I just intsalled Mac OS X Lion yesterday and opened iChat and it logged into the account automaticlly. How do I disable this feature, so it does not log in automatically when iChat opens in Mac OS X Lion? or will Apple upate soon to bring back the small features soon? I don't understand that are taken away.
iChat-OTHER, Mac OS X (10.7), iChat Log In Automatically
Hi,
Is it in the General Section of the iChat Preferences ?
That is where it is in iChat 4 and 5

Yes, it use to be a chcek for the iChat Preferences in Mac OS X Snow Leopard before I upgraded to Mac OS X Lion. Do you think Apple wll ring it back or is there a terminal command that it doesn't log in automatically?
Hi,
I seem to be confusing two settings.
This one is the one I was thinking of
The One I actually should have said
Of course some of these setting have moved before between different Versions of iChat.
In th Accounts pane check the Security tab and/or Server Setting as it might have got moved to either of those.
It may have been grouped with the Status Message setting in the General Section.
Other place might be iChat Menu > Accounts
This just used to List the Accounts and toggle them On or Off individually.
Logged in Accounts are also listed in the Window Menu so it might be worth checking there as well.
There is a vague chance it has been moved to the View Menu.
If it is not there at all, ask for it here http://www.apple.com/feedback/ichat.html

Go to System Preferences > General (What used to be Appearance)
See this Global Setting
Adjust as required. Unticked iChat will not Auto Login the accounts that are Marked "Use this Account" when starting up
EDIT
That is to say this is it's action on iChat. It is a global All Apps setting !!
