My privacy level is set to "allow anyone", however I get a privacy issue when trying to chat.

I have iChat 4.0.9 and have used it many times to chat with a certain individual for work. Recently, after a general software update, I get a message saying "Your privacy preferences are set so they prevent you from communicating with this person." When I go to preferances > account > Security, my privacy level is "allow anyone". What could be causing the error? Why does chat think that this person is blocked when they are not?

Hi,
If the other person is Invisible or they have Blocked you (Or Not Allowed you) then you may also get this message.
From the sounds of your "Fix" it was about how your Buddy was "Flagged" at the AIM Servers.
If you enabled Parental Controls on the Mac User Account you are using (Or  tested another Mac User Account using the same iChat info you can create this "Flagging" issue.
It would be interesting to know if setting it back to Allow All also works.

  • Is anyone else having Config error 16 issue when trying to start PSE 12 or Premier Elements after Mac upgrade to Yosemite 10.10 on iMac

    Is anyone else having Config error 16 issue when trying to start PSE 12 or Premier Elements 12 after the Mac upgrade to OS X Yosemite 10.10 on iMac. I have had a number of issues with software and things after upgrading to OS X Yosemite 10.10 and even 10.10.1.  I have uninstalled and reinstalled both PSE 12 and Premier Elements 12 a number of times and everything goes fine until its ready to launch and then you get an error message. Numerous uninstalled and reinstalls don't removing the problem.  Strangely enough  PSE 11 still appears to boot up and I never owned Premier Elements 11 so I don't know if it will start. I thought with Apple dropping its Apeture software and greater integration of iPhoto and Apeture files into Lightroom 5.7 all would be harmonious between these two players. Im not sure where Adobe wants us to go it recently removed the plugin to allow you to update files from LR to Adobe Revel, whats up with that. I now own two version of Adobe software that no longer work with my Mac and now way of uploading pictures from Lightroom to Revel. Needless to say I am pretty reluctant to sign on to a subscription of Creative Cloud with long term financial obligations when I can't even get my current Adobe software to work independently much less integrate with Lightroom. Frustrated with it all!

    Get rid of 'put disks to sleep when possible' and you may see a dramatic improvement (not necessarily a cure).
    That specific problem is a multiple-Processor (including graphics processor) problem, where one of the processors lost track of whether it should be responding to interrupts. You may have a Hardware problem.

  • I get an error message when trying to sign into the support community with another Apple id. On the pick a username screen I get "an account utilizing this address already exists...." despite trying a few usernames. Anyone know how I can resolve this?

    I get an error message when trying to sign into the support community with another Apple id. On the <pick a username> screen I get "an account utilizing this address already exists.Only one account per email address is allowed on the Apple Support Communities" despite trying a few usernames. Anyone know how I can resolve this?

    This problem has been driving me demented. The instructions that Ivan gives have partially worked for me. By following his link
    "How to find out if you have multiple Apple IDs" I was able to identify that yes I did have two apple accounts using the same e mail address. One was very old that I used to use for the forum boards and one is my much more recent ID that I use for everything these days. So I changed the e mail address for the old account which is associated with these discussion boards and that's the account that I am now posting this from. However even though the two accounts now have different e mail addresses when I try to log onto the boards with my more recent main apple ID I still get all the same errors as described at the start of this thread by rodgers_j. And of course that's the one I want to use so that I only have one itunes account for everything.
    So if anyone has any more hints I'd be very grateful.

    Is this coming from a link, or from something you are trying to type in the address bar?
    Try replacing the "html" at the start with "http",
    so if you have html://somesite.edu,
    change it to http://somesite.edu.

    It's not viruses I was talking about - it was session hijacking and electronic evesdropping. And as far as a browser taking up space....seriously? We're talking MBs here.....
    I use Firefox exclusively, because frankly, I don't like Safari any more than I like IE.....(actually, I really hate IE - despite its being around for forever, it is still not a browser that does much for me).
    But, to each his own. That's not really the point I was making. It's just that we have some very non tech-savvy folks asking questions here, and we need to make sure that the advice we are giving out is not going to increase their risks in any way. I was just trying to be mindful of making sure that we do inform to the best degree possible....
    No offense intended. Hopefully, none taken!
