Why can my buddy see me online, but I can't see him?
For the last 2-3 weeks I have not been able to see my buddy online, but he sees me online. He can call me, but I can't call him because it says he is offline. I have checked all the preferences and I don't have him blocked anywhere. Any suggestions as to how I can fix this? We've been using ichat for a year and this just suddenly happened one day. Thanks.
Hi,
This is more common with AIM type names (@mac.com, @me.com and AIM names) than with Jabber ones.
Apple is not the only company to have an Agreement with AIM about having email type names recognised as valid AIM Screen Names (in most cases they are ISPs and real emails and it is only the @mac.com and AIM names that might not be email addresses)
This may mean that the AIM servers cannot check a Buddy List properly as to who is On line.
It may also be a sync issue across several AIM servers (Not everyone is logged in to the same server)
If it is an "AIM" Buddy List then go to the Home Folder/Library/Preferences and delete com.apple.ichat.AIM.plist and restart iChat

from some reason (i'm not sure why..) my whole iphoto library got deleted. I restored the whole library from my backup. Now all the photos are blank but steel have the photo info. (date, res., size etc.) Do you know what's the prob.? why can't i see my pics.
It's says that file does not exist. How come? And why does it still show the image info.?
Where can i find those files (i have a daily backup)
The original image files are missing form your iPhoto library or iPhoto cannot find them, because the link to the originals has been broken. The image info is stored in the internal libraries, independent of the original files. That is, why you are still seeing them.
I restored the whole library from my backup.
Try restoring from an older backup, from before you first noticed the problem.
How large is the library, that you restored? Is the file size large enough to hold all your photos, or has the size been reduced? If the library is still large, the photos may still be inside, even if iPhoto cannot find them.
It's says that file does not exist. How come?
What happened, before your iPhoto library got deleted? Which applications have you been running, or which new software have installed or upgraded? Have you moved the library to a different disk or tried to use it from different user account or access it over the network? -

Have you checked the recycle bin? can you recover from card? No 2nd copy/backup? (shame on you).
You can try recovering Lr preview, but I recommend it only as LAST resort:

I took some videos using my iPhone 5c and uploaded them to my computer. I can play the videos in iPhoto, but when I open them in QuickTime, they are dark and silent. Why can't I see them in QuickTime?
Make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Select the options identified in the screenshot.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

Why can't I see the purchase history from the ipad? I mean, I can buy apps and in game content directly from my iPad, but I have have to install iTunes on my PC to see the purchase history? What kind of deal is that?
Welcome to Apple Communities
You don't need to install iTunes for the purchase history. You can see it in your iPad (iTunes > Purchased), but you need to install it if you want the order numbers -

Why can I see photos in photo view, but now event view?
Why can I see photos in photo view, but not in event view. The event shows up, but when I open the event, it says there are no photos in the event. The only way I can actually open a photo in the event is to be in photo view, and open the photo from that view.
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

Why can I chat with a buddy but not add them to my Buddy list?
I'm using iChat 4.0.2 with OS 10.5.2.
I add a particular buddy to my list but the name fades in and out and then disappears all together in a few seconds. No matter how many times and ways I try, I cannot add them to my buddy list and get them to stay. I can add other buddies to my list normally.
During the time I can see this particular buddy's name in my buddy list, if I'm quick enough before they fade out, I can click to connect and chat perfectly. I can also request to view video with them and have them accept and view normally. However, if this buddy sends a video request to me, I hear the ring but then an instantaneous message window appears saying that the buddy "cancelled the invitation".
Interestingly, after connecting with this particular buddy, I can maintain their text chat window and text chat as normal. This buddy is using iChat 3.1.9 and OS 10.4.11.
Any help or ideas with how to keep this buddy in my list would be appreciated.Interesting.
I would have gone the iChat > Preferences > Accounts > Security and just checked the Block list first.
com.apple.ichat.Subnet holds the sort order and Allow/Block lists
Setting the Preference to Allow All and then checking the Allow option and possibly the Block list would change the Subnet.plist anyway.
For some the Flashing/disappearing Buddy is a result of iChat 4's response to Feedbag Error 10
Feedbag errors are AIM codes for problems with the Buddy List.
In this case it is adding a Screen name with a Real name option and that Real Name is already in the Address Book.
To restate.
I would leave the deletion of com.apple.ichat.Subnet.plist (as this will remove all those that may be in your Block list) until all other options have been exhausted.

Can I buy myself an iTunes gift card from my own US iTunes account? Tried to do this online but transaction could not be completed. Response I got was to contact Apple iTunes Support. Please help.
If you haven't already done so then you will need to do as the message says and contact iTunes Support (these are user-to-user forums, we won't know why you are getting the contact message) :
- go to http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/ww
- click on your country's flag
- click on the Contact Support at the bottom of the left-hand column
- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page
- then Purchases, Billing & Redemption
