HI,
An Apple ID can be anything you want.
On the whole they tend to be email addresses.
The Link Defcom sent you to requires that you list another email to create the APPLE ID with an @mac ending.
However this email cannot be one that is already Associated with an existing Apple ID.
Separate from that an Google Mail ID can be used in iChat as well - providing you have enabled "Talk" on your Google account settings.
Google run a Jabber server and this means you will have to have Jabber Buddies.

  • HT1212 Weird - don't see the 'Enter' or 'Go' to button after upgrading to ios 7.0.2.

    I don't see the 'Enter' or 'Go' to button after upgrading to ios 7.0.2. Weird screen with just "Enter passcode" and a horizontal entry strip to enter password. there is only 'Done' on keyboard. When i hit 'Done' button screen shakes for a sec and resets the password. I remember my password very well. Need immediate help. Thanks. Must add that i had to restore the ipad from backup after 7.0.2 upgrade

    iPhone required a proper restart. After restart both issues were gone.

  • How do u get help from apple support with iChat? I was able to chat with support last week to solve my problem but now the same issue is back and I don't see the option to chat now?

    qHow do u get help from apple support with iChat? I was able to chat with support last week to solve my problem but now the same issue is back and I don't see the option to chat now?

    For what it is worth I have noticed a similar issue from the iPad3 while at work and home. At work we have two Apple TV 3rd Generation installed and tied to our A/V system. I believe the issue has to do with a timeout on the broadcast saying "here I am" and allowing devices to connect.
    For example:
    At work we have several Wi-Fi SSID being broadcast from Cisco APs. The only one we can use with the Apple TV is the one that uses a WEP since the others are either setup to be hidden, require web page authentication, or have a login requirement from employees. Essentially, what I believe the issue is that the Apple TV periodically broadcasts a message to other iOS devices that support Mirroring. When the Apple TV does not get a response from a device it goes into a dormant mode and requires either a command from the remote control or a reboot. This has been tested with both the power management enabled and not enabled with the same results.
    As for when I come home, the Apple TV3 has not seen the device in some time and therefore is not broadcasting it's location information. A simple click of the circle or menu keys on the remote will give it the command to start broadcasting again and allow the iPad3 to see the Apple TV. When trying to Home Share the computer can not play (iTunes 11, Win8RTM) until the Apple TV is awoken then it will show up for mirroing.
    This may or may not assist you but, it hopefully explains how the issue may be happening.

  • I'm having trouble loading photos on my I phone 4s and I pod.  I don't see the photos tab in Itunes?? Prob user error but wanted to get some help.

    I'm having trouble loading photos on my I phone 4s and I pod.  I don't see the photos tab in I-tunes? I'm sure its user error but wanted to get some help.

    What's the origin of this external drive? It sounds very much like it's a Windows-formatted (NTFS) drive which Macs can't write to. If you can, copy the files off the drive, reformat it as Mac format (using Disk Utility) and copy the files back. If you need to continue writing to it from a Windows PC, you should format it ExFAT in Disk Utility.

  • Hi, Joann JustAnswer has asked me to answer your question -- "I have iPad 2 and I don't see the little box at top in safari to let me see the open pages I have. In iPad 1 it was next to the open book at the top

    Hi, Joann

    On iPad 1 it was next to the little open book

    Not with iOS 5 no. A number of other people have made the same comment about it, so you could try leaving feedback like some of them will have done, and maybe in a future iOS update we'll get the choice : http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html

  • I am trying to delete a podcat but don't see the option is mine and I...

    I am trying to delete a podcat but don't see the option mentioned in the article.
    "is mine and I would like it removed from the Music Store". I see "remove a podcast" but that is all. My problem is that I published my first podcast from iWeb and would like to replace it with another one. I published a new one from iWeb but the information displayed in iTunes is for the old one. If I subscribe to the "old" one I actually do get the new one. I may only need to edit my RSS file but how do I do this from iWeb? I hope you can help as I have been going around in circles trying to correct this problem

  • Apple TV - I Still Don't See The Value

    I have had an Apple TV for a couple of years now and unfortunately I don;t see the value in it anymore. Apple has paid no attention to what this thing can be. And while I know that the goal is to make money, it's a shame that so many digital components are being left out.
    For those of you who have an Xbox, you recently received Netflix and Last FM.
    For whatever reason, Netflix downloads almost instantly on the Xbox. Apple TV take a pretty long time, and at least 4 hours for HD movies. Why is this?
    Second, LastFm is like Pandora. While the addition to internet Radio is nice, why not bundle up with Pandora?
    Finally, why not intergrate this into other digital spaces like facebook, twitter and even Hulu..... The entire thing doesnt make sense.
    I currently only use this thing for Photos, and really that's even a pain in the *** because I need to have it identical to what's on my MAC. The whole system *****, and frankly not well thought out.
    In fact, I personally think that their should be an APP store on the Apple TV, like the Iphone..... There is so much they can do to make this system better. In the meantime, Xbox has gained ground, if not passed them as a entertainment hub for the TV.... and honestly, I think they have only scratched the surface.
    In a few years, I believe we will be capable of not needing cable, directtv, etc... We should be able to Pick "CBS" and pick a show...and watch....Through the internet. Not actually buying shows.

    While there may be groups of users who want it to be an all-singing all-dancing machine for certain tasks, not every group will want the same things. Therein lies the problem, what to develop particularly when many options won't be cash-cows.
    You presumably bought it for the feature set it had and it still has those things.
    I'd buy one tomorrow for music playback alone via the hi-fi - my wish here would be for it to support better quality PCM audio output (limited to 16 bit 44.1kHz for music).
    Mine get hours of use each day for family viewing, no messing around with VHS tapes or discs. Great.
    I wish they hadn't added YouTube in 1.01 to be honest and even some aspects of iTunes store annoy me on it, though on balance I prefer the store is present.
    I wouldn't use Twitter/Facebook and all that kind of stuff - not my thing really so it would be of no interest and just clutter menus, but I appreciate others would like them
    Adding apps/plugins would be a good way to address different wants for the system as you'd customise in line with what you wanted and wouldn't be forced to use things you didn't need.
    With regard to things like Netflix/Pandora etc many of these are country specific eg Pandora stopped those outside US from accessing it, Netflix is not available in UK. Last FM is great on the iPhone, I'd love it on the AppleTV. UK users would love BBC iPlayer, it would be useless to you.
    So without opening up the system to allow 3rd parties to deploy local content/features specific to each country I would imagine it would be very hard to target what to develop in house that would work universally.
    There are also usage concepts that annoy - syncing being one for a variety of reasons, I'd prefer a manual drag and drop method of populating it, but I mainly stream anyway. It's the AppleTV 'way' though so it won't change. USB port activation would also be incredibly handy either to backup material, extend playback storage or populate AppleTV. Again, unliklely to change.
    You presumably know the feedback link:
    http://www.apple.com/feedback/appletv.html
    AppleTV may not be perfect but I don't think there is a perfect device out there currently - the competition is certainly hotting up though.

    I don´t see the iphoto library in imovie, how can i use the videos of iphoto, how can i get de library in imovie?
    Thank you

    Is there any chance you launched iPhoto while the external hard drive was not available? If so you may have created a virtual EHD - if so unmount your EHD and in the finder go menu ==> go to folder == /Volumes and if you see your EHD there drag it to the desktop - then remount it and launch iPhoto and see if you see both libraries

    Hi everyone, I have problems with the notification, in a few apps I don't see the red circle even when I do have notifications in it.

    You'll get no solution until you say what the problem is, rather than just ranting.  "Software breakdown" down is as meaningful as "car won't go".
    If you read the terms and conditions that you agreed to in order to post here, you would know that Apple is not "our company". Nobody here works for Apple, we are users that voluntarily try to help, so raving at us is valueless.

  • After the installation of Lion I don't see the partition with Windows 7. The solution?

    After the installation of Lion I don't see the partition with Windows 7. The solution?

    Let's be real clear here -- are you saying you are using Internet Explorer and when you try and download Mozilla Firefox it gets around 75% through and shuts down?
    If so there is something wrong with your computer -- or at least IE. I rarely, if ever, recommend this, but it might be time to reformat your hard drive and reinstall your OS (if you are even thinking about doing this the first thing you must do is back up all your data files, preferably to writable media like DVDR or CDR).
    If you have a friend with a computer perhaps you can get them to download both the latest iTunes as well as (more importantly) the latest firmware updater, and then install them on your machine (they can write them to their own CD).
    The other thing that occurs to me is you might not be logged in as admin on that computer -- make sure you are doing this and are the only user.
    Otherwise my brain is fuzzy right now -- perhaps someone else can jump in after you reply (I'm right in the middle of packing for a cross country move and only able to spend about five minutes a day on this board).

  • Don't see the hand tool at all (dont see the 'tool' bar)

    I opened a form so that I could fill in the fields.  The security says that filling of form fields allowed.  However, I don't see the 'Tool' bar at all. All I have on top: File Edit View Window Help'.  I have Adobe Reader X.
    Where is the 'Tool' bar? I need the hand tool to fill in the forms; right?
    Thank you.

    Thank you so much for responding.  I helps so much just to know someone is listening
    I just bought a new computer with Windows7.  Was working a great 7 year old HP with XP and my Adobe Flash crashed on Firefox and I could not restore.  So....time to upgrade.  I installed Adobe Flash and Reader on the new computer and I can open .;pdf docs and the floating toolbar is there but none of the functions work.
    I can get the toolbar at the top with F8 but again nothing works.  I have right clicked and gone into properties with no help.  Also gone into compatibility and changed it from XP to 2003 as there was no 2007 selection and goofed it all up.
    I just uninstalled Reader and on the installation it asked about opening in protected mode and I check to always open in unprotected mode.  The only ,pdf I open are from the government.  Now I see the toolbar functons work.  The save function is crucial to me, I run a consulting business keeping nursing homes updated on regulations for reimbursement and survery among other things.  If I cannot save .golv docs I have no business

    So I forgot the answers to my security questions and in order to reset them I need to answer them? Help? I can't buy anything and I don't see the option to resend them...

    The reset link will only show if you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account. If you aren't getting the link then that implies that you don't have one and you won't be able to add one until you can answer 2 of your questions - you will need to contact iTunes Support or Apple to get them reset.
    e.g. you can try contacting iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Account Management , and then 'Forgotten Apple ID security questions'
    or try ringing Apple in your country and ask to talk to the Accounts Security Team : http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
    When they've been resetyou can then use the steps half-way down this page to add a rescue email address for potential future use : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312 . Or, if it's available in your country, you could change to 2-step verification : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5570
