IChat window always showing I'm Offline.

My status is always showing Offine, even after I change it. My buddies can see my status change and contact me, but I'm unable to contact them because my iChat window always thinks I'm offline and won't show me my buddie list.
I have deleted all the iChat preferences....no luck. Not sure what else to try.

Ok,
When you Add a Buddy it is normal to enter in the First Name, Last Name details.
This adds them to the Address Book.
In Leopard and Snow Leopard iChat did not tell you that there was an Error if you tried to Add someone that was already in the Address Book (It just did not add them to the Buddy List, Offline or otherwise)
You don't seem to be add new people which makes me think you do not have Permissions to Write (Save) to the Address Book.
This may also be true of the /plist that holds the Status Settings
I would go to your Home Folder and highlight the Library Folder there.
Then use the File Menu > Get Info (Or the Keystrokes) to see the Info panel.
The Last section is on Permissions and Ownership
It should list your account name and Me in Brackets (me)
Then that entry should have Read and Write Access.
If that Folder is OK check the Preferences Folder inside that.

Windows always shows lock screen when idle, ignores setting

On Windows 8, I had my computer set up so that the screen would turn off after a period of inactivity. When I would move the mouse or press a key, it would resume without asking me to log in. After upgrading to Windows 8.1, it is now always showing me the
lock screen when resuming from idle. In the lock screen settings, I found a new option named "When my PC is inactive, show the locks screen instead of turning off the screen". I have disabled this setting, but my computer still locks every time the
screen turns off.
How can I get my computer to stop locking when it is idle?

Hi,
What about the settings in Screen Saver? Please check the Option "On resume, display logon screen" is unchecked.

Cisco Jabber for Windows always shows "Away"

Cisco Jabber for Windows (9.0.1, CUPS 8.6.4, UCM 8.6.2, Exchange 2010) always shows status as "Away" for one user. Others seem to be working correctly showing "one the phone", "in a meeting", etc. Tried reinstalling client with no change. If you manually change to "Available", it changes right back to "Away". Anyone have an idea where to look (registry, logs, etc.)?

I am seeing the same problem. I haven't tried a different user to login on the same machine, but I did try closing my client on my primary machine (exited) and then logged in on a different computer with a fresh Jabber for Windows install.
I am running Jabber for Windows Version 9.0.2 Build 9453 on windows 7 64bit primarily, and Windows XP as the second test. Running CUPS 8.6.4 in HA over WAN cluster mode with CUCM 7.1.5 and Unity Connection 8.5.1 ES 16.
Phone presence information does still flow through when I pick up my phone hand set my status changes from Away to On a Call.
When I check the presence diagnostic test for my user, it also reports that I am away.

Project information window always show

Greetings,
I published a Captivate project (a simple recording) as a
Flash movie and it is used in an Authorware project. When the movie
plays in the Authorware file, the Project Information Windows shows
from the beginning and it never goes away, even when I click its
close button.
A similar question was asked in this forum in July 2007, but
it was not answered.
Any tip will be much appreciated!
Thank you,
Laurence

Additional Info to save time...
In LPX using the default US Key Command Set.... you must assign a key to that Key Command to see the Project Info screen....
LPX Menu Item..... Logic Pro X / Key Commands / Edit....
Next... in the key Command edit window that will open.. search for Project Information...
...and then assign a key..
I use the "Learn by Key label" method and then just press the key combo I wish to assign.
The assignment I choose is SHIFT + OPT + CTRL + P but you can assign whatever you like so long as it's not already used....
In LP9 (Or the LP9 Key Command set if used in LPX) the default Key Command is CTRL + D
Note: In LPX default US Key Command Set... CTRL + D is used for another key command.

SMC update always show up when starting the computer...

hi after the SMC update, every time when I restart my computer that SMC window always show up telling me that I'm at the 1.1 version. Is this normal? how do I turn it off? cause it is slowing down my computer when it's starting up.
thanks!

Although deleting it will probably solve the problem, I didn't have to when I ran the SMC update. It's still there and it doesn't pop up at every startup.
I just took a look at the script in the SMC firmware update installer that gets run after the install completes, and it looks like it just adds the updater application as a login item. Have you tried manually removing it from your login items?
Click on the Apple menu at the top left of the screen and choose System Preferences. Click on Accounts in the lower-left area of that window. Click on the Login Items "tab" at the top of the window and see if the firmware update is in the list. If it is, you can remove it by clicking on it and clicking the little minus sign button.

SMF service always shows offline even when it is up and running

I have added a service to SMF under /var/svc/manifest/application and am successful in starting it, but state always shows offline. How can I get it to show up as "online"?

Turns out I just needed to launch the app as a background task (use & in my svc method file) and it works fine.

Messages status always shows "offline"

I have only updated my mid 2009 macbook pro to Yosemite.
I have synced to my iPhone ok.
My Messages status always shows "offline" on the MBP even though I can chat on it.
Many thanks for any help.

At the bottom of the left New Message box, you can change it there.

Why is it that when I set the preference to always show the tab bar, it refuses to stay checked after I quit Firefox and restart it?

Using Mac OSX10.6.7 and FF 4.0.1, I'm having a problem with the preference to always show the tab bar. I want it to always show. I check this in the Preferences under the "tab" window, and everything is fine until I quit FF and when I restart FF the tab bar is gone again. I go into preferences, and that option is now unchecked. How can I fix this so that my preference is saved?

That hasn't helped the last ten times I tried. I posted before. I deleted the preferences file, I tried changing the preferences file, I went into about:config and changed the autoHide preference there. No dice. Firefox is not saving my preference for that one thing.

In Dual Monitor setup, with Thunderbird not in main monitor, the some dialogs always shows in other monitor

I have a three monitor set up. I have Thunderbird running in the right monitor. My main monitor is the middle one. Dialogs, such as Spell check, Activity Monitor always show up in the main window (not the one with Thunderbird) in the upper left hand corner.
It happens on Windows Vista and Windows 7 Professional.
I have Thunderbird version 24.3.0

Some dialogs when moved, stay moved. Others do not. The ones that frustrate me are those that are Centered and therefore show up split across my two monitors.

Firefox (latest versions) on both Mac 10.6 and Windows 7 show "this Connection is Untrusted" on my bank site

This started for me 1/17/2011 on the savingsbank.com website:
Firefox (latest versions) on both Mac 10.6 and Windows 7 show "this Connection is Untrusted" on my bank site https://www.savingsbank.com
NO other browsers - Explorer, Chrome, Safari - give this error box on this site. Please advise if this has to do with the bank site? or Firefox compatibility.
Saw in a forum someone else having this problem and they were told it had to do with their Date and time being off?? I've been on several computers, all with the correct date and time and they've all shown this Insecure Certificate statement on my bank site with Firefox and no other browser.

I've looked at the banking site with IE8 and it does NOT show me that "This connection is Untrusted" window. (please see attached screen shot of viewing the site with IE8) It opens fine and has "Identified by Network Solutions" showing on the address bar as it always does.
The latest version of Opera (not earlier ones) does show a problem with the website's security certificate.
We've contacted the bank about this, and they say there's no problem with their certificate but are looking into it.
My question remains, why only Firefox and one version of Opera claim this and NO other browser?

Remote Exchange Management Console "W3SVC isn't running on any Exhange servers in site" and always shows older version after SP2 or SP3 installed

I'm trying to use EMC on a computer to remotely manage Exchange 2010 without having to do from the actual Exchange servers.
First off, upgrading, uninstalling or installing EMC always fails on "Stopping" services. Seams to be a pretty common problem, but no clear fix other than deleting the registry entry (HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\ExchangeServer) and the
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server" folder. I'm guessing this is a bug since there should not be any Exchange services that need to be stopped on a computer where I'm just trying to use the EMC tool to manage Exchange.
Next, is where when I open EMC I get "The World Wide Web Publishing Service (W3SVC) isn't running on any Exchange servers in the site. If you want to connect to Remote PowerShell, this service must be running. Make sure that the W3SVC is running on
at least one Exchange server." From all the reading I am pretty sure that this is due to the Exchange servers being on one version and EMC I'm trying to use is another version.
This is the version our Exchange Servers are on:
ProductVersion   FileVersion      FileName
14.02.0375.000   14.02.0375.000   C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V14\bin\ExSetup.exe
Which finally brings me to the part where no matter what SP I install to run EMC it always shows:
ProductVersion   FileVersion      FileName
14.01.0218.015   14.01.0218.015   C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V14\bin\ExSetup.exe
I've tried SP2, and even SP3 hopeing that an even newer version would let me connect to Exchange, but no matter what it always shows the 14.01 version above.
I've also tried installing "Exchange2010-KB2874216-x64-en" which should be the same version we are on (Update Rollup 7 for Exchange Server 2010 Service Pack 2), but get a Windows Installer Error stating, "The upgrade patch cannot be installed
by the Windows Installer service because the program to be upgraded may be missing, or the upgrade patch may update a different version of the program." This Error probably makes sense if no matter what I do I'm stuck with a version prior to SP2.
Any ideas?

Hi,
From your description, I would like to clarify the following things:
1. Make sure the World Wide Web Publishing Service is running in Exchange server.
2. Ensure that the account you use to open EMC is a member of Organization Management role group.
3. Based on my knowledge, the error "The upgrade patch cannot be installed by the Windows Installer service because the program to be upgraded may be missing, or the upgrade patch may update a different version of the program." occurs if you install
the RU for a different SP. Please re-download the Service Pack 2 and install it on the remote computer since it hasn't been installed successfully from the above information.
What's more, here is a similar thread for your reference.

MacBook showing up as offline in iCloud Find My iPhone

As the title says! I have iCloud turned on in settings and Find My Mac selected, and it shows up as offline. I'm connected to the internet and using it to check iCloud right now!

I fixed this by turning it off and then on again.
Go into your System Preferences, click on iCloud, and when that window comes up, scroll to the bottom to Find My Mac. Click the checkbox to enable.
If it is already checked, uncheck, confirm your password, then check it on again.
Hope this helps!

Always Show Selection

I want my TOC to always highlight the topic that is currently
displaying whether that topic was accessed directly from the TOC or
not.
I have checked the 'Always show selection ' box in Single
Source Layouts/Properties/Advanced/TOC Styles but it isn't working.
I do have a vague memory of needing to set something else as
well but I can't remember what it is.
Does anyone know?

Hi Authorgirl
Yes, you need to edit the Window properties and enable the
feature labeled "Auto synchronize". I think it's located in the
lower left area labeled "Tripane options". I don't have RoboHelp
available at the moment and am drawing from pure memory.
Cheers... Rick

The date on ichat is always on 6/6/10 8:41, it's not update

Hi, my ichat box is always show date and time the same
it's always on 6/6/10 8:41
All the time
it should tell the real date
what's the problem? and How to solve it? i want it save the real date and time
Help..............
Thanks

Hi,
So System Preferences > Data& Time shows the correct info.
iChat is still showing the "Wrong" date.
You Spec info says you are using 10.5.8
In that case are you closing the last Chat you have before Quitting iChat and in iChat > Preferences > Messages do you have "Remember Open Chats across Launch" set ?
If you are Snow Leopard and iChat 5 the behaviour is different and if Last Chat is set you will constantly get the Last chat you had showing the date it started.
