Is it possible to have unique pictures for different iChat accounts?

Hello -
I am new to Macs and am setting up multiple iChat accounts (Google chat, facebook, work, etc.). However, the work picture seems to be overwriting my picture in Google. Ideally I could have my casual Google picture and my more formal work picture coexist under a single iChat group of accounts.
I haven't found a way to do this yet. Any suggestions?
Messages version 7.0.1
Thanks!

Hi,
Although this was possible in earlier version of iChat it is not possible in Messages.
In earlier Versions you could set up separate Buddy lists (the then default)
At each Buddy List pic you could call down the change drop down and select a Pic.
It could be done for each Buddy list.
In Messages when you do this the Pic changes in all Buddy Lists.
NOTES
Changing the pic this way overrides the normal Choice which is the Contacts (Formerly Address Book) pic.
Changing the Address Book > My Card pic will override the Mac Users Account pic which is the default for that.
Put another way when you create a Mac user Account you get to chose a pic that is shown in the Login list (Also System Preferences > Users and Groups > your account).
This gets pulled to the Contacts/Address Book as the My card is created with your other details.
That is turn is used by Messages (or iChat in Earlier versions)
You can change them so that your have three different Pictures.

    So I basically won't run into any trouble? I
    There should be no issues. Its designed to work like that.  You don't change Apple IDs just because you get a new device.

    Is there any chance that the phones can fall out of sync?
    Unlikely. But nothing is impossible.   Though I don;t see how that would happen. As long as both are signed into the Same Apple ID / iCloud Account they will be N'Sync. (Bad Joke)

    If I get a message or buy an app or take a photo on the iPhone 5, how do I get those things onto the iPhone 6?
    If you buy an App, you have 2 ways to get it to the iPhone6: If Automatic Downloads is enabled in Settings->iTunes & App Store, it will automatically download to the iPhone 6 when you buy it on the 5 and vice versa if you buy it on the 6, it will download to the 5.
    Alternatively, you can simply go to the App Store App->Updates->Purchased and look for the App there and download it. Purchased Apps will not require payment again. i.e They'll be free to download to the iPhone 6 once purchased.
    SMS Messages will sync over using Continuity as long as they are on the same Wifi network. Otherwise, restoring the iPhone 5 backup to the iPhone 6 will transfer all messages received up until the backup was made onto the iPhone 6.
    Images, can be transferred either through Photo Stream
    My Photo Stream FAQ - Apple Support
    Or any Cloud service you want such as Dropbox, or One Drive.

    Also, something i forgot to ask initially: Should I update the iPhone 5 to iOS 8 first or does that not matter?
    If you want the Continuity features as explained above you need to update the iPhone 5 to iOS 8. Otherwise its not all that important.

  • Is it possible to have a form for 2 individuals to complete before submitting?

    Is it possible to have a form for 2 individuals to complete before submitting? The first person will fill out a portion of the form and the second person will fill out the rest of the form and submit.

    You can create a submission-enabled PDF first. Ask the first person to fill out his or her portion of the PDF form and save the file. Send the saved file to the second person and have him or her to fill out the rest of the PDF form and submit.
    To create submission-enabled PDF
    1. Click on the Distribute Tab
    2. Click on the "Save Sumbission-Enabled" PDF button.

  • Can you have two psswords for an Itunes account?

    My kids have i pods. They tell me they need the password I set up for normal use of the i pods. I have had problems with them buying apps they thought where free etc. Is it possible to have one password for purchases and one for normal use and free apps?
    I have to say that trying to reach anyone at Apple for customer support is impossible. I have tried evrything, called, email,web links. Worst customer service set up I have ever seen. Sorry, very frustrated. Impossible to get an actual cus support rep. It is a simple question too.
    Thanks for any advise.

    You cannot have two passwords for one Apple ID. If you set up restrictions - I believe that you can require a password for in app purchases. You can simply restrict app purchases as well with restrictions but that would restrict the downloading of free apps as well.
    Settings>General>Restrictions.

  • Playing jpeg pictures for different amount of time

    hello everyone.
    i'm new to jmf and i have been reading a bit about it. so i tried the sample code at: http://java.sun.com/javase/technologies/desktop/media/jmf/2.1.1/solutions/JpegImagesToMovie.java (THIS WAS VERY HELPFUL)
    this program displays each image for 1 second each.
    now my problem is, i want to display these pictures for different amount of time... for example: display pic1 for 1 second, then display pic2 for 3 sec and so on.
    can anyone help me please. THANKS

    >
    i'm new to jmf ..>The [JMF forum|http://forums.sun.com/forum.jspa?forumID=28] is the best place to ask JMF related questions, but I am guessing you are also new to Java, and to programming, so this forum might be best for the moment.

    java JpegImagesToMovie -w 400 -h  300 -f 1
      -o the.mov pic1.jpg pic2.jpg pic3.jpg..you might instead try..
    java JpegImagesToMovie -w 400 -h  300 -f 1
      -o the.mov pic1.jpg pic2.jpg pic2.jpg pic2.jpg pic3.jpg
    Lines broken for clarity.  Instead have command all in one line.
    This simply repeats the second frame, three times. The .MOV format might 'optimize away' the second and third frame from the final file, but I would not count on it.
    Of course, a far better way to animate images (with transition effects, full control over time, and all the bells and whistles) is to load the images into memory and create the slide show using the Java 2D abilities, mostly found in the Graphics class.

  • Different Notification for different email accounts

    On my old blackberry I was able to set up different number of vibration for my different email account so I would know right away which account the email was on.  Is it possible to do the same on the Z10?

    Hey hinjeyan,
    Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
    Thanks for the question.
    Currently you can not setup notifications for different email accounts on the BlackBerry Z10.  There is no estimated time when this feature will be back.
    Let me know if you have any more questions.
    Cheers.

  • Different signatures for different mail accounts?

    Is it possible to set up a different email signature for different email accounts?
    I have both my business and personal accounts on my iPhone, and would like my business account signature to contain information about the business (contact details etc.) but I don't want the standard 'Sent from my iPhone' on there. Likewise, for personal stuff, I love having the 'Sent from my iPhone' when I email people, it is a good talking point.
    I've only seen the one entry for a signature, which seems to apply to all accounts, but if anyone knows a way of doing this I'd be greatful.
    Thanks.

    One signature is available for all accounts at the present time anyway and having multiple signatures to choose from with the ability to assign a signature to an account is also something I'd like to see since I also access a personal and business email account with my iPhone which isn't my business phone.
    I've provided Apple feedback about this here and I suggest you do the same but this is no guarantee that Apple will incorporate this with a future update since they probably have bigger fish to fry but at least they will receive it and who knows, maybe this is already in the works for a future update.

  • Possible to add apps from two different itunes accounts?

    So my family just purchased an iPad and I was wondering if it was possible to add apps from two different user accounts without paying for them twice? My dad synced it up with his computer so all the apps from his iphone were transfered. I noticed that in the app store for the ipad you can switch between different accounts. If I switched to my username would it allow me to add apps that I've already purchased through my iphone or will I have to pay twice?

    Yes. My grandson did that to me and I had a heck of a time upgrading the apps he loaded because I didn't have his password. I ended up deleting them.

  • [SOLVED] how to use diffrent iptables rules for different ppp account?

    x86 plantform run arch linux system , have two network interface etn1 eth0 .eth1 connect to internet. eth0 connect to other terminals through switch. want use different iptables rules for different pppoe account .also want to know how to forbidden more than one terminals established pppoe link use same account at the same time .

    (You establish PPPoE sessions over the local network to the Arch machine? Which then routes the traffic?)
    first question ,yes that is exactly what i am done. second question i also have a small  scripts on windows pc to solve routes traffic problem
    route -p delete 0.0.0.0
    route -p add 192.168.9.0 mask 255.255.255.0 192.168.9.1
    route -p add 0.0.0.0 mask 0.0.0.0 192.168.22.0
    but after a while i found scripts is not necessary because windows always attempt to use PPPoE sessions as default internet connection local connection is also ok
    and use  -i pppX in my iptables rules dose not  solve my problem , because same account start PPPoE session could be marked as ppp0 or ppp1. it is hard to identified which account start session.
