Unable to change status in messages

Hey guys,
Okay, so I am unable to change my status in messages or do anything for that matter.
My friends messages app looks different then mine and she actually has more options then me. It will not let me set to online status or anything, it's like disabled and I cannot figure it out. Also when I send a message from my mac, it will say my email when my friend recieves the message but then if I send it from my iphone it says my number, so it starts two different conversations.
This is annoying and when I called tech support they had no idea what I was talking about.
Any smart apple users out there

The new Messages app in Mountain Lion has two aspects. It integrates most of the features of the old iChat program (using AOL and Jabber transport mechanisms among others, which include the concept of on/offline status) with Apple's new iMessage transport mechanism (which doesn't).
Your phone-to-phone message are probably going through yet a third transport mechanism, SMS. You can set your phone to use iMessage transport to eligible recipients by going to Settings > Messages, turning iMessage to "ON", and including your AppleID (~email address) in "Receive At" along with your phone number.
We are told that when iOS6 is released this fall it may help combine the multiple conversations. It is not yet clear how.

I'm unable to change the voicemail message. Any ideas?

I'm unable to change the voicemail greeting heard by callers when I can't get to my phone on time. Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this issue?

That's handled by the carrier. Contact yours.

I am trying to create a master password on a new machine, but all I get when I hit enter is this message: "Unable to change Master Password".

Pretty much as per the question, when I try and set up a master password, the error message says "Unable to change Master Password". There isn't one to start with, so I'm just wanting to set one for the first time.

Did you copy any files from another computer to the profile folder on that new computer?
Do you already have saved passwords?
*Tools > Options > Security: Passwords: "Saved Passwords" > "Show Passwords"
If you haven't then try to delete the key3.db file and possibly logins.json and signons.sqlite in the Firefox profile folder.
Note that all saved passwords are lost when you delete these files.
You can use this button to go to the currently used Firefox profile folder:

OfficeJet 6700 - "Unable to communicate with printer" message after install

I am on a hybrid network with Windows 7, 64-bit. Printer is hard-wired to the router (ethernet) but laptops are wireless. Installation doesn't allow for a hybrid option, just wireless or wired, so I installed as wired.
I just installed the OfficeJet 6700 - installed OK. I also updated software/firmware during the install process.
Windows' "Devices & Printers" recognizes the HP as being installed.
Printer is able to produce the network configuration page, etc. so we know the printer is functional, but when I try to print I get an "Unable to communicate with printer" message.
Windows' "Devices and Printers" troubleshooter thinks the driver is not installed, but as I mentioned, I just installed software from the CD.
UPDATE: I was able to install & print without problems on my wife's Win7, 64-bit laptop. Something about mine seems to be the issue. Also, HP Print & Scan Doctor reports that everything checks out OK, but when I try to print a test page at the end of the good doctor's diagnosis, I am still "unable to communicate with printer."

Sorry this is so long, but I tried to be through in my testing.
Followed your suggested steps.
I had previously set a static IP address, but just to be thorough, re-set it again with the same address.
I unplugged the USB cord from the laptop.
I began with the device labeled "HP OfficeJet 6700 (Copy 1)," which was set as the default printer.
After entering the IP address & clicking Next, it searched the network and returned this message:
Additional port information required
The device could not be identified.
The device is not found on the network. Be sure that:
1. The device is turned on.
The network is connected.
The device is properly configured.
The address on the previous page is correct. (re: the page where the IP address is entered)
If you are sure the address is correct, select the device type below.
I selected Standard (Generic Network Card) and clicked Next.
Summary dialog appeared and I clicked Finish.
Clicked OK/Apply.
Attempted to print. Like before, it sent the file to print queue - then nothing.
Right-clicked on the "Copy 1" device and selected Troubleshoot. Returned the message: Make printer "Fax HP OfficeJet 6700 the default printer" - even though this copy is already the default printer. (Usually when the original copy is set as the default, this copy is automatically re-named "Fax HP OfficeJet 6700.") I chose "Apply this fix."
Summary page said "Troubleshooting has completed." I closed the troubleshooter and attempted to print. I closed the Devices & Printers window so it could refresh. Re-opened Devices & Printers. Now the default printer is named "Fax HP OfficeJet 6700." The other device is grayed out and is simply named "HP OfficeJet 6700."
Attempted to print. (I'm testing w/ Notepad and .txt files)
I have 3 choices in the Notepad's printer dialog box but only 2 devices showing in the Devices & Printers window:
~ "Fax HP OfficeJet 6700" - This is the default printer in the Devices and Printers window. I clicked on Print & rec'd an error message: "Send Fax - HP Officejet 6700. There is a problem communicating with the Printer. Check your USB connection & verify that the printer is ready." Notepad's print dialog box shows status as Offline. I canceled all documents in the print queue.
~ "HP OfficeJet 6700." When I choose this printer option, Notepad's print dialog box shows status as "Paused - Offline." I clicked on "Print" anyway, and like before, it sent the file to print queue - then nothing. This is the printer that shows as grayed out in the Devices & Printers window. I canceled all documents in the print queue.
~ "HP OfficeJet 6700 (Copy 1)." There is no printer by this name in the Devices and Printers window even tho' it shows in Notepad's print dialog box. Notepad's print dialog box shows status as "Ready." In Devices & Printers, when I right-click on the one labeled "Fax OfficeJet 6700" (the default device) and choose "See what's printing," 2 HP devices are listed - the one labeled "Copy 1" and the one labeled "Fax." I clicked on "Print" and like before, it sent the file to print queue - then nothing. I canceled all documents in the print queue.
I plugged in the USB cord again and re-ran the same series of tests.
~ "Fax HP OfficeJet 6700" - This is still the default printer in the Devices and Printers window. Notepad's print dialog box shows status as "Ready." The fax window opened, waiting me to enter the recipient's name, add a cover sheet, etc. I closed the fax window. The .txt file was in the print queue for the "Fax" device, so I canceled all documents in the print queue.
~ "HP OfficeJet 6700." When I choose this printer option, Notepad's print dialog box shows status as "Paused - Offline." I clicked on "Print" anyway, and like before, it sent the file to print queue - then nothing. This is grayed out in the Devices & Printers window. I canceled all documents in the print queue.
~ "HP OfficeJet 6700 (Copy 1)." Again, there is no printer by this name in the Devices and Printers window even tho' it shows in Notepad's print dialog box. This is one of 2 choices in the device labeled "Fax" - the default device. Notepad's print dialog box shows status as "Ready." I clicked on "Print" and like before, it sent the file to print queue - then nothing. I canceled all documents in the print queue.
Next, I used the printer's touch screen interface and turned the wireless connection off, leaving the USB cord plugged in.
~ "Fax HP OfficeJet 6700" - Status: Ready. The fax window opened, same as before. I closed the fax window & canceled all documents in the print queue.
~ "HP OfficeJet 6700 - Status: Paused - Offline. I clicked on "Print" anyway, and like before, it sent the file to print queue - then nothing. This one shows as grayed out in the Devices & Printers window. I canceled all documents in the print queue.
~ "HP OfficeJet 6700 (Copy 1)" - Status: Error. I clicked Apply, then Print. Again, this is one of 2 choices in the device labeled "Fax" - the default device. Like before, it sent the file to print queue - then nothing. I canceled all documents in the print queue.
Reconnected to the wireless network & verified that the IP address had not changed.
Tried again to print using "HP OfficeJet 6700 (Copy 1)" - Status: Ready. I clicked Print and again, it sent the file to print queue - then nothing. This is still listed as one of 2 choices in the device labeled "Fax" - the default device." Like before, I canceled all documents in the print queue.
Next, I right-clicked on the one labeled "Fax OfficeJet 6700" (the default device) and choose "See what's printing" and selected the device labeled "HP OfficeJet 6700 (Copy 1)." In the print queue window, when I click on "Printer, one of my options is "Set as Default Printer." As soon as I did that, the device in the Devices & Printers window was renamed as "HP OfficeJet 6700 (Copy 1)" - no longer named "Fax." I tried to print again. Once again, file was sent to the print queue but never printed.

Unable to change "Your name" in BIS

I have my Gmail account set up in BIS and everything is working perfectly, however, I am unable to change the "Your name:" field to anything other than what's already there. I've tried deleting the account and re-adding it in there from the web site as well as from my BB to no avail. When I change the field, I don't get an error and I receive a message saying "Email account successfully updated." but it doesn't stay. For some reason, just my last name is in there (i.e. Smith) but I would like to change the "Your name:" field to my full name: John Smith.
Is there something I'm doing wrong? TIA!

What did your mobile operator have to say about it? This seems to be a problem specific to them. They can disable most of the fields your BIS account.

Unable to change setings, was in Siri, got 'jammed'

This 'Senior' got jammed-up. Unable to change settings, settings unresponsive and am stuck in Siri. Problem happened IN SIRI, now can't change settings to even access the Siri option.
SETTINGS WON'T LET ME ACCESS OPTIONS 'below level of Wallpaper'. Swipe won'r allow to go to any other screen in settings.
This happened in SIRI and I can't even disable 'turn-off' Siri
Unable to close applications on bottom of screen as well, as usually done.
The 'voice mode' is on, and that is what jammed everything up.
The only appications which show 'open on screen are' Messages,Phone, Settings and Safari, Mail, Music, and I am prevented from 'closing them'.
I did a turn-off, began again with the apple logo but can't reset.
Can't get past the first screen in my apps.
I BELIEVE it is a SIRI problem but can't change settings other than 'Airplane Mode through Wallpaper.'
I bet there is someone who would help a 'Grandma'!
What on Earth IS wrong?!!! and how can I get 'out of it' without going to the Apple Store.
Tiny store ,International Record as "Smallest Apple Store in the World", Santa Rosa, California..and they aren't much interested in giving-up that claim to fame!
it's usually like the 'final boarding of Noah's Ark in there" and NOT a fun place to be!!!

User's Group,
Immediate help from randers4 got me 'back in business'. I would have not beieved I could have done this without a trip to the store and a distant appointment date.
Things seemed messed-up beyond my ability to affect any change!
Alone, this would not have been possible. I feel I learned a great deal about the IOS 5 system's Siri quirks.
This is what it is all about.
People helping others who know less than they do!
Gratitude is such a small word,
this was monumental for me to have done even with the assistance of another person.

Unable to change Date Created in Metadata

Please help with my first post...
Unable to change Date Created field in Metadata.
I am a newspaper photographer sending .jpg pics with captions to my office from my iMac. They are viewed at the office on Windows PCs using SCC MediaGrid.
When changing Date Created in Metadata Invalid Format warning appears "Format should be ISO 8601 XML compliant, that is YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm[:ss][tz] (eg 2006-07-11T13:14:30-07:00)"
If 2009-09-26, for example, is entered then exported pictures opened up in Photoshop or shown on SCC MediaGrid do not display the date.
To get dates to show up I first have to open a pic in Photoshop, go to File Info, enter 26/9/09 in Date Created and Save As.
Next I have to Import this into Aperture where the Date Created shows as "20090926".
Using Lift Metadata and Stamp Metadata the date can be transferred to other pics.
Now when I export these pics the date does show up in Photoshop and SCC MediaGrid.
Can Date Created be typed straight into field in Aperture?...Very important when pics go into archive on a server.
Also if I hit Return key in a Metadata Caption, to type on the next line, both lines will appear as one with a small square in-between them when viewed on SCC MediaGrid on a Windows PC.
Thanks in anticipation.

Nick I don't generallt use the IPTC metadata, so I'm not sure I will be too much help.
What version of Aperture are you using? I tried both things and I didn't have any problems with the latest version of Aperture on my Mac.
I was able to enter a date into "Date Created" both with and without the time-zone adjustment. Can you tell us the exact string you tried to enter into the "Date Created" and exactly when you get the error? I tried to enter my time zone (eastern US) as "-5:00", but Aperture wouldn't let me enter the 5 and popped up the error message when I typed that key. I had to use "-05:00".
As for the caption, when I hit return, Aperture ends my edit. I cannot reproduce your described behavior of actually getting a new-line into the field. I suspect your problem (although I don't know how you get to your problem) is one of the following:
1) The IPTC standard doesn't tell if the software should use a Unix-style end-of-line (which is a line-feed), or a DOS/Windows style end-of-line (which is carriage-return followed by line-feed). Aperture may put in the Unix-style and your Windows programs don't know what to do with it.
2) The IPTC standard does indicate the end-of-line style, but either Aperture or your other programs don't follow it.
or
3) IPTC Metadata doesn't actually support end-of-line, so Aperture should not allow you to enter multiple lines, but it has a bug so it does allow you to do that.
Can you tell us where exactly you are editing the caption? I tried it in the inspector pane (on the left) in the "Metadata" tab, and then I hit the "IPTC" button at the bottom of the tab.

Unable to change apple ID location

I was trying to make a purchase recently, but a message telling me I needed to update my billing info came up. For some reason, my country is listed as China (I live in Canada, I've never even been to China). I tried changing my country back, but I am unable to. I get to the "choose your country or region" page, and it says "You need a valid method of payment and billing address for a country in which iTunes is available. Please select a country from the lis below. If a country is not listed, it means iTunes is not available in that country yet."
The problem is, there is no list to choose from. The page is blank, aside from that message. Ive tried restarting my ipad, logging out, but the page is always blank. I'm not even sure how my country was changed from Canada to China in the first place, but now I am unable to change it back. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If you are doing it via the iTunes & App Store option in Settings, then once you click on your AppleID, and then click on View AppleID>Country/Region>Change Country or Region, then you also need to click on "Store" where it is showing China right now.
Once you click on "Store" it will then display the list, and you can scroll down to Canada.
That should fix you up.
But you are really going to have to do something about that sleepwalking problem!!!
Cheers,
GB

Unable to change screensaver

I changed my screensaver to the itunes album art slideshow the day I got my macbook pro. I have been unable to change it since then.
Going through system preferences, then clicking "desktop and screensaver" will bring me to the window where I should be able to change the screensaver. However, ther preview window is empty and the list of available screen savers in not populated. Within second the window closes itself and the following message appears: "The applicatio System Preferences quit unexpectadly."
Choosing any of the options "close," "report," or "reopen" and trying again yeilds the same results.

Choose Go to Folder from the Finder's Go menu and enter ~/Library/Preferences/ as the folder's location. When this folder has appeared, move the item named com.apple.desktop.plist to the desktop. Next, open the ByHost folder inside and move anything which has a name containing screensaver inside to the desktop as well. If everything works properly after moving those files, throw them away.

Unable to change PR fields

Hi Experts,
I have one strange problem, we are runing classic scenario and PR is created in R/3 system for each shopping cart. I am unable to change item short text, UOM, price etc of these PR using ME52N in R/3 system .
But if i create manually PR in R/3 system for the same document type, i am able to change these fields using ME52N.
Please advise how i can change PR field values which are coming from EBP system.
Regards,
Kamaljit

Hi
Which R/3 version are you using ?
Alternatively, you try do the following.
<u>Execute ME52N Transaction for any of the Purchase Requistion number.Try changing the Text, UOM, price, etc using ME52N Transaction. Are you getting any error/warning message there ? Either it can also due to Missing BASIS authorization as well. In the same session, type /nSU53 transaction in the command menu on top left corner of the SAP R/3 screen.
Incase there is any authorization object missing, it will display the details on that in that transaction. Ask you BASIS person, to provide authorization access, by giving him the screen shot details of SU53 transaction.</u>
<u>Seems to be a bug in your R/3 system, which might be solved with any OSS note. Have you raised any OSS message with SAP yet on this issue. ? If the above solution does not work , try raising the same as well.</u>
Hope this will help.
Please reward full points, incase it suits your requirements.

Unable to communicate with product message when installing laserjet cp1525nw printer

I have a cp1525nw wireless printer that use to work fine wirelessly. I changed my router password (linksys router) and now can't connect. I have tried changing the password back to the original password and it still will not connect. So I when back to the changed password.
I have tried resetting the printer to the default settings, removed all HP software, deleted all temp files, rebooted machine and attempted to reinstall the printer. The software loads fine, I've connected the USB cord and then get the dreaded "Unable to communicate with product" message. I have previously tried to connect by WPS and that didn't work either.
The Wireless Network Test Report shows that the Network Name Found test is Fail. The Network Summary report shows a different Network Name under the wireless Network Configuration section than my network's SSID.
What do I need to do?

Hello,
I see that you are having issues setting up the printer over the wireless network. I will certainly do my best to help you.
The password might not be recognized by the printer, if there are spaces or special characters in it.
Restore the printer defaults. Press the OK button, select Network Config, then select Restore Defaults.
Print a configuration page to make sure the SSID and the IPv4 address are cleared.
Printing a Configuration Report.
Run the printer software again and select Add a Device to setup the wireless again.
If you are having issues, then uninstall and reinstall the software to configure the wireless.
