Does the iMessage protocol provide for "online status" indication?

In iChat, I could set the online status of my AIM account ("Available", "Away", etc.).
Does the iMessage protocol provide for "online status" indication?

HI,
Messages Beta can do the same indications for the older style iChat Buddy List the same as iChat does/did.
The iMessage Login (the "Account" in the Messages Menu > Preferences > Accounts that deals with sending iMessages to iPhones and iPads) does not have the same indicators.
What it does do is indicate the options in the "To" spot for the Name that is currently shown there.
To explain that a bit further.
When you click New Message the Blue Plus icon appears
You can select Contacts from this list and navigate to a Contact in the Address Book
Once you select a Contact their Name is in the "To" spot
If you now click this it becomes a Drop down and the iMessage details they have are marked with a blue Speech bubble.
IF you select an iMessage Contact this way and they are Off Line the name will go red.

    I also notice that each contact says iCloud in it twice, but when I go to iCloud.com, there are no duplicates either. Help..

    If that is not successful, follow the steps listed in iCloud: Troubleshooting iCloud Contacts.

    Perfectly fine working iPad and I attempted to load the software update provided for settings. Now all I get is an on again off again apple. Attempted hard reset to no avail. iTunes no longer recognizes the device. So......? what? how? where?
    Thanks, Richard

    And one more point, I am not an Apple user. This is my first experience and have had to learn as I go. So any explanations please break it down for a noob. I am fairly computer geeky but when it comes to Mac or Apple or iAnything... I have zero experience.

    Among the alternatives not mentioned... Using a TiVo DVR, rather than the X1; a Roamio Plus or Pro would solve both the concern over the quality of the DVR, as well as providing the MoCA bridge capability the poster so desperately wanted the X1 DVR to provide. (Although the TiVo's support only MoCA 1.1.) Just get a third-party MoCA adapter for the distant location. Why the hang-up on having a device provided by Comcast? This seems especially ironic given the opinions expressed regarding payments over time to Comcast. If a MoCA 2.0 bridge was the requirement, they don't exist outside providers. So couldn't the poster have simply requested a replacement XB3 from the local office and configured it down to only providing MoCA bridging -- and perhaps as a wireless access point? Comcast would bill him the monthly rate for the extra device, but such is the state of MoCA 2.0. Much of the OP sounds like frustration over devices providing capabilities the poster *thinks* they should have.

    Has the version of Acrobat that you're using been packaged by your IT department? If so, can you find out if they perhaps disabled access to Acrobat.com. Sometimes in doing this, shared reviews are inadvertently disabled.

  • RC0: RS Installation Problem - The credentials you provided for Reporting Services service are invalid. To continue ...

    Hi
    When installing 2008 RC0 I get the following error message:
    "The credentials you provided for Reporting Services service are invalid. To continue, provide a valid account and password for the Reporting Services service.
    Error code: 0x84B40000"
    During the installation process it never prompted for the credentials to be used for the Reporting Services service (i.e. the Reporting Services service did not appear under the "Service Accounts" tab during the Server Configuration stage of the installation. The other services did appear). In the "Ready to Install" stage the Account under Reporting Services, Service Configuration is given as "udefined". Everything else installed without a problem.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks.
    Egmont

    I had a same and similar issue.
    I finish the installation by providing SQL Agnt and SQL Service by NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE and blank password. Once complete the installation I changed the Service Account by services.msc to SQL SA account.
    Reason: Service account is not granted for Log on as Service.
    Solution: Grant the SA to Log on as Service.

    Bad Idea When you first install Microsoft SQL Server to run under a Microsoft Windows NT account, SQL Server sets for that Windows NT account various Windows user rights and permissions on certain files, folders, and registry keys. If you later change the startup
    account for SQL Server (the MSSQLServer service) and the SQL Server Agent service by using SQL Server Enterprise Manager (SEM) or SQL Server Configuration Manager (SSCM), SEM automatically assigns all the required permissions and Windows user rights to the
    new startup account for you so that you do not have to do anything else. We recommend that you use this is the approach to change the service account.

  • Does the iOS app allow for digital signatures ?

    does the iOS app allow for digital signatures ?

    Hi,
    Currently, Adobe Reader mobile products (for iOS, Android, Windows Phone) do not support digital signatures.  But you can add handwritten signatures (as annotations) to PDF documents.
    For digital signatures for legally binding documents and contracts, I'd recommend the desktop version of Adobe Reader or Acrobat Pro/Standard.  Alternatively, you can use Adobe EchoSign for e-signatures.

    hi
      i'd like to ask question about linked server.
      my linked server used to work but now when i try to select from linked server i was told "The OLE DB provider for linked server reported an error. The provider reported an unexpected catastrophic failure Cannot fetch a row from OLE DB provider

      but in fact for test connection i was told "the test connection to the linked server succeeded".
      could  anyone help me? thank u very much
    best regards

    Hi, 
    In addition to Tracy's post we have to know those answers as well:
    * what provider are you using for the connection
    * what do you connect to
    for example, if someone try to connect to oracle using sql server provider then several simple queries are going to work probably OK, but once you are trying to use T-SQL or any complex SQL query then the errors are starting.
    please post the connection string (without the password!) + the query that you are trying to use.

    You can't remove the time.  However, if you make the column narrower, only the Date will show.

  • How does the field ABGRU-Reason for Rejection get populated in routines

    Hi All,
    How does the field ABGRU-Reason for Rejection get populated in routines(VOFM)?
    BELNR,KPOSN,etc...fields are populated through KOMK and KOMP structures, similar way what structure is used for ABGRU?
    by the time the control from VA01 comes to routine the values of VBAK and VBAP are cleared, so these structures like KOMP and KOMK are used.
    Thanks in advance.

    You need to add rejection reason field ABGRU as a new field to pricing field catalog (KOMG structure) through APPEND structure KOMPAZ. KOMG inherits new fields from KOMKAZ (for header level fields) or KOMPAZ (for item level fields) structures and it is not directly modified but through KOMKAZ and KOMPAZ structures
    Since VBAP-ABGRU can vary from item to item, add it to item pricing communication structure KOMPAZ in SE11. Once KOMPAZ is added with new ABGRU field and activated it will automatically appear in pricing field catalog (KOMG)
    Afterwards the ABGRU field will then start to appear in the field catalog where you can create condition table (V/03) including the ABGRU as a field. Once done the rest is assigning the condition table to access sequence which is in turn assigned to the relevant condition type that you want to price based on partner function (all under IMG -> SD -> Basic functions -> Pricing -> Pricing control)
    In the pricing user exit userexit_pricing_prepare_tkomp in include MV45AFZZ, you will need a few lines of coding to fetch VBAP-ABGRU for the item and pass it to tkomp-abrug field. This will then be used by system to read the new condition table that you created.
    tkomp-abgru= xvbap-abgru
    So if you populate special pricing based on ABGRU (with possibly other conditions) in the condition table then that condition record will be read for the corresponding condition type.
    You would of course need a developer to modify KOMPAZ structure and code the user exit for moving the rejection reason to tkomp
    That is in short how you can achieve this
