1 of my contacts isn't showing on my buddy list

I of my contacts isn't showing on my buddies list

Hi,
Short answer is Yes.
The Long answer also depends on both ends iChat menu > Preferences > Accounts > Security tab settings when it is an AIM (@mac.com or MobileMe as well) Account.
If they set Allow Buddy List Only but don't add you then you can not see them either.
Same if they Block you
Same if they use Allow Specific People and don't add you.
Actually with these settings neither end can see each other.
With Invisible, the person who is set to Invisible can see which of their Buddies is On line (Available or Away), like a one way mirror.
Add to that mistyping Screen Names and such and it can get hard to find out what is actually up.
(it is easier if the Buddy normally shows up but has stopped for a while and then it is most likely the Invisible setting that they have forgotten about as their Buddy list looks normal)

  • Buddy Icons not showing up in buddy list?

  • Online buddies not showing up in buddy list

    so, for some reason, i only have one "buddy" that will show up on my list as online. this is not a coincidence....for some reason the rest of my buddies who are online are not showing up in the ichat column.

    So you changed the Quicktime setting
    And the Port Change to 443 and had no luck.
    You repeated these steps in a new Mac User Account ?
    And got the same result with the same Buddy List ?
    IF you have no other computer or application using the same Buddy List then the problem is with the AIM servers.
    In iChat > Preferences > General Section there is a choice to "When I Quit iChat, Setmy Status to Offline" Are you using this option checked or Unchecked ?
    If Unchecked can you check it and Quit iChat.
    When you start up iChat again have things changed ?
    This will be the limit of what you can do on the Mac.
    Try rebooting your modem (If you have the Log on details for the ISP just in case).

  • Siri says Contact isn't in "Find My Friends" list

    When I ask Siri where my contact is she tells me they aren't in my "Find My Friends" list when they are. I can go to the app, and pull up her location right there. What could the deal be?

    Did you signed in with the iCloud Apple ID?
    In Contacts app, select yourself it the contacts list, what photo do you have there?
    In FMF app > Do you have more than one device? If so, Share my Location from: is yor iPhone selected?

  • Contacts don't show up

    Hey,
    Since a few days (maybe since I installed the iChat update?) my contacts won't show up in my list when they are online! And I also appear offline in their lists!
    So basicly we can't use iChat.
    What could be wrong?

    Hi
    First try this log on to AIM on port 443 rather than port 5190.
    Go to IChat > Preferences > Accounts.
    Log out of AIM and then use the Server Settings tab
    Set the port to 443.
    Log back in again.

  • My contacts are not showing up on the PC app or the web interface.  Why isn't this working?

    My contacts are not showing up on the PC app or the web interface.  Message+ works fine on my Note 4 though.  My contacts are saved in my Google account.
    I've tried several things but message+ acts like there are no contacts in the app yet there are names and pictures in my conversations.  Can anyone help me?

        matthttam,
    Let's make sure that we get you up and running with no issues. I want to make sure that we are on the same page. Are your contacts actually listed in the address book on your phone? Are you using Verizon Messages? Or the third party Messages  from the Play Store? Please keep us posted.

  • All of my contacts are not showing up

    Once I updated my phone to to iCloud, now all of my contacts are not showing up in my contact list but if I type in the number, they show up.  How do I fix this?

    I also have this problem, just from the iPhone 5s which makes my life crazy, too.
    The problem of having multiple devices doesn't seem to help, but the odd part is when everything I am doing is correct, it still doesn't sync like it used to do before iCloud, and when we had to USB wire connect the iPhone to the Laptop to make contacts sync.
    Might I add that I am not using MAIL on my LAPTOP?
    but ?Britty sounds like her issue is easier as gmail sometimes can create duplicates so you are in good if you are not having that problem or nightmare...
    IF ANYONE ELSE can PLEASE ADD to this THREAD? I would be thankful
    as there seems to be a TRENDING on iPhone 5s not syncing with other devices or backwards.....(I have added contacts to the iPhone 5s and they never get added to the iCloud or the iPad or the Addressbook or CONTACTS on the LAPTOP....
    This should be working and I have checked the CONTACTS on the laptop GROUPS , iCloud, vs ALL ON MY MAC
    it just isn't syncing and in some cases I am getting a WEB DAV error or CAL error...-1
    what is that? iCloud will not sync all contacts?
    something is crazy
    but I want to remain at 10.8 MOUNTAIN LION and not upgrade to MAVERICKS......or use MAIL on my LAPTOP...just CONTACTS ONLY......

  • Adding iPhone contact and  it shows up as Android user on texts- how to fix this

    I have a new iPhone 6 and just added a new contact - who has an iPhone too -   after adding it - I tried to  send a text to them and it showed up as a Text not an iMessage ---  I looked to make sure that I put his phone number in as an iPhone and just mobile. It is in as an iPhone --
    This means I cannot text from my MacBook Pro or iPad  -  and yet he has an iPhone ---    are there certain carriers that don't play well with Apple or is this something I am doing wrong .
    Please help  -  this is the second contact that is showing up this way...
    I also have a tenant that I text to and they changed carriers but have the same phone.   I think they are now with T-Mobile.   And when I open the text messages to and from them   Some where sent in Blue as iMessages and the newer ones are all in green and sent as SMS text messages -- I not longer can send the  text from my Mac Book Pro.  
    Please please help me.    I am using current operating systems on all devices and all devices are new this year.
    What is going on?

    Hey Dgnstl,
    Thanks for the question. I understand that you are experiencing issues with iMessage. To troubleshoot these issues, see the following resource for helpful steps:
    iOS: Troubleshooting Messages
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2755
    To resolve issues with sending and receiving iMessages, follow these steps
    1. Check iMessage system status for current service issues.
    2. Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive and make sure that you registered iMessage with your phone number or Apple ID and that you selected iMessage for use. If the phone number or Apple ID isn't available for use, troubleshoot iMessage registration.
    3. Open Safari and navigate to www.apple.com to verify data connectivity. If a data connection isn't available, troubleshoot cellular data or a Wi-Fi connection.
    4. iMessage over cellular data might not be available while you're on a call. Only 3G and faster GSM networks support simultaneous data and voice calls. Learn which network your phone supports. If your network doesn't support simultaneous data and voice calls, go to Settings > Wi-Fi and turn Wi-Fi on to use iMessage while you're on a call.
    5. Restart your device.
    6. Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings on your iPhone.
    If you still can't send or receive an iMessage, follow these steps
    1. Make sure that the contact trying to message you isn't blocked in Settings > Messages > Blocked.
    2. Make sure that the contact you're trying to send a message to is registered with iMessage.
    3. If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, back up or forward important messages and delete your current messaging threads with the contact. Create a new message to the contact and try again.
    4. If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, delete and recreate the contact in the Contacts app. Create a new message to the newly created contact and try again.
    5. Back up and restore your device as new.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

  • ICloud isn't showing up in system preferences

    My mac is completely up to date I've checked 5 times. Icloud isn't showing up in system preferences and when I click on mail, contacts and calendars it just shows a window with nothing in it. Did I disable something??? Please help

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    iCloud requires OS X Lion or later, so it's normal that you can't use iCloud in your MacBook Pro. You have to upgrade to OS X Mountain Lion, and your computer is supported, so you can purchase it in the Mac App Store if you want. Make a backup of your files and check that your applications are compatible > http://www.roaringapps.com
    You have to turn on Find my iPhone on your iPhone in order to be able to track it. It means that you can't track it, so report that to the police and wait until they can find your device, if it's found. I'm sorry I can't do anything else

    You and your partner might have different browsers, different versions of the same browser, or most likely a fervent version of the PDF plug-in.
    See if just clicking on the Enter key sends the form in.
