Can my .mac account talk to someone with a gmail account?

Hello,
I have a MBP & just tried to turn on & use iChat for the first time today. My girlfriend just bought a MacBook and is checking it out also. I have a .mac account. She has a gmail account. What settings do we use to connect with iChat? She appears offline to me & I appear offline to her.
ThankU,
DSYoungblood

why not bother with MobileMe?
Because you'll need to provide a credit card, and the chat account will only be valid for 30 days unless you pay for it. Unless you want MobileMe for some other reason, it's not worth it.
will the AIM account be automatically added
No.
how do we get it added to iChat?
Choose Preferences from the iChat menu, click on Accounts, and add it.

So Can My Mac Be Made To Work With iChatAV ?
This question is asked by many who find their computer is below the G3/600Mghz Specs limit set for iChat
See here in the second table top left box the listing of the G3/600
Please note there are different Specs for Audio and Video chat.
This linked Apple Doc has been re-written several times since it originally cam out that it does not quite carry the same help as it once did
It is presumed that you are going to want to take as much advantage of iChat as you can. So I will talk about Video chatting.
For Jaguar (10.2.5 - 10.2.8)
Prior to the beginning of Oct 2004 there was a Jaguar version of iChat AV on sale at the Apple Store as a download. If you are at 10.2.5 - 10.2.8 and downloaded the $29.95 Version 2.0 of iChat for Jaguar, in preperation of using iChat, before this date, you may find some of this information useful.
The WWDC Anouncement
If you did not buy it, your only option is to upgrade to Panther.
For Panther (10.3.x) and Jaguar (10.2.5 -10.2.8)
IF you fall below the G3/600 mark then you will need this utility, iChatUSBCam from Ecamm.com This will enable the external iSight to work at lower spec machines. The current reported lower limit is around the G3/350Mhz mark.
It is also will enable USB cameras for use with iChatAV, but there is little in the way of substantive information about Sub G3/600 computers achieving this.
There have been about a dozen posts to say that it will use a USB cam on a G3 as low as 400Mgz
It should be noted that computers of this age tend to lack Multi-Tasking and will find that iChat will take up most of their processor time.

This is a link to the drivers already installed in the Mac OS. The download is not required. *See note below
Apple used to list the DV camcorders that work with the drivers already in the Mac OS but now Apple no longer does so (Link removed from this section). *See note below.
Essentially any Firewire camera will work with the OS. Some MiniDV formats can not be seen by iChat though.
Many USB Webcams will work if you are at 10.4.8 or earlier or only UBS 1.1 ports. This will need the Mac Drivers and the IChatUSBCam utility.
*Note: Both these last two lists were updated Jan 2004 or before. The purpose of pointing this out to highlight the fact that new cameras have come on the market since. They may work with these drivers or have their own Mac Firewire drivers on their accompanying install CDs.
The Current list for Firewire Webcams is now here as linked above.
For Tiger (10.4) and up.
Much of what has been said before applies to you as well. Most firewire web cams will work DV Camcorder will work. USB cameras can work with the correct Mac Driver and the iChatUSBCam utility.
However....
10.4.9 now adds a driver for USB Video Class (UCV) web cams that will work with the OS and iChat. Not all USB video cams are of this type and iChatUSBCam is still needed.
Mulit-Video Chatting
This was added to iChat at iChat 3 in Tiger (10.4.x)
As can be seen from the Specs linked earlier you need a Mac over a certain Spec (G4/1Ghz Dual) to be able to Host Video chats. (plus Internet Speed).
Ecamm come to people rescue again with PowerBoost if your Mac does not reach those specs.
Leopard 10.5
In Leopard the criteria is also for a mac of a certain spec before you even start, This is a G4/867Mghz processor. If you have problems then see this Apple Doc There is also some evidence that this helps other macs with the same message even if not this spec machine.

Mac Mail won't sync with 2nd Gmail account

I'm using Mac Mail (ver 6.6) on OSX 10.8.5 on my Macbook Pro.
I have my Mac Mail set up to fetch mail from multiple email accounts through IMAP. One of these is my old trusted personal gmail account, and it has been working fine for 2 years. However, yesterday, I added a new email account called "d-ourovino", which is for a business. The "dourovino" account is hosted at gmail as well. It is now working and syncing fine. But since I've added "dourovino", my old personal gmail account has stopped syncing, even though I didn't change any of its settings. What is going on? I'm at a total loss. Any suggestions?
See screenshot below...

This unlocking of the CAPTCHA also got my gmail to work. I think, just by noticing how gmail works, that if you make too many sign in requests within a certain amount of time---they load the CAPTCHA process to make sure you're a real person and not a computer. Since I was signing off and on repeatedly trying to figure out why it wouldn't take what I KNEW to be the password---turning off the CAPTCHA function just let gmail take your user name and password and log in. YEAH FOR THE HELP!!

Can't send e-mails via Mail with a Gmail e-mail address using Sky internet

Can anyone help? My brother has an iBook G4 Mac OS X 4.1 and is trying to send e-mails via Mail with a Googlemail e-mail account. He is using Sky for his broadband. I assume it has something to do with his outgoing smtp e-mail Preferences in Mail, but for the life of me I can't figure it out. He can receive e-mails OK, its just that when he tries to send he gets the 'server can't send error'. Any ideas?

Here's my gMail IMAP SMTP settings...
smtp.gmail.com
Port 25
Authentication: Password
SSL
Sky may require another port to pass through...
IMAP is port 143
IMAP-SSL is port 993
POP is port 110
POP-SSL is port 995
SMTP and SMTP-SSL is on ports 25, 587 and 465. Port 587 has to be SSL, and port 465 is enforced TLS-wrapped and is generally used by Outlook users.

I have been receiving charges from apple itunes and nothing has been purchased. Trying to talk to someone live is a nightmare. How do I get ahold of someone to help me with these charges before they start to really negatively effect my bank account?

I have been receiving charges from apple itunes and nothing has been purchased. When I look at the charges on my online banking a phone number is provided, but when I call that number it tells me to go to the web site. Trying to talk to someone live is a nightmare. How do I get ahold of someone to help me with these charges before they start to really negatively effect my bank account?

You've checked the purchase history on your account to see what app(s) they are from ? If you log into your account on your computer's iTunes via the Store > View Account menu option, you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it. Click on that and you should then see a list of your purchases. And you haven't got any auto-renewing subscriptions : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4098 ?
If you haven't made them, and nobody else has access to your account or devices and may have made them, then you can try contacting iTunes Support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

Can we have multiple Podcasts with the same Mac Account?

Hi all,
Can we have multiple Podcasts with the same Mac Account?
For example, I have a single .MAC account and create a website with multiple Podcast pages...or within iWeb I create multiple sites, and each has a podcast.
Is there a problem?

Its not possible for the same development object. Only 1 person can access an object at a time and if mutiple users modify an object new TASKs are created under the same TRANSPORT.
Only after releasing the tr you can create a new tr on the same object.

HT201269 can i transfer my iPod playlist that was synched with some else's Mac account to my PC & new iTunes account?

Here's my problem (and take into account I am not technically savvy). I use my iPod nano every day and have an extensive playlist, but my iPod nano is synched with a friend's Mac and under her account, and she has moved out of the area I live in. I downloaded iTunes for Window (7) onto my PC and opened my own account. How do I transfer my playlist from my iPod nano under my friend's Mac account (and there's no way to contact her) to my PC and my own iTunes account? I was told to first "unsynch" my iPod from her Mac using Senuti or Export on my PC, but I cannot find a free version of either program, and don't want to download a free program from a website that may be unreliable. From there, I'm totally lost. So, I basically want to know if this can be done, because I have to hire a technician at my local Apple store to do this whole process for me (I'm terrified of losing my playlist) and want to keep the costs down (they charge $40 per half hour and money is tight for me). I also want to back up my playlist, and looked into creating a Cloud account, but it says to synch my iPod with Cloud first, and I don't dare to try that on my own, so I guess I'll have to pay for the techs to do it. Is there another way to store my playlist, such as a flash drive? Still, I don't dare to touch anything on my iPod without face-to-face technical support. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.Thank you!

This is not legal.
The music purchased with your friends account or owned by your friend does not belong to you and she has no legal right to distribute it to you.

Can't log with my .mac account

I have registered two acounts on my iChat and all worked perfectly up to this morning. i was disconnected from my iChat because of the computer that switched of during the night and kno I can't anymore log on my .mac account. I have a message saying that i'm disconnected : Auth:DbSendError.
Can you tell me why ? What can I do ? Nothing shows why or what is really the problem...
Thank you for your help...

Hi,
As you may have read in older threads it has been a constant intermittent problem with the AIM servers when they go through an Update process.
It seems that they clear out older Unused screen names from time to time.
Now this used to happen about 4 times a year with an Early December one being the most intensive.
It seems nowadays they are smaller issues (less people effected) but happen more often.
Unfortunately it seems the link they have with the .mac server for @Mac screen names is the most often seen problem for @mac names.
There has also been a bit of a rush with people trying out Leopard and it's new iChat version.
This is not only new people but current people logging On and Off as they change settings.
Leopard also seems to offer a SSL login to AIM which may also add to problems of synching more servers.
This FAQ can help to check the places it is held to see if your account and Password work

Can I sync my new Blackberry with iCal via my .Mac account???

My company just got me a new Blackberry 8830 (I would have preferred an iPhone but my company won't allow it).
I'm running Microsoft Office 2004 and use Entourage for my email and contacts. These sync with my Blackberry just fine thanks to the company's Enterprise server -- no problem.
Here's my problem: I like iCal much better than the Entourage calendar. In the past, I've used my .Mac account to sync sink my iCal calendars on both my home and work computers (both are iMacs).
What I'd like to be able to do is sync my Blackberry's "calendar" with everything I've got in iCal. I'd like to do this without having to USB connect my Blackberry with my Mac every time I want to do this. My understanding is that PocketMac only works when you use a USB cable. I'd also prefer not to have to export my iCal calendars into Entourage.
Any suggestions?
Jason
