Hi,
The Little I do know about setting up iChat server as it was called in earlier versions was that it needed something called reverse DNS to be correctly sorted.
I have looked for some in the Lion Server Community

I need help with resetting my ichat. When i try to login now it wont let me... it says "AOL Instant Messenger password" and then "iChat can't log in to ... because your login ID or password is incorrect. How do I reset this if I cant log in? When I try to press online the same thing pops up and I have no way of logging in or asking for help.
Hi,
iChat (it would help to know which version) can accept Apple IDs as valid AIM Screen Names.
However if you have iChat 5 or earlier you cannot use ones ending in @me.com or @icloud.com issued by iCloud. (they can be used in iChat 6 or Messages as these versions make a double login to AIM and Apple to allow the use of the password).
In addition if you are using an Apple ID for an AIM Screen Name the password still needs to keep to the 16 character limit that AIM has.
AN @mac.com name can be used on any version of iChat (Until the 30th June 2014)
As it does not need a double check with Apple you can use it to log in to the AIM Web pages
Login here with an AIM Name registered at AIM or and @mac.com name and see if you get any suspended account messages.
Sometimes account can be suspended. Usually because something has triggered the "Unusual Activity" item.
About a year ago many @mac.com users that travelled out of their own country found themselves suspended when they got home.
If the Name checks out of if an Apple ID the password in known to be 16 characters or Less then do this:-
In Lion upwards open a Finder Window and use the Go Menu whilst holding down the ALT key.
Select the Library that appears in the menu list.
Navigate to Preferences.
(If you have version earlier than Lion the just navigate to ~/Library/Preferences (that's the Library in you Home - Little House icon - folder)
Fnd com.apple.ichat.aim.plist (even if you are using Messages)
Drag the file to the Trash and Restart the app.

I need to find out if SMS Messaging can turn on automatically when my Ipad receives an Update or does a Password have to be entered to do this? IE, when my IPAD SMS is turned on then my Iphone messages can be accessed.
Maybe I used the wrong term for it. Basically, someone recently had my Ipad and somehow turned on my messaging so they could read all of the messages on my Iphone. I would think this the password was used to do this however they advised that the Ipad had an update which then activated the messaging. Can this happen?

I can't log into apple mail with out it asking me for a password.
I can't log into apple mail with out it asking me for a password. It never used to do this. What can I do to be able to send a email without having to type in a password?
Hey it4daddy73,
What mail provider are you currently using (Gmail, iCloud, Yahoo?).
Open up safari and go to that providers website and log into your email.
If you get in than open the mail app and click on mail on the top of the screen, then go down to preferences, click on the accounts tab, and type your password. Close the window and it will save.
If this doesn't work I would even try deleting the account by going into mail/preferences/accounts and clicking the - button in the bottom left corner. Than re add and configure the account by pressing the + button.
Hope this works, and good luck. -
I am setting up my new iphone 5s using a back up from icloud. Problem arises when asked for Apple id and password the second time for store purchases. It shows my old expired Apple id (my old email address). There is no option to change the id and even when I put in the correct password for the old id (used originally) it kicks me out with the message ""Your Apple ID or password is incorrect" .. this is true as my apple id is wrong but I cant change it. Anyone know what I should do. Dont have access to my old deleted email account. Thanks
Hello jwpg,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing after restoring an iCloud backup. I recommend the following articles for an issue like this:
iCloud: "Incorrect Apple ID or Password" alert when setting up iCloud after upgrading to iOS 7
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5207
iOS 7: If you're asked for the password to your previous Apple ID when signing out of iCloud
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5223
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,

Hi, I cannot access my gmail from my iphone. The password is correct and I can access fine from my computer but the iphone keeps telling me the password is incorrect. Any ideas?
I believe Gmail has an option for Two-Step verification that may require a different password for mobile devices than for your computer.

I have another issue now with more dire consequences. I followed the threads and helpful answers to my questions before, and finally restarted my Macbook. As a result, I can't get back in. When I try to log onusing my password, the following message appears:
"you are unable to log in the the user account at this time."...."Logging in to the account failed because and error occurred."
If I try to log on through the admin account it asked me to reset my password for the user account but it does not accept it and basically goes back to the message.
Now what do I do? I realize this happened because of my incompetence in handling this but the worst part is that I do not have a disk.
Any ideas what I can do now??? Thanks in advance.You can get replacement System Install & Restore CD/DVDs from Apple's Customer Support - in the US, (800) 767-2775 - for a nominal S&H fee. You'll need to have the model and/or serial number of your Mac available.

I have used facetime on my mac recently and have not had this problem until today. Facetime seems to have logged out on all of my devices but after putting my password in on my iphone/ipad it is back to normal however my Macbook will not allow me to log in. I also noticed that facetime preferences is grayed and I keep trying to turn facetime on and that is graying out as well. I put in my email and password and I get stuck on "signing in". Or I get past that and I verify my email and password and I get stuck on "verifying" only to get booted back to the sign in page. My OS is up to date, my wifi is on and working and I have no firewall on my home network. I cannot figure out how to fix this. I have tried some previous message troubleshooting such as updating the DNS entry to add 8.8.8.8 and that did not work. I have tried to toggle facetime on and restart but that did not work. I can't delete and reinstall facetime as it is connected to the OS and will not allow you to do that.
I have the same problem. Unfortunately, the troubleshooting link you added has the first step listed as "Verify that FaceTime is enabled in FaceTime > Preferences" which we (the original poster and I) can't do as our Preferences are greyed out. We can't click on them to verify anything.
In FaceTime itself it's verified my apple id (also double checked via the site) and then it says the email is "verified" but then it freezes and after a minute or so it says "Could not verify the email address. Please check your network connection and try again."
After checking the network connection, it still doesn't work. It's rather frustrating as it all worked fine until about a week or two ago.
Any help would be appreciated.

Can't log in (Mac OSx 10.6.6) even after changing the password 8 times!
Not happy.I can't believe how hard it is to get support from Spotify for a service I am paying them for! Having to trawl through chat rooms is not customer care! Basically, I can't log into Spotify even after changing my password. I am at work but the tech bods say it should work fine (always has done until now). I just need someone to let me into the service I am paying for!If anyone see's anyone from Spotify hiding anywhere, please let me know.
If I follow that link you just sent me and use my email address for the username (I don't have/ can't remember my username) and put my password in it doesn't work. If I use my email and password to log in (using the link sent to my email to reset my password) it logs in fine. It doesn't recognise password on the Spotify App

How can i log out of my icloud? i changed email accounts and password
i tried deleting the account but i cant because i need to disable find my iphone and in order to do that, i needed my old emails password. but because that account no longer exits, the password doesnt work so i basically cant delete my account. is there another way?
Go to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https//appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

I recently changed my Apple ID (to my new email address), but my iPhones are still showing my old Apple ID and are asking for my old password. It no longer exists and now I can not add any Apps or get into iCloud because they previous ID no longer exists but that is what is popping up in Apple ID box and I cannot change it on the phone. How do I get my new Apple ID assigned to my phone(s)?
Welcome to the Apple Community.
If it's iCloud that is asking for these details:
This feature has been introduced to make stolen phones useless to those that have stolen them.
However it can also arise when the user has changed their Apple ID details with Apple and not made the same changes to their iCloud account/Find My Phone on their device before upgrading to iOS 7, or if you restore from a previous back up made before you changed your details.
The only solution is to change your Apple ID back to its previous state with Apple at My Apple ID using your current password, you don’t need access to this address if it’s previously been used with your Apple ID, once you have saved these details enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone" and delete the account from your device.
You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, save it once again and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.
This article provides more information about Activation Lock.
If it's iTunes asking for these details:
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iTunes account on your iOS device, you need to sign out from your iOS device first, then sign back in using your updated details. (Settings > iTunes & App store, scroll down and tap your ID)
If you are using iMessages or FaceTime, you will also need to log out and into your ID there too. -

My keyboard went nuts...I got on my MacBook today after not using it for about 24 hours, and the fonts all changed to like Greek. No matter where I am at (web browser, word document, etc). I even went into settings and fonts, and it says it is using Arial or some other standard "Apple" font, but the keys continue to write in Greek.
It gets worse-I logged out thinking I just needed to reboot...but now I cannot get back in because it's still not writing correctly. What's even weired (and I have no idea if this is related or not) but my Capslock Key and my Delete key have like switched roles...ALSO, when I press down the "A" key (as there is an "A" in my password) the keyboard writes it 3 times...even though I only hit it once. SOMEONE HELP ME PLEASE. I am a full-time student and need my computer for homework.
I'm locked out AND if I do get in, the font it still messed up as well as the Delete and Capslock keys...It sounds to me like your keyboard has been damaged and needs to be repaired or replaced. Can you try an external keyboard?

I can't log in to my hotmail account because of third party cookies being disabled
I changed my cookie settings because of a bank site that I needed to use to make an e-deposit. In order to do that, I had to enable 3rd party cookies. After I did that, I can no longer access my hotmail (outlook.com) e-mail account. I can't sign in to my account on Firefox, but I can on IE. Firefox is my default browser and I'd like to be able to sign in. Also, every single site I go to pops up a little window that asks me about accepting cookies.
It sounds as though you have the cookie duration set to "Ask me every time" which is a good way to drive yourself crazy (I used it for years myself). I suggest accepting cookies until you close Firefox. This prevents sites from recognizing you between restarts of Firefox. To make this change, go to:
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Privacy
Please see the attached screen shot.
To allow an individual site to remember you longer, you can customize its permissions. One way is to use the Page Info dialog. While viewing a page on the site you want to have this custom permission, use either:
* right-click and choose View Page Info > Permissions
* Alt+t (open the classic Tools menu) > Page Info > Permissions
Uncheck the "Use default" checkbox and choose "Allow". Then the site should be able to keep you logged in between sessions. This might not take effect until the next time you start Firefox.
Does that help?
