HELP!

I joined Myspace and tried to send a friend request at David´s official Myspace page (yes, clicked the add button). BUT the problem is that it won´t let me send the request but says:

David Cook only accepts add requests from people he/she knows. You must enter either David Cook's last name or email address to send your request.


I also wrote David´s last name in the box but "it was incorrect". And if I knew his e-mail address I wouldn´t need to communicate via Myspace lol.


What should I do? How did you all get in there?

I appreciate any help from you lovely people.

Anyone...?



I can´t even add a comment on his site before I´m a friend.. and I can´t send a friend request.. this is so annoying!

I want to send him wishes of support!



I feel sooooo stupid.. I´ll kiss the ground under your feet if you tell me what to do lol.

All I can say is to make sure you are going to the correct site....http://www.myspace.com/officialdavidcook.

I had no problem being accepted a while back.

Vivian:
I had problems when I joined as well - it will happen - please be patient.

I sent a note to the moderators of this site asking them to PM you and walk you through sending a friend request. Hang in there.


I personally had a little problem; in fact someone had to walk me through it.

vivian: when you are on www.myspace.com/officialdavidcook and you scroll down to were it give you the options of IM, send a message, ect. If you click directly on Send a message - nothing happens, try clicking a little below it - that might work. Usually the response time to be added is a day or two. Hope this helps

Thank you for your answers.


@ zoo: yes, I´ve been on a correct site.

I think they have changed their options lately, not to accept anyone´s friend requests. I can´t see why.. I think it would be the more friends the better for an artist..

@ annette: Did you mean you contacted the moderators of Myspace? Where did you find the link to contact them? (Sorry for being so stupid) I´ve been trying to send Tom (my first friend lol a message but he´s not available right now either.

I´ve never used Myspace before and it seems to me that it´s way too difficult.. maybe I´m not meant to be there lol. I just would love to send Mr. Cook some cheers and support every now and then.

Is that too much to ask ffs?

LOL

But I´m not giving up.. never been the kind to let go!

Actually- annette hit it on the head. The site is a little wonky..try clicking just under "add" and not right on it. If you click right on add, you'll get the message form, just under add and you'll get the friend request form

Oh yeah - "add friend" - I was trying to give directions from memory...

I did find the right button Annette, that´s not the problem. It´s just that when I come to the page where it asks "Are you sure you want to add David Cook as your friend" or something like that, there are two boxes:

In the first box you have to enter "David Cook´s last name OR his e-mail address". Of course I triend "Cook" in it but it was ´incorrect´.

And in the second box you have to type the letters and numbers the computer gives you but that´s not a problem.

I always have the same answer: "the last name or e-mail address you entered is incorrect" and it won´t allow me even send the request.

(If I was able to send it, I understand that it would take at least a couple of days for them to accept my request.)

Vivian- go here:

http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fusea...79-b4ee116a221b

scroll just a smidge til you see a block that says, send, add, im, etc...click just below the add and your friend request is sent.Well, you might get a box asking if you're sure you want to add him, click yes and off it goes...

It may take a while, I was there last night and he (or whoever is monitoring the site) hasn't been logged on since the 27th. Obviously busy with other things.

Thank you for your answer d.c.ftw

But that´s exactly where I was. And I´m not able to send the request there. The page is demanding the information that I don´t have (see my previous post).

I´m sorry if I don´t make myself clear.. it´s hard to explain in a foreign language. I could send a pic of the "problem page" here as soon as I´m on my own computer?

Thank you anyway.. <3

The problem page would help The only thing I can think of is, they set it up that way for the time being if whoever is taking care of it, can't get to it for a while...and this is to keep from having a gajillion requests when they get back. We'll take a look at the problem page first

I hope you´re right with that.. I can´t find any reason why they should block devoted "fans" from being there to support DC.

Well, here is my problem page lol. I´m very grateful for your help!



And because the info I typed is incorrect.. my friend request is not sent.

hmmmm....and you tried putting in "Cook" for the last name, and THEN doing the Captcha? making sure you're doing both?

what dc.ftw said seems to be the problem if it still doesn't work....maybe they accidentally set it to "last name/email address only"....we're human....it happens....OR they purposely did it to catch up on all the friend requests they've most likely been getting....

I'd say maybe wait a day or so....next time David (or whoever runs the myspace) logs in, they might notice it if it's an accident and change it to automatically-requesting...

....if that made any sense...

Yes I hope so.. we´ll see what happens.

Thank you for your answer StephyDee.

Still can´t send the request in Myspace..

Vivian,

Thank you very much for posting this. I too am new to myspace and have been convinced I have been doing something wrong. I get the same error message too.

I guess I'll wait a day or so and try again.

they haven't added friends and comments in a long time... at least a week. I don't know who's taking care of his myspace, but they're not doing a good job. If now there's that option it's really messed up. it's a shame.

I think the last time I looked the last comment was posted on 6/27. I am sure that David's team (whoever it is assigned to add the friends and the comments) will catch up.

oh yeah, i am having the same problem..

Helps a little to know I´m not the only one.. but not much lol.

I hope they fix the options soon so that new friend requests can be sent.

Just give it a few days, I guess.

When I requested him, I didn't get that.
*shrugs*
Yeah they need to get someone who'll check it everyday and all that stuff.

Thank you very much for posting this, I am also new to myspace and have been having the same problem. Hopefully, this will be cleared up soon.

Whoever is in charge of this is updating something because the vid was "officially" added on 6/30 and there was a reminder that he was going to be on Leno on 07/02.

I know this is my third time saying this, so I'll stop after this time, but anyone going to the M & G should mention this to him so that he knows we're concerned. Not to be overzealous about it or anything because he's obviously not in control. I would prefer that he chuck this thing completely and get something more professional but as long as they're occasionally updating it it doesn't hurt, I guess.

I just tried to add David too, but when I type in his last name and the letters for the puzzle, it gives me that his last name is incorrect...I'm glad I'm not the only one having problems...Oh well, I guess we can all keep trying...
