IChat not working (not appearing online when I should be)

I have had iChat open all day and it appeared to be working fine, but I never noticed anyone come online which is unusual. I then opened iChat on my wife's computer (using her account) and I didnt appear online, and she didnt appear in my account. I tried deleting my plist file, resetting my disc permissions and restarting my computer but it didnt help. I logged in on my wife's computer and had the same problem. It may be a coincidence but yesterday I installed the latest iChat AIM update on my iPhone and I set it up to keep me online 24 hours after I quite (using the SMS alerts). I tried logging out and disabling it on my iPhone but still no luck. Any help much appreciate, as I use iChat alot!

I seem to have fixed it. I downloaded AIM for mac, and it was the same problem. It showed all my friends as offline when I knew some of them should be online. I then tried talking with someone I knew was online and it said they were blocked. In my buddy list however it showed them as not being blocked, but I blocked one of them anyway and then unblocked them and then it allowed me to chat with that person. Then I quit AIM and opened iChat and it started working. Very strange I know, but I wont be using iChat on my iPhone until they bring out a new update.

IPad Air does not appear online when using "Find my Phone"

Curious why my iPad Air appears "offline" in the Find my Phone app when it is in sleep mode. All of my other devices (iPhone 5 & iPhone 4) both appear online (and on the map) even though they are sleeping.
All devices are running ios7 and are connected to the same wifi network.

Hey there MntnBikeCT,
It sounds like you have the iPad Air setup with Find my iPhone but you are not able to locate with the app on a different device, but other devices work just fine. I suggest these steps from the article named:
iCloud: Troubleshooting Find My iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Mac
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4006
"No location available," "Offline," or "Location Services Off" alerts
This can occur if:
The date on your device is incorrect. Choose Settings > General > Date & Time to check and set the date.
Your iOS device is currently off or not connected to a data network (Edge, 3 or 4G, or Wi-Fi). Wait a few minutes and try again.
Your iPad (Wi-Fi only), iPod Touch, or Mac is currently off or not connected to a Wi-Fi network.
Location Services is not enabled on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch (Settings > Privacy) or on your Mac (Date & Time) preferences. Learn more about Location Services on your Mac:

Stationary credated in Mail does not appear properly when viewed in Outlook, is there aroundthis?

Stationary credated in Mail does not appear properly when viewed in Outlook, is there around this? Or, can I export (as a PDF) the email drafted in Mail with stationary that does not have the meail info on top of the page . Thanks so much for your help.

No real solution to problem 1, stationary tends to look different depending on the client, as for 2 Mail does not export to pdf but can print to pdf, however you still get the mail headers.

"Non rectangular objects will not appear correctly when exported using CSS."

I am using Ind CC 2014 exporting a document to a reflowable epub. The document contains an .ai image. The image exports correctly in some parts of the.epub but not others, where it is distorted. There is a warning on export :"Non rectangular objects will not appear correctly when exported using CSS." Any suggestions appreciated.

Thanks!

A brief and probably non-helpful answer: I know of no way to eliminate your large amount of duplicates other than by repetitive, tedious manual effort.
*There has got to be a simpler way.*
I hope you're right, but I don't think there is a simpler way.
BACKUP: It also appears that the only way I can back up the catalog is to shut down LR. Really?!
Yes, really

Subscriptions not appearing online!!

Here's a bit of a mystery... My partner's published a calendar online, and I am now subscribed to it. The subscribed calendar has appeared on iCal on my computer. All good so far! BUT... it doesn't appear on my iCal calendar online.
To increase the mystery, the Birthdays calendar, automatically created by iCal on my computer, DOES appear as a subscribed calendar online.
Does anyone know how I can get all calendars to appear online??!
Many thanks!

Birthdays is a special 'subscribed' calendar.
MobileMe does sync subscribed calendars, but they don't show on the web interface or on the iPhone when syncing over-the-air. They do appear on another mac syncing with the same account. (iPhone OS 3.0 has introduced a way of seeing subscribed calendars on the iPhone, but this is not syncing.)
This is what Apple says on the subject:
Syncing calendar subscriptions and CalDAV calendars
Symptoms
iCal can subscribe to various calendars, including some calendars provided by Apple or published by other MobileMe members. You can also use iCal to connect to a CalDAV server (in Mac OS X v10.5 or later). After subscribing to a calendar, or adding a CalDAV account to iCal on your Mac and syncing with MobileMe, you may see some unexpected results on your other computers or devices syncing with MobileMe:
iPhone/iPod touch with iPhone OS 3.0
Subscription and CalDAV calendars configured in iCal on your Mac will not sync via MobileMe to your iPhone/iPod touch.
Outlook 2003/2007 (syncing with MobileMe Control Panel)
Subscription and CalDAV calendars will not appear in Outlook 2003/2007.
MobileMe Calendar (www.me.com/calendar)
Subscription and CalDAV calendars will not appear on MobileMe Calendar.
Mac OS X
After first adding a subscription or CalDAV calendar information on one Mac, and syncing with a second Mac, the calendar information might appear on the second Mac, but no events may appear in the calendar.
Resolution
iPhone/iPod touch with iPhone OS 3.0
With iPhone OS 3.0, you can subscribe to calendars or configure CalDAV calendars in Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars on your iPhone/iPod touch. Calendars added to your iPhone/iPod touch are not synced with MobileMe, so the calendars you subscribe/connect to may be different on your iPhone/iPod touch than on your Mac. For more information on setting up calendars on your iPhone/iPod touch, see the iPhone Users Guide.

Navbar does not appear online

I just published a site on iWeb. everything is fine but, when i tried loading the folders and files on my site at the hosting service, the Navigation Bar does not appear. I checked and rechecked, every single file and folder are correct. Still No navigation bar. Anyone out there know about these glitches? Or did I mess up? Thanks for the support.

I'm having the same problem - Using Safari, in Firefox my secondary navigation bar appears but not the main one

Backup Assistant Contacts Not Appearing Online

Hello, I've searched for similar problems with no luck. I've installed backup assistant in my old LG VX8575 to get the contacts off so I can download them to my new phone. Backup Assistant on the phone says it's backed up 292 contacts and that I can see and edit them online. But online when I access my account at verizonwireless.com/backupassistant, which becomes wbillpay.verizonwireless.com/vzw/nos/ba_nab/overview_def.jsp, the apparently new portal for backup assistant plus, my contacts list is empty. The phone numbers are identical. What can I do now to get the contacts to show up online so I can activate my new phone and download them? Thanks!

Hmm, now they ARE there, over half an hour later. Wonder if they ought to say wait a while and then they'll show in the instructions... Thanks anyway, all!

Arrrgh-buddies not appearing online

Ok, I am officially frustrated. My buddy list stopped showing when my buddies are online and offline. I have deleted my buddies and added them, but it still doesn't work. i deleted my wife off and re-added her(including deleting her off of the address book). Her icon came back up but she is still greed out, even though she is sitting next to me. She comes up in bonjour just fine. We are both on macbooks running the latest and greatest in Tiger, and we have an airport extreme and airport express in our house. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Also check they are not accidently Blocking you.
They are on a PC have they got Invisiblity On.
If you are at the same location using the same modem, how have you set it up to allow computers to use the same ports ?
iChat will need port 5190 on UDP to see the Buddy list properly - if this Port Forwarded (including Protocols on soem devices) to one computer the other may not be able to log into AIM at all or show discrepanncies as described here.

Images not appearing online

I have certain images that when I open iWeb, appear normal just as usual, but when I visit the page online, it looks as though they are there because while it loads it shows the gray frame that surrounds an image, but then those disappear and the images are not there.'
Help please!

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Try using the Publish All to .Mac menu option. That usually corrects missing files for me. Also make sure you clear your browser's cache so you're not looking at an older cached version of the page.

IChat not displaying online buddies

I can still log into iChat successfully, but once im logged in, my online buddies dont appear, just all of my groups with all of my buddies in the "offline" category, i was told to delete the iChat files and restart my computer to configure the iChat settings, any help on how to do this? or fix my issue? thanks

Hi,
Rather than the one Defcom suggests I would delete com.appleichat.AIM.plist if the Screen Name logs into AIM or the Jabber one for a Jabber or GoogleTalk Buddy list

Edited iPhone 4s pictures do not appear edited when viewed/transferred on a Windows PC.

Hello All,
When I transfer pictures that are taken and edited on my iphone 4s (using the default camera app) to a Windows PC, these pictures do appear to be edited. I wish to edit the pictures on my camera (quicker), rather than transfer them and edit them on my Windows PC.
By the way, I transfer my photos to my PC simply by opening the iPhone on my PC as a drive, not via iTunes. Must I use iTunes to transfer edited pictures to my computer?
Thank you!

Snapseed is not a real solution. Cumbersome & awkward way to transfer edited photos from an iphone to a PC. You ultimately only sharing with Google, FaceBook, etc or emailing the pics to yourself. Plus the software costs money, it isn't free, and is ultimately a poor band-aid for something that the Apple product should already do. Customers spent $400-$800 on the phone to begin with, which has a camera & built-in editing tools that do you absolutely no good, because only the original photos can be transferred to PC. Simply ridiculous. Plus the support, pricing, and product info for SnapSeed is poor. A German company that is using Google+ as its website, and has inconsistent & missing info.
I've tried all the PC photo transfer software for iPhone like SnapSeed, TunesGo, etc. They all cost around $30-$40 and up, and ultimate just create more work with awkward & cumbersome sharing, which still is several steps away from truly transferring edited photos. Plus many of these suggested programs only transfer the original photos anyway, so its a wild goose chase.These are not 'solutions' and are crappy workarounds for shortcomings in iOS & Apple products. To compensate for functionality that should already be in the product.
If going the file sharing route, DropBox is way easier, better, & free. Its a much cleaner & faster way to bulk upload edited photos to DropBox, then bulk download those edited photos from DropBox directly to a folder on your PC.
That said, all of this is just ludicrous. Only supporting transferring the original unedited photos to PC, taken by the iphone camera, yet those same photos edited using built-in iphone functionality cannot be transferred to PC, is simple insane. I don't know who or how someone at Apple thought this was acceptable or a good idea, but it is one of many really really poor decisions and shortcomings with the iPhone, iPad, and the management software/support.
Apple really needs to fix this and support transferring edited photos to PC, just like the originals. In fact, who asked Apple to save the originals anyway? I didn't do a 'save as', I edited the original photo. The edited version should be the ONLY version of that photo on my phone, You can't even access the unedited original from the phone itself. So whats the point of saving the original? If a user edits a photo, that's the version they want, not the original...!
Come on Apple....seriously....?

Discount or Membership not appearing online

I bought GCU a couple days ago but my account is still showing free membership. Also, the discount is not working. This is ridiculous, I expect a product/service to work, especially when I have paid in advance for it!

Hi hattorihanxo701, and welcome to the forum,
I looked over your account history using the email address you registered with the forum, and I do see that you signed up to become a Gamers Club Unlocked member on 3/22/2014. It can generally take about 24 hours for our system to reflect a new Unlocked account, so you should be able to see your Unlocked status now if you were to login to MyBestBuy.com.
As far as the 20% Unlocked discount, in-order to have it apply to a BestBuy.com order, you would need to make sure that your BestBuy.com and My Best Buy™ accounts are linked. From everything that I can see on our side, your accounts appear to be properly linked. I performed a quick test just to make sure the discount was working properly and it seems to be working fine.
If you are still not seeing your Unlocked status or the 20% discount does not look to be applying to BestBuy.com orders, please send me a private message with your primary email address and I will see what I can do to further assist. A private message can be sent by clicking on the blue button located within my signature.
Thank you for posting.
