Does iChat support Google Talk, MSN, and Yahoo! Messenger?

I know that iChat works with AIM and .Mac, but does it support Google, MSN, and Yahoo? I hope it does because it wouldn't make sense it didn't...

  • Connecting iChat AV 3.1.4 and Yahoo Messenger

    I have a G5 PowerMac running OS X 10.4.6 with iChat AV 3.1.4 and an iSight web cam, and my son has a PC (running some version of Windows) with Yahoo Messenger and a web cam. By using Yahoo Messenger, I can see his web cam at a 1 frame per second frame rate. However, I haven't yet figured out how to get him to be able to see what my iSight sees, and he tells me that because I have a Mac, he can't operate Yahoo Messenger in "Super Web Cam" mode (with a much higher frame rate).
    From what I've read on the web, including in this discussion forum, it seems like there are solutions to this problem. I had suggested to my son that we try to connect using Jabber and ICQ, but for some reason that didn't seem to work. I think he said that ICQ made his PC hang. Perhaps there was some detail that we overlooked . . .
    Can anyone offer me some wisdom on how to overcoome these problems?
    Thanks!!

    Hi cccmjpd,
    Welcome To The Apple Discussion Pages.
    If the PC user is using AIM then the video quality cna be reduced and the frame rate will go up.
    I am not sure if there is a such a setting in Yahoo!

  • MSN and Yahoo Messenger for MAC do not offer voice and CAM features

    Greetings and Happy New Year to all
    I have asked this question twice before and nobody seems to be able to help.
    I travel alot and just purchased a Powerbook 12 inch. I miss my windows notebook because I was able to use my CAM and Chat with my kids when I need to travel. I also have a Imac G5 and I should have learned that I could not use CAM or Voice on it either.
    I just want to know " is there a third party program which has voice and CAM capabilities????????? If anyone can guide me here I would appreciate it very much.
    Sincerely
    Edward

    You want the latest version of aMSN. It works great for webcam use. And the website should have instructions about your firewall issue.

  • Isight works with photo booth but not in ichat or google talk or skype?

    isight works with photo booth but not in ichat or google talk or skype?

    Hi
    Is this an Internal or External iSight ?
    In iChat, in the Video Menu (This is to the right of Buddies and may read Audio) is Camera Enabled Ticked ?
    If it reads Audio open the Connection Doctor from that same menu.
    In the connection Doctor open the Capabilities tab
    Does it say your Internet Connection is too slow ?
    At this point I would need to know which iChat Version.
    However also look in the View Menu.
    Is Show VIdeo Status ticked ?  (this shows green Icons next to your Buddy Pic and those of your Buddies
    Next go to the iChat Menu > Preferences > Video Section
    Do you see a preview here ?
    Re: GoogleTalk
    Have you enabled TALK on your Google Account Settings ?
    You need to have a Google Mail ID (Not any other sort of Google ID)
    Have you downloaded the Intel only Web Browser Plug-in to do Video in a  Web Browser.

  • My Isight is not working on skype and yahoo messenger but works on photobooth and ichat

    My Isight is not working on skype and yahoo messenger but works on photobooth and ichat.
    Ive reset my SMC and PMU but it still does not work. Only black screen appears on skype with a loading sign that takes so long. The light signal on the cam doesnt turn on as well which indicates that it is really not working.

    Regarding Skype, post in the Mac Skype forums on Skype's website.  It's where all the Mac Skype users hang out.
    Regarding Yahoo, contact its customer tech support department.

  • How to make iChat receive google.talk chat from a web page?

    I have set up a google talk account and can login in to via iChat 5.0 on Snow Leopard to that Jabber account. I have placed a google talk applet on my web page for people to chat to me for customer service reasons. But the chat only appears if I have my iGoogle web page open and not in my iChat window, which is what I would prefer.
    The web page with the google chat link enabled is at www.federatefilms.com
    Thanks
    Kevin

    If this a Text Based I do not completely recognise the iFrame link you have.
    The AIM Method links to both On and Offline Statuses as you can see in the Show Source of this page for my link top and bottom of the Page here http://www.ralphjohns.co.uk/ContactTesters.html

  • Firefox 5 does not support Google Tool Bar

    Firefox 5 does not support Google Tool Bar

    If it's an extension, it probably still works just fine with Firefox 5.0. However, because of Firefox' poor compatibility design, until Trend Micro releases a new version, you need to install Mozilla's Add-On Compatibility Reporter extension from https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/15003 and restart Firefox twice.
    Each extension specifies the maximum compatible version, which is probably 4.0 in your case as Firefox did not give devs any time to verify and re-release their extensions for version 5.0.
    The Add-On Compatibility Reporter extension basically tells Firefox to ignore the maximum compatible version so the extension can still work on version 5.0, just like it did on 4.0.

  • Does Photoshop support google input tool tamil type?

    I am trying to type Tamil text in Photoshop CS3. I typed Tamil text using Google input tool then pasted in Photoshop, but it is not working.
    Does photoshop support google input tool? If so what am I missing?
    If photoshop does not support google input tool.

    Welcome to the forum.
    Do you have a Tamil font installed in your OS?
    If so, and Ps cannot use that, you might need to try other Tamil fonts. Ps is sensitive to font construction, and if the font is not written exactly to spec., Ps has issues with it.
    Good luck,

  • Torch 9800 - Mobile Data and BIS not activated - Mail & Browse fail, Opera Mini is slow and MSN and Yahoo go in timeout

    I have a BB Torch 9800 with OS 6.0 Bundle 2534
    I had a contract with the Mobile Operator including the Data Package and everything was working fine, I have access to the mail through BIS, MSN Messenger and Yahoo Messenger was working Ok, as far as Whatsup. Also the Browser was working Ok.
    When I was on roaming I have settled “Roaming Off” in “Mobile Network Options” to just use Internet over Wi-Fi when I was under the Wi-Fi coverage.
    Then I’ve decided to migrate the contract to “Recharchable” and also decided to dismiss the Data Packet because of cost limitations. Now I have BIS in “not connected” state.
    Problem now is that I cannot get the apps working when connected to any Wi-Fi AP.
    Mail is not working. MSN & Yahoo returns the message “Unable to find the requested server” when attempting to login. The Browse is also not working and only Opera Mini seems to work but it takes several minutes to build a page.
    I’ve also tried to ping the AP and it rarely succeed, sometimes all attempts are failing, sometimes one attempt succeed.
    It seems to my eyes that there is a terribly big delay and some applications (except mail and browse that shows not to work) go in timeout with the message previously described.
    I’m not sure whether BIS access or no access is influencing the BB behavior with a Wi-Fi connection and making dramatically slower.
    The BB connects at Layer 1 with the AP because I can see the BB MAC address at the AP’s menu. I’ve tried also with DHCP Client and Manual IP configuration, no way.
    I’ve found at http://forums.crackberry.com/general-blackberry-discussion-f2/unable-find-requested-server-bb-9330-a... that it could be a bug in the 6.0.
    I’ve searched tons of forum postings and it seems no one has the clue of this problem. Unfortunately the Torch 9800 cannot be upgraded to the 7.x. this is really bad as it seems I have purchased a “dead” mobile phone.
    Of course I’ve tried with lots a different Aps. I’m a technician and I think I’ve done a proper troubleshooting before to come to this conclusion.
    Anyone has an update about this problem or, I have no other chance than throwing away this phone and purchase a nice Samsung Note II hopping not be blocked with another unexpected showstopper.
    Thanks in advance.

    The only two options available to you are adding BIS to your plan or continue using Opera which works outside of BIS (the BlackBerry browser does not).
    Cheers.

  • Ichat 4 + Google Talk + file transfer

    Hi!
    I'm trying to send files from iChat to iChat both with GoogleTalk
    accounts without success.
    The file transfer window displays that it is preparing but this goes
    on forever. At the receiver the file transfer windows says
    calculating.
    Both are using 10.5.2 with an up to date iChat. Firewall is off.
    ScreenSharing and Audio/Video is working fine.
    I tested it with .Mac accounts and there file transfering is working
    without any problems.
    Thanks for any hint to solve this problem. It is really bothering me.
    Cheers,
    Stefan

    I've tested this between my Google Talk account and my Jabber account. I used iChat on my Mac Mini to connect to iChat on my MacBook. Both are running 10.5.2. I found that for Jabber file transfers there are two phases. In phase 1 the Chat clients negotiate the file transfer parameters using the server as an intermediary. In phase 2 the receiver uses TCP to connect to the port from phase 1. If the connection is successful the file transfer begins. If it fails the sender can offer another IP address/port for transfer and the receiver can try again. This goes on until the sender has exhausted his list of available IP addresses and ports.
    Problems with file transfer will usually happen at phase 1. At the end of phase 1 the Chat client that wishes to send the file sends a message that details the IP address and port for the receiver. The receiver should try to connect to this IP address and port and get the file. This will fail if there is either a NAT or a Firewall between the receiver and the sender. A NAT botches the transfer because iChat doesn't do anything to try to figure out what it's real address is. A firewall botches the transfer by discarding the inbound TCP SYN packets that initiate the communication between sender and receiver. This is made worse by the fact that as sender iChat doesn't use the same TCP port for transfer all the time.
    In the end file transfer will work for two chat clients that can deliver packets between each other. Two people on the same LAN or on two seperate addresses that are neither NATed nor Firewalled. I've also got this going for people who have a VPN. iChat doesn't help you here. In fact it makes things worse by not choosing a constant port which means that arranging for transfer in your firewall policy is problematic. Ideally a chat client like Psi can be made to work. Psi allows the user to specify both the port and IP address specified in transfer.

  • Why Apple does not support from Iran? And why not open a store in Iran?

    Why Apple does not support from Iran? And why not open a store in Iran?

    You think this is an injustice?
    I think that injustice relates to rights that are not honored or respected, and I think we can agree that in no circumstance, human, civil, political or legal, is having or owning an Apple ID, or any other consumer item, a right.
    Why should this happen? ...Iraq ... Afghanistan....
    I believe that Apple, and most American companies, would love to have access to every market in the world, and Iran certainly (or at least, potentially) represents a larger market for Apple products than many countries in which they do business. So, given the choice, they'd be there.

  • Voice chat with MSN or YAHOO Messenger on Nokia 77...

    Hi,
    Does anyone know if it is possible to use to voice chat feature in IM programs like MSN and YAHOO on Nokia 770?
    I appreciate your help.

    AIUI you can only voice-chat on googleTalk. pidgin might be able to do voice clips on windows for msn sometime. clicking-out to voip might be your best bet. HTH.

  • Mail, Safari, Software Update and Yahoo Messenger crash on startup in 10.4.

    I'm running a G4 Dual 1 Ghz with 1.5 Ram on 10.4.9 and Mail, Safari, iPhoto, Software Update and Yahoo Messenger crash on startup. Pro Tools (which is why I remain on 10.4.9) Firefox (which is how I can communicate now) and iTunes work fine.
    iPhoto crashed and never started again back when I was on Panther. However, all the others started crashing on startup shortly after I upgraded from 10.4 to 10.4.9.
    I have run Disk Utility to verify disk and repair permissions. With the exception of iPhoto, it seems that the others crash when it starts to stream from the Internet.
    Any ideas?

    Here's what console showed. Not much:

    My assumption on things such as Mail and Safari is that once I upgraded the system those applications would upgrade as well. As to Yahoo Messenger, I downloaded the proper version and reinstalled, but it crashes as well.
    Seems to be something when it's about to connect to the Internet--with the exception of Firefox, which is why I can post now.
    Mike
    PS -- I'd consider the 10411 combo update, but Digidesign only supports Pro Tools 7.4 up to 10.4.9. That said, many people use it with 10.4.11 and I'll definitely try the 10.4.11 upgrade before I try an entire system reinstall.

  • How do I get my webcam working on my skype and yahoo messenger, even though it is working well on photo booth?

    How do i get my webcam working on my skype and yahoo messenger, even though my cam is working on photo booth ( and i am tlking of the mbp with latest OX).

    you need to go into the preferences of the actual programs and make the proper settings...
    Such as in Yahoo, go to preferences, Webcam tab, sub tab Video and make sure you have the proper camera selected in the drop down menu of video source. In your case built-in isight camera.
