Can't add buddy to list

I just bought a new Macbook, my friend has an older macbook. When I try to add her to my buddy list (which was from my AIM) she pops up...then is gone. I also cannot not do a video chat with her. What should I do?

I, too, am having these problems. I took some advice from another forum about deleting com.apple.ichat.AIM.plist as well as another .plist (something to do with agent??) file from Library/Preferences. Now, ichat is completely unusable! (I did try getting these out of my trash, but I accidently emptied the trash - doh).
I just found some info on re-installing ichat... I might try that out. It would be nice for apple to fix this bug though.
Here are the re-install instructions if anyone is looking for them, although, after the advice I took from the last forum, I'm a little skeptical to even try this!
Put in your install disk 1(the disk that came with your mac) then after the disk has opened double click on "Optional installs" then double click on the "Optional installs.mpkg".
Then when you get to "Custom install......." click on the triangle by appications and then tick iChat and then continue with the install.
When done download and install the 10.5.5 combo to bring iChat back up to date.

  • I can not add the smart lists to ipod

    I can not add the smart lists to ipod, itunes If (when clicking the lists are empty) but notas add to the ipod touch are not added automatically.

    Experiencing exactly the same error. The error only occurs on the clustered gateway. Non-clustered gateways work fine. I followed Kristian's whitepaper exactly except that I didn't use a service template to create the gateway cluster. All NICs are connected
    to the proper switches. There are no relevant events/errors on the hosts or the gateway cluster nodes.
    Troubleshooting steps taken so far...
    1. reboot everything
    2. deleted the network service from VMM and re-added
    3. Verified that HNV is working on the host cluster by disabling "host dedicated to gateway" and moving an NVGRE VM to the cluster.
    4. Verified all other networks are working properly on the host cluster.
    5. Deleted and re-added all NICs in the gateway cluster.
    6. Verified that the gateway can be configured using Powershell on the host and remote.
    Now I'm going to create another clustered gateway and another non-clustered gateway to reproduce the problem.
    Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

  • Can not add buddy

    ok let me explain this again.. I am not able to add buddy,
    I get into Ichat, click on the buddy tab that drops down several options (add buddy, change my picture, invite buddy to chat etc..) everything on this pull down menu is in light grey except .. change my picture.. in other words.. I can not access those options.. I can only access the change my picture option. I though ICHAT was easy to use.. we can not figure this out!

    Hi Billy,
    If you don't remember the Set Up Screens (Pics here) or clicked through the screens with out adding anything you will need to set up either an AIM account or .mac account name. (see link above)
    After that you will need to Add Buddies
    Once you have Buddies in the Buddy list you will be able to Text chat to them at least depending on how you have set up your modem for iChat.
    If you can not see the Buddy List Window use the Apple key and 1 together (Apple and 2 for Bonjour Apple and 3 for Jabber).

  • Library filters: can I add to the list of metadata fields that I can search by?

    Is it possible to add to the list of metadata fields that lightroom can search for images by?
    I know about the 'Any searchable ... ' but that does now allow me to search for specific conditions -
    I am using some of the IPTC fields as a way to classify images of mine for various purposes and would like to
    do something like search for images where the iptc source field has a certain value while the instructions
    fields has some other value. I do not think this is possible using the available tools.
    So, I'd like to be able to add these fields to the menu of possible fields in Smart collections
    of the library metadata filter.
    So, am I missing something obvious? Can this be done?
    Cheers,
    Bonny

    Hi Rob,
    Thanks for this plug in - it's really great.
    The fields I'm looking for are part of the IPTC fields, and since I'm entering them in LR, they're not part of the image,
    and I assume not something that exiftool can find in the image. So unfortunately I do not think I can use this plugin
    for the actual purpose I'm intending.
    I'll shed some light on what I'm doing and therefore what I'm looking for:
    I have a collection of images (of people) that I need to match names to.
    I use some IPTC fields (that are otherwise useless for me) to store this data.
    These fields are the "Job Identifier", "Instructions", "Creditline" and "Source" in the IPTC tagset.
    At  some point I then want to look for errors in the data entry, etc and so I need to search for various
    values of those fields for validation purposes mainly.
    I created a tagset using Jeffrey's plugin and it allows me to view and use only the info I'm after, but no searching.
    Your plugin provides more complete functionality (tagset creation as well as the searchability). The only question
    is how do I go about using your plugin to use the fields I'm using?
    Cheers,
    Bonny

  • Can't add Buddy

    When I try to add a buddy, the name stays on my list for about five seconds, then it just disappears, like I removed it...
    anyone know what could be causing this?
    thanks

    Nevermind my last post. The problem is back again, it only works temporary, at least for me, I'm not sure if these other people have come to notice the problem was back, just have not noticed or actually is still working but I am not restarting my system every time to fix this problem since I use the sleep feature constantly. Also, I do not feel like changing the settings in iChat every time and so on.
    @ManchesterCA, the files are located under your Macintosh HD > Library > Preferences. (/users/your-username/Library/Preferences). Then try the suggested fix.
    If you and others that have tried the "fix" could post back on your experience, if it still works for you or not, that'd be appreciated. I had it working for awhile, quit iChat and put my mac to sleep and came back later and the problem was back again.
    I know it's a for sure problem with iChat. There are no problems with Adium (latest version) as well as ALL Windows versions of AIM.

  • How can I add applications not listed in the root Applications folder?

    I'm running in a non-administrative (i.e. not the first) user account, I have my own Applications folder with apps that I have downloaded and installed myself. Is it possible to add these apps to the list in Automator?

    I believe he was answering what you were implying by implying that Automator would automatically be aware of the actions once you've used the application.
    If it doesn't have any actions, then the app won't show up in Automator. If you've downloaded actions for an app separate from it, you can add the actions using an option in Automator's File menu. More about that here.
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Automator/1.0/en/ensm1010.html
    Just to be clear, it shouldn't matter where the app is installed, just make sure you've used the app so the system will know about more about the app. The same thing goes for Spotlight, file types, services (application menu > Services), and so on. It shouldn't matter where the app is located, the system will discover what the app has available when you open that app.
    If you believe an app should have Automator actions, then review the website of the developer of that app for info about what the actions are and whether they made them separate from the app for some reason. Another possibility is the actions might be available only in certain versions of the app you've installed. Definitely check the the app's developer's website for info about its actions.

  • I can't add any new lists to my Reminders

    When I click 'new list' or the plus button in the top right hand corner, it just takes me back to the 'my calendar' list. I've searched through my settings and I can't find anything to do with it there. My software is up-to-date (iOS 8.1.3) and I have been trying to find a solution for a while but I've come up with nothing. Any suggestions would be great.

    HI,
    Go to ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari
    Move the "cache.db" file to the Trash. Relaunch Safari.
    If that doesn't help, Go to the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari/Preferences. Make note of all the preferences under each tab. Quit Safari. Now go to ~/Library/Preferences and move this file com.apple.safari.plist to the Desktop.
    Relaunch Safari and see if that makes a difference. If not, move the .plist file back to the Preferences folder. If Safari functions as it should, move that .plist file to the Trash.
    Also, if you didn't repair disk permissions after the update, do that as soon as it's convenient.
    Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.

  • I can't add new contact list in my ipad 2 with os 5

  • Can't add to display list from a class

    in my Main.as file, this works as expected:
    var t:TextField = new TextField();
    t.text = "hello in main";
    addChild(t);
    However, when I create an instance of a class, and I have
    that same code in the constructor of that class, the text doesn't
    show up. I am creating the text field variable at the class level,
    not the contstructor level, so I think the variable should still
    hang around.
    Do I have to get an instance of the stage, or something?
    thanks

    I don't know anything about your application but there are at
    least two ways to add an instance from within other class:
    1. stage.addChild(t)
    2. Instantiate the class that creates text field --> add
    this instance to the display list of where you instantiated it
    (given that you class that creates the text field is a display ob
    ject too).
    Sorry, I cannot be more specific unless I know more about
    your architecture and logic.

  • Can I add my music list on 2 computers?

    I have purchase a 2nd laptop to travel with and want to include my music list to it as well as keep it on my original system. Will I be able to use itunes the same on both systems?

    Yes, you can.
    You need to copy your iTunes library to your new computer and to authorize this computer to play any purchased items. See this article for how to transfer the library:

  • HT1694 how can i add the contact list from my msn account

    I need help entering my contact list

    The instructions are in the article that you were reading when you posted your question that ultimately led you to here. Take a look at the kb article again.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1694?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
    After you set up the account, you have to select the items that you want to sync so go to Settings>Mail, contacts, calendars and tap the MSN email account. In the next screen you should be able to select Mail, Contacts, Calendars and Reminders and you can choose how many days back to sync email.

  • How can I add a weekly list of chores to my calendar?

    I know how to post things to my calendar.  I just want them to repeat every week.  Ideas?

    Hey ama320,
    Thanks for the question. When you create a calendar event in iCal, you should have the option to schedule it as recurring:
    Mac Basics: iCal (OS X Lion and earlier)
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2513
    Schedule an event on a calendar
    8. If you're scheduling a recurring event, such as an event that happens once a week, choose an interval from the "repeat" pop-up menu.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

  • Can't add to lists with workflows

    Our security person turned windows firewall on this week. Now users can't add to any list that has a workflow attached. The only thing I can find in logs is "This event is generated when a logon session
    is destroyed. It may be positively correlated with a logon event using the Logon ID value. Logon IDs are only unique between reboots on the same computer." (event 4634)
    My boss won't let me turn the firewall back off unless I can prove that this is the issue. Am I right?
