IChat bubbles for certain buddies stuck on a certain color

This issue is pretty stupid- I see most people are having problems with getting their iChat to work. Thankfully mine works well (most of the time) but I have a question regarding the look of my chats.
I may be mistaken, but I thought that when I first got my macbook/started using iChat (August 2008) that each time someone would message me, their chat bubbles would come up a different color. But now they are stuck on a few certain colors, always the same color bubbles for the same person. I've tried going to Preferences > Messages > Reformat Incoming Messages and choosing "Random" for "Sender's Balloon color" but it still doesn't change, even after starting a new chat window with the person, ALSO even after deleting them from my buddy list & re-adding them. Is this just how iChat works? Like I said, I coulda sworn it was different when I first had iChat, but I am not positive. If there is any way I could get around this problem, that would be great... Also, the buddies I am talking about are using AIM for windows, and I know that these are not their own text formatting colors.

Hi,
AS you can choose your Outgoing Colour of the Balloons (IM background) and the Font and it's colour so can your Buddies.
Unless you choose to Override Incoming Messages they will appear the colours and Fonts choices they have made.
The only time they will change is if the Buddy chooses to do so.

Two questions: how do Skype and iChat compare for group video? quality, reliability, cost, etc are important. 2) Is my MobileMe ID what I need to use in the window in making an iChat buddy? It only says AIM above the window, online tutorial differs.

Hi,
IChat uses better Video Compression than Skype does.
On a top flight Mac you can send a 640 X 480 pixel frame up to 30 frames a sec.
Skype can't match this.
iChat in Video is Peer to Peer. (you can actually Log out of the Buddy list)
Skype seems to borrow something from everyone's bandwidth to make connections.
What do you mean by Business account Tracking ?
iChat Adds (or can add) the First Name, Last Name of your Buddies and create an Address Book Entry
Whether you mark those cards connected with a company is up to you.
(I have heard of issues with earlier version of iChat and the Address Book that "saw" the Company Name as the part of the Name and linking several Screen Names to the one name
Audio on a Mac using Skype tend to be the same as the streaming needs are less.
However you have to rely on any PCs audio abilities from PCs which may not be to the same standard.
Mac to PCs in iChat and AIM can be difficult though. (It should work but it rarely as simple as Plug and go)
Skype may suit your needs better on ocassions.

How do I change the script for a voice iChat Alerts for when a friend becomes unavailable?

How do I change the script for a voice iChat Alert for when a friend becomes unavailable?
Before I upgraded my system from Mac OS 10.4.11 to Mac OS 10.6.8 - I a had personalized the script for a voice iChat Alert when my husband logged off from work. I had the ichat voice warn me "OH, Crap! he's coming home now! Hurry clean house!" This personalized voice alert did not survive the upgrade. Now, I need step by step instructions to walk me through the process. Please help! I mis my machine shouting funny profane alerts.

Hi,
In iChat 3 (OS 10.4.x) there was Line at the Bottom of iChat > Preferences > Alerts that you could enter text to and it would speak that Text.
(you could set something against Individual Buddies as well).
This Setting is not there in iChat 4 or 5 (I presume iChat 6 as well).
Now it is possible to write AppleScripts that can Speak.
It is alos possible in iChat 4 upwards to link an AppleScript to an Action/Alert
At this point my lack of AppleScript knowledge lets me down on what to tell you to do next.
An Alternative would be to Record a sound with said alert.
Place this sound in your Home Folder/Library/Sounds
Then in the Alert opton for youe husband select the Log off option and link that Sound

Buddy Availability Not Appearing on Mail for Some Buddies

Mail shows the availability of buddy for most buddies (just two so far). Mail does not indicate when one buddy is available. I copied the email address from that specific email and pasted into the iChat Profile, but still Mail does not recognize this iChat buddy as available.
Any ideas? Thanks.

I've observed the same behavior since 10.5.2 came out. It seems to me that if the e-mail address of the person who sent you the mail contains any uppercase characters, you won't see the buddy status in the column in the inbox.
What's interesting though, is that you will see the status ball next to the e-mail addresses if you preview the note in the preview pane. Also, if you compose a note to the same person, you'll see the status globe as soon as you type in their address in the TO: or CC: field, even if it's not showing in the status column of the Inbox.
So my theory here is that for some reason, the mail app has some unintentional case sensitivity that's causing the status column to to work in the inbox, because as you say, it shows up in the address book and other places just fine. When I receive an e-mail from any buddy and their e-mail address comes across in all lower case characters, the status DOES display correctly in the status column. Are the buddies that show up for you in all lower case?

IChat bubbles are huge

I've adjusted the font and played with preferences, but I can't get the iChat bubble to go to a nomal size. Any ideas? The images in the package contents look correct too.

Hi,
The IM itself is spread over two lines as the Chat window is narrow.
It is possible to recreate this using the ALT key.
This key when used as a modifier for the Enter key adds a new line to the IM before it is sent.
However I don't think this is someone doing that.
There are two places to change the Font, its colour (text) and one for the Balloon colour.
IN the iChat Menu > Preferences > Messages you can choose the Font. (you can also chose the colour of the text.)
This tends to be something that looks easy to read at 12 and 14 point.
The default is Helvetica at 12 point. If for some reason your Helvetica is turned Off iChat and other app will not launch.
However once you have set the Font Size there you can resize the IM in the Format Menu and "re-chose" the Font (And it's size) and you can colour the Font here as well.
You would tend to use this to highlight part of the text you were sending.
However when you do this the Balloon retains the size of the Preferences Font.
i.e. if the Format menu thinks the IM is 40 point in size it will Line break the text at 40 point even if you have selected a 12 point Font size.
However when I test this a natural Line break (The text wrapping itself at the end of the Line base in Width of Chat window) does not do this.
The Prefs were set to 48 point.
The Format menu was used to Set 12 point.
The "Format Size" balloon ended with several ALT + enter Line breaks
The last IM is an attempt to see if the Text would do it automatically.
Is it just the Incoming Message that has the oversized balloon ?
Are you Overriding incoming Messages as far a size and Font are concerned ?
The Pic appears to show Helvetica which your end could have defaulted to if you don' have the Font your Buddy is using.
However as the Buddy is asking to See the Big Balloon I take it they are not send it like that.
In iChat 5 which I have I have to deliberately set it to Override Incoming Messages
In Messages that I am working with this is Automatic and resizes it to the stated default size.
I am not sure about iChat 6 in this area.

Sales Orders not to be created for certain customers via legacy

Hi,
We have an inbound interface from legacy into SAP which creates Sales Orders in SAP. But we have a requirement where the business does not want sales orders to be created for certain customers in SAP via the interface.
To prevent the sales orders from being created for those customers via the interface, we have created entries in the look-up tables (Hope other projects also use lookup tables and are aware of what are look-up tables). But still the sales orders are being created in SAP for those customers via the interface.
What else should we do to prevent the sales orders from being created for those customers.
Thanks in advance.

Hi ABAP gurus, need your help on this one. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

CRM Availability Check not working for certain Item Category

Hi there,
I have a situation where for certain order type/item category combinations, the availability check on the same material is not working.
The check is set up to happen in SAP ECC.
I have checked the config. under SPRO->CRM->Basic Functions->Availability Check->Availability Check using SAP ECC
as per many SDN posts on this, and everything looks fine.
The new item category, which was a copy of an existing one, works (i.e. gives availability) for certain order types, but not others.
If I create the same order directly in ECC, it works correctly every time.
I searched the code (from consultants who set it up originally) and can see nothing specific to the order type/ item category.
I also put a breakpoint on AVAILABILTY_CHECK function module in SAP ECC - it is not being hit, in the case where check is not successful.
Breakpoints in MV45AFZZ (Sales Order userexit) also not being hit, but they are hit for the Order/item category combination when it works successfully.
Any suggestions on where else this could be configured would be appreciated!
thanks,
David

Hi David,
One 'simple' reason for this could be that the copied item category does not have the
ATP Profile set up in the item category in the IMG. Make sure you have an ATP profile assigned in the area 'ATP Profile' in the item category.
Please see as well the SCN Wiki link:
Availability Check CRM-BTX-BF-ATP - CRM - SCN Wiki

How to trun off batch determination for certain shipping points ?

During Delivery Notes creation we would like to turn off the batch determination on basis of certail shipping points. can some please guide what is the best way to do it. We do not want it turned off for all the shipping points but for a special ones.
The idea is when we create Delivey for certain shipping point we do not need to fill in the batch code and yets save, pick confim, goods issue during delivery creation process....
we have sepcial shipping points for consignment process and for them we need to skip the batch determination......
Thanks in advance
Rajey

I don;t think you can control based on shipping point because batch creation is controlled at movement type level

HT201299 Not enable or disable cellular data for certain iOS apps and features from setting? I keep it off but when I go to other app it on automatic

I can't enable or disable cellular data for certain iOS apps and features from setting.
When I off data for specific application and go to other option it automatic on all application
Any one can help

SOLUTION! (NO NEED TO RESET YOUR IPHONE SETTING!)
I have the same issue for the last two weeks. But i have already managed to solve the issue all by myself. When i go to Settings > Cellular > below the tab "use cellular data for:", i turned off some apps which i didnt want to use with cellular data. As soon as i go back to Settings, and then i went back to Cellular, the apps which i had switched off earlier, automatically turned back on.
Here's the solution:
Either you're using wifi or cellular data, first of all you're gonna hafto turn on the cellular data use for App Store. Once you have turned it on, go to App Store application. Update ALL the apps which have new updates available. If it asks you to log in your App Store, just do so. If there's something wrong with your debit or credit card information, it will ask you to update to a different card. Just do what it asks. Put in a new credit or debit card info and fill in the forms provided. The card you're using must be usable and has usable balance in it. Let's say atleast $10 to $20. As soon as it confirms your card successfully, the app updates will start automatically. Continue to update all the apps. After all updates are finished, go back to Settings > Cellular. Try to switch on or off some apps for data use and recheck.
Try it yourself! Have a nice day and don't put a blame on Apple for this.
From Malaysia, with love.

Is there a way to change the color of the answer bubble for the texts? Mine is now in gray and very hard to read

I just updated my iPhone and would like to change the color of the bubble for the text reply. Mine is now GRAY and it is much more difficult to read. The outgoing text bubble is still blue. Can I do this?

Yes. Well, sort of: instead of a "path", set the pen tool to "shape" in the tool properties. Then set the fill colour to transparent, and the stroke colour to the colour you want. You can also set the stroke width.
Not perfect, but at least you can see the path more clearly - the anchor points and handles still remain the default colour. Open the path panel, and right-mouse click the path shape to create a selection based on that shape. The Paths panel menu also allows you to create work paths based on that shape.
Unfortunately when you try to move the handles the black thin outline appears again until you release the mouse button.
This is one of several things that works better in Photoline: in Photoline, once the path is set to a specific colour, editing the path uses the actual colour and stroke width. which is extremely handy for creating path based selection with awkward background colours and/or a high resolution screen. In Photoline the handles and bezier points are also much, much larger, which makes it rather simpler to work with as well - especially on a higher resolution screen. And when selected the handles and points are a clear red with a black outline - again easier to spot and identify. I just works better, in my opinion.

Avoiding creation of inspection lot for certain vendors.

Hi,
There is one requirement from my client side , that Inspection lot should not be created for certain vendors ( Issuing plant also consider as vendor here).
The correct requirement is if it is transfered from other plants it should not create the lot and on the other vendors it should create.
We have a have a option through maintaining the QM info record but it was not maintained earlier and newly creation is too difficult.
I remember there is some exit is available to overcome this. Any one having the earlier experince on this...Provide the exit and FM name... High priority one.
Regards
Pragash

Dear Pragash
1) You can maintain Quality info Record in enmass using QI06. Only maintain for the vendor you need to skip.
2) This exit can help you in controling the inspection lot
