Is there any way of getting iChat without creating a new account?

I have recently bought a macbook pro and are having difficulties with setting up an iChat account.
When I go add an account it gives me options of AIM, me.com, mac.com, google or yahoo however i do not have any of those accounts. Is there a way of setting it up with my existing apple id?
Also, i have version 6

  • My computer broke and I got it fixed. It doesn't say that the hard-drive was replaced, but I can tell my data is gone, including Pages that I bought. Is there any way of getting that without paying for it again?

    Or if you purchased Pages as part of iWork on a disk, reinstall from the same disk.
    Best of luck.

    There is no way that I know of to install iChat because it is not supported in ML. You may want to read a couple of these Threads

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion.
    Use your backup copy to put everything back.
    If for some reason you have failed to backup, not good, then you can redownload some purchases in some countries.

    Unless you have a backup copy or can use the drive from the old computer in an external enclosure, no.

  • Is there any way to get a already created instance of a object?

    Is there any way to get a already created instance of a object not a new intance?
    Is there any way to get the last time that a object instance state has been changed?
    Is there any way to get a clue that a instance is being used?

    Is there any way to get a already created instance of
    a object not a new intance? It sounds like you want a "singleton". Here is a simple example
    public class SingletonObject
        private static SingletonObject ref;
        private SingletonObject()
            // no code req'd, put what is needed
        public static SingletonObject getSingletonObject()
          if (ref == null)
              // it's ok, we can call this constructor
              ref = new SingletonObject();
          return ref;
    }SingletonObject.getSingletonObject() will return you the single instance of SingletonObject. You can only get an instance throught this factory method. new SingletonObject() won't work since the constructor is private.
    Is there any way to get the last time that a object
    instance state has been changed?
    Is there any way to get a clue that a instance is
    being used?Stick methods in SingletonObject and getSingletonObject to keep trace of what you want to.

  • My itunes account was disabled for some reason.  I changed password in iforgot and still didn't work.  I could log in but not make purchases from the store so I set up a new login/account .  Is there any way to move my music to the new account?

    My itunes account was disabled for some reason.  I changed password in iforgot and still didn't work.  I could log in and see my music but not make purchases from the store or even redeem an itunes gift card so I set up a new login/account with another email account of mine. On the new account I can redeem my gift card and download items onto my ipad2.  Is there any way to move my music to the new account?

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try the action that you're having trouble with again. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
    When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.

  • I have an older iMac, Leopard, 10.5.6.  Is there any way to update it without buying a new computer?

    Any way to update this version without buying a new computer?  Extremely slow.

    Gteat, you can upgrade, but the slowness is likely the try 1 GB of RAM, before you upgtade I'd strongly advise maxing the RAM to 6GB...

    You could with more RAM & enough fre Disk s[ace update to 10.6, 10.7, 10.8, or the free 10.9, but first you need get 10.6 to go further, install it & update to 10.6.8 so you have the App Store to buy & download the huge 10.7, 10.8, or 10.9 Installer.
    Snow Leopard/10.6.x Requirements...
    General requirements
       * Mac computer with an Intel processor
        * 1GB of memory (I say 4GB at least, more if you can afford it)
        * 5GB of available disk space (I say 30GB at least)
        * DVD drive for installation
        * Some features require a compatible Internet service provider; fees may apply.
        * Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and terms apply.

  • I have an old shuffle that I created with a different email address that I no longer have. is there a way to add these songs to my new account

    I have an old shuffle that I still use with many songs. I created this account with an old email address that I no longer have. Is there any way to transfer these songs to my new account so I may purchase more songs and still use my shuffle? Thank you!

    Basically, no, but as long as all the music is in the same iTunes library and it doesn't contain protected content from more than five Apple IDs, you don't need to. If desired, click here and ask the iTunes Store staff for assistance.

  • My one year old disabled my iphone 5 so i need to "connect it to itunes" as the screen directs. I know how to do this with my laptop but it says i will be doing a factory reset. is there any way to get my phone open without losing everything?

    Long story short, my one year old disabled my iphone5 and I need to "connect to itunes" as the screen instructs. I went through the steps and it says that I will be doing a factory reset and I will lose everything. Is there any way to get my phone open without losing everything?? I'm mainly concerned about my pictures and videos.

    Once the Device is in Recovery Mode... it is too late to save anything...
    To minimise loss... after the successful Recovery... Restore from the most recent Backup...

  • I have an 06' macbook and I just bought an 07' macbook.. The 06' has os x 10.6 but the 07' has 10.5.. I no longer have the disk for snow leopard. Is there ANY way to get snow leopard from the old computer to the other without having to buy it again?

    I have an 06' macbook and I just bought an 07' macbook.. The 06' has os x 10.6 but the 07' has 10.5.. I no longer have the disk for snow leopard. Is there ANY way to get snow leopard from the old computer to the other without having to buy it again?

    Technical issues aside, there's still a legal issue.
    Neither 2006 nor 2007 MacBooks shipped with Snow Leopard 'factory' installed. OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard became available in September 2009. So you purchased and installed a Snow Leopard upgrade disc on the 2007 system at some point.
    If your Snow Leopard upgrade was a single-user copy, then legally, you need to purchase another one for the second computer. If your Snow Leopard upgrade was a Family Pack 5-user license, then you're good to go.

    If you have an active MobileMe account, Apple was giving away a single-user upgrade copy of Snow Leopard for a limited time, and you should have received an email with a link, or been offered the opportunity when you signed in to your MobileMe account on the web:
    http://www.macrumors.com/2012/04/24/free-snow-leopard-discs-for-mobileme-users-n ow-arriving/
    Worst case, single-user Snow Leopard upgrade discs are $29 retail, direct from Apple. I'd hate to have two computers and no OS installation CD's for whatever version I'm currently using.

    Was the content not synced with a computer previously?  If it was, simply re-sync with that computer.
    Syncing an iDevice to a new computer will do exactly what you describe above as this is not the way to move content to a new computer.
