Only some buddy icons showing

One of my users has only a couple of his buddy icons showing up in iChat. The rest of us show as a generic user. View buddy icons is turned on. Thoughts?

Hi,
Providing the Buddies have Buddy Pics themselves then his iChat should be seeing them.
If he has the AIM Screen name and has added "Real Name" in iChat then he will have an Address Book entry for that person.
The Address Book will this tend to display the Buddy icon/pic from iChat (if there was/is one).
In iChat if you highlight a Buddy then do a Get Info (CMD and i Keys together) you do get an option about which pic you can use.
The Default is the one from the iChat servers,with the one from the Address Book being "next" although you can also chose one and "Set" it permanently.
I run an app called Little Snitch which will tell you which ports and IP address an App will try to connect to.
As well as the Login server iChat connects to a Buddy pic server.
Any change this is being blocked ?

How can I display all my e-mails. Only some of them show up now...thanks to an apple representative in the apple store

How can I display all my e-mails on all my Apple products? Only some of them show up now...thanks to an apple representative in the apple store. Also, he put my oldest emails in POP (???)

I have 2 apple tvs. One in the bedroom, one in the living room. When I try to airplay from my iPad, only the bedroom icon shows up. How do I add the living room?

Firstly, go to http://iforgot.apple.com and sign in with the ID you use for iCloud. A new password will be sent to your associated email address.
If that doesn't work, for example because it's going to an address you can't access, then you will have to contact Support. Go to https://expresslane.apple.com ; click 'See all products and services' at the bottom of the page. In the next page click 'More Products and Services, then 'Apple ID'. In the next page select 'Other Apple ID Topics' then 'Lost or forgotten Apple ID password' and click 'Continue'.

Only SOME iTunes movies showing on iTV

So, I converted movies to MPG4 and MOV and dropped them into itunes. They all have the SAME settings but only SOME decide to show on apple tv.
What could be the problem?
This is REALLY driving me nuts!

Welcome to the  Discussion Forums.
You will need to give us some more information about your workflow in converting these movies, there are a few reasons movies will mot play, including size and datarate. Both MOV and MPEG4 are containers which can contain various compression types within them, without knowing the type of compression used it's difficult to suggest a reason for your issues.

Only sone picture icons show previews in Finder

I think it's only since Thursday's most recent security update, but when I open a folder containing pictures, only some of the thumbnails show previews. Others just show a generic thumbnail with the file type instead of a preview (jpeg, Raw, etc.). Some folders show all previews, some show some, and others show none. I've made sure that "show icon preview" is checked. Thanks... chas

Select one of the files that isn't showing a thumbnail. Press Command-I to bring up an Info Window. Click in the icon in the upper left corner of the Info Window. It should show a little focus ring hallow around it. Press the Delete button. Does the thumbnail appear in the Finder window? What about in the Preview section of the Info Window?
If it works, you can select all the files that are not showing thumbnails and press Command-Control-I which will bring up a single (Summary) Info Window for the entire selection. Click on the icon in the upper left corner of the Info Window and press Delete.

Only some LR adjustments shows up in PS

Very annoying problem I have never had before:
When I use send an image from LR to PS using "Edit in..." Only some of the LR adjustments show up in PS. (E.g. color adjustments are visible while crop and exposure are not). All versions (LR, PS, ACR) are the newest. I am on mac OSX 10.9.1.
Please help!
Thanks :-)

Since Photoshop is involved, you might try resetting PS's preferences as well:
Windows - Press and hold CTRL-SHIFT-ALT immediately after you double-click the PS icon until you are asked to reset.
Macintosh - Press and hold CMD-SHIFT-OPTION immediately after you double-click the PS icon until you are asked to reset.

Blue screen at start up, only few top icons showing at top

This is the white Macbook Intel with Snow Leopard installed. One thing is the hard drive is very full only 2 GB opened.
At startup after the apple, the screen turns blue and the mouse works. At the top of the screen on the right are a few icons, spotlight, battery and a couple others.
The Wi-fi box comes up saying something about none of the networks available and I can hit OK. It leaves a Ghost image of any dialog boxes that do appear. Also the Restart / Sleep / or Shut Down dialog box does come up.
I tried to backup the HD using Restore with Disk Utility and it wouldn't let me "Error HD is a Read Only disk"
so I started in single mode and tried the commands to fix it but that didn't work either.
I zapped the pram and actually got part of the dock to show up. and could take a screenshot.
I have no idea where it went since I can't see the hard drive or any other files.
Here is what I used to try to fix the permissions using single mode:
/sbin/fsck -fy
/sbin/mount -wu /
/bin/chmod 1775 / < I also tried 777 and 755
/bin/sync/
exit
I would love just to make a backup of the drive to save all the files and then install a new drive or reinitialize the one in it.
Would anyone have any suggestions? Thanks for taking the time to read!

Hi-
Jean Baptiste mentioned that he removed extensions for the drivers.
Removing a conflicting driver is fine as long as the driver specific for the card installed remains.
In this case, I think it may have been a corrupt driver, rather than a conflicting driver.
Radeon drivers in OS X have a good track record of compatibility, and such driver conflict is not a historically common occurrence.
Hard drive maintenance with Disk Warrior is the best way to correct corrupt files, unless bad RAM is corrupting the files.....
In your case, it shouldn't hurt anything to remove the Radeon 8500 drivers.
Could it be the driver extensions that are preventing a proper boot. The monitor displays perfectly in safe mode so I don't understand why it would be the video card.
Booting to Safe mode unloads drivers. Only very basic core graphics rendering drivers are loaded.
No Quartz/Quartz Extreme, no Core Image, no 3D acceleration, etc.
This doesn't tax a graphics card.
Failure to boot, or failure of graphics when drivers are loaded are due to one of two things- corrupt drivers or failing components on the graphics card.
A reinstall of the OS can rule out the first.
Installing a different graphics card is the only way to rule out the second.
Before buying a new card, I would try a fresh OS.
Installing a new OS on a separate drive, and booting to that is an easy way to test.

Iphoto only some albums are showing so that I can email?

Hiya
I'm trying to email an album of photos. I've got several albums, but only a few of them are showing with pictures in? I import photos every day so not sure why they are not working now!

what version of iPhoto and of the OS? please explain your situation more clearly - I have not idea what you are asking - for example photos are no in albums unless you put them there - when you import photos are in events or photos - albums have to be manually made or created using smart albums - can you email the photos form the events?

I have outlook on my pc. Just noticed when I plug in the iPad, only some things sync and go on my calendar on the iPad. Is there a setting to be turned on?

Only some items are showing up on the iPad calendar.
Is there as setting to be changed so that all items go onto my iPad calendar?

Sounds like some of your CDs are ones where the main artist asks their friend to sing a song with them?
Such as, Slash's new album. Track 1 is "Slash Feat. Ian Astbury", track 2 is "Slash Feat. Ozzy Osbourne" and so on.
To fix this, select all the tracks on that album, right-click > Get Info, and say YES to changing multiple items.
Put "Slash" in the *Album Artist* field (for this example, of course).
Make sure it is the *Album Artist* field, not the plain Artist field.

Cover Flow won't show JPG preview, only generic JPG icon

Hello,
For some reasons, I don't see JPGs in Cover Flow mode. I can see them in Quick Finder no problem.
I tried the following and toggle the on/off the feature without success: Go to Finder, open a window, and click View>Show View Options. From there, CHECK "Show Item Preview," then click "Use as Defaults."
I exported photos from iPhoto into my desktop but I get the same result. Only generic jpg icon.
BTW, PDFs are fine, excel, word are all fine....
Any idea?

A reboot solved the problem.
I guess this is the workaround for now...

I have a big problem, I don't know what I touched but when I open up my iTunes I can't see all the icons. The only icons showing are "podcast, iTunes U and Downloads" so in other words I can't find the movies, music etc. Which means I can't buy/rent!

Not all content types are available in all countries - in each country Apple can only sell what they are licensed to (and in some cases what a country's laws allows them to). A list of what is available where is shown on this page : http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3599
Do you have access to other music and film purchase download sites ?

I cannot customize Bookmarks Toolbar (Mac OS 10.x, Firefox 10.x) so that only the icons show.

At some point when I upgraded Firefox (probably to 10.x) I lost the ability to customize the Bookmarks Toolbar so that only the icons appear on the toolbar. I can customize to show text only, text and icons, but not icons only.

Hi H2OVixen,
Can you please describe how you are applying the update? What is strange is that the profiles and bookmarks are still there after the update.
If you are updating Firefox it would automatically import the profile that it has. However, if there are multiple profiles on the machine, it will pull the default profile. What may be interesting to see if is the profile manager still has all the profiles after the update, as it should ideally.[[Using Multiple Profiles]] Though you did mention that this does not happen to local libraries. I think this may be the issue you are really describing: NAS profiles are not seen after an update, is this correct?
Is it possible to see the profile on the NAS after the update if you open the Profile Manager on launch?
Cheers

The performance fixes is a biggy for me, though the other missing
stuff I use makes me have to use both versions for various things:
"but they seem to be committed to another release/version."
Well ... now that's the rub. I would actually welcome this intermediate version to play with (even with the cost of upgrading) if I could rely on it to be finalized into 6.0, full featured, without it taking as long as it has to Upgrade from AA3.0. I would say it was a VERY smart move to give us a preview of 6.0, if I felt in, say, six months they would provide us the fully functional update. But, HOW many years has it been. I felt screwed over while they played around with Sound Booth.
I was with you for a minute in most of what you said, until your credibility went down a couple notches with me on the statement trivializing midi functionality. I though that was a very clueless statement:
"but I have no need for a midi controller and if I want a drummer to keep perfect time I'll get a drum machine."
It does make some of your other statements suspect, tho I won't take it as far as therealdobro's "what's your stake" question.

After upgrading to IOS 5 on my iPad only some books in iBooks show content. They were fine before the upgrade. I made a new version in Pages and reinstalled them on the iPad. Still nothing. What is the fix?

I just got the iBooks update and that fixed the problem, except the book covers look like they were done in a government printing office.
