'Messages' logs out my AIM account every 10 minutes, help ??
Since updating to OS X Mountain Lion, my AIM accounts keep logging out and disconnecting, I tried deleting and re-adding the account but there hasn't been any change, has anyone else been experiencing this?
Hi,
I would check the Preferences or Messages and then the Server Settings tab for the AIm Logins you have.
The server should be api.oscar.aol.com and the SSL option is normally On.
There have been issues with the AIM SSL server in the past.
It may pay to try it without SSL and see if there is any difference.
Also Messages will tend to reconnect if the connection gets dropped when not using SSL (SSL has to be manually reconnected for Security purposes).
Previously the iChat App uses the login.oscar.aol.com servers and when using SSL the software would change the server name by adding a leading s (slogin.oscar.aol.com).
This was on port 5190.
You have to Log Out to change any of these settings

I cannot log into messages with my aol/aim account
Hi,
When I try to log into messages with my aol/aim account, it keeps on saying that the username and/or password is incorrect. Neither are incorrect as I can log into the account on the aim web settings page and on the aol page.
Any help?
ThanksIf you change your passord on AOL, for security they block your new password on your iPad but not on your PC. I downloaded the AOL application on my iPad and then used that to change my password on AOL and then my Mail on my iPad fully works. I then used my AOL new password on my PC and now everything works.

How do I log out of one account on iChat and into another?
I want to log out of AIM on ichat and into Skype, how do I do it?
Hi,
In iChat 3, 4 and 5 you can have multiple accounts set up in iChat > Preferences > Accounts.
In iChat 3 it will display one AIM type Name (@mac.com MobileMe or AIM Name) and one Jabber type plus the Bonjour Account if enabled (total of three Buddy Lists) as a Max.
iChat 4 and 5 can sign in (Log in) to as many accounts as you want to, be they ones that log in to the AIM service or ones that use Jabber.
Logging out can be done several ways.
1) iChat > Preferences > Accounts
Select the Account and then Deselect the "Use this Account" option.
2) In the iChat menu again > Accounts
Select any Ticked account and it will log out and remove the tick (Selecting it again toggle it "On" (logged in)
3) Click to highlight, bring to the Front any Buddy list
Click and hold the Status Message
Select Off Line
4) If you have enabled the Menu Bar iCon in the iChat > Preferences > General section then you can also use the Menu Bar icon menu once the Buddy list is the front window.
IF you want to use Skype and IChat at the same time this is possible (you just can't do a Video chat on both at the same time)
You can Quit any app from it's named Menu (i.e the iChat Menu > Quit)
Or Click and hold the DOCK Icon for the App and select Quit.
You cannot use iChat to connect to Skype.

I keep getting an error when trying to update an app- cannot connect to store. I logged out from my account and tried to log back in and got the same error. I am doing all this from my phone since I no longer own a personal computer (only work) since I use iCloud and I tunes match
YAY!!! Saved it in my Mac's Firefox Bookmarks for easy future access!
Hope you are having a lovely afternoon today! I'm about ready to go bobo....I have an early meeting, and I don't want to oversleep! The nice part is that I work remotely, so I only have to wake up 15 minutes or so before the meeting.... I don't even use an alarm clock anymore (really, my iPhone alarm, which is much more pleasant), unless I have to get up at 6:30 or something....
TMI?

Automatic log out of my account
hi -
my powerbook has begun quitting all applications and logging out of my account - all by itself! this usually happens when the computer is left open and I haven't touched it for some time.
no, I have not configured any automatic, timed shut down sequence, and no, it is not family or collegues logging out for me. it also happens when I'm home alone.
has anyone experienced the same?
best,
pryds

My Macbook Pro's iTunes App was logged in as someone else. I logged out of that account and logged into mine, but I found that the app still shows all of the previous account's content. None of my apps, songs, or movies are there! iTunes 12.1.0.50 on OS X Yosemite version 10.10. Why is iCloud doing this, and how do I view my content again?
MacBook Pro / Mozilla Firefox / Netflix / Silverlight Update solved - DON'T DWNLOAD FROM NETFLIX
I solved this problem tonight. I have a MacBook Pro with 10.5.8. I know, it's old. But I love my Netflix and I recently noticed that Firefox plays Netflix much better. Then I suddenly got this message that I needed to download the latest Silverlight - it only takes 30 seconds! - WRONG. However, after much searching, I finally did the steps in order and it worked.
This was after repeatedly downloading Silverlight from the Netflix site without success. So here's what I did:
1. Went to http://www.microsoft.com/getsilverlight/Get-Started/Install/Default.aspx
2. Followed the directions. I felt like such an idiot for not doing it right before.
3. Go to your hard drive and search for "Silverlight" to locate ANY existing Silverlight files: .dmg, etc.
[also check your Libary/ Internet Plug-ins, but the above search is faster]
4. Drag it all to the trash and empty it.
5. Go back to the Get Silverlight page and click on the Install on that page, not the Netflix site.
6. Note the steps for Safari or Mozilla Firefox - I wanted Firefox, so I follwed those instructions.
7. Once it's installed, close all the browsers and Restart that bad boy. Right away.
8. Open a browser, go to Netflix and proceed to joyfully rot your brain with Netflix content. Yay! -
How do you prevent deleting files when you log out of an account on a MacBook
I have set up a new account for my son on my MacBook. I set parental controls. It will not allow him to save files when he logs out. How can I allow him to save files and then keep them when he logs out?
Selecting all does not help - the issue is I need a table within an incoming email to be moved to excel, edited and then pasted back into a new email. "Select All" picks up the email headers, signatures, any messages around the table etc so that doesn't work. Also, as pointed out above Excel doesn't have a select all feature to get the tables back into the body of an email.
I just tried again going from Excel into Outlook 2011. No luck. All one column down the left side of the email. All columns are removed and text crammed into one column. Just to check I cut from one Excel document and pasted into another and it retained all formating just fine. It is only in and out of Outlook that seems to be the issue. -
Computer logs itself into Root account after logging out of admin account
I am experiencing a problem with my laptop logging itself into the root account. I recently started having my computer log itself out of my account if I was inactive for several minutes as a security precaution. However, now I frequently return to find my computer logged out of my account, but logged into the root account. The normal login window that appears when you log out of an account appears over the desktop of the root account. Any ideas how I can stop my computer from logging in like this and making my computer even less secure than it was before?
if you create another administrator account, dose it have the same issue as the managed account? if it dose not, dose any programs open when you login as the new administrator account?

How can I log out that iCloud account without password ?
You can't.
Return the phone to whoever you bought it from and get a refund. Without the previous owners password you will not be able to enter your own iCloud acount, and when you update the phone, you won't be able to re-activate it as it will be locked to the previous owners account.
You should've checked the phone was not locked to someone else's iCloud account BEFORE buying it.

I have aol email set up on my iphone4. Is there a way for me to log out of that account after use, so one one else in my family can read my emails?
Not easily, no. The better solution would be to put a passcode on the phone.

How to log out my itunes account from all devices
i think some one stole my password and is downloading paid apps from it i was just wondering how can i log out of my itunes account in all locations
Why don't you just reset your password? Look here.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HE36
You need to log out of each account on the device itself. On the iPad Settings>Store>Tap your ID. That is not going to prevent someone that knows your ID and password from downloading apps. They are logged into your account on their own devices.
Reset the password. -

Hi Roger
Thank you for your reply.
My original feed is: http://casa-egypt.com/feed/
However, because I modified the feed http://feeds.feedburner.com/imananddinasbroadcast and nothing changed, I redirected it to another feed and then I deleted this feed.
Is there any way to change the feed in itunes? The only feed I have now is http://feeds.feedburner.com/CasaEgyptStation
I tried to restore the feed http://feeds.feedburner.com/imananddinasbroadcast but feedburner refused.
I know that I missed things up but I still have hope in working things out.
Thanks is advance.

If you had installed iOS 7 it would be Activation locked, but I see you only have iOS 5. You do have a backup of you iPad files on your computer or iCloud, don't you?
If the iPad was running iOS 7, the thief/finder will not ever be able to use it.

Also do a search, using the serial number, on your local Craig’s List. Some users list the serial number of a stolen iPad to thwart the sale of a stolen device.
