If I am just using my .me account - can I send messages to people from yahoo, google, etc?
Or do I need to create separate account specifically for those systems and send from there? It seems that Apple needs to try and harmonize that process. If I have a yahoo or google account and I message someone who is just on one of those systems, just filter it thru that account and send it back to my "messages" app...
Hi,
With iChat the answer is NO.
You have to have a Jabber (GoogleMail ID , Facetbook ID or other Jabber) or a Yahoo account to be able to message people with those IDs.
APple IDs ending in @mac.com and @me.com are valid AIM Screen Names and these Buddies can be added to a "AIM" Login Buddy List.
Google and FaceBook run Jabber Servers and there are many other Jabber Public Servers you can get names/IDs from.
All these types can be added to a "Jabber" Buddy List.
Yahoo in iChat 6 is for Yahoo accounts only (you cannot Login with an MSN name like you can in Yahoo for Mac). You also cannot add MSN Buddies (Yahoo Only).

- Backup your phone
- Turn off PIN code requests.
- Make sure phone is charged
- Turn off the phone.
- Remove the memory card
- Put the phone on a table (easier to press the keys then).
- Press the three keys green, 3, and * and keep them securely down and do not release.
- While the keys are still down, turn the power on.
- Do not release the three keys until you ear the start tone -
Just got an e mail to say that my Apple ID was just used to download photoshop touch for phone for 2.99 from the App Store with a receipt number. Is this a scam for me to give my Apple ID?
No but there's a link to reset your password. Etc etc..
This is the email I got.
"Your Apple ID was just used to download Photoshop Touch for phone £2.99 from the App Store on a computer or device that had not previously been associated with that Apple ID.
If you initiated this download, you can disregard this email. It was only sent to alert you in case you did not initiate the download yourself.
If you did not initiate this download, we recommend that you go to iforgot.apple.com to change your password, then see Apple ID: Tips for protecting the security of your account for further assistance.

Although I select hotmail as my default account (it´s my personal) Iphone always takes my corporative account to send my emails when I attach a pic, video, or any attachments. I want the Iphone always use my personal account (hotmail) to send all the attachments.
Settings->Mail, Contacts,Calendars->Mail->Default Account should be set to the one you want to use.
You can also, when attaching Pics, Tap on the CC/Bcc From Line and then on From to choose an account to send the pictures from. -
I have 2 accounts in outlook 2010. 1 is for me and the other I have delegate access to. When I am in the delegates email and want to reply it automatically uses the account the email is in. So if I am in my email, the from is me but if I am in the delegates
email and hit reply the from is them. Now this is not working and I can't figure out how to get it to work. The only thing that changes is that office asked me to activate recently, which is weird since I have had this same computer with the same version of
office for almost a year now. I did a ton of searching and came across an option on the internet: "Always use the deafult account when composing new messages" but this option is not there on my computer. I checked another computer I have with Office
2010 also and the option is available so it must be something to do with the office activation because I haven't done it on this computer yet. PLEASE HELP!!!Seems this is a hot issue recently, I've post a reply to another thread with the similar topic, please reference that:

Hello chrispyw,
If your content is still being displayed incorrectly, I would check the resolution setting for the built in display with this article:
OS X Yosemite: Adjust your display’s resolution
If it keeps happening whenever you use AirPlay then I would use this section of the following article to reset the display system:
Apple computers: Troubleshooting issues with video on internal or external displays
Reset the system
You can reset the Mac's parameter RAM and SMC.Reset the resolution
Start by resetting the Mac's parameter RAM. If the display does not come up, was previously set to an unsupported resolution, and still results in no video:
Start up in Safe Mode.
From the Apple () menu, choose System Preferences.
Choose Displays from the View menu to open the preferences pane.
Select any resolution and refresh rate that your display supports.
Restart your computer.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

Just used Migration Assistant and can't access files, get message
I just used Migration Assistant to move files (per directions on screen) from my older iMac to new G4 running 10.4.1. It seems as though everything has transferred, but when I try to open folders that have migrated, I get a window that says, "The folder could not be opened because you do not have sufficient access privileges".
Is there a way to obtain these privileges? Not sure how to proceed. If not, should I scrap everything and just drag and drop files? I had hoped to preserve all of my settings, address books, older email (using macmail program), etc...
Any help is greatly appreciated!Hello christine:
Do you really mean OS X 10.4.1? The current level is now OS X 10.4.11.
Try running permission repair from disk utility. If that does not work, I think I would do an archive and install on the G4:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107120
Than would install a pristine OS X (which would need to be updated while preserving your files, programs, and settings.

hei , i was window user an just switched to ipone 6 , can i merge my contacts group from windows to IOS ? please quide
Right, I finally managed to get it sorted out.
iCloud only accept version 3.0 vcards, and the one I was using were version 2.1 so that's why it wasn't picking it up. So the easy way to get that sorted out is, use a gmail account.
I know you don't wanna do it because you think it's too much hassle and stuff, but trust me it only takes 5 minutes and that's it.
1. Create a Gmail Account.
2. Export your Old VCard files to the Gmail Account.
3. Now Import them from Gmail to your PC again.
And, that's it, that's just makes the new imported version in 1 file contains your all contacts in version 3.0. Now you can just upload that on icloud and then sync it with your iphone.
That's what I did and it worked, and I am sure if you wanna replace this file in the Contacts folder under your User Account in Windows and then try to sync Contacts in Tunes, it should work, but as I said, I did it with iCloud and it worked for me. So aye, that's pretty much it. Phewwww..
Been searching for it for the whole day and it took 5 minutes in the end, badass...
Anyway, don't lose hope and always Google for everything! -
Can't Send messages using mail on Bell South DSL
My parents are using Bell South DSL and a Net Gear Wireless Router. I have a Linksys Wireless Router living in GA and everything works fine. Any ideas what is going on here?
I receive all my email, I just can't send messages.Ernie,
Greetings! I found this thread after trying in vain to set up my mom's email, which also stopped working with Bellsouth after the upgrade to 10.5 (now on 10.5.1). Email conversion was fine, and she, like others here, could receive mail but not send it.
I have followed the directions here to the letter. Still no such luck. To clarify, mail.bellsouth.net, port 25, no authentication is the only entry in her outgoing mail server list (and it's selected). Moreover, when she checks Connection Doctor, it passes with flying colors - even connecting for outgoing email.
Still pondering this one. I'm about "this close" to getting her a Gmail account (which I tested using my account - and it works fine, even IMAP). Of course if she can keep her existing account I think she'd prefer that, but I say go with whatever works ... !
Other troubleshooting thoughts welcome!

Can't send message using Messages app on iPad
iOS 5.0 Messages app - can't send message to valid contact using iPhone?
I have been having the same problem. I have a dot mac account wich I use as my primary e-mail account. I receive just fine, I just cannot send using mail. If I loggon to the dot mac website, I can send mail that way. But I cannot send using mail. The strange part is, I can use mail on my iBook (G3), and my daughters eMac (G4). I have checked, they all hace the same options checked in the account settings. But, my pride and joy (iMac G4) refuses to send mail. It gets frustrating having to logon to the website just to send mail. HELP.

My friend has an iPhone but doesn't use iMessage. How can I send her regular texts with the new iOS 7 update?
That's because her phone is recognized in the Apple database as an iPhone. It should eventually convert to SMS but that's above my level of expertise here so hopefully someone else can come along and help you further. She could just turn on iMessage and solve the problem. Ha!
Good luck! -
Error Message: "Can't Send Message using the Server UCPB GEN"
Frequently i can't send emails from "UCPBGEN" "Gmail", "MSN" and "Yahoo". There are times i can, without changing any setting. The error message i am get is "Can't Send Message using the server..."
When i check connection doctor, they are all green.What OS are you using?
Double-checking all settings is good. Along the way, one thing to try:
Have a look at your SMTP server settings to see if the port is set to "default" or "custom". If it is "default" try switching to custom using one of the numbers listed under "default". That fixed it for me on one of my accounts.
(To do all this: Mail, Preferences, Accounts, Outgoing Mail Server, Edit SMTP server list, Advanced.)
