Impossible to stop signing into AIM on 1.4.1.1

Hi,
I seem to have a similar issue as reported by some in 1.3.1 ("Upon trying to add the AIM account, the spinner just kept going on signing in."). While I do see my contacts and can chat on the Pre with AIM, there is no option to sign out because it never stops signing in.
This is very annoying while I am at my computer. Please tell me there is a fix coming soon or I will have to disable AIM, which is not cool.
Thanks,
Adam

1) For the first time which you are login with Microsoft Account, you will need Internet Connect to authenticate your access , however once you successfully logged in with Microsoft Account once, then you could login with same account even without internet
connection. However if you change your password for Microsoft Account it only effect when you connect to internet.
2) You don't need to switch your account, you just need to login with Microsoft Account only for Store and then install your Apps while you are using your local account.

  • Your screen name ***** is now signed into AIM from 2 locations

    IChat keeps popping up this message:
    Your screen name *** is now
    signed into AOL(R) Instant
    Messenger in 2 locations. To sign
    off the other location(s), reply to
    this message with the number 1.
    I do use my iChat account on two computers, but I am never logged in from two machines at the same time. I get this message even if I have iChat running on only one machine.
    It used to happen occasionally and I would just type "1" and that was an end to it for a while. Now it is beginning to happen repeatedly. I type "1" and about 5 minutes later I receive the same message again.
    My screen name in the message is slightly garbled. It has an "(" on the front and the last character is replaced with a smiley. Mean anything?
    The option in iChat preferences "Allow multiple logins for this account" is checked and greyed out. I have another AOL Instant Messenger account which doesn't give me the same problems. This one also has that option checked, but its not greyed out.
    My first worry is that this is a symptom of someone trying to hack my system via iChat? But if not I would like to stop it happening while still being able to use this iChat account from more than one computer (but only one computer at a time)
    If anyone has encountered this problem and knows if it can easily be fixed I'd be grateful.
    Thanks very much

    Specifically using the Logout option on the AIM web pages does in fact log you out.
    It is when you just close the window /tab to the page that their Setting take effect.
    If you are set at "When I quit iChat, Set my Status to Off Line" that will also log you out fully when you Quit iChat.
    There are some Oddities that can cause this without a second location or computer being used. (well not directly).
    Are you doing Internet Sharing from this Mac to another computer or a cell phone ?
    This can cause a sort or Loop via the other computer to the internet and iChat can see the Internet twice. I have also seen this with iChat and an iPhone using Internet sharing. (Instead of being wirelss to the wireless router the person had used the Airport Card to Share the Mac's Internet connection thinking it would lead to better syncing).
    Also are you using the AOL Mail Servers and logging in from Mail (every thirty Minutes) to get your New Mail ?
    Are you using a MIMO routing device as iChat can see these as two or More connection to the Internet.
    DO you have another AIM based Instant Message app ? (AdiumX or ProteusX)
    Do you have an AIM transport set up for a Jabber Buddy List ?

  • Firefox stops responding for about 30 seconds after hitting Enter on any website's search bar, even the built in Google search or when signing into Facebook.

    As the title says, I run Firefox Beta 6 and just reinstalled Windows 7 Professional on my system due to seriously messed up Windows update, and when I downloaded and installed Firefox, I noticed every time I searched using the Google search next to the URL bar, FF would freeze for about 30 seconds to a minute, with nothing running in the background and no other programs running. I also disabled all Add-Ons and it still continues to act up, so that leads me to believe it's a FF issue, but even on every other website when using the search bar as soon as I hit enter, it locks up and stops responding then goes back to normal about 30 secs later, or if I sign into Facebook it does the same, and even when I had the FF 5 Beta before I had to reinstall I never had a problem.

    I managed to solve this problem as my computer has been giving me problems lately and completely froze on me the other day thanks to Game Booster Beta 3 and completely screwed with Windows 7 to the point I almost had to reinstall again, but I managed to fix all my problems and if you would just follow my link here over to my post on Seven Forums then it would be easier then explaining it again.
    http://www.sevenforums.com/system-security/180714-windows-7-professional-64-bit-logs-but-almost-frozen-3.html#post1550277 The reason for this is if you shut down your computer while running Firefox, it's possible you corrupted your User Profile for FF and if you follow my instructions you can repair it instead of making a new, so just follow the link, read my post and if you have anymore problems just message me on Seven Forums. Have a nice day and hopefully you get it all fixed. :b

  • How do i stop my Yahoo email from auto signing me into it when i sign into firefox

    when i sign into firefox, and if i have new email, my email auto opens when i sign into firefox. i don't have to give my password. in the bottom right part of the page, a box pops up and says i have (so many) new emails, there is a box to click on and my email opens with no call for my password. this way anyone who opens my firefox can read my email. how do i stop my email from auto opening?

    Agreed, malware isn't the issue. It seems to be a JavaScript call that sets the focus to the search field once the page finishes loading. If I were using Firefox, I could use a plug-in to stop the call, but I don't know of a plug-in for Safari that would let me do that.
    You're right, I just started noticing that a couple weeks ago. It drives me crazy! Any help is greatly appreciated.

  • When I sign into or out of Gmail - many other pages automatically refresh. How do I stop this?

    I hate automated things, when it's NON consensual and it's part of some automated bullshit trip.
    I might have half finished texts on the other open tabs, or what ever, but it's MY bandwidth to chew up on things I see fit, not the people of Mozilla, or Google or whoever.
    And while the account page is gmail, that I am signing into or out of, the other pages are NOT google pages either.
    I think the designers of the "refresh / automatic refresh" should be shot - because the reason I have a PAGE (tab) open, is because I want to access THAT page, and not a later version of it...
    This auto-reload / refresh of some tabs absolutely annoys the piss out of me, because I did not ask for it, and there is NO apparently easy up front way to stop it from happening - which I also think is one of the best way to alienate users of a product - by building in a host of idiot functions with NO control over them.
    So how do i stop this from happening?

    ''the-edmeister [[#answer-690349|said]]''
    <blockquote>
    That may be happening for websites that participate in Google+. ''IOW, Google+ knows about a lot of things you use on the internet; like they're following you around.'' You may want to check those websites to verify that they are connected with the Google+ program, or not. ''In that case, my hypothesis is incorrect.''
    I think what happens is that you sign in at Gmail, which is a Google+ sign-in these days, and all the other web pages that participate in the Google+ program somehow "sense" that you have just logged into Google+ and reload their page to reflect that you are nowlogged into the Google+ program. Google+ was originally an "option" at Gmail, but that ended not to long after Google+ came about - like within 6 months or so.
    http://www.google.com/intl/en/+/learnmore/better/
    One solution is to stay logged into Google+ / Gmail all the time. Another is to transition away from Gmail over time and use a different web-mail platform instead; and eventually stop using Gmail altogether.
    </blockquote>
    Yeah this is sounding like "THE PROBLEM" and what drives it. However, the solutions you have offered are not "solutions", in that they do not "FIX" the issues, they merely circumvent or bypass them.
    Since I can't go punch Eric Schmitt on the nose for being a nazi prick, and send him the bill for wasting my internet data, I want to stop the collusive programming practices of the people from Mozilla and Google - from operating my computer, contrary to my mandates. i.e. It's my computer and I am paying for my bandwidth." - I have total say so about what I allow to go on, not anyone else.

    If you still have problems you may need to contact the Adobe activation team - see the "Still need help?" link at the end of the document.

  • How to sign into another AIM account?

    I must be missing something obvious, I can't find how to switch AIM accounts in iChat and I can't find the instructions on the Apple support pages.
    I have ichat 4 with Leopard and when I launch it signs into one of my AIM accounts automatically. The other AIM accounts are listed in the preferences under Accounts. However, I can't figure out how to sign into one of the other accounts.
    Can anyone tell me where/how to switch?
    Thanks and happy holiday.

    Hi,
    If in iChat Menu > Preferences > Accounts you list several Accounts/Screen Names then the pane on the right when the Account Info tab is highlighted will have a Box to say "Use this Account".
    This will then log those Accounts in to the relevant Servers at Launch (But read below).
    In the General Section of the Preferences you can set whether iChat Logs Accounts in at Launch or not.
    If you have more than one Buddy List open you can "Hide" the one you don't want by using the Red Button to left of the Window. This will not Quit iChat nor will it Log you out of that Screen Name.
    NOTE: If you Quit iChat with Buddy List Hidden it will Remember this as the Window Position - the same as if you move a Buddy List and Quit iChat - It will be in the same place you left it.
    Use the Window Menu to bring On-line Accounts listed Buddy Lists back into view.

  • Every time I sign into my Macbook, I get an error message from Automator; "The data couldn't be read because it has been corrupted.". I have never created an Automator workflow. How do I find out what Automator is trying to run and stop it?

    Every time I sign into my Macbook, I get an error message from Automator; "The data couldn't be read because it has been corrupted.". I have never created an Automator workflow. How do I find out what Automator is trying to run and stop it?

    Maybe it's set as a login item:
    - System Preferences: Users and Groups:
    - Highlight your user account in the left pane/list
    - Click "Login" tab at the top.
    See if you have an Automater action on the list
    - Note, you can select it, then right-click, and can then select "Reveal in Finder". That way you might have an idea what installed it.

  • My mom, hoping to save some money, signed into her account on my computer to download an app (I forget which one) to save on a disk to add to her computer. Now I'm getting reminders saying to sign into her account to update apps that she has. How to stop?

    My mom, hoping to save some money, signed into her account on my computer to download an app (I forget which one) to save on a disk to add to her computer. Now I'm getting reminders saying to sign into her account to update apps that she has. Can this be stopped? If so, how?

    Try uninstalling the app using this utility > Download AppCleaner for Mac - Uninstall your apps easily. MacUpdate.com
    That will uninstall the app and all the associated files but you still may see the reminder.
    Keep in mind, you can only update apps from the Apple ID they were purchased from.

  • HT5631 I have change my Apple id and now my phone cant sign into i cloud. I dont have the old pas word to delete the old account. It will not stop asking for the icloud id.

    I have change my Apple id and now my phone cant sign into i cloud. I dont have the old pas word to delete the old account. It will not stop asking for the icloud id.

    ALL purchases are permanently associated with whatever Apple ID was used to originally obtain them.  Apps can not be updated without knowledge of that ID and, more importantly, its password.  Apple IDs can not be merged and purchases can not be transferred from one ID to another.

  • Can't sign into my AIM account

    I just credited a $50 gift card to my AOL account, tried to buy an album, and it prompted me for my AOL account and password. Typed them in and... apparently they don't work any more. Tried multiple times with no success... Did I just get robbed of $50?
    I have not forgotten my password/account name. I can sign onto AIM just fine. It's just in iTunes that I'm having a problem.

    I was having the same problem.. I used my Aim email address to access iTunes.. but when i did it said that my AOL account was disabled. and i had to make a new apple ID which was fine.. but when i tried to do that like 50 times it kept saying it was not valid..
    Anyway this might sound silly.. but i wasnt logged on to my AIM.. and when i did , i was able to access itunes and buy songs.. not sure if this would help you but it helped me..
    good luck

  • I signed into iCloud with an email account that I don't have now and can't remember my password changed it with apple but forgot about iCloud aim changing my phone over to virgin but can't back up my stuff. Is their anyway I can change iCloud email at all

    Hi

The problem is i am changing my phone to another provider but need to back up my stuff. Is their anyway I can change the email address? If I can't will I loose all my stuff of my phone it is an iPhone 4s
    Thanks

    Is your phone signed into an old iCloud ID ("email address") and you need to change it to your current ID?  Is so, there is a way around this.
    Otherwise, you can either try resetting your password at https://iforgot.apple.com or by contacting Apple for assistance by going to https://expresslane.apple.com, then click More Products and Services>Apple ID>Other Apple ID Topics>Lost or forgotten Apple ID password, or you can back up your phone to your computer instead.  To do this, connect your phone to your computer, open iTunes and go to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases.  Then go to File>Devices>Back Up.

  • Mac won't start, gives me the kernel stop-sign

    Ok, this is my big big problem..
    One day, i was just doing nothing on my dear computer, starting up firefox or something, then suddenly everything stopped. I couldn't do anything. I forced-restarted the computer with the boot-button. When im trying to start it over again, i get to the white startup-screen with the apple-icon in the middle, with the loading-circle underneath it. After a while, the apple-icon changes to a grey stop sign (picture of it further down).
    So, what have i tried?
    Trying to boot with CD, says i can't install Mac OS, but i can go into the Disk utility, Verify Disk / Repair Disk:

    Checking Journaled HFS Plus volume.

    I have time machine on my external hdd, but when pressing the time machine-button after trying to start with CD, nothing happens.
    When starting the computer holding down SHIFT-button, i get a white screen with black text, and a square saying 'You need to restart your computer. Hold down the Power button until it turns off, then press the Power button again." The black text in the foreground says:

    Ok, so i cant boot the computer with the shift key, just gives me bad error message. Nothing particular is happening while booting with the X-button and i've tried to reset PRAM.
    I really don't know what to do... and my computer is from 2009, has worked pretty good (until now), and i dont have any warranty...
    EDIT:

    There is this Apple Knowledge Base article, which describes your issue:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1892?viewlocale=en_US
    However, it sounds as though you have tried most of what's there. If it won't allow you to reinstall the OS, then there is definitely something amiss with your hard drive.
    Sometimes a third-party disk utility (such as Drive Genius) can repair a drive when Apple's own Disk Utility cannot.
    Good luck with it.

  • The wrong apple ID pops up on my new iPod touch 5th gen. It is asking me to sign into an account that has my friend's email address. She has never even touched this iPod. Why is this happening?

    My son got a 5th gen iPod touch today. We have an established Apple ID from my iPhone and we are able to log into it just fine on the new iPod. After a few hours of use, the iPod started asking him to log into an Apple ID account that he doesn't recognize. It appears to be a gmail address of a friend of mine who has never used any of my Apple products. What is going on and how do I stop it? We have to keep hitting 'cancel' every time it comes up. Thanks!

    Sounds like apps purchased from those accounts got synced to the iPod and it is asking to log into that account to update them.
    - Apps are locked to the account that purchased them.
    - To update apps you have to sign into the account that purchased the apps. If you have apps that need updating purchased from more than one account you have to update them one at a time until the remaining apps were purchased from one account.
    What do yo see if yo go to the Updates Section of the App Store app?
