.Mac account delete and msn in iChat?

Hello
A while back I created a .Mac account through iChat now I don't use it at all. Is there a way to delete this? Also I was wondering is there any other way besides psi jabber to use msn in iChat? Thanks.

Hi,
In iChat > Preferences > Accounts highlight the unwanted account then use the - button at the bottom.
This deletes it from iChat.
The blurb on MobileMe Terms of Use does say that you can notify Apple about having a name deleted at their end. (All @Mac.com things seem to point to MobileMe on this matter)
However there is no link.
I even asked the Hosts here at Discussions and they said they would look in to it but other than that I got no new information.
So on this front you can delete it from iChat but there seems to be no way to get Apple to delete it.
On the MSN through iChat. There is no way other than using a Third Party App to be able to Register with the required Transport.
Psi is one such Third Party App.
In fact doing a Google search It is the only listed on the first page.
Adium and ProteusX will allow you to set up Jabber, AIM and MSN Buddies in the same list (Multi-Service apps) but only for text Chatting.

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

.Mac account delete from iPhone doesn't remove from .Mac ?

When I remove an email from the iPhone and do a send and receive it doesn't update the .Mac account that the email has been deleted ? Anyone else suffering this may not just be related to .Mac email ??
Pete

pete_franks,
Is the Mac accessing the .Mac account as a IMAP account?
If accessing it as POP3 then items won't update.
I personally use my .Mac account on 2 Macs, 1 Windows-based PC, .Mac webmail, and the iPhone, and items do get marked as pending deletion.
Are you using Mail.app on the Mac to access the .Mac account? If so you may have it set to show messages that are pending deletion, but haven't been purged from the .Mac mailbox. Pending deletion is a feature of .Mac to prevent accidentally deleting messages. For example if you are going along deleting items on your home computer, and delete a business document you need. With the "pending deletion" status, it is possible to recover that message at work, or through the Trash can on the iPhone. There are two possible ways to resolve this:
First option is to set Mail.app to store Trash on the server. In which case it will show messages that are pending deletion in the Trash. This is similar to how the iPhone treats pending deletion messages.
Second option is to go to the View menu, and choose "Hide Deleted Messages".
If you are using Entourage, and accessing your .Mac account with IMAP. There is an option to hide deleted messages in preferences, otherwise they will show up with a line through them.
Hope this helps,
Nathan C.

Skype account deletion and no support available.

Hi, i am trying to delete skype account, i have filled up dummy texts in my profile as shown in the support page of how to delete account.and the answer tell me to contact skype support for further actions, but there are only two options on support page, "skype community" and "chat". Community shows me the same procedure and when i open chat, no one from skype comes online to chat, when i try to text in chat, it says You are not currently in a chat session. I tried 4 times and I waited for 15 minutes everytime but no one comes online. Can anyone tell me the exact way to contact skype for account deletion?

Hi, Pistachioqwerty and Mitaveliki,
I am sorry to read of your experiences in contacting Skype Customer Service. Please post back with the details of which web browsers you used in your attempts to contact Customer Service as well as which mobile device or computer you used and its operating system. More importantly, please indicate the steps you took (what you clicked on, exactly) and at which point in the process your progress was halted.
If you can provide screen shots, particularly if error messages are displayed, that would be most helpful. Please ensure no personally identifiable information is revealed when you upload your screen shots here.
Thank you in advance,
Elaine

Hi,
I'm having problems with my itunes syncing with my devices. I tried it with my old iphone 4 and now my iphone 5S.
When I plug the phone in, the computer recognises it as it starts to charge, but it doesn't get picked up by itunes.
I've tried repairing my itunes account, and deleting and reinstalling it.
Can anyone help?
Thanks,

Mac i-chat and MSN

Hello everyone,
I know I'm lazy and this has probably already been answered somewhere in this forum, but I can't be bothered spending ages searching for it. Why is i-Chat not compatible directly with MSN. Let's face it, no really uses ichat in the big wide world. MSN is the standard. Is there a reason why MSN hasn't been updated for Macs to include the audio and video functions that the Windows versions have had for ages? What's the easiest and free way of chatting video/audio with all my friends that use MSN? Any help would be much appreciated.
Many thanks,
Nick.

I think the real interesting question here is when the heck Microsoft is going to release a new version of MSN for mac?
I mean, how ridiculously old isn't the current version (v. 5.whatever)??
And AMSN is definitely a candidate for the award of "the lousiest GUI ever made". All the windows are scattered everywhere, it's slow, the contents within the windows doesn't seem to follow any particular order... sigh
However, since someone apparently managed to make an application that can actually communicate with PC users of MSN with both text and video, one would think that it shouldn't be too hard for Microsoft to release an official version that does the same thing. But no. They just lack the will of doing so as they just have to see everything from their making-the-computer-industry-into-our-own-little-monopoly point of view.
I tried the Skype beta-version that supports webcam between Mac and PC and it worked pretty nice! However you could tell that it was still a beta as the video window was quite small on the mac, and on the PC some sort of special "video window" had to open up. Hopefully it won't look like that in the final release!
Back to MSN again though... Has anyone heard anything about Microsoft planning to release at least the lowest version of MSN that supports webcam?

OOPS - POP account Deleted AND all local messages

Well, NOW I find out that when you delete your POP account from your MAIL preference, all the messages from that account go bye-bye. Guess I am too used to the IBM world and MS Office that hangs on to your messages even if the mail server account goes away.
SO, is there any magic pill I can give my Mac to recover/find all these messages?
The server account is GONE and there are no messages on any server. All I have is the knowledge that there were 600 INBOX messages waiting for archiving reaching back to 2005 that are no longer visible from my mail box, and knowing that the computer took a good amount of time to eliminate that mail account when it got deleted.
Any Doctors/pharmacists with a perscription out there? Thanks ! Jim K.

If the messages are not on the server and you don’t have a backup (which you should have made before doing something like that), you may try to salvage as many deleted *.emlx files as possible with a data recovery tool such as Data Rescue II, TechTool Pro, or FileSalvage (the files to be recovered would be different in the case of Mail 1.x). Of these, the only one I know for sure that can currently recover deleted *.emlx files is FileSalvage. Stop using your computer right now if you want to try that, as anything you do with the computer may cause the deleted files to be overwritten.

Firefox Sync Account Deleted and unable to create new

My Firefox sync was working fine, until my Firefox for Android, started acting up, and I had to reinstall it. When I tried to set up sync again, it asked for a recovery key, which I didn't have (I know, I'm sorry). Getting the data is not a big deal for me, as my desktop Firefox is still alive and well, so this is where I didn my big mistake. I deleted my sync account. Now I am unable to create a new sync account using that email address, as Sync says, Account already in use. I have deleted it and confirmed in the web portal where it says username/email was not recognised. Please help. I need to set this up. I am reluctant to use a different email account, as all my details are tied in with this one, and I have been using this forever.
Firefox Version: 17
Firefox for Android Version: I don't know, but the latest one, as of 28/11

That's the problem. I have deleted the account and hence am not able to access it anymore. I tried resetting and it says account does not exist. But when I try to create a new sync account it says account already exists. All I want is to be able to create a new sync account using the same email

Account Deletion and Messages

Hi, I sorta messed up and i want some messages gone. If i delete my skype account will the person lose the messages? Cause I know if i delete the logs they'll still have their own logs. Help?

Nothing what you are doing on your computer will remove your messages from your friends computers.

Mail account deleted and lost emails

It happens, especially just switching from MS windows. Maybe the warning just unreadable as any other dialog box.
And if I read some forums, this problem is always happen, why did the developers of Mail.app do nothing with it?
Can anyone recommended any other good mail application?
Thanks in advance,

Using my .mac account on iChat AV (problems)

Hi, I've been using iChat AV with my .mac account since december, and it was all fine 'til some weeks ago.
From the end of may 2006 I have many problems using my .mac account in iChat AV.
Sometimes I can connect, but usually I can't connect! And the problem is the same on my iMac G5, on my old iBook G4 12" 1.33, and on my new MacBook 1.83...
When I try to enter with a AIM account it's fine and I connect!
But all my friends have my .mac account and I want to use it!
Can anyone help me?
P.S. I tried to use programs like adiumX, but I still have the same connection problem using my .mac account! And I still pay for it!!!!

Hi maurizio79,
Every now and then AIM sort out what they think are unused account names and make them available again.
Whilst they are doing this there are often problems with .mac names for some reason.
After the period that lots of people were having problems, there have been cases of invidual .mac users who have problems.
The solution is to speak to .mac and ask them to look into it.

ICHAT NEWBIE--ONE .MAC ACCOUNT; TWO PARENTS

Hi all,
I am separated from my family and we bought two iSight cameras and hoped to use iChat AV to keep in touch. We have a full .Mac account, and I thought that the 'multiple logins' feature would allow us to both logon and do video chat. But this doesn't seem to work. We can both see ourselves, but cannot invite each other to 'chat'.
Any advice on how to fix this is highly appreciated.
Jim

Hi Janes,
iChat 2.x could by defualt allow you to use the screen nmae on multiple computers in different locations amd text chat.
It would not let your do Video chats (or Audio ) only chats.
iChat 3.0 through 3.0.1 did not allow multiple logins.
iChat 3.1 does givee you the option of Mutiple logins but you will still be able to onlt Text chat with that.
You will need a separate screen name either a Trial .mac account which will work in iChat afteer the 60 days or an AIM name.
Links to both access points are on this page http://www.apple.com/support/mac101/work/11/

A copy of Firefox is already open. Only one copy of Firefox can be open at a time. I cannot find the open one. was having some problems. deleted and trying to re-install. I get this message each time

Some web pages did not load correctly. (on Imac). Deleted Firefox and moved Profile to another drive to backup.
Downloaded new Firefox. When I try to install, I keep getting this message-"A copy of Firefox is already open. Only one copy of Firefox can be open at a time."
I went in and searched for all occurrences of Firefox or Mozilla and deleted.
It will still not load.

I cannot get Firefox to run now. I backed up my Profile to another drive. Cannot create a new one as Firefox will not run. It says there is another copy running. However, I have deleted all Firefox and Mozilla files and downloaded new. When I try to run it, I get the message to close Firefox as two cannot run at once.
I did create a new Mac account logon and can run Firefox there, so something in the other account is showing Firefox is running.
I also checked in ACTIVITY MONITOR and in SETUP and there is no Firefox or Mozilla running.
So, where can this bug be hiding????
