HT2515 I have iChat on an iBook G4, and I think it is a different way to make an account. Can someone tell me how to make an iChat account on an iBook G4??
Help!!
Hi,
From iChat 3 to iChat 6 and then Messages the basics have remained the same.
I have a G4 tower and it came with OX 10.2 and soon after that iChat was released in it's AV form (iChat2)
The Tower can run everything up to Leopard (OS X 10.5.8) and therefore iChat 4.0.9.
You haven't actually said which version you are running. (OS or iChat)
In the Applications folder you have highlight the app and then do a Get Info (Apple key + i key together ( or ⌘ + i) )
This will tell you the version of iChat you have.
If it is iChat 3 or 4 it will be able to join the AIM and the Jabber services.
As Starting point you can register for AIM names here.
You have to enter a real First and Last name and then Test a Screen Name and add and confirm a Password.
You will need to use a recovery email and list answers to Security questions for Password Recovery and the like.
Apple Isssued IDs can also be be valid AIM names but due to recent changes in Lion (iChat 6) and Messages there can be issues with using them in earlier versions.
If you have an @mac.com ID this will work in any version of iChat and Messages providing your password is 16 characters or Less (An AIM server limit)
In IChat 6 and Messages the iCloud Issued IDs are held on a different server and as a Check the application logs into AIM and to Apple. The login to Apple then lets AIM "read" the password.
These are the IDs ending in @me.com and @icloud.com (these will not work in iChat 5 or earlier)
SInce iChat 3 you can also use Jabber IDs.
GoogleMail IDs that have had the Talk option enabled (In Products) can be used as a Jabber ID (referred to as Google talk)
Facebook IDs that have had "Chat" enabled are also valid IDs
There are many other Jabber servers around the world.
These are an interlinked network of Private and Public servers.
Since iChat 4 the Adding of Googletalk IDs has had it's own selection (it is due to Google not following a general rule of thumb over server names)
Once you have an ID or screen name you want to set up then you need to do the following.
Open iChat.
Go to the iChat Menu > Preferences > Accounts
At the bottom of the list on the left click the + icon
In the new pane click the top item to show the drop down options.
Broadly speacking they are in two groups ("AIM" and "Jabber")
The AIM subset will likely offer you @mac.com, MobileMe and AIM
The Jabber Subset should offer Jabber and possibly Google depending on Version.
The MobileMe option will not work for @me.com addresses as these have moved server for Verification of the password.
As I said above the @me.com name and the @icloud.com names will not work in iChat 3, 4, or 5)
The @mac.com option should still work but if it does not (and your password is 16 characters or less) use the AIM option but enter the ID in full.
For Jabber IDs use the Jabber option.
In iChat 3 you need to use this for the GoogleTalk option.
Once you have clicked the Done button and the Buddy list has appeared for a Jabber list go to the server settings tab
Some Jabber servers use SSL (It will automaticaly change to port 5223)
Others do not (port 5222)
In iChat 3 change the Google Server name to talk.google.com
Summary
Get an Screen Name (AIM) of Jabber ID
Open the app and go to the Accounst part of the Preferences
Click the + icon
In the new pane select the most suitable option in the top item drop down.
Change server settings on Jabber accounts if required.

You made a purchase and exhausted the credit on your card before it processed. All purchases are final. Contact iTunes Store support. You need to settle up before you can purchase or download anything else.

Can someone tell me how i sync my ipod on my new computer. i have authorised the computer but i can not find where to sync it. i thought Apple was meant to be easy
Hi Richail,
Once you have selected your sync options in iTunes, such as what music or videos you want to transfer, the Apply button should be in the bottom right hand corner of the window. For more information on syncing iOS devices, you may find the following article helpful:

I forgot the passcode to turn off restrictions. I have restored my iPad back to the factory settings and then synced it with the latest backup. The restrictions are still on and it is asking for the passcode. Can someone tell me how to get that off.
The only option is to wipe the device clean and restore it to factory settings. Hope you have a backup.
Follow the instructions in iOS: How to back up your data and set up your device as a new device http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137 to restore the device to factory settings.
Once you have setup the device as a new one, you can then sync it back with your iTunes account and all your music, apps, contacts and any other content sync'ed with iTunes will be loaded on the device. Any content that is stored only on the device and not sync'ed with iTunes, like app logins or data, will be lost during this process. Be forewarned that this is a long process and can take a couple of hours or more to complete. This can be painful, but it is necessarily so to prevent users from working around the security settings. After the restore is complete, you can setup a new Restrictions passcode. Make a note of the passcode to avoid this situation in future.

Can someone tell me how to access Illustrator CC on the cloud. I currently have CC 2014 but I do not want to use it since it is extremely slow for me.
The Cloud is a delivery process... you still install the program(s) on your computer, and then pay a subscription fee to use the program(s)

I have just changed my ISP and they have informed me that i have to change the IP address on my time capsule. Please can someone tell me how todo this? Thanks
This should really be unnecessary but anyway..
If you mean the internal IP of the TC, the it can be changed by changing the dhcp settings.. which is weird.
It looks a bit different in the v6 utility but is easy to do..
See the DHCP beginning address is split into sections.. change the front section from 10.0 to 192.168
Then update the TC.. then you will need to change everything on the network as the IP will need to change.. I recommend you simply turn everything off and then on again in correct order.. modem.. TC.. clients. 2min gap. -
