Buddy is offline but I can see status

A user who also has a mac and uses ichat is shown as offline on my buddy list, but I can see the status they had earlier. This does not happen for any other buddies of mine. The only thing I can think of is that they are invisible but it still shows status?

Thanks but I actually just want to know why this happens. Are they invisible? It doesn't happen with any other user, a majority of which use ichat.

  • My status is set to available, but nobody can see me on their buddy lists, therefore I must initiate all conversations and video chats. How can I fix this? I am not on invisible and am not logged in from anywhere else.

    Hi
    It would be helpful to know which iChat version and what type of Account you have ?

  • I Suddenly Have No Buddies Online but They Can See Me?

    i am using a MBP 13" running SL fully up to date.
    last week my iChat stopped showing anyone online (they are greyed out) in my contact list but they can see me. i have restarted deleted my accounts and out them back and nothing. i am also having the same issue with the iPhone i sync with my MBP?
    here is what i have tried:
    1. installed Chax for SL and no luck
    2. installed Adium and i does the exact same thing as iChat
    any help would be greatly appreciated as i use this for work interactions.
    thanks

    If logging the iPhone out does not work on it's Own try re-setting the option to Push the Stuff to the phone (In Accounts in iChat about Enabling the Mobile Phone option)
    The restart iChat and see if that helps.
    With iChat in the General section there is an Option to set you Status To Off Line on Quit. The default is to not do this.
    This leaves you with a partial Login (it's for Off Line Messaging)
    The Mobile Phone option means that you have a virtual presence at AIM All the time.
    If they have a problem with the servers (And it is not uncommon) the "flags" at the servers that say where a message is going and what your On-line Status appears to be gets messed up.
    It is most likely about getting things reset from just one app or device.
    (you may need to set iChat to NOT allow Multiple Logins to sort it)

    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?

    Have you upgraded to iPhoto 9.6 for compatibility with Yosemite? If not, try that first.
    It looks like iPhoto has lost the connection between the thumbnails and the original image files.
    This can be caused by a corrupted iPhoto library, or the originals have been deleted or moved.
    Try first to rebuild your iPhoto Library:
    If you do not have a current backup of the iPhoto library, make a copy of the library, but do not overwrite any previous backup.
    Launch iPhoto with the ⌥⌘-key combination (option-command) held down.
    Select "rebuild" from the first aid panel.  This may take a while for a large library.
    Can you now see your photos again?
    If not, rebuild the library with iPhoto Library manager as described by Old Toad:            Re: iphoto crashed

  • Why can't I see others in my home sharing, but they can see me?

    I have set up my home sharing and my members can see my libraries, but I can not see their names, or libraries.  Why?

    Howdy slrsij,
    It sounds like for some reason you cannot see libraries on other devices but they can see your library just fine. I would recommend you perform troubleshooting steps 4-7 from the following article:
    Troubleshooting Home Sharing
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the best,

  • When I connect my apple tv to my access point upstair and connect my ipad to the same access point i cant see my apple tv when i open up the airplay menu on my ipad. but i can see the apple tv in the living room downstair which connect to the main router

    when I connect my apple tv to my access point upstair and connect my ipad to the same access point i cant see my apple tv when i open up the airplay menu on my ipad. but i can see the apple tv in the living room downstair which connect to the main router.
    Below is some info i get about ports.
    I tried to set DMZ on my main router to have full access to ported to access point upstair which is in the ip of 192.168.1.2 and the main router in the living room is the gateway router with the 192.168.1.1 ip.
    I still cant see apple tv after i try the DMZ method.
    any suggestion ?
    These network ports are used by Apple TV for communications on your network.
    TCP port 123 is used to communicate with a network time server.
    TCP port 3689 is used to communicate with iTunes while using the iTunes Library Sharing feature.
    UDP port 5353 is used by Apple TV for automatically finding computers with iTunes on your network using Bonjour.
    TCP port 80 is used for communicating with podcast servers.
    TCP port 80 and 443 are used for basic and secure communications with the iTunes Store via the Internet.
    TCP port 53 is used for regular DNS.
    These are well-known ports used by Apple products, like iTunes. If you can use all the features of iTunes, these ports are likely already open on your firewall or NAT router. Note: These ports may also used by other services such as YouTube and Flickr.

    When the Apple TV is paired with a remote, it means only that remote can control it, when it's not paired any remote can control it. You will need a remote for each of your devices.

  • Can't see the other person, but they can see me. A...

    i was wondering if it is possible, this person i believe uses a Android or Iphone, for the camera to be turned off for video chat? I can never see the other person but they can see me - and i can see myself during the video chat. My video which they see i also see takes up the whole screen. This issue also is the same for when i use Windows and video chat with this person.

    Hello pfierrobb:
                You have to enable it in SKYPE.  Open up Sykpe click on tools then select options . When that windows opens select video settings. Then you well see select webcam click on White box select your web cam choices. Windos 7 HP computers it is called HP web camra filter. I just close out the filter stuff if I am not using it during chat session. Some HP computers call it cybrlink web cam.  If your web cam isn't listed yet the web cam still works in other applications your Skype software might be corrupted. Just uninstall Sykpe and reinstated it back with a new copy download  http://www.skype.com/en/download-skype/skype-for-computer/   If you are still having issues please let us know. Thank you frrw. 

  • The songs on my Ipod Classic wont play at all although you can feel and hear the machinery working hard. The tracks are not playng at all but you can see the Ipod rewinding them all and returning to the album. And this happens to the second IPOD I have!

    The songs on my Ipod Classic wont play at all although you can feel and hear the machinery working hard. The tracks are not playng at all but you can see the Ipod rewinding them all and returning to the album. And this happens to the second IPOD I just got!

    First off, I would STRONGLY suggest that a external hard drive would make you life much easier by at least being able to back up your songs on the external drive for when you need them. Even if you don't want them in the iTunes library, you can have them all ready on the external to be re-added as needed. You can get 100's of gigs for under $100 shipped.
    Anyway, since you used Yamipod, are all the songs back on the computer? If so, I would go ahead and restore the iPod, let iTunes then resync everything back to the iPod, then switch it back to manual and see if the restore and resync clears up the issue.

    Third-party NTFS software interferes with the Apple NTFS drivers, which control whether you can see the Bootcamp partition in the Startup Disk option. As a test, can you uninstall all third-party NTFS software and check System Preferences -> Startup Disk?

  • Firefox 3.6.13 opens in Windows 7-32bit, but I can see it only in Task Manager - no window at all.

    My Firefox 3.6.13 was working fine, till 2 days ago. From Wednesday, it opens but I can see no window. I check with the Task Manager of Windows 7-32bit and I find it is ''open''. I've lost all my bookmarks and passwords and I have to spend a lot of time to put everything together in a... new browser.
    I don't have a crash report, as Firefox is not crashing - it's just invisible. I checked my laptop for malware and viruses (with Bitdefender and Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware) and it's clean.
    I totally uninstalled Firefox and I installed it again with a new clean profile, but exactly the same happens.
    Please, help!
    Thank you.
    Sokratis.

    It's possible that you are having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
    Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not caused by one (or more than one) of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] (don't forget to select ''Disable all add-ons'' when you start safe mode). If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and themes and [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+plugins this one] for plugins.
    If you need support for one of your add-ons, you'll have to contact its author.
    If the problem does not disappear when all add-ons are disabled, please tell me, so we can work from there. Please have no fear of following my instructions to the line, as all can be easily undone.
