2 accounts, 1 mac, buddy not showing up in 1 account

I have two accounts that I go between on my mac, one for work and one for home. I have added the same buddy to both accounts but he only shows up as being available in one account. Any ideas?

Hi ALan,
Has he added both names to his Buddy List ?
If not is he using Allow only Buddy List ?

My mac will not show images when on the internet?

My mac will not show images when on the internet? I think I have inadvertently changed some settings but nor sure which one.

I am going to assume you are using Safari here. If so then go to the Apple menu bar and hit Safari-> Preferences. Under the Apperance tab there is a check box that is called "Display images when the page opens". Check if that is unticked.

Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 for Mac does not show up in Applications. Tutorial for editing from iPhoto shows selecting the Adobe software in Applications. Am I missing a step in registering product?

Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 for Mac does not show up in Applications. Tutorial for editing from iPhoto shows selecting the Adobe software in Applications. Am I missing a step in registering product?

I answered my own question: There's a difference between "download' and "install." Hunt for "install" (1.5 hrs in my case) and line up your passwords, Adobe ID, etc, then install. Took 15 min. The right choice shows up in Applications. Now it's on to figuring out why photo selected for edit in iPhoto does not show up on screen in Elements.

Hi,
If the machine is brand new I don't see why the serial Number is missing (it is entered on to a special chip at the factory)
However if the machine is a return and has been refurbished then the Logic/mother board may have been changed and someone forgot to put the info back to the new board.

Address book of my mac does not show all my contacts in iphone. What do i do??

Address book of my mac does not show all my contacts in iphone. What do i do??

iCloud, which replaced MobileMe, requires OS X Lion (10.7.5) or higher. You will need to upgrade to OS X Lion higher in order to set up iCloud on your Mac. First check to see if your system meets the system requirements to upgrade.
Lion system requirements are:
Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
2GB of memory
OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
7GB of available space
Mountain Lion and Mavericks requirements are the same, as listed here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5842.
If you can run Mavericks, you can download a free upgrade from the Mac App Store. If your system can only run Lion, you can go here to purchase a redemption code to download it from the Mac App Store. If you prefer Mountain Lion for software compatibility reasons, you can go here to purchase a redemption code to download it from the Mac App Store.
After upgrading, you will find iCloud in System Preferences>iCloud on your Mac, and can set it up as explained here: http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/mac.html.
Before upgrading, you may want to check the compatibility of your existing applications by checking here: http://roaringapps.com/apps:table. Also be aware that older PPC programs such as AppleWorks and Office 2004 for Mac will not run on OS X Lion or higher.

Face Time for mac does not show contacts window or allow me to sign in

My Facetime for Mac launches but does not show me my Contacts sidebar or allow me to 'Sign In'. Preferences is grayed out as well.
It works under a new user account (System Preferences > Accounts). I added a contact into the blank address book to test it out. I'm troubleshooting it right now to get it to work under my account, I think it has something to do with not fully accessing the keychain.
The tell-tell sign for me is when I launch FaceTime for Mac the preview window does not show immediately. I have to click on the app a second time for the window to appear. This does not happen under the new account
I have already:
- Restarted
- Removed preferences and Caches
- Re-installed Face Time
- Repaired and reset keychains
- Signed in under a different MobileMe account in System Preferences
Any other suggestions

SOLVED !!
After many, many more steps and close to total ruin of my MobileMe sync structure, I have the found the hidden files to remove that solved my problem.
~/Library/Preferences/.GlobalPreferences.plist
~/Library/Preferences/.GlobalPreferences.plist temp
~/Library/Preferences/.GlobalPreferences.plist .6Va7JFn [+these letters may be than different yours+]
Logged out, then back in again
When I launched Facetime it worked exactly as it does on my test user account.
here are the terminal commands to try for your solution
cd ~/Library/Preferences/
ls -A [+To get the letters for the third file+]
rm ~/Library/Preferences/.GlobalPreferences.plist
rm ~/Library/Preferences/.GlobalPreferences.plist\ temp
rm ~/Library/Preferences/.GlobalPreferences.plist\ .[+your letters+]
Please Post any problems you run into or if it doesn't work.

Yes, your Mac needs to be connected to a Wi-Fi. See this help text: iCloud: Troubleshooting Find My iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Mac http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4006
Find My Mac can only locate your Mac if it is connected to the Internet via a known Wi-Fi network. If your Mac is connected to the Internet only by an Ethernet cable, Find My Mac will not be able to locate your Mac.
Your iPad, iPod Touch, or Mac is asleep and not connected to a known Wi-Fi network. You will still be able to request an erase, send a message to display and lock your device, or request that a sound be played. The command will be processed when your device is awakened and connected to the Internet.

Home Sharing: Multiple Users on 1 Mac do not show up unless logged in

I've set up home sharing on 4 Macs successfully, however one Mac has 3 users. Since they are all not logged in at the same time, all of their itunes libraries do not show up, only the one for the user who is logged in at that time. Any ideas on how to fix this?
Also, how do I get new purchases to automatically download to all the shared libraries? I can't seem to locate that.

Doesn't work - ask Apple.
Sorry, but at the moment I have no good feelings for them. User friendly multi-user environments don't seem to very popular at Apple.

HT204053 my MAC do not showing icloud?!?

My iMac do not showing Iclaud in the Sistem Preferences, still shoing the iMe !
How can I do this!!

Your signature says you are using 10.6.8: this is not compliant with iCloud and does not have the Preference Pane for it. Lioin 10.7.2 is required for full functions.
You can set Mail up manually to access an iCloud account you have migrated from MobileMe or started on another device:
Entering iCloud email settings manually in Snow Leopard or Leopard

Mac CS6 not showing indd files as "readable documents"

A few months ago, we upgraded (finally) from CS3 to CS6. (I'm running Mac OS 10.6.8.)
Unfortunately, when I go FILE -> OPEN then type part of a file name in the SEARCH bar, no InDesign files show up---CS3 or CS6 files. I have to manually switch the dialog box from "All Readable Documents" to "All Documents" then I get all files, including InDesign files.
This used to work fine in CS3 and no other program has this issue. In the OS, all ".indd" files are set to open in CS6. (If I right-click "get info" for an old file and check, it says that it's set to open in CS6.)
If I manually NAVIGATE to a folder using the OPEN dialog box, everything works as expected. InDesign files show up normally and other "unreadable" documents are grayed out and I don't have to enable "All Documents".
Obviously, not a catastrophic error, but certainly inconvenient.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!
Andrew

Hi, dsprow. Welcome to the Discussions.
1. You wrote: "Spotlight (and Find for that matter) are not showing all Image Files (such as JPEGS) unless a preview has already been created."I've done some testing to see if I can reproduce your report.
I find this is only the case in Find when the Images group of search results is displayed in List mode (icon of parallel lines selected on the right side of the blue Images group title).
In Find, if I select that the Images group be displayed in Icon view (by selecting the icon of four boxes on the right side of the blue images title) then all icons in the Images group of search results are shown with image previews, whether or not the image itself has a preview icon.
Other than this, I cannot reproduce the problem:
• When I use the Spotlight Icon (Command-Space bar) or the Spotlight Window (Command-Option-Space bar) the search results in the Images group always displays an image preview whether or not the image itself has a preview icon.
• Changing the display of the Spotlight Window to Flat List under "Group by" — before or after performing the search— has no effect on this.
• I also checked to see if the Finder > View > Show View Options setting in Icon view for "Show Icon Preview" of the folder containing a search result affects this: it does not appear to.
2. Can you think of anything that differentiates the images that are not working as expected from those that do? Were they created on a PC, for example? Just downloaded from a camera?
3. You wrote: "I've tried everything I can think of."I appreciate that, but perhaps you can provide a list of things you did try so that others can test them, or make suggestions that you've not tried already.
Good luck!

Download videos from Iphone to Mac - Iphone not showing up in image capture

Hello I am trying to download the videos I took with my iphone onto my computer, but the iphone is not showing up in image capture or iphoto. Does anyone know how to get the videos off without degrading the video quality.
Thanks

Photos captured by your iPhone shouldn't be a problem.
Photos saved from a received email, from a website, or from a received MMS has caused this problem for some, and I'm not sure why. I haven't experienced the same yet. This may include screenshots.
Email the screenshots only to yourself followed by deleting the screenshots from your iPhone's Camera Roll, and the same for any photos saved from a received email, from a website, or from a received
MMS.
Test if this resolves the problem for importing the photos and video that were captured by your iPhone.

Mac does not show UBS as a serial port option for Arduino Uno

Hi,
My Macbook Air with Mavericks will not show a USB connection to Arduino Uno Rev 3. I have tried installing the drivers from: http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/VCP.htm but still no luck. Any suggestions appreciated.
Regards,
Alex

I'm running Yosemite on a Late 2011 MacBook Pro...
I've used Arduino IDE 1.0.5 and have recently upgraded to Arduino IDE 1.6.1
I've never had to install special USB drivers.
I simply connect the Arduino UNO R3 to the USB port.
In Terminal, perform the following command
ls -al /dev/tty.usb*
This command will list the USB port for the Arduino, e.g. /dev/tty.usbmodemfa131
Sure enough, this device appears under Arduino -> Tools -> Port
Make sure the Arduino is connected to the USB port.

Buddy not showing online on one user account

I have multiple user accounts on one IMac. One buddy shows up as always offline on one account but shows up as online on the other accounts (the buddy is online). I've checked and rechecked the AIM account name and it is correct and identical to the one on the account that is working. Any ideas on what could be the problem?
Thanks

Hello Ralph,
I've really got myself confused and hope you can help.
iChat has been working flawlessly for me - iMac 20" Duo OS X10.5.2. Have a friend in NY with an AIM account running OS X10.4.11 but though we can see each other, I cannot hear her - she can hear me. However, when I went to my iMac PPC G4 running OS X10.4.11, we can both hear and see each other perfectly.
I have another friend in Berkeley with an iMac Duo OS X10.5.2 and we can iChat perfectly. But when she tried to chat with our friend in NY running Tiger, same thing - Berkeley can see NY but not hear her. Again, the NY person can hear both of us but we cannot hear her.
But when I go to my iMac G4 and try to chat with my Berkeley friend running OS X10.5.2, she appears offline. The only way to get her to appear online is to have her change her security setting to allow anyone. As soon as she does this, I can see her come online and we can chat. But, I appear offline to her even when I change my security setting to allow anyone. We could still chat though. We tried using the allow specific people, but that did not work either.
Now I run back upstairs to my iMac Duo, and sure enough, Berkeley and I can see each other online and chat just fine as usual.
The problem seems to be with trying to chat with someone running Tiger and the other(s) running Leopard. Perhaps something else? Changed Quicktime to 1.5, but did not fix the problem. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Ralph.

Mac Mail not showing all folders

I am using my @icloud email account and I only see the Inbox and Sent mail folders in Mac Mail. I am not seeing Junk, Trash, Notes, etc.. If I look in Library/Mail/V2/<account> I can see all these folders listed. If I delete an email via Mac Mail I can see it appear on iCloud.com in the "Trash" folder so the mappings are all correct. How can I display them in the Mac mail application?

It could be that the sidebar that shows the additional folders isn't showing at all, so you're only seeing the top bar with a few shortcuts. Does it look like this:
If it does, do this:
By clicking 'Mailboxes' you'll get the sidebar back. This can also be done by clicking View > Show Sidebar
Let us know how that goes!
