IChat AIM - Can add new buddies, but won't show up as online

I've tried adding 4 or 5 buddies, some of whom are ichat users, some are not. I've had them IM me, i've deleted there name and re-added it, i changed their address from home to other to work in the address book. I checked the security. I need help.

Hi Skinner!
Welcome to the Apple Discussions
There can be several reasons for this.
1) You added the screen name as a .mac one when they were and AIM one
2) The reverse of 1)
3) you spelt the name wrong.
4) they are blocking you.
5) They have not added you to their Buddy list and are set to Allow Buddies only
6) Somehow you are Blocking them.
7) The AIM servers are out of synch and not accepting the names properly. (if they do show up at restart this is the problem)
8) you have not got port 5190 open on the UDP protocol.
This lat one will also prevent you from Group chatting and sending files/pics

    i recently got new mac air and transferred my old version garageband projects now when I open them in 10.0.2 I can add new tracks but then nothing can record, shows its receiving sound from software inst. but no sound. I checked audio preferences and they are set as they should be. I tried it in all the other older projects and same issue anyone have any experience like this very frustrating.  Can one download old version still ? or can you run both versions on OS10.9.5 ?

    Ok, either my question was too long or nobody seems to have an answer. Sad, either way
    Here's something I found out in the meantime, maybe this is interesting for somebody or maybe - problem's not totally solved - enough info for any of you to give me further advice.
    When I start Logic Core Audio driver de-activated, I can open old songs. Then I save them in a new folder with all audio files and a new name. And I remove all EXS24 instruments as well as the Space Designer. I quit Logic, re-open with Core Audio activated and I can open the song.
    Problem no.1: EXS24 instruments don't find the appropriate samples, but EXSMananger Pro did help me with this. Same problem with Space Designer, which doesn't find the impulse responses, connected to a certain preset.
    Two questions, every idea would be great!
    - Is there any way to teach Space Designer Presets where to look for impulse respones. I can load IR samples directly and create a new preset, but I can't use my old ones.
    - Is it possible to install Logic from scratch over an existing version? Or how should I de-install everything connected with Logic and then install a fresh version from CD?
    Thank you again,
    Joern

  • I upgraded to 10.8.2 but can't find my notes from before.  The new notes are not in mail and I can add new notes but I can't find my old notes

    I upgraded to 10.8.2 but can't find my Notes from before I upgraded.  The new Notes are not in Mail and I can now add new Notes but I can't find my old Notes.

    First, make sure iCloud is selected as the default account in the Notes settings on the iPad. If it is, sign out of iCloud and sign back in.

  • 10.4.4 CD mount gone, but DVD and VLC work, can burn a disk, but won't show

    Super drive seemed to work after 10.4.4 and iTunes upgrades for several days until yesterday when cds, either commercial, RW or burned in iTunes refuse to mount. DVD works fine, and I can burn CD's in iTunes, they just won't show up on this G5. Inserting a cd does not trigger itunes or CDDB lookup. Only thing that may be different is that I used a Lexar Jump Drive Secure recently to transfer some files. Seemed to stop working after that. I can access the drive through Toast and Disk Utility by the way, and inserting a DVD works just fine to launch DVD player. There is no change in drive preference settings that I can find.
    Any suggestions? Haven't yet tried Archive and Install just in case there's something obvious with this upgrade. If the Lexar installs any drivers, I'm not sure how to uninstall them. Seems as though there could be an incompatibility there. This drive does install a password program that has worked in the past...
    There were some issues shared by many Mac users when first going to Tiger with poor reads in the Superdrive...these seemed resolved up until now...
    I use this G5 for audio editing for two radio shows, so I sure need to get the cd function back...
    Thanks!

    Problem solved. Proven to be 10.4.4 upgrade. Attempted archive and install, but computer would not boot from CD (though Mac Install disk DID mount properly, but restart would not boot). Tried swapping to another DVD drive, same problems so NOT hardware, NOT firmware as suspected by Apple Care support.
    But since DVD's appeared to mount properly, tried Mac DVD install disk...worked perfectly, and now Audio cd's mount fine with either DVD drive.
    Will try upgrading again to see if problem is reproduced or if it was a corrupted initial install...

    How did the photos/albums get onto the phone ?
    Only photos taken with the iPhone or saved from emails/websites etc can be deleted directly on the phone - either via the trashcan icon at the bottom right corner if viewing the photo in full screen, or via the icon of the box with the arrow coming out of it top right in thumbnail view. Albums that you've created directly on the phone can be deleted via the Edit button at the top right of the album selection screen.
    Photos/albums that were synced from your computer are deleted by moving/removing/de-selecting them from where they were synced from on your computer and then re-syncing

  • How do I erase a CD read/write disc on my macbook so I can add new data

    help!
    How do I erase a CD read/write disc on my macbook so I can add new data. If a disc is a RW, I shouldn't i be able to write to it after it already has some data on it?
    I get a screen note saying I can't add anything because something is already on the disc... but it's only one little 3 meg file. But apple i info. shows no room on the cd.
    How can I erase the cd and reuse it? I find no erase command and when I try to drag the file to the trash, i get another note saying i don't have permission... even tho I've check off the permission box.
    sheesh.

    Open Disk Utility, choose the CD on the left side and click "Erase" on the right.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    If your problem persists get yourself a micro USB cable (sold separately), you can restore your Apple TV from iTunes:
    Remove ALL cables from Apple TV. (if you don't you will not see Apple TV in the iTunes Source list)
    Connect the micro USB cable to the Apple TV and to your computer.
    Reconnect the power cable (only for Apple TV 3)
    Open iTunes.
    Select your Apple TV in the Devices list, and then click Restore.
    (You may already have a micro USB cable if you have a camera or other digital device)

  • MM-SUS:You can add new fields in the BSP?

    Hi Gurus,
    I wonder if you can add new fields in the BSP of invoice in SUS.
    I need to enter new fields and then to perform validations using these new fields.
    know how to work toward a solution?
    Cristian

    Hi Cristian,
    As Akash has mentioned go to BSP application SRMSUS in SE80. Here you can copy standard invoice views and controler to z and then change them.
    You can then create Z tables to store all values entered in this screen. You can ask your programmer to put validity checks accordingly.
    Regards,

    i have videos in my pic on 4s which i can't delete i can add or email but no delete

    You cannot delete Photos or videos that are synced from your computer.  You have to delete it from your Synced folder on your PC then sync with your phone.  iTunes will then remove it from you phone.
    For video that is in the camera roll, your can delete it anytime.

    I changed my apple ID, now iCloud doesn't see my new ID, but won't accept my old password either.

    I tried that now. I was forced to "delete" everything on the cloud, and now I tried signing in exactly as you described, about 45 mins ago, and I'm still waiting for it to actually sign in.
