Set as available and not appearing as such

Hi
I complain that my son and grandchildren never call for iChat while my son complains that I am never available when they call. My computer is always on, iChat has been always on for some weeks now. My son never appears in my Buddy list as at his computer. Are we just missing each other? I have set energy saver for computer and screen to 'never sleep' and so I do it manually when I leave the computer. Screen saver seems to be unstoppable - could that make a difference? Why does he think I am not there? When we are lucky and coincide we can talk and see each other quite well, so it can work, that I know.
He runs Leopard on a new Mac Book ( think it is).
You could save our relationship if you can solve this one for me!
Best wishes
Ynys

There are several possibilities here.
1) You have an AIM name and he has added you as an @Mac name.
2) The reverse. (both in names and ends)
3) a straight forward misspelling of a Screen Name.
4) The names have become Blocked. (Check: iChat > Preferences > Accounts > Security tab and the list with the Edit button)
You seem to be saying that he is not in your Buddy List (As an Online person) Check Blocking and spelling and type of Account/screen Name you have him set as.
You can do this by highlighting his name in the Buddy list and using the Apple Key and i together (Get Info) and looking at the Address card tab).
In addition you seem to say that you do appear in your son's Buddy List but he never sees you as Available and this seems to be the Screen Saver/Sleep feature possible showing you as Away.
It sounds as if two things are happening.
Your computer is showing you as away.
You have added him as the wrong Buddy Type or misspelt his Screen name.

On restart Launch Pad, Reminders, App Store and Notes appears back on Dock

I have installed Mountain Lion and loving most of the features.
I am using the five finger pinch shortcut on the trackpad to get to the Dashboard.
Its a great feature so now I have deleted all my apps on the dock.
Instead I have put my many folders on the dock.
However, on restart of my macbook pro the Launch Pad, Reminders, App Store and Notes appears back on dock
Is there a way I can switch this annoying push to have to use Apple apps on the dock?

I noticed it sometimes happened when I am on Lion.
I don't use all the Apple software, and some never even opened them to use.
But they end up back on my dock again which is super annoying.

Check which fields are covered by one set of views and not another

Hi all,
I am having some problems formulating a query to find the set of fields that are covered by one set of views and not another.
I won't paste the abomination I'm currently butting heads with but basically I'm using INFORMATION_SCHEMA.VIEW_COLUMN_USAGE
I need underlying field name (not alias), view that includes it and table that it comes from.
Any pointers would be greatly helpful

Hi, with the script below you can find all the dependencies of all view
USE AdventureWorks2012;
GO
SELECT OBJECT_NAME(referencing_id) AS referencing_entity_name,
o.type,
o.type_desc AS referencing_desciption,
COALESCE(COL_NAME(referencing_id, referencing_minor_id), '(n/a)') AS referencing_minor_id,
referencing_class_desc, referenced_class_desc,
referenced_server_name, referenced_database_name, referenced_schema_name,
referenced_entity_name,
COALESCE(COL_NAME(referenced_id, referenced_minor_id), '(n/a)') AS referenced_column_name,
is_caller_dependent, is_ambiguous
FROM sys.sql_expression_dependencies AS sed
INNER JOIN sys.objects AS o ON sed.referencing_id = o.object_id
WHERE
o.[type] = N'V'
--and referencing_id = OBJECT_ID(N'Sales.vSalesPerson')
GO
You can specify the name of a view in the WHERE clause
hope this will help you

I just want to organize my photos to albums and not appear anywhere else. Photos appear in Photos and no indication if they have been dealt with.

I want to load my photos onto my MacBook Pro, sort them into albums and not have them appear in other locations. If I go to Photos all of the photos in the computer seem to appear. I can't tell if they have been put in an Album or have been edited. Is there a simpler system that I can use.

iPhoto works similarly to iTunes. In iTunes, every track is in the Library and each playlist is a sub-set of the Library.
So, in iPhoto, every image is in the Library and each Album is a subset of the Library. So, your photos will always be visible in the Library and in any album you use them in. That - of course - means that any image can ne used in a multitude of albums, and use no extra disk space. So that shot of your son, daughter and their puppy can be in the Son album, Daughter album, Puppy Album and even a favourites album.
Photos and Events are simply two views of the Library - two doors to the same room as it were.
It's easy to find photos not in an Album - with a Smart Album:
File -> New Smart Album
Album -> is not -> any
and another will find Photos not editoed:
File -> New Smart Album
Photo -> is -> Edited.
As you edit a photo, or add it to an album, they will be dropped from the Smart Album.

Buttons set in FCP do not appear in compressor preview

I would have expected that markers set in FCP would be seen and useful as chaprter marlkers in compressor.
Is there some reason they do not appear, which is my case?
Thanks
Barry

Barry,
As you may know, Apple has only give token support for Blu-Ray over the years. The Share to Blu-Ray option is important to some people, but it is in no way a full-fledged authoring solution of the type you're looking for.It will give you rudimentary menu and chapter options and is really designed for single files.
If you don't want to try some PC solutions, two Blu-Ray alternatives come to mind: 1) Toast Titanium and 2) Adobe Encore. Encore is a popular choice, but the catch is that it's only availabe by purchasing Premiere Production Suite (which I belive costs $1,600). Toast, while more limited in capabilities, is around $100.
Good luck.

I have bought a Bose soundlink AirPlay which is set up correctly but not appearing on my air playlist. However my apple TVs are. Anyone got any idea?

I Have bought a Bose Soundlink AirPlay which is connected to my home wifi. My MacBook, iPad and iPhone are all connected to the same wifi. The Bose sometimes shows up on the AirPlay list but mlst of the time does not appear. I have 2 Apple tvs which show up in the list but the Bose seems to be the problem. Does anyone have any idea what the problem may be?
any help would be greatly appreciated

Try this:
1. Turn off router, AirPlay Speaker and iPad
2. Turn on router and then wait 30 seconds for it to complete start-up process
3. Turn on AirPlay Speaker and then wait 30 seconds for it to complete start-up process
4. Turn on iPad and test AirPlay Speaker

Set up reminders (and notes) on the mac?

Hm, this should be trivial, but I can't find it: How do I set up, manage (and then sync) reminders on the mac? (Notes equally.) Or do I have to use other products for that purpose?

I have the same question, ***** no one answered yet but I would think that you should be able to type a reminder on your mac and it syncs to the reminder on your phone. Sorry if my response does not make sense lol falling a sleep

2G shuffle flashing and not appearing

Hi, my new 2G shuffle, connected to an e-mac running 10.3.9 does not appear in i-tunes or on the desktop. It's connected (I pushed it down on the dock after reading some answers here!) and is flashing orange to tell me to eject it before disconnecting. But I have no icon anywhere that I can eject! I don't want to randomly unplug it.
Help! What to do?
Thank you.

Mine too is a little flaky about being seen, especially in Finder. I have found that by pressing firmly on the little shuffle and kind of gently rolling it on the connector with my finger (I am assuming this creates a better contact at the headphone jack) the little dude shows up.
Another piece of advice I've seen is to try another USB port.
That said, sometimes you have to just pull the little bugger out and reinsert it, even though the computer complains that you unmounted a device improperly. Hey, that's life.
Lastly, it seems like the shuffle on/off switch position has some effect on how the 2G is seen and works in iTunes. I have not investigated this effect in detail yet.

Characters ő and ű not appearing in the print of smartform.

Hi All,
There is a requirement where hungarian text needs to get printed in a smartform. The two characters ű and ő appear as # when the printout is taken from the smartform.The text that needs to be printed is actually hardcoded in the driver program and passed in the structure to the smartform.
Could it be like there is a printer problem or what could be wrong?
Thanks in advance for the help!
Regards,
Gowthami SK

Hi,
The # character usually means that the character is not supported by the character set of the device type used to create the spool and print, Try creating a spool and print via windows and unicode device type SWINCF.

Purchased apps didn't get updates and not appear in the cloud

Hello,
Some apps did not added to my Purchased Apps. Most of this are free apps like Facebook, Flipboard, Popular Science, Wired, Imdb etc...
So when this apps get an update in the store, symbol appears next to the Application tab on iTunes, mark that there is an available update. But when I click on check for updates it says there is no available updates for my account.
At this point I start deleting apps from my library until the symbol mark disappear. Then I can know which app makes the problem and purchase it again. But still it doesn't added to my Purchased Apps, and it doesn't get a "Downloaded" mark on the store next to it or appear in the cloud.
It's really annoying. I want to get those apps on my cloud.
I would appreciate your help

Please, any one can help?

Bluetooth not working and not appearing in the devices manager

My bluetooth suddenly is not working anymore and i can't see it in the device manager.
I tried to reinstall the drivers but the problem persist. I have one strange USB problem happening too at the device manager, and it just appeared after the bluetooth problem. How can I solve it? One image of the problem is attached!

Try to update the IRST driver, and see if it helps the problem.

No contacts in Lync 2013 client and not appearing in others contact lists

Hello all,
I hope someone might be able to help out with this problem, I've been at it for weeks with no luck. I've migrated from Lync 2010 to 2013. All users have been successfully migrated and everything is working for them, except for one user (which i me unfortunately).
When I sign into Lync from any device (desktop, laptop, windows phone, iphone) I do not see any contacts in my organization, but I can find any of the contacts if i search for them. I also don't appear in anyone else's contact list, but they can find me if
they search.
I have tried disabling and removing my account from Lync server, uninstalling and reinstalling the Lync client on my machine, cleaning up all the Lync folders and registry keys on my machine. Nothing seems to get me any closer to getting this fixed.
I did find a discussion
here that is exactly the problem I'm having, but I don'e see a solution there either.
Has anyone else seen this before? Any suggestions or ideas would be very appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

I am afraid your Lync account lose the user data contact list when you move user from Lync Server 2010 to Lync Server 2013.
Please try to move the user back to Lync server 2010 to check if the contact list is stored.
You can use the tool DBIMPEXP.exe to back up specific user’ data from Lync Server 2010 and import the data to Lync Server 2013 with the command Import-CSUserData which is introduced in Lync Server 2013.
Before you import the data, you need to use the command Convert-CSUserData to convert exported user data to the data format used by Microsoft Lync Server 2013.
For the details, please check

N86 games - Why only 2 buttons are avail and not a...

hi,
The top part of the phone which is covered by the slider has 4 buttons (for pic viewing, music and games).
I found it very convenient to play games with it. However, only the 2 middle buttons are available for n gage games. The top and bottom one are not, and it's a shame cause they could be very useful in some games.
Why?? and can this be changed somehow so that all 4 buttons will be operatable in games?
thanks!

No, it has nothing to do with the phone reporting it to the game. Even if lets say the phone reported the buttons, they will still be useless, and would have no function since the game was only written to have the nav button and two commands. Its like those emulators for PC. When you use a gameboy emulator for example, you only can use buttons for navigation, the "a" and "b" buttons and start select, even if you have like 100 keys, because the game was written to only have those command scripts.
If you find my post helpful please click the green star on the left under the avatar. Thanks.
