Others can't see me

I'm logging onto iChat with aol instant messenger or Bonjour. I can see others, but they can't see me. Does anyone have any suggestions? I don't have any evidence to believe that there was anything altered in my other party's computer set up. However, I just moved and upon setting up my intel iMac, there were some things that changed. I had to unplug and plug to do a reset of the System Manager to correct the startup sound and that popping sound that others complained about in other forums.

Hi Alex,
I do not think it is your computer.
This User's Tip suggest a variety of linked symptoms that can get worse.
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1462798
Normally it is a preference file that gets corrupted.
This can be caused from the AIM end when they Sync their servers.
It is known that at times there SSL Login that iChat 4 uses can be suspect and drop connections.
iChat 4 will default to a non SSL Login until you manually reset it which can add to the problem.
Start with a deletion of com.apple.ichat.AIM.plist and restart iChat afterwards to "force" a fresh Login to AIM.
This file can only be found by manually going to your Home Folder/Library/Preferences
If that does not work try out the things in the User's Tip.
Other problems for iChat include having Internet Sharing ON
iChat can "See" the Internet through this Link as well as your Computer's connection to the Internet. (This includes to iPhones or other WiFi Phones that can then browse the Internet through the connection).
Similar issues apply if you use WiFi and Ethernet to the same router (or even to a neighbour's network.)

Others can't see email sent from icloud!!

Why is it that others can't see the email sent from my iCloud account? I've tried both from the phone and Mac. Its sent successfully. And it's even put into my sent box. But none of them receives it. I've tested with different people. What's going on?

Others can't see my photos

I'm getting feedback that friends and family can't see my photos in an iweb 08 published site.
"hi mate cant see the pictures????hope you are all well cx"
"The photos dont come thru, I wish they had, Hope all is well with your new addition"
It works fine on my computer, I can see them using IE on Parallels too.
Any ideas about why these people can't see the photos, do I need to tell them to install a plugin on their browser?
Thanks.

I am publishing to .Mac. I'm Not sure what you mean by how are the photos loaded onto iWeb, is there more than one way to do it? I just dragged albums from iPhoto to load them on to iWeb and I clicked publish All to .Mac to publish it. I'm using the plain white template and the elegant template.

Others can't see my calendar appointments

My colleagues cannot see my calendar appointments and sometimes can't see the ones I have invited them to.

Others can not see my attachments when i use Mountain Lion Mail.

When I use Mail to add attachments, the attachments all goes to the body of the mail.
how ever, my receivers all can not save my attachments in one time because they never see my attachments in the title,( they use MS outlook in Machontoshi ) but only see the files in the body of my mail. they all have to pull the attchment files one by one, and then edit the file names one by one again (when pull out the files, all files named "untitled"
any idea how to solve it?

you're in the wrong forum. This is for final cut pro studio users.

Tracks cover each other. can't see all tracks, can't move them, frustrating

Apologies if this is a repeat topic. But I haven't been able to find any posts about a problem similar to this.
In a new project, I can add three new tracks fine. Past that, the new tracks appear over the old ones, I can't drag them out of the way. Occasionally I can putz with it long enough that other tracks show up, they are displayed weird (like the gui doesn't show them right, just pieces of them) until I click in them and then they show up. This is worse if I have volume automation open for any tracks.
It's extremely frustrating, no matter what I do, locking tracks, dragging, changing the order I add them, new tracks show up over old ones and I can't move them around into a position where I see all of my tracks in the order I want them.
Is this a setting problem or an actual error in the software or processing.
I'm running snow leopard on a Black Macbook.

even though you're posting in the 09 (GB5) forum, what version are you actually running?

2 Macs sharing an external hard drive, but can't see each other's music

We bought a 300GB Lacie external hard drive, and pointed each Mac's iTunes to the same folder on that drive. Then the computer asked to "consolidate," which means copying all the music on each to that shared folder--which is great so far. But then in iTunes one Mac can only see the music it copied to that folder, and the other can only see the music it copied over. If I go into Finder, I can see both of our music, but in iTunes, no. There is some purchased iTunes music, but mostly just our own CDs.
What happened, and what can I do? Thanks!

Each computer (actually, each user account on each computer) has its own iTunes Library, which is a directory file. Moving computer A's music files to the new hard drive resulted in the Library file being updated to show the new location of the music that already was part of the Library. Moving computer B's files to that same location didn't affect computer A's iTunes Library file.
On each computer, you'll need to use the Add to Library command (or do the equivalent by dragging music folders from the Finder onto the Library icon in the Source panel of iTunes) to get all the music into your Libraries.
If the Copy files to iTunes Music Folder when adding to Library preference is ON (under Advanced\General of iTunes Preferences), then when you add music to your library, those files will be copied to the location in iTunes Music Folder location, if they're not already there. You may want to check these settings to make sure you won't end up with extra copies of music files in locations you hadn't intended.

10.5.8 iCal clients can't see additional Wiki Calendars

We just implemented a company wide iCal Server solution on 10.6.3 server (although just updated to 10.6.4 with no difference).
Most of our clients are 10.5.8 (iCal 3.0.8 - 1287). We've setup about 4 or 5 wikis, each with calendars and setup each user's iCal with additional CalDAV accounts for each Wiki Calendar, with URLs in the form of
http://server.example.com:8008/principals/_uids_/wiki-<wikiname>/
Now, within each Wiki/Group Calendar account, there might be multiple calendars. It seems that 10.5.8 clients can only see events in ONE of these calendars, whereas 10.6.x clients can see everything! User credentials seem irrelevant, it's just down to the OS/iCal version.
At first, I thought it might just be the primary calendar (/calendars/_uids_/wiki-<wikiname>/calendar) as opposed to the secondary ones (/calendars/_uids_/wiki-<wikiname>/87263455-a895-dfg3-23456789). However, even that is not the case. I can't seem to find any pattern to dictate why some show and some don't.
Now these 10.5.8 users can create events in the calendar whose events they can't see, but then others can't see those events. I've dug around in /Library/CalendarServer but I can't seem to find anything about event level ACLs. Am I misunderstanding how this should work? Is this a limitation of 10.5.8 iCal? Is anyone else experiencing this?

I'll just add that when users view the calendars via the web, all events show up perfectly.

How do you use Time Machine to restore a specific users account? I can't do it from the user screen because I am not allowed. I can't do it from the admin because I can't see other users in Time machine.

I can't restore my user account from the users screen because I get an alert that Mac OS needs something. I can't restore in TimaeMachine from the Admin screen because I can't see other users home folders. What can I do?

See Pondini's TM FAQs for starters.

In Icloud I can't see my "numbers" icon which i need to select "tick" to transfer data to my other devices via icloud. any ideas why it's not showing up?

In Icloud on my imac I can't see my "numbers" icon which i need to select "tick" to transfer data to my other devices via icloud. any ideas why it's not showing up?

You have to do it app wise, which means that the icon won't show up in settings, but you will be able to move files from your local drive to iCloud via the Numbers app (move... > choose the iCloud option).
It requires that you set up the same iCloud account on all your devices and that you have the latest version of Numbers on all your devices as well.

You can't view your back up files at icloud.com.
You can't view your camera roll and you can't view your Photo Stream files at icloud.com.
The icloud back up plan allows you to "restore" your iOS device from the files you backed up at icloud.com.

I can only see some of the info (e.g. the email Facebook gives you) for some friends in Contacts. I can see everything for others. Their b-days aren't listed in my Contacts (but these friends have their B-days on their profile on FB). Can anyone help?

Hello,
I can only see some of the information of my Facebook friends in my Contacts. For example, a friend has a birthday today. I received an email that she and another friend have birthdays this week. I received a notification on my iPhone and iPad that her birthday was today. It was never displayed in my Notification Center or Calendar beforhand, like it's displayed for other friend's (for other friends, it's displayed in the Notification Center, with the Calendar icon, 1 day before). I looked at every setting I could think of and the Help pages on Facebook. Nothing is working. My friend with the birthday today has her birthday openly listed on her Profile information on her Facebook page. In my contacts, her Facebook email (the one Facebook assigns you when you join) is listed. However her picture and birthday are not listed. I displayed my Facebook Contacts only, and roughly 20 showed up and not the rest. It's like the devices are not recognizing those people and putting their information in the respective places. I have an iPad 3rd Gen, iPhone 5, and MacBook Pro (purchased in January 2013. I hope that helps) and ALL the software updates are current. Can anyone help? Also, my MacBook cannot access my Contacts from Yahoo. Despite my typing in the correct password repeatedly as well as deleting and adding the Yahoo account again. I'd be grateful for any and all help. Thank you.

Step by step, how did you arrive at seeing this agreement?

I am trying to delete pages I have crated in numbers, but can only see them in print preview. Without print preview I do not see them. How can I delete these pages, but keep others before and after?

Hi Crushed,
Numbers doesn't have pages. It has a canvas that holds objects such as tables and charts.
Drag the objects from the bottom of the canvas onto the white space above. That will reduce the number of "pages" (sheets of paper) that will print.
Regards,
Ian.

The sheet I am working on has lost the ability for me to scroll to the first few columns. I can't see the columns but I can cut and paste them so I know they are still there. Has this happened to others

The sheet I am working on has lost the ability for me to scroll to the first few columns. I can't see the columns A & B but if I cut and paste the table to a new sheet, the columns I am missing will travel to the new sheet. I have charts and other stuff related the the original table so I need to figure out why I can only see from column C forward. I tried to "UNHIDE" the columns but the function doesn't seem to recognise that there are columns missing. Has this happened to others and how did you fix it?

I've seen it happen before, or at least it sounds something like what I've seen before. The table somehow gets into the margins of the page and the app doesn't know how to deal with it. Go into Print View and try moving the table away from the left side ofthe page. You might have to change content size or resize the table to get it to correct (then put you can put them back the way you like).
