Using other account on ichat

I had registered on ichat with mac account, but then I was wondering to use my gmail account. but how do I change the account ?.

Once you've opened iChat, click on iChat, then Preferences, then the accounts tab. You should be able to add and delete accounts there

How to use two accounts in ichat?

How to use two accounts in ichat? Is it possible?
Currently I am using an account of Gmail but I want to add another account [email protected] (it is also an account of Gmail).

You can define one as a "Before" or "After" method if that is usable for you. (defined in tab Methods for Activity steps)
Otherwise there is also the step flag "Advance with dialog" (tab Details on Activity steps, but the tab it is found on depends on your version) which allows one user to seamlessly execute two consecutive tasks.
So depending on your real need there may be several options available. If all that is needed is that the same user can execute the two tasks then Advance with Dialog is perhaps the best choice. If the user then cancels execution of the second activity the work item is available for execution. If you define an After method and the user cancels execution the work item has still been completed since its (main) method has been completed.

Use Google Account in iChat ?

I have signed up to a Google account (don't mix this up with Gmail account) using my .me.com email which i would like to use in Google Talk, i can signin using my web broswer and accept friends as well as chat.
I am trying to add this to iChat and tried a number of times it does not let me sign in when i add the account via iChat. The eaisest thing is possibly just to sign up to a Gmail account but we all know what Gmails availablilty is like and that means signing up to an account something like [email protected] I would like to use on email for everything and I've spent hours scrolling through web forums to try and find the answer. I am thinking there must be a way as in Google's blog it did say that google talk is now availble to non Gmail users.
I have also tried signing in to iChat with an old Gmail account and it works no problems....
So my question is it possble to use iChat using a Google Account that i created using my me.com email address?
Really noping someone can provide me the answer

Hi,
People that have
[email protected]
as their Buddy name are likely to be runniing a Jabber server.
iChat can join the AIM Service with valid AIM Screen Names.
These can come from a variety of sources:-
AIM (In fact any Company that AOL owned that offered an Name at one stage, such as Netscape, Compuserve 2000 AOL and AIM itself)
Apple IDs ending in either @mac.com or @me.com (Passwords need to be 16 characters of less. Later iCloud issued @me.com names only work in iChat 6 or later )
Email IDs from ISPs that have an agreement with AIM like Apple do.
Note: You can actually register any other email at AIM - and use an @googlemail.com name if you wished (or a Hotmail one and so on).
Jabber Service Names come from server.
Lets take Jabber Australia as an Example.
You register a Name (simplyliam) and you become [email protected]
There are many Public Jabber servers as you can see in this List
Essentailly you become the [email protected]
Both Facebook and Google run a Jabber server. Both need you to enable Talk or Chat in your account settings in each site.
Note: Google only do this Publically for their Mail Account names (i.e the names can be used in other apps like iChat/Messages)
Google also do not stick to the naming format (their server name is talk.google.com) which is why it is a separate entry in iChat.
You can add Buddies that are AIM valid to an AIM valid Buddy List.
You can add Buddies that are valid over Jabber to the Jabber/Google/Facebook name List.
Although the naming formats for both include email looking IDs and will therefore be accepted in a List the Buddy will always look Off lline.
NOTE: I have seen cases where people have registered their GoogleMail ID was an AIM Name and they appear as AIM Buddies (I have also seen Hotmail email names registered the same way even though they are also MSN names).
It is so long ago that I set up my Google mail account I am not sure what email I may have used as a secondary contact address or Confirmation email address.
(EDIT:- I looked it up and it was a dial-up account I had before that).
As I said before, at one time you could add other types of Google account by entering them as a plain Jabber Account and then changing the server name in the iChat > Preferences > Accounts > Server settings tab to google.com
This has not worked for about a year.
So there is no way to Login to GoogleTalk without it being a GoogleMail name (No matter what ID was used to create it.)
There is also no way to have the @me.com name appear instead of the Google name. (well, unless you typed in that your first name was simplyliam and your last name was @me.com when you set the account up).
Whist a Google Name of any sort that looks like an email ID can be registered at AIM as a Screen Name it will mean that the name is an AIM Name and still would not be able to directly contact Jabber/Google/Facebook Buddies in iChat.
I have tried to show with examples that what you wnat is not possible.
However the broad way AIM allow other Email IDs to be used /registered as AIM valid names can supply a sort of work around in one direction (getting everyone on AIM) it does not work in ther direction you seem to want it (Somehow to use either a Non Googlemail Name or a AIM name over Google/Jabber).
Although this may not be the answer you wanted I hope I have been clear enough.

My iphone 5 using other account, now i would like to change another apple ID. May i know how to change it?

sir,
im using iphone 5 & using other apple ID, but now, i would like to change another apple ID on my phone. may i know, how to change it & what is the procedure?

Go to Settings > iTunes & App Stores. Tap on the Apple ID, choose to sign out, then sign in with a different Apple ID.
Go to Settings > iCloud. Do the same thing there.... Or, I think you may have to 'Delete Account', but choose to keep the data on the phone.

Why does Apple ask me to use "other account"?

When I try to download updates, get message that I "have updates available for other accounts. To update this application, sign in to the account you used to purchase it." WHAT are they talking about? I've only ever had one account, though several Apple computers. Never encountered this before putting iOS 7 on iPad...... Now I can't update anything, and no longer have either App Store, or iTunes on iPad. Have Lion on 2008 MacBook Pro, and on Mac Mini. Have tried all the restart/ resets. Totally stuck.

It's not clear if your problem is with the iPad or one or both of your Macs. If it's the Macs, that response will sometimes occur if Spotlight is not indexing your boot disk or the index is corrupted. If it isn't already in there, include your boot drive in the Privacy panel of Spotlight Preferences, close Preferences, open it again, and delete your boot drive from the Privacy list. That forces reindexing. Be aware that that will take some time to complete and may still not solve your problem.

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

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.

Using video with Google Talk account in iChat

Hello,
Is is possible to use video chat with a Google Talk account in iChat? I am able to tect chat, but cannot seem to connect to video with other (PC) users.
Cheers,
Candice

Hi
Have you got a AIM or .mac account
You can use iChat to talk(video) a PC on AIM, The PC must be using AIM6.1 http://www.aim.com/getaim/win/latestwin.adp?aolp=
Or Skype.
Mac version http://www.skype.com/intl/en-gb/download/skype/macosx/
PC version http://www.skype.com/intl/en-gb/download/skype/windows/

Can you use any email account with iChat?

It appears that iChat allows you to add other other email accounts other than AOL or MobileMe but can you chat using these accounts and can you screen share etc with non MobileMe users?
Message was edited by: Peter O'Toole

Hi,
The answer is yes but your question is wrong.
The AIM page for Registration now allows you to use any Email ID as a Screen Name.
AIM has long done this for the Apple IDs of [email protected] and the MobileMe type email IDs of [email protected]
They have also done it for other ISPs in the past as well
More recently I have had someone test with me having used a Hotmail ID in the AIM Registration process.
Jabber IDs look like email IDs and in the case of the GoogleTalk option they can be.
As long as the Screen Name works in one of your Buddy lists it will be valid And if they are an iChat user with iChat 4 or above then they will be able to Screen Share.
NOTES:
Screen Sharing in iChat uses a Random port so any router or modem that routes need to be able to use UPnP or Port Mapping Protocol to open the ports or it will not work.

Use one account for apps and other for itunes match

Hello everybody
My question today is quite simple. I use one account for apps and tv shows, but inwant to use a different itunes account for purchasing itunes match. How can I use them both on my devices? Will it be asking for my user-pass each time i play a song? What other thing should i consider?
Thank you in advance

I would strongly recommend you not do this. You will regret it.
I have played with this issue a lot. You have to remain signed into match in order for it to show up on your phone. If you sign out to purchase an app or redownload one from your appstore id you use then match will be removed from your phone and when you go into your music app the icloud will not be there. You then have to go sign back out of the store id you used for your app purchase and then sign back into match and everything will have to go though the download to your device process again. This really is not what you want to do.
Sign up to match with the apple id that you know you will use the most or has the most purchased items and use that for all purchases, i.e. books, apps, movies, and music. You don't want to go though the other process.
Plus apple will start not letting you sign into match because you signed out and back in, in to short a period of time.
all store purchases on an iphone are linked to the store id. if you sign out of your match id on the appstore and sign into another account to purchase an app then itunes match will sign out in the music app. You can't have two store id's signed into your iphone at the same time. They are all linked together.

Two apple I.D., one with the .me email address I want, how can I delete it so that I can use that .me address on my other account?

I have two apple I.D., one with the .me email address I want, how can I delete it so that I can use that .me address on my other account
Or is it possible to transfer the purchases (apps) to my new .me account so that I can re-download them in the future without having to switch accounts?

You can't do this, and you can't transfer purchases between accounts. There is no conflict about using one ID for iTunes, iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match (the ID you've been using for iTunes) and using the other ID for iCloud.

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.

I am unable to redeem iTunes cards from my iPhone 5 or my PC using my account. I am able to use mmy PC to access and purchase from other's accounts. I get a temporary unavilable to redeem message or an iTunes unknown 5002 error.

My iPhone 5 and my PC (Windows 7) will not allow me to redeem cards or make purchases. I get an unknown iTunes error 5002 on the PC and when using the iPhone it goes blank after a code is entered and does not return. It recovers when the home button is pressed. The software is up to date and this has been tried by USB and Wi-Fi from different netwroks. This matter has persisted for more than five days without a resolution from Apple support. The same PC allows purchases from iTunes from other accounts belonging to others who use the same PC with their IOS devices (iPhone 5, iPod Touch, iPod Shuffle).

Hello jaybearden,
Thanks for the question. After reviewing your post, it sounds like you are not able to restore the iOS device since you get an error 9. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.
Resolve iOS update and restore errors - Apple Support
Check your security software
Related errors: 2, 4, 6, 9, 1000, 1611, 9006. Sometimes security software can prevent your device from communicating with either the Apple update server or with your device.
Check your security software and settings to make sure that they aren't preventing a connection to the Apple servers.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Have a nice day,
Mario

I used a different iTunes account on my phone to download apps. Now I have my own, but the apps i downloaded on the other account won't update.

iTunes keeps asking me for the password of the other account, but it doesnt exist anymore because my daughter changed her account. How do I get my apps to download on MY account?

The problem is that you do not own the apps purchased under any account other than your own.
You could potentially use the apps from another account, but you will not be able to update them on your iPhone. The best way to try to use those apps would be to use iTunes on your computer to sync your iPhone (and hold all the apps), then, in iTunes on your computer, do Store > Authorize This Computer from iTunes' menu and enter the other account's Apple ID and password.
