Does anyone know how to chat with iChat 5 connected to a pc with Vista/Aim?

I still can't video chat with relative who has Vista and AIM.
Has anyone actually succeeded with this?

Hi,
Since iChat 3 and AIM on a PC at AIM 5.9 this does seem to have gotten more and more difficult.
To Summarise.
Allow AIM App through Windows Firewall
If The routing device uses UPnP Enable that as well.
In the routing device make sure the AIM port are allowed (If not using UPnP then port 5190, 443 and 1024-5000 should be forwarded)
AS iChat is one of the AIM Clients that can not work with "Real Time" in AIM 6.5 and upwards this should be turned Off at the AIM end.
The six names in Table 1 should be added to Test with (preferably at both ends).
These names show IPs as if they are connected direct to the Internet (No Routing device meaning NO NAT) and can be more successful than your Buddies because of this.
At the Mac End.
The Firewall in Snow Leopard can be Off
If ON, it should have Allowed Signed Apps enabled in the Advanced Button and iChat added to the list.
In the routing device the use of UPnP is better as it allows you to Screen Share in iChat with other Mac Buddies using iChat.
Alternatives.
This section of my Page 5 http://www.ralphjohns.co.uk/page5.html#_other at items 9 through 12 (Web Based Video Chat sites)
Tokbox allows you to link to your existing Buddy Lists. Mebeam is the least fussy layout.
Other options at in the items 5 though 8 (Cross Platform apps that do the same sort of thing).
I may receive some form of compensation, financial or otherwise, from my recommendation or link.

  • Does anyone know how to manage the hotspot connections?

    Does anyone know how to manage the hotspot connections? Is there a way to see who is connected, disconnect a particular user, etc.? All I can see is the blue bar announcing the number of of connections.

    I should have phrased that better. I have multiple devices connected at the same time, sometimes I want to disconnect one only 1 of them. To do this I need to go to the device and disconnect or turn off the device. Is there a way I can disconnect selected devices on the phone? Not so much a matter of knowing who/what is connected, rather having control of these individual connections from the phone. Is this possible?

  • HT2008 Does anyone know how to save an ichat from my iphone to my mac laptop?

    A dear friend of mine passed away, and I want to save an important ichat of ours to my Mac laptop. (I believe part of the ichat an SMS text and part is an ichat but it shows up as one long text over several months). Does anyone know how to do this? I'm running Mac OS X Lion 10.7.4. Thank you very much!

    HI,
    So this is a conversation that is on the iPhone that has taken place over a period of time and has involved SMS  and iChat type Messages.
    I did this on my phone
    Go to Messages
    Go to the conversation you want to "Save"
    Use the Edit top right.
    Scroll the Conversation to the top
    Tap each line you want to send (somewhere)
    Each will get a red tick and the Forward  and Delete option at the bottom become Active.
    Once I had several lines ready I chose the Forward Option and sent them to my Apple ID I use in Messages Beta  (i.e I sent is as an iMessage)
    The result is a single iMessage with all the lines (selected) justified to the left  (it does not separate you and your Buddy's parts)
    Picture
    If your iPhone is in the United States and the Carrier support AIM SMS forwarding you may be able to send it to yourself, in iChat, via that method.
    You may have some luck with http://www.apple.com/itunes/inside-itunes/2010/04/how-to-grab-screenshots-on-iph one-ipad-and-ipod-touch.html
    I have yet to find a way to email the Messages/Conversation.

  • Does anyone know how my clients can sign my adobe pdf invoice with a signature pad

    Does anyone know how i can have my clients sign my adobe pdf digital signature field on my contacts on site with a signature pad?

    Make sure you click in the text box for username and password to bring up the keyboard.
    Try powering off your iPad by holding the power button and sliding the red slider when it appears, or try resetting your iPad by holding the power and home buttons together until the apple logo appears.
    I would also highly recommend an app for facebook, it's called MyPad.

  • I recently bought an Epson Artisan 837 printer. I installed the driver and now Photoshop from CS3 will not open. It quits when the Twain portion of the program starts loading. Does anyone know how to fix this so my printer will work with Photoshop??

    I recently bought an Epson Artisan 837 printer. I installed the driver and now Photoshop from CS3 will not open. It closes every time it gets to the point where it is loading the Twain portion. Does anyone know how to fix this so my printer and Photoshop will work together? Thanks for any help I can get!

    You're welcome. 
    But, no, don't look to  Epson for fixes to their  driver in newer versions, and Adobe has deprecated the TWAIN plug-in.  Hoping for a solution there is futile.  That has not happened and it's never going to happen.  The consensus is that it's pretty foolish to tie up Photoshop to scan.  Honestly.
    Any improvement in the behavior of newer versions of the Epson drivers in that regard would be pure coincidence.
    You need to understand that you never, ever scan "within" Photoshop, as Photoshop has no scanning capabilities whatsoever.  When you use the Import > Twain plug-in all you are doing is blocking Photoshop while you call up the stand-alone Epson scanning software.  If you think about it, its most inefficient.
    VueScan has a pretty powerful scanning plug-in that can be called from the Impost menu—if you insist.  VueScan is not free, but it's a pretty good value, IMO.
    As for the Epson CD printing software, I have no clue.  Sorry.

  • Does anyone know how to save to sharepoint from Acrobat XI pro with SDK or Javascript?

    The goal is to have Acrobat Pro watch a folder, OCR any document that appears, then save it to sharepoint using the contents of the file name to determine certain meta data.
    If watching a folder is not practical then it can be run manually, but it would be better if it could watch the folder.  I tried searching but I am having difficulty finding examples of saving to sharepoint using the built-in javascript capability or the SDK.
    If anyone can point me to or show me an example of any of these issues I would appreciate it.  In the end I will need to find the documents, OCR them, take apart the file name to determine metadata and destination location, save to sharepoint, delete the original file.

    I think I will need to see a javascript sample that sets key metadata for the document to be saved, and some kind of documentation on how to tell the Action to save to sharepoint.  I assumed it would be pretty straight forward but I am having trouble finding any kind of documentation.
    Also as files are processed, I need to move them so they don't get processed again.  I was thinking that in addition to putting them in sharepoint it would make sense to move the move to a processed directory as a backup and delete the original.
    I did not see that option in action either, so I could use come guidance.

  • Does anyone know how to make my old blackberry curve 8900 work with my new sim card that has been set up on my 9360?

    i hate my new blackberry 9360  it never gave me a days hassle and i want to use it for the remainder of my contract as the 9360 is just a pain and full of problems and no matter what i do i cannot get an alternative phone despite the fact that i am a high spender with loyalty of over 10 years to my supplier.  i do not want to use a fixed second hand phone.  the reason we get a new phone is emphasis on new.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    back to using a proper phone - please make some more blackberrys like the old 8900 as it is a sturdy, reliable phone.
    so my paid for brand new but got second hand repaired 9360 will sit in a box for two years.

  • Does anyone know how to save waveform data (Write to Measurement File) with a variant iteration?

    I'm using LV8.5.1

    I would pull your save data loop to it's own loop then make it event driven like I did in the example. This is just an example and there are probably ways to make the code better and faster but I am just trying to give you an example that we can build on. I am not reall sure what you itterations was for other than to give your loop enough time to save. By seperating the two loops the save no longer depends on the data acquisition loop.

  • I have an original iPad and downloaded the new operating system.  Now' I cannot write on my Contacts or Calendar apps, and my Pages app (purchased) has lost the ability to use the bold, underline, and italics functions.  Does anyone know how to fix these

    I have an original iPad and downloaded the new operating system.  Now, I cannot add to my contacts or calendar apps, and Pages ( which I purchased) is not allowing me to use the bold, underline, and italics functions.  Does anyone know how to solve this problem?

    No, it stays with the current OS (iOS5 in this case) - Apple doesn't allow downgrading iOS
    If you are syncing to a desktop, you shoudln't lose anything. If you aren't syncing, then that's the first thing you should do, to protect contacts etc.
    the other thing is, when the iPad is connected to iTunes, right-click its name in the Devices list and choose Back Up.
    That way, when yoiu do the restore, everything should come back as was.
