Can't add ANY buddy to AIM list in admin account

Hi,
When I use iChat from the admin account, it is absolutely impossible to add any buddy to AIM list because : the "+" button doesn't exist at the bottom of the window and the option is greyed out in "contact". If I use iChat from another user account, it works just fine.
Can anyone help please?

Have you tried deleting the plist.
Go to Users/(your account)/Library/Preferences and delete com.apple.ichat.plist.
Restart iChat.

  • Can not add a buddy to my list

    Ichat version 4. OS 10.5.6.
    I am trying to add a buddy to my list. I type the name, it appears in the list, blinks, I can see the custom icon of the person, and than it disappears.
    I can also not chat with the person etc. the person can see me however.
    Can someone help fix this?

    Go to IChat in the menu bar > Preferences > Accounts.
    Log out of AIM and then use the Server Settings tab
    Set the port to 443.
    Log back in again.
    did not work.
    "I've had this problem for weeks until tonight. I tried all the fixes listed and nothing seemed work. Here's what fixed it...I went to ichat>preferences>accounts and deleted my account...I then re-entered all the information as if it was a new account and all my buddies were on the list...including the entry that would disappear after 5 seconds. Let me know if this works."
    but this did! thanks Defcom!

  • Can't add any more buddies, but i always could, even over the limit..

    On my iChat buddy list (on an AIM account), I have a lot over the 200 maximum, and it has always worked fine. I had almost 300 buddies, and then tried to add a few more. The first one worked, but the second two adds didn't. Is there a way to fix this other than deleting some buddies?

    You pay a serious price for the "quick and easy" part, buy
    you may not be
    aware of it yet.

    There is no limit on the number of AP elements a page can
    have.

    This would mean that you aren't really removing the element
    from either
    Design or Code view. If the code is there, the element is
    there. If the
    code is not there, the element is not there.
    > Anyone got any ideas?
    It would be hard to diagnose what might be happening without
    seeing your
    page and its code. Can you post a link?

  • I have two apple id's one from my old laptop and one from my iPhone. I saved my iTunes library to my external hard drive and then tried to transfer it to my iMac. My music skips like a scratched cd now and I can't add any to my iPhone. Help please!

    I have two apple id's one from my old laptop and one from my iPhone. I saved my iTunes library to my external hard drive right before my old mac laptop died and then tried to transfer it to my new iMac. Now when I try to play my old music it skips like a scratched cd. Also, now I can't add any music to my iPhone unless it was purchased recently through itunes and downloaded through icloud. I tried to "Organize" my library in hopes of correcting the problem but my iMac just ejects my external harddrive part way through. Please help!

    Ejects the harddrive?
    Of what did your old Mac die?
    It sounds to me like you have some file corruption somewhere.  Either in the transfer of your library to the external or the external itself is flaky if it keeps ejecting.

  • My computer crashed. So does this mean I can not add any more music to my ipod from a different computer without all the songs being erased? Can I sync my ipod to a new computer if I allow all the songs to be erased?

    My computer crashed. So does this mean I can not add any more music to my ipod from a different computer without all the songs being erased? The ipod works fine and now i got a new computer. So it seems like my only options are leaving my ipod in a state where i cant add anymore songs or erasing all my songs and trying to use my ipod from my new computer. Can someone please inform me on how to have my ipod work from a different computer, even if i have to erase my songs. Thanks.

    Yes, if you choose the Erase and Sync option (or restore your iPod) you will be allowed to sync your iPod with the new computer.
    If you would like to save the content that's currently on your iPod, see this older thread from another forum member Zevoneer discussing the different ways to copy the content on an iPod back to your PC.

  • Just updated to iTunes 10.2.1 and now can't add any new songs.

    My MACbook is running 10.5.8 and just last week I updated to iTunes 10.2.1 but now I can't add any new songs at all. I go through the motions but when I check the "recently added" checklist, it's blank. The song is never added to my iTunes library. Is there a fix for this?

    RESOLVED.
    I tried updating iTunes to 10.2.2 thinking this might somehow help me but same situation. Upon further investigation, the set of MP3s I was trying to add didn't  have the typical MP3 logo on them. When I tried to delete them from my system, it said "in use by application". I forced a delete. I copied the MP3s again to my MACbook and this time was successful in adding them. Looks like it was a bad set of MP3s and not iTunes.

  • ITunes is saying that I have over 4.78 GB under the category of "other", making it so my iPhone 4 can't add any data (music, apps, pictures, etc.). I'm currently using only 1.3 GB of storage on my iPhone, and the rest is "other". How do I fix this?

  • I am considering a Apple iMac but would be interested in adding a second monitor. Does it have to be an Apple monitor or can i add any monitor with a thunderbolt cable and DVI or vGA adapter?

    I am considering a Apple iMac but would be interested in adding a second monitor. Does it have to be an Apple monitor or can i add any monitor with a thunderbolt cable and DVI or vGA adapter?

    I found that the Thunderbolt input accepts the mini-DVI (in my case converter to VGA for a tutorial use monitor)
    BUT, you have to really oush it in 'til it clicks.  I thought it too loose until I tried it.  works just fine!!

  • Can't add mailboxes to gmail but when I try the same procedure with Bell mail I don't get an edit button so can't add any mailboxes.

    I have 2 email accounts Gmail and Bell mail. I can add mailboxes to gmail but when I try the same procedure with Bell mail I don't get an edit button so can't add any mailboxes.

    Mailboxes can be added only to IMAP accounts. Is Bell setup as IMPAP or POP?

  • HELP! I can't add any clips to the storyline.

    It used to work fine, dragging clips to the storyline or using Insert or Append.
    Now I can't add any clips to the storyline, dragging doesn't seem to drag any clips, Append and Insert don't react.
    I create a new project, and I see the storyline, but can't add anything to it.

  • Can't add any users while logged in as the ADMIN

    Back in my post, http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=5314598#5314598 , I was stuck in a broken auto login, unable to get past the solid blue screen. I was able to fix that but now I can not add any new users to the accounts pane. Logged in as the ADMIN, I click on the + and nothing happens. I can not add anymore accounts. What can I do to solve this?

    It is probably some residual effect from your single user mode actions detailed in your previous post.
    Run *Repair Permissions* from Disk Utility to see if that is the cause.
    If that doesn't fix it, try deleting the com.apple.loginwindow.plist from your admin account's Library/Preferences folder.
    There is also the same file in
    HD/Library/Preferences/com.apple.loginwindow.plist
    but I am not sure about the consequences of deleting that, as I've never done it.
    Whichever you delete, log out and log back in again to re-create them.

  • Can't add any new email account - Bug with Ios 6.1.3?

    For unknown reason, I can't add any new email account, I get stuck with when I have entrered my email address and password. In fact, the system says " checking" but nothing is happening. Do you have any idea?
    Somebody proposed me to reset Safari which I did with same result.
    I have two Iphone and 1 Ipad and I have exactly the same problem on all of them.

    I finally found the reason, it was linked with my email suffix which was a shorten version. When I put the long one, my email address has been recognized. The strange things is the fact, I have set up earlier the same account in pop instead of imap without any issue. I need to fight with the server name too as my standard incoming server was not recogized on imap (no reason as it works with other system). However, I found my way and it works.
    Thank you for your help. Maybe my demand will help somebody else.

  • Can't add any album artwork

    Hi. When I add any album to itunes, I can't add any artwork for the album after. I use EAC for the trasfer of the songs and when I import them to itunes, I copy the album cover from internet and paste it to the left corner square. Sometimes it works but as soon as I switch songs the artwork disappears. I tried to add it by going to get info and by selecting all songs and nothing works. Any help would be appreciated.

    What format are the tracks in? WAV won't take artwork. Anything else is likely to be a permissions problem - your account (or everyone) and SYSTEM need full access, files must not be read only..
