What does it mean if someone's ID no longer appears in Search?

I was chatting with someone for over a month and suddenly he disappeared. I did some checking and I know I am not blocked. I have another Skype account so I used that to look him up on Search and found his ID no longer exists. What does this mean? Was his account deleted?

Finding a pirated app -
When a stranger's Apple ID appears on your Mac in conjunction with an update for an app that you have never installed, you have a pirated app on your Mac. This pirated app has been cracked with the MAS receipt from a free app acquired by the person whose Apple ID you see. The pirated app is not the app asking to be updated.
You may not have realized that it was a pirated app when you installed it. You may have believed that it was a trail version or a "free" version.
All MAS apps have a MAS receipt in their app bundle. Check any app acquired from the MAS. Right click on the app's icon in your Apps folder and choose Show package contents. In the Contents folder is a _MASReceipt folder and in that folder is the coded MAS receipt. It has the Apple ID of the MAS account that bought/acquired the app from the MAS. It is that receipt that the MAS uses to alert you that an app has an update. There would not be a notice of an update with someone else's Apple ID showing in the MAS on your Mac, if there was not an app with a receipt from this person's account somewhere on your Mac.
Download the free app FindAnyFile (FAF);
http://apps.tempel.org/FindAnyFile/
This app is easier to use and seems to be more powerful than Spotlight. Open FAF and in the box type _MASReceipt and press Find. It should come up with a list of every app on the Mac with a MAS receipt. Compare the apps with receipts in FAF's list with your purchased apps list in the Mac App Store. The odd app out should be the pirated app.

TS3992 what does it mean that my iphone will no longer back up to my computer automatically when i sync with itunes?

What does it mean that "my iphone will no longer back up to my computer automatically when I sync with itunes", if I turn my icloud backup to "on"? This doesnt sound like something that will make things smoother? I just recently lost all my calendar events and I am hoping to recover them.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You can either back up to iTunes or to iCloud, you you choose to back up to iCloud, back up to iTunes will be turned off. Personally, I'd always back up to iTunes unless there is a good reason not to you.

What does it mean when someone in your contacts list is blue and has a person ign on it?

I updated my iPod yesterday to version 6.1.3 and then a few minutes later, I looked at my contacts list and I had all of my mom's contacts and mine. I deleted them from my iPod and then on her phone all of my contacts appeared, along with 3 of hers. I looked at her name in my iPod and it apeared to be blue. How do I fix this? How can I get my mom's contacts back? The same thing happened with our reminders and notes. I don't know if this happende to other applications.

I have logged in to manage my account, change password and i can do all of that.
Since you can access your account details and change your password try this...
Launch iTunes. From the iTunes menu bar click iTunes / Preferences then select the Advanced tab.
Click: Reset warnings & Reset cache.
Restart your computer and restart your iPhone.
Try updating your apps.

What does it mean when your computer says that someone is using your IP address

What does it mean when someone is using your IP address and what should i do...

Expanding on Bob's explanation, be sure you haven't set a manual IP address, thus being the culprit for this problem. In System Preferences / Network / Advanced... / TCP/IP section, Configure IPv4 should be set to Using DHCP. If that is not the case, then some network miscreant has purloined the IP address your Mac was using.
First try clicking on the Renew DHCP Lease and see if the DHCP server figures it out and assigns a different address. Else, try disconnecting from the network (if on Wi-Fi, turn Wi-Fi off in the previous window, if cabled disconnect the patchcord), wait a little while and reconnect. Then hopefully the DHCP server will realize the address was purloined and assign a different one.

Don't buy it. It's likely a stolen iPad.
They should have done this.

what does all this mean?
thanks
mrredrunner100

i got my friend to message this person to see if they had the same problem, and the message went through and i think he got a reply, and all of a sudden this has started to work again (calls only) but apparently none of my messages went through that i have sent since the block activated. and they still havent even though there working again, and "apparently" a message was sent to me at 9pm today and it has never arrived. so imessage and text still isnt working, before i go asking this person about this, is this a genuine block or is there a phone problem?

If it isn't from something you did (like update iOS on an iPhone, or activate a new iPhone), then yes, I would be suspicious.

TS2310 what does it mean when you're about to install itunes and it says This update requires OS X version 10.6.8 or later.??? i don't understand... Can someone please explain to me what that means...??? And how to fix it.

1. It means exactly what it says. Apple dropped support for earlier Mac OS X versions in iTunes 10.7.
2. Update the computer to 10.6.8. If it's running a Mac OS X version prior to 10.6, this requires buying a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD from the online Apple Store, which requires an Intel Mac with at least 1GB of RAM.

That's a country code. Are you sending it to someone outside of the US or who is using a foreign carrier? Their carrier is prefixing the phone number with the country code for your phone number.

When you say an email from Apply, do you mean that the sender is named "Apply"? If so, what is their full email address (e.g. [email protected])?

The video orientation is included with the video's EXIF data and the same for photos. It is that state of the art OS your computer is running that doesn't recognize or completely ignores the EXIF orientation data.
This link applies to photos but whatever Windoze application you are using to view videos should provide the same or similar.

You must be running Windows. AMD is a service that needs to be running in order to sync your phone. You need to start it as described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1567.
