IChat says I'm available, but all buddies are grey...

I have been successfully using my iChat AV for months on my university's internet network. When I came home to visit, I began using my family's internet connection through a wireless connection. Everything else works fine except my iChat. It logs me in and says that I am available, but all the names are dimmed (grey). I know for a fact that people are logged on, because I then go to aim.com and sign on and there are several people on. Does anyone know what could be going on?
Thank you!

  • CS6 Encore launches but all options are greyed out

    The headline says it all. I'm using CS6 on a MacBook Pro, OS 10.7. Previously Encore has worked well. After the most recent update, Encore will launch but all of the options are greyed out. I can't start a new project, etc. When I try to open a previous Encore project, I receive an error message that some needed software is missing. Any ideas to help me solve the problem? With many thanks.

    I suspect that same sort of issues that one gets when the activation is messed up. I think the resolution is deactivate and reactivate.
    Are you missing any presets in Premiere? I would look at some of the issues in the Premiere forum to further diagnose the problem and look for the recommended fix.

  • After 10.5.3 update, all buddies are greyed out, already deleted prefs

    This is driving me nuts. I installed the 10.5.3 combo updater and iChat stopped working. Using AIM and Bonjour. All the buddies in both lists are greyed out. Cant' send or receive messages & AOL server thinks I'm offline even though it claims to log in properly.
    I quit the iChatAgent and deleted all the preferences.
    com.apple.iChat.AIM.plist
    com.apple.iChat.plist
    com.apple.iChat.SubNet.plist
    com.apple.iChatAgent.plist
    Rebooted the machine, and the problem wasn't resolved. I reinstalled the 10.5.3 combo updater, still no love.
    I created a new system user account and it all works fine when logged to the computer as the new user.
    Any thoughts?

    Go to iChat > Preferences > Accounts > Security settings tab.
    Make sure all the Buddies have not been Added to the Block list
    Make sure they are in the Allow Specific People list (or reset it to Allow All).

  • I updated my iPhone and now none of the music on it will play. When I sync, I can change teh music selections on it, but they all won't play and are greyed out. Only the Playlists, Artists, Albums are black font, but all songs are grey and won't play

    I recently updated my iPhone 3G to 5.0 (9A334) and it was somehow interrupted during restoration, or at least that is what it tells me. But it keeps making a new restore and adding it to a list, but never gets through without getting interrupted. anyways, I kind of got through all that, but now all the music on the iPhone won't play and is greyed out. I had some APPs greyed out, but they are not as important. Music is a huge investment in my life and this part of it has gone silent. I SYNC with my iMac. Resyncing doesn't help. I can change the selections, but can never get them to play on the iPhone.
    Any ideas?

    I'm having the same issue, i restored my phone to Factory settings, even tried restoring it to my backup, half of my music bought from itunes won't play on my iphone and i'm super annoyed, this only happened once i updated to ios 7.2 so i assume its another glitch to go with my imessages not sending, getting sick of this.

  • Everytime i try and send a message to my boyfriend through imessage on my ipad, it says "Message send failure" but all of the messages are coming in through my email, i hate texting my boyfriend through my email. So can someone help me, please.

    "iMessage allows users to send texts, photos, videos, contact information, and group messages over Wi-Fi or 3G to other iOS 5 users, thus providing an alternative to standard SMS messaging for all users with devices running iOS 5."
    This is what it is and what it does. You both have to have iOS 5 installed on your supported device. If that's not what your setup is, then that's your answer.

  • I can't download the Sandy Relief album that I pre ordered. Apple sent me an email saying it was available but when I try to donwload it I get a message saying I already have, which I have not.

    .Apple sent me an email saying it was available but when I try to donwload it I get a message saying I already did. I checked the store menu and it indicated that there is nothing available to download. I don't have the songs or the album showing in Itunes anywhere. Not sure what to do.

    Hi OverratedBacon,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.  I would first try downloading the songs from your past purchases by following the appropriate steps here:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519
    If you're still unable to receive your preorder, you may want to report this to the iTunes Store:

    Hi nitramred,
    To start troubleshooting this issue where you are unable to adjust the volume after receiving a call, please go ahead and first force close all of the apps currently running on the device, and then reset it by following the steps in the articles below.

    Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
    Take care,

  • I transfered my purchases from my iphone to my mac. All transfers completed. One particular album shows up on the phone but the songs are greyed out and don't play. Itunes shows album as purchased but album is not in my Mac library.

    I transfered my purchases from my iphone to my mac. All transfers completed. One particular album shows up on the phone but the songs are greyed out and don't play. Itunes store shows album as purchased but album does not show up in my Mac library. How can I retrieve the album.

    So i've found the answer to this by clicking on every menu and setting in the itunes store. It turns out some purchases in the cloud can be hidden probably as the result of an interrupted transfer/sync/backup or a network outage. To unhide purchases 'greyed out ' items , go to the Itunes store (on the PC) click on your account name and select view account. (you'll be prompted for your itunes password) once you are in scroll down to the purchase history section. there should be an option for hidden purchases. click through and click on unhide purchases, redownloadble purchases. any hidden purchases will then show up. click on unhide to reactivate and download. This may only work for purchases in the cloud.
    hope others find this useful.

  • Yesterday i bought ipad4 i transfered photos from pc to ipad that it opened in ipad when i click slideshow everything went black. whenever i m opening the application(photos) full screen looking black but all photos are occuping memory.

    yesterday i bought ipad4 i transfered photos from pc to ipad that it opened in ipad when i click slideshow everything went black. whenever i m opening the application(photos) full screen looking black but all photos are occuping memory.i can see the pictures in settings>brightness>wallpapers but i couldnt able to see in photos application in ipad4

    I have several thousand photos in several folders. I have noticed that whenever I want to change the folder used as the side show source, it takes the Screen Saver Preference pane a very long time to respond. It is as if it is scanning all the photos in the currently assigned folder in order to display them in the preview window provided, and it gets so dogged down doing that it can't respond to my clicks on the Choose Folder option.
    Assuming you don't want to redistribute your photos into a greater number of folders or subfolders so there would be fewer in each folder to process, you could try a workaround. Try moving your currently-assigned folder to your desktop temporarily, before opening the Screen Saver preference pane. If the preference pane can't find the old folder, it may immediately ask you to choose a new one. You could hopefully then do so, close the preference pane, and then put back the old folder.
    It's my understanding that there will be no future updates to Tiger, only security fixes.

  • Trying to update my apps...all apps are greyed out and say waiting.

    ..all apps are greyed out and say waiting. This has been going on for a day. I have reset my setting turned off my iPad and no changes

    Maybe one of these suggestions will work. Ignore any that you have already tried.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes - a song or podcast .... if you have a download in there that did not finish, complete that one first. Only one thing can download at a time on the iPad so that could be what is causing the problem.
    If that doesn't work - sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
    Settings>iTunes & App Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Go back to Settings>iTunes & App Store>Sign in and then try to update again. Tap one waiting icon only if necessary to start the download stream.
    You can also try deleting the waiting icons - tap and hold down on an icon until it wiggles - the tap the X on the icon to delete it. Then try to download again.
    You can try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered.
    If all else fails, download the updates or the apps in iTunes on your computer and then sync the content to your iPad.

  • Hi, I am trying to download IOS7 to my ipad. The programme has locked at the 'Choose a Wif-Fi network' page, a box says 'joining other network' but the page is greyed out and can't move from it.  How can I clear this screen and finish the download. Thanks

    Hi, I am trying to download IOS7 (not sure if it's 1 or 2) to my ipad. The programme has locked at the 'Choose a Wif-Fi network' page, a box says 'joining other network' but the page is greyed out and can't move from it.  How can I clear this screen and finish the download. Thanks

    Hello Den53,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    For more information on this, take a look at:
    iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430?viewlocale=en_US
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider.
    After the device has turned off, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
    Best of luck,
    Mario
