Won't add contact?

I'm trying to add my girlfriend as a contact. I put her AIM in the 'Add Buddy' box and she shows up for a little bit kinda flashing for about 3 seconds, and then goes away. What am I doing wrong?

Ok,
Go to iChat > Preferences > Accounts > Security Setting tabs and check she has not been added to the Block list.
You did try the Double .plists removal and restart iChat ?
The final most sever is to Quit iChat.
Open Applications/Utilities and Start Activity Monitor and then find iChatAgent and use the red button to Quit and confirm Force Quit in the Pop up.
The problem seems to be caused when iChat can not login properly to the AIM servers or getting a partial login whilst the AIM servers are out of Synch.
Some of this info is then held in the .plists and the problem seems to perpetuate from then on.
It did seem that they were three distinct levels to this but now those seem to be becoming blurred.

    Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
    Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts   Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

  • FaceTime not working on my Macbook Pro. I am able to sign in successfully and add contacts.  When I try to call a contact with an iPhone, its connecting then fails.  When someone try to FaceTime me,I try to access but it says connecting then fail

    FaceTime not working on my Macbook Pro. I am able to sign in successfully and add contacts.  When I try to call a contact with an iPhone, it says connecting then fails by ending automatically.   When someone try to FaceTime me,I accept but it says connecting then fail.  I only have a MacBook Pro to FaceTime and not an iPhone.  I was informed that I should be able to FaceTime from my laptop via video call without an iPhone.
    Please advise.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    1. The purpose of this test is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account. Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault in OS X 10.7 or later, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The "Guest User" login created by "Find My Mac" is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    2. Connect to a different network, such as a public Wi-Fi hotspot, and try again.

  • GE 31591 won't get contacts.

    I just got this phone.   It won't retrieve my contacts.    I can add a skypout contact if it has a different name from other names in my "real" contact list, but if I logout and login again, even that gets lost.
    Something is very wrong here. --- Matt Temple

    Just got this phone today and mine won't retrieve contacts either. Also, I noticed in the owners manual, the pages from page 28 - 61 (which have the contact instructions) are missing. I went online and found the manual and this phone was supposed to download contacts automatically. They clearly knew it was defective which is why we got it so cheap. The removed the paperwork and sold the phone at a loss. To me its just a paperweight now. pure garbage. Typical of my experience with Skype, by the way. You can complain but no one will reply.

  • Yahoo! Mail Account Won't Add After Restore

    After restoring my iPad through iTunes, my Yahoo! Mail account won't add back. When I restored, restoring from a backup crashed my iPad so I created a new one and lost all my data. I go to Settings > Mail Contacts And Calendars > Add Account > Yahoo! I type in all my data, I know the password is correct because I can log in on Safari. I tap the next button and it presents me with the error dialog "Server Unavailable, please try again later." I must have tried this 20+ times. I've waited for weeks and it has been to no avail. Please help.

    I found out that older Yahoo! accounts no longer work on iOS devices. You'll have to update to the latest version of Yahoo! mail. Unfortunatly, some people (including me) can't update to the latest version at this point in time. It's understandable because I've had m Yahoo! account since 1998. Maybe they dropped support for updating?
    This discussion is now closed.
    Thanks,

    Because they choose not to.

  • When I add contacts from text messages they don't show up in my Contacts list.

    Right, I hope I didn't miss another thread. Nothing appears in my contacts list when I try to save numbers from text messages. The only way to save a contact is to type it manually. But the "save to contacts" option is there, so where is it actually saving all those numbers ?

    Hey Xyz321Abc,
    Thanks for the question. Let’s check to make sure all of your groups are being displayed. It is possible that your new contacts are defaulting to a group that is hidden. With the Contacts application open, do the following to make sure that all groups are checked:
    Show or hide a group. Tap Groups, then select the groups you want to see. This button appears only if you have more than one source of contacts.

  • My iPhone's number won't add itself to iMessage or FaceTime!

    My new phone number is greyed out and not available to be selected for iMessage or FaceTime.  I've changed my iMessage/FaceTime phone number in the past without any issue, but now this new one won't add!  I've tried logging out of ALL devices and logging back in, but it didn't help.  No matter what I do, I can't select my telephone number to be active for iMessage/FaceTime!
    Here's some background:
    First phone number on an iPhone 3GS with AT&T:  Phone number worked fine on iMessage!
    Took my iPhone 3GS (unlocked) to Straight Talk Wireless (a Tracfone prepaid service branded for Wal-Mart) with a NEW number:  Phone number worked fine on iMessage!
    Upgraded to iPhone 5 (locked to T-Mobile) on Straight Talk Wireless (with T-Mobile-compatible SIM) with the SAME Straight Talk Wireless phone number:  Phone number worked fine on iMessage!  This newer iPhone also introduced FaceTime and my number worked fine on that too!
    Took the same iPhone 5 to Brightspot Wireless (a T-Mobile prepaid service branded for Target Stores) and got a NEW phone number:  This new number will NOT add to iMessage or FaceTime no matter what I do!  It stays grayed out and cannot be selected!
    I have other Apple devices that also use iMessage and/or FaceTime:
    iMac on OS X Yosemite Beta with both iMessage & FaceTime
    iPhone 4S on iOS 8.0.2 used only as a glorified iPod Touch (kept on Airplane Mode with WiFi only -- it has an inactive dummy SIM so it would activate in iTunes and operate normally) with both iMessage & FaceTime
    iPhone 3GS on iOS 6.1.3 (the same as used before with Straight Talk Wireless) now only used as a glorified iPod Touch (kept on Airplane Mode with WiFi only -- this one still has its most recent Straight Talk Wireless SIM in it so it would activate after its restore in iTunes and operate normally) with iMessage only (no FaceTime)
    In case it matters, the iPhone 5 in question (with the phone number that won't add) is on iOS 7.1.2.
    People have my new number but it's not going to all my devices when another iDevice sends me an iMessage and it's really frustrating for this to not work properly!  My only thought is that my iPhone 5's custom APN settings keep erasing themselves after a restart or a loss in signal, causing me to have no MMS or data (except WiFi) until I type the settings back in.  I can see why this might make me temporarily disconnected from Apple's servers, but I don't see why it won't add the phone number in the first place!  Please help!

    I have the same issue... tried logging out of iMessages and FaceTime on all devices, reset network settings, start again from the iPhone which number i want to connect etc., but to no avail. It keeps being greyed out and I'm unable to select it no matter what...
    O, and whats more frustrating, people are sending me iMessages to the number in question (like when they use the phone number and not the email address), the iMessage goes through from their side, but I never get it on any of my devices! Many people have asked me why I'm not responding to their messages and I have no idea they even sent me!

  • My ipod isnt letting me add contacts at all i open it up and then i see the   sign but a second later it goes away

    Iam wondering how i can some how fix it so i can add contacts again...do i need to restore it??
    Anyone have anyclue how to fix this!?!?

    You'll have to restore your iPod as new.  If you restore your iPod and then restore it from the backup you'll just be putting the problem right back on it.

    how can I add contacts in my iphone that are backuped in a pim file in my pc

    You have to get them from the file you have into iCloud, google, yahoo, outlook.com, AOL, an Exchange server, or some other service the phone can sync with, or into MS Outlook on your PC. Then you can sync them to the phone.

  • Add Contact's Email and Phone to the Lead result list on WEB UI

    Hello All,
    My requirement is to add Contact's Phone number and Email on Lead result list.
    Technical details:
    BT108S_LEA(Comp)
    BT108S_LEA/Result (View)
    RESULT (CN)
    I have enhanced context node ' Result ' and added new field through wizard (Ex: ContactPhone) using following details.
    add model attribute:
    BOL entity: BuilContactPerson
    BOL Attribute: TEL1_NUMBR
    After the successful creation, i added ContactPhone field from available fields to display fields.now i could able to see the newly added field on Lead result list.i see message 'BTPARTNER not bound' under telephone colomn for each record.
    Can we add these two fields from standard BOL structure and use it , so that no coding required, system will take care of data retrieval?
    or should i go with adding custom fields and write logic to get the data for each lead's contact?
    please help me with  approach and on above error.
    Thanks
    Gangareddy

    Hi Ganga,
    Since these fields are in a table view, its not possible to bind them with the standard BuilHeader BOL Object. Hence, we need to write the custom logic for these methods.
    You have two options here.
    Option 1:
    Add the fields in the result structure and modify the Genil Search class logic and replace the standard GENIL class with custom class.
    Option 2:
    Create the custom attribute directly in the BOL structure and write the custom logic in getter method.
    Hope this helps.
    Thanks

  • ITunes crashed during "Get Info" now the movie won't add to the library

    Hi all,
    I've been using iTunes with my Apple TV for over a year now, and this is the first time this has happened, and I'm at a loss on what to do to remedy it.
    I added a number of movies to my iTunes (as i have done a number of times before), and selected them all, and clicked on Get Info, to move them from "Home Movies" to "Films", nothing new there, but this time when i clicked ok this time, for whatever reason iTunes stopped responding, and came up with the usual error of "iTunes has stopped responding....", so after I get returned to my desktop I went back in to iTunes and the movies i'd added weren't in "Home Movies" so i figured, "oh well, it must have completed it anyway, and then crashed", so i went and checked my movie list, and they aren't there either.
    I figured that it just hadn't saved the fact i'd imported them, and went to add them again, but it just won't add them... i've tried adding them as multiple files, and adding them as individuals, but still to no avail.
    Can anyone shed any light, or point me in the right direction for correcting this issue?
    Thanks in advance for reading, and any help anyone can offer.

    Hi beau_nidle,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If iTunes quit unexpectedly while saving changes, and now will not import the movies again, I'd suggest rebuilding your iTunes library. See this article for help with this troubleshooting step:
