Installing Jabber after initial iChat setup

When I first opened iChat, I chose not to use or download the Jabber application, but I did choose Bonjour. No I think I want Jabber. Do I need Jabber to chat with people on anything other than iChat (like AIM, yahoo, MSN, etc.)? Is there a way to go in now and choose Jabber through iChat (system preferences, etc.) so I can have it showing in my accounts? My current accounts showing are iChat and Bonjour. I want to have Jabber too. FYI, I'm computer literate, but I am new to Macs (2 months now) so...help.
Thanks,

Hi,
Effectively iChat is an AIM and Jabber Client and has the Ability to chat over Bonjour as well.
If you did not Select JAbber and enter an ID at the Start Up Screen Stage this is no problem.
Once you have a Jabber ID then just open iChat > Preferences > Accounts and select the Add Button at the bottom of the list.
From there you will be asked to choose Jabber or AIM/@mac
Choose the Jabber option and fill in the details you have.
For Further info or at least guidance go a see the first three links here
http://www.ralphjohnsuk.dsl.pipex.com/page5.html
The first is how to Add a Jabber ID.
The Second is how to Add an ID that has Transports (needed to talk to the MSN or Yahoo or other service)
The third is a list of servers and their capabilities.
There is more info on other applications if you are looking to Video chat further down the same page.

  • Install demo applications after initial repository setup

    I did not install the demo applications during the initial install and configuration of 10g. Section 4.1 of the Quick Start guide states to manually run the Repository Wizard to install them after the fact, but it does not display the option to install the demos, it only checks to see if an upgrade is necessary. I can no longer use the original 10.2.0.1 installer because I have already applied the 10.2.0.2 patchset. Is there any way to get the demo applications installed without uninstalling everything and starting over?
    Oracle database Lite 10.2.0.2.0 in iAS 9.0.4
    RHEL3

    Problem solved. I temporarily installed a standalone Mobile Server and copied the ./mobile/server/demos directory to my original iAS installation so I could run the demoinstaller script.

  • Initial ichat setup

    Happy New Year.
    I have taken today to try to install ichat. After some frustration, I checked out the post here and saw that the same problem was being had by others. I tried the solutions proposed in a recent response (deleting the ichat from my library preferences and also making sure that my address was correct. The program does not go into the never ending spinning wheel anymore but it does unexpectedly quit at the very end (when I press done). Any ideas of what to do now??

    Hi Ralph,
    Followed all the instructions to the best of my abilities. I deleted all the various references to ichat (com.apple....). I went to my keychain and deleted reference to the ichat there. I re-entered my password for my computer and eliminated all reference to ichat in my keychains. This did not help. The program did get through all the steps and at the final stage when I have clicked on done, the program quits unexpectedly. The log book showed the following...(which means nothing to me but I thought it may help)

  • Bootcamp install hangs after initial restart

    Am using 10.9 and trying to make a Windows 7 bootcamp partition.  In bootcamp, I had it make the Windows install USB (option one), skipped option 2 this time since every time i have it try to download the support software it fails, and did option 3 to partition the drive for Windows, giving me a bootcamp volume now.  After the partitioning, it restarts, then just sits at the gray screen  you get when the Mac starts up.
    Any ideas what might be happening or how I can see what's going on?

    I honestly don't know but it can't do any harm having them there. You will need them anyway.
    Several people have reported that the download fails for various reasons but they seem to get them eventually. Downloading through Bootcamp also ensures you get the correct drivers for your Mac.

  • Clean install stuck after initial reboot

    So I bought a Sandisk Ultra Plus SDSSDHP-256G-G25 256GB SSD yesterday to use with my Early 2011 Macbook Pro 13" model. I had to do a clean install, so I created a Mountain Lion USB stick to install the OS. The initial installation went fine and it automatically rebooted itself like it is supposed to, but my MBP has been stuck at this installation screen for about 2-3 hours now and I'm unsure what to do. I clean installed Mountain Lion much faster on my old 320GB WD Black hard drive and it doesn't make sense for it to be taking this long. Thanks for the help in advance.

    You could safely install again from stick.

  • HP ENvy110 and eFax login not recognized after initial successful setup

    I successfully set up eFax on my network printer.  Have already sent a fax.
    Yesterday the Envy acted as if I never set up eFax and wanted me to register or login.
    I logged in with my eFax telephone number and pin and they were not recognized.
    I went to my computer and logged into eFax successfully with the same telephone number and pin.
    So, the problem is specific to the network printer.
    Any thoughts on the resolution of this problem?
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    nemccarley,
    This might sound a little bit strange, but it has been known to resolve this issue. Press the ePrint button in the top left and corner of the screen on your printer. When it displays the ePrint information, press "Print Info" or "Print Report". This will usually connect the printer back the correct servers and you should be able to use your information to log back into eFax. If you continue to have issues with this, let me know and we can try some other steps.

  • Where is the account picture stored after initial setup?

    where is the account picture stored after initial setup?

    Are you looking to change the image? If so go to system prefs, go to accounts. You'll see the image that you see at login, by clicking on it you'll be given a drop down with all the images which you can select a different right there. If you go to the root directory in the libray folder you'll see a folder user pictures they are in there. The root directory is the main device on your hardrive, you can open finder and see it listed in the sidebar. Hope this helps!

  • Windows 8.1 unable to start after initial install

    Hi,
    I have been running Windows 8 on my PC (Asus P8H61I motherboard, Intel i3-2120, 8GB RAM) for nearly a year without any trouble.   I upgraded to Windows 8.1N a few months ago.
    Within last few weeks, the PC frequently freezes and crashes.    System Restore initially worked however I decided to buy a new HDD and re-install Windows 8.1 N.
    The install works fine initially however after Windows Update runs, it no longer is able to start up after restart.  It gets as far as the blue Windows icon and then restarts again.    My only options are repair options such as Safe Mode.
    I have tried re-installing and turning off Windows Update however it will be fine after a few hours and then crash again.  So far, using System Restore seems to work, suggesting that it could be a driver issue?   Can you tell me what logging/crash
    dumps i can enable in order to detect which device is causing the failure?
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    For event log, you can launch event viewer, then find error messages under Windows Logs\System, Windows Logs\Application, Applications and Services Logs\Hardware events or Microsoft\Windows.
    For dumps, Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\System\Advanced System settings, under "Startup and Recovery", click "Settings", then check settings there, you can refer to detailed information in the following link
    http://blogs.technet.com/b/askperf/archive/2008/01/08/understanding-crash-dump-files.aspx
    then, upload dumps to a public location such as OneDrive for further analysis. (C:\Windows\Minidump)

  • Anyway to restore from iCloud backup after initial setup?

    I purchased a new 5s today - my old 4s was backed up to iCloud - the store moved my contacts but I guess they skipped the cloud restore part so I don't have any of my apps - is there anyway to restore from cloud backup after initial setup?  I think I can reset it but not sure how to do it and I'm afraid of what it will delete if I reset - please help - I could reload my apps but it won't keep my data right? Thanks

    You should check to make sure that your contacts/information is in your iCloud by logging into iCloud.com. You can also plug your device into iTunes and check when the most recent iCloud backup was before restoring from it.
    If your information is there, then you can go through the activation process again pretty easily by going into Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings.
    Then you can just restore from your iCloud backup.

  • Our Macbook air was lost or stolen shortly after initial setup / registration but  device location was not turned on.  Can MAc ID

    Our Macbook air was lost or stolen shortly after initial setup / registration but  device location was not turned on.  Can MAc ID # be found through email linked during setup ?

    The following has some recommendations from Apple of what to do if Find My Mac was not turned on before it was lost or stolen. The quote is from If your Mac is lost or stolen - Apple Support
    Find My Mac is the only Apple service that can help track or locate a lost Mac. If you didn’t set up Find My Mac before your Mac was lost, or you can’t locate it, these steps might help you protect your data:
    Change your Apple ID password to prevent anyone from accessing your iCloud data or using other services (such as iMessage or iTunes) from your Mac.
    Change your passwords for other accounts you use with your Mac, including email, banking, and social sites like Facebook or Twitter.
    Report your lost or stolen Mac to local law enforcement. They might request the serial number of your computer. You can find this information on the original box or receipt you received when you purchased your Mac, or on Apple's My Support Profile site if you registered your Mac.
