Receiving Unknown requests for "Chat"

When I'm having a video iChat with a friend in my Buddy list, I'm getting pop-up windows for requests to iChat with people I do not know. How is this happening? Is there anyway to block it from happening?
Thanks!
Paul

Hi,
It happens.
There are things you can do to reduce this sort of thing.
Log in Here  Sign In is top right
It does not matter if it is an @mac.com or MobileMe name either
Click the Liefstyles option and sort of your Privacy. You will get taken to a new Window or Tab depending on how your Browser is set up to work.
Go Back to the original AIM Settings page and click Privacy and adjust the settings there.
Basically Lifestyles is a sort of Profile that other people can find when searching AIM
The Privacy page also has an Option to stop people finding you with Searches.
Some people run "Bots" that try random names and can strike lucky.
Go to the iChat Menu > Preferences > Accounts
In the Security tab set either Allow Buddy List Only or Allow Specific People (You have to set the List for the latter and that may take some time).
These will stop others from seeing you as being On Line.
You can also use Invisible as your Status in iChat 4 and 5
Hope that helps.

  • Has anyone received this request for info?

    I received this request for info at 5:30 am this morning. It doesn't look legitimate.

    I did not reply at all. Now and then, these bogus messages show up in Mail with the purpose of gaining access to accounts. I hope everyone will avoid this and all other spam.
    Yeah, these emails have been around for many years. The old rule applies. If a company you deal with wats information, they will firstly address you by name and secondly tell you to go to the appropriate website, sign in and apply the information there. Never follow a link they give. Never reply to the email. Never bounce the email. Trash the email. They are very easy to spot.

  • HT5622 Trying to get a training room set up with Apple ID's.  Does Apple block an IP if they receive multiple requests for accounts?

    We are training 63 new employees today.  Trying to set up an Apple ID's and iTunes.  All but 4 credit cards are being denied.  Will Apple block an IP if they receive multiple requests from an IP within "x" minutues?

  • Monitoring and Controling Incoming Requests for Chat with a Customer Service Agent

    I've reviewed the suggested threads, but I do not see one that captures the essence of my query.
    Bascially, I want to set up a generic Chat ID called "Customer Service".
    Users would open a chat to this ID and ask their question.
    On the backend a monitoring module would look for CHAT available CS Agents, and route the call to the first available.
    IF no one is available the user would recieve a reply that there is X minutes wait and give them the option of waiting or getting a chat back when someone comes available.
    Has anything like this been developed?

    I haven't seen something exactly like that, but it sounds pretty close to IManExpert:
    http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/projects/imanexpert/ 
    That's worth checking out I'd say.

  • Error message: The scn engine received a request fro an I/O driver which is not currently installed on the controller.

    Hi,
    I am currently working in a new application with a cRIO system and I am having some issues when try to run a VI. My actuall configured hardware is as follow:
    -cRIO-9113 4 slot chassis
    In this chassis I have installed 3 NI 9514 servo interface modules in slot 1, 2 and 3
    -cRIO-9022 Real-Time Controller
    -NI 9144 8 slot expansion chassis
    In this chassis I have installed:
    -Slot 1: NI 9213 (16ch thermocouple inputs module)
    -Slot 2: NI 9201 (8ch ±10 V analog input module)
    -Slot 3: NI 9263 (4ch ±10 V analog output module)
    -Slot 4: NI 9426 (32ch sourcing digital input module)
    -Slot 5: NI 9426 (32ch sinking digital input module)
    -Slot 6: NI 9476 (32ch sourcing digital output module)
    In the controller I have installed the following softwares:

    Well, I made  VI to test my inputs and outputs, and the problem that I am having is that when I try tu run the VI, in the deployment window I get an error message that read: The scan engine received a request for an I/O driver which is not currently installed on the controller.
    Apparently there is another driver that I need to instal in the controller, but I have no idea of what driver could be. If someone have any idea of what this problem could be, I really will appreciate your help.

    Hi nausfaratu,
    Can you elaborate a little further? What are you doing in your VI? Are you getting this error when you build it into a Real-Time Application (EXE) or when you just run it from the development environment? Is that the recommended set of software or did you do a custom software install on the controller?

  • Request for the creation of a new Unemployment account for tax

    Hi Guys,
    This is a question with regard to US tax. We have received a request for the creation of a new Unemployment account for the payment of taxes. This is because the account assignment number has changed for a particular company code in Tennassee state. Please let me know where this change could be made in SAP.
    Thanks,
    Subbaiah

    Subbaiah,
    Table T5UTL is used for New Tax Company Codes. If this is a new legal entity, youu2019ll need to set up the Tax Company here. Youu2019ll also need to assign at least one Personnel Area to this new Tax Company. This must be established in order to update the next table shown below, but only if itu2019s a new legal entity. The user will know.
    Table T5UTH is for establishing the account number to be used in BSI. It must be established in order to update the next table shown below.
    Table T5UTI is for assigning account numbers by Tax Company Code. Youu2019ll need one for Tax Authority TN, Tax Type 10. The user will need to supply this information to you.
    Table BTXRATE will need to be updated with the Tax Company Code, year, and the State Unemployment Insurance rate & taxable wage amount.
    Once this is done, youu2019ll need to update BSI.
    If Tennessee is a new state, youu2019ll have work to do with the tax models.
    Regards,
    Howard

  • Request for Credit Card krrps happening every 30 mins

    I receive a request for credit card information every hour at least which my Trend virus blocker kills. This only happens when Firefox is open.

    I believe i can fix this for a some of you out there. The problem is that Apple forces you to have the exact same address the USPS has one file. They do an address verification with the information you submit and they change your city and zip code to match 100 percent.
    The problem is that most people do not change their billing zip code on their credit card when their zip code changes. For example, my zip code was 84088 up until about 3 years ago when it was change to 84081. I have never change my zip code or my city name with my credit card company so when i put in my billing address i always put 84088. Apple decided that they want to force people to change their credit card billing address to match EXACTLY what the USPS has.
    Most credit card transactions can get a better rate if the billing address of the transaction matches the billing address of the card. That is why they always ask for it. However, it makes no sense for Apple to force you to change it to the USPS address because only the credit card billing address and the credit card transaction billing address need to match.
    So, on to my fix. Do not put the whole street address, only put in the first set of numbers. If your address is "1000 Elm Street" then just put in "1000" ino the street address. Then put your proper credit card billing address zip code in. Because apple can't do the USPS database search without the full street address they will not change your city/zip but you credit card validation will work just fine because credit card address validation only cares about the first set of numbers.
    SERIOUSLY APPLE?!? Get a clue! There is no need for you to force us to match the USPS address 100%.

    Interesting suggestion, but it's not clear to me how I would do that if I'm not using an "(at) icloud.com" email address/account. I am having the same problem with changed invitations that come from an organizer who is using Google Apps. My email account is hosted at my ISP - it's not obvious to me how I can use iCloud to access that email account (and therefore the changed invitation). Suggestions?

  • I could not remember my apple ID password so I made a request for a new one. When I received the email with the link on resetting my password it was addressed to John Ohare. My name is not John Ohare. Does this mean someone is hacked my iCloud account?

    Hello Corinne Craven,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
    You can update the name on your Apple ID here:
    Appleid.apple.com
    If you suspect unauthorized access to your apple ID I would normally recommend resetting your password, but you have already done this.
    Here is some information about 2 step verification which is another level of security for your account.
    Apple ID: Frequently asked questions about two-step verification for Apple ID
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5570
    Be sure to read all the information in the article if you choose to use two-step verification.
    Take care,
    Sterling

  • When I tap the "download for Android" on my Android phone, I receive a "requested item could not be found" error message.

    I am attempting to install Firefox mobile on my Android phone. When I tap "download for Android" on my current browser, I receive a "requested item could not be found" error message.

    Firefox will not appear in the Market for most phones with incompatible hardware. You can check if your phone is supported here:
    https://wiki.mozilla.org/Mobile/Platforms/Android
    On some supported devices, a bug prevents Firefox from appearing in the Market. This may be related to the recent Market update. You can go to Settings/Applications and uninstall the Market update, then find and install Firefox.
    Or, if you have a supported phone, you can download the app directly from here:
    http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/mobile/releases/4.0b3/android-r7/multi/
    (Note: To download the app directly for an AT&T phone, you will have to search for instructions on "sideloading" the APK file, since AT&T disables the option to install from non-Market sources.)

    Dear Anubha,
    I hope these windows illustrate what I am facing.
    The above window shows the prompt that the software requires activation.
    The version is 8.1.0.
    This next window is the point where I select activation by phone.
    This final window shows that the "response code" is not returned.  I get an
    "Activation Number" instead.

    Hi,
    The Exchange Health Manager Service is used to manage worker process. It's used to build, execute, and start and stop the worker process, as needed. It's also used to recover the worker process in case that process fails, to prevent the worker process from
    being a single point of failure.
    Please check whether the Exchange Health Manager Service is running well.
    Besides, please check the application log to see if there is any related events that can be used to troubleshoot this issue.
    Best regards,

  • Request for Discount , Free Transport before creating PO

    How does the customer will ask for discount or free transportation of goods to be delivered from a vendor .
    I want to send quotations to vendors such that it should contain quantity of items along with request for free goods delivery or some discounts . After getting their quotations back from the vendors is their any way of asking for negotiation of price or free goods delivery ( if this is not asked in RFQ ) .
    I need if this is possible , where we define all this things. Points will be rewarded .
    - David Boon

    Hello David,
    Free shipping and discounts are part of negotiation with the vendor. Once you receive the Quotation from vendor then it will be maintained in "maintain Quotation - ME47".
    Based on the comparition list, you can negotiate with the vendor for Free Shipping and discounts. If vendor is ready to supply the material with free of cost and discount then you can maintain Discount in Quotation again or in purchase order, where as you will not maintain delivery condition in Quotation/Purchase order.
    Hope this helps.
