Not being hacked. You are probably all sharing the same iCloud or Apple ID. You can have the same one for iTunes and Apps, just need different ones for messages.

Can see myself, cannot see others and they can't see me, but text chat work

I have not seen a generic FAQ on this. Twice i have connected with friends in the US.
We all have Macs. We can chat with no problem.
I can see myself. I cannot see them. They cannot see me.
Would there be a reason for this or solution?
I have settings on maximum bandwidth.
if MAC Chat does not work with video, would some other free service work?
thanks

iChat to iChat works in Video, Audio only and in iChat 4 Screen Sharing as well.
Ideally System Preferences > Quicktime > Streaming tab needs to be set at 1.5Mbps
This is because in Tiger and iChat 3 the Automatic setting is returned to iChat 3 as a 0 (In Leopard and iChat 4 it is set to limit you to 384k).
Restart iChat if you have to Change it
Depending on certain suppliers iChat's Own Bandwidth Limit in ichat > Preferences > Video Section > Bandwidth Limit drop down can be better if limited to 500kbps
This can be changed on the fly during a chat and does not need a restart of the application.
In an iChat to iChat Video chat these are the most likely causes.
iChat to AIM on a PC is a different kettle of fish.
AIM Says this about AIM 6.5
http://www.aim.com/helpfaq/starting_out/getstarted.adp#608
On the 10th June they issued AIM 6.8 but have yet to add any support pages.
Some people say they can get it to work though.
The PC end need s to do this...

They may also need to find the Preferences for AIM on their computer and set the camera in the Enhanced IM tab.
MeBeam is a web based application that uses Flash to control your Camera and Mic (it puts up a pop up for you to Agree to the control and it only lasts as long as you are connected - you may have to change the camera type setting).
There are other options as far as applications go

How I can see what accounts I created with my family pack in my old mobileme account?

Any ideas how I can see what accounts I created with my family pack in my old mobileme account?
i updated it when we need to migrate and all emails are active and being used.
i need to update an email address. we use this for my personal company and need to keep the email in
the same format so it matches the others in the company. i dont see it anywhere in my account now.
i am using a .mac format. thanks.

In order to see which devices are authorized on your account:
Open iTunes
Click Store
Click Account
Click View Account
Enter your password
Look in the second section iTunes in the Cloud
To the far right you'll see Manage Devices
Once it's clicked you will see all of the devices currently authorized in iTunes/on your account
I was going to say, "Hope this helps," but based on the above, I'm pretty sure it did!
Thanks guys...

There is a particularly intrusive BMW app advert that pops up when playing Words with Friends that I can't get rid of. There doesn't appear to be an exit option (most unethical). Any suggestions on how to get rid of the advert out ther?

How do I create a journal from an iMac based system - I can see how to do it with the new iPhoto app for iPhone or iPad

How do I creat a journal to share using my mac air? I can see how to do it with my iPad or iPhone 4s with the new iphoto app for them. I guess "journals" replace Galleries in the Cloud. I do not see the same functionality of the upgraded iPhoto app on my Mac air, iMac ormac mini.
Thanks

Afraid no one outside of Apple knows what plans - if any - they have.

I am using iphoto 6.0.6 and after opening the application it drops below the dock. I can see it when I use expose to reveal all open windows but once selected it drops below the dock.

I am using iphoto 6.0.6 and after opening the application it drops below the dock. I can see it when I use expose to reveal all open windows but once selected it drops below the dock.

Try trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder.
(On 10.7: Hold the option (or alt) key while clicking on the Go menu in Finder to access the User Library)
(Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
What's the plist file?
For new users: Every application on your Mac has an accompanying plist file. It records certain User choices. For instance, in your favourite Word Processor it remembers your choice of Default Font, on your Web Browser is remembers things like your choice of Home Page. It even recalls what windows you had open last if your app allows you to pick up from where you left off last. The iPhoto plist file remembers things like the location of the Library, your choice of background colour, whether you are running a Referenced or Managed Library, what preferences you have for autosplitting events and so on. Trashing the plist file forces the app to generate a new one on the next launch, and this restores things to the Factory Defaults. Hence, if you've changed any of these things you'll need to reset them. If you haven't, then no bother. Trashing the plist file is Mac troubleshooting 101.

Whenever I modify a photo in Iphoto it puts it in a "modified" subfolder. Why can't I move this modified file (I changed name) back to the Iphoto main file so I can see it when I open my photos?

Whenever I modify a photo in Iphoto it puts it in a "modified" subfolder. Why can't I move this modified file (I changed and saved file name) back to the Iphoto main file so I can see it when I open my photos?

A good general step for strange issues is to renew the iPhoto preference file - quit iPhoto and go to "your user name" ==> library ==> preferences ==> com.apple.iPhoto.plist and trash it - launch iPhoto which creates a fresh new default preference file and reset any personal preferences you have changed and if you have moved the iPhoto library repoint to it. This may help
This does not affect your photos or any database information (keywords, faces, places, ratings, etc) in any way - they are stored in the iPhoto library - the iPhoto preference file simply controls how iPhoto works - which is why renewing it is a good first step.
If that does not cure it backup up your iPhoto library and rebuild it - depress the option and command keys and launch iphoto and use the options there - exact option depends on teh version you have
And always remember - NEVER make any changes of any sort to the structure or content of the iPhoto library - nothing - no deletions - no name changes - nothing

My Iphone 4s is not deleting phone numbers permanently. I will go in to delete them, however, the phone still has them saved. I can see this when I go to text people. What do I need to do to turn this off? I'm sure it is simple.

1. Close all apps in the Task Bar. Double-click the Home button and hold apps down for a second or two. Tap the minus sign to close app.
2. Hold the Sleep/Wake and Home button down until you see the Apple Logo.

Cannot start iChat with friend - receive error "Invalid remote IP address"

I'm having trouble connecting to iChat with friend. We are both using AIM accounts and click on connect. The other person accepts the invitation and iChat tries to connect. It fails and I receive the error message, "invalid remote IP address". I'm am using Mac OS X Tiger while my friend has Leopard. Does that make a difference? I appreciate any feedback.

The Leopard end should make sure that in System Preferences > Sharing has Internet Sharing Off.
Also they should not be connected to the Internet twice such as Wifi and Ethernet to the same router.
Using Parallels in Leopard causes a similar issue.
In this case turn Off the two VPNs in System Preferences > Network (and set Parallels itself to get it's Own IP and not share the Mac's)
Some MIMO modem or Wifi routers can cause this.
Get a new modem or router is the simple answer to that one.

HT4890 Can I share a specific event with friends on iCloud via Photostream?

Can I share a specific event with friends on iCloud via Photostream?

No, not until iOS 6 comes out.

On connecting to itunes or charger iPhone 5 beeping continously and I am unable see anything on display. In itunes I can see everything when I connect to computer. What could be the issue with my display and how to fix it.

My iphone power button is not working so today I decided to replace it, on opening few screws I was unable to continue as I was not able to open all the screws on the iphone. So far I had managed to disconnect display panel & battery only. So I decided to not to replace button myself and I closed it. After closing I am able to see iphone 5 connected to itunes and I can see all my data, however it continuesly beeping when connected to charger or computer. Also I do not see anything on display. Before opening the iphone everything was working fine now I can't see anything on screen.
I do not see any hardware demage or anything like that, can anyone suggest what could be the problem?
Please help

Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.
Everything that cames in the box is included in the 1year warranty, unfortunately you're just outside of that warranty. Regardless, if the above troubleshooting does not resolve, take the device to Apple and they can determine if the issue is the device, the charger(s) or something else.
