iChat, typical issue regarding users not showing up

Thanks for the feedback regarding to be in the wrong Discussion.

However I don't really understand your comment:
"Good job it was not your wife"

Any way gave a good day.

Thanks

Hi,

You were bang on my friend block me by mistake.

Then I said

"Good job it was not your wife"

I was eluding to the fact that your wife (if you have one) could also be a Buddy and you would not want to find out she was blocking you.

🙂

thanks for clarify the point 🙂 I know your were joking but at the beginning i didn't get only after.

Don't worries and thank so much to your help.

I will follow you suggestion and open a new Discussion.

Cheers and thanks again for your help

No Problem.

The Terms of Use do hint at posting your own issues separately but also allow fo the adding a "Me Too" type post.

The issue tends to be picking a thread title that looks the same issue only to find out it is different.

Some areas of the Discussions can have a bit of a different response to second or third posters with similar issues.
The Email alerts you get allow you to focus on the last reply and people can seemingly get ignored if the issue is not exactly the same.

I would prefer to be told myself and use the same methods here and in the other iChat Forums.

The best option is to either say you think you have the same issue or start a new Thread if you are not sure it is the same.

Really appreciate for you feedback and info on how to use the Apple Support Discussions.

I will keep on mind this for the next time 🙂

Thanks again

hello.

i am unhappy with this program from mac....can't even do a stable video chat on ichat???
what's the problem?....c'mon man!
why do i find mself trouble shooting for ichat...how annoying...

Hi

First have you set the Quicktime streaming setting, goto sys prefs/quicktime/streaming/streaming speed, set to 1.5mbps

In ichats prefs click on video and change bandwidth limit to 500.

Restart iChat.

Ralph,

No offense, I have read your posts on all people that are having iChat issues. You always say the same thing instead of listening to people. You really are no help what so ever. I called apple regarding this issue and they were all having the same issue. Maybe you should just step back some.

For all others, I had 5 different computers with the same issue. 3 have come back so far, waiting on the other 2. My bet is that there was an update, albeit at the a horrible time, and now its done. The only reason I say this is 2 mobileme accounts were not syncing right before and now they are. Hope this helps. If not call apple and complain, I did and it stumped them with what was going on and they contacted that department. Enjoy.

Hi,

Are you talking about the issues with AIM at the AIM 7.2 update (the month this Thread started) or the Issue that raised it head yesterday ?

The information that Apple staff who are more likely to be using @Mac.com or MobileMe names were having issues yesterday is interesting as it would point to a MobileMe/@mac.com database issue and the link AIM can have with that.

If AIM (the servers) cannot resolve Screen Names from Apple, Buddy lists will not show Buddies.

If you have Direct access to reporting a problem with MobileMe then that is always a worthwhile thing to do. It either solves the problem as you have found or eliminates it being an AIM to MobileMe issue and places directly back on AIM.

I would point out that out of 51,570+ posts ( See here) it is not often that I miscommunicate with someone.

I thank you for your comments though.
