Can't see friends respond. help please

Lately I have been having trouble with the connection of my iChat.
I type for a little while and then my friends never type back and I think that it is just because they are gone, but I sign off and sign back on and there are all these offline ims waiting for me.
they can see me typing and they are responding, yet I can't see what they say until I reload iChat.
any help would be appreciated!

  • Sometimes when I quit Firefox, it makes my Mac screen turn solid blue. The computer does not crash, but I can't see anything. Help please!

    Sometimes when I quit Firefox, it makes my Mac screen display solid blue color. The computer does not crash, but I can't see anything. Opening programs, nor hitting any shortkey makes the display work again, so I have to shut down.
    I am using Macbook pro, OS 10.6.8, 4 GB memory, 2 ghz intel processors i7. This has happened about 6 times in the last 3 months. Seems to be getting more frequent. Sometimes happens after using Netflix streaming video, sometimes after browsing sites that don't play video. I frequently use Pandora, but have Firefox set to dump cache, memory, etc. after each use.

    Have you tried a safe start by holding the shift key when you boot? If that works, and it can take a while to complete, see if a regular boot now works. If it does, you need to free up space on your hard drive.
    If a safe boot doesn't work, you need to either boot from an OS X DVD or go into target disk mode to connect via firewire cable to another mac to free up space on your hard drive. You need 5GB min, with 10% to 15%, or more, better, for systems usage.  If you have a backup, move some data files to it, erase them and empty the trash.

    Thanks Barney, I tried that but all that comes up in Spotlight are the log files that show the file paths! I don't know how Steam works. Are all the files held by Steam on their server perhaps?

  • I just purchased Time Capsule today.  I ONLY want to use it as an external drive.  I do not need it for Time Machine. I can see the TC in my finder, but when I click on a file or video to drag and drop, I get message that TC can't be modified. Help please

    I just purchased Time Capsule today.  I ONLY want to use it as an external drive.  I do not need it for Time Machine. I need to free up room on my computer. As of now, I can't even load updates. I can see the TC in my finder, but when I click on a file or video to drag and drop, I get message that TC can't be modified. Help please!

    I agree with Kappy.. passing files and especially via wireless is slow as slow.
    Just need to be sure your TC is the new AC model??
    And the OS on the computer is Lion?
    Have you completed the setup of the TC via the utility? You do still need to get internet via the TC so it has to be plugged into the main router..
    Give us the full picture of the network.
    Then we can help you get into it.. whether you should put your files on it is another question.

  • Fire Wire: MBP OS X.4.11 Can't see external devices. PLEASE HELP!

    Fire Wire: MBP OS X.4.11 Can't see external devices. PLEASE HELP!
    My MBP will not "see" my new MB or my back-up drive—both connected via a firewire 400 (6 pin) cable. Both running Tiger X.4.11
    I have used this cable to connect my MBP and a TiBook in the past as well as to back-up onto the LaCie e-drive.
    I have run "disk repair" and "permissions" on both machines.
    BTW—"permissions" are regularly out of wack on the MBP. But, the disk is OK according to Disk Utilities.
    I also cannot put the machine to sleep after logging out. Has a hard time shutting down as well. Sometimes I need to force a re-boot.
    Can't run Disk Doctor because I don't have a bootable disk yet. It's coming via snail mail.
    The new MB "sees" the e-drive connected with the same cable.
    I can't transfer my files to the new MB nor can I back up.
    Is it time for a "clean install"? Makes me nervous that I cannot backup before trying anything drastic.
    Can someone please help me?
    Thanks in advance.

    Put the more recalcitrant computer into Target Drive mode by starting it with the T key down until you see the yellow on blue screen. Then connect it to the other machine by firewire cable while both are already awake.
    I hope that you did not do any upgrades while you had external drives connected... that is an automatic problem. Always disconnect from externals and accessories before doing any upgrades. Always back up before doing any upgrades.
    Firewire networking is not the same as using a computer in Target Disc mode. In Target disc mode, you are using the internal drive of the Td computer as an external. That should allow you to run disk utility. Do use the proper disc utility version for the OSX version that is on problem drive. ie don't use the Leopard disc utility for the Tiger disc or vice versa.

  • Can't mark answers as Helpful - Please assist

    Dear Mods/Admins,
    Firstly apologies for for creating a discussion for the issue where the solution is already given.
    I can't mark answers as HELPFUL to my discussion thread https://forums.oracle.com/thread/2559964.
    As I can't see the mark helpful option as there.
    Could you please mark it as a question? or let me know what needs to be done from my side. While creation I marked the thread as question and few of the answers were marked as helpful as well, but after editing I am not able to find this option.
    Thanks in advance for your support.
    Cheers!

    Hi Bhaskar,
    Thread  SOA/OSB - A few interview questions : Please help
    is already marked as question and I can see that already two replies are marked as helpful. There is a limitation in forums that at max two replies can be marked as Helpful per discussion.
    So, I think, you won't be able to mark third reply as Helpful.
    Though, you can mark it as correct, but that is up to you.
    Thanks,

    What device are you using?
    What OS & version?
    Browser & version?
    So you DO see the teeny " " link to the right & when "Selected" it does NOT show this?
    What, if anything DOES happen? Do you have any other email addresses entered? Alternate? Rescue?

    Remote App on iPad connects but drops after about  20 mins. Need to turn  off wait about 1 minute, then turn on wifi on iMac before it can reconnect. Need some help please.
    Already gone through troubleshooting guide a zillion times. Thanks.

    This worked for me... A little time consuming but once you get rolling it goes GREAT... Thanks....
    I got my artwork and saved it to my Desktop
    Opened up Microsoft Paint and clicked on "File" and "Open" and found it to get it on the screen to resize it
    Clicked "resize" and a box for changing it opened up
    Checked the box "Pixels" and "Unchecked maintain aspect ratio"
    Set Horizontal for 640 and Vertical for 480
    Clicked on "OK" and went back to "File" and did a "Save As" and chose JPEG Picture
    It came up "File Already Existed" and clicked "OK" (really did not care about the original artwork I found because wrong size)
    Went to iTunes and on the movie right clicked on "Get Info", clicked on "Details", then "Artwork"
    Go to the little box on the top left that shows your old artwork and click on it to get the little blue border to appear around it and hit "Delete" to make it gone
    Click on "Add Artwork" and find it where you put the one from above on your Desktop and hit "Open" and OK and your new artwork is now there and all good.
    Sounds like a lot of steps to follow but after around 5 or so you will fly through it. This worked perfect on my iPhone 6 Plus and I have artwork on my Home Videos now.

  • I'm in syria and they blocked me from using any VPN service please help without VPN i can't open the store help please ( using iphone 5 version 9.1.4 )

    I'm in syria and they blocked me from using any VPN service please help without VPN i can't open the store help please ( using iphone 5 version 9.1.4 )

    There is nothing that anyone here on a user forum can do to help you.  If it is a local issue in Syria, then you need to take it up with your phone company or authorities there who have prevented you from using VPN.
    Nobody here can help you.

    I use Microsoft XP on my PC, where r my pictures from my iPad? I need to know how to send pictures to Walgreens, etc so I can get them printed. Help please!

    I am legally blonde and not very tech savvy, so I don't really know how to do that.  I know ur time is valuable, so could u possibly give me a short tutorial?  I would b very grateful! I use the camera kit to get my pics from my sd card to my iPad and also from my iPhone to my iPad. Had I known I would have this problem, I would not have transferred my pics to my iPad until after I took the sd card and had my pics printed.

    I have and old shuffle ipod and a friend has asked if i can put my albums on his nano, his is connecting and showing up in the software but icannot find out how to transfer the albums into his nano, can someone help please. Also they are my albums not music from itunes thanks

    I have and old shuffle ipod and a friend has asked if i can put my albums on his nano
    That is illegal music sharing, so you won't get any help on Apple's official forums.
    Also they are my albums not music from itunes
    Irrelevant. Under copyright law, you do have the right to give a copy of these albums to anyone.

  • My daughter has an iPod touch and is emailing a much older boy via text free app she downloaded. How can I see the conversations? Please help and thank you

    Please help me...My 12year old daughter has been talking to a older teenager through the text free app. How can I see the conversations? Also, there is a photo vault that is locked. What is that? Please someone help me. I don't know what else to do. I paid and downloaded a program that is supposed to tell you everything that's on the ipod but that was a joke. Thanks for your help.

    As long as you can't get a hold of the device, you can't do anything more than talking to your daughter about it.
    Erasing the device could also be an option to keep her from using apps you don't want her to have on her device.
    Try talking first
