How to re-set ichat if 1st account setting was s=wrong?

Who can give a hand? I think it's simple for many of U but I am still green ...

Hi,
Jason has the basics
If I followed these steps then My Google Account would get deleted.
Bonjour is always there (it can only be turned "On" or "Off" by using the "Enable this Account" option on the account Info tab on the right - just visible in this pic).
As both the Jabber type IDs and some Vaild AIM names can use the @ symbol it is easy to set an email address as one account type or the other and then find it can not Login.
If adding a MobileMe (Ends @Me.com) you need to select the MobileMe option in the pane that appears when you press the + Button
Same for @Mac.com names. (select @Mac.com that is)
These are both Valid AIM Screen Names and will login to the AIM Servers (login.oscar.aol.com) and is not a mistake.
However Apple does allow these both to have Passwords longer than 16 characters.
Unfortunately the AIM Servers do not allow Passwords over this length and you get a message that the User Name or the password is "Wrong".
You have to Shorten the password.
You can also add Jabber IDs.
These come in the format or User Name and Server Name joined by the @ symbol making them look like Email address but they are not.
If you chose Jabber in the Add Account Pane and type in any old Email address the server name will be presumed to be the bit after the @ symbol
You can look in the server setting tab at this.
Lets say you had an Email address that was [email protected] and entered this as a Jabber account in iChat.
Then the Server setting tab would show you the name as NorthPoleEmailsAreUs.com (although it would use lower case - I just hope that is easier to read)
Obviously this is not a Jabber server (As well as being a ficticous Email server).
GoogleTalk is a Jabber server run by Google.
If you have such a Mail account then you can Enable Talk on your Account settings at Google then use your Email Address in iChat (you do have to enter it as it shows on the Google pages).
However it has a separate entry spot in the Add Pane as Google do not stick to the Naming Convention - so iChat does it for you (It uses talk.google.com and not gmail.com or googlemail.com).
If we have not covered your scenario then lets us know more details.

How to change the picture for guest account that was created by "find my mac"? Is it possible to change the photo?

I want to change the picture to my guest account that was created by "find my mac." I tried using the workspace type program but it did not recognize my guest account. I am not sure what to do and need some help. Thanks!

I don't think there is a straight-forward way to do this. However, if the guest account is bothering you, you can disable it from within the System Preferences.

How do I set up an ichat account?

how do I set up an i Chat accoiunt?

Hi,
You need a Screen Name or ID fro the service you want to join
iChat 6 (OS X 10.7.x) can do Jabber logins, AIM Logins and Yahoo ones.
AIM valid Scren Names include names registered at AIM and Apple IDs ending with @mac.com or with @me.com (these used to be MobileMe accounts but new ones are now iCloud ones)
Jabber valid names include any Facebook name (Chat has to be enabled at your Facebook settings), Google Mail IDs (Ending in @gmail.com or @googlemail.com) or any jabber name registered at a Jabber server.
IF you have started iChat already and clicked through the Start up Screen then you will then need to start/Launch iChat
Open the iChat Menu (The App Name in the menu bar is a drop down menu) > Preferences then Accounts
In the Accounts is a list.
It will already have Bonjour in it (Everyone gets this and it cannot be deleted)
Click the + button at the bottom
In th new panel click the top item and then chose the type of account you want to Add.
Fill in Details
Click Done.
A Buddy List will then launch and login.

How do i set up a second email account on my 1st generation ipad

I have an apple 1st generation ipad. How do I set up a second email account??? Please help

You need to ask your mail provider for the setup info. Usually it can be found on ther website in their help pages or the like for most email providers.
If its a known service like hotmail, or gmail, there are preset options for those that fill in the required server info.
If its a corporate email, the IT department should have this information.

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 do I log out of one account on iChat and into another?

I want to log out of AIM on ichat and into Skype, how do I do it?

Hi,
In iChat 3, 4 and 5 you can have multiple accounts set up in iChat > Preferences > Accounts.
In iChat 3 it will display one AIM type Name (@mac.com MobileMe or AIM Name) and one Jabber type plus the Bonjour Account if enabled (total of three Buddy Lists) as a Max.
iChat 4 and 5 can sign in (Log in) to as many accounts as you want to, be they ones that log in to the AIM service or ones that use Jabber.
Logging out can be done several ways.
1) iChat > Preferences > Accounts
Select the Account and then Deselect the "Use this Account" option.
2) In the iChat menu again > Accounts
Select any Ticked account and it will log out and remove the tick (Selecting it again toggle it "On" (logged in)
3) Click to highlight, bring to the Front any Buddy list
Click and hold the Status Message
Select Off Line
4) If you have enabled the Menu Bar iCon in the iChat > Preferences > General section then you can also use the Menu Bar icon menu once the Buddy list is the front window.
IF you want to use Skype and IChat at the same time this is possible (you just can't do a Video chat on both at the same time)
You can Quit any app from it's named Menu (i.e the iChat Menu > Quit)
Or Click and hold the DOCK Icon for the App and select Quit.
You cannot use iChat to connect to Skype.

You can not, all iCloud accounts are individual, account holders must at least 13 years old.

How do I set up family sharing if all my family members emails are already associated with my iTunes account?

I want to set up family sharing but it won't let me because all the emails are already associated with the one iTunes account we have. I am afraid to delete because my children use that email address for text messaging. How do I set up family sharing if all my family members emails are already associated with my iTunes account?

Hey Wendaroski,
I am not quite sure what you mean by "my family members emails are already associated with my iTunes account" but what you need for each family member is an Apple ID. Yours would be the one for your iTunes account.
If the other members of the family already have an Apple ID you can invite them to join the family group. If not they will need to create one, using their email address. This article shows how -

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Be well,

My iCloud account name was inputted incorrectly when my iPhone was set up. I made a new iCloud account but my phone still automatically loads the old and unusable iCloud account. How can I update my phone to load the new and correct account?

My iCloud account name was inputted incorrectly during initial phone set up. I created another iCloud account name but it is still the old and wrong iCloud account that automatically loads whenever I access the iCloud tab on my phone. How do I replace it my new and correct account name?

She won't after the change.
Note you can use the same Apple ID in
Settings > iTunes & App Store > Apple ID: > here to share purchased music, apps and books.
Other than that each of you should use your own Apple ID for iMessage, FaceTime, iCloud, Game Center, etc.

How do I set up my ICloud account when my Apple ID is not set up for ICloud?

You have to first create your account on an Apple device. You are getting this message because you are trying to create an iCloud account on a PC by signing with your Apple ID. You can only sign into an existing iCloud account on a PC. You first have to create your iCloud account on an iOS device (iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch) running iOS 5 or higher, or on a Mac running OS X Lion (10.7.5) or higher. After creating your account on one of these devices you will then be able to sign into the account using this ID on your PC.
