Missing IChat features and compatibility

I have installed Leopard and went right to iChat. It turns out that some of the much anticipated features not only announced, but highlighted and DEMO'd by Steve Jobs at the Leopard preview are absent. (both the "Conan O'Brian talking lips effect" and the "star wars hologram" effect). Any chance for a "catch up" release if they weren't ready for prime time? No mention, no apology anywhere.
I am also very upset about the bait and swtch tactic with the new features. There was no mention in the preview info about many of the features ONLY working on Intel chip Macs. My G5 desktop PowerMac cannot do many of the new things. I am still annoyed about buying an expensive and very rapidly obsolete computer 2 months before the Intel crossover announcement. I think this behavior was calculated, and I am very angry about this. Tough words from a mac user since 1983, even through the bad System 7 days.
Shame on you Apple! Any word on redress, other releases, or solutions?

I have a Intel C2D MacBook, but I have a similar 'missing feature' problem.
The interesting 3D affect in the screenshots of iChat show the theater affect existing in a 3D space, slightly receding.
This isn't the effect I get in reality however, which is just a simple full video chat window presentation of the photos.
I assume that this is because I have a Intel GMA950 video card, and not a more powerful model.
But, why is this not mentioned anywhere in doco?

After updating to the latest version of Firefox on my Mac there is no progress bar for the page load. I really miss this feature and can't seem to find a way to obtain it.

The page load progress bar that was on the lower right of the window is no longer there. After updating to the latest version of Firefox on my Mac there is no progress bar for the page load. I really miss this feature and can't seem to find a way to obtain it. The tab has a circular progress wheel but this is useless for determining a stuck or slow loading page.
PLEASE NOTE: I am typing this in from a Windows based work computer but am asking about my Apple MacBook Pro that i use at home.

Firefox 4 saves the previous session automatically, so there is no longer need for the dialog asking if you want to save the current session. 
You can use "Firefox > History > Restore Previous Session" to get the previous session at any time. 
There is also a "Restore Previous Session" button on the default about:home Home page. 
Another possibility is to use:

Safari and iChat features missing?

I am wondering if in Tiger Safari and iChat had the following features removed?
Safari, version 2.0.2: When I type an address I need to include the .com whereas I used to be able to type something like google and the browser would add the .com. Now, before I get the lecture about cache etc. I know all about caches. This is not about that. You used to be able to just type the name of the site and it would pull up—if it were a dot com. I have checked this on another machine running Panther and it still works there.
iChat, version 3.1: There is no login sound unless the application is open. In other words, I have the icon in the menu so I can be available, or not, easily. Previously, I would log in (from the menu) and get two sounds letting me know it was active. One for Bonjour and one for the Buddy List. Now, only if I have the application open (iChat not just being available in the menu) will I get the sounds thus defeating the purpose of the sounds the way I have it set up—I can see that it is active and do not need to hear it. I have tried trashing the iChat preferences and that did not help.
Edit: Matter of fact I do not think I get the sounds for people becoming active or not now that I think of it.
I have run diagnostics, Disk Utility, cron maintenance, cleared caches, erased History. Additional ideas are appreciated.

Still works. You don't need to type ".com"

How to remove missing features and webparts?

I've moved and upgraded a 2007 teampoint site to my Enterprise SharePoint 2010 site. The site is up and running but I've got this nagging error about a missing webpart and a missing feature.
The features that were not compatable were not used so what SharePoint 2010 would allow me to remove has been removed. Now I have this error message that still needs to be dealt with.
[MissingFeature] Database [WSS_Content_2007] has reference(s) to a missing feature: Id = [75a0fea7-cd50-401e-af0e-782f3662a299]. The feature with Id 75a0fea7-cd50-401e-af0e-782f3662a299 is referenced in the database [WSS_Content_2007], but is not installed
on the current farm. The missing feature may cause upgrade to fail. Please install any solution which contains the feature and restart upgrade if necessary.
[MissingWebPart] WebPart class [768ec641-8c6a-1cc6-6465-185094919a93] is referenced [1] times in the database [WSS_Content_2007], but is not installed on the current farm. Please install any feature/solution which contains this web part. One or more web parts
are referenced in the database [WSS_Content_2007], but are not installed on the current farm. Please install any feature or solution which contains these web parts.
So, I'd like to remove the references from the database for the feature and webpart mentioned in the error. I can't seem to spot how to do that with stsadm, it reports that the feature is not installed which leads me to conclude that I just need to remove
the reference from the db. Is there a SharePoint way to do this or am I destined to remove it manually from the db myself?

Missing features and bugs in 2.2 update...

Missing features and bugs in 2.2 update...
Here is my shortlist:
1. Copy/Cut and paste - sadly still missing...
2. Landscape view for keyboard - SMS and Email - still missing...!
3. AM/PM indicator missing from "unlock" screen (in 12 hour clock) - BUG
... What's wrong with Apple these days - all of these issues (listed above) could have been easily implemented in version 2.2 and were frequently requested by all iPhone users since version 1.0 and yet Apple have ignored all of them...

These features may or may not be that difficult to include, but what made you "fork out huge amounts to pay for a 'top of the range' iPhone" in the first place?
As already provided, Apple has what is called their own "allocation of resources and prioritization", and if what is included doesn't meet your needs or wants, you should not have purchased an iPhone in the first place, or continue to keep using the iPhone if Apple doesn't include the features you need or want in a time table that meets your expectations, since there are plenty of cheap $100 phones that meet your needs or wants, you have a wide range of other phones to choose from which are less expensive, so that is exactly what you should do. No point in continuing to use a device that does not meet your needs or wants. Use one of the many less expensive devices you have to choose from that meets your needs or wants and move on.

SharePoint stp template is missing Language, Version and Feature ID.

I uploaded a new template(.stp file) to List Template gallery.
But it is not showing Language, version and Feature ID.
As a result, I am not able to create a new library using the template.
Any idea how to fix this?

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to SharePoint stp template missed Language, Version and Feature ID.
Firstly, please check whether you create list template correctly.
Secondly, please make sure you don’t edit the template.
Finnaly, please use PowerShell to enable the 'ParserEnabled' property for the web site.

InDesign CC 2014 tryout has only some new features and some others are old: strangest thing ever.

Hi everyone, I have installed a tryout on InDesign CC 2014 today to work on epubs. The app is having all sort of problems. It crashed while making packages. I resetted the prefs and this was fixed.
But the most annoying and strange things are the new features: some are showing (like the export fixed layout epub option), others are not (interactivity menu is exactly the old one, bookmarks options in export panel are not showing).
I had uninstalled it and installed again. It is still not working. I work on an iMac with sys 10.9.5 (Yosemite).
I need to keep the old version running for compatibility issues. I can't delete it.
I am stuck: any suggestion will be greatly appreciated.

For example: I have the "export fixed layout epub" (which I do not have in InDesign CC) , but I do not have the bookmarks option in the export panel. I still see SWF preview, but not the epub interactivity menu under -> view -> interactivity. To be more precise: I am following a Lynda.com course about epub: I'm not guessing what to look for or what button to click. I have to follow very careful instruction step-by-step that I can't follow because the program miss some parts.
I attach an image to better explain. It's in italian, but if you just count the options you will see that one is missing: the bookmark (and last) one.

IChat opens and closes repeatedly

I've seen this come up in discussions a few times but without answers.
iChat opens and closes repeated then tells me I've logged in too many times and to try again later. BUT... this only happens on one particular Airport connection. Everywhere else is fine. Is it the wireless router that is the problem... some compatibility issue? Is that the issue for the other people getting this problem too, perhaps?
Any ideas how to fix this?

Hi,
From that (9C7010) I can see that you have done the Time Machine and Airport Update.
I presume this updates the specs for the Airport Card as well as adjusting the Airport Devices themselves to Apple's version of the latest 802.11n draft spec.
I would have then said that it was effecting the connection presumably as this is now out of step with the firmware on the Netgear, but you say other Internet features work.
First I would delete the com.apple.iChat.AIM.plist from Users/(your account)/Library/Preferences
Then I would see if this Netgear is set to Respond to Internet Pings and has the Block Port Scan and DOS (or SPI) turned Off.
As test I would see if the N spec can be turned off in the Netgear and use the G only.

I Cannot Add Buddies in iChat 4 and 5 - How do I fix this ?

Disclaimer: Apple does not necessarily endorse any suggestions, solutions, or third-party software products that may be mentioned in the topic below. Apple encourages you to first seek a solution at Apple Support. The following links are provided as is, with no guarantee of the effectiveness or reliability of the information. Apple does not guarantee that these links will be maintained or functional at any given time. Use the information below at your own discretion.
I Cannot Add Buddies in iChat 4 and 5
Many people are reporting that they cannot add Buddies to either iChat 4 or iChat 5.
The Symptoms are that the Buddy appears in the Buddy List and then does the "Brightening/Fading" cycle but fails to be anywhere in the list including Off Line Buddies.
To Show Off Line Buddies, highlight the Buddy list to bring to the "front".
Then go to the View Menu and Enable Show Off Line Buddies.
(there is also an Option to display these in a separate Group).
There can be many causes and I will attempt to deal with then in the order that they are most likely.
A) The Contact is already in the Address Book.
When Adding a Buddy via the use of the + Sign at the Bottom of the Buddy List (Then Add Buddy) or invoking it from the Buddies menu a drop down appears to slide down out of the Buddy List Header area
In this slide out/drop down, you get the chance to Add the Screen Name and then the First Name Last Name details of the Buddy.
iChat checks the Address Book and if the First Name, Last Name items do not match any contact in the Address Book already then the Buddy will be added to the Buddy list.
As the Address Book does not allow two contacts to have the same name they will not be added to the iChat Buddy List if the name exists already.
In iChat 3 and earlier there was an Error Message that popped up saying there was Feedbag Error
See here for More
Note: AIM Protocols call Lists "Feedbags". Contents (Buddies) are "Food" and of course Food is kept in Feedbags.
The Address Book is one Feedbag in this case and the Screen Name (only) Buddy List held on the AIM Server is the other.
The Software puts the two together for Display purposes
The Fix.
Either:
1) Add them as Screen Name only
2) Use the Arrow head at the end of the Last Name line to open the Address Book and pick the Contact.
3) Open the Address Book and Edit their Card to Add the Screen Name, then drag them from the Name column to the iChat Buddy List.
4) During any type of Chat use the item in the Buddies Menu to Add the person (it will display their Screen Name in Dark text if not in the Buddy List - Then item 2 can also be used)
B) Parental Controls
There are similar Symptoms if the Mac User Account is subject to Parental Controls.
If the Mac User Account on the computer is not an Admin account it is a Standard or Managed one
A Managed one has Parental Controls Enabled.
There is a Tab for Mail and iChat.
If it is turned on for iChat then all buddies are Blocked initially (in iChat 4 Jabber and Bonjour Buddy List cannot be used.)
Adding AIM valid Screen Names (AIM, Those with either @mac.com or @me.com endings) to the allow List Unblocks those Buddies and they will show in the Buddy List as On or Off line
The Fix.
In this case if you are the Managed account you have to get the Admin account to add the Buddy to the Buddy allowed list in Parental Controls.
Exception
There is a very large exception.
Due to the fact that the way Parental Controls blocks names until they appear in the Allow List there can be a problem if testing the same iChat Details in a Test Account.
Lets say you are the Admin User on the Mac.
You set up a second Mac User Account called Test.
In this you set up iChat with the same details (Screen name) you use in your Main Mac User Account.
You then test Parental Controls by turning it On and setting the iChat Limit option.
Then you add to the allow List one or two AIM valid names.
You check iChat and find they are the only Buddies that show up.
It works, so you return to your main Mac User Account and discover that most of your Buddies are missing.
On checking the iChat Menu > Preferences > Accounts > Security Tab you find the Allow Specific People option is Enabled and the list only includes those Buddies you set in Parental Controls.
Choosing allow All does not seem to bring back the Buddies even if you Log out of the Test Mac User Account.
The Fix Here
Is to Disable all the Parental Control Settings again (Remove names from any list) before Logging out of the Test Mac User Account.
The cause is partly to do with the Setting in iChat > Preferences > General Section that reads "When I quit iChat, Set the Status to Off Line" which is not the default - leaving a partial login for Off Line Messaging. As a consequence your Buddy List is constantly being told to block certain Screen Names.
A Variation on this is if you have Two Log-ins of your Screen Name from either different apps or computers.
Altering the Buddy List in one effects the other login. The computer or app that was logged in first take precedence.
C) Adding Buddies as the wrong type (In Buddy List - But always Off Line)
This applies more to iChat 4 than it does to iChat 5
At the Add Buddy Screen/Slide in iChat 4 you have to choose if the Buddy is an AIM, @mac. or MobileMe name in a drop down.
The software shows the @mac.com or @me.com endings in grey in the Screen Name text field and adds this for you.
This can lead to Buddies being added as the wrong type as in ralphjohnsr added as [email protected] etc.
It can also lead to people being added with 2 @ symbols in the Screen Name ([email protected]@mac.com) and iChat not always telling you this is not allowed.
In both iChat 4 and 5, as Jabber IDs/Screen Names also look like Email Addresses, we have to also consider whether AIM names have been added to a Jabber List or Jabber Names added to AIM valid Lists.
D) Plain old Typos
Here I am talking about misreading someone's Screen Name and typing that in (Such as receiving and email with a Screen Name in it and typing the letter O for 0 (zero).)
And of course, just plain typing mistakes.
The Fix for C) and D)
The Buddy in this case will be in the Buddy List but will always be Off line
Highlight the Buddy with one click.
Do a Get Info (Apple()/Command(⌘) key and I key together) and their Info card will show up.
Correct as Required.

Some thoughts.
To Show Off Line Buddies, highlight the Buddy list to bring to the "front".
Then go to the {color:red}Show Menu{color} and Enable Show Off Line Buddies.
(there is also an Option to display these in a separate Group).
Do you mean under the {color:green}View{color} menu where I see Show Offline Buddies? (both iChat 4.0.8 and 5.0.3)
A)… In the {color:red}slide out that appears from the top{color} of the Buddy list you get the chance to Add the Screen Name and then the First Name Last Name details of the Buddy.
I kept looking for a button for the "slide out" at the top of the Buddy list. Found out it's the dialog box that appears when you click "+" (Add a new buddy…) at the bottom of the list. Yes, I can act like a beginner too
(Slide out to me sounds like a sideways slide out, versus a Pop Up or Pop Down Dialog box).
As the Address Book does not allow two contacts to have the same name they will not be added to the iChat Buddy List {color:green}if the name already exists.{color}
The Address Book i one Feedbag in this case
The Address Book {color:green}is{color} one Feedbag in this case
B) Adding AIM valid Screen Names (AIM, Those with either @mac.com or @me.com endings) to the allow List Unblocks those Buddies and they will show in the Buddy List as On {color:red}of{color} Off line
… as On {color:green}or{color} Off line
*The Fix.
Exception*
{color:red}The{color} you add to the allow {color:red}List{color} one or two AIM valid names.
{color:green}Then{color} you add to the allow one or two AIM valid names.
C)
At the Add Buddy Screen/Slide in {color:red}ichat{color} 4
At the Add Buddy Screen/Slide in {color:green}iChat 4{color}
In both iChat 4 and 5 as Jabber IDs/Screen Names also look like Email Addresses we have to also consider

Is the iPhone 5 in UAE missing any features?

Hi guys,
As far as anyone of you know is the iPhone 5 (and/or iOS in general) missing any features if bought from the UAE??
Because as I recall at some point the iPhone 4 or 4S didn't offer FaceTime in UAE, so that's why I am asking!!
Thank you

FaceTime is not available on iPhones purchased in the UAE. It doesn't matter where you activate it or what version of the software you update it to. It can't be added to those phones. Ever. Sorry.

When you download iTunes material, does iTunes record the IP used where it is being downloaded to? I am trying to track a lost/missing IPOD Touch and want to know if they have that data.

When you download iTunes material, does iTunes record the IP used where it is being downloaded to? I am trying to track a lost/missing IPOD Touch and want to know if they have that data. It was left on a small street and someone has found it and has been hacking into my account by resetting my password. They took about 41+ dollars from my account. I am hoping the IP it was connecting with to download to it was tracked and that I can get that information to figure out where it is located.

No. From the second link below.
"Apple does not have a process to track or flag lost or stolen product
- If you previously turned on the FIndMyiPod feature and location service is on, and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud, sign in, and go to FindMyiPhone. It the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
- Report to police and change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod.
- Apple will not help

After a recent mac update, my ichat, mail and preview applications have been disabled! How do i fix it?!

My new laptop has been asking for an update so i went on with it.. now i cant see my ichat, mail and preview icons on my dock. I looked for it and when i tried to open it, it says it's been diabled. What happened?! How can i get it back?! HELP please

Hi,
This Users Tip was written to Enable the Reinstall of iChat.
AS it is the app itself rather than the support parts that is missing you should be able to do the "Easy Way" for that app.
Insert the Install Disk.
Drag window large enough to see the Option Installs Folder
Open that and then Launch the Optional installs.mpkg.
Select iChat and select Continue to Install.
This will install iChat at the Install Disk Level.
As iChat gets up dated with certain OS Updates you will need to Download and run the Combo Version of the last OS Update you did.
Download the .dmg.
Expand and launch Installer.
Run it over the top of what you have.
The Users Tip also tells you how to use Pacifist to Open the Install Disk and select various bits.
Obviously this can be used for the other apps you are Missing.
These too, will need you to "Run the Combo" afterwards.

Missing templates (Pages and Keynote)

Could anyone please help answer if templates were removed and are not included in the most recent versions of Pages 5.1 and Keynote 6.1?
Specifically:
1) Did Pages 5.0 have a template for "Grove Surfboards?"
2) Did Keynote 6.0 have a template for a presentation titled, "The History of Pigments?"
I recently upgraded from Pages 4.3 to 5.1 and Keynote 5.3 to 6.1, and unfortunately, I am worried that I missed out on the above creative templates.
Any helpy clarifying would be much appreciated.
Thank you,
Kim

Apple has helped you to “miss out.” Pages v5+ has dropped several templates from your Pages v4.3 experience, due primarily to about 100+ missing features and functionality in the application that adversely affect those former templates.
Recommendation. Pages ’09 v4.3 remains in /Applications/iWork folder. Use it to great productivity until Apple restores missing functionality to Pages v5+.

OBIEE UI Interface is missing prompt functionality and Column Selector

Hi,
OBIEE UI Interface is missing prompt functionality and Column Selector in Answers when creating a report. This problem occurs on all the reports. Also the problem occurs in firefox too. Could you please suggest me any suggestion to overcome this issue.
Thanks and Regards

May sound stupid, but do you have the Privileges to add these things to a report? These features can be turned on/off from the Privilege Administration Screen, for a group or user. Have a look.
Cheers,
A.

Missing update features?

I got the newest version of Lightroom (5.7.1 (assured by image 1)) after reading about the new features (HDR and Panorama merge) in the update window (shown in image 3).
BUT when clicking "Search for updates" I still get the same window (image 3) that originaly made me update. And as one can see, in image 2, there is just no "Merge" - option at all.
I'm looking forward to your solution.

Thanks a lot!
