  • How do i make a new iChat account?

    I recently clicked on the provided application iChat since my friends have it. It had asked me to put in a screename and password. So i did. Then it brought me to the little rectangular icon  that showed my macbook user picture and my screename. I put the mouse over the screename and it asked me if i wanted to show handle or name. I clicked name but it had my moms name. My moms name is used for the Apple ID my family uses. I want to make it so that name is mine. Please help me!

    Hi,
    Open iChat again
    Go to the Preferences. Then the  Accounts section.
    At the bottom of the list on the left (Should have the account you  entered in the set up procedure and Bonjour), press the + (plus) button at the bottom.
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3245947?tstart=0
    This will open a new Screen.
    If you then Select AIM in the top item (It will be come a drop down) and then hit the "Get an iChat Account" button it should take you to the AIM Registration page  (this has moved so you possibly have to use the Link I provided.)
    Alternatively you can select @Mac.com and use the "Get an iChat Account" Button
    This will take you here to the @mac.com registration page.
    If using this one you need to have an Email Address that is not associated with an Apple ID already.
    Also do not make the password over 16 characters in length as this is the Limit with the AIM servers (The page encourages longers to be "More Secure")
    Just to be clear.
    AIM and the two Apple IDs (MobileMe and @mac.com are all Valid AIM Screen Names)
    Family MobileMe accounts that are not the Master account tend not to work as they are alias email account and not full Apple IDs.
    Other forms of Apple ID are Not Valid AIM Screen Names (Unless you happen to also register it with the AIM registration process.)
    iChat version 3, 4, 5 and 6 can support you using Jabber IDs
    These include Googlemail ID where Talk has been enabled on your Google Account setting.  (Google run a Jabber server).
    Facebook also run a Jabber server  and your ID can be used in iChat.
    Other than Google and Facebook most Jabber IDs require you use a Jabber app to register an ID as most Jabber servers do not have a web browser page to register.
    In iChat 6 (with Lion) you can also use a Yahoo ID
    Again you have to have Registered this beforehand (this can be done On-line in a web browser)
    NOTE
    Any Jabber/Google ID and Yahoo ID will only Video Chat to other users who are using iChat as well at their end.

  • MacBook crashes when trying to make a new user account

    Hi Guys,
    I want to make an additional user account on my MacBook. I am going through the normal steps but when the screen pivots to reveal the new desktop screen after clicking on the new account holder the screen then completely freezes. the only way to exit is by holding the power button down.
    Can anyone help? Is this a software malfunction? Virus?
    Thanks

    Hi Baron,
    How are you toggling to the new user? Are you going through the login window or are you going through fast user switching from the existing user? You might want to first try deleting the account and then recreating it. If the whole OS is freezing on login then there's perhaps something wrong with the user account, given that it's brand new it's possible that there was a backend account creation process that was not done properly. Not exactly something you can easily control.
    I don't think it's a virus.

  • I was trying to make a new screen recording using quicktimeplay, but when I watched the video after recording it all I could hear was me talking while the video was showing on the screen. How do I turn off that recording and turn the right one on? thanks

    Hi j2399123,
    It sounds like your screen recording is doing what it was designed to do, capture what is happening on your screen, with optional voice over with the microphone.
    Screen recording is for recording what you see on the screen, it is not a "video capture" option, like for capturing a movie with sound that is playing on your screen.
    For the QuickTime recording options, check out "Recording with QuickTime Player" in
    Mac Basics: QuickTime Player creates, plays, edits, and shares video and audio files
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4024
    And for screen recording specifically, there's
    QuickTime Player 10.x: Record your computer’s screen
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH5882
    Thank you for thinking of Apple Support Communities for your support needs.

  • The iCloud was never verified therefore never backing up anything on my iphone 4s because it was the wrong email and now I'm trying to make a new one but it says if I delete the account it will remove it's data from my phone. Will I lose everything?

    The iCloud was never verified therefore never backing up anything on my iphone 4s because it was the wrong email and now I'm trying to make a new one but it says if I delete the account it will remove it's data from my phone. So if I put delete account will I lose everything on my Iphone?

    This was EXACTLY what I needed about the purchases I made from my device. However, is there a way to re-download other ones you've made from a computer? Because I realized some of them were not just purchased from my device.
    This is a picture of what it looks like now:
    http://tinypic.com/r/107quxu/7
    As you can see, the stuff circled in red doesn't give me an option to download from Cloud Beta because it already says "downloaded".
    any way to get around that?

    I'm trying to create a new ichat Acc because for some reason the old one is not working, so I go to Create an Apple ID and start creating a new apple ID, when I submit the Acc it tells me that my Email address is already verified for another Apple ID and thats the only email address I have... What can I do?

    There is no way to consolidate iTunes accounts.
    Setting up an iPhone has never required creation of a new Apple ID.
    You've apparently purchased content with both Apple ID's.  Sign into the device with the correct Apple ID and sync the content.

  • Help!  I thought I was pretty good setting up slide shows and adding music.  I'm trying to make a new slide show from a great trip to New York.  I can get theme music but no music at all from iTunes.  Checking my older slide shows, which did play music!

    Help!  I thought I was pretty good setting up slide shows and adding music.  I'm trying to make a new slide show from a great trip to New York.  I can get theme music but no music at all from iTunes.  Checking my older slide shows, which did play music, it's all gone!
    Problem seems to have started after updating to Mavericks.
    Is there a box I need to check/uncheck?
    Any help very welcome!

    Hopefully you've seen the post from Terence Devlin?  I've pasted it below.
    In iTunes go File -> Library -> Organise Library -> Reorganise Library.
    Then quit and restart iPhoto.
    Pity Apple didn't either warn us or set up a bug fix!

  • Trying to create a new iTunes Account.... need help

    Ok so I'm trying to make a new account, and well I really don't want to put the credit card information. Well, i'm underage to have a credit card? so is it possible to avoid the Credit Card Information?
    Thanks

    You cannot avoid putting the credit card info in, but you can set up your account so you will have to go to steps to purchasing something instead of the one click option. When you set up the account , under the store tab click on put in shoppng cart for purchase. When you set up itunes it is automatically set on one click to buy, so you have to make sure you change that setting . I have not had any problems with any charges on my credit card and I joined a few months back.

  • I have been trying to recover or reset my password, but the reset email never comes, so I can't change my password. I tried to open a new itunes account to assign my iphone 4 to, but it always defaults to the old itunes account?

  • If I was to get a new computer and transfer all my music from my itunes on my old computer to hard drive then to my new computer and itunes, could I make a new itunes account on my new computer and still be able to use my old songs?

    If I was to get a new computer and transfer all my music from my itunes on my old computer to hard drive then to my new computer and itunes, could I make a new itunes account on my new computer and still be able to use my old songs?
    I am getting a new computer and I know I can transfer my music on my old computer to my new one with a hard drive but me and brother currently share an account and I would like my own, once I get a new computer can I make a new account on my new itunes and still be able to keep my old music and be able to sync it and play it etc?? Anyone with information on this would be muchly appreciated!!! Thank you in advance! Oh and I currently have a windows but will be getting a mac book pro most likely

    The music sync is one one way - computer to ipod.  The exception is itunes purchases.  File>Transfer Purchases
    Have you failed to maintain a backup copy of your computer?

  • HT2534 How can I make a new iTunes account so I can use the computer to download  music on my ipad

    How can I make a new iTunes account so I can use the computer to download  music on my ipad

    Why not use your previous iTunes account (Apple ID)? Explain a little more, please.

  • HT201269 Could I make a new iTunes account for my iPhone and transfer the music and tv episodes from the cloud of my old account to my phone?

    I want to make a new iTunes account, but I don't want to loose all of my previous purchases from my old account. Could I create a new account from y iPhone? And with that new account, could I use the icloud from the old account to sync my previous purchases?

    Purchases are forever tied to the ID used to purchase them. If you create a new iTunes account, you can still get your old purchases on your phone, but you'd have to sign out of the iTunes/App store with your new ID, then sign in with your old ID, then download them. Also, apps can only be updated using the ID used to originally obtain them. So, you'd have to sign out/sign in to update your apps that were obtained with the old ID.

  • I am trying to create a new itunes account and on the terms and conditions page the Agree button is permanently grey even when i have ticked the check box any ideas

    On my Macbook Pro running Lion - trying to create a new ITunes account and the Agree button on the Terms and condition page will not come active even after checking the box any ideas

    There isn't a way - at least not that I have found.  I'm having an issue with this as well - seems like a shoddy sort of business practice.  I refuse to enter my credit card number to download a FREE app.  I'm encouraging the user community that has a problem with this to please post your opinion as well.  I know this is a use community, but I have to think that Apple will take notice when an issue gets a lot of attention.  Apple needs to hear your voice.
