How to make an account in iChat with Apple ID but no .mac?

Hi everyone,
my Apple ID is my email adress but not ending with @mac.com or @me.com. How can I make an account in iChat with my Apple ID without making an extra ID with an @mac.com name?
Thanks

Hi,
An Apple ID that you may use for Logging in to Discussions to Post and may also link to your iTunes account and the Apple Store purchases is not the same as an Account/Screen Name for iChat.
@mac.com names were at one time given out when you purchased the .mac service (predecessor to MobileMe).
However trial versions on .mac allowed the name to work in iChat after the trial was up (As well as Lapsed Paid for ones)
The Email services stopped at the end of the trial or if you stopped paying for the service.
However when MobileMe started and replaced .Mac people could elect to keep their @Mac.com names
Therefore @mac.com name may or may not be valid email addresses.
Since then Apple have allowed new @mac.com names to be created to use as free iChat names (not valid Email Addresses)
Apple names ending @mac.com and @Me.com (MobileMe) are valid AIM screen Names in iChat. (Agreement between Apple an AIM)
(MobileMe is free during the trial period but requires Credit Card up front and Active discontinuation before the Trial is up and also does not work after the Trial is cancelled)
You can also Use AIM names Register here
These tend to not have any @something.com suffixes.
You can also use any GoogleMail ID if you enable Talk on your Google account.
Using a third Party Jabber app you can register a Jabber ID (Also looks like a email address) as most Jabber servers doe not have Web Browser accessible registration pages.
Summary.
An Apple ID created to Login into Discussions is unlikely to be linked to iChat.
(it can be done as you say with @Mac.com or @Me.com names)
An Apple ID can be linked to iTunes and for making On-line Store purchases.
There are options to creating an iChat ID.
AIM would most likely suit you needs of not having an @mac.com or @me.com suffix
Jabber names look like Email Addresses but rarely work as such with the exception of GoogleTlak/GoogleMail IDs
NOTES:-
A GoogleTalk or Jabber ID can add Jabber or GoogleTalk Buddies but not those that Login to AIM.
A Valid AIM Screen Name can not have Jabber/GoogleTalk Buddies added to it.
An AIM valid Screen name could be from AIM or Apple (@mac.com or @me.com) or from any other ISP AIM has an Agreement with for using their Email Address.
This last part means you may see Buddy's screen Names that have other @ type suffixes
In fact the AIM Registration page allows you to use any Email as the Screen Name (I have seen a Hotmail one used)
This means as both AIM and Jabber use names that end @server(mail or otherwise).com/net/whatever as there can be some confusion when adding Buddies to a Buddy List.
I hope I have been clear enough.

How to use two accounts in ichat?

How to use two accounts in ichat? Is it possible?
Currently I am using an account of Gmail but I want to add another account [email protected] (it is also an account of Gmail).

You can define one as a "Before" or "After" method if that is usable for you. (defined in tab Methods for Activity steps)
Otherwise there is also the step flag "Advance with dialog" (tab Details on Activity steps, but the tab it is found on depends on your version) which allows one user to seamlessly execute two consecutive tasks.
So depending on your real need there may be several options available. If all that is needed is that the same user can execute the two tasks then Advance with Dialog is perhaps the best choice. If the user then cancels execution of the second activity the work item is available for execution. If you define an After method and the user cancels execution the work item has still been completed since its (main) method has been completed.

How to make every account in the system login automatically?

How to make every account in the system login automatically when Mac OS X startup?
Thanks!

I can see one way to do it. You'll need to install a script in each user account, and have it set as a login item for each user. Let's imagine you have three user accounts. Each user in Mac OS X has a UID number. Normally your first user has the UID of 501, the second one will be 502 and so on...
You can determine the UID by running the following AppleScript while logged in on each user:
do shell script ("ID")
This'll return a long block of text, but right at the start you'll see the UID number. Let's assume your three users have the UIDs 501, 502 and 503. We begin with 501.
Create the following script and save it as an application while logged in as 501. Note that the password you're entering is the password for UID 502. Also note that the forum system is creating line breaks where there shouldn't be any. The long "do shell script" line should be one line.
delay 5 --This delay allows time for login to complete, but it may not be necessary.
try
do shell script "/System/Library/CoreServices/Menu\\ Extras/User.menu/Contents/Resources/CGSession -switchToUserID 502"
delay 5 --This delay could be shorter or longer, depending on how fast your machine is.
tell application "System Events"
keystroke "password for 502" --the password for UID 502
keystroke return
delay 1
end tell
on error
display dialog "Unable to switch user."
end try
Open System Preferences, go to Accounts, click "login items" and drag your script (saved as an application) to the login items window.
You basically repeat this process for each user account, modifying the script so it switches to the next user.
This isn't ideal, because your passwords will be stored in the scripts, and each user could open the scripts and learn the passwords of the other users on that machine.
I picked some of this up from a discussion over at the Macworld forums:

How to make On Account Payment

Hi all,
How to make On Account Payment.
What is the difference between On Account Payment and Down Payment
Thanks

Hi Siva,
Normall on account payment is a payment which is not against any invoice/bill.
In SAP, we take such scenarios throught the down payment cycle. Downpayment is nothing but advance issued to a vendor which is not against any invoice/bill.
So we can say that on account payment in SAP is handled through Down payment (advance).
Tcodes wrt vendors:
F-47 - Request
F-48 - Down Payment
Tcodes wrt customers:
F-37 - Request
F-29 - Down Payment
Regards,
Kiran

Hyperlinks can be of several types. What are you linking to? Exactly what
application did you test the hyperlinks with on the Mac? What application
did you use to create the hyperlinks?

How to make pdf file auto open with adobe reader after downloaded

how to make pdf file auto open with adobe reader after downloaded

I note from your system details that you have the plugin for adobe pdf s so I would have expected the files should open in firefox '''without''' you needing to explicitly download them.
Once the files are open in firefox, you will also get the option to save them permanently to a location on your computer. If you wish I suppose you could set the file type pdf to be associated with and be opened by firefox instead of with the Adobe Acrobat Reader, but that would just seem to be an additional complexity.

How to make a list item field with DATE data type?

I have a column with DATE data type. Using forms 6i I want to generate a poplist list item field with this column while the value of the elements in the list to will be day names like SATURDAY,SUNDAY,MONDAY. if we change the data type from date to char, it will work properly but now with DATE data type behind it, it gives the following error message
"FRM-32082: Invalid value for given item type.
List WEEKREST
Item: WEEKREST
Block: EMPRESTS
Form: MODULE3
FRM-30085: Unable to adjust form for output."
Using forms 6i how to make a list item field with DATE data type which can hold day names?

Set your date column as a hidden (non-displayed) field. Create your list item with the varchar2 day names. Create the list item as a non-base-table field that accepts the text values of day names. On that field, create a when-validate-item trigger that translates the text into a real date, which it then uses to set the value of the actual base-table item.

How to make the mobile application work with firewall and anti-virus ON

Hi,
I keep on receiving internal processing error when i try to login sap mobile solution 1.3.0 on my ipad and i was provided a solution, that is to turn off my firewall and antivirus. I works by turn off both of it but i cant possible turn of the firewall and antivirus on the server.
Can anyone guide me how to make the mobile application work with firewall and anti-virus ON
Thank you

Dear Rajesh,
Create a policy in your fire wall to allow the port to send and receive data.
I believe the port for the mobile should be port 8080 and 8443.
And your license server port 30000 and 30001

How can I make a graphic (scatter chart) with 1 "y", but multiple "x" (to make a multiple linear regression)?

how can I make a graphic (scatter chart) with 1 "y", but multiple "x" (to make a multiple linear regression)?

Émilie,
The default for X-Y Charts is for X values not to be shared, so it's entirely possible for you to create X-Y pair sets that have common Y-values and independent X-values.
This answer assumes, as always, that I properly interpreted your problem statement. A linear fit line for each pair set should satisfy.

How to make "visa find resource" working with Agilent device

I am trying to use Agilent 82357B GPIB device with LabVIEW for instrument control.
I have checked:
1.       NI-VISA (ver 5.1.1) is the primary visa by checking visa.dll properties under windows\system32 folder
2.       Enable NIVISATulip.dll in NI Max Explorer
3.       Enable the Agilent libraries to work with NI 488.2 in Agilent IO library (ver 16).
I am able to communicate with the instrument in Max Explorer and talk to the instrument in LabVIEW with VISA write for almost all commands.
But I can NOT make one particular visa function (Visa find resource) working with Agilent 82357B GPIB.
With NI USB GPIB device, the same code above can find attached instruments as below, where GPIB1 is the Agilent device and GPIB0 is the NI device.
I have no clue on how to make “visa find resource” working with Agilent device.
Please help.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Quick question. Did you also enable 488 support in Agilent?
If that does'not work try this. and well see if you found a bug
