Online buddies not showing up in buddy list

so, for some reason, i only have one "buddy" that will show up on my list as online. this is not a coincidence....for some reason the rest of my buddies who are online are not showing up in the ichat column.

So you changed the Quicktime setting
And the Port Change to 443 and had no luck.
You repeated these steps in a new Mac User Account ?
And got the same result with the same Buddy List ?
IF you have no other computer or application using the same Buddy List then the problem is with the AIM servers.
In iChat > Preferences > General Section there is a choice to "When I Quit iChat, Setmy Status to Offline" Are you using this option checked or Unchecked ?
If Unchecked can you check it and Quit iChat.
When you start up iChat again have things changed ?
This will be the limit of what you can do on the Mac.
Try rebooting your modem (If you have the Log on details for the ISP just in case).

  • Online buddies not showing as online

    A while back my ichat would show online buddies, but could not connect with them. Now, even buddies that I know are online and available show up as offline. How can I fix? I've tried trashing the cache and preferences, and changed the AIM port to 443. nada.

    Hi,
    If the setting on one or other to the computers does not allow the other she will not show up even when chatting.
    If you do not have someone in your Buddy list you can use the File Menu > New chat to start a Text Chat.
    To see if the Screen Name is in the Buddy List at all go to the View Menu and select Show Off Line Buddies (If there are not many buddies then Show them as a separate group).
    If your Daughter's real name shows up (As they have her in their Address Book) mouse over her name and check the spelling of the Screen Name.
    (Use the Apple Key (CMD) and I to alter if required)
    IF her scree Name shows up on it's own then checking the Spelling is easy.
    Notes:
    ralphjohnsr
    [email protected] and
    [email protected] are three Different Buddies and only one will work.
    This counts as a Misspelling. The AIM Servers only allow Valid names they don't tell you whether the name exists so it is possible to enter all three of the above in a Buddy List but only one will show as On-line.
    As I said before this can be complicated by the Allow and Block setting at either computer.
    Allow All is a Better Test.
    Second Level Things.
    Parental Controls.
    IF the Mac User Account on the Buddy has Parental Controls Enabled then they have to Add your Daughter's Screen Name to the iChat Settings as well.
    A Complication on this is if you have a test Mac User Account and try iChat there with the regular iChat Screen Name then set Parental Controls.
    This first stage blocks All Buddies from All Buddy Lists (entered in iChat).
    Buddies are Unblocked as they are Added to the Allow List in Parental Controls.
    If you only test with a Few Buddies returning to your Regular Mac User Account and iChat there you will find the Security Settings of iChat have changed to Block Specific People and everyone who was not allowed in the Parental Controls test will be Blocked.
    If you find that the Security Settings are set to Allow All and the Buddy is not Blocked and your daughter is not using Parental Controls and has never had her iChat Name used in another Mac User Account (i.e Nothing I have said applies) then try deleting com.apple.ichat.AIM.plist on both Macs and then restart iChat This recreates the .plist as iChat uses Defaults and the Keychain info to Log In again afresh.

  • Buddies not showing in list when logged into single account & logged out of others

    BUG
    I have multiple iChat accounts (AOL, ME.com, Mac.com, Jabber).  When I change the default behavior to log all accounts in at the same time with the same message (basically setting all but one acocunt to "offline") my buddies all disappear.  It appears there are now separate buddy lists for each account - but now way to populate those lists from the other accounts (no ability to import/cut-paste). 
    Often I use my Me.com account for work related issues and only logon to AIM when I am available for distractions/Family/etc.  Having to hand enter a large list of potential buddies across mutiple accounts seems unreasonable and was not an issue under previous iChat versions.

    Hi,
    There is a way to "Transfer" Buddies Wholesale to a new Buddy list  (my best to 292 Buddies)
    Option (Preparation)
    In the Address Book create Group of those Buddies you want in the new List.
    Action (the Deed)
    Highlight the Buddies/Contacts that you want to move
    If you are not using the Option use the CMD and Click method to highlight many but leave others.
    Now Drag the highlighted list to the New Buddy List.
    Tidy up by dragging those with Screen Names only from one list to the other.
    Re-organzie in to Groups you want/need.
    NOTE.
    This can be done from AIM Logins names (AIM, @mac.com and MobileMe) to other AIM Login Buddy lists
    It can also be done between Jabber and GoogleTalk lists (or Jabber to Jabber as GoogleTalk is a Jabber server)
    Although both type of Buddy List can have Screen Names that look like emails - so therefore have the same Format- which causes them to look like they will be Buddies, they will always appear Off line in the New list and you will not be able to Contact them.
    Optional Method
    Highlight (Using CMN Click if required) the Buddies you want to move and just drag from one list to the other.
    Overall note.
    When you drag they will be put in the Group that you happen to be hovering over when you let go. (place them in the new list
    You may want to Add a new Group first then drag them into the Right groups afterwards (you are likely to have to do the moves anyway)

  • WMA Files do not show in my library list

    When I right click on my music and send to my ipod it transfer over but it does not show on my music list. It show under contents folder as "other" for disc space and does not show up on my music list. HELP

    Faith, Are they unprotected WMA files? (They will be unprotected if you ripped them from CD using Windows Media Player, but they will be protected if you bought them from an online store with the "Plays For Sure" logo, such as musicmatch.com).
    Assuming they are unprotected, add them to your iTunes library. iTunes does not add them directly, but rather creates a new file in your preferred import format (mp3 or AAC). Do one file at first, and make sure it works as you wish before you add whole bunches.
    If they are protected, life is more complicated. Use WMP to burn them to audio CD. Then import from the audio CD into iTunes.

  • Items on ipod that do not show up on Device list, want to remove them

    A pod cast and a video I downloaded from itunes and copied to my ipod are on my ipod but when I connect the ipod they do not show up on the lists of items on the device. I can see and play them on the ipod, but cannot find them on the list of items on the ipod when I connect to itunes...
    I want to remove them and can't
    baffled....

    They should be able to help you. You must have the iPod set to manually managed. Podcasts generally work best when set to auto-sync.
    To find these files it is easiest to create a smart playlist on the iPod itself with the right rules to find the files while it is set to manually manage. To delete files through a smart playlist you will need to hold the "Alt" key on the keyboard then hit the Delete key. Atl/Delete is for Mac but may be a combination of Delete and Shift, Control, or Windows key on Windows PCs.

  • Command is not showing in to the list on pressing menu button on the device

    Hi Everyone,
    I have developed a midlet in which I have designed buttons or links using Custom Items. Command associated with the custom item is not showing in to the list on pressing menu button on the device 8300 Curve.
    For example - My login screen have SUBMIT and RESET custom items. I have designed them to be appear like links [no matter how I design them]. I have also added a command and listener to it like as below:
    CMD_SUBMIT = new Command(text, Command.ITEM, 1);
    setDefaultCommand(CMD_SUBMIT);
    setItemCommandListener(this);
    On running the midlet, my login screen appears. But when I travarse to the SUBMIT item, and press the menu button, my command doesnt appear in the list of commands. It shows only the Close command. I am not getting why this is happening.
    Please do me a favour and help me to sort out this. On other phones like 8520 curve the command is appearing in to the list when I press the menu button.
    Regards

    Is there any way to sort out this issue? I am not getting the cause
    behind this, and I am observing this only on 8300 Curve. On most of
    there phones [though not tested on every one] it is working as expected.
    Please guide me to proceed further. I am desperately waiting for the
    response. Regards.

  • Bonjour printer not showing up in Printer List

    I am having trouble adding a bonjour printer (HP PSC 1610). The printer is not showing up in the list of printers under System Preferences > Print & Fax. I was able to add the printer by clicking on the "+" sign. It found the bonjour printer and I clicked "Add." Everything seemed fine, but the printer is not showing up in the list of available printers.
    When I'm in Printer Setup Utility, the Printer shows up when I click View > Show Printer List. I just can't select it when I'm in an application and trying to print.
    I can print to the printer from my G5 which still has OS 10.3.9.
    MacBook Pro 1.83   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    I think the reason you haven't got responses is that no one has experience with that. Here are some generic troubleshooting steps to try, one at a time:
    Repair permissions (Disk Utility).
    Delete Print Prefs - search for (File>Find) files that start with com.apple.print and delete them all and reboot.
    Reset Printing System (new in Tiger) - In Printer Setup, click this menu item found just above Quit Printer Setup.
    If there is a downloadable Combination Updater from Apple, use it to re-Update OS X.
    Try Printer Setup Repair from www.fixamac.net.
    Use a Disk Utility like Disk Warrior to repair the HD.

  • In iphone 4 mobile me calander not showing all events in list view

  • Ipod Not Showing Up In The List In Itunes

    Hey, ive had problems with my ipod lately. basically when ever i plug my ipod into my computer, it appears in mycomputer and itunes also opens. i have run the diagnostic in the help menu in itunes and it is detecting my ipod HOWEVER it will not show up in the list on the right hand side!!!! I have tried all the things suggested by apple such as reinstalling and many other things like ending the process etc. no luck.. plz help!

    Have you tried simply resetting hte ipod while it's connected to the PC?
    If that doesn't help, here is an article with a long list of other stuff to investigate.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1369
    You need to expand each link and read all the stuff. For example, under
    "Connect iPod to a high-powered USB port"
    the 4th line down says
    +If the issue persists, try disconnecting other USB devices from the computer such as printers, cameras, scanners, external hard drives, and USB hubs to determine if there is a conflict in the USB chain.+
    That is a step you wouldn't want to skip, as it can really narrow things down.

  • Premiere Pro CC not showing up in my list of apps in creative cloud.

    I have purchased a 1 year 1 app membership for Premiere Pro CC and when I go to download it, it takes me directly to Creative Cloud.  Premiere does not show up in the list of apps for some reason.  Any solutions?

    Hi Sandeep,
    I just signed up for a 30 day trial and I'm really excited to use the software for movie editing, however I just saw this post after I was trying to use Premiere Pro and sadly I don't have a machine with 64 Bit OS. I was just seeing if there is any way I can cancel my free trial and then start it back up after I get a new computer. I'm really excited about using Premier Pro but want to make sure I can try it out with a film project before purchasing and I don't know how long it will take to get a new computer.
    thanks!
