Why do i appear online to me but offline to my buddies?

All of my buddies say I am offline and occasionally, they say I'm on but most of the time I am not. Does anyone know why?

Hi,
There are several wasy this can happen.
1) Using the Invisible Status Option
2) Having a Buddy who does not have you in their Buddy list whilst they have Allow Buddy List only in the security settings in the iChat Preferences > Accounts.
3) You having the same settings without them in the list (if they are not in your List they cannot see you as On Line.
4) Same for both ends with the Allow Specific People and not having the Buddy in the List
5) Trying Out Parental Controls in another Mac Account and not Allowing those Buddies.
Until You add one Buddy all Buddies are Blocked.
Once one is added then all the rest become non "Allow Specific People (i.e Only the added ones are in the allow List)
Even if you do this in another Mac User Account but use the same iChat info your Buddy list will be flagged so when you return to your regular Mac User Account iChat is still effected.
6) Parental Controls anyway.
7) Using another app or another login and changing settings there.
See the setting in iChat > Preferences > General section about Logging your Status to Off Line on Quit
This means even if you Quit iChat and have this item unticked you are left partially Logged in.
A Web Login to AIM Express for example has a default 2 week period for this and may be overriding your iChat settings.
8) Consider Mobile Phone (Beejive or AIM Express)
9) There is some anecdotal evidence that linking some AIM lists through social Networking chat options (Google, Facebook) can cause issues.
10) You will be glad to know I have no number 10 on this

Why do songs appear in itunes match but not play?

Ive got loads of duplicate song titles appearing in Song list in Music on iPad, but only one plays of the duplicates 'works'. The other is phantom, and causes continuous play to stall. Solutions please.
BTW I've tuned Match off on my devices as it is more hassle than it is worth.

Do you mean that the songs are being skipped by your devices when iTunes Match is on? Cause I believe I am having the same issue. Turning off iTunes Match and reloading all the music back on your devices from scratch fixes that, until you turn back on iTunes Match and the problem results again.
Doesn't appear to be a permanent fix. I've been looking.

Media Online in Premiere but Offline in Encoder - CS4

I am currently working on a project in Premiere Pro CS4. The project is one mpeg-4 file split up into multiple parts. I can view the video perfectly fine in Premiere, but when I encode the video in Adobe Media Encoder, the "Media Offline" placeholder is displayed over the video. I have never had this issue before, and all of my other videos are encoding fine when tested. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. I have tried various methods to get this to work, and nothing is working yet.

Hi -
This would occur if you rendered the timeline prior to taking the actual media off-line. You are likely seeing the rendered clips playback from your render scratch disk. You can't export a quicktime of the timeline because it will try to find the original media files to create that exported media.
What you can do, however, is play the timeline out to an appropriate recording device (like a DV camera if the original footage was DV) and record the output. Then, capture that recording. You'll now have the timeline media as a clip, that you can re-edit.
Hope this helps.

My iChat won't send or receive messages. It shows as online to me but offline to other users.

I have just gotten a new mac and I'm trying to set up my ichat. I went through the normal ichat process to set it up but it won't send or receive messages or let me add a buddy.

Hi,
So iChat is Launched.
You can se a Buddy List fror what ever Screen Name type this is ?
However although it reads Available at Your end anyone beyond your Mac Firewall and the Routing device do not see you as On Line ?
Have yoiu set up several Screen Name /Buddy Lists ?
Is one set to Invisible ?
Are they linked in to one list via the setting in iChat Menu > Preferences > General Section ?

Why do only some photos appear in iCloud folder on my PC and not all taken on iPhone appear on iPad either? All settings seem correct and new photos now seem to be appearing on all devices, but not all older or recent photos

Why do only some photos appear in iCloud folder on my PC and not all taken on iPhone appear on iPad either? All settings seem correct and new photos now seem to be appearing on all devices, but not all older or recent photos, even if taken at same time. All advice greatly appreciated.

First, to access documents you must use an app designed for that specific Document type. So Pages will not be able to open PDFs. The Documents app by Readdle can handle PDFs though. In the latter case, you'd open the app, click the menu icon at its top left, and click Open to go to your iCloud Drive. With Pages, if you had files outside the main Pages folder, click + then iCloud and navigate to the file's location.

Using mountain lion, why does it take so long for mail to show up? messages appear on my iphone but not on my iMac

Using mountain lion on iMac. Email appears on my iPhone but when I open mail on desktop the messages aren't there and take several minutes before they appear. Thoughts as to why this happens? Anyone else experiencing this too?

Thank you. Check for new msgs is set for every minute. However, I got your message on my iPhone and it still hasn't appeared on iMac.

When I download software updates why do they appear on the desktop (and in devices) and not get saved to the HD (I click install to HD but they don't go there)

Double-click the white Adobe Reader Icon to open a new windows.
Double-Click the "Adobe Reader X Installer.pkg" file inside.
If it has already been installed it will notify you and say that it has been installed already.
If you no longer have those files go here to get the latest version of Adobe Reader.
http://get.adobe.com/reader/
Let me know how that all goes and if you have any hang ups.
ON TO THE NEXT POINT OF INTEREST
It sounds to me from researching the other white 'icon' you have that you are trying to install a copier by the brand of Rico Aficio.
Possibly the Aficio 2090/2105.
If so the install CD/Driver download for that copier must have also wanted you to install Adobe Reader to view the User Guides/ Documentation included.
If you are trying to install said device then double click the white icon labeled Ricoh_Aficio...double click the installer file inside of that.
It should run a setup/install window like Adobe Reader did then go from there. If it has already been install also you can go to your System Preferences -> Printers to see if it installed correctly and is working properly.
You can get to system preferences by clicking the Apple icon very upper left on your screen and selecting it from the drop down.

Why when I publish template to FCPX the design appears as a thumbnail but the view shows the red warning screen with the Number 2?

why when I publish template to FCPX the design appears as a thumbnail but the view shows the red warning screen with the Number 2?

That is priceless!!! Thanks! I sure needed a good laugh after spending/wasting hours & days trying to either get my c6280 to give up on its Ink System Failure fixation, or find a decent replacement. Unfortunately I need the Smart Web Printing feature that I guess only HP has, or I'd try a different brand. And now even HP has very few models with that available.
My error msg is a little different from those previously stated, but close: 0xc18a0201. Even tho there were frustrations with my c6280, I did like several of its unique features which are hard to find now under $100. I hate how HP (& I suppose other brands also) are CONSTANTLY changing models & then of course ink cartridges.
Oh heavens, I've had the c6280 a whopping 2 1/2 years! I'm sure they want us poor slobs to have to buy a new one every year & a day! To say nothing of the exorbitant prices for ink. And now if this one is really dead in the water, I have SIX unused #02 ink cartridges which I cannot return---I got them in a combo pack, & for some reason have wound up with THREE lite pink & THREE lite blue cartridges, while having to buy extras of the other colors, that ran out before the others!!! Yeah, & what's with that not being able to print in BLACK if a color runs out????
Anyway I really loved your essay! It's a classic! And says it all! I hate that we have to be 'slaves' to the electronic 'wonders'!!!

Why do some Apps(programs) appear in my dock, but not in my launch pad?

I recently downloaded Open Office and Adobe Photo Shop 12 . Photo shop appears in both my dock and launch pad. However Appace Open Office just appears in my dock, but not my launch pad, and also the open office little disk or cd reader icon (white 3d rectangle with image of black slot in front) appears on the right side of my screen. I can't eject it because I get a popup that says it is being used by "Open Office" and I have to quit the application to eject it. My question is if I quit the application using "Command" Q and then eject "Open Office" will I loose open office and have to downlad it again?
I think I answere my question.
I clicked on the Open Office Icon in my dock, had it go to "Finder" then ejected the "Open Office" disck reader icon and it went away from my screen.
I then went to "Finder" and opened it up and Lo and Behold "Open Office" disappeared from there too. Boy that sure is crappy.
So I downloaded it again.
Is there anyway to clean up the desktop so I don't have those silly images hanging around?

There have always, well for the past few years, written installers that just create a mess. All installed applications should appear in Finder, Applications. Not all of those will appear in Launchpad. When you encounter one that does not appear in the correct way, all you can do is manually move things around so it is consistent with the way apps should work.

IPad Air does not appear online when using "Find my Phone"

Curious why my iPad Air appears "offline" in the Find my Phone app when it is in sleep mode. All of my other devices (iPhone 5 & iPhone 4) both appear online (and on the map) even though they are sleeping.
All devices are running ios7 and are connected to the same wifi network.

Hey there MntnBikeCT,
It sounds like you have the iPad Air setup with Find my iPhone but you are not able to locate with the app on a different device, but other devices work just fine. I suggest these steps from the article named:

ITunes Match doesn't work at times- in the same room (on Wifi) I will add a song to my playlist on the iMac- instantly it appears on my iPad but not on my iPhone 6plus

ITunes Match is extremely unpredictable- in the same room of my house on the same WiFi- all my devices are up to date (software wise). I will add a song on my iMac 27". To a playlist I created- Instantly the song shows in the playlist on my IPad Air2. But it does NOT show in my playlist on my iPhone 6plus- I reboot everything- even do a hard-wired sync- it just won't appear- sometimes- frustrated with the time I am wasting I just email (from my iMac) the song to myself so that I can play it on my iPhone 6Plus- I create a lot of music on my iMac using Logic Pro- and there are times I want to have the process (songs in the marking) available on my iPhone so I can play them while driving, etc., extremely frustrating as this issue is very new - had no problems for months and months but now I do- I rebooted everything (phone, etc.,) created a new play list-and then it appeared on the iPhone in the new playlist- BUT if I want to add a song to the new playlist- same situation- never appears on the iPhone but does appear on my iPad IMac and MacBook Pro- ITunes Match is turned on- I am on the same WiFi FAST network at my house- Any ideas ?

Hi Rob- I'm guessing it has something to do with all the update stuff Apple keeps doing (with Yosemite, etc.,) extremely frustrating - also whenever I load up iTunes on any of my devices- I am asked to enter my passcode- which I will do- then I am asked to do it 2 or 3 more times - right after the other- crazy how annoying something like that can be- I have looked online for solutions- i.e. close out of the account, reset the passcode- all of it- nothing seems to fix that situation either- what I have discovered (playing around) is on my iPhone 6+ if I go to settings and turn OFF iTunes match- then turn it back ON- suddenly all the music that wasn't loaded shows up magically- but I had to do that each time I'd update songs in my playlist on the iMac- then go to the iPhone and turn off the match- then turn it back on- almost like it is resetting things-

I have installed the agent 10 or 15 times and one installation has failed, no error appeared during the installation but I am having inconsistent issues with my ethernet card not working here and there. We rebooted and can log into Novell client but the login prompt did not appear for ESM client or the icon was not in the systray. Everything seems to work, besides at times (a couple times today) it terminates his ethernet card/connection. I would re-image his computer but he has several applications and it would take several hours, so I am hoping someone has an idea to fix this issue. So I was trying to figure out why he did not get the prompt to login and why it's not in the systray and it appears to not have completed the install? I checked the add/remove programs, its not listed within their, I also checked the registry and found nothing for endpoint within their, but the files are within c:\program files\novell\zenworks endpoint security.
I have also tried uninstalling it but that fails due to it "not being installed", and it will not reinstall over itself either.
I did notice that stuninstdrv.exe is running in task manager. Any help would be great...

If you are searching the registry, check for the "Senforce" string. It should be at HKLM\Software\Senforce
Try running the install program for the ZSC with the following command line:
setup.exe /V"STUNINSTALL=1"
If you've specified an uninstall password, try this one instead:
setup.exe /V"STUNINSTALL=1 STUIP=password"" (please note the double quote at the end)
Let me know if that helped you.

When an image is inserted here using clipboard, it appears in the editor, but it does not appear in

when an image is inserted here in forum po editor using clipboard, it appears in the editor, but it does not appear in the post. When the image is inserted from a file, it works

Im not completely sure, why you are pointing out the very same thing I'm pointing out too. If you re-read my original post thoroughly, you will find - at its very end - the sentence "When the image is inserted from a file, it works". Since I'm not aware of the way how to insert the image from a file in a procedure other, then clicking the "camera" icon, I hold such a sentence for more then enough to point out, that the camera icon works fine for me (if you re-read my post thoroughly and pay detailed attention of my expression "using clipboard", then you shall definitely evaluate this expression as covering both ways an image can reach the cliboard, eg. Copying from a graphical editor/processor or dragging&dropping a graphical file).
However more then this, your post does in fact NOT reply to the fact, why the WYSIWYG editor box allows the insertion of an image from clipboard, but then fails to upload it and thus it is not displayed in the post.
For the sake of completness, I must also point out, that your last sentence of your post "And that's what it is there for" does not bring much clarity about that thing - while I fully understand, as one can observe from my "When the image...it works" sentence, the functionality, purpose and propper handling of the "camera" icon, I cannot agree with such a behaviour of the editor, that allows an operation to be done (What You See) that does not affect the outcoming result (Is What You Get).
From the theory of designing (G)UIs one may learn, that in such a case the operation should either fulfill completly (eg. display the clipboard-inserted image in the resulting post) or fail completly in the beginning (when Pasting the image into the text), either silently (just not displaying the image in the editor field) or with an error warning such as "Insertion of images/bitmaps from clipboard is not permitted". For Windows-like environments (such as, but not limited to, Microsoft Explorer, KDE, Gnome, IceWm....) the change of the dragging cursor to display a kind of "No way" or "no entry" pictogram, is also advisable.
For the sake of completness of my reaction I also might percieve your last sentence as a kind of irony or sarcasm, which however I definitely do not find appropriate behaviour, more over I might call it an "arogant rudeness" in case of such a "VIP" member with more then 9000 posts in the time when this post is being written, with a hint of overworking, malicous intends, inattention, ego-centricism or any other personal failure(s) or a combination of them, that you should - in case they are present - definitely pay attention to in your private life.
Moreover, let me please point out, that Im not much pleased about the way this forum works with its users, since I find the bug I have discovered, only a small one (a category B one might say in the A-B-C scheme, eg. a category, that does not directly influence or prohibit the execution of the main business cases, however it may result in discomfort, data loss or operation repetition, such a category would be most possibly a category C in the A-B-C-D scheme). Therefore I must explicitly express my annoyance that you have the guts to handle the post I did like this, when - in my opinion - the post has been written in such a manner that it was merly a polite point out of a small bug, thus it was kept as brief as possible, but fully covering the description of the scenario, alternate scenarios and their outcomes. Moreover, I'm definitely displeased, that you allow yourself to post such a post, that - instead of exploring the matter - throws the whole matter on the head and inside-out, or, one may say, kicks the bucket, and forces the original author, in this case me, for re-accounting for himself, moreover the ambivalency of your post opens such many possibilities to account for, that the time and resources the self-accounting autor has to spent, heavily overweighting the importance, significance and impact of the bug itslef.
So let me please advise you for the next time:
- to explore posts with more thoroughness, evaluating their expressions and sentences much more deeply, rather then just glance through on their surface
- think twice before answering and try to figure out how such answer might be percieved
- try to do less posts, but with higher quality
- try to employ more politeness and correct behaviour
- approach the matter with more humble and curious attitude rather then with a "I-know-everyting-better" standpoint
With regards
Lukas Plachy
