Does iChat 2.1 on OSX 10.3.9 and Quicktime 7.03 player support H. 264 compr

Hi
Do both parties in a video iChat get high quality H. 264 compression based on the following configuration?
- my Mac: iChat 2.1, OSX 10.3.9 and quick time player 7.03
- other mac: ichat 3.0, OSX 10.4.x and quick time player 7.03
Thanks

If both parties have Quicktime 7 then then will use the H264 codec as first choice. There are some situations when it will drop back to H263 (But hardly worth mentioning as it involves problems with Quicktime hat can be solved with a reinstall of Quicktime).
It does not matter which iChat they are on just the Quicktime bit.

Update OSX 10.4.7 and Quicktime 7.1.2 Quicktime will not work anymore

After updating to osx 10.4.7 and Quicktime 7.1.2, Quicktime crashes everytimee it is opened. Safari crashes when any page containing a quicktime movie is open and system preferences crashes when trying to access the quicktime preferences.
The only time Quicktime has worked is when I booted in Safeboot. I previously had quicktime pro and the crash logs seem to indicate a crash when trying to license quicktime. I have trashed all preferences related to quicktime, run disk utility and applejack. removed all 3rd party extensions and statup items, and tried to delete the registration number for quicktime but it kept resetting itself to automatic. No avail.
Other programs I have installed on this computer are Final Cut Pro 5.0.4, and Kona2, and ajaIO.
Any suggestions on getting quicktime to run again.

hi chica chic--
what kind of install did you do? did you archive, or erase and install? was the screen problem there the second time before you did the update?? i would run the apple hardware test to see what it says. you can do this by putting in your install dvd for tiger and starting up holding the d key. take the full test instead of quick test. i would also try resetting the pmu on your macbook pro. this article http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303319 describes the procedure and gives some info about it. best of luck.

ITunes 10.6.3, OSX 10.5.8 and Quicktime 7.5.5

itunes 10.6.3 will not start under osx 10.5.8 unless Quicktime 7.5.5 or newer is installed. But apple.com will not let me download that version. Anybody with the same problem?

OSX 10.8.4 and Quicktime 10.2

I just downloaded a .mov file. When I try to open it I get the error message "the file could not be opened. The movies file format isn't recognized" . Any suggestions?

For a video to be playable in Quicktime, it needs to be a compatible file format (which a .mov file is) and the correct codec.
You can find the Quicktime compatible codecs here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3775
You can also get info on your .mov file (right click on the file and click Get info) and look at the More Info section to see what the codec is and if is in the list of compatible codecs for Quicktime.
If your file is not a compatible codec, you will need to convert it using a video conversion software.

Can anyone help?

Hi howardc94036148,
Can you Please attach a screenshot (How to post a screenshot in the forum ) and explain how you are installing flash player on you system and how did you download the flash player installer?
In the meanwhile you can you try Uninstalling any remain of Flash Player on your system using - Uninstall Flash Player | Mac OS and Re-installing using - Installation problems | Flash Player | Mac - NPAPI for Safari or Firefox and PPAPI for Opera or Opera Dev.
Let us know if this helps.

Does iChat in Lion have video calls with Yahoo messenger??

Does iChat in Lion have video calls with Yahoo messenger?
so far is supports only AIM and Apple ID for video chat but in Lion iChat supports Yahoo messenger, do they have video calling also or only text chat is offered in this version?

Hi all,
iChat will Video to other iChat users for Jabber (Google, Facebook and others) and Yahoo Names.
In neither case will it Video to any Web browser access to the service the buddy may be on such as the Google Mail web mail or iGoogle pages access to the chat option.
Nor will it video to any Standalone app (There is one for PC for GoogleTalk) and obviously the Yahoo app on both PCs and Macs.
iChat has not done this since Jabber was added at iChat 3 (OS 10.4/Tiger) some while ago.
The AIM for Mac app has never been able to do Video.
Video chatting to the AIM app for PCs can be fraught but is supposed to work.
It also tends to work to the Trillian App with the Pro Add-on (which Costs)
The Yahoo for Mac 3 Beta has been in beta for years. It could be argued that it has never been "Supported"
iChat 6 's behaviour may not be what you want but it is entirely consistent with iChat 3 through 5 with the Jabber options.

Does iChat support JPEG video streaming

Dear Sir,
I would like to capture image and then encode to JPEG format and then send the JPEG file to iChat 15 times per second. Does iChat can display the JPEG file properly?
Thanks!
Best Regards,
sunshine_uyl

Ok,
Some more backing up and standing back from this.
I am still trying to interpret what it is exactly you are wishing to do.
If this "board" is something you want to use as a Camera source and it supplies or rather can supply stills of one form or another at 15fps then I don't think this is going to possible.
As one source iChat can use DV format in it's plainest form. (NOT DV or any proprietary versions)
As another iChat can since OS X 10.4.9 use the UVC driver to access USB 2.0 UVC compliant cameras
iChat has some support folders in the /System/Library and the Frameworks and PrivateFrameworks.
These control which video feeds it allows in a sort of "Native" form if you like.
This is through the CVPixelBuffer and the CVOpenGLBuffer (CV = Constant Video)
At least for iChat 4 in Leopard - I am having difficulty in working out where they have moved things in iChat 5/Snow Leopard)
Certain USB 1.1 Cameras that have Mac Drivers Installed on the Mac still need a third Party utility (iUSBCam) to convert the video from that camera into something iChat can use.
Mostly these were VGA output (See Here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Webcam#Technology)
Certain IM apps such as Yahoo for Mac use a web cam but provide a collection of rapid Stills much like you talk about to give the appearance of movement.
There are certain apps that can do the same and Stream those as a Live feed to a web site. See Evocam or Security Spy
On the other hand can iChat deal with jpegs or in fact any Still format the answer is yes.
In iChat 4 and higher there is iChat Theatre and iPhoto Share.
iPhoto Share can play a Slide Show of anything in a collection/Slide show that has been set up in iPhoto (best to turn Music Off in my book).
As this could be a folder within iPhoto I toyed with the idea of getting new pics into iPhoto fast enough to display in s Slide show but have not checked what the fastest display a Slide show can manage but doubt it is 15 a sec.
iChat Theatre can be used to display the docs from other apps
For Instance it can play Movies. If you have Quicktime Add-on plug-ins to display a movie on your Mac than it can play almost anything. (Perian can play Dvix for instance along with others and Flip4Mac can play .avi files and other Windows formats).
It can also display the slides for Powerpoint or Keynote (Pays to change the Side Ratio to 4:3 or better still Square to fit the Chat Video Chat window).
I must admit to not having tried that many other apps but the same should apply in a lot of cases.
In both case your Video feed is replaced with a "Stream" of the App or file in question.
Next.
iChat can also do Backdrops in Video Chats on Intel macs.
The Backdrop can be a single Still or a Movie (you are asked to step out of the Frame so it can register the background where you sit and then replaces that with the Movie or Pic). You don't have to step back into view and it could then "Stream" that pic.
These are created by Quartz files splitting the Cameras Feed off from the background and adding either Filters for the Effects or Adding Pics or Movies for Backdrops.
These files are created with Quartz Composer (Installed with Developers Tools on Your Install Disk > Optional Installs).
Whether Quartz Composer can be made to "See" the Input from the "board" I am not sure. (Image seems to be one Still Only and Video seems to be the Camera (I did not spend long looking at how the controls/source might be tweaked).
Thirdly.
I was discussing this with EZ Jim, a level 4 poster who hangs out mostly in the iSight Forum.
He was wondering if you meant getting the board to Chat with iChat like it was a Buddy (and then presumingly recording the Video chat, to get around the USB input constraint.
If the board was Internet able and could Interact with either a Jabber Server or the AIM Servers (run an AIM or Jabber client that was Video Capable) it would have to send data in the H264 Video format.
I don't think this is what you meant but I thought I would pose it for clarification.
Another possibility is a DV converter as a Standalone items between the board and the Mac.
I had one that had RCA, S-Video and Firewire inputs.
This would be an expensive option and depend on what outputs the board has physically
Summary.
Board as camera I don't think is likely unless it can produce DV Video
My 8 1/2 year old G4/1Ghz Dual Processor (Mirrored Door Tower) can handle an USB 2.0 UVC complaint camera.
It has handled DV input from a DV converter in the past.
It basically depends on the Pic size in this case (Aim for 640 X 480 pixels as a Max)
Boards as Means to Input a feed like other apps for iChat Theatre would depend somewhat on the working space or Doc that was created.
I would have to play around with a few more to find out what the limitation were.
(At this point I would imagine using a single file that was being updated 15 time a sec but have difficulty thinking that many processors would cope with that let alone access it at the same time as another app was updating it.)
I have a feeling iPhoto can not play a Slide Show with each pic being only 4 secs "long". It may also not cope with a folder that was having more pics added to it (Can't add Photos to Slide show on the fly as it were)
I do feel the Quartz Composer route may have merit.
Quartz Composer does allow Input from several sources an may be able to "see" the board directly over USB rather then importing a file.
In may well be able to Input a series of files which would mean the board having an App on the computer to save the files to then read.
This would require learning some new skills and take a while to set up.
Although getting Pic into iChat and sending them to 1 person in a video chat would inherently be more secure there may be other ways of getting a series of Pic as "video" feed on to a web page or other Broadcast method.
See EZ Jim's list http://www.ralphjohns.co.uk/EZJim/EZJimpage7.html in the top left hand section and Nannycam at the bottom.
If the Board can Export in Streaming Flash then also see the items 9 through 12 in this section http://www.ralphjohns.co.uk/page5.html#_othe
I may receive some form of compensation, financial or otherwise, from my recommendation or link.
Essentially I don't think there is an Easy Way to do this.

TS4036 where does icloud store my mac osx recovery key?

where does icloud store my mac osx recovery key for file vault?

Note that you have to have specifically chosen to store the key with Apple at the time you created the FileVault encryption, and chosen security questions so that you can identify yourself when you come to retrieve it. If you did not store it with Apple in this way and do not have a record of it elsewhere then you cannot proceed. All this has nothing to do with iCloud and the process is not automatic.

Backup first
It is always best to have a full bootable backup before you upgrade. If you fail to do this you will be unable to return to this OS if you decide you don't like the new OS. Also there is a slight chance that an install could lose everything on the Mac. The backup must be to an external hard disk. Preferably use Carbon Copy Cloner to make a bootable backup of the whole disk.
Erase before the install
Once you have a bootable backup on an external disk it is best to erase the internal disk with the new installer DVD before you install.
During the install
Preferably do not import any data or preferences from earlier OSs during the install process as this can reintroduce bugs.
OS numbers and names
OS X 10.4.x - Tiger
OS X 10.5.x - Leopard
OS X 10.6.x - Snow Leopard
OS X 10.7.x - Lion
OS X 10.8.x - Mountain Lion
More about Macs
The Apple History site has specifications for every Mac ever produced: http://www.apple-history.com/
Upgrade to Leopard
Those wishing to upgrade to Leopard should be aware that install disks can be expensive unless you contact Apple. Details: http://lowendmac.com/deals/best-os-x-leopard-prices.html Standard Leopard installers impose several hardware limitations including speed and RAM size but all these restrictions can be overcome. Google for details. Leopard works well at 500 MHz with 1 GB of RAM and many happy users have less than this.
Upgrade beyond Leopard
OSs beyond OS X 10.5.8 require an Intel processor. If in doubt check this: Click the apple at the top left of your screen and select 'About this Mac'. This will give you your OS number. Then click 'More Info' to see which processor you have. If it says PowerPC you cannot upgrade to Snow Leopard and above. If you have an Intel Mac it is well worth upgrading to Snow Leopard now and then considering other options after that. You can buy Snow Leopard here: http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A
Upgrade beyond Snow Leopard

Check that your Mac complies with any requirements. If you are not in the US you should use the Change Country link at the bottom of Apple pages.

Why does iChat reject my correct password?

Hello,
iChat was working last night; however, this morning it couldn't access my gmail account. I keep getting a prompt that says, "iChat can’t log in to [email protected] because your login ID or password is incorrect." However, I'm absolutely sure my password is correct. iChat never asks me for my password to begin with. Also, I tried deleting my account and creating it again, but that didn't work either. I don't understand why this is happening. My friend tried to sign in using her gmail account and iChat didn't reject her password.
Any suggestions?

Hi,
Start with going to the iChat Preferences > Accounts > Server Setting tab (for the Google account)
Is SSL On ?
Is the server name talk.google.com ?
Login to the Google Mail page and check the Password you need to do this.
Also compare the Name you have to use and the one in iChat (There is a difference in @gmail.com and @googlemail .com)
Open Applications/Utilities and the Keychain Access app.
In here look in Applications and Passwords (lower left) fro the Google ID.
Double click the entry to bring up the Info Panel.
First check the access tab is allowing iChat (All apps or does list iChat as well as your Browser)
Return to the Attributes tab
Place a tick in the Show Password box. (A dialogue box will appear want the Login password and for you to Confirm (Allow Once ) )
Is the Password now shown the right one ?
Before changing anything go to the Finder > Go Menu > Go to Folder and enter:-
~/Library/Keychains
There should only be one there normally.
If you have more the login one is the one you want.
Highlight it and then do a Get Info (Finder's File Menu)
Check the bottom Ownership and PErmissions tab
Open the Padlock
Click the Cogwheel icon at the bottom
It shoud say "Make (YourShortanme (me) the Owner" in greyed out text if you are the owner.
(You should be in the list as well)
On the right of your name do you have Read and Wirite Permissions ?
If you are not the Owner then make it so.
If you do Not have Read and Write permissions then change that as well.
Try iChat again before changing the Password in the Keychain.
If all the above appear to be correct then go to System Preferences > Network
Click the Advanced Button for your Connection method.
In the DNS tab is anything listed ?
(A greyed out IP of the router does not count.)
If none show access your Router's settings and manually enter the IPs for DNS server s it lists.
If none show then add 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 to the DNS tab in Network manually.

Firefox, Safari, and PhotoShop each handle embedded color profiles differently.
