AIM Triton - Not compatable with iChat for Audio/Video

**From MacDailyNews** http://www.macdailynews.com
AOL's new AOL Instant Messenger 'Triton' (free for Windows 2000 and XP at http://www.aim.com/ ) update is now available. "Triton is more marketing-driven than ever, but this version's audio-chat feature shuts out one popular AIM-compatible program, Apple's iChat AV, and it doesn't allow video-conferencing with any other AIM software," Rob Pegoraro writes for The Washington Post. "More ads, less compatible: Does that sound appealing?"
"Text chats between Triton, earlier AIM releases and two third-party programs -- iChat AV, released with AOL's support, and the independently developed, open-source Gaim -- went fine. But Triton makes enough changes to voice chatting to prevent any audio exchanges with iChat AV, and its new video software doesn't work with any other AIM-compatible software," Pegoraro reports. "Fortunately, you don't have to run AIM to use the AIM network. For basic text chats and file transfers, non-AOL programs such as Gaim, Trillian and iChat provide the same utility without any of the ads."

HI Rj,
As Triton got to it's current version as a Beta and then without any apparent changes become the item on the AIM latest page link http://www.aim.com/getaim/win/latestwin.adp I would presume it is not a fully functional item yet.
Particularly as AIM 5.9 is still available here http://www.aim.com/getaim/win/otherwin.adp?aolp=
As it is market driven hopefully it will catch up with AIM 5.9 on the connectivity front and lose or at least gain the ability to block unwanted ads.
I think we have a while to go with this one before suggesting people swap to Triton.

  • I just got my refurb iPad in the mail. I am trying to set it up, but im getting this message "iTunes could not back up the ipad because the backup was corrupt or not compatable with the ipad. Delete the backup for this ipad. then try again." How?

    I just got my refurb iPad in the mail. I am trying to set it up, but i am getting this error message " iTunes could not back up the ipad because the backup was corrupt or not compatable with the ipad. Delete the backup for this ipad. Then try agian." How do I do that?

    It sounds like the iPad wasn't erased to me. If the iPad is totally cleared of content, there should be nothing on it and no backup to create.
    Without connecting the iPad to your computer - Launch iTunes on you computer and go to Edit>Prefences>Devices. Do you see an iPad backup in there? If you do see it, delete it.

  • When the 5.0 version came out a notice was sent to my laptop stating it was not compatable with Garman GPS updates at this time. I would like to know if that has been fixed allowing Garman GPS updates now? I did not update to 5.0 for that reason.

    I did not update to 5.0 Firefox because it said it was not compatable with the Garman GPS updates at this time

    Hi
    Other alternatives based on the amount of info in your post.
    Has she set up her Google Name in iChat or is she logged on via the Web Site (Google Mail page) ?
    iChat cannot Video to the Google Mail Login page chat option or to the app called GoogleTalk on a PC.
    Another thing.
    If you login to the GoogleMail Web pages you will get logged out of iChat (GoogleTalk account) to a partial extent which may explain the loss of Video or Audio iCons.
    iChat reports in a Text chat window that you have Logged Off.
    However you seem to be able to continue the chat - but it separate from the web Page chat - You send from the web page and that chat will get the next response, send from iChat and it gets the next response (I can't remember if the Buddy told me he got two Chat windows at his end)

  • Hello I bought Lightbox4 but it was not compatable with XP which was on my computer so I bought Wind

    Hello I bought Lightbox4 but it was not compatable with XP which was on my computer so I bought Windows 7 now it works fine, I also have Photoshop Elelements 11, I was using CS3 which I like very much, I have just tried  tore- download it again and the message I have is that the Installer is corrupt, is there anything I can do? I can not afford to buy it again can you help?

    You can download legacy versions from here:
    Direct Download Links for Adobe Software
    Just make sure you are obeying the correct install order - older versions must be installed before newer stuff, i.e. your CS3 must be installed before LR4 and PSE 11. in fact your corruption error could be just that - the CS3 envcountering stuff it doesn't understand because it is newer than itself.

Locate c:\program files\palm\[hotsync username]\if you will se a install folder or quick install folder just empty it by deleting whatever file inside those folders.

  • This hardware not compatable with Windows XP due to Logo signage

    My bother (who resides in another state) just purchased an HP LaserJet Pro P1102w Printer. He tried to connect it to his computer than has XP Pro as the OS, and gets the following error message:
    "this hardware not compatable with Windows XP due to Logo signage"
    Anyone run across or heard of this problem?

    Hi,
    This explaination may help. The CD which came with the printer may not cover for this situation. My suggestion: go to this site to download XP driver & application then install them on the XP machine.

  • Java update and real player update not compatable with firefox 6 on Windows 7. Will they still function right?

    When i opened firefox today , there were updates but when it tried to update it came back that java and real player updates were not compatable with my firefox. I have Firefox 6. Will these 2 programs still work all right if they are not updated?
    I'm sorry I don't know what installed plugins I have. After putting in search it says I have Java 6 Standard Edition Update 26. I have Real Player(tm)(win32), Version 14.0.4 652. Hope that is enough information

    I just had a similar issue and I ended having to manually clean up the registry to get Java working again.
    I just got a new computer at work and it had Java 7 installed but it turns out an app we need to use at work doesn't work with Java 7, only Java 6.
    I uninstalled Java 7 and installed Java 6 but Firefox was not showing the Java plugin as installed. I tried all sorts of things, including uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox and none of it worked. Finally I again uninstalled Java and then I searched for "Java" in the registry and found TONS of entries still in there for Java, including for Java 7. I manually deleted all the entries (WARNING: this is extremely risky) rebooted, then installed Java 6 and now it's working fine.
    I really hate it when uninstallers leave stuff behind. It just makes a mess.

  • I use an online application that doesn't work with FF, but I had been able to use an IE plugin within FF and it worked fine. After the last update (3.6.12), it says plugin is not compatable with version. Help?

    go to '''TOOLS '''then '''OPTIONS''' then '''ADVANCED''' then '''NETWORK tab''' then '''SETTINGS tab''' and select the options '''NO PROXY''' click '''OK''' and '''OK '''again in the next screen. With that you have disabled the proxy settings.
    ''if you like to not disable the proxy settings choose'' : '''Auto-detect proxy settings for this network''' (it is in the same session)

    What model TC is this? How old and on what firmware?
    Do a full factory reset of the TC.. they do not like a change of setup.
    Remember changes to router require a power down of the modem for long periods.. maybe 30min maybe longer.

  • I have an ipod touch second gen, how can i download the facebook app if it says its not compatable with my current iOS?

    i have an ipod touch second gen, how can i download the facebook app if it says its not compatable with my current iOS?
    i had the facebook app but i could never upgrade it and i was ok with using the outdated version but when i reset the ipod so i could gift it to a friend it obviously got rid of the app and now i cant downloaded because it says its not compatable, how can i download the version i had before i reset it?

    Your only way is if you have the version that was compatible on your computer such as in the recycle bin/trash or in a computer file backup. In that case delete the current version that is in your iTunes App library and replace it with the older version. Then sync.

  • What do I do when I get a message that adobe reader 7 is not compatable with windows 8?

    What do I need to do when a website sends me a message that my adobe reader 7 is not compatable with windows 8?

    Are you using Adobe Reader 7 on Windows 8? If so, the message is probably correct and you should download the latest version of Adobe Reader (which is XI).
    If you already have Reader XI, maybe you can give us some more details about where you are at and what you are doing when you get this message.
