Why is there a phone icon next to my ichat

why is there a phone icon next to my ichat?

Hi,
That depends where you are looking.
If you mean that at the top of a Buddy list next to your Buddy pic there is a green iCon and it is the Phone one rather than the Video camera one it means the Camera is either not connected or turned Off (See Video Menu)
Video icon (3 and 4 way chats) 
Audio icon for multiway chats.
Both these icons can appear "Flat" and not "Stacked" if you or the Buddy can only do 1-1 chats.
I have never set up the AIM forwarding to a Phone to know what appears at your end.
For Buddies that are mobile a sideways looking wifi type icon appears next to their name in your list.

  • Ok...so I have the latest version of iTunes...why isn't there a cloud icon next to the movie I just bought?  I assume I need it to download from iCloud.

    Ok...so I have the latest version of iTunes per response to my previous question.  Why isn't there a cloud icon next to the movie I just downloaded?  I assume that's the only way to access movies on the cloud.  ( My computer shows the icon.)

    What are you trying to do? If the movie is on your iPad, the cloud icon will not appear next to the movie. You will see the cloud icon next to the movie if you delete it from your iPad and then you can download it again. That is assuming that the movie is eligible for a free download as not every movie can be downloaded again for free.
    This is a screenshot of the purchased tab in iTunes on my iPad. These movies are already on my iPad so there is no cloud icon next to them for another download.
    What I don't understand is for what reason are you trying to access the movie? If you want to watch the movie, it is in the videos app. Maybe that is where I am missing the boat.

  • For iPhone 5 why is there a third opening next to the ear speaker on the white phone but not on the black phone.

    why is there a third opening next to the phone speaker (besides the camera) on the white iPhone 5 but not on the black version

    That's probably the ambient light sensor. It's on the black iPhone too, it's just not as visible.

  • Why are there suddenly two icons in my URL (Google Manage Requests and Facebook Manage Requests) that I cannot control?

    Hi Mozilla ~
    In the URL field of Firefox, there are two icons on the far right, just left of the pull-down arrow and refresh arrow. They appear to be for Google and Facebook, both with tooltips that say, "View and Manage Requests". The pull-down menu allows me to manage those Friend requests they link to, but "Move to Menu" and "Remove from Toolbar" are greyed out and not actionable.
    Q1 - How did they get there?
    Q2 - How can I stop them from being placed automatically in the future by these privacy-muggers?
    Q3 - What are they doing in the URL field?
    Q4 - If the right-click context/pull-down menu has greyed out the option of "Remove from Toolbar", how can I delete them?
    FWIW, I have accounts with Google and Facebook but trust neither and so have blocked them in every way possible from watching me, sending me notifications, doing anything "for" me, etc. My Add-Ons may be visible in my account, but generally they are related to organizing: "Group Tabs", "Bookmarks" or to my customized work process: "Send to Kindle", "HTTPS Everywhere" and "Disconnect Privacy". I hope that helps.
    In an online world of sharks and blood-suckers, I trust Mozilla to help me be safe. Thank you for helping me figure out what Google and Facebook are going in my URL field.
    I prepared a JPG to show what it looks like but there is no upload image function in this screen... and I cannot seem to drag-and-drop the file into this form field. Please advise.

    Hi - Thanks for responding.
    I've opened the Add-ons dialog and can confirm that I have both installed and enabled. I want them to stay this way, since I do not want either of them intruding on my privacy.
    That their icons have very recently (I only noticed them today) appeared in my URL field, and that they are seeking to push notifications of friend requests to me from that location, does not seem related to my use of the add-on that prevents them from tracking what websites I go to, which is what those two Disconnect add-ons seek to provide.
    Further insight and advice appreciated. I see there is a way to add an image to my concern, so here goes.
    Thanks again

  • Why are there 2 iPhoto icons in launch pad

    In launch pad, there are 2 iPhoto (v9.3.1) icons; in Finder Applications folder there is one iPhoto icon.  Both icons start in the same library and both appear identical v9.3.1.  Why does this happen, and what can I do to remove one of the iPhoto icons in launch pad?

    LaunchPad is part of the OS and you're best asking that question here

  • Why is there a number in ( ) next to my Computer name?

    I just noticed that my Computer name at the top of the Devices list in Finder has a (2) next to it, in other words -----'s Computer (2)
    Anyone have an idea why this has happened?

    Hi,
    My First Admin account on my G4 was base on my Name (As I entered it in the Set Up Assistant)
    I did the same on my MacBook Pro and ended up with two computer's called Ralph Johnss Computer (Written with the double s that to the software)
    I used The Address Book (My Card) to change the User's Info there as iChat uses that for the Bonjour List.
    I used System Preferences > Network > Advanced Button > WINS to change the NetBOIS Name.
    I have also used the System Preferences > Sharing to change the .local name.
    Some of these need more care than others in changing, such as the .local name, as other issues can arise.

  • Why is there a safari icon on my lock screen sometimes?

    Why does the Safari icon appear on my and my wife's lock screen in the lower left corner sometimes (iPhones 5s and iPad Air)?  When my wife sees it on her phone, she is able to click it and see my Safari activity.

    To turn off Handoff on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, go to Settings > General > Handoff & Suggested Apps, and turn off Handoff.
    On your Mac, go to System Preferences > General and uncheck the Allow Handoff setting.

  • Just bought and downloaded an app. Why is there is no icon?

    I bought log me in in the app store and downloaded it but it did not appear as an icon. What do I do?

    Hey ericfromaptos,
    The same thing happened to me yesterday.  I purchased KitchenPad Timer for my iPad 2 but it did not sync or show up on my iPad (It's not on any screen.  I have 2 screens of apps it's not on either screen).  It's not located on ITunes left index "Apps",  it's not on my iPad on iTunes's left index "DEVICES" under the Apps menu bar.  When i try to add the app to my wish list I get:
                             Previously purchased items cannot be added to your Wish List
                             You have already purchased this item. If you can't find it in
                             your iTunes library, make sure it's been downloaded by
                             selecting Check for Available Downloads from the Store
                             menu.
    I tried that too, but no luck.  I did not get an email purchase confirmation notice either.  I'm hoping it shows up in the next day or two.

  • Elements 12 why are there no adjustment icons in my adjustement tab when i open it

    Hi all
    I used to use an old version from a printer bundle and recently bought V12.
    I am sure originally in the right hand panel there was a "button" which when clicked opened a window which showed all the adjustment functions by icon - I have lost it?
    It I use the main menu and "windows" > "adjustments" it opens the same or very similar window as I used to have, it is empty ( I do have an image loaded with layers), if I click the top right 3 bar icon the drop down shows all the functions and I can select and run any one in turn.
    I have struggled to find he original very handy window - perhaps I dreamt it.
    All of this is in expert mode, but I have checked the other modes with no joy, they obviously have the items in the panel but in the simplified for of sliders etc.
    any help please
    cheers

    Hi,
    Can you remember which version the old one was?
    The Adjustments windows only shows the setting controls for any adjustment layer selected - it will normally be automatically displayed when you create a new adjustment layer or double click on an existing adjustment layer.
    If you have the layer panel open, there is an adjustment icon there, which if you click on, will open a list of adjustment layers that you can add ion text form not icons.
    That's about the nearest I can get to what I think you want.
