Hi there,
I've used this commands to change the default iChat idle timeout which is 15 minutes:
+defaults write com.apple.ichatagent UserIdleTimeout 3000+
+killall iChatAgent+
but it didn't work .
can somebody help me to change this default timeout?
Thanks

That is the method The Hint was originally written for iChat 2 and was reported to be nit so effective in iChat 3
However as it is Leopard why not use the option in iChat > Preferences > Accounts > Security tab to Block others from seeing you are Idle ?

IChat "idle" status question

So, why would you want someone to not see "idle" status? Is this a security risk or something. Isn't it just about the same as "away" ?
I have only allow people in my buddy list to see me, so I am guessing if this is a security risk, that wouldn't matter in this case...right?

We've done this

One forum is enough. I read them all (iChat 3 does tend to be first though)

IChat Idle Status like Adium

I was wondering if anyone knew of a script or preference tweak that would allow an automatic Idle status like the one Adium deploys with their application, Where I can just choose a predetermined time as to how long I've gone "idle" and it continue to rack up the minutes from there on out without switching back to "Available" until i choose otherwise.
I realize that I could just set my status as "away" with the preference of not allowing people to see when I'm actually not at my computer, but there are times I would much rather go into an idle status to make my absence more believable even when i return.
I can't imagine this to be all that difficult as that most, including AOL's own AIM client, allows this. I just personally don't know where to begin. I've scoured through various forums looking for an answer and I'm just shocked this hasn't been asked before.
It is the only feature I miss from Adium but I love iChat's simplicity and design that much more for me to want to go back to Adium.

Hi,
Welcome to the  Discussions
The most I have seen on this is this Hint and comment set
http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=200402181751007&query=IChatIdletime
Even Chax, an iChat Add On, does it by setting an Away message rather than Idle
I am not sure it is in the Chax Version for Snow Leopard either. (Still in Alpha)

Idle status

I connected my printer to mac using usb, but the status of the printer is IDLE. When I try to print, in the print queue don't appears the document and don't let me print. How I can change the idle status and print?

Hi @zvo851 ,
I see by your post that you are unable to print. I will certainly do my best to help you.
Make sure the printer is connected directly to a wall outlet and the USB cable is connected directly to the computer. The USB cable shouldn't be longer then 6 feet. Try another USB port on the computer.You might have to try another USB cable.
Try and print a hardware self test on the printer to find out if it is a hardware or software issue.
Press and hold the Start Copy Black button () and the Start Copy Color button () until the product makes some noise.
Release both buttons. The self-test report prints.
Did the self test print?
Check the driver name that is installed for the printer. Make sure it shows just the printer's name.
Click the Apple menu and then click System Preferences. Click Printers & Scanners, highlight the printer name on the left side and on the right side of the screen it should show the printer's name. (Deskjet 1050)
If the full printer name isn't listed correctly, delete it and add the printer name back in from the list. Click the - sign to delete the driver and then click the + sign to add the driver, might have to click the drop down to select the printer's name to add it in.
How was the printer name listed?
Test the printer.
Did you download and install the newest drivers?
HP Deskjet 1050/1050A All-in-One Printer series - J410 Full Feature Software and Drivers.

Have a great day!

Changing iChat status with applescript

I have the basic commands to change the status in my iChat (v 5.0.1):
tell application "iChat"
set status to away (or available)
end tell
When I set my status as "away" everything works fine. The green dot turns red and the status message says away. But when I try to set it as "available" the dot turns back to green but the status message still says away. I have tried the command
set status message to "Available"
and that works but when I try to set it as away, the dot turns red but the status message still says "Available". So I tried the same command to change the status message but with "Away" instead when I wanted to change it to away and it worked, then I reversed everything to available and the status message would change but the dot would stay red. I wouldn't think it would be this hard. Any ideas? Thanks

Seems to be working today. Though it takes a while for the status message to change to available, but it is working

OIM 9.1 DB Recon Changes Locked Account status in OIM back to Provisioned

Hi,
I have a scheduled task that runs the OIM DBAccessReconTask but am seeing some unexpected behavior. Here are the steps to produce the error:
1. Provision a DB account to a user in OIM (this creates an account in the target database and the account shows in the user's resource profile with a status of "Provisioned")
2. Disable the DB account in OIM from the User's Resource profile screen (this successfully disables the account in the database and changes the account status to "Disabled")
3. Run the DBAccessReconTask
4. After the DBAccessRecon task completes the status of the DB account in the database is still disabled but in OIM on the user's resource profile screen it is marked as "Provisioned"
I did not expect this to be changed to provisioned in OIM since it is disabled in the database. Has anyone seen similar issues when running the DBAccessReconTask or know a way to fix this?

Hi Suren,
Thanks for the reply. Originally I thought your solution would work but after analyzing it closer there is a more fundamental problem we are having with the DBReconTask. We only want the reconciliation to take place going from OIM to the database and not vice versa (i.e. changes to an account in OIM should be pushed to the database but not from the database to OIM). However, currently if a change is made in the database (a role is added, the profile is changed, etc...) and the DBReconTask is run then it will be updated in OIM. Do you know how this can be achieved? These are the properties we currently use when creating the task:
Properties props = new Properties();
props.put("Target System Login Recon - Resource Object name:", ro.getName());
props.put("Target System User Recon - Resource Object name:", ro.getName());
props.put("Trusted Source Recon - Resource Object name:", "Xellerate User");
props.put("Server", itResource.getName());
props.put("Record Size", "ALL");
props.put("isTrusted", "NO");
props.put("DBName", "nodata");
props.put("ExcludeSystemUsers", "nodata");
props.put("ReconcileLockedUser", "YES");
props.put("Login Name", "nodata");

Hello All
We need to change the activity status if a follow up document is created from. E.g.

I need detailed steps regarding how to reach this

See if you can "exploit" CRM_COPY_BADI and function modules CRM_STATUS_CHANGE_EXTERN to change the User status or CRM_STATUS_CHANGE_INTERN for System status.

Is it possible to change the user status of a TECO Order

Hello Folks
Is it possible to changes the user status of a TECO Order?
I have tried to change it using the FM 'STATUS_CHANGE_EXTERN'. Its working fine for NON TECO Orders but not for TECO Orders.
On the other hand I was able to manually change the user status for a TECO Order in transaction IW32.
I need to change the user status from NFBK to FBK.
Please provide some inputs for the same.
Thanks n Regards
Ramesh

The simple way is via the Internationalization settings via ARD or RDP or Screen Sharing, either via System Preferences or (if enabled) via the menu bar. If you're looking for a lower-level approach, there's not AFAIK a direct command for this. As for one possible approach, might [threadID=2106201|http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2106201] help?

Exit or Badi for controlling the change of user status in notification

Hi,
I want to check the current user status of notification while saving the notificaton. If the current user status satisifies particular situation, then the notification should be save else not.
Is there any user exit or Badi which can be used to control the change of user status in notification.
Thanks
SUMIT

Hi Pushpa,
Thanks for the reply.
the problem over here is that the BADi IQS0_STATUS_MAINTAIN only allows to disable the user status.
the other function module STATUS_READ only fetches the data from JEST.
whereas my problem is that i want to check on the changed status on the screen(which is not saved also).
Appreciate your reply on the same.
Thanks

Can't change the 'compilation status' for multiple items in iTunes 8.

Hi there,
I've got an issue regarding the disappearance of the compilation 'tick box' when changing multiple items. Its there when you click on 'get info' for the individual track but its no longer there (in iTunes 8) when I want to change the compilation 'status' for multiple tracks at a time.
In iTunes 7 I selected all the tracks and changed their compilation status by accident, but now, in iTunes 8 I can't change this without going through my library, track by track!.
Please help.
Thanks,
Fred

Multiple Get info now has tabs - look on the options tab.
