IChat shows all my buddies off line but they can still see and message me

So the other day all of my buddies disappeared from my buddy list. This has happened before and I just restarted the program and it was fine. I assumed it was some glitch that appeared after having the program running for a while.
This time I restarted the program and nothing happened.
So all my friends can see and message me, I can change my status, and they can see it. Once I get an IM from them I can have a normal chat. I can log into any service, AIM or even my gmail chat, and I still have this problem.
I haven't changed anything in my preferences or downloaded any new programs.
I updated all software in case that was the problem and restarted. Nothing.
I've been perusing the discussion boards and it was suggested to change the port (to 443). I did this, and again nothing.
Also it suggested deleting com.apple.iChat.AIM.plist and .iChatagent. Both of which I did. And again nothing...
I am going to visit the geniusbar in three days but I would like to fix this before then. Any help will be greatly appreciated!!

Hi,
I have responded to two threads on this in iChat 3
This is one
In both I have had no confirmation that anything tried so far has worked.

  • Exchange 2007 - User's mailbox disappeared in EMC but they can still send and receive email

    We have a user that was complaining about not being in the address book anymore.  After I did a little rooting around in management console I noticed that their mailbox was no longer listed under Recipient Configuration -> Mailbox, but what's weirder
    is I can do a search and find her listed in the results - at which point I can right-click her name and do everything I normally can with no problem. Listing all of the mailboxes with PS shows her still there too.  As far as I know, she is the only user
    having this problem.
    She can send and receive email just fine, but like I said, she is no longer in the global address list so other users have trouble sending her stuff.  At her computer, I tried repairing her email (under account settings) but the process would fail when
    searching for her settings.  I don't know if this is a stupid thing to add, but I did run Clean-MailboxDatabase on our first storage group to see if her mailbox had been deleted or disconnected or whatnot but nothing is currently showing up in Recipient
    Configuration -> Disconnected Mailbox.
    Some info on our setup:
    Exchange 2007 on Windows Server 2003r2
    AD is on Windows Server 2008r2
    Her computer is running Outlook 2010
    I did restart our Exchange server 2 days ago to update VMWare tools, but no Windows updates were installed.  She couldn't tell me exactly when this problem started, but it was more-than-likely in the last couple of days as she was recently married and
    I had to change her name in AD and Exchange - so everything was confirmed 100% functioning 2-3 weeks ago.
    I'm at a lost for what the issue could be, but then again Exchange isn't exactly my forte, so any help would be much appreciated.

    First things first - is her mailbox hidden from address lists?  Run
    Get-Mailbox <alias> | Fl HiddenFromAddressListsEnabled to find out.  It probably isn't, but we need to clear this, just in case.
    Now, assuming it is not hidden, have you searched for both her maiden and married names in your directory?  Often, when the name on a mailbox is changed, the display name is not - and vice versa.  Also, has her email address also changed? 
    If so, has a secondary proxy address been added to reflect her maiden name?  I'd do this, just to be sure things aren't lost that should be delivered to her.
    I can't think of anything else obvious right now.  After you've checked these things, get back to us with their results.

    Just FYI, diesel, per an agreement between Verizon and the FCC which allowed Verizon to buy additional spectrum, all Verizon-model iPhone 5, 5C and 5S models are already unlocked.

    Hi BGreg,
    The disc WAS injected when I first discovered that. It doesn't sto garageband (maybe other apps too) from reading & opening the files.

    Hey there MattSK123,
    Thank you for your question. It sounds like you are unable to see either of your devices in the sidebar of iTunes after a recent update. A number of issues could cause this type of behaviour, and would recommend starting with the troubleshooting from the article named:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1538
    If the issue is not resolved, I would next re install iTunes from either of the following articles depending on the version of Windows you have:
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1923
    Or
    Removing and Reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows XP
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1925
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Take care,
    Sterling

    Hi,
    First, please try the SFC command to check if you any corrupted system files:
    How to use the System File Checker tool to troubleshoot missing or corrupted system files on Windows Vista or on
    Windows 7
    If this issue persists, it is recommended to perform system restore to get back to a previous time point to check what the result is:

  • IChat video chat not working ANYMORE-can see friends, but they can't see me

    My built-in iSight camera is working. Photobooth works fine. My iChat used to work perfectly, video and all. But starting two nights ago, when I bring up a video chat screen with anyone, the picture preview of me freezes and the person I am talking with can't see anything. Not even a blank screen comes up for them; they can only hear my voice. But oddly, I can see that person and hear them as well. It's just the visual part that isn't working.
    Under Preferences on iChat, "Automatically open iChat when camera is turned on" is checked. So is, "Play repeated ring sound when invited to a conference." Bandwidth Limit: None. Microphone is set to "Internal microphone." Now, the preview screen works and shows me moving. But as soon as I bring up a video chat with someone, this screen freezes the picture (if I keep it open while opening video chat). Or, if I close it and then bring up a video chat, and bring up Preferences, the screen is black.
    This is very odd because iChat used to work fine with video chat, but all of a sudden it is not working at all. Please let me know if you have any idea what I can do to fix it. Thanks.

    lemke,
    You posted in your own thread that you have a Thomson-Alcatel Speedtouch modem.
    Yours is likely to be a different problem.

  • I lost all my contacts for the FOURTH time this week, but they're still there in "Messages." Help please I'm tired of going to Verizon to get it fixed.

    Please help. I recently went into my phone to find out that when I open contacts, there's none there. I've even checked the "Groups" tab and under the heading "On my iPhone" there is nothing there.
    The weird thing is, when I go into messages, they're all still there along with their names, but they're not in the contacts.
    I'm getting really aggrivated. Please help me.

    Its a easy fix,it will take too much time to type out all of the steps,
    Check your email account. see if they are their, You can then import them on your DAV card, The best thing to is add them to icoud then they will be safe.
    Apple support can talk you through it.
