How do you tell if the other person is typing or not?

Hi, I have ichat 5.0.3 but I have had this problem on all my ichat versions since I started using
it on my eMac way back in 2004.
When I use AIM, or Yahoo, Skype, or MSN messenger, I can tell if the other person is typing or not and then if they are typing, I can wait for them to finish before I say something. But on iChat I have never been able to do this.
Can someone tell me how to tell if the person I am chatting with is replying to me by typing?
I would really appreciate it!
Thank you,
Martha

You are welcome.
For the points
Further Note.
If you happen to be inked on a LAN to other Macs and everyone has the Bonjour option in iChat On they you can select to "Send as you Type" (AIM on PC has this feature over Internet Connections and it is Called "Real Time").
However one should remember that someone could be reading it as you type and it is not the same as typing something you would like to say but can't and deleting before sending a revised message.

    how can you tell who the original sender of a group text is on an iPhone 5, when all that appears is a list of recipients in no particular order? I can't seem to identify the sender in the details list.

    Start a separate thread to the original sender.

  • How do you tell if the advanceddatagrid scroll bars are showing?

    How do you tell if the advanceddatagrid scroll bars are showing? This is because the grid crashes when mouse scroll events are firing when theres not enough data so that scroll bars are not showing

    Basically when you have enough data in a datagrid so that it cannot all be displayed at once, you have the scrollbars showning allowing you to scroll.When you can see all the data or rows at once you cannot see the scrollbars. What I need to test for is whether these SB's are currently showning.
    Hope that is clearer.

  • HT201653 We are a retail shop which has a copy of AppleCare Protection plan. The box is not sealed. How can I tell if the product has been registered or not.

    We are a retail shop which has a copy of AppleCare Protection plan. The box is not sealed. How can I tell if the product has been registered or not.

    Since the only thing needed in that box is the small piece of paper with the (very long) registration code on it (usually found inside the booklet), see if that is actually there and, if it is, call Apple at 800-275-2273 and ask to be transferred to the Applecare department. Here is the link to the Applecare plan - just in case you may need it, see the fax numbers listed under para. 9 (Cancellation).

  • How Can You Tell if the URLRequest Variables Are Posted?

    Hi,
    This sounds really odd, because I happen to have three variables I am supposed to pass to an httpservice and have the results output to my Flex app.
    The problem is, I don't know how I can tell if a variable has been posted or not, because no matter what I do, it looks like my trace statement is accurate, but there is nothing shown on the screen.
    I tried changing it to GET, and then I get this IO Event Handler error, because my variables are so long.
    var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
            var url:String = "http://localhost/generic.php";
            var variables:URLVariables = new URLVariables();
                variables.from= from_string;
                variables.state_colors = state_colors_string;
                variables.change = change_string;                       
            var encode:String= encodeURI(url);
            var pattern:RegExp = /#/g;
            var decode:String = encode.replace(pattern,"%23");
            var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest(decode);           
            request.method = URLRequestMethod.POST;          
    I am wondering if my variables have been passed correctly. Is there some other way other than using trace statements?
    Thanks for your help.

    Hi,
    Thanks for the tip, and I have just done that with my php code end. It turns out that the file was generated, and the file is blank after the code has finalized execution.
      So, I guess that my POST variables is definitely not posted.
    By the way, I have added a couple of lines for security and IO checks, like you suggested, and here is the almost complete code:
    public function changeMap():void{                        
            var url:String = "http://localhost/generic.php";
            var variables:URLVariables = new URLVariables();
                variables.from= from_string;
                variables.state_colors = state_colors_string;
                variables.change = change_string;
            var encode:String= encodeURI(url);
            var pattern:RegExp = /#/g;
            var decode:String = encode.replace(pattern,"%23");
            var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest(decode);           
            request.method = URLRequestMethod.POST;       
            var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
            loader.addEventListener(SecurityErrorEvent.SECURITY_ERROR, onSecurityError);
            loader.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, onIOError);
            loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onLoadComplete);   
            loader.load(request);                    
             private function onSecurityError(event:SecurityErrorEvent):void {
                trace("securityErrorHandler: " + event);
             private function onIOError(event:IOErrorEvent):void {
                trace("ioErrorHandler: " + event);
            public function onLoadComplete(event:Event):void {             //event output                             
    From the console, the error events returned nothing from the addEventListeners.
    When I used GET before, they worked with two passing variables, but since my variables are now more than 512 characters, I cannot put this on the url, which is why I am insisting on using POST here.
    Have I done anything else wrong here?
    Thanks for your help.

  • Generic wsdl - how can you tell what the field assignment is?

    When using the generic wsdl, it seems that your custom fields are mapped to fields such as:
    customcurrency12
    customtext4
    When accessing the asset class, how can tell what field is assigned to what custom value? When I look in the admin > application customization > asset > asset field setup
    I can see the list of fields and field types but not the number on the end so that I can assign it in my web service code. Is there a way to see what your custom fields are mapped to (i.e. custom standard discount is mapped to custompercent11)
    Thanks in advance any help you can lend on this,
    AspnetDev

    You can use the getMapping web service to get al ist of all the fields for a record type. for each field you get the ElementName (which is what you get in the generic wsdl) and DisplayName which you can use it to match to your fields.
    <Field>
         <DisplayName>My Custom Field</DisplayName>
         <ElementName>CustomText74</ElementName>
         <DataType>Text (Short)</DataType>
    </Field>

  • Diagnostic Mode: How can you tell if the scan disk is working?

    I put my ipod into diagnostic mode and went to the scan hard drive utility. The problem is that does not seem to be working.
    I get the following message:
    Read Verify Scan
    Scan takes a while
    Before Scan:
    Start Scan…
    Does that mean the scan is in process or do I have to do something to start it?

    Mine is doing exactly the same thing. Did you ever get the answer to your question?

  • How can you write over the other JTablecells while putting in information

    like windows excel when you write in a cell and you get to the border everything covers the other cells... when you press enter the string is in the textfield. But with the default settings of JTable or is it the DefaultTableEditor or the DefaultTableRenderer i don't know, when you write someting in a cell and get to the border everything is pushed to the left...i don't like that...
    Can someone help me here?
    thanks in advance

    Hello Tim,
    thanks for your response. Meanwhile I found out, that in fact things work fine. I "tested" the outputfile in opening it with the Notepad editor. That was not the proper way to do it. Making a file dump, I saw that everything was alright. So if one wants to work on such a file with the editor, one should use the Writer classes.

  • How to make one OR the other parameter required? (but not both)

    Hi all,
    I've got a report showing expenditures by budget code. There's a multi value parameter allowing the user to choose any codes they want, but this can be tedious, since there's a couple hundred of them.
    I would like to offer as an alternative a couple of "pre-packaged budget code groups" on another parameter. How can I set it up so that the user must choose EITHER something out of the full multi value set, OR one of the 2 or 3 pre-packaged options?
    thanks for any tips,
    sff

    Hi sherifffruitfly2,
    In Reporting Services, we can make a parameter optional by setting default values for the parameter. Based on your scenario, you can set one parameter to have no default values and set default values for the other parameter.
    As Josh posted, another approach is to add "All" value to each parameter and set "All" as the default value for each parameter. Then, we can set the visibility of the report to hide when both of the parameter contains "All". That way, the user can get the
    report to run by changing the values of only one parameter. For more information about add a "All" value to a parameter, please see the following thread with a similar topic:

  • How can you tell what the OS is?

    I have an OS on an external drive. Is there any way to tell what version it is without actually booting into it?
    Thanks very much.

    Open Disk Utility, select the disk from the sidebar, and click Info. This won't work for Logical  type volumes; I'm not sure if it works for Windows, but I'm assuming you are talking about OS X on the external drive.

  • Airport Extreme Compatible Printers - How can you tell by the printer spec?

    Hi,
    If a printer spec says Mac OS X v10.3.9, 10.4 compatible am I safe in assuming it has drivers for Airport Extreme? If not how can I be sure? I'm trying to replace an old printer that doesn't work very well or have drivers specifically for the Airport Extreme.
    My OS is Tiger.

    There are no drivers specifically for A-Extreme. You should refer to this list:

  • How can you tell where a call is actually coming from not just where the phone was activated?

    me and my wife check our account and we are wondering how we can find out where our son is calling from it only puts the town where we originally signed up with Verizon,help please!!!!

    If this is a Microsoft based phone AND you have location awareness turned on AND they have this phone tied to a Microsoft account AND you have access to all of the account information, then there is a Microsoft web site that will show you the current location of the phone.  Otherwise MrGecko is pretty much dead on.  You would have to have an app on the phone, or pay Verizon more money to give you the location.

  • How can you tell if the line has errors?

    I'll try and keep this as brief as possible.
    <background>
    For 2years (up to 6months ago) I was on BE ADSL and was very impressed with the quality of the service (low latency, decent bandwidth) on my line.  However when I heard that FTTC was being rolled out I switched to Zen internet on the understanding that I could then switch to the FTTC product as soon as it was available.
    Immediately after switching to Zen I started to experience problems with VOIP (I use VOIP extensions against an externally hosted PBX) and was seeing CRC errors on the line.  In the process (~2months) of getting this diagnosed the FTTC product became available and since I wanted uncapped switched to BT Infinity for Business Option 2.
    </background>
    I now find that again I get sporadic VOIP problems (but not as bad as on the ADSL2 service via Zen) but very regular BBC iPlayer dropouts listening to the radio.
    Due to the previous problems whilst on ADSL2 I suspect I still have a minor line fault but as I can't access any stats on the line have no way to verify.  Does anyone have any pointers on where to get line stats to see what is going on on the connection? I can't get any info out of the OR modem.
    Regarding my network.  I am using a cabled, gigabit connection directly to a Draytek 2820n which is in turn doing the PPPoE through the BT OR modem.  I use two different machines and experience the same issues on both.  I'm a server & network admin by trade so pretty sure it's not my internal infrastructure at fault.
    My IP profile is apparently 38717 Kbps down / 10000 KBps up.
    BT Speed tester shows achieved 26581 down and 4912 up though

    jmansford,
    I may be wrong about this as I am only refering to my own 2750n settings,but looking at your upload throughput test results some if not all of your problems could be due to a wrongly wieghted QoS setting and/or port capacity setting based on QoS.
    As you line profile is ok at 38717 Kbps down / 10000 KBps up it looks like there is no problem on your actual line,but phone line noise test might find some crackle,but I don`t think so.
    By your post,you say your are routing PPPoE through the Draytek into the OR modem.?
    If so,maybe you could try leaving the OR or Draytek out of the chain as a process of testing where faults [if any] are.?
     To sum up a bit imo leaving the OR modem out of the net chain might be a better way as I only use the 2750n on it`s own as the OR modem is not then needed.
    Opps! sorry I might be wrong in my above thinking,but is your Draytek just a router or a modem/router combined like the 2750n.?
    But either way the QoS setting are still important.

  • How can I see what the other person is texting in real-time?

    I heard about being able to see what another person is texting as they type while i'm also texting.  Is this an app or a feature between iphone 4s??
