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.

  • 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 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 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.

    Hi
    How i can join 2 columns with different names between the 2 tables.
    Can any one please give solution for this.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    basic understanding of joins:
    If you want to join 2 tables there should be matching column w.r.t. data and it's data type. You need not to have same column names in both the tables...
    so, find those columns which has got same values..

  • I created a new Screen Name and I cant find out how to ....

    I created a new Screen Name and I cant find out how to send my buddy list from my old screen name to my new one. PLEASE SOMEONE HELP ME, BECAUSE I CANT TALK WITH MY FRIENDS!

    Hi Scott,
    Welcome to the Apple Discussion Pages.
    Use the Address Book.
    iChat and the Address Book are linked. If you have stored Real names in the iChat info about your contacts they shuould be in the Address Book. You can then drag them back to to the new Buddy list.
    The AIM application allows you to backup the Buddy list of one account/screen name and then import it into the new one as another workaround.

  • How to maintain buddy list of a user

    Hi all,

    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.

  • How do I add to do list to doc?

    How do I put "to do" list to my doc?  I want easy access and do not want to open mail to get to it. Any thoughts? Might there a better to do list elsewhere?
    Thank you.

    Adding a "to do" list to your Dock?
    Maybe this meets your need. In Finder, open the Applications folder  and look for the Stickies application. Drag it onto the Dock. Any of its note windows can be used for temporary info like a 'to do' list.
