I added a password and email and it will not accept
and i have no clue how to do ichat alli need is a explaination step by step how to start chatting on ichat please
HI,
Starting in iChat 4
There are two menus on this page. One at the top and the slightly lower one headed "iChat 4 How-Tos"
This menu contains links to Setting up a Screen Name*, the Start Up Screens and so on up to Video Chats
Screen Names*
These have changed some what since I wrote that page.
Apple still issue IDs via iCloud now rather than MobileMe
These are still Valid AIM Screen Names and will work in iChat 6 (Lion OS X 10.6.x) and Mountain Lion (OS X 10.8.x) with Messages.
However these two version have a second Log in to a server called Me.com which in turn then allows the AIM servers to "See" the password held at Apple.
Effectively it means iCloud issued @me.com and @icloud.com Names will not work in iChat 5, iChat 4 or earlier.
Also the "Name" part is essentially know to AIM so you cannot use the email itself to "create" an AIM Name
The AIM Registration page has also moved
AIM will accept you registering and email as the AIM name as the @ is a valid character or a plain Username (No @AIM or AOL suffix needed)
You can also use Jabber IDs
GoogleMail accounts can have "Talk" enabled in the account settings and the ID can then be used as a Googletalk ID.
Facebook also run a Jabber server and you have to enable "Chat" on your settings there.
There are also many other Public Jabber servers you could join (mostly registration is though a Jabber specific app than the created ID is used in iChat)
Summary.
I have linked you to my website about iChat at the iChat 4 How-to point.
The broader strokes of Getting a Screen Name are that it is an AIM or AIM Valid Name or Jabber ID that is needed (many people use both)
However since I wrote that page Apple's MobileMe has come to and end and names are now issued through iCloud.
Initial iCloud IDs ended @me.com (like MobileMe did) and now tend to be @icloud.com name
These ARE valid AIM names but will only work in iChat 6 and Messages (Lion and Mountain Lion) due to the way these password checking process works between AIM and Apple.
This in turn means any iCloud Issued name will not work in iChat 5 or earlier versions.

I have changed my icloud email in my iphone but in macbook still using old email. I tried to delete the old email in macbook but it requires password and it does not accept the old password for the old email anymore. How do I remove this old email?
Hello farahani hairon nizar,
If your Apple ID was changed from your old account, you may have to change it back to your old account to be able to sign out and then change it back after that is done. Take a look at the article below for more information.

I have moved from the UK to New Zealand and Itunes will not accept my new Zealand bank details, I am trying to change my details on the Iphone 4s
Do you have a new Apple ID to use in NZ? If not open iTunes Store. Log out of your old Apple ID, then try to login. Select Create Apple ID from the dialog that appears. Make a new Apple ID for NZ with a NZ email address. Once that is approved and verified, log into the iTunes Store with the new Apple ID. This should fix all other issues.
Change iTunes Store Country on an iDevice
1. Tap Settings;
2. Tap iTunes & App Stores;
3. Tap View Apple ID;
4. Enter your user name and password;
5. Tap Country/Region;
6. Tap Change Country/Region;
7. Select the region where you will be located;
8. Tap Done.

Hi Jeannet,
There is nothing in the registration screen which should prevent you from entering any valid email ID unless and untill you are mentioning the same ID in both the "E-mail" and "Confirm E-mail" field. Could you please confirm that? -

You'll need to connect the iPod Touch to your iTunes library in recovery mode and restore it factory settings. There is no other way.
Here are instructions for getting your iPod touch into recovery mode.

my password keeps coming back incorrect, I have reset it 3 times now and it will not accept it on my iTunes to update on my phone or pad. It obviously is the right password since I was able to log in here...
Firstly like King Penguin says log out ,i would clear cookies and history in the safari settings, then I would restart the unit and then open up ITunes and try using the last PW you entered when you changed it.Cookies can be a bugger.

I just started my Macbook air the first time, connected it with my wlan and know it asks me for a password and it does not accept the only password I know, what can I do?
It needs the user password for the wireless router, that would have been set by whomever installed the router, if that was you then try to find the password. If you can not find the password reset the router to factory default and set it up again.

Re installing Photoshop CS4 on an upgraded computer and it will not accept serial number
Re installing Photoshop CS4 on an upgraded computer and it will not accept the serial number. Unable to deactivate Photoshop before upgrading computer due to hardware failure. Note that Adobe Photoshop CS4 New Install Bundle package consists of the new Photoshop CS4 Upgrade bundled together with the qualifying product, in this case an Adobe Photoshop CS2 License. I have tried both the CS2 and CS4 Serial numbers and both have not worked.

First time using ical. adding invitee and ical does not accept address
CHRIS A123,
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
1. Quit iCal, and open System Preferences...>Language & Text>Formats>Region:>reset/choose the appropriate region...also check what you have set in Dates/Times
2. If that is unsuccessful, I also recommend using the Mac OS X v10.6.2 Update (Combo).
