How do I merge two buddy lists?

Just downloaded Chax. I love the tabbed chat feature, but I want to integrate my two Buddy Lists. How do I do that? Does Chax offer that?

Hi heatgrave,
I am not aware of any quick way to do this.
Make sure each Buddy has a Real name or Nickname added to the iChat Address Card. (click once on a Buddy and then use Apple key and i together (Get info). Then select the Address Card).
This adds the Buddy to you Address Book.
Names can be dragged from the Address Book to iChat.

How to get the iChat Buddy List to automatically appear on the Desktop

On my friends computer iChat is set to launch whenever he logs into his account, but the Buddy List does not appear on his Desktop. So when I see him online there is no green video camera mark next to his name.
If I want to do a screen share with him, I have to ask him to go to the iChat icon towards the right side of the Menubar (the round 'speech ballon') and click on Show AIM Buddy List at the bottom. Once he has the Buddy List on his Desktop, I can screen share with him.
Surely there must be a way for the Buddy List to always appear on the Desktop when logging into his computer... Can anyone help out?

Hi,
Interesting one.
If I were telling you how to create this it would be like this:-
1) Go to System Preferences > Accounts > Your account and enter iChat in the Login items. (Makes iChat launch at Computer Start Up)
2) to Hide the Window (Buddy List(s) ) at Start Up click the Red Button to close the Window/Buddy List before Quitting.
This will cause the next Start Up to not show th Buddy List.
How you make the Buddy List appear after that depends on how you bring it in to View.
NOTES:
Some Windows in iChat from Buddy List to the Preferences to th Actual Chat Windows will appear in the places you left them for the most part.
The Exceptions are Incoming Invites.
This means the Buddy List will be were you left it, your Outgoing Invite/Preview whilst waiting for Connection will always be where the last outgoing Video Chat window was.
Using the Red Button on a Open Chat Window will end the Chat (All types).
However doing it to a Buddy List only Hides it.
In addition to this using the Item (or the Keystrokes) from the Window Menu of iChat for a Buddy list when it is On view will Hide it (or Bring it back if Hidden)
The Show AIM option in the Menu Bar icon's drop down is a two edge thing as it shows All Buddies (Available ones) from all AIM Buddy lists if you have more than one (Apple names are also AIM Names in this case).
Does he want to change this Behaviour ?
He would be better off using the iChat Window menu (or Keystrokes) after he has clicked the icon in the Dock to bring the app to the Front so he can access the Menu bar with ichat in it.
He could also click and Hold the icon for iChat in the DOCK and select the Account Name there. This, if I remember correctly, will have the same effect as presenting the Buddy List from the Menu Bar icon (it will be hidden at Next Start Up)

How do I hide the buddy list when iChat opens at login?

Can anyone tell me the answer to this question? I just find it annoying
when I have to close the buddy list window when I login. Is there any way
of getting it to be hidden automatically and still remain available
to my buddies? (Not Offline) Thanks Glenn.

Hi Glenn,
IF you hit the red close button the Buddy List window will close but the Application will remain open.
Using the Apple Key + 1 together will bring it back, as will the item in the Window menu of iChat.
IT can be set up by a variation of this FAQ Ralph Johns (UK), "How Do I Use Rendezvous Only In iChat ?", 12:58pm Jan 1, 2005 CDT
I suggest using the Menu bar icon option in the General section of the iChat Preferences to enable further access to your Buddies if the window is closed.

How do I put my buddy list on a different screen-name?

Hello,
I have a screen-name on iChat, and then decided to get another one. Is there an easy way to get my first buddy list onto my second buddy list?
Thank you.

Hi Dice333chill,
There are two main ways.
1) With the AIM applictaion there is a facility for saviing the Buddy list to your comuter and then chaing the Account and importing th e list.
2) The Second way is make sure your Buddies are identified in the Address Book as Buddies in some way and then dragging them back to the new ichat Buddy List.
There is one problem with the scond method and that is some Buddies with just accounts names in the Buddy list do not show up in the Address Book until more info is added to their Address Card in iChat. These Buddies will need you to do a Get Info on them (Click once on the Buddy and then use the Apple Key and i Together and select Address Card from the drop down in the window that appears). You will need to Add eitehr Real names or some other unique identifier to show up in the address Book.
The problem with the first method may be the need to download AIM
The actual iten you need is in the File menu as Export.
So the real answer is no.
Ralph

How to maintain buddy list of a user

Hi all,
Questions about accessing XDMS.
Our service uses rls-services and resource-lists to maintain buddy list of a user. After reading Admin Guide of OCMS, I found that OCMS doesn't support rls-services. Is there another way to consider? How can Oracle Communicator maintains buddy list of a user?
Thanks,

You can check this FM too -
HRCM_COMP_ORGUNIT_EMPL_GET
To obtain the org unit text you have to get it either from HRP1000 or T527X, depends on your choice.
As an alternative you can do select also,
Select Perner from PA0105 where subty = '0001'
and usrid = sy-uname.
select Orgeh from PA0001 where pernr = pa0105-pernr.
select Orgtx from T527X where orgeh = pa0001-orgeh.

Consolidating buddy lists

I just started using iChat, and I initially setup my google talk acct. in iChat. When I went to add buddies, a new AIM list was created as a separate window, outside my Jabber list. I am wondering, if possible, how to consolidate all my buddy lists into one Jabber list, and how to add all buddies into the one list.
Thank you.

Basics
Running Mac OS X Server 10.8.2

We are not chatting with anyone outside our Jabber server
Problem
Over time duplicate users have shown up on clients buddy lists
Some users display as "Not authoirzed"
Some client's Buddy Lists show old users that have since been removed
Questions
How do I wiipe all Buddy Lists clean? (I am okay with deleting database and starting over if it doesn't affect anything outside of Messages)
I have checked "Make group members Messages buddies" in the group that I want to auto-populate for everyone after I clear all the Buddy Lists. How do I make this happen after I clear everyone's Buddy Lists?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you very much

Imessage buddy list Imac

How do you see your buddy list from imessage and who is online on an iMac?

Hi,
Expanding on leroydouglas' info.
Messages > Preferences > Alerts
Various items in here are drop down
Change the Top one to the item about Buddies Logging in
No select the Sound line which is also a drop down.
Selecting None at the top of the list is an option.
(The App is called Messages. iMessages is just one thing it can do)
As has been said in a Buddy List if you have them on vie you can highlight a Buddy
Then use CMD and i (Get Info) keys together>
Select Alerts tab in the info card.
There are only 17 settings here (your don't need the options for Yourself logging In or Out)
As has been said it will override the Global settings but just for that Buddy.

User not showing in Buddy List 10.9.4 Server/3.1.2

I have added a new user to our server, but for some reason they are not showing up in others' Buddy Lists to be able to message them on a local network. If I enable Bonjour they show there, and they are able to access the file server just fine. To make the situation more confusing, looking into the logs I see them appear to be connecting to the chat server correctly. Any ideas as to what may be wrong?

Thanks in advance!

I was able to message the user directly [email protected] and he received it fine, apparently he is just invisible in the Buddies window. Stumped.

Buddies are online, but show up in my buddy list as offline

I have kept my OS and all Apple software up to date. I am not sure when this changed, but now in iChat, even though I know my buddies are online, and I am logged in and my statuus is set to available, they all show up as offline in my buddy list. I show up as offline in their buddy list. We can chat and video chat, which I do not think should be the case, but we cannot share screens which we used to be able to do.
Any ideas what is happening?

HI,
It would seem that one end or the other is somehow signalling that it is set to Invisible.
If, with AIM Logins (AIM, @mac.com and MobileMe), you set the status to Invisible you should be able to "See" your Buddies as On-line where as they cannot (they see you as Off Line if they display Off Line Buddies).
However at this point you can Send Text Messages (invites) and Audio Only and Video Invites and chat in all methods if they accept.
(I must admit to not having tried Invisible and Screen Sharing)
It could be that both ends have set Invisible.
More likely it is a "flagging" issue against each account on the AIM Server.
I would go to iChat > Preferences > General Section and Unlink the Buddy list you have logged in
Check the Status of each (And where it is set in any to "Be the Same in All Buddy Lists")
It seems the Yahoo account if you have one will do "Invisible" but will also tend to override the settings of other Buddy Lists.
After that I would rotate the status of all the AIM logins you have from whatever it is now to Invisible and then back to Available.

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)

How do I fix my ichat? My buddy list appears, but whenever I try to click on a buddy to chat, IChat won't let me. Nothing appears. When I try to click on "File" - "New Chat" Also nothing appears. What's wrong?

My buddy list appears, but whenever I try to click on a buddy to chat, IChat won't let me. Nothing appears. It won't let me chat regularly via text, or by video/audio chat. Even when I click on File -> New Chat, still nothing shows up! But, when I look at how many chats I have open, it says I have "X" amount of chats open! But nothing is there.........
If somebody tries to video chat me from my buddy list, I can see the request.... and then the video chat will work. But I cannot request anybody and if they send me a regular text ichat, ichat won't deliver it to me.
Somebody please help me I've tried so many things and nothing is working!!!!! :/

Hi,
This sounds like it is about Window positions.
iChat has Default places for Incoming Invites.
Video is always top Center of your Screen
Audio and Text chats are Upper right with the Audio slightly lower than Text Chats.
Secondary invites are sort of Stacked like when you open multiple files from the same App.
Your outgoing Windows are "Remembered" as to where the last one was when you used it.
This can be an issue if you use your Mac with a second display and turn Off Mirroring.
You windows can get "left" on the other screen.
Go to System Preferences > Displays and turn On Mirroring and the windows should come back to one Screen/display.
If this does not help go to your Home Folder/Library/Preferences and delete (Drag to Trash) com.apple.ichat.plist and restart iChat.
Unfortunately you will need to reset any iChat Preferences you have changed from defaults.

How do I add a googlemail user onto my buddy list on my ichat?

I bought my macbook a few weeks ago and, while I adore it to bits so far, I seem to have a bit of a problem with ichat (version 4.0.6). I tried to add my friend who uses a googlemail account (with jabber) onto my buddy list in ichat but, according to ichat, it seems that it only accepts mac.com, aim and mobile me account holders. So that was no good so I tried it on adium and I got it ok but for some reason, I cant see him online nor can he see me online. I logged out of adium and logged back into ichat and there it was his username there with googlemail.com but still cant reach him even though I said a couple of lines to check. Im stuck! Any idea how to add googlemail users onto buddy list on ichat?
