Ichat with msn account

I have heard that ichat can be used with my msn account. Is this true? And if it is, what do I have to make it work.

At the moment no. If yu want to use the isight with msn use amsn.sourceforge.net
Bear in mind though that amsn doesn't support audio. For a full featured isight usage without going through ichat you need the skype video preview (http://www.skype.com/download/skype/macosx/videopreview.html). But it's not msn!

Can two peeps use iChat with different accounts on the same computer?

What do I do to REMOVE an old AIM account and replace it with a new account in IChat?

(Actually, two people share a laptop, but one of us cannot use her AIM account cuz mine is in iChat already... And, when traveling, I have the computer - and I would like to use iChat on the computer...)

In iChat 4 you can have more than one AIM Valid name logged in at once.
AIM valid = AIM, @mac.com or a MobileMe name.
What you are then stuck with is that iChat is linked to one Buddy Picture and The one Mac User Account's Address Book which may or may not have Full Names, emails details, or a Nickname in iChat 4 linked to the Screen Names.
Whilst it does let you both log in whilst using one Mac User Account there are drawbacks about who uses the keyboard and reading meesages from the other persons Buddies.

Can't use Calendar: Access to account "iCloud" is not permitted.

I recently have been experiencing this error:
The server responded with an error.
Access to account “iCloud” is not permitted.
The server responded:
“403”
to operation CalDAVAccountRefreshQueueableOperation.
It occurs repeatedly every two seconds and I can't get the dialog to dismiss or go away. My calendars work on fine on my iPhone 6 and iPad mini but on the mac, it gives this error. I tried creating a new user account on the mac, starting fresh but as soon as I log into iCloud and then open calendar, the dialog is back. I suspect there is something wrong on the server site of things. I had some fradulent charges on my iCloud account that Apple cleared up for me. Then they disabled my account (I guess this is something they do when a dispute occurs) and I've had to contact them twice to get them to clear it up. This error started to appear around the same time. I also tried to update to Yosemite but that didn't fix it either. I've deleted all my calendars and created a new one via iCloud.com. Still there. I've found some others online who have had the same issue without success. Is there any hope to get the calendar working again? Help!?

Alex,
Quit Calendar, turn off your internet connection, then paste this text ~/Library into the Finder Menu>Go>Go to Folder...window and select "Go." This will open the Users Library Folder.
Open the Calendars Folder which is in that Library Folder, and move any any files with "Cache" listed in the name field to your Desktop.
Next open the Preferences Folder in that same Library Folder and move the com.apple.iCal.plist file to the Desktop.
Log out/in or restart reconnect the internet and open Calendar.

My ex has my Apple TV, he refuses to give it back. Will changing my Apple ID password ensure he won't be able to use or access my account?

I do not have access to this Apple TV and I have no way of finding out if me changing my password has worked.

Change the password to something the ex will not be able to guess.
At that point they will either have to stop using it or sign up for their own Apple ID to use the device.
Home Sharing is irrelevant unless they are on the same local network.

Old: iChat and MSN

Hello guys!
Well, this is an old one, but it may be good for us MSN users around the world. With Lion, Apple says that:
"Service plug-ins
Service plug-ins from third-party developers let you add new chat services to iChat. And plug-ins run in a separate process to help ensure that they won’t damage your system."
So my question is, are there any of these plugins already developed (that's what the developer previews are for, right?) and ready to use in Lion? I've searched with no success, and I'd really love to use iChat with MSN (please don't suggest alternatives such as Addium and stuff, I hate those).
Hope you can help!
Thanks,
F

Hi,
Growl is installed in Leopard and Show Leopard if you Install Chax ( an iChat Add On that does allow an All Contacts list (up to you to create Service based "Groups)
However the current version of Chax does not work in Lion.
Growl can be obtained other ways and they may have already written a Lion Version (Intel Only)
It has taken from iChat 3 when Jabber (And therefore Google) was Added until Lion and iChat 6 to get Yahoo.
We may be waiting until iChat 9

Can I use my msn account with ichat?

I tried to connect to my msn account via Jabber, but the connection to the host : "hotmail.com" failed!
What happened?
Its the same thing for a google talk account!!!
( I didn't try with an AIM account because I don't have one but i think it should be the same )
Just an other question : do all Mac owners have an @me.com adresse and how to obtain it?
Last question : can we use Skype accounts with ichat?
Thank you all

Do I need an AIM or Yahoo account to use iChat?

I'm using OS X 10.6.1. I'd like to use iChat for communicating with people that use AIM and Yahoo (some also use MSN). I don't have any of those accounts. I've tried getting an AIM account but never receive any activation email from them.
Once I have, say, an AIM account, what else needs to occur so I can add AIM and Yahoo friends?

Hi,
Where are you asking AIM to send the confirmation email ?
I am reading this that you asked it to go to the AIM name you were setting up Email address. i.e the same name you were setting up.
To read Mail at AIM you need to have confirmed the Screen Name. to do this you need to be able to access the Email account now. .i.e you can not access an account you have not confirmed yet.
Therefore the Confirmation email needs to go to another email account (whether you access that On line in a web page like GoogleMail or using a Mail application).
It sounds a bit like you have asked a landlord to post you the keys to your new house - at the address of the new house - before you have moved in. (with the British postal service this means they would be pushed through the Letterbox in the front door)
Can you confirm that it is going to a separate email address that you can read other mail in ?

Hotmail/MSN Account on iChat??

I've been using Adium for my hotmail/msn email account because I didn't like the program Microsoft supplied (Microsoft Messenger), but then I switched to aMSN because that let you have a personal message and view other people's personal message. So I like Adium and wish that it had MSN personal message support, and I dont like aMSN's grapical design.
_*Can you use iChat as a Microsoft Messenger alternative, (like Adium and aMSN)????*_
+I have tried but I cant figure out how to do it...+
Thanks for the help,

MSN Account on Ichat

Hey guys,
I am running a MSN account using gmail. Is there anyway to use Ichat to talk to all my contacts on normal MSN Messenger (There has not been a release for MSN Messenger for Mac 10.5 yet and the older one has flaws).
Thanks

is it possible to set up a jabber on a PC, then use it to setup Ichat on a Mac?
i'm finding it rather difficult to setup a jabber thing, and all the support on the internet is all for the PC based versions of PSI

Hi. I am using a time capsule for few PC s. I have made 5 different account to access time capsule. but in windows when i enter account name and password for one account, i cannot access other accounts, because windows saves username

Hi. I am using a time capsule for few PC s. I have made 5 different account to access time capsule. but in windows when I enter account name and password for one account, i cannot access other accounts, because windows saves username. how can i prevent this from happenning. I really need to access all my accounts and dont want it to save automaticlly.

Why have 5 accounts if you need to access all of them.. just have one account?
Sorry I cannot follow why you would even use the PC to control the Time Capsule. Apple have not kept the Windows version of the utility up to date.. so they keep making it harder and harder to run windows with apple routers.

How do I get messages to go back to an AIM account? It's only seeing the iPad's Facetime email address and not seeing the old AIM account name that is on my desktop. I am using my iMac using iChat to talk to a newer iMac that doesn't have iChat.

How do I get messages to go back to an AIM account? It's only seeing the iPad's Facetime email address and not seeing the old AIM account name that is on my desktop. I am using my iMac using iChat to talk to a newer iMac that doesn't have iChat. We had this working using Messages and Facetime (on the new machine) talking to my existing iChat account. One day last week, when Facetime rang, my kids answered on the iPad. Dang! Now it's all fouled up! The new iMac won't see my AIM account name and shows that I'm offline, because the iPad is off. We were able to call using "most recent call" in Facetime, but now I can't go and control that new iMac remotely to help with some email concerns the user is having. I'm trying to not personalize this too much, but it's grandkids talking to Grandma and Mom and Dad trying to solve new machine hiccups. Normally, I could just go in via iChat and control the other machine and troubleshoot, but I can't do it with Facetime only. My buddy list doesn't see the other computer even though we are connected on Facetime right now. My name is not highlighted for the other computer. What could have gone so wrong?
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,
I would guess this is an AIM valid Screen Name such as an Apple issued @mac.com account.
I would also guess you travel to other countries.
There have been several posts about @mac.com names and people who travel and use their Screen Name elsewhere having the name Suspended.
Can you Log in here https://settings.aim.com/ ?
Is this where you saw the Suspended message ?
For AIM issued name the answer is to change your Password as this tends to prove you own the account.
This does not work for Apple IDs used as AIM Valid Screen Names as AIM can't tell when the password is changed (They can only see it when you log in)
AIM's Suspended Account page has an email ([email protected]) on it to contact if your account remains Suspended.
However you need to be very clear that you have an Apple Issued Name and that you know that resetting the password that works for AIM Names and that you would like them to reset the account.
More recently this has been a sticking point. It seems the Contact you get does not always know about the agreement that AIM recognises Apple Issued IDs as Valid Screen Names and that the AIM servers can only view the passwords at specific times (or at least confirm them) so you changing it will make no difference and that they have to step in manually.

The Facebook app on my iPad will not let me access my account. I was recently married so my Facebook name changed and I updated my password. Now when I go into Facebook under settings and try to access my account it is still using the old name.

I got married, changed my Facebook name and gave my account a new password. Now, under settings and Facebook they have my ITunes/Apple ID and under it says "please sign in using (my old Facebook name) and under that is password. Only that old Facebook name has changed but did not update on my iPad settings. Also it will not accept my new password. I cannot erase it. If Apple doesnt want us to use more than one account, what do we do in this situation? Or if our Facebook gets hacked and becomes compromised? This is not okay. I have to be able to access this and because it will accept only one and will not update changes I cannot longer access my account. I buy a lot of Apple products. I won't buy another if it's not corrected. This is horribly frustrating. Not to mention waiting on youtube videos to load is almost as bad as waiting on dial-up. But that's another matter. Is there a way around this or do I need to start looking for products somewhere else? Anyone know? Thanks.

You need to reset the password for the "old" account, and then use that to turn off iCloud. Then you will be able to sign in with your new ID.
You can reset your password at iForgot.apple.com.
If you don't know the answers to the security questions, you will need to start there.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312
-If you established a rescue email address, there will be a link on the "Passwords & Security" page of id.apple.com. Clicking the link will send the reset to your rescue email address (NOTE: This is not the same address as your Apple ID email)
-If there is no link on the page, then you didn't establish a rescue email address. Contact AppleCare at 800.694.7466 (If you are in the US), and ask for account security. You will need to answer some questions to verify your identity, AND you will need access to a computer to generate a temporary support pin.
