Command 1 in Messages not bringing up Buddies Window

When I press Command 1 in Messages, it not bringing up Buddies Window. I can go to Window and select Buddies fine. Any ideas?

Hi,
So from there the Accounts are logged in (Ticked) in Messages > Accounts and Enabled in the Preferences > Accounts.
A Combined List (Buddies in the Window Menu) is Listed but CMD+1 does not bring the Buddy List window to the Front.
I notice that I have 11 accounts listed in Messages > Accounts of which Bonjour is one.
Not all are logged in
These are counted as 10 Non iMessage accounts in the Preferences > Accounts
Uploaded with Skitch!
My Bonjour account is Enabled. (It is one of the 11)
You seem to be saying you have six accounts in total that are showing and ticked/checked in Message Accounts and as a consequence you have 5 non iMessages accounts which are Enabled ...
... but ...
Then you say the Bonjour Account is NOT enabled.
This does not add up.
In an earlier post you stated...
If I change uncheck "Show all my accounts in one list" on the General Preferences tab then my Windows menu looks similar to the image you provided but the Command keys 1-6 (in my case)
In my Window Menu I show 9 Accounts (iMessages does not appear here) as I have one account not logged in.

I am not sure if I am missing something in your info or if this is part of the issue.
We may have to check if you (the MAc User account) has Permission to Write to the .plist involved.

Messages not showing in coversation window

I have just sent a new message but the message after i clicked send didnt show up in the conversation window, i now also think i have a reply as the time next to the contact name has change like it normally does when you recieve a new text but that message is not showing up either its just a blank screen. Can anyone help me with this
Thanx!

Close all open apps by double-tapping the home button, then swiping up and off the screen with the app window (not the smaller icon).
Reset your device: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until the screen goes black and you see the Apple, then let go. (No data loss)

Command + T does not open a new window

The title says it all. My gf's iMac doesn't open a new tab when using Command T. My MacBook Pro does. Our enabled Safari preferences are the same. Anyone know why this is?? Thanks in advance ~jeff

OK. A couple of other things to try in that case.
It may just be a corrupt preference file causing the issue, so quit Safari, trash this file and then restart Safari:
Hard drive > Users > Your Username > Library > Preferences > com.apple.Safari.plist
If that makes no difference, does it behave correctly when used from another user account on the same machine? If you don't have another account then use System Preferences > Accounts > \[+\] to create a temporary one for testing.

When started, the Forefox process starts but halts around 5K of memory and doesn't got past this to the point that it will not bring up a window.

A few weeks ago, Firefox messed up on an update and now it refuses to actually start short of working once per system boot. I have tried reinstalling and stuff like profile manager is also stopped by this lock-up. I feel it may have to do with my profile but I don't want to get rid of it. If there is a way to back up the profile manually so I can do a full reinstall or if there is a fix for this problem, it would be appreciated.

Messages menu status does not match Buddy List window

Using Messages in Yosemite, the status of my logged-in buddies listed in the menu bar does not match the status of my buddies in the Buddies window. I have buddies listed in the window that are not in the menu bar and vice versa.
It seems that the menu bar list may not be updating correctly--when I try to message them, the chat window sometimes says they are "idle"

Hi,
Sending Feedback to Apple rarely (if ever) gets a response. At iChat 3 release with OSX 10.4 there was an issue that I gave feedback for.
I also happened to mention the issue in the Lounge Area for "New Technical Issues" and the Host linked to the iChat forums there were back then contacted me about it and had me run some stuff for Engineering. (that's a possible once in 10 years like you).
iChat 5 in Snow Leopard
The process on how to display a particular Set of Buddies is different (as you will see with the next pic)
However I only see those "Available" in a full sense in the Menu Drop Down.
Idle (Amber) is technically Available + (a second level of Available if you like)
Yosemite/Messages 8+ (Mavericks is also listed as Messages 8)
The whole thing as I have several Accounts Logged in does fill my screen top to bottom.
These pics agree with your first paragraph.
I will let my MacBook Pro go Idle as it has one Account in iChat there that is not on my iMac and see if the Menu Drop down changes when it does.
I will have to wait for this to happen.

Windows 7 Command Prompt Message Errors (cmd.exe)

Opening a command prompt in Windows 7 and running any command results in error messages such as the ones below (in this case a dir command):
01/28/2010 09:06 AM    The system cannot find message text for message number 0x2373 in the message file for Application.
                                       Windows
      The system cannot find message text for message number 0x2378 in the message file for Application.
      The system cannot find message text for message number 0x2379 in the message file for Application.
For other commands it references "System" rather than "Application" in the error message. I've seen other posts online describing the same behavior linked to the copies of Win7 distributed at the Gartner Symposium in October as part of the general availability announcement (this is where I got my copy).
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

Explorer has never really been able to accept drag-dropped files from multiple users very well, i.e., dragging a file from a window from a user-opened folder into an admin-opened folder. It can be done though with a hack. What I have been able
to do in the past, as a workaround, is hot-login. Hot-login is as opposed to warm-login in which is logging off Explorer and logging back in as a different user, or cold-login which is rebooting the system. It is considered a hack by most Microsoft
professionals though is useful.
To hot-login, then, while logged in as a user use the Task Manager to stop the "explorer.exe" process. This will close all Explorer windows and cause your taskbar and you desktop icons to disappear, but you will still have other applications running,
such as your Cmd windows. Note that due to the user's credentials on that machine, you may need to do this using PsKill (part of PsTools, now a Microsoft Product), using the admin Cmd window itself. After doing that, immediately run explorer.exe
from the admin Cmd window before Explorer has a chance to rerun itself (usually several seconds, though it might never come back by itself).
Doing that should now load the taskbar and desktop back, and they may look different if you previously had them customized. This is because Explorer is now running as admin, as if you had logged into Windows as the admin account. But, part of
the OS is also still running as the user, such as the server and workstation services, so you may, perhaps, be able to drag-drop files between users interchangeably, at that point. In the least, running Explorer as admin has its enough advantages, in
some roles (like server administration), to be useful in and of itself.
This all may of course change after enough updates to Windows security.
Oh -- to access the user-specific desktop icons which are now gone from the actual desktop, find its icons in the respective subfolder in the \Users\ folder on the system drive and use them from there. It should in a \Desktop\ folder right in the respective
user folder. User-specific Quick Launch icons from the taskbar are probably in AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\, from the respective user folder.
Now again, this is a hack that I'd use as an Active Directory administrator. It is only needed once per Windows session, usually in conjunction with an AD admin account I had, as logged in and running Cmd via RunAs. Local administrator accounts
function the same way with this process. I don't expect Microsoft to officially endorse this process, so consider it from one power user to the next as the need arises.

My 120GB IPod classic is not recognized by my Windows 7 PC. When I plug the ipod into my computer I receive a message saying that the USD device is not recognized.

My 120GB IPod classic is not recognized by my Windows 7 PC. When I plug the ipod into my computer I receive a message saying that the USD device is not recognized. The Device Manager lists it as an Unknown Device. I've tried uninstalling iTunes and reinstalling it, but it had no affect. The odd thing is that our other iPod (160 GB Classic) is recognized on the same computer using the same USB cable. When I plug the ipod in question into another PC, the PC seems to recognize the iPod and lists it in Windows Explorer (iTunes is not installed on this machine). There seems to be something out of wack with this PC/iPod combo. Any thoughts on what I can do to try to resolve this issue? I tried all of the steps listed here, but they didn't help me. http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Are you plugging the iPod into a high powered USB 2.0 port on the back of your PC? Have you tried a different USB cable?
What happens if you try to reset the device with it still connected to the PC?

Has this iPod ever worked on this PC or is this the first time you have time you have tried connecting it?

After upgrading to 3.6.12 my browser is not opening pop-up windows and while closing the browser giving a message that some tabs are open and shall the same be closed? I have not encountered this problem with eralier version. Is there any known issues?

Some of my web pages open a new pop-up window for entering credentilas and display sensitive information. After upgrading t0 3.6.12 i found that firefos is not opening pop-up windows (earlier version allowed). When I close the browser, it gives a quit message saying there are unclosed tabs and windows of firefox. shall they be saved for next time start.
Also observed that the memory usage (from Task manager)is very high compared to earlier ones and the process is not closed even if I close the browser.

3.6.13 is also behaving similarly.

I tried updating to itunes 10.5 and now when i try to open itunes i get a message saying "Apple application support was not found" error 2 (windows error 2)

Ok so I went to update my itunes 9 to itunes 10.5 and now I get and error message "Apple application support was not found" error 2 (windows error 2) when ever I try to run itunes and iv been trying to fix this for like a month and let me tell you iTunes for windows is **** and I really want Icloud for my iphone 4 and yes iv tried uninstalling everything by apple in the correct order and reinstalling them after restart atleast honestly 20 - 30 times but nothing worked so if anyone can please help me I have windows 7 and a hp intel pentium computer

Install 7-Zip (free), or a free trial of WinRAR, and use one of them to extract the contents of the iTunesSetup.exe or iTunesSetup64.exe installer file, then try installing AppleApplicationSupport.msi as a standalone component. Even if it won't install you may get a more useful error message as to why not.

Firefox is very slow to respond when opening and nearly always stops responding altogether even refusing to react to Task Manager "End Program@ command. The "not responding@ error message also comes up during navigation on line.

Firefox is very slow to respond when opening and nearly always stops responding altogether, even refusing to react to the Task Manager "End Program" command. The "not responding" error message also comes up during navigation on line. Several attempt have to be made to get on line. A loss of stability seems to be endemic at the moment.

When I try to create a new Message on my Mac, Messages does not bring up my Contacts

I have followed the instructions to setup Messages, I can send messages to the email addresses that I have memorized, but when I try to create a new Message on my Mac, Messages does not bring up my Contacts when I type in the search field for a person that has an iPad or iPhone.
This sems out of sorts for an Apple product. Their stuff normally just works.
For some reason, My Mac Mini with Mountain Lion doesn't recognize my contact names, or it isn't synched with my contacts...
Anybody else want to weigh in, please?
Thank you!

Hi,
I would point out that I did say...
Of course the Contacts List has to have people listed in it.
The Error seems to be that you have not even got an My Card.
The OS when the computer is brand new and you set up the first Admin Account should create at least once Card entry for the Address Book/Contacts which has the Head and Shoulders icon (the My Card)
The does presume the the first account on the Mac doers have a person's First name and Last name to work with.
Of course not everyone sets things up this way.
Anyhow
To Check the Contacts List open the app.
Go to the Preferences.
Go to the Accounts section.
This should list at least two "accounts
One is for Syncing with iCloud and the other is for storing the Info on the Mac itself
In System Preferences > iCloud you can only set up one Apple ID to be the iCloud ID.
If you do or have changed this you may have extra accounts in the Contacts > Preferences > Accounts

got notification that new Itunes version is available, once i installed it I'm no longer able to open Itunes, I get the error message, Not installed properly. Reinstall itunes. Error 7(Windows error127), I tried repairing itunes, Apple Aplication support, apple mobile device support, bonjour and I even uninstalled and reinstalled Itunes and still problem exist, any solution?
I have windows 8

I got this message today too. I understand that my music is stored on my computer, however I want to be certain that if I re-install iTunes, it won't erase my library....playlists, playcounts, checked songs, etc.

I have tried several times to install iTunes update 11.1.4 on my PC. I get a message saying that install was not successful and an error message of MSVCR80.dll not present, Error 7, (Windows error 126). I am told to reinstall iTunes, but nothing changes

I have tried several times to install iTunes update 11.1.4 on my PC. I get a message saying that install was not successful and an error message of MSVCR80.dll not present, Error 7, (Windows error 126). I am told to reinstall iTunes, but nothing changes. What next? I've not had this problem with other updates requested by Apple.

I have also had the same problem with my Win 7 32 bit computer. I had great help from Apple techs in Montreal and Orlando for 2.5 hours. They helped me remove every trace of Apple products and clean the registry in two different ways. Each install gave the same problem! If Apple techs can't fix it (on some of our machines) then we are really in trouble. They promised to raise it with the "engineers" and get back to me with a solution. I am waiting and hoping. Otherwise maybe version 11.1.5 will have a fix ??

Itunes will not open message reinstall itunes error 7(windows error999)

I have unistalled and reinstalled several times will not open. Running windows 7, worked for a few weeks then this message error 7(windows error999)
