If it is that important to you, you can try to call SIN phone check-in and do the check-in. They might refuse to do it for you though since you are not yet in SIN (happened to me before) but if you ask for their assistance politely (given the long flight SIN-LAX), they might help you.
For premium passengers (F, C, PPS) this is the number: (65) 6540-3033. Sorry you have to do a search for the general number. Good luck.

Just used the check-in for my Japan/ DPS trip tommorow. Worked well but the app is quite strict about the time rule , so I could only get a seat on the first leg and then wait 6 hours or so to do the 2nd leg. But all in all an almost "seamless" experience. You should have seen the seats they had pre-selected for me

follow up
I found the SQ bkk number ( thanks to another thread here) and called them up. I asked for an emergency exit row since the flight was "full" and she first told me that the seats were full. After asking her to rearrange someone in that row since I should have priority, she told me that there were no emergency exit seats on this plane (too funny). So now I'm stuck with a not so good seat and will try my luck tomorrow in SIN.
It seems like the internet check in feature still needs some work to accomodate those who originate on their partner airline ( MI) before getting on to SQ. Don't know why they can't have the SQ portion allocated via internet check in and the MI leg allocated at the terminal upon checking in.

a) Input your ticket number
b) Input your passport number (I guess this will only work if you have purchased a e-ticket, and the agent has inputted your passport number)
c) Input the booking reference number
d) Input your SIA KrisFlyer Account Number
During the check-in process, you can select your seats and input your preferred mileage programme number.

No longer have to buy your ticket online or enter your Krisflyer number into the PNR.
There is an option saying "Other Users" or something like that. Click on that and you can just enter your flight details.

The agent did try to help and had an associate check and call me back, but he too confirmed I would be unable to view my reservation unless my KF account were listed for the miles. Now I know I can ask to have KF miles on my account and then change it back to UA, but this seems a tad strange

While this is indeed inconvenient when compared to some other airlines (UA, for one), it is nothing new.

!On my return flight ATH-SIN-KUL, I wasnt able to check-in for the first leg eventhough it was within 48 hrs of that flight. I suspect that it was due to the second leg being almost 60 hrs from that time. I succeeded in checking-in only when both legs were within 48 hrs.

As far as I know, this policy has not changed even though internet check-in is not limited to KrisFlyer members anymore.

I think this is a new feature of the upgraded online check-in service.

Checked in yesterday for a FRA-JFK flight on Friday that was booked on-line; no problems. The system preassigned me a random seat but when I asked to change it got a seat map and picked the seat I wanted ^ . I was also able to view (but not check-in obviously) my flight to SIN in December
