Can I view a buddies screen in ichat

I want to view my buddies (my mum) screen so I can help her with her new iMac?

Hi,
The simple answer is yes.
The full answer is-:
iChat to iChat only.
Set router to allow UPnP (or Port Mapping Protocol on Base Stations)  (iChat uses a random port that you can't open any other way)
Need at least iChat 4 at both ends and an Upload speed of over 128kbps  (256kbps is a much more realistic real world figure)
You have to Enable Screen Sharing in the iChat Video menu.

  • IChat: Can't view "Available" Buddies or their messages

    I can't view "Available" Buddies on my AIM Buddy List. I have also messaged Buddies that I know are online, and even though they can view my messages, I cannot see their messages.

    Hi,
    So when you message people you have Chat window on the Desktop that you can see ?
    Or does it appear to zoom out of sight ?
    Does the Window Menu list a open Chat (Should be at the bottom) ?
    In the View Menu of iChat are you choosing to "Show Buddy Pics" ?
    Is the Off Line Buddies option Ticked ?
    I am trying to work out if ot is a windowing issue (Chat placed on a "Second Display" that is no longer attached) or some other issue.

  • GTalk - Where can I view online buddies?

    Any other phone I've had with integrated GTalk IM has had a separate app that shows a list of my IM buddies per account.  This allows me to see who is online an who is not.
    Where can I see who is online on the Palm Pre 2?

    The problem I have noticed is that the google talk option does not appear for me. I have no conversations tab in the Messaging app at all.
    I have added my gmail account to Accounts but it does not sign into google talk.
    What am I doing wrong here?

  • LCCS Screenshare-How to view the shared screen?

    .Thanks in Advance
    Duva

    Hi Duva,
    Have you tried using the Screen Sharing SampleApps? You can download them from our SDK Navigator. Within the "ScreenShareExample" folder has "ScreenSharePublisherExample.mxml" and "ScreenShareSubscriberExample.mxml" which I think might help
    Here is the info from the Readme about these examples:
    ScreenSharePublisherExample:This example shows how to publish one's screen and share with other subscribers in the same room who has its publisherID. When invoke this publisher, Adobe Screen Share Addin will appear and a sharing dialog will pop up for asking which application/view to share.  Upon confirmation,
    both streamID and publisherID will be displayed on the center textfields.  Use the publisherID on the screenshare subscriber to see the screenshare.  (Please verify account information and roomURL before using the publisher)
    ScreenShareSubscriberExample:With right account information and roomURL, this application will connect to the first screen share publisher in the room (you don't need to specify the publisherID).
    Here are some good pages with ScreenSharing info that you might find helpful as well:

  • Can´t view photos in full screen after loading photos to dropbox? what to do?, can´t view photos in full screen after loading photos to dropbox? what to do?

    after loading photos to dropbox i can´t view them in full screen in iphoto ... i can only view them small ... when i click on them this sign "!" appears... do you know how to fix this????

    If you're loading photos to drop box why do you expect to see them in iPhoto?
    The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
    Remember: we cannot see your machine. There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 8 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS.  So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Basic things like :
    - What version of iPhoto.
    - What version of the Operating System.
    - Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For instance: 'iPhoto won't export' is best explained by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
    - History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted?
    - Are there error messages?
    - What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
    - Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
    Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

  • In IO7 how can I view my music videos in full screen?

    Downloaded IO7 onto my 4S and now I cannot view my music videos in full screen. Why would I pay $3.39 for a music video from the iTunes store when I can't view the videos in full screen. The video player does it but you can't create playlists, repeat etc so that is not an option.

    I do not understand what you want to do.  Please rephrase the question.

  • Can only view Mail in full-screen mode

    After installing Yosemite, I can only view the main Mail window in Full Screen mode, unless I check "Classic View" in Preferences. Classic view does not help much, because it does not show the preview, which is essential to me. If I exit fullscreen mode, the minimized window appears for a split-second and then disappears down the left bottom corner of the screen and you cannot find it anywhere. The only way to see anything again is to go to Mail - View - Full Screen. Any help is much appreciated.

  • How can I view movies in iPad with the full screen?

    Ok, I bought two movies from iTunes on my iMac and synced them with my iPad. It went well.
    But when I play them back on the iPad, I can only view them in letterbox/portrait mode which uses only one third of the iPad screen!!! Why is this? Is there anyway I can actually utilise the other two thirds of the iPad screen to view the movie? Otherwise it kind of defeats the object of having an iPad surely?

    Hi,
    I think we are going to experience some format problems on our mobile devices,  unfortunate as that may be.
    This is caused, I think, by the video and cable providers preparing to roll out live programming through LTE
    broadband from the cell towers to multiple mobile devices and home television.  We should expect some
    bumbs along the road.
    This may be an unrelated problem:
    On my Ipad, before OS 5 upgrade, I was was able to view Xfinity, HBO Live, ABC Live and CNN Live in full
    screen using the popup full screen icon on the top right of the screen.
    After OS 5,  HBO,ABC,CNN LIVE  -  all could be viewed full screen using the popup icon.
    The popup Icon is not available with Xfinity.  Xfinity is now letterbox.   Very, very annoying!!!
    The Comcast New Products department said that engineering would fix this problem.  I sure hope they do.

  • Can I view a video from my macbook pro on my TV using apple TV while doing something else on the laptop desktop? I.E. watch a video on the tv, while searching the web on the laptop screen?

    First off, I just want to clarify that I know how to view my macbook screen, videos, music, photos etc. through the apple tv connected to my hdtv. What I'm trying to do is use it like a second monitor. For example, I'd like to watch a video from the web through the apple tv on the hdtv screen, while simultaneously able to search and use the laptop like I normally would. I know there are two desktops with Mountain Lion, but I haven't been able to figure out how to link one to the apple tv and leave the other as the macbook. I know I've done this before when I had a macbook 13" and a cable connector, there was a setting in system preferences to view one screen (tv) with a video, and then still have the macbook screen free to search for files, the web, etc.... This is different from mirroring, but I haven't located this setting on the new macbook yet.
    Ideally I'd like to be able to use my hdtv as a second monitor so I can be sorting and organizing photo files on the macbook, while viewing full size high resolution images on the TV screen. I've got a ton of photographs, close to a personal library you could ask me for a type of photo and I've probably got it, but there is a decent amount of extras, doubles, and just stuff I don't need. This would really help me get organized and allow me to share my work a little bit more efficiently.
    I appreciate any insights and hope I can return the favor.
    Much Love
    Soulprogression

    I do not know how to do this with an Apple TV (I don't have one), but as far as I know Apple TV only does mirroring.
    If you have an HDMI cable long enough to reach your TV from where you sit, then it's easy. The TV could be set up in Extended Desktop mode (mirroring off) as if it was simply another computer monitor, and then you could just drag windows to it. If you have the Displays icon in your menu bar, that's where the setting is, or if the icon is not there, then the setting is in the Displays system preference. But again, that's for conventionally connected monitors, not Apple TV. If you don't have an HDMI cable and wanted a long one that's affordable you can get those at monoprice.com.
    The answer we are still waiting for is if anyone knows if Apple TV can be used in extended desktop (non-mirroring) mode.

  • How can I create a full-screen view of Keynote slide in Snow Leopard?

    How can I create a full-screen view of my Keynote slides in Snow Leopard?
    I'm going to be importing into ScreenFlow to create a video.
    Thank you!!

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    Do you want static screen captures or motion video of slides as titles, bullet points, and the like are presented?
    Run the Keynote slide presentation in full-screen mode, then...
    Static full-screen captures - use Command+Shift+3.
    Static partial-screen captures - use Command+Shift+4 and use cursor to select the area of the screen to capture.
    If you want motion video as builds occur, why not use Keynote's built-in Share, Export function?
    (I'm on iLife '09.)
    Also understand that the default slide format for Keynote is 1024x768, not full-screen MacBook 1280x800 screen size, so you'll have wide black borders unless you change the default size or crop the finished screen captures.
