Company is merging with another company. How do I add other company's Bonjour/Messenger buddy list to our company's Bonjour/Messenger buddy list?

So the company I work for is merging with another company. Our company already has an internal Bonjour/Messages set up so that we can all communicate to each other. The company that we're merging with has the same.
How do I merge their Bonjour/Messenger Buddy List with our Bonjour/Messenger Buddy List so it's all in one list?
Much thanks!!!

Hi,
It will depend how and where the other computers are.
Broadly speaking any Mac computer on the same LAN using iChat or Messages with the Bonjour account enabled will see all the other Macs (The app reads the computer User's Contacts App (Address Book) My Card and broadcasts the name)
This works up to the point you go beyond 255 computers or devices.
The router will have one IP allowing for 255 devices to be connected.
To state this another way.
The Bonjour account in Messages or iChat is a self connecting, self populating Buddy list.
Your Name is read from the Address Book on older systems or the Contacts app in Mountain Lion and above  at the one called the My Card and this is broadcast as your "Screen Name".
You see the names in the Buddy list that correspond to other peoples My Card.
On this iMac I am using I am "Ralph Johns"
On my G4 tower I am "Ralph G4" and on my laptop I am "Ralph MacBook Pro"
This means if I hook up the three using Bonjour I know which is which.
(As an aside this also allows me to separate them out on AIM and Jabber lists as well as I have the My Card for this computer and Address Cards for each others)

    Since Prelude doesn't work with Red footage, how can I add logging info to a file in Premiere Pro CS6?

    RED footage has a restriction on metadata.  We are looking into what it would take to get full metadata support into our system, but you cannot tag red footage at this time.

    Hello Sophie59
    You should be able to see two different tabs when setting up the email if you go to Other > Add Mail Account. Once you enter in the email address and password, you should be at the next screen to provide more details about the email as far as incoming and outgoing servers and at the top there will be a blue section to add it in as a POP or IMAP email account. Check out the article below for further troubleshooting and emails setup options.

  • Iphone synced with another library, how can I transfer to new computer?

    when I tried to sync my iphone, itunes music, with my new computer it said "the iphone is synced with another itunes library on VAIO. Do you want to erase this iphone and sync with this itunes library?" How can I transfer my music from iphone to new computer? I don't have my old computer no more.

    The referenced article doesn't transfer playlists, last time played, etc. to the new computer. I want to essentially transfer my current environment to another computer.
    Originally, my PC was underpowered but had large disks. So I imported my CD collection to my PC, but then ran iTunes from my laptop across the network.
    My PC has since been upgraded, so I want to connect my iPod to iTunes on my PC instead of my laptop. I tried copying and editing the XML files, but it still didn't seem to use the desired configuration files. I'm guessing I have to do something with the Persistent ID key value, but I'm not sure what it wants.
    Can anyone point me to something that will help me transfer a complete environment from one machine to another?

  • Begin Fill merge with another fill

    Hi all.
    Got a problem.
    In the below example (if you paste into a new fla with AS3)
    you will see that the two squares sit on top of each other. This is
    not what I want for a few reasons. I am makeing a brush type tool
    that needs to update the shape every time the mouse moves etc.
    Is there a way I can make the fill merge with the last fill
    rather than sitting on top like a layer. (Surely there must be a
    way)
    If not can you suggest a way I can do somehting similar. It
    is not possible to redraw every fill every time as it would slow
    down very quickly.
    I goal is to have the user use a square brush. (If a round
    brush I would simply use the lineTo to do it quite easily)
    var shapeClip:Shape=new Shape();
    addChild(shapeClip);
    with(shapeClip)
    graphics.lineStyle(.25,0x000000,0);
    graphics.beginFill(0xFF0000,.5);
    graphics.moveTo(10,10);
    graphics.lineTo(50,10);
    graphics.lineTo(50,50);
    graphics.lineTo(10,50);
    graphics.lineTo(10,10);
    graphics.endFill();
    graphics.beginFill(0xFF0000,.5);
    graphics.moveTo(30,30);
    graphics.lineTo(70,30);
    graphics.lineTo(70,70);
    graphics.lineTo(30,70);
    graphics.lineTo(30,30);
    graphics.endFill();
    }

    Hmm. I've done a lot of investigation and I'm pulling my hair
    out with this one.
    Surely therre must be a way to merge two shapes
    together?

  • How do I add a bookmark to the Bookmark toolbar permanently and delete it from the Recntly Bookmarked list?

    It seems to me that in a previous version of Firefox that one could add a bookmark to the Bookmarks Toolbar and have it stay there.
    I like to keep things neat and tidy. Now when I delete this bookmark from the Recently Bookmarked list (or the Unsorted Bookmarks list), Firefox insists only deleting it from the Bookmarks Toolbar as well.
    How do I add a bookmark to the Bookmarks toolbar and keep it there? Am I required to keep it in the Recently Bookmarked and/or Unsorted Bookmarks list in order to have it remain on the Bookmarks Toolbar?

    * "Most Visited" and "Recently Bookmarked" and "Recent Tags" are examples of so called [[Smart Bookmarks folders|Smart Bookmarks folders]] and are not real existing folders.
    * Smart folders show a list created by a query of the places.sqlite database that stores bookmarks and history in Firefox.
    * Smart folder lists show a maximum of 10 entries by default.
    * Bookmarks and history items that show up in a smart folder list are stored elsewhere in another folder and any changes made are applied to the real bookmark or history item.
    * If you remove an entry then the list is shifted up and a new entry that wasn't shown previously is added to show 10 entries.
    * If you add a new bookmark or visit a website then a new item is added at the top and the entry at the bottom disappears from that list.

  • In Top 10 with two dimension i need to add others in my MDX query

    Hi this is code working fine and return top 2  product in a  state. i need to add other sales also how can we do
    with set FIPS as [Geography].[State-Province].[State-Province]
    set TCat as
    Generate( {FIPS}, CrossJoin( {[Geography].[State-Province].CurrentMember},
    TOPCount(
             ([Product].[Subcategory].[Subcategory]),
             2,
             [Measures].[Sales Amount]
    SELECT { [Measures].[Sales Amount] } ON COLUMNS,
    TCat  ON ROWS
    FROM [Adventure Works]
    hi fond one code it is work for one dimension only, i need for two dimension
    WITH
    SET [TCat] AS
    TopCount([Product].[Subcategory].[Subcategory],10,[Measures].[Sales Amount])
    MEMBER [Product].[Subcategory].[Other] AS
    Aggregate([Product].[Subcategory].[Subcategory] - TCat)
    SELECT { [Measures].[Sales Amount] } ON COLUMNS,
    TCat + [Other] ON ROWS
    FROM [Adventure Works]

    Hi,
    We will have to generate a set of tuples that includes both dimensions:
    WITH
    SET [Top2] AS
    Generate
    {[Customer].[State-Province].[State-Province].MEMBERS}
    [Customer].[State-Province].CurrentMember
    ,TopCount
    (EXISTING
    [Product].[Subcategory].[Subcategory].MEMBERS)
    ,2
    ,[Measures].[Internet Sales Amount]
    MEMBER [Product].[Subcategory].[All].[top2Aggr] AS
    Aggregate((EXISTING [Top2]))
    MEMBER [Product].[Subcategory].[All].[all Subcat] AS
    [Product].[Subcategory].[All]
    MEMBER [Product].[Subcategory].[All].[others] AS
    Aggregate
    (EXISTING
    [Customer].[State-Province].CurrentMember
    ,[Product].[Subcategory].[Subcategory].MEMBERS
    [Top2])
    SELECT
    {[Measures].[Internet Sales Amount]} ON COLUMNS
    [Customer].[State-Province].[State-Province].MEMBERS
    [Product].[Subcategory].[top2Aggr]
    ,[Product].[Subcategory].[others]
    ,[Product].[Subcategory].[all Subcat]
    } ON ROWS
    FROM [Adventure Works];
    If you plan to tweek this solution, you may want to align the dimensionality of the [all Subcat] member with the others members by changing its definition:
    MEMBER [Product].[Subcategory].[All].[all Subcat] AS
    aggregate(EXISTING
    [Customer].[State-Province].CurrentMember
    ,[Product].[Subcategory].[All]
    The former defintion also works in our case because it's a singleton set and it is put in a tuple when crossjoined with the axis 1 giving it the right dimensionality.

  • First pc had no songs, how do I add other devices that do have songs

    I joined Match on my PC that has 10 songs.
    When I turned on match on my iPhone, it asked if I wanted to replace my music. I said yes and now all I have is the 10 songs on my iphone.
    My macbook has all the songs I really want. How will I add the macbook to the match, and have all those songs added, not replaced?
    Should I turn off match on the PC first?

  • I need to use an older version of FireFox for the Mac (3.0) to be compatible with another program; how can I get it?

    My company uses SalesForce CRM and recently changed wholesale to Macs. Unfortunately, certain functions in SalesForce are not compatible with the current version of Safari or any version of FireFox newer than 3.0 and we need to be able to use those functions. How can I download that version for the Mac?

    There is also a portable Firefox 3.0 version via this link:
    http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/osxportableapps/PortableFirefox_3.0_en-US-OSX_r4.0u.dmg?download
    It can take some time before the download starts.

  • Newly created "Faces" disappearing or merging with another "Face."

    Overall, I was fairly pleased with the accuracy of Faces. And after an exhaustive amount of time I had all my Faces setup, or so I thought.
    I noticed upon relaunch my friend Audrey's Face had disappeared. I then went to her husband (who looks distinctly different) and her pictures were under his face. The only thing I could think of is when I filled in her name, full name and email I used the same email address for both people. Perhaps the files are being coded with that conflicting information and Faces is confused and doesn't know where to place them. So a day later I went back and straightened it out putting her Faces in her own group. But then it did it again, only this time "Russ" her husband disappeared and his pictures were under her face.
    The only other thing I can think of is a conflict with Facebook. I do remember uploading a picture and having to fix a few tags when the image was in Facebook. I'm wondering if Facebook was sending back bad information to that photo that was confusing the entire Face group. Other than that I'm at a loss.
    I've rebuild the iPhoto databases selecting all the available options to ensure a good clean file. But that didn't fix this problem.
    So since this appears to be a bug I won't bother trying to fix the two Faces again until it's fixed. Does anyone know if I can disable Faces or have some sort of control over how it operates? I'd like to disable it without losing the Face groups already created so it doesn't screw up another group with this bug.

    I had the same problem with having previously named and labeled faces over-ridden and given other names. But I'm not using facebook, so it has nothing to do with that. I have spent hours and hours fixing my faces albums, just to have the names changed and put in different albums the next time I look at them. What in the world could I be doing wrong?

  • Itunes tells me ipod is all ready synced with another library how do I fix this?

    My old computer crashed no way to get files. Got new computer now when I try to sync ipod it tells me my ipod can only be synced with one library. Tried deauthorizing all computers then authorizing new one still says the same thing. what can I do I have downloaded music but cannot sync it to ipod ?

    "Got new computer now when I try to sync ipod it tells me my ipod can only be synced with one library."
    This is true.  Ipod will sycn with one and only one library at a time.  Syncing to another will erase the current content.
    This is one of the many reasons that always maintaining a backup copy of your computer has always been very basic.
