Can I use iChat to talk to one of my AIM buddies

my problem is that AIM for mac doesnt have webcam/video support yet...so I'm wondering does iChat have AIM syncing?? And one of my friends has a webcam and I would like her to able to use it but with the purchase of my new mac I cant use the AIM Video feature like I used to with my PC....do I have to just wait till they upgrade AIM for Mac?
thankyou

I was able to get on my AIM screename in iChat but the only problem was it would not connect to my AIM friend with her camera....although I do not have a camera I feel I should still be able to see hers? Isnt that right? With my old PC i didnt need to have a camera I could just view hers and leave mine idle...I dont know, I appreciate all the help though, I'm new to the whole Mac thing, but I love it

  • Can you use ichat to talk to friends on facebook?

    i guess my subject says it all, but anyway: can i use ichat to talk to friends who are online on facebook? i would like to be able to not have to be on facebook to talk to friends. thanks!
    also--> would this involve having to download certain software? or is it possible to do it without extra stuff?
    thanks again

    The option has been given to developers by facebook to make it work through jabber. However, as of yet nothing has materialised. Keep your eyes open for it... this may be the year!

  • How do I get messages to go back to an AIM account? It's only seeing the iPad's Facetime email address and not seeing the old AIM account name that is on my desktop. I am using my iMac using iChat to talk to a newer iMac that doesn't have iChat.

    How do I get messages to go back to an AIM account? It's only seeing the iPad's Facetime email address and not seeing the old AIM account name that is on my desktop. I am using my iMac using iChat to talk to a newer iMac that doesn't have iChat. We had this working using Messages and Facetime (on the new machine) talking to my existing iChat account. One day last week, when Facetime rang, my kids answered on the iPad. Dang! Now it's all fouled up! The new iMac won't see my AIM account name and shows that I'm offline, because the iPad is off. We were able to call using "most recent call" in Facetime, but now I can't go and control that new iMac remotely to help with some email concerns the user is having. I'm trying to not personalize this too much, but it's grandkids talking to Grandma and Mom and Dad trying to solve new machine hiccups. Normally, I could just go in via iChat and control the other machine and troubleshoot, but I can't do it with Facetime only. My buddy list doesn't see  the other computer even though we are connected on Facetime right now. My name is not highlighted for the other computer. What could have gone so wrong?
    Any help would be appreciated.

  • How can I use different iTunes accounts on one iPad?

    How can I use different iTunes accounts on one iPad?

    You can't, well not easily anyway.  The iPad is not meant as a multi account device. 
    You can Sign Out of your iTunes account in Settings->iTunes and App Stores->Apple ID->Sign Out
    However if you sign in with another ID and then download past purchases with it you will lock out the previous ID for 90 days. Which means it will not be able to be used on the iPad for 90 days.

    I have an imac at home and may be getting a macbook for work. Can i use my mobile me account to chat between the two macs or would i need a mobile me account per mac??

    Hi,
    No.
    You need two names that can login into AIM.
    In iChat you can use the Get an iChat Account which shows after you use the Plus Button in Accounts.
    This will give you a free @mac.com Name
    AIM Names are also free.

  • Can I use two Time Capsules? one as an extension of my laptop (for music and video storage) and the other one to back up everything from the laptop and  Time Capsule (for music and videos)

    Can I use two Time Capsules? one as an extension of my laptop (for music and video storage) and the other one to back up everything from the laptop and  Time Capsule (for music and videos)

    Not via Time Machine.   It cannot back up from a network location.
    The 3rd-party apps CarbonCopyCloner and ChronoSync may be workable alternatives.
    EDIT:  And, if you're going to do that, you could back up from the Time Capsule to a USB drive connected to the TC's USB port.  Second TC not required.

    How can I use Ichat or factime to video conference remote famiy members who have windows computers?

    HI,
    You can use iChat to Video to PCs that are using the AIM for PC app or have the Trillian App with the Pro Add-on (which costs).
    As you list OS 10.7.4 you may find you can find a copy of the Messages Beta  (technically it was withdrawn before the release date for Mountain Lion that has the Full version)

  • Can i Use two qery hints in one SQL(Oracle)?

    Hi,
    Can i Use two Query hints in one SQL(Oracle)? USE_HASH and No_Merge
    Thanks

    user10916886 wrote:
    Can I use like
    /*+ USE_HASH(X,Y) NO_MERGE(X) */
    will this work?Not really: NO_MERGE relates to mergeable views, not base tables. So whilst the USE_HASH may result in a hash join between the tables X and Y, USE_MERGE will be ignored for X.
    As hoek says, however, HINTs should be a last resort only, and if they're to be used at all you're best to stay with those that don't involve explicit objects, like ALL_ROWS, FIRST_ROWS_10, etc.
    user10916886 wrote:
    Im my database, if i don't use query hints. The expalin plan uses Nested loops, hence the query takes a lot of time.You would be better trying the ALL_ROWS hint here, instead of USE_HASH.
    Edit
    The optimizer, however, will have chosen NESTED LOOPs where it did because it believed that to be the most efficient data retrieval path with the information that it had to hand. So, if your statistics are comprehensive and up-to-date, yet the optimizer is continually opting for the less efficient plan, there's something else wrong, and HINTs are only masking that problem in the short-term.
