I can't see someone who IS online

I am trying to use iChat to chat with a friend. We both added eachother to our buddy lists (with the correct screen names) and even though we are both online, we appear offline in eachother's lists.
We have both checked the security settings and no one is blocked.

Hi Ceci,
The Mac firewall is in System Preferences > Sharing > Firewall tab.
This has a Preset for iChat Bonjour which should list two ports (erronously on TCP)
If the Firewall is On, you will need to set up the AIM/iChat ports. Like here http://www.ralphjohnsuk.dsl.pipex.com/page4.html
As to the modem, can you tell me if this is the Wireless device or do you have two devices (a modem and a router) ?
Can you tell me what make and model the modem is ?

  • My chat and private messaging is not working, i can still see everyone who is online but nothing happens when i click on them, I have shut down everything and started over, and still nothing, what do I do?

    i can not chat or private message, i can post to others. what do i do

    Your UserAgent string in Firefox is probably messed up by another program that you installed. <br />
    [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_Agent]
    type '''about:config''' in the URL bar and hit Enter <br />
    ''If you see the warning, you can confirm that you want to access that page.'' <br />
    Filter = '''general.useragent.''' <br />
    Right-click the preferences that are '''bold''', one line at a time, and select '''''Reset'''''. <br />
    Then restart Firefox
    Once that is fixed, see if chat and private messaging are still giving you a problem.

  • Cant ring someone who is online?

    I can't ring someone who is online, I don't have this problem with everyone on my contacts but more than one, they have an online status of online and I go to ring them, I get the connection sound that you always hear calling anyone but then I get no ring, I am connected to the internet with good connection, the call rings out and says no answer. This same person cannot see Im's either, I called the next day and it worked fine, they said they had only just received the messages and hadn't even been online when I was calling him the day before. The call continues for a while without problems then we both leave (on purpose). After a while I come back on skype to see if they are on, it says they are online so I give him a call, the same problem happens again and I call about 5 times with no result. About 30 minutes later this person goes offline, I ring him and immediately get through? He says he had just come on (he had signed out on invisible and JUST got back on). His computer wasn't even on when I had been calling him yet again, the problem is ongoing.
    If you have had a similar problem and been able to fix it, or just experienced it aswell please leave a comment and give it like or whatever you do on here to upvote something (I'm new to it). Thanks
    P.S (I am using the newest version of skype and have had no previous problems) Cheers.

    You cannot count anymore on connection status shown by your contacts. Contacts might be shown Online all the time even when they are not connected on Skype on any of their devices. This is the result of the recent changes Skype has made to status indication on Skype Network (The Cloud).

    The only what you can do about this crazy situation is to wait and hope that Skype corrects this BUG.

    Basically, when I look at iCal on my iphone and macbook, it shows my father's events from his personal calender on mine as well. What is the best way to keep your dates streamlined from phone to Labtop?

  • Where can I find someone who is highly experienced with Adobe Illustrator to hire?

    Looking to hire someone who is highly experienced with Adobe Illustrator and who can follow very specific factory guidelines with line art drawings.

    Yes, there is a kind of brokerage service available, where you post what you want, and developers can bid on the job. I don't remember what it's called, but the one I'm thinking of is out of West Palm Beach. I think there are a couple of others, too. Sorry I can't be more specific.

  • Can't see my score result online

    Hi 
    I passed the 70-640 exam in November in a Prometric exam center and I have the printed result and the candidate number. but I want to see my exam results and the certificate on the Microsoft website. how can I see that?

    Hi,
    Do you have a live account? Your live account is linked to your MCP account and when you login on below link you can see your score only when your exam was scheduled under your own MCP. If this is not the case and you did not booked the exam with your
    own MCP, you need register the exam under your own MCP. To fix this call Microsoft they are very helpfull. You can also check your score on the prometric site with your prometric logins.
    For login MCP, see

  • How can i find someone who can read my book?

    its only 96 pages.  96 very crucial pages, so far unread by anyone but me.  where can i find a reader or two or three so i can test it out?  i don't have the funds to pay someone for this and i'm not really looking for someone to be an editor.  i just want someone to read it and react.  to tell me what is good and what is not so good with it.  is this possible?

    You need a beta reader.  One of the ways they differ from editors is the fact that they they suggest changes to, and don't directly manipulate (as editors do), the hard copy.  And, of course, they haven't trained and studied for the Editor and/or Proofreader title; therefore, they aren't editors or proofreaders, and don't get paid editor and proofreaderer prices. The ideal beta reader is a well-read, intelligent individual with a love of books and authors.  They usually beta read for free, but some will ask for an acknowlegement in the book, or a simple "thank you!" via email! They are the before-it-is-ever-in-the-hands-of-an-editor step that many newbies, such as yourself, should take advantage. I have suggested beta readers countless of times for many of my authors, before they use me.  Be careful, however.  Ask the beta for whom he/she has read; make sure it's not some nutbag who just wants to be in print.  When they write you, is their email message riddled w/ typos? Do they only write in lowercase? (C'mon, it isn't that difficult to cap when necessary.  How lazy!) Do they speak proper English?  I refuse to recommend any beta reader who insists on using "ain't" in our correspondences.  It is not proper; we just met and I'm an editor: you expect me to recommend you to an author when you refuse to speak correctly?  In character context, yes, but upon our first meeting?  Nuh-uh.  For (pick a deity)'s sake, use a real word----and use the SHIFT key!   
    PS: Ken, thanks for the plug. What this author needs, however, is a beta reader.  We'll get him/her straightened out, lol :-).

  • How can I see my iCloud content online?

    I have synced my Pictures library on my PC to the iCloud PhotoStream. Is there a way to see all my iCloud content in a web interface, like it's allowed by all other cloud services (such as Skydrive, Google Drive, SugarSync, Dropbox)? It's surprising to find that iCloud doesn't provide this simple feature that every other cloud service does.

    The problem I have is that new iPhone photos (post iCloud setup) appear correctly in the PhotoStream folder on my PC, but the hundreds of older photos in my Camera Roll don't. That's my simple problem.
    I understand.
    I can give you a Mac answer, but I'm not sure how the whole Photo Stream thing works in Windows.
    On the Mac, you'd synch the photos from the phone to your computer and then move them to the Photo Stream in iPhoto.
    I'm not sure how to do the same thing on Windows.
    Does this article help?

  • My laptop was stolen, and came online. i have an email telling me i can view that location for 24 hours, but i don't know how. when i go to find my iphone it says offline. can i see where it came online and how?

    Hey guys. My macbook pro was stolen and i checked the box for icloud to email me when it came online. It did, and says I have 24 hours to vew the location. How do i do this? when i go to find my iphone, it simply says offline again.

    Hi,
    I would report this to the police and they will help you track down your MacBook Pro and catch the theft.
    They will know what to do.
    I would go to http://icloud.com to view the location of your laptop.
    Hope this helps.

  • I want to uninstall my version of adobe elements 11 in order to upgrade my operating system and then re-install. I have the original disk but not the code or registration info - where can I find it or how can I contact someone who can help me?

    Do I have to alert adobe if I'm moving my product from one computer to another? or will they recognise my intentions when my product is removed from their database?

    Is there a way to export my movie timeline (as in the organisation of my
    clips, not just the movie)  to a external hard drive. I thought publish
    would help but I'm unsure and the export button under file doesn't light
    up. I'm using Elements 11 and I'm trying to save it to a hard drive so I
    can unistall the program, upgrade my operating system and reinstall.

  • HT201317 I can not see my photo stream online

    I have my photo stream turned on but when I look at my iCloud online there are icons for apps I do not have turned on and my photo stream is missing. What am I doing wrong??

    There is no icon for Photo Stream and your images are not viewable when logged into iCloud.
    iCloud merely "pushes" pictures taken on an iOS device to other devices and computers.

  • After updating to Firefox 8.0.1, I can't see my clock while online and also don't have access to minimized tabs I need while working on research papers (unless I minimize/close Firefox first). Is there something I can do about this? Thanks!!

    I don't have many more details for you - my laptop is an HP Pavilion with Windows and it's about three years old.
