I can't find friends in iChat

hi, can anybody help me? I need to chat with a friend using ichat but he appears offline although he is conected

Hi,
Get them to check the iChat Menu > Accounts > Security for any AIM login and make sure they have not Blocked you or have you in the correct allow place
You should also check your settings as Blocking them (Or Not allowing them) will have them show as Off line as well.

How come i can hear my friend on ichat but she cant hear me?

how come i can hear my friend on ichat but she cant hear me?

Hi,
Several possibles.
1) The Mic (or Audio) item in the Video Menu is Off (unticked)
2) The Selection in App (iChat or Messages) menu > Preferences > Video section > Microphone Drop down is not pointing to a Mic that is active.
3) The Mic selection in System Preferences > Sound > Input tab is not the same device in the app and/or the volume is not set high enough.
In System Preferences > Sound > Input tab the blue response bar must get to at least halfway (preferably 3/4s) but not bang in to the right hand end.
The Mic should be the one select in the app itself.
IF you are using a headset then change both the System Preferences > Sound > Input to anything else but the headset mic.
Then do the same if the app.
Then go back to the System Preferences and "Set" that "First" and then do the App "Second"
Repeat the same process for the output options in both places.

Can't find Accounts in iChat Preferences

I configured iChat to Jabber, Bon Jour and AIM a while ago... But I'm unable to change the jabber settings... When I click on iChat->Preferences, I only see a "General" tab, but can't find "Accounts" anywhere... I also can't figure out how I could reinstall iChat.
Help?
Thanks

Hi,
The button on the left of the Toolbar in iChat 3 does not appear that Defcom talks about. (it is there in iChat 2)
You need to delete:
com.apple.ichat.plist to get the full quota of Preference icons back.
The .plist is found in ~/Library/Preferences ("~" equals your Home Folder (Little House icon in a Finder window)
Restart iChat after you have deleted the .plist

Can't see friend on iChat video?

My friend and I both have new macs, and she is in the northern woods of Wisconsin, but she has internet, and we can connect with video chat, but I can't see her. She can see me though. All I see is myself? Any reason why that would be?

Hi,
What Internet Speeds does she have ?
If she is on 10.5.x or lower then she should go to System Preferences > Quicktime > Streaming and set the speed here to 1.5Mbps (even if her Upload is not as fast as that.)
You should do the same.
You (both) will need to restart iChat to "See" the new speed.
After that try adjusting the Bandwidth Setting in iChat > Preferences > Video Section to 500kbps to "even out" any Speed differences you have.

I created a slide show in imovie for my daughters 21st with voice overs from friends and family which was all working fine but now the voice recordings are not playing at all. Obviously some setting has changed but I can't find which one.

How does one remove temporary files from Safari? A friend logged on to her Facebook account using my iMac running Mac OSX 10.7.5 and Safari 6.1.6. Now I can't remove her e-mail address from my computer. When I open Facebook her address shows in the user button. I do not have a Facebook account. It was suggested to me that I try clearing temporary files from Safari but I can't find anything that tells me how to do this. Are temporary files the same as the cache? It also was suggested that I try clearing Safari cache. How do I do that?

Check Safari/Preferences/Passwords to see if the Facebook account is there. If so, select it and remove it. If you are still having problems, Safari/Preferences/Advanced - enable the Develop menu, then go there and Empty Caches. Quit/reopen Safari and test. If that doesn't work, Safari/Reset Safari.

Dear Apple,
Please help me to find my iPad Air 2 64 GB and iPhone 5C 8GB. They're in IOS 8.0 maybe...I lost all of them last night. I set up icloud for my devices but i can't find them because they were not connect to the Internet. Please guide me other ways to find my "best friends". They're very important to me. Many important files for my job in here and it has sentimental value to me. My boyfriend gave it for me so i don't want to lose them. And because i just lost my iPad Air last 3 month, and now i just bought iPad Air 2 two months ago. I'm so sad and lost. I want to catch the thief to the police so bad because they keep my bag and many other important things. I can not do anything without them. Please help me and contact me via my email or my phone. Thank you very much. Hope to receive your answer soon.

Can you find your friends or find my friends on to locate someone if you share the same ITunes account?

Can you find your friends or find my friends on to locate someone if you share the same ITunes account?

Any iOS device that shares the same iTunes account and has Find my Phone enabled under Settings > iCloud can be located using the Find my iPhone app or www.icloud.com.

HT204407 My wife and I share the same email address but have different iphone numbers. Is there anyway we can both be on "Find Friends."

My wife and I share the same email address but have different iphone numbers. Is there anyway we can both us "Find Friends" apps? When I try to enter her contact name it won't allow me to do this. Thanks.

make seperate appleID's if you wish to be frinds or if you wish to facetime video chat and if you wish to not recieve the samme imessage msg's unless you turn it off
you can still set both your iphones to use an email address even if both have different appleId's
the appleID is a handle not a link to an email address

HT201493 If I erase the find friends app from my decice does that mean my friends can no longer find me?

Please answer(: I've Been needing this answer for a while about the find friends app

From Apple's page on Find My Friends at
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/find-my-friends/id466122094?mt=8
The one paragraph that seems to provide the answer is...
"Find My Friends can send your current location to friends even when the application is in the background and has been optimized to avoid draining your battery."
So it seems you need to have the app (in background) for your friends to see you.

I have a client that uses Windows that has recently told me she can no longer open the PDFs I send her. I can't find this elusive "Always Send Windows-Friendly Attachments" setting that I have read may solve my problem. Can someone get me there?

Dear Dan,
It was from InDesign that I was creating the shared pdfs. I was one of two Mac drivers in a corporate sea of Win users and had to make the change I mentioned in order for the Win users to see my pdfs for review. The difference from what you appear to be doing was that were all on an MS Exchange Server so the files were shared over the company's Exchange Server e-mail system. However, some of these files occasionally went to outside users via regular e-mail and those people had no issues either.
So what I did was tested and worked for years.
You might look at the Adobe forums or Knowledge Base to see if that is a reported issue with newer version of CS. I was on CS2 when I was doing this, and the other Mac driver was on CS3 but had no problems either.
Some Win users I've talked to find a problem opening some pdfs (not mine) in general and found they had to open Reader first and them open the file from Reader's File menu. That most often happened if the client was using an outdated version of Reader.

I connected my friends ipod to my laptop whilst I was playing some songs and closed whatever came up on the screen from itunes. Next thing I know his ipod has been wiped and we can't find his music. How do we get his music back?

I connected my friends ipod to my laptop whilst I was playing some songs and closed whatever came up on the screen from itunes. Next thing I know his ipod has been wiped and we can't find his music. How do we get his music back? He hasn't got his laptop anymore so the only music he has was on his ipod.

Hasn't he got a backup of his content on external drives and/or CDs or DVDs ?

HT201493 When trying to edit one of my "friends" on the Find Friends App. I noticed I can edit pics but not information, one of the numbers I have is wrong, it showed up when I added my daughter and it's not hers, I can't get rid of it to put hers in.

Is there a way to edit numbers and addresses on Find Friends? I have been trying to fix a problem with my daughters iphone mobile number listed on my iphone. It brought up a number I believe she used for a social site but won't let me enter her actual mobile number. I contact her through her iphone using her phone number.

If the phone is offline there is no way to track it or send a message to it. You can place it in lost mode to lock it and send it a message (see http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mmfc0f0165), but this will not take place until the phone goes back online, if it ever does. If it does, you will get an email informing you.
