Can iSight on a Mac videoconference with non-Mac software on a PC?

If I'm using iSight on a Mac to videoconference, can I connect to someone on a PC using different videoconferencing software?

hi hanshound,
Welcome To The Apple Discussion Pages.
iChat is an AIM client. That is to say it chats and Video or Audio chats over the AIM Instant Message servers.
This will mean it will chat to any other AIM client on any other Platform.
With regards to PCs they can be running the AOL Browser Package and enable the Instant Message part, the Stand alone AIM application at Ver 5.9 or the Pro version of an App called Trillian.
The Pc does need to be running XP.
The AIM app needs some setting up called Tuning
This Tuning blog was written for AIM 5.5 but is the same actions once the person has accessed the Preferences/Properties on the AIM App.
Both AIM and Trillian will need enbaling through the XP firewall. See here http://www.ralphjohnsuk.dsl.pipex.com/page12.html#_Service
Opps nearly forgot iSight also works with other IM Video applications

  • Can't log in to FaceTime with non-primary iCloud ID

    Hello,
    I use a family Apple ID for App Store, iTunes Match and photostream but use individual Apple IDs for reminders and contacts. The problem is, on my ipad I can't log in to FaceTime with my personal Apple ID. It will only allow me to log in with my primary Apple ID (the family ID). On my iphone it works because I associate FaceTime and iMessage with my cell number.
    Any thoughts? Thanks!

    KK,
    For some reason, a Mac using Facetime needs to be set to the time zone it is in.  It could possibly have something to do with the FT routers that your call is guided to.  In any case there were two Facetime users I know of, that got their Facetime working by resetting to the proper time zone.  I surely hope this works for you so you can start talking to your folks "across thepond."

  • I can't synchronize my iPod's with my iTunes software (Windows Vista Home Premium) due to problems with the access authorization / rights for this operation

    Hi there,
    I'd like to ask you something:
    I'm trying to synchronize all my iPod's (I have as many as 4 iPods: 2 iPod touch a 8 GB each and 2 iPod classic a 160 GB each) with my iTunes software (Version 11.3.1 which is installed on a Windows PC (Windows Vista Home Premium)). Unfortunately, the iTunes software refuses to run the command "synchronize with the iPod connected" regarding each and every iPod I have. iTunes just declares:
    Synchronizing is impossible because I wouldn't hold the access authorization / rights for this operation.
    I uploaded the songs at issue to my iTunes folder from CD's (all songs are in AAC format now).
    What is this access authorization, why was something like that invented and what can I do to get it?
    How do I have to proceed in detail?
    What would it cost?
    I am brand new here and have never ever made a post in any support community anywhere in the world in my life. Well, and I am not excessively knowledgeable about the particular computer or mac language but I know the very basics or can find out about them.
    Anyways - can you help me please?
    If you can't help me, who can do so?
    It would be nice if you could answer me as soon as possible!
    Thank you guys

    Yes, others have experienced the problem, a simple search of the forums would have revealed that and the simple solution.
    Termporarily disable any security software on the computer.

  • Mac OS 10.5.8 too old for HP deskjet 2514 driver and I can't download new Mac software. HELP!

    Hi,
    I have an older Mac with the OS 10.5.8 system. It's too old to download to 10.6 the new Mac software because it's not intel-based so I can't download the driver for the printer.
    I've been trolling the hp support boards and there doesn't seem to be a solution. So is my printer essentially useless with my computer?
    Please help =)

    hi, you would need to state what make and model the printer is for anyone to help

  • I have the following Apple Computer: Dual 1.25 GHz PowerPC G4, 2 MB per processor. Can I put install new Intel Xeon processors in place of the current ones to bring my Mac up to the MacPro standards and so I can install the new Mac software?

    I have the following Apple Computer: Dual 1.25 GHz PowerPC G4, 2 MB per processor. Can I put install new Intel Xeon processors in place of the current ones to bring my Mac up to the MacPro standards and, if so, can I then install the new Mac software (Lion)?

    As has been clearly stated, no, no, and no.
    If such an upgrade were possible, it probably would be more money than it would be worth.
    If you're running a G4 (dual-processor even) you can pick up a used Mac mini (intel that is, and something from 2010 or newer would be the best bet) that will be screaming fast compared to a G4.
    Once upon a time, processor upgrades were not only possible, but a good deal, and a relatively inexpensive way to get more life out of your Mac. I upgraded a G3 tower to a G4 for  few hundred dollars, and I was glad I went that route at the time. Finally,  CPU upgrades, at least as far as I know, aren't available anymore.

  • Can I use purchased Photoshop actions with CS6 cloud software?

    I have found some pre-made Photoshop actions I want to use for photography.  I am about to buy my first copy of Photoshop and I was thinking of going with the cloud software monthly option.  Before I do that though, I want to make sure the actions I am looking at would work with "cloud" Photoshop...  As opposed to my just purchasing the software package outright.  Thanks for your patience, this is my first post.

    Hi,
    You should be able to use the same actions in the creative cloud version of photoshop cs6 as in perpectual lincensed version as they are the same except
    the cloud versions include some features that the perpectual lincensed version won't get until the next major release.

  • How can I restore e-mac software

    I had previously had a problem in which I could not erase items from my e-mac. I had less than 365mb of space. I kept on getting an IO 36 error. Anyway I could not boot from the OSX disks, and start up managers did not work, nor did cleaning out caches through the terminal. A friend told me to try starting up from 9.2 which I had,which did work, it required a lot less memory needed than I had available. Anyway I re-initialized my hard drive and now I have 30 GB of space. I tried doing a software restore with my original disks however I am having trouble. It is unable the first one.
    any help would be appreciated
    thanks

    do you get any errors upon trying to reinstall? are you trying to install both 9 and 10 systems?? do you have any added ram in the computer?? if so, try removing it and try installing again. did you do disk repair before the install to check the directory?? that is something which should always be done.

  • Where can I find free mac software to print cd labels

    Where can I find fre software to print CD/DVD labels for the Mac?

    CD/DVD labels should only be used on tray loading burners.  Not slot loaders. 
    Use magic marker pens to label your CD/DVDs. 

  • Why I can not run the mac software purchased from Ancestry for Family Tree Maker 2 or 4

    The software would not sync with ancestry family tree macker with out crashing when trying to sync.. This was both the FTM for Mac 2 and FTM for Mac 4.

    According to RoaringApps, FTM is not known to be compatible with Mavericks.  I would contact the developer.

  • I can´t save images in .jpg with "Camera Raw" software from my Elements 6.0

    I have Photoshop Elements 6.0, I bought it last year and untill now, it´s OK. Now I´m beginning working with .RAW files, but I can´t save them as .JPG after I modified them with the "camera Raw" software. I can only save pictures in .DNG. ¿Could someone please tell me how to save it as .JPG?
    I consider this is a basical function wich, for example, Photoshop CS3 does.
    Bye.

    Thank you very much for your answers.
    Daniel.

    The Save button in the raw converter is the DNG converter. To save in any
    standard image format, you must open the image in the editor, then save it
    there.

  • Why can I not find files created with x-rite software in color sync folder?

    Creating printing profiles for different papers.They are being stored in a hidden folder. Why?

    I can only find two library folders out of the three that you are speaking of. It is my understanding that in 10.7 and 10.8 they changed where and access to certian files.
    I'm just really stumped why it would hide files that are being used by more than application when I can put downloaded images in colorsync folder and they are fine.
    Thank you for your help and suggestions

  • Why with so many How can I fix what is broken with the itunes software, does apple not "fix" the software?

    For Sale iPad 2,,, If I cant get ituens to work. There is no way that after a fresh install, the help tool bar should not work REALLY.

    You'd get more knowledgeable answers if you posted in the appropriate forum - that would be iPad. This forum is to discuss the forums themselves.
    When you re-post, please be specific on what you did and what happened.

  • Why can't users update their devices with 5.1?

    I can't update my iPad 2 with the new software and I saw that it's not only me.It says that there is a problem with the server, please fix the bug.

    We are fellow users here, you are not addressing Apple - there are too many forums, threads, messages for Apple to monitor these forums.
    If you wait a day or two then you should be able to download it. A lot of people are probably trying to download the update to the iPad, iPhone and or iPod Touches, so the servers may be having problems coping with the demand
