Cant add a friend ????? Please help .

i keep trying to add a friend and every time i add her , her screen name blinks three times and disappears ? can any one help me . She is running windows and is chatting through aim . I am on an iMac running on Leopard ( have all my updates ) and obviously am using iChat .
null

Figured it out Thanks to Ralph in one of his former post :
If you have a contact in your address Book already and try to add the same Real Name in iChat when you add their Screen Name you will get the disappearing Buddy result.
If for some reason the iChat > Preferences > Accounts > Security Settings tab has got the Block List turned On then the same thing can happen as new Buddies get added to the Block List in Error.
Try Setting the options to Allow All.
There is also an Increasing set of related Issues if you also have not been able to login properly recently.
See this FAQ http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1462798
I think the Alert message lost something in Translation. I think it should have been something like "... Cannot Complete the Request..."
This may also have something to do with @Mac moving to MobileMe

    Hi, SillDeividas.  
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    Here is an article that I would recommend taking a look at for this issue.  
    Get help with Touch ID
    Make sure that you're using the latest version of iOS.
    Make sure that your fingers and the Home button are clean and dry.*
    Cover the Home button completely. Don't tap too quickly, don't press down hard, and don't move your finger while Touch ID is scanning. Make sure that your finger touches the metal ring around the Home button.
    If you're using a case or screen protector, make sure it doesn't cover the Home button or the surrounding ring. If it does, remove the case or screen protector and try again.
    Tap Settings > Touch ID & Passcode and make sure that iPhone Unlock or iTunes & App Store is on. Also make sure that you've enrolled one or more fingerprints.
    Try enrolling a different finger.
    If you can't enroll any of your fingers, take your device to an Apple Retail Store, Apple Authorized Service Provider, or contact AppleCare for help.
    * Moisture, lotions, sweat, oils, cuts, or dry skin might affect fingerprint recognition. Certain activities can also temporarily affect fingerprint recognition, including exercising, showering, swimming, cooking, or other conditions or changes that affect your fingerprint.

    No app on the iPod is required.                            
    - If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected, on a computer browser go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
    - You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
    - If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
    - Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
    - There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it unless you had iOS 7 on the device. With iOS 7, one has to enter the Apple ID and password to restore the device.
    - Apple will do nothing without a court order

  • I get problem loading page (error 404) it says the page cannot be found when i try to access the game Mobsters through my mysapce account and i cannot access it no longer through firefox and i want to find out why i cant, can you guys please help?

    i cant access my mobsters account through myspace. every time i try to access it i get "problem loading page" "this page cannot be found" "404 error" and it wont let me access it. myspace works fine but as soon as i click on the mobsters app i get the 404 error, this page cannot be found, problem loading page! can you please help?
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == i try to access mobsters game through myspace

    I dont understand the answer
    '''''""The problem can be solved by opening FF and choosing Tools...Add On's...select the SEARCH addon and choose UNINSTALL...restart FF browser when asked, then reload Mobsters. This worked for me. The suggestion on the 404 that says to remove Search via Add/Remove Programs is completely BS, as Search doesnt show there. ""'''''

  • Need to authorise a song to play on itunes, I do this and a message saying 3 out of 5 pcs have been authorised, paid 99p for song. Not happy if I cant play it. Please help if you can!

    Please Help!

    Hi LauraD25,
    Its unfortunate that your music is not playing.
    If you could please provide some more information so I can help you.
    In the title it states you have authorized the comptuer already and it is still not allowing you to play the song.
    If you right click the song that will not play - then click Get Info - in the window that appears it will show Account- Take not at what is the account name listed? Is it the same account you just authorized? Is it a friend or family members account?

  • CANT INSTALL ITUNES 9. please help!

    i keep trying to install the new iTunes and i am unable to no matter what i do.
    ive downloaded the file 3 different times trying to see if itll change but doesnt. ive done some troubleshooting from apples help.
    i keep getting the error message when trying to install:
    "There is a plobrem with this WIndows Installer package. A program reguired for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your support personal or package vendor."
    please help me someone...

    This message often relates to a problem with Apple software update. So try this first:
    Go to Add remove programs and find Apple Software update. Try repairing it.
    Select Change>>repair.
    If that works, try installing iTunes.
    Otherwise try uninstalling any instance you find of Apple Software update. That probably will not work if repair didn't.
    Next try an installer cleanup.
    Download and install Microsoft Installer cleanup utility, there are instructions on the page as well as the download. Note that what you download is the installer not the program – you have to run it to install the program.
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301/
    To run the program – All Programs>>Windows Install Cleanup
    Remove any instance you find of Apple software update with the cleanup utility.
    Download a fresh copy of the iTunes installer and save it on your desktop.
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Restart your computer and try installing iTunes.
