All contacts offline (iChat AV 3 & .mac)

Hi there,
since 1 pm CET my contact list in iChat is completely empty. Noone is online. The same problem occures when I use the .mac account in Adium.
The curious thing is that all my buddies which are online are displayed as online when I use my normal AIM Account.
Does anybody know wheres the problem?
Thank you
P.S. My OS version is 10.4.5. (not listed in the OS Box)
iMac G5 Rev. B Mac OS X (10.4.4) 1.8 GHz/1.5 GB/160 GB

You're possibly caught up in a server synchronisation issue between Apple dotMac and AOL AIM.
It's happened to me on several occasions and my buddies also. Eventually your list will return but don't confuse the issue by logging in and out of different accounts - this will make things worse, lol!
Meanwhile, join the chorus of complaint, be polite and firm:

Can I add my MSN contacts to iChat using my .Mac account?

I was wondering if there is anyway to add my MSN contacts on to iChat using my Mac account. I know that it is possible using a Jabber account and using my MSN account on iChat, but since I am paying for a .Mac account I might as well maximize its capabilties.
Please help,
shivsensarma

You can not add MSN Buddies to the AIm Buddy List.
You can however create a Jabber ID and then with a Third Party App link to what is called a Transport that will connect you to the MSN Service for Text Only chats.
Read the first two links in this section
http://www.ralphjohns.co.uk/page5.html#_jabber
The third link is the most up-to-date List of Jabber Servers with Transports I have found.
I may receive some form of compensation, financial or otherwise, from my link to my website.

All contacts offline and skype home unavailable?

Today i got on my computer to play some games with my friend, so i started skype up. It opened and i saw he was offline, which was strange because he leaves his skype on online. So i opened the contacts tab, and every single contact was offline, even Echo sound test was offline. I tried reinstalling skype and it didnt work. I tried once again. didn't work . Im going to backup my skype folder and delete anything skype related after my uninstall. Then im going to reinstall it, and hopefully that will fix it. I am open to any answers, and I hope i'm not the only one getting this error.
Thanks in advance for anyone who tries to help

Try first to reset all Skype settings.
Quit Skype or use Windows Task Manager to kill any Skype.exe process. Go to Windows Start and in the Search/Run box type %appdata% and then press Enter or click the OK button. The Windows File Explorer will pop up. There locate a folder named “Skype”. Rename this folder to something different, e.g. Skype_old.
If you are on one of the latest Skype versions (>6.3), then do also this:
Go to Windows Start and in the Search/Run box type %temp%\skype and then press Enter or click the OK button. Delete the DbTemp folder.
Restart Skype.
N.B. If needed, you will still be able to re-establish your call and chat history. All data is still saved in the Skype_old folder.
Thanks for your help! It worked and now my skype is correctly identifying who is online. I appreciate your help!

Contacts are not syncing from Mac to iPhone

iCloud Contacts are not syncing if created on my macbook. But if created on iOS they sync. Have no clue on this one.

It took me awhile to figure out what is actually happening here, even though it seems obvious now. Unfortunately I can find no way to do what I need.
On MacBook Pro Contacts, over on left page, at top left it says "All Contacts", under that "On my Mac", under that ""iCloud". I have figured out that "On My Mac" contacts are separate from "iCloud" contacts (seems obvious). The contacts in "iCould" are the only ones which sync with your iOS devices.
Unfortunately, when I add contacts through Mail (my usual procedure), they are only added to the "On My Mac" set. I can find no way to have them automatically add to the "iCloud" set of contacts instead of the "On My Mac" set. I cannot figure out how to get these contacts in the "On My Mac" set to sync to iCloud without some very fancy and complicated exporting, deleting, importing ALL contacts, and it is a lot easier just to type the contact info into a new card in the "iCloud" contact set.
Does anyone know of some setting to allow me to use iCloud exclusivly? That's why I want iCloud and Mac, to work together.

I added a contact to my iphone 4s and when I did a sync manually it is not showing up on my MAC in address book - please help....I checked off sync all contacts in iTunes - does it only work one way from computer to phone?

Is it because the new itunes looks different.

Then it should work just the same as on your old computer.

When you connect the iPhone to sync with the new computer, a number of things will happen. If the new computer/iTunes does not contain any music, then yes, you will receive a prompt saying this iPhone is synced to another library, and if you continue, you will lose your music. However, you risk losing a number of other things, such as apps, contacts and calendar data. When you ask about photos, any photos that you have on the iPhone that were synced from the previous computer would also be lost. You need to save the photo folder from the old laptop and transfer that to the new desktop. You also need to sync the contacts and calendar to the same supported application that you were using in the past, such as Outlook, unless you are using an outside web-based sync, such as Google. Also, when you first connect the iPhone, it will make a backup, or at least make sure that it does before you attempt to sync, or you will not have a backup of some of the other things, such as mail settings, SMS, and the contents of the Camera Roll. I would import the photos from the camera roll to the new computer before trying to do anything else in iTunes.

HT204150 i have deleted all contacts in icloud but still have them on my iphone (which is backed up as well to iTunes) how can i restore the iphone data to the iCloud so it will resend it to my mac book and iPad?

i have deleted all contacts in icloud but still have them on my iphone (which is backed up as well to iTunes) how can i restore the iphone data to the iCloud so it will resend it to my mac book and iPad? I have switched my iphone to airplane mode so it is not connected to the internet and so icloud can not wipe it at the moment.
thanks roy

There's a menu choice (I think under "Files") that lets you sync purchased items on a device back to itunes. Look for that.
iCloud does not store music. If you want to do that you'd have to subscribe to itunes Match, but to get music to the match servers, you need the music in the itunes library on your computer.

How to I delete all contact on my iPhone at once. These are contacts ABOVE the contact folder that says From My Mac. I do not want to erase all of the other settings and content from my iPhone -- just the contacts.

How to I delete all contact on my iPhone at once? These are contacts ABOVE the contact folder that says, "From My Mac."
Someone said create a new empty folder on the computer and sync to that -- didn't work .
Another person said, "Reset information in settings to restore to the default." That would erase ALL of the conetent I have on the phone and I do not want to erase all of the other settings and content from my iPhone -- just the contacts.
There has to be a better way than gong through and deleting one-by-one.

Go into Settings...Mail, Calendar and Contacts and siwtch off the Contacts section from the account in question.
The phone should ask you if you want to keep or erase the contacts stored on you phone.
However, if they aren't synched to anything and only exist on your iPhone, you'll have to delete them all one by one

I just had the same problem, I've updated to 10.6.8 yesterday, and since then the browsing are very slow, no matter what broswer I am using, the upload download speed are still the same. But browsing just take forever, It takes for example google.com 30 seconds to load. I have Extream high speed internet connection, 3 other computers, and the only one is having this problem is the Mac after the update.
Something in this update screwed my browsing capabitilties, I tried downloading Crome browser, same issue.
I hope there is a way beside TimeMachine to revert the latest update. I don't want to reformat as I am sure as soon as I am going to do the update it will cause the same problem.

I am unable to sync all contact in my address book on my imac with my ipad mini, it looks like only icloud & yahoo contact sync leaving out the ones in outlook for mac. I have enabled icloud on both devices and ticked all the boxes.

No, they are in the On My Mac account in the Mac Contacts app, not iCloud.
or are they in a different format despite being in mac contacts? If so can the outlook contacts be exported in some other way to icloud?
Outlook is not compatible with iCloud, check Microsofts site if you need more verification.
If you want them in iCloud use Mac Contacts and move them from On My Mac to iCloud. This will remove them from Outlook.

Can't phone all contacts from Mac with Yosemite.

I can't phone all contacts from my Mac with Yosemite. Some of the audio icons are greyed out. Any solutions?

hmmmm....*strokes beard*
I'm assuming you want to transfer all your contacts between sim and phone memory all at once.
to do this, go to contacts on your phone then select "options", then select "Mark\Unmark". You then get a little side menu. in this side menu select "Mark All". all you phone contact should now have ticks next to them. Now Press "Options" again and now you should have the option to "Copy to sim Directory". and from sim to phone do this in reverse.
Peace out

ICloud won´t sync all contacts with Mac

Hardware and software involved:
Macbook Pro (bit older model) with fully updated Lion
iPhone 4 with fully updated newest iOS
Situation:
There are all contacts in iCloud. iPhone synces without issue and has all contacts in adress book. On Mac many contacts are missing.
Tested solutions on Mac:
1) Turned iCloud account off and on - no result, no change, iCloud still synces only some contacts
2) Turned iCloud adress book syncing on (while deleting all contacts on Mac) - no result, no change, iCloud still synces only some contacts
3) Deleting user/Library/applicationsupport/adress book - adress book synced more contacts (and different ones) then before, but still not all... Maybe around 1/2 contacts from iCloud.
Looking for help, I´m out of ideas. This is not some trivial error like looking in wrong tab at Adress Book (for example looking to On My Mac).
Thank you.

If your only issue is with duplicates I would go to your address book and click on the "red marker" up on the window. That should get you into main directory. There you should see at least two main lists:
On My Mac
iCloud
If you click on iCloud, there should be all entries with no duplicates - check if all your contacts are there. Then go to On My Mac and delete all contacts there. Problem solved (and if you have iPhone don't sync contacts over cable if you have iCloud sync active, that's where my duplicates came from).
My issue was more complicated. It started with duplicates which I have deleted as described above. Then I noticed I have all contacts on my iPhone and I can see all contacts on iCloud web page but in Mac there was only about half of them.
So after trying stuff for some time I have solved it by
1) deleting all contacts from Mac and turning iCloud off on Mac
2) copying all contacts from iPhone to Mac over cable to On My Mac directory
3) deleting all contacts from iPhone and iCloud manually, turning iCloud on iPhone off
4) copying all contacts from Mac back to iPhone
5) deleting all contacts from Mac (On My Mac)
6) turning iCloud on again and uploading contacts from iPhone to iCloud
7) turning iCloud on again on Mac and leting Mac sync
Complicated stuff, it's few days so I hope I have not forgotten something.
