the incoming mail font. You can change the entire system font by going to Options>Display>Screen Display.
    Thanks.
