Default Instant Messanger

Just got a Creative WebCam Live! Ultra! and the default IM is Yahoo. I am trying to connect with a buddy on AOL IM but I keep getting an error message that the camera is being used by another program. I'm assuming it has something to do with the default setting on the WebCam Center to Yahoo. How do I change it to AOL or some other IM service?

  • How do I make my default instant transfer source always bank account

    I have a bank account and a debit card added to my paypal account. When I use the send money feature, and my balance is low, the system draws from my instant payment method to cover the remainder not available in my paypal account. I understand all that, the problem is that the default instant payment source is always set to the debit card, which incurs fees, by default. I know I can change that to the bank account, and I usually remember to do that, but what I want is to set the instant payment source to always draw from the bank account by default, never the debit card. In fact I don't want the card to EVER be used, even as a backup payment method. It's only there for my convenience in case I want to select is as a payment source at checkout, NEVER to be used by default, as instant payment source, or as backup. How can I set it up this way. Thanks!

    No one? Answer please. Thanks!

  • Unable to use Instant messanger or SMS in Yahoo Mail. When selected the pop up message box does not open.

    While using Yahoo Mail I have a contact trying to IM me. I go to Conversation and there is no dialog box that shows his message. Yet at the top of the tab it says "Keith sent you a message". I also go to open a new message box for Instant messenger or SMS I should get a pop up box for that application. I am using FireFox 9.0.1 for a browser and my OS is Win.7.

  • Why can't I use services like Instant messanging with my IPAD and I can on my MAC?

    With my IPAD I cannot use IM or view certain videos , but with my MAC desk top I can, what software can I add to my IPAD to allow the same functionality as my mac

    You can IM on the iPad, if you look in the AppStore Yahoo has an app and so does AIM.
    What kind of videos are you wanting to watch?  Are they divx/Xvid, .h264 etc?  The iPad reads MP4 video format so searching Google for Convert X(X being the video type) to MP4

  • Yahoo Instant Messanger login issues YIM

    So I have this problem with YIM.  When I am at another location I can log in no problem.  When I am at home using my IP I get the "Sorry, you have entered incorrect login credentials.  I go to my desktop and I am able to log in no problem both through wireless and Ethernet..  But there is something with my laptop and my home IP situation that I cannot log in at home.  I see lots of people who have the same error message, but I was able to add some extra info that its just isolated to my home and laptop situation.
    Anybody have similar issues or solutions for it?
    Im on 10.9.5  2.5 GHz and i7 core  8 GB  Not what is listed below

    Personally, I will wait for the following:
    1-apple to increase the memory to 32 GB. My itunes collection is 10 GB, and a 16GB ipod would leave room for only a few movies/pictures.
    2-improved battery performance. Apple would still have a VERY cool device even if it was a little thicker to accomodate a larger battery. This is probably the other biggest complaint i have seen in other forums.
    3-lifting of various limitations or "crippleware", such as the lack of being able to read flash websites, etc.
    4-better wi-fi sensitivity. I have read where it is not very capable of picking up signals.
    I would expect these to be improved in about 6 months, so if you can hold back that long, Apple, who has a habit of listening to its fanbase and improving its products, will do so here as well.
    March 2008, perhaps?

  • Iphone AOL Instant messanger issue

    Hello all,
    I'm having a problem logging into AIM on the iphone. Seems to have started with the 2.2 update. Every time I try to log on I get the following message: "your account is temporarily rate limited due to excessive number of sign ins. Please wait 5 minutes then try again." I have tried deleting the application and re-installing but that did not work.
    Please help.

    You may need to contact AOL technical support since the AIM app for the iPhone is provided by AOL.

  • Don't know how to start instant messaging with camera

    Hello to the Mac Family,
    Once again I am stuck while trying to help my son.
    He is on Winter break,,His girlfriend is on the West Coast..He is
    on the East Coast.
    So dad (me) went and bought him a web camera. I figured
    they could chat as usaul using AOL instant messanger, but add video
    to it. The Camera is a "rocketfish"notebook web cam about $50.00 US.
    I tried to phone them and checked their web site. No answer on phone
    and web-site not very functional.
    The camera came with a CD. In the CD is several apps for PC that look
    like controllers for the camera..thing like zoom rotate etc.
    The only thing on the CD is a driver for the camera that is for 10.2 or higher.
    His computer - G-4 I-Book runninng 10.4
    Her computer - Some PC notebook about a year old (Not sure of OS.
    Well now for the hard stuff....How do we start using the camera?
    I sign on to IM using my slot load 350 running 10.2.
    He connects to IM using the I-book. We do a direct connect and that is fine but
    we don't know what else to do.
    Not sure how to turn on the camera..it is usb powered.
    We are stumped....Searching on th web has not helped me at all.
    We are stuck.....Please help an old fool trying to keep
    romance growing..
    Happy New Year.....mGb.......Jim

    Hello Ralph,
    I am back and still trying.
    "In the meantime go to System Preferences > Accounts
    GO to the Admin account (hopefully you) and check the Login items
    Does this list the Camera Monitor or does the Desk Top item launch the app (Is it already launched in the background ?)"
    I went to system prefs and the camera and/or monitor are not listed as Login items.
    The camera monitor is an icon that is siiting on the desktop. After I plug in the camera, I double click
    the monitor icon and it opens a window. When it works correct the window is about 3x3 inches.
    It does have prefs to adjust video etc.
    The problem is ..most of the time when I double click the moitor icon, the smaller box appears. It is
    about 3" wide and 1/4" tall. It is like just a menu bar with no window showing the actual
    picture. The way I get it to work is go to the system profiler and highlight the camera. Then with this highlighted I open the monitor and see the camera video. My son seems to remember reading
    that when the camera is plugged in..the monitor window should open automatically. This never
    has happened. The only way I get the monitor to show is to double click it' s icon and open the app.
    When the camera is showing a picture in the monitor, we open I-Movie to see if it will see the camera.
    We make sure we hit the switch you highlited.. It says no camera installed. The only positive is that
    it always shows in the system profiler.
    If this was on a mac using 9.2 I would say it was an extension conflict and I would create a set of
    extensions using the extension manager and try to solve the problem. But this is X and I am pretty
    dumb about it.
    I just don't know if I should return the camera and try a different brand or what.
    I don't give up easy but this is hard....Thanks for you kind efforts.....Jim

  • I need someone Jabber/Instant Messaging

    The company that I consult for needs someone to help it with the deployment of Jabber based Instant Messaging. It will pay competitive rate. The company is based in NYC.
    Please let me know if you can do it, or refer a friend or a co-worker that can. Thanks for your help.

    What one has to do is basically install the Instant Messaging Jabber server and configure it, and be on call for support.
    What will also be necessary is the interface our db with the IM, so only the users from the db can be allowed to use the instant messanger.
    If that sounds like something you can do please let me know. Thanks

  • Trying to solve an unknown problem on my computer.

    I am currently trying to solve a problem that has screwed up many of my applications. iMovie, Windows Media Player, and AOL Instant Messanger on my computer are all malfunctioning for an unknown reason.
    I am not sure if this is the problem, but when this problem first began, I was using applications at the time called Sound Studio and Amadeus, which were sound recorder applications. I had set the microphone to line-in when I was transferring audio cassettes to mp3s. Later in the day, I noticed other applications were not working right.
    When I open, iMovie, and it loads a saved project, the loading bar will not move and all of these clips (Clip 01 to Clip 244.dv) will appear in the trash as iMovie document files. These files are Zero KB and do not even exist before I load the application. Then iMovie will finally be finished opening and I usually use it to import from my digital camcorder. It will detect it, however when I click on Import, it will load the import for about a second and then the button goes back to white, like I never clicked it at all. Also, when I click on play, it will detect that the camera is playing but the clip never appears on the iMovie screen, it stays on the "camera playing" blue screen. The clip on the camcorder is playing just fine. I can import existing files from my hard drive just fine however.
    With AOL Instant Messenger, it still works fine, but I have noticed that a few of the sounds are gone.
    With Windows Media Player 9 for OS X, whenever I tried loading a windows media file, it would tell me that it was compressed by using a codec that is not supported. The files have worked just fine until now.
    I had set the system preferences back to default before using any sound recorder applications, but it made no difference. I have tried re-installing all of these applications but that made no difference. Also, I ran virus scans with Virex 7 and ClamXav but no virus were found. Does anyone know what is causing all of this to happen?

    Try using Disk Utility to repair your startup disk (hard drive) as shown in Dr.Smokes Resolving Disk, Permission, and Cache Corruption. You may have some directory corruption.
    Most Mac users are using Flip4Mac as Windows Media Player is no longer supported by Microsoft for Macs. Fip4Mac runs those files thru QuickTime.
    Cheers!

    Hi..
    The operating system on the computer is it Windows XP? If yes then follow the following steps.
    click on start -> All Programs -> Linksys Wireless G -> Uninstall.
    After uninstall is successful, unplug the USB adapter from the computer.
    Insert the installation CD in the CD-ROM drive of your computer, when the start screen is fully loaded click on exit.
    Turn OFF the computer. Connect the wireless G USB adapter back to the computer. Restart the computer. Install only the drivers for the wireless card automatically.
    Connect to the wireless network.
    Also try the following setting on the router.
    Login to the router configuration page by typing http://192.168.1.1 (Default IP) in the Internet Explorer address bar.
    Leave the username field blank and in the password type " admin" (Default Passowrd).
    Click on wireless, when the wireless page is fully loaded , click on the sub-tab that says Advanced Wireless Setting.
    Set the Value of Beacon Interval =50, Fragmentation Threshold = 2306 and RTS Threshold = 2307.
    Save settings.

  • IChat signs off when I am away

    Hello, this is minor problem with iChat, and really doesn't affect the overall performance of the program, but it is kind of annoying considering I can't stay online when I am away from the computer.
    Here is the senario:
    I put my away message on and then get up and leave the computer. The screensaver then comes on followed by 'sleep' mode. When the computer goes into 'sleep' mode, iChat signs off. It only does this when I physically leave the computer. If I am sitting at my computer with the away message on, then I have no problem staying online.
    Sometimes it does this and oddly at other times it stays online without any problems. It is a problem that bugs me, but isn't too big of a deal. If the problem persists I'm considering downloading a version of AOL Instant Messanger for Mac. Does anyone have any suggestions or comments?
    Thank you, I appreciate your responses.

    Antother solution for problems simular as described by asantaniello:
    Issue or symptom
    After upgrading to Mac OS X 10.4.8, some Intel-based computers may not auto-connect to remembered networks that use WPA2 or WEP security. This article explains how to correct this behavior.
    Products affected
    Macs with Intel Core Duo-based processors:
    MacBook
    MacBook Pro (all models)
    Mac mini (Early 2006)
    iMac (Early 2006)
    Mac OS X 10.4.8
    Solution
    To restore the auto-connect feature:
    From the Apple menu, choose System Preferences.
    Select the Network pane.
    From the "Show:" drop-down menu, choose "AirPort".
    Make sure the "By default, join:" pop-up menu is set to "Preferred networks." (If it was set to "Automatic networks", you can set it back to Automatic after the next step.)
    Select any network that shows WPA2 security and use the minus button to remove those networks from the list.
    Once all WPA2 networks have been removed from the list, use the plus button to add them back. (You will need the appropriate passwords for the wireless network.) If it's more convenient, you can wait to re-add the networks until you use them—when you use a network, it will be added to the list automatically.
    If in step 3, your default was Automatic rather than Preferred, go ahead and change your default back to Automatic.
