HT2008 Ichat wont let me log in even when i create a new account

It tells me i have incorrect username/password even though there not? Help?

Hi,
Your Specs say OS X 10.7.5 which would be Lion which in turn would mean iChat 6.
This can use Jabber IDs such as GoogleTalk and Facebook "Chat" IDs as well as other Jabber IDs from other servers.
It can use AIM names and AIM valid Names normally issued from Apple (@mac.com, @me.com and @icloud.com IDs) although some ISPs also have agreements with AIM to recognise their email IDs as Valid AIM names.
iChat 6 can also login to the Yahoo service with a Yahoo name.
If you are using an Apple ID then the password needs to be 16 characters or less.
Apple can have longer passwords but the AIM servers can only cope with those up to 16 characters.

IChat wont let me log out of my AIM

I started a ichat, but i dont want to use AIM. i want to create a new account, but i cant figure out how to log out of AIM. I feel really stupid for asking, but please helpQ

Hi,
Welcome to the  Discussions
iChat 5 that you are using allows you to have several Buddy Lists open at once.
Lets talk about Logging out of one first.
You can do this two or three ways.
1) Go to the iChat Menu > Accounts and select the Account/Screen Name.
This will remove the tick next to the Name and log it out.
2) You can also go to the iChat Menu > Preferences > Accounts and un-tick the option box for "Use this Account"
3) Go to the Buddy List at the point that tells you your status Message.
There is an option in the drop down that appears to go Off-Line
Adding a new name.
You can get a new name by visiting the AIM web site or by going to iChat Menu > Preferences > Accounts and pressing the + symbol lower left.
If you then use the first drop down in iChat 5 to select AIM then press the Get an iChat Name button you are taken to the AIM registration Page.
If you choose @mac.com then that will take you to an Apple Registration page for an @mac.com name which is also free. (Mobileme also tends to lead to the same place)
MobileMe can also be signed up for on the Apple Web site but registration requires an active Credit card even for the Trail 60 days (you are charged automatically if you do not cancel in time and the trail name will not work afterwards.
Removing Accounts/Screen Names
In iChat Menu > Preferences > Accounts press the - button when the unwanted Screen Name is highlighted.

Can not retrieve my password using my email address nor birthday as security question, can not access my purchases to update them even if I creat a new account with same email address, what can I do?

Has anyone had an issue with password and not been able to retrieve it using email nor answering security questions? This is my case, I tred to do both, I do not get any email from Itunes to let me know how to do. If I try to reset it using my security question, which was my birthday, does not work either. I believe someone changed everything for me and I do not know what to do because in oder to update all my purchases I need my original account. I just created one using same ID and e-mail address, all successful, but it does not mean that I'm able to retrieve all my prurchases because it's a new account...Please, any idea, I appreciate your comments and/or feedback, Thanks!!!

Content and Apple IDs -
Content is forever tied to the Apple ID that bought it. Apple does not transfer content from one Apple ID to another. Apple does not merge Apple IDs. You will never be able to access your content bought with one Apple ID with a new Apple ID.

If it says your billing info is wrong that means that your credit card issuer is refusing to approve your account. You will have to solve the problem with your bank or credit card company.

Please help! Nothing will download and i have a loading bar on start up!!!
The mac hasn't ever given me any problems, it has been since plugging my new iphone 4s into it,
As i havent had internet at my home for quite some time i dont know whether the fact the iphone was at a much newer version than the mac it confused itself????? help me please!?

Hi there,
If you go to the Apple equivalent of: Appdata\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPhone Software Updates (sorry am a mere PC user )
If there is a file titled iphone1,22.1_5F136Restore then try deleting it and then running iTunes without your iPhone attached.
Go to the menu and select Help/Software Updates which should then notify you that there are updates and allow you to download them in advance of restoring.
Hopefully this will download the update. Once completed attach the iPhone and restore.
Hopefully this might sort your issue out.
Ciao

I accidentally downloaded my bookmarks from chrome but now firefox wont let me log off of my twitter account, how do i fix it??

i just downloaded firefox and it wont let me log off my twitter. i did the 'automatically download bookmarks from chrome' option but i deleted them afterwards. tumblr and twitter were the only sites that already had me signed in when i visited them but tumblr let me sign out. everytime i try to log out of twitter it takes me to the usual screen they show when you log out (a promotion for the twitter app for mobile phones) but the little button at the top that tells you to sign in isnt there, instead it has the button for you to write a new tweet and it keeps my twitters background. since i just downloaded it i dont have any extensions or add ons and my cache is empty so i honestly dont know what to do. i tried troubleshooting but it didnt work and im not really good with coding, like once you tell me what to do i can do it, but i cant do it on my own, so i dont know if the file was like corrupted when i downloaded it or something...

Click the Orange Firefox button in the upper left hand corner, then hover over the arrow to the right of "History". Go to "Clear Recent History", and clear the following:
Time Range: Everything
Under Details check the following:
Cache
Cookies
Active Logins
Offline Website Data
Uncheck everything else. Click "Clear Now", then restart Firefox.

You have to respond to the verification email that Apple should have sent to you by clicking the Verify Now link. Make sure you check the email address you used to set up your iCloud account. This would not normally be an @icloud.com email address. Also make sure you check the spam/junk folder as well as the inbox. If it isn't there, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage your Apple ID, sign in, click on Name, ID and Email addresses on the left, then to the right click Resend under your Primary Email Address to resend the verification email.

I changed my Apple ID two weeks ago and I Accidently forgot to sign out of my iCloud on my iPhone 5C. now it wont let me change the iCloud ID to match my new Apple ID. How do I change my iCloud ID even though it is asking for the old ID?

If the old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, temporarily recreate the old ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iPhone when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

Game center wont let me log in and keeps starting itself whenever i try to play chess

game center wont let me log in with my apple id, and it also starts itself whenever i click on anything in chess, so i cant play at all, it is really frustrating, and i cant figure out how to turn game center off, or make it behave.

the force quit option doesnt come up for them, so i tried quitting them in the terminal, and its still doing it

When updating my Apps on my IPhone, it tells me my password is incorrect and wont let me log in. I came to this site and redid my password, so I know its right (as I had to put it in here to get into this forum) and it still tells me its wrong.

When I go to updaye my apps on my IPhone it tells me my passowrd is incorrect and wont let me log in. I changed my passowrd on this site just to be sure I had it correct and it still wont let me log in and still tells me it is incorrect. What can I do?

Updating your Apps is different from the Support Communities and use different passwords. Your best bet is to start with the support links here: http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/account/ If one of those suggestions doesn't work, then hit the "Contact Support" link from the list to the left for additional options.

I have been trying to get my daughter's iPod Facetime to work. But when we log on it won't let us. When we put in our ID and password it attempts to verify but fails and when we have create a new account and had confirmation email it still wont verify???

Blackberry app world wont let me log in!

I have had lots of trouble with my blackberry app world, at first it wouldn't let me log in and then it crashed so i deleted it and re installed it and made a new account now it wont let me log in again! its really bugging me and would like some help with it please, thanks :-)

Again, with vagueness, you leave me to guess...fortunately, you were close..so my guess is thus:
KB25882 "An error has occurred. Please try again later" is displayed when the user attempts to login to BlackBerry App World
Hopefully there is something useful there.
Good luck and let us know!

Hello there stidhambr15,
I was researching the issue you are having and recommend a couple of things. First it might be a good idea to reset the device following iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting found here http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
Resetting your device
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If that doesn't quite get the device going again, I recommend restoring the device.
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1414
Might even be a good idea to turn off the phone, reseat the SIM card, and turn it back on.
