Issue or symptom
Icons of buddies on your iChat Buddy List may sometimes appear as a blue globe, white square, or appear with no icon. This can happen with both AIM- and .Mac-based accounts.
Solution
Server issues on the AIM network can cause this issue. If you are affected, contact America Online for more information.
Note that text, audio, and video chats will still work--this issue affects icon appearance only.
