IChat Account Name Is Not Me! :(

When logging in with my .me account that I originally setup, it says that I am the first person in my contacts list (the handle above the 'Available' drop down).
Yes, yes, I read the help file where I'm supposed to go to my Address book and select myself, then "Make This My Card". And yes, I've done that and I'm now set as me...
Yet iChat, in its infinite wisdom, seems to think I'm still the previous person and I can find no way to change this. I've even gone into my actual mobileme account settings and ensured that my name is my name...iChat seems to not care.
Ideas?

Hi,
When you went through the Start Up Screens the first time was another name (from the Address Book) in the First Name Last Name spaces ?
You are talking about this spot ?
If the "Handle" part is not you then you have to go to iChat menu > Preferences > Accounts and delete that Screen Name/account and re-set up the account with the "Right Screen Name.
You may in iChat 4 have more than one AIM (valid) Screen Name such as @mac and have a Buddy List open where you have allowed a friend to add an Account.
In this case you would only have to do the Deleting part above and in your .mac one select the Use this Account check box to get the Buddy List to show.

I may receive some form of compensation, financial or otherwise, from my recommendation or link.

The password for the account "account name" was not changed. Your system administrator may not allow you to change your password or there was some other problem with your password. Contact your system administrator for help.

I have a user who's Active Directory password is going to expire. I had her reset her password by going to apple > system prefs > user > and clicking change password. She received the error "The password for the account "account name" was not changed. Your system administrator may not allow you to change your password or there was some other problem with your password. Contact your system administrator for help."
I had her change her password via the kpasswd command in terminal and that changed her password on the server sucessfully however the laptop has FileVault on it. Filevault is not recognizing the new password just the old password.
I have deleted the keychain which didn't resolve and now I am going to decrypt and reencrypt the drive. I'm hoping this is an isolated issue I have over 25 laptops configured like this.

I "think" the trick was unbinding and rebinding the computer account.
After unencrypting and trying to reencrypt Filevault would still not take the new password.
Rebooted the prompt to update the keychain appeared. Updated the keychain. Filevault would still not take the new password.
Unbinded and rebinded the computer account. It worked and let me add the user to filevault.

Intermittent "Access to account "(Account Name)" is not permitted."?

A couple times today I got the following message:
"Access to account "(Account Name)" is not permitted.
The server responded:
"HTTP/1.1 403 Forbidden"
to operation CalDAVAccountRefreshQueueableOperation."
I replaced the real account name with (Account Name) above. A few seconds after I got this message both times, I right-clicked and did a "Refresh" on the calendar and it worked fine. Any idea why I get these messages intermittently?

Interesting little change...
Our triangle/cylinder/rhomboid/whatever we're calling it now is configured like this:
AD OUs and groups. Our domain OD just nests the OUs and groups in OD security groups. iCal (and Wiki) are on a server attached to both AD and that OD, while it's also its own OD master. So the domain OD doesn't actually hold any users, just groups.
We had an incident Monday where somehow augmented users landed on the OD server. iCal worked perfectly while that was the case. Once the guys removed the users from the OD server, iCal stopped working.
The users are all also augmented on the iCal server, so I'm confused as to why this would be.

Using .mac alias as an iChat account name

Hi,
I'm a full .mac member.
Thus, I am able to create aliases (e.g. [email protected]).
I'd like to use this alias as an iChat account name (so I can have two iChat accounts : one personal, one professional).
Is this possible ?
Thanks,
Regards,
Tibo

HI TiboDeParis,
Nope.
Screen names have to be full names or Trial accounts.
Trial accounts work after the 60 days are up.
The other option is of course an AIM screen name.

SSO App Config : 0xC0002A1C, The account name is not valid or does not exist.

Hi there,
We are using BizTalk Server 2010, I want to use the SSO to store and modify sensitive data. I am trying to automate through scripts the creation and updates of the SSO.
So I used the sso manage to create the sso application where I want to store my data. Everything works fine. Then when I try to access the data
I got the error :
SSO AUDIT
Function: GetConfigInfo (ConfigProperties)

By googling I seem to be missing one step related to
BTSScnSSOApplicationConfig.exe But I looked everywhere, I didn't know where to find this exe file. Do I have to download something? Where can I find it? was it renamed to something else?
Thx for any help,
Stefan

Hello,
I found finally the solution to my problem.
You'll need to use the ssomanage and use the to
BTSScnSSOApplicationConfig.exe found in the link mentionned previously.
In order for it to work, a special attention needs to be paid to the AffiliateApplication.xml
The contact XmlElement is important (it's not an email address as I used to think (smile))

CalDAV Server: Access to account "NAME" is not permitted. The server responded: "403" to operation CalDAVRemoveCalendarQueueableOperation.

I am running SL Server 10.6.8 and have a problem with only one iCal server account (mine). I am unable to delete a calendar that I created. I can rename it (was called "Home" and changed it to "Delete Me"). I can create new calendars and have one called "Home" and another called "Work" which I can also rename and delete without any problem. However, when I try to delete my original "Home" calendar, now called "Delete Me" it warns me that I will loose any appointments so I know iCal thinks there are events in the calendar otherwise it would not give that prompt. However, when I go to the year view and scan forward and back approx 20 years there are no events to be seen. I then confirm that I want to delete the account and then I get the following error with the option to "Ignore" or "Go Off-line"...
Access to account “NAME” is not permitted.
The server responded: “403” to operation CalDAVRemoveCalendarQueueableOperation.
If I ignore the calendar simply reapears and if I go off-line my calendar stops syncing and remains off-line until I try to take it back on-line at which time I get the above error again.
Any ideas how to fix this? I think it is because of this calendar I am unable to access my calendar via web as well. All other accounts on the server are able to but mine but going to eat this elephant one bite at a time and then resolve the ical web access afterwards.
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Found solution!!!!
After trying to delete the calendar "family" multiple times and reading through some threads... I was able to figure out that the "Family" calendar that we can't seem to delete is corrected to FAMILY SHARING. Here is what I did:
Went on my iPhone 5S
1.Go to Settings
2. Scroll down to iCloud; and click on it
3.Click on "Family"
4. Click on your name at the top (has to be the organizer, i think)- I was the organizer so it worked
5.Stop Family Sharing
6. Stop Sharing
Now you can go to your calendar app and delete it! here is how in case you don't know
1. Click on Calendar app
2. Click on the word "Calendars" in middle of screen
3.Click on "Edit" at top left hand corner of screen
4. Scroll down to the calendar you want to delete and click on it
5. Scroll to the bottom of the screen and click "delete calendar"
DONE!!
If you are using your calendar on a mac like I was.... hence why it took sometime to figure this out. You have to stop family sharing from iPhone (if you can do it on the mac- more power to you, I didn't try figuring that out) and then you can go on your mac (if your connect to WI-Fi):
right click the calendar you want to delete,
select delete and it should go away!
yay!! hope this helps!!

Adding ichat account names

ever since updating to latest snow leopard, ive had an issue in ichat when adding a name. used to be when i hit the "+" button on ichat, a window would appear where i can enter someone's name. if i had them in my address book and an IM account name was also in my address book, their account name would show in the "account name" box. now it displays a phone number and i have to open address book and cut and paste it in. any others share this problem?

Hi,
Welcome to the  Discussions
I am busy sorting out my Time Machine Backup drive at the moment for my OS 10.6.4 computer.
My Address Book does not have Address/Contact cards for people who I only have Screen Names for.
I can Add a entry by adding a character to the iChat Info Card > Address Card tab
(I list [email protected] as just a Screen Name - I added just an A as "First Name") Info card is brought up by highlighting a Buddy then the CMD key and i key together.
If I then removed the letter "a" in iChat (info card) the Screen Name as Name then remains in the Address Book.
Adding a Buddy normally presumes they are not in the Address Book and "Asks" for First Name, Last Name.
However it can be linked to an existing Address Book entry by clicking the blue half arrow at the end of the Last Name line (opens a slide out to the Address Book and asks to "Pick a Card")
If you add a Buddy with an Open Chat from either the Buddies menu or the keystrokes (I have not done it with the + Button) then the Screen Name is pre-filled in the slide out (that you call window).
In the Buddies Menu the Add option changes to add in the Buddies Screen Name (the Slide Out is the same otherwise).
ICQ which has been owned by AOL for a long time still uses numbers as IDs
The Screen Name/ID is then added as that number.
In the States you can also do SMS but I can't here.
I forget which type has to have a + sign in front.
Hopefully this will provide you with some clues.

My developer account name is not the same as my Apple id Name

So I'm going to sign up for a IOS developer program in the Apple Developer Program ... Well you see my account used to be owned from my mom and i changed it to my account when i turned 13 well im currently 16 now and I know how to develop apps but i cant run them on my phone and stuff with out a developer ios program which ***** but i have to deal with it i guess so here is the problem...
My name is Matthew
This is the first Question i get... Well im oh well my name is matt not Robyn (she is my mom)
then i click My apple id i sign in and it takes me here:
so basically what im saying is , is that my name is not transferring over to my developer account.
Im extremely confused it is the same account and i have tried everything i can think of.
I am not going to make another account...
PLEASE HELP ME!!!

A developer account is a much more serious thing than an iCloud account. There are legal implications involving bank accounts and international laws. Depending on what software you develop, you may be required to notify the NSA. Everything that happens with your developer account needs to be under your parent's name. When you turn 18, the best thing to do would be to open your own developer account and transfer your apps.

Hey i was wondering if you could change your iChat account name to your cell phone number ?

Is there a way to change it from your email to a cell phone number?

HI,
I am not entirely sure what you are trying to achieve.
AIM accounts (Screen Names) can be linked to some extent to Mobile/Cell phone
https://settings.aim.com/ You need to Log in here to see more info in the Mobile setting
You can also Send SMS to US based phones (on Carriers that support this)
http://www.aim.com/ Scroll down the page a little.
Basically an US based Cell Phone Number can be added As If it is a Buddy. (Technically the Computer has to be set to the US to see the menu items in some version of iChat).
My the time you update to Mountain Lion then the Messages app has iMessages added to what iChat can do.
The iMessages account can link and then sync iMessages sent to an iPhone Number and /or and Apple ID.
It will work on the Mac version of Messages meaning you can Send If you were the iPhone (number) and also receive iMessages sent to the iPhone number)
The same is true on the iPhone it can Receive and Send from both.
I chat can not do this last item.
There is no way that I now of to "Spoof" a phone number as the Screen Name other than th Mobile Link in the first item I linked you to.

Data being Displayed while the Account Name not getting Displayed in FR

Hi,
We are facing a strange issue when is user is trying to run a Hyperion Financial report. The data and Entity Name is being displayed whereas the Account name is not being displayed for a particular entity. The user has access to the Entity and accounts. Any Clues ??
Thanks,
Addy

The first thing that pops to my mind is does the format of the cell have Replace checkbox checked with a blank description. thus any results coming back will display as blank.
Also the customized header is check and it is showing blank.
A quick test if you have Smart View is can the user access the same data? if yes then the report has a filter of some sort, if the user cannot access the data in smart view, there is a security problem perhaps with the data

User account name and home directory name do not match

A month ago I bought the latest iMac and used Migration assistant to migrate all of my data on over.
Everything went well... Except that my new iMac would not let me use my old user name. I had to create somethign else.
So my user (admin) account name is not the same as my Home directory name. (I only have 1 user account and 1 user Home directory... they both are named differently).
This has not caused problems, but I want to iron this out. I tried using System Preferences/Users and groups to change my user account name to match the name of my home directory name (which has my old user name)... but when I did that it said "Name not available".
Long time Mac user but I'm not comfortable doing anything deeper without some input & advice.
Thanks in advance!

I enable the Root user as outlined in the Apple Way instructions...logged out and loged in as the rooot user... but I really don't want to change the name of my user directory... That's the name I want to keep as a User.
Even logged in as a Root User...
I tried to change my current User Name to match by directory name, but it said Name is Not Available
I also tried to create a new User name that matches my directory name...same results Name is Not Available
Is there a sudo entry that will change the User to match my Directory name (which I want to keep and use)?
Thank in advance!

I have tried resetting my password and all. I am running Internet Explorer version 11 and my windows is 7. Any help would be nice...

I have a MAC computer with Sync. Was set up under sync Beta. I have an Android phone synced to it that was synced using the pair this device function. It works perfectly. I just got a new Android Tablet and am trying to add it to my sync and it does not seem to have the pair my device function. It insists I log into my sync account. So I try it and it tells me invalid userid/password. I verify and it is the exact email address userid that shows as being my sync account on the MAC. I verify the password on the MAC and it tests out fine. Try the tablet again and invalid.. So I try to reset my password on the tablet and am told my email address/account name does not exist. I just verified it AND Synced my MAC using it!! I have my recovery Key but there is no place to input it into the tablet. There is no place on tablet to enter the link device codes. How can my account be valid and in use on two devices but invalid and nonexistant on the new one? And How do I get the New one to sync with other two?

Ringtones and Old iTunes Account Name

I tried to create a ringtone from a song I purchased when my account was a former email address. I could not purchase the ringtone with the email address my iTunes account now has as the account name. When I "get info" on the song I see the old email address as the account name. I cannot login to iTunes with that login name since it no longer exists. Is this making sense? Any suggestions?

I did get good support by emailing Apple after a couple of tries. The person helping me did some digging and found out that I had two account names, neither of which matched up with the info on the purchased music.
The current account name would not work. Even though my purchased music listed a third account name, they suggested I try the second account and sure enough it would allow me to purchase the ringtone.
So if you can't get it to work you might try emailing Apple and asking that they check your history to see if there is an account that will work for your purchased music.

System variable number for accounts name

I am preparing pld for general ledger.I am not able to display accounts name.I tried using G/L Accounts - > Accounts Name but it displayed the first record form the database.
But I am ablt to display accounts code i.e system variable 74.
What is the number of system variable for the G/L Accounts ->Accounts ?
I tried using System Information,but it showed me table name i.e OACT.

Dilip,
Once thing to realize when running systems reports is what even you can see on the screen is only available through the Variable.
As I have seen the GL Report, the Account Name is not available on the display, so there could not be a variable for you to use in the PLD.
To help you I tried a few other things by using Account Name from OACT and stuff but nothing really works the way we need.
Sorry, could not take it any further ...
