What is my informate profile and what happens what it expires?

I don't know what to do about my almost expired informate profile. I'm not even sure what it is. I don't ever recall setting in up.

Hi,
If you add other accounts to the Messages app after activating the iMessages account then by default (if you don't name them in the Description box) that take the name of the Service they join up to the point you have a second AIM valid Name or a second Jabber valid Name.
In My List my accounts are Named in the Description Box
AIM is Aol Instant Messenger  so the Add Screen Shows AOL.  You will see in the right hand pane under Account Info it says it is AIM.
You will see in the list several others are also AIM Valid accounts.
If you don't Name them yourself  then the account info is used (like the iMessages one) when you have two or more for that service.
Google and Facebook run Jabber servers.
They are unlikely to work with a Hotmail ID (which is MSN and not Native to the Messages app).
You seem to have Added an Account as Google and tried to use a Hotmail ID
As the Google Servers only allow IDs that end @Googlemail.com or @gmail.com  it will not work and you will be "Off Line".
The ID is "accepted" when you type it in as it conforms to an email Address.
Japib has their Facebook account called chat.facebook.com which happens to be the server name and that it how it appears in the list on the left in their Pic.  It will also be in the Window Menu like that.

There were only AIM and Jabber back then.

    I'm trying to copy music from my PC to itunes. I open itunes, go to 'file', go to 'add folder to library', select the folder and nothing happens. What am I doing wrong?

    Hello there, gleab.
    The following Knowledge Base article reviews the ways to import content into iTunes:
    Adding music and other content to iTunes
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1473
    Also keep in mind which formats can be added:
    You can add audio files that are in AAC, MP3, WAV, AIFF, Apple Lossless, or Audible.com (.aa) format. If you have unprotected WMA content, iTunes for Windows can convert these files to one of these formats.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Pedro.

  • My ipod 60gb classic is showing as fully charged until I connect it to my pc when it comes up with the error message, 'please wait very low battery' and the little wheel goes round and nothing happens, can anyone explain why this is and what i can do?

    My ipod 60gb classic is showing as fully charged until I connect it to my pc when it comes up with the error message, 'please wait very low battery' and the little wheel goes round and nothing happens, can anyone explain why this is and what i can do?

    I have worked my way through the assistant and nothing works. I have tried connecting in disc mode but although the screen on the ipod is showing that the device is charged and that it is in disc mode as soon as I connect it to the computer it comes up with the error message 'please wait very low battery' and stays like that until I disconnect when it appears to be OK again. I have tried on both pc and mac.
    BTW the ipod is an ipod video not classic if that makes any difference.
    Thanks

  • HT5787 What do I do if my iPod was stolen and I checked my support profile and when I entered the serial # I got a message saying it has been registered to another Apple ID? Is there a way to find out that Apple ID so that we can locate the iPod?

    What should I do if my iPod has been stolen and when I checked my support profile and entered my serial # and I received a message that the serial # had been registered to another Apple ID account? Is there a way to find out the Apple ID that it was registered to? I have already checked find my iPod and it shows my iPod is offline. I have already filed a police report.

    No, sorry, there is no way you can get that information. The police perhaps could, but it would probably require a court order and it's unlikely the police will go to those lengths unless they have reason to believe that this theft was not an isolated instance and hence worth more of their time than the single theft of an iPod.
    Even if they got the ID, it may well just be yours. Apple's registration database often contains such errors; I get the same message for some of my devices when I know I registered them to my Apple ID and the devices are all still right here.
    Regards.

    Did you try to charge it using the adapter or your computer?
    If you can, let it charge for about 15min, then connect in recovery mode, described in this article:

    If still not luck, your battery might have to be replaced:

  • What are the "Profile" and "Level" Settings in AME?

    One thing I never understood is the option for the Profile and Level when I'm exporting a clip in AME.  Not sure if those are options for most codecs but it is for the MainConcept H.264 Video Codec.  For Profile, there is an option of "Baseline", "Main", and "High".  For Level, starting from 3.1 and up, it's 3.1, 3.2, 4.0, 4.1, 4.2, 5.0, 5.1.  I don't know what these are and therefore don't know which to choose.  I know that the level has something to do with resolution so if I'm exporting in 720p, which level should I choose?
    **While on the video encoding topic, in terms of quality, best to worst, what would the order be for the types of bitrates?  Is it VBR 2-pass, CBR, then VBR 1-Pass?
    -Sorry if this is a bit off-topic for Premiere CS4.  There just wasn't any specific location for AME or Video-encoding..

    Profiles outline/suggest certain encoding/decoding capabilities of a given video compression standard, like H.264. For example, the High profile enables B-frames and CABAC encoding. Levels are a means of ensuring that a hardware decoder can properly decode a stream. For example, an iPod can play back Baseline profile, Level 3.0 encoded video, but nothing higher. Higher profiles and levels enable other hardware, like Blu-Ray players. For the most part, you can ignore levels when encoding for computer playback, and only concern yourself with profile.

    The link Eddie posted has a ton of information, but here's a good article from Jan Ozer that puts it in more accessible terms.

  • What are the Different Profiles and what is the Neeed for profiles?

    Hello Basis Gurus,
              I want to know about the profiles.. I know How to Maintain and I don't Know exactly what is the need pls any one send me detail analysys of the profiles ..i will give more reward points.
    1.what are User profiles and transport profiles
    regards,
    balaram

    A Profile is assigned to a particular user, with that profile rights he can access the screens and menus, and the profiles contain the roles which maintains to do particular activities or actions in screens and menus..
    User Profile: we create roles in pfcg and automatically the profile is created and assignend to the user and comparsion is done, this is user profile, we can maintain this profile
    Transport Profile: Whenever you are setting the transport management system the profile is loaded into the database from operating system, and at the same time the TMSADM user is created, when transports are done tp checks the profile parameter u can check it usr/sap/trans/bin where this profile exists. The system itself maintains this profile
    With Regards

  • Download and installed LR6 and nothing happens with it. Doesn't open or a thing. Now what?

    Download and installed LR6 and nothing happens with it. Doesn't open or a thing. Now what? Do not know if I should uninstall it and try again or ????

    I had the same problem (Lightroom CC doesn't appear to run on Widnows) and your solution worked for me. Note that it isn't enough to just close and restart Creative Cloud. This is what I did:
    Open Creative Cloud
    Open Preferences and hit Sign Out
    Sign back in again...
    Now start Lightroom CC.  This brought up a dialog labelled Photoshop CC saying that it needed to be signed in. When I dismissed it Lightroom then started up.
    Something else I noticed that may help diagnose this issue is that the file amt.log contained the line:
         04/21/15 23:09:07:623 | [INFO] |  |  |  | AMT |  |  | 8804 | Application licensing status has changed to unlicensed.

    My apple TV is not working. The light blinks but the TV only shows the apple picture and nothing happens. Any idea why?

    James,
    Thank you for the information. I did what you said but it is still not working. My apple box works with my wifi so I think the wife was disconnected and I can't figure out where to go to set up the wifi pass word for the apple box. Any hits would be appreciated if not my next step is to ship back the box to apple.
    Thanks,

  • I have an email that is sent but won't disappear from my screen. I push cancel and nothing happens. I can't get back to my accounts. What do I do ?

    I have an email that won't disappear from my screen.
    I push cancel and nothing happens.
    I can see my accounts "behind" the email but I can't access them.
    I have turned machine off and on again.
    What else?

    Go back to your homescreen, then completely close down your mail app by double clicking the home button to open the multi-tasking bar. Hold your finger on the mail app icon and then click the red circle that appears on the left of the icon.
    Once you have done that, reopen the mail app and you should be sorted.
