How to sign into another AIM account?

I must be missing something obvious, I can't find how to switch AIM accounts in iChat and I can't find the instructions on the Apple support pages.
I have ichat 4 with Leopard and when I launch it signs into one of my AIM accounts automatically. The other AIM accounts are listed in the preferences under Accounts. However, I can't figure out how to sign into one of the other accounts.
Can anyone tell me where/how to switch?
Thanks and happy holiday.

Hi,
If in iChat Menu > Preferences > Accounts you list several Accounts/Screen Names then the pane on the right when the Account Info tab is highlighted will have a Box to say "Use this Account".
This will then log those Accounts in to the relevant Servers at Launch (But read below).
In the General Section of the Preferences you can set whether iChat Logs Accounts in at Launch or not.
If you have more than one Buddy List open you can "Hide" the one you don't want by using the Red Button to left of the Window. This will not Quit iChat nor will it Log you out of that Screen Name.
NOTE: If you Quit iChat with Buddy List Hidden it will Remember this as the Window Position - the same as if you move a Buddy List and Quit iChat - It will be in the same place you left it.
Use the Window Menu to bring On-line Accounts listed Buddy Lists back into view.

What is the precise wording of the error message that occurs on the old iPhone when attempting to do a backup?
Are you attempting to backup via iTunes on the computer or iCloud?

Sign out of one itunes account and sign into another seperate account on same macbook. Cannot access itunes library for 2nd account

Sign out of one itunes account and sign into another seperate itunes account on same macbook. Cannot access itunes library for 2nd account. How do I do this?

iTunes account is not the same as iTunes library.
iTunes account is what you use to purchase from iTunes.
iTunes library is what is on your computer.
You can have items from multiple iTunes accounts in one iTunes library.

I am trying to sign into my AIM account and it kicking back incorrect password?

I Keep trying to sign in to my AIM account and it keeps kicking back incorrect password?

After resetting your password you might then need to log out of your account on your device by phone on your id in Settings > Store (Settings > iTunes & App Stores if it's on iOS 6) and then log back in so as to 'refresh' the account on it
If that doesn't fix it then you might need to contact iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

Can't sign into my AIM account

I just credited a $50 gift card to my AOL account, tried to buy an album, and it prompted me for my AOL account and password. Typed them in and... apparently they don't work any more. Tried multiple times with no success... Did I just get robbed of $50?
I have not forgotten my password/account name. I can sign onto AIM just fine. It's just in iTunes that I'm having a problem.

I was having the same problem.. I used my Aim email address to access iTunes.. but when i did it said that my AOL account was disabled. and i had to make a new apple ID which was fine.. but when i tried to do that like 50 times it kept saying it was not valid..
Anyway this might sound silly.. but i wasnt logged on to my AIM.. and when i did , i was able to access itunes and buy songs.. not sure if this would help you but it helped me..
good luck

If I switch my installed PS6, Illustrator and InDesign over to the Cloud, will I have to pay monthly even though I already purchased the programs? And will I then be able to use the program on another computer when I sign into my adobe account?

If I switch my installed PS6, Illustrator and InDesign over to the Cloud (from an installed program with the code, like Adobe used to do it), will I have to pay monthly even though I already purchased the programs? And will I then be able to use the program on another computer when I sign into my adobe account? I know how to switch it over, I just want to make sure I won't also have to pay monthly even though it's already been purchased.

Your purchase of licensed version of Adobe applications does apply to CC subscriptions. If you subscribe you will pay for the subscription on whatever periodic basis you choose (monthly versus annually).

How can i import contacts from another AIM account to this new one

If you reference my last ichat question, you will see that I have had serious problems and had to create a new account.
How can I import contacts from another AIM account to this new one??

Hi,
Use AIM for Mac and use the Export and Import features.
Other than that it is a question on making sure every Single Buddy has more than just their Screen name in the IChat Address Card so it is added to the Address Book and dragging them back from there

I have signed into a new account on my itunes on my computer. How do I get the music from the new account to be displayed in my library, because I can only see the old accounts music.

I have signed into a new account on my itunes on my windows computer. How do I get the music from the new account to be displayed in my library if only the old account's music is showing up?

You can transfer the music purchased from iTunes Store to the computer but not music acquired somewhere else.
Syncing is one way street, computer to iPhone. You have to use 3rd party tool to transfer music not from iTunes Store to the computer.

Your phone connected, iTunes running, under the "Apps" tab, you've selected this app to install on your phone, correct? Hit the "Apply/Sync" button, lower right on the Apps tab, what happens?

I can't sign into my Amazon account from my IPad. Everything else works. Icahn sign into my account using my desktop computer. Anyone have a clue what' going on or how to fix it?

I suddenly can' sign into my Amazon account. Everything else is okay. I can sign in on my desktop, but not my iPad. Anyone ever had this issue? How can I fix it?

To get rid of "pop-up ads and other crap on my computer when I am on the internet", click on Safari in the Menu bar, and select Preferences. Next select Extensions. Delete all of them. Restart Safari.
The first step in addressing the black screen is an SMC reset.
Shut down the computer.
Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
Press the power button to turn on the computer.
Note: The LED on the MagSafe power adapter may change states or temporarily turn off when you reset the SMC.
