Visual alerts no longer appear when I receive a chat

My iChat icon no longer has the little red bubble with the white numbers appear to alert me when someone has chatted me. The alert sounds work though. I haven't changed any system preferences, and I've restarted both iChat and my computer and I still have had the same problem.

Hi,
Welcome to the    Discussions
DO you have Chax Installed ?
It is an iChat Add-on that can set a particular Window to the Front.
If you set the Invites to be Front they then make the red blob and number thing disappear, effectively before it has appeared.
Also using the settings in iChat to Auto Accept Invites does the same thing.
This is set in the iChat Menu > Preferences > Messages, then Text Invites in the top Drop sown and Enabling the Auto Accept AppleScript bit.
If it is none of these we may have to dig a little further.

  • After updating to iOS 7 the contact photos no longer appear when I receive a call. How can I get them to show again?

    After updating to iOS 7 the contact photos no longer appear when I receive a call. How can I get them to show again?

    I'm having the identical problem on my iPhone 4 after upgrading to IOS 7--no ability to update apps or download new apps.  Here is what Apple tech support emailed to me:
    I understand that you are unable to download or update applications after updating iOS7 on your iTunes. I know you must be eager to get this resolved and I will be happy to help you today.
    ... to help you better with this issue I would request you to please try this steps given below to resolve your issue.
    Please follow this steps:
    1) Double tap the home button
    2) Hold down on an icon
    3) Tap the red "X" on iTunes, and the App Store.
    4) Tap Settings > Store > Tap your Apple ID, and choose sign out
    5) Tap Settings
    6) Tap General
    7) Tap Reset
    8) Tap Network Settings
    Once it has been closed with multi-tasking, and you have rebooted the device in the network settings reset, please sign in, and try again. 
      Howevr, if you are facing the same issue than for this issue, you may need to call our AppleCare technical support team. A technical Advisor will be able to tell you about Apple's complimentary and fee-based support. The technical Advisor can also assist you in determining what option might be most helpful to you in this case.
    Mildly amusing that the instructions for force-closing a program are the IOS 6 instructions, which do not work on IOS 7. 
    Otherwise I'm having a little success with this.  Some apps (not all) are updating. It seems that a few more apps update each time I go through the process (close everything, sign out, and either reset or reboot, then go to the app store, sign in and try to update all).  So far it has been a very lengthy, iterative process.

    Go to the songs view sorted as Album by Artist. Select, for example, the songs of artists whose names begin A-E. Right-click and click consolidate files. Assuming this group consolidate without error move on to another group, say F-J. If there is an error divide the original group into smaller chunks until you can isolate which tracks are causing a problem.

  • Is it possible to setup my Do Not Disturb mode not to vibrate but to let banners appear when I receive new messages?

    Hey!
    I just got a new iPhone 5S and I've been trying to adapt it to my needs.
    I do remember that on my 4S, I only switched between silent (with vibrate) and do not disturb modes.
    When I was using the phone on do not disturb, it did not vibrate but a banner appeared when I received a new SMS or Whatsapp.
    Unfortunately, I haven't been able to reproduce this on my new phone.
    Now it seems that I have to choose, when in do not disturb mode, between a completely silent phone (no vibrate and no banners) or a vibrating phone + banners when I receive new messages...
    Can you help me?
    Thanks a lot.
    Thiago

    Thank you for your answer.
    Unfortunately, when I do this DND also disables notification banners... So when I receive a message I don't even know I did...
    I'm going to try to be clearer: when the phone is not in use, it works just as I want it to. When only in Silence mode, it vibrates when I get something new; when on DND mode, it is completely muted.
    My problem is when I'm using the phone on DND mode (for example: on the bed next to my girlfriend who is asleep), I would like to have banners for SMS and Whatsapp, but no vibration, so as to know that I got a message but discretely.
    If I put on Silence notifications > Always, it does not vibrate, which is good, but it doesn't show me that I got a message at all. If i put on Silence notifications > Only while iPhone is locked, it vibrates when I receive a new message

  • IPhone 4 updated from 6.0 to 7.1.2 and now the picture no longer appears when receiving or making phone calls.  How do I fix this?

    I updated the software for my iPhone 4 from 6.0 to 7.1.2 and now pictures (contact picture/picture ID's) no longer appear (take up the entire screen) when receiving or making phone calls.  They only show in a small circle which is not convenient at all.  How do I fix this, please?

    You are welcome. I have seen numerous posts on this subject, so I suspect you are correct. It doesn't seem like a welcome change. You can send feedback to Apple at http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html

  • Alert doesn't appear when child is using "Ask to buy"

    Hi, I'm having a problem with the "ask to buy" on my kids iPad. We are all logged into my iCloud account and all have "ask to buy" switched on. When you go try to purchase the item it asks you to cancel or send alert but it isn't alerting on my iPhone or my Mac. Please help. Thanks!!

    Did you purchase iWork '06 from the Apple Store, or an Apple Certified Reseller?
    I don't have iWork '06, but I would think that you are supposed to use the iWork DVD to install the applications.
    At what point is the DVD spit out?
    Even if it is not appearing on the Desktop, are you able to insert the DVD, and restart from the DVD, while holding down the C key?
    Are you inserting the iWork DVD in the internal or external drive?
    Is the internal optical drive a CD-R, a CD-RW, a Combo or SuperDrive?
    Is the external drive a Firewire or USB?
    Does your G4 meet the Minimum System Requirements listed on this page iWork '06?

  • Why do the file extensions (.jpg .gif .png) no longer appear when I click on a previously saved image to use that image's file name (particularly important when saving a series of images using the same root name)?

    I save a lot of images using firefox, often times from a large batch or series of images. It used to be that I would click on a previously saved image and the entire file name including the file extension (i.e. image_example.jpg) would appear in the "save as" line. Now when I click on a previously saved file, the file name appears without the file extension (i.e. image_example). Which means I have to manually type .jpg every time. For a large collection of images that I am hoping to use the same root file name and then add chronological numbers at the end, this has become incredibly frustrating, especially as it is a previously unnecessary task.
    I am using a new Macbook Pro and maybe there's something Apple related to this...? It did not happen on my old PowerBook G4. I have file extensions turned on in System Preferences.
    It should be noted that I have searched high and low and have even gone into the Apple Genius Bar where they were just confused as I was and of course ended by urging me to use Safari (shocker!) as it has all kinds of new extensions and bells and whistles. I seriously feel alone on an island with this dumb, hard to google problem. Thanks so much for any help anyone out there might have.
    I mean: is this as simple as changing a setting in about:config?
    Your assistance is greatly appreciated.

    Thanks for your response Mylenium, however like I mentioned multiple times, I did change all of my trackpad/scrolling settings in system preferences.  And if I wanted to use a normal mouse (or a tablet), I would've gotten an iMac instead of a MacBook Pro.  I travel often and work all over the place, not always with access to a decently sized workspace that would be required for using a mouse or tablet.

  • For some reason with pages program the cursor will no longer appear when I bring up a blank document, so I cannot start any typing.  Anyone else have this problem?

    With my ipages program for some reason now when I open a blank document no cursor appears so that I can start typing.  anyone else have this issu?

    I gather you have Pages '09? Even though you haven't said so. You definitely don't have "ipages".
    It sounds like you have opened a blank Layout template, which has nothing on the blank page for you to type into.
    Either insert a Textbox or Shape, or create a new document using a Word Processing template, they are listed in the Sidebar.

    In Aperture, go to preferences->Previews.  Ensure that "share previews with iLife and iWork" is set to "always" or "at exit."
    Also ensure all your photos have previews.

  • Help! .MOV movie no longer appears when view website (but it's on my iweb)

    Back in 2007 I created a .mov file which I published via my iwebsite. And has been visable by pulling up my webpage on the internet. (I am a tiger user and still using ilife06.) However, recently I modified that webpage and republished it.
    But now, when you pull up my website, you cannot see the .mov file, however, it's definitely still on my iwebsite. I was even at the MAC store yesterday for a one on one training session, and my seasoned trainer had never seen this before.
    I even created a new webpage and reposted that .mov file and re-published, and the movie still cannot be seen when pulling up my webpage thru the internet.. BUT, you can still see it as plain day when I go into my iweb icon on my computer.
    Question: I used a song from one of my CDS that was in my itunes libary as backdrop music for this .mov. The CD was one I purchased via a retail outlet a few years ago and not bought thru itunes... There isn't any issue with that, that could be causing this movie file to not post? food for thought?
    The only reason I mention this, was that I had created another .movie using another song from one of my retail purchased CDS and had tried to post it up on youtube, but Youtube dissallowed because of infringement.

    I suppose it's possible you're encountering the same restriction on your iWeb site that you had on YouTube — perhaps your web hosting service has recently increased its vigilance of copyright infringement. If that isn't the reason, it would still be worth reading the following article. Although it focuses upon podcasting, the same principles apply however you re-distribute music over the web without permission:

  • I updated the Firefox toolbar recently. Since then I've noticed the security symbol (padlock) no longer appears when on secure sites, e.g. making credit card payments card or on my bank website. Can this be corrected as it's reassuring to have it there?

    Nothing to add to question. Hope it's clear?

    Credit the-edmeister
    As of Firefox 4.0, the Statusbar is gone and the "lock" with it. Security information about a web page is shown by the Site Identity Button.
    The old padlock could give users a false sense that a site is secure by not supplying all of the information about a site and only showed that there is a secure connection that didn't guarantee that you are connected to the right server. The Site Identity Button was introduced in Firefox 3.0 to show more complete "identity" information for HTTPS web pages.

    You can add a padlock to the location bar with the Padlock add-on- https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/padlock-icon

  • ITunes volume lowers when I received Facebook chat message

    This just happened for the first time tonight. Whenever I receive a message on Facebook chat, my iTunes volume drops very far. I can still hear it, but barely. And a while after the message is sent it comes back to full volume.
    Is there some way I can turn this off? It's terribly annoying.

    Hi there,
    I think I found the answer. If you go to Control Panel, then hardware and sound. Click on Sound, then go to the communications tab. If I'm correct, what should be selected is that Windows reduces all other sounds by 80% when it detects communication activity. What I'm guessing is that the facebook chat 'pop' you hear is taken by Windows to be incoming communication warranting a reduction in sound. Change this to 'Do Nothing', and you should be all good.

  • Pop up appears when form is opened?

    I am new to JavaScript and I have the following script that I hope someone can help me with.
    I am using LiveCycle Designer 7.0 from Acrobat Professional. I am trying to validate the entry in a test field. I want to make sure that the four digit year is not less than the current year and can be a year in the future.
    My problem is when the form is opened in Reader the alert box pops up before the actual form. When I key in the field the validation seems to be working. What do I need to do to stop the alert from showing when the form is first opened?
    ----- form1.Alabama.Yr::validate - (JavaScript, client) -------------------
    var today = new Date();
    var year = today.getFullYear();
    if (this.rawValue === year || this.rawValue < year)
    app.alert("Year is not correct.");
    Yr.rawValue = null;
    Much thanks in advance.

    Hélène-
    Thanks for the detail regarding validation script, but I still am having a problem with it.
    I have tried what you told me (remove reset the value) the popup no longer appears when the form is opened. But the validation does not seen to be working. It is not working either in the validate or exit event. This is what I have now on that text field.
    ----- form1.#subform[0].Y::exit - (JavaScript, client) ---------------------------------------------
    //Verify year is current or year+1
    var today = new Date();
    var year = today.getFullYear();
    if (this.rawValue == year || this.rawValue == year+1)
    app.alert("Year is invalid.\n\nOnly current or next year is valid.");
    ----- form1.#subform[0].Y::validate - (JavaScript, client) -----------------------------------------
    //Final verification
    ScriptObject.ValidateField(event.target, this);
    This final verification script I have taken from the samples on the
    LiveCycle Developer Center (Validating field content in a form hosted in Adobe Acrobat).
    The alert only displays when 2007 or 2008 is entered. I am really confused now. I thought I had a handle on this with your explanation.
    I do not know where to go now. The Object Pallet is setup as:
    Field Tab
    Allow Plain Text Only and Limit Length are checked with a Max Chars: 4. Edit Pattern: 99999
    Value Tab
    Type: User Entered - Required
    Validation Pattern: 9999
    Validation Script Message is checked - in Message box Invalid Year.
    Binding Tab
    Default Binding: Normal
    Data Format: Plain Text
    I am hoping that you can explain what I have wrong.
    Thanks so much,

  • External/Remote Images no longer appear in Design View!

    Hi,
    First post here.
    Suddenly external/remote images in Dreamweaver CS3 no longer appear when viewed in Design View.
    All I get now is grey boxes!
    I have tried toggling 'Display External Files' on and off, made sure Cache is off (tried it with on too) and nothing seems to make a difference.
    If anyone could help please, it's so annoying
    Thanks,

    I'm an experienced web designer, 10+ years so you will have to trust me my code is fine.
    It just shows the grey boxes in place of where the images should be.
