HI,
This is fairly generic (for iChat 4) although some links are out of date.
Start at the second menu down that says "Get a Screen Name"
http://www.ralphjohns.co.uk/versions/ichatvers4/howtos4.html
iChat 5 is virtually no different
iChat 6 adds the Yahoo option.
As has been said more specific info from yourself will enable a much more detailed reponse from us.

    Hey there ipremacha,
    It sounds like you need to enable Text Message Forwarding on your iPhone for your iPad to send MMS/SMS messages through your phone.
    Connect your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Mac using Continuity
    Go to Messages > Text Message Forwarding, and enable the device(s) you would like to forward messages to.
    Your Mac, iPad, or iPod touch will display a code. Enter this code on your iPhone to verify the SMS feature.

    very good. You also had posted originally on the Using Apple Support Communities forum (dedicated to "How do I use this forum and find My Stuff in it?"). I had already asked our gracious Hosts to move it to Using iPhone where it now resides and will likely get more prompt attention. In the meantime, you might consider browsing and/or searching Using iPhone for similar issues as your own.
    best luck

    My iphone 6 Plus, ipad mini 2 and MBA on OSX Yosemite are all linked together under the same wireless network. However when i send a message on my Mac to my friend who is using an iphone, default sending is via imessage. How can i choose to send a text message instead of imessage? WHy? because sometimes my friend is not online. So i need to send a text message that my messages are received real time.

  • How to send a text message in lookout

    I am trying to send a text message as well with limited results.
    If my email address contains numbers in it I get an error on the send.
    SMTP error: No addresses in list were deliverable
    any ideas?

    I send email messages to an email address that is a phone number (example: [email protected]) It is received by the telephone as an SMS message no problems. Are you able to send messages with that mail object if the email address contains only letters? (this is what it sounds like what you are explaining, but I have not had this problem) Version of LookOut you are using?

  • How to send a text message from any computer?

    Is there a way to send a text message to my iphone from a computer that is connected to the Internet? If so, what web site is needed to do this?

    For Mac users running Leopard it can be done from iChat.
    Just choose FIle>Send SMS.
    If you don't have Leopard you can do it this way:

  • How to send the same message to two SMTP servers

    hi,
    I need to send a message to two different SMTP servers.
    I want to avoid the creation of new MimeMessage with a new Session.
    the only way I've found was to keep a reference to the Properties instance that was used in the Session creation, and modify its "mail.smtp.host" property.
    Is there another way? I must be missing something.
    thanks,
    ofer

    hi,
    I've already found the solution, so I'll post it here.
    first I'll explain the purpose:
    I needed to send the same message to a normal email server, and (for some of the recipients) to a special SMTP server that is on a different machine.
    the following code demonstrate the solution.
    thanks for your help.
    ofer
    ----------code---------------
    public class MultipleSendTest {
    private final static Session server1 = createSession("somesmtp_server.com");
    private final static Session _server2 = createSession("another_smtp_server.com");
    public static void main(String args[]) throws Exception {
    //create the message
    MimeMessage m = new MimeMessage(_server1);
    m.setText("body text");
    m.addRecipients(Message.RecipientType.TO, "[email protected]");
    m.setFrom(new InternetAddress("[email protected]"));
    //send
    send(m, _server1);
    send(m, _server2);
    private static void send(MimeMessage message, Session session) {
    //for logging only
    String host = session.getProperty("mail.smtp.host");
    try {
    Transport transport = session.getTransport("smtp");
    transport.connect();
    transport.sendMessage(message, message.getAllRecipients());
    System.out.println("sent to " + host);
    transport.close();
    } catch (MessagingException e) {
    System.out.println("failed to send to " + host);
    private static Session createSession(String host) {
    Properties properties = new Properties();
    properties.setProperty("mail.smtp.host", host);
    return Session.getInstance(properties);

  • How to send a text message from my desktop computer ?

    How can I send a text message from my desktop computer using Firefox ?

    There are many free web-to-phone text services, such as http://textem.net/
    If you intend to do a lot of this, it may be best to have some IM services that can communicate with cellphones (I use AIM).

  • I have no idea how to use the new "messages" instead of ichat

    i have recently got my first macbook. it isnt the first time i used one.  my friend has the macbook pro as well.  she has the "ichat" app for connecting with her friends.  but i have the "messages" app and i have no idea how to use it.. i cant find the buddy list to add friends... i dont know how to sign in to my account.. and when i try to send a message to someones id it says they arnt registered with ichat.. i have no idea what to do or where to begin!

    Hi Alexaaa,
    Open the Messages app and under the Messages menu go to Preferences>Accounts and set up your account using your AppleID and password.
    Once you have your account set up, then open the messages window. Next to the Search window you will see a little square with a pencil in it, click on that to start a new message. The cursor will be in the "To" line, and at the end of that line you will see a ". Click on that, and your contacts list will come up. Find the contact you want to send a message to, and select either their email or their phone number to send a message. Type in your message in the little message window at the bottom and press Enter to send.
    Hope this helps! Let us know if you have any other questions!
    Cheers,

  • I want to check all functions of PCI 6534.I have read the user manual..I have some memory related questions.​Please help me for that.

    I want to check all functions of PCI 6534.I have read the user manual..I have some memory related questions.Please help me for that.
    1.)If i am using the continuous output mode.and the size of generated data is less than 32 MB.If i want to preload the memory,what should i do?I want that first of all i load all my data to onboard memory & then i want to make start the transfer between 6534 & peripheral.Is it possible?As per me it should be.Plz tell me how should i do this?I think that in normal procedure the transfer between 6534-peripheral & outputting data from pc buffer to onboard memory works parallely.But i don't want this.Is it poss
    ible?
    (2).Similarly in finite input operation(pattern I/O) is it possible to preload the memory and then i read it?Because i think that the PC memory will be loaded automatically when 6534 acquires the data and then when we use DIO read vi the pc buffer data will be transferred to application buffer.If this is true,i do not want this.Is it possible?
    (3) One more question is there if i am using normal operation onboard memory will be used bydefault right?Now if i want to use DMA and if i have data of 512 bytes to acquire.How will it work and how should i do it?Please tell me the sequence of operations.As per my knowledge in normal DMA operation we have 32 Bytes FIFO is there so after acquisition of 32 bytes only i can read it.How it will known to me that 32 bytes acquisition is complete?Next,If i want to acquire each byte separately using DMA interrupts what should i do?Provide me the name of sourse from which i can get details about onboard memory & DMA process of 6534 specifically
    (4).In 6534 pattern Input mode,if i want to but only 10 bits of data.and i don't want to waste any data line what should i do?

    Hi Vishal,
    I'll try to answer your questions as best I can.
    1) It is definitely possible to preload data to the 32MB memory (per group) and start the acquisition after you have preloaded the memory. There are example programs on ni.com/support under Example Code for pattern generation and the 6534 that demonstrate which functions to use for this. Also, if your PC memory buffer is less than 32MB, it will automatically be loaded to the card. If you are in continuous mode however, you can choose to loop using the on-board memory or you can constantly be reading the PC memory buffer as you update it with your application environment.
    2) Yes, your data will automatically be loaded into the card's onboard memory. It will however be transferred as quickly as possible to the DMA FIFO on the card and then transferred to the PC memory buffer through DMA. It is not going to wait until the whole onboard memory is filled before it transfers. It will transfer throughout the acquisition process.
    3) Vishal, searching the example programs will give you many of the details of programming this type of application. I don't know you application software so I can't give you the exact functions but it is easiest to look at the examples on the net (or the shipping examples with your software). Now if you are acquiring 512 bytes of data, you will start to fill your onboard memory and at the same time, data will be sent to the DMA FIFO. When the FIFO is ready to send data to the PC memory buffer, it will (the exact algorithm is dependent on many things regarding how large the DMA packet is etc.).
    4) If I understand you correctly, you want to know if you waste the other 6 bits if you only need to acquire on 10 lines. The answer to this is Yes. Although you are only acquiring 10 bits, it is acquired as a complete word (16bits) and packed and sent using DMA. You application software (NI-DAQ driver) will filter out the last 6 bits of non-data.
    Hope that answers your questions. Once again, the example code on the NI site is a great place to start this type of project. Have a good day.

  • How to send a text message to more than one recipient?

    Hi There,
    I'm most likely missing something very obvious here, but I cannot figure out how to add a second (or more) recipient in the To: field for a text message. I can add, select the first recipient, delete etc. but can't figure out how to add another.
    Any help much appreciated,
