Communicating through my jabber account with someone who uses AOL AIM.

Hi, I want to use my jabber account to talk to someone else who uses AOL's AIM. Let's say their screenname is person. In the add buddy menu, I type in [email protected] If I just type person, it assumes that they use my server. It then waits for authorization, though. And person never is given the ability to accept or decline, besides the fact that this isn't how it works with AIM. I'm definitely able to talk with AOL Instant Messenger, right? That's what the server to server federation is for? Thanks!

Hi Jack,
You can actually use your own email address as the login for your AIM account. If you create the account by going to aim.com, then clicking on "Get a Username", you will see "...or use your existing address" just under the pick-a-username box.
Hope this helps,
Peter

HT2513 Can I share an iCal calendar with someone who uses Google Calendar?

That's basically the question. I use iCal and I want to share one of my calendars with someone who uses Google Calendar and doesn't have any Apple products. Is this possible?
Thanks,
Mark

I didn't explain correctly. Right now I share (subscribe) a calendar on Mobile Me , in addition to my own personal calendar. That shared calendar is staying on Mobile Me and I need to be able to access it once I move my personal calendar to iCloud. That is, if I use iCloud can I share calendars that are not on iCloud, but are on MobileMe?
You can't do this: when you migrate your MobileMe account to iCloud the calendars will be transferred there and no longer available on MobileMe.
You can share calendars privately or publicly from iCloud: private calendars can only be viewed by nominated iCloud members; public calendars can be viewed by anybody in a CalDAV client such as iCal or Google Calendar (though they are non-editable).

How can I video chat with someone who uses web based yahoo?

Not long ago I purchased my first Mac (New MacBook Pro 2.53GHZ); last Summer I also purchased a MacBook Pro for my daughter. Everything works great (like driving a formula one Porsche after grappling with a battered pick-up truck (meaning Windows) for many decades; cannot imagine ever going back. But, there is one issue that I have not been able to solve and for which I would greatly appreciate any suggestions or advice. I am familiar with ichat and with AIM (my daughter uses it all the time). However, the vast majority of people with whom I communicate via IM live in parts of the world where very few people have even a computer at home much less residential internet access. As a result, near all of the folks I would be chatting with have to use public computers (internet cafes, libraries, etc) and obviously they cannot install AIM or anything else on those public computers. About 90% of them use the web based yahoo messenger which can be accessed from any computer with an internet connection (most of the rest use MSN). My question is this: I know how to do video chat in ichat but ichat does not support yahoo. How can I do video chat with someone who is using web based yahoo on a public computer that has a USB web cam? I was able to do this on my old PC which had a plug in web cam but do not know how it might work on a Mac. Should I install yahoo messenger on my MacBook Pro and will that work for me?. I know about some other Mac compatible chat clients such as Admiun but as far as I can tell none of them support video chat or in some cases yahoo. Perhaps I am overlooking something. I would be very grateful for any suggestions or advice in this matter. Thanks to anyone who reads this post and has any helpful info.

Zurich,
I don't think the web-based Yahoo Messenger supports video, so nothing you can do with that.

I think there are Mac compatible MSN clients that will do video, (i.e. aMSN) Also, Microsoft plans on releasing an updated version of Messenger for Mac soon.

GoogleTalk does have a browser based video chat, but your friends would need to install a browser plug-in. (which I would assume that can't do either)
The best option is Skype, but also requires an install on their end (I would think that the internet cafes would/should have this available)
Good Luck,

Can I chat with someone who uses Windows LiveMessenger?

Hi,
Is it possible for me to use iChat to talk with my son, who is using Windows LiveMessenger (beta)?
Patrick

iChatAV is currently not compatable with MSN Live Messenger. Sorry!
I would suggest your son get's AIM 5.9, that way you should be able to text and video chat with him.

Can I share photostream with someone who does not use Apple devices?

If I share a photostream with someone who does not use Apple products, will they be able to view the Photostream?

Shared photoStreams are also available on a PC
How do friends and family view my photos?
Friends and family with iCloud accounts can view your photos in the Photos app on any device using iOS 6 or later; on a Mac in iPhoto 9.4 or Aperture 3.4 or later; on a Windows PC with Windows Vista or later and iCloud Control Panel 2.0 or later installed; or on a second generation or later Apple TV with software version 5.1 or later installed. They can also view your photos on the web if you enable Public Website in the settings or options for your Shared Photo Stream. Learn more about inviting people to view your shared photo streams.

First of all, I would have to say that getting in touch with you is a nightmare and I am not at all happy that I can't just email or live chat with someone who can help! I am not a technical person, I just want to be able to use Photoshop Elements and get on with it. I bought Photoshop Elements via Amazon some months ago and it worked fine. I then got a message that advised that the trial version would expire, which it subsequently has (I have been trawling your site for weeks and weeks trying to find an email or phone contact to get some assistance). Relucltantly, I am now typing this - and I suspect it will not help in the slightest! I bought the FULL not TRIAL edition of Photoshop Elements and I have contacted Amazon who confirmed this, but say I need to contact you. Can you please let me know how I can resolve this?

I have an I pad can I chat with someone who has an Apple Mac computer

I have an I pad can I chat with someone who has an Apple Mac computer, if so what do I need to do ??

Hi,
In Messages on the iPad you need to be using an Apple ID (which you probably are)
You can then iMessage (the form of Apple Chat Messaging that is used) to other Apple IDs or iPhone numbers.
They have to be using iOS 5.5 or higher or OS X 10.8 on a Mac. ( A Mac could be up to OS X 10.8.2 if updated iOS devices could be up to iOS 6.0.1)
You then needs either WiFi access or a Data contract and an iPad that can do at least 3G (some have SIM cards)

Sending a message to someone who used to have an iPhone

I have sent some messages to someone who used to have an iPhone (and to whom I used to send iMessages) but who has now switched to an android device but the contact number has stayed the same. I notice that when I send a text now it is going as an iMessage (message in blue). I assume that the recipient is not receiving these. Is that correct? How do I send the contact a regular text message at this point?

You tell them to sign out of iMessage

I am working with someone who imported their Outlook, then uninstalled Thunderbird; they now want to re-import Outlook and it will not work. What should I do?

I am working with someone (my boss), who wanted to import Outlook into Thunderbird. I helped him to do this. For reasons unknown, he then uninstalled Thunderbird etc. He now wants to repeat this process; however, Outlook will not import now. The import freezes about half way through. How do I help him? I'm not sure if the issue is with Outlook or Thunderbird. I suggested we revert back to the original Outlook files he had saved when we first did the import and try again (to see if the issue was with a corrupted file in Outlook etc.,) but he has since updated that. I believe Thunderbird was correctly uninstalled, so, I'm not sure where the problem exists...I'm even less sure how to fix it.
Nicole

Yeah, I went back and removed the profile folder using the info below. That appeared to remove all the original files.

Can I Video Chat with someone who has Gchat?

I have set up my gmail account in iChat, and am fully able to video chat with people who are also using ichat, but when I try to video chat with people who are using gchat (on PCs) and have video capability. Is there anyway to video chat with them besides opening up my gmail account and chatting through the web browser? I should be able to do it in one program right?

With Gtalk in iChat its Mac to Mac only for video.

HT3748 Messages sent through my Exchange Account with large attachments (10mb) get stuck in my Outbox.

I use Mail and icloud except at work. The wi-fi network at work won't allow icloud through so I use my work email setup on Mail as an Exhange account. When I have a large message (10mb) to send through this account it gets stuck in my Outbox and won't 'send'. It actually appears in the 'On my Mac' Outbox and not in the Exchange Outbox - even though i sent it using the Exchange account. IT at work are puzzled. This problem is only when at work - I can send through my Exchange account when I'm at home. Please help...

Please follow these directions to delete the Mail "sandbox" folders. In OS X 10.9 there are two sandboxes, while in 10.8 there is only one. If you're running a version older than 10.8, this comment isn't applicable.
Back up all data.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a folder named "com.apple.mail" selected. If it does, move the selected folder—not just its contents—to the Desktop. Leave the Finder window open for now.
Log out and log back in. Launch Mail and test. If the problem is resolved, you may have to recreate some of your Mail settings. You can then delete the folder you moved and close the Finder window.
This action will delete any custom Mail stationery that you have created. If you want to preserve it, ask for instructions.
If you still have the problem, quit Mail again and put the folder back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Repeat with this line:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.MailServiceAgent
Caution: If you change any of the contents of the sandbox, but leave the folder itself in place, Mail may crash or not launch at all. Deleting the whole sandbox will cause it to be rebuilt automatically.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

if you use imessage to communicate to someone who lives in norway will it charge as an international text?

Facetime (video/audio) is also free just like iMessage.
