  • How do I add a buddy in imessage, how does video chat work?

    We upgraded to Mt. Lion when it first came out, and generally have found it all very good.  However, one of the features that we used frequently was ichat.  It was simple to setup and easy to use (we would video chat with my in-laws so they could see the grand kids).
    Since upgrading, it has become much more unclear how to do this.  iChat is gone, and has been replaced with iMessage.  Now there are AIM accounts, Bounjour, Google Talk, Yahoo, jabber, etc.  I get that the idea was to build a comprehensive iMessage client, but we just want to understand what we could do before in iChat.
    When I go into help for iMessage, there is a link for video chatting.  Here's what it says:
    If you start a video chat with someone using iMessage, you start a video call in FaceTime, which is a separate app. For information about FaceTime video calls, see the following:
    FaceTime Help
    If you start a video chat with someone using AIM (including me.com and Mac.com), Jabber, Google Talk, or Bonjour, you’ll video chat in Messages.
    ***?  I realize that all of the documentation is trying to describe all of the different ways that things can work, but I need to call my father-in-law and tell him very simply what he needs to set up on his end, what I need to set up on my end, and how we connect. 
    When I attempt to Add a buddy in iMessage, all of the item are greyed out except Send File ...
    Is there an easy step-by-step guy for this?
    Thanks!

    You can use any which you prefer...
    Be it his phone number (international format) or his appleid email or any other email he added to the iMessage settings...
    But it always works on number and appleid for iPhones (unless the person disabled one of them himself)...

  • Audio+Video Chat works but one small problem.Pls help.

    HI..
    as i had posted once before in a different query's thread, i have implemented audio and video chat using AVTRansmit2 and avreceive2.
    audio and video chat work well.By video chat i mean not only video but VIDEO+AUDIO as well.. just like usual yahoo video chat.
    But the problem is like this:-=
    I have given an option for user to switch from audio chat to video chat.
    now if a user first goes to audio chat and then switched to video chat,
    then the problem comes. When he's shifted to video chat i close down previous Audio chat by RTPManager.dispose() , i close the player and everything..
    and then i start Video transmit/receive "ALONG WITH" audio transmit/receive..
    No this time video starts but audio doesnt work ..
    it says"waiting for rtp data to arrive.... "
    The problem is that when this new stream of audio data comes, the receiver somehow thinks that its the same old stream since its from same transmitter IP.. and so it tries to UPDATE the previous stream.
    It means there is some problem with the close method or RTPManager.dispose() which should have disposed off all the stuff much before the new connection was made.
    PLS HELP ASAP>
    this is crunch time for my project.

    Hi anandreyvk . .
    well, i had tried doing removetargets and also, i had disposed RTPManager well. As it turns out the problem was not with any of it but it was the problem of me incorrectly passing RTPManager from AVReceive2 to AVTransmit2.
    Actually i am using just one RTPManager.. since i am receiving and transmitting on the same port.
    i've solved the problem but i am not sure if this is the right way .. what do you think ??
    is creating just one RTPManager {by that,i mean initializing it only once} a good idea ?? Since we are supposed to call both AVTransmit2 and AVReceive2 with the "LOCAL PORT" .. {which in itself is a matter of discussion though! } i and my project mate thought initializing RTPManager only once is a better option .
    Whats your take on all of this ?

  • Does video chat on the new Messager on Mac allow screen share or multiple people?

    does video chat on the new Messager on Mac allow screen share or multiple people?
    i noticed they said that facetime will basically be taking over video calls on the mac and that Messager will take over ichat, but i'm worried they're going to drop all the nice features they had on ichat, like being able to share screens while video chatting with someone. or being able to chat with 2 people at once on a video call.
    has anyone downloaded the beta of this yet and tried it out? i'm very curious

    Hi,
    You can start a Video chat with one Buddy and then chose Screen Share and providing you and the Buddy are using UPnP to open ports it will instantly convert to a Screen Share.
    A Screen Share is only 1-1 and is technically an Audio Chat +
    The Plus bit is an VNC connection alongside the Audio Chat.
    This VNC connection uses a random port - hence the need to use UPnP to open the ports in the router (Or Port Mapping Protocol) in  Apple Base Station.
    There used to be Add-ons that allowed the Desktop as Video Feed which would have been a sort of Screen Share but none of these have been updated for Lion.
    An Example is iUSBCam  (ShowMacster was another - My link no longer works)
    CamCamX maybe a possibility if it works in Lion  (It does say it neess iUSBCam for iChat)

  • Does iMessages only work when writing to people who have i05, or can you write to people using other systems ?

    I have an iPad 2, but have never yet been able to send a iMessage....does this only work when writing to people who also have i05, or can you also write to people who use other systems ?
    iMessages is turned on on my system, but even when writing to people who I know have iPads or iPhones , I just get the red exclamation mark....
    Sending messages on my iPhone seems to work okay when sending to non iPhone users, so I don't understand what's wrong here .

    From http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3529 :
    iMessage allows you to send unlimited text, photos, videos, locations, and contacts using Wi-Fi or 3G* from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to other iOS 5 users.
    Note: On iPhone, if iMessage is unavailable, the message may be sent as SMS or MMS, depending on content. Carrier messaging rates may apply. You can turn this on or off in iPhone at Settings > Messages > Send As SMS. Messages sent using iMessage will appear in a light blue bubble, while messages sent using SMS or MMS will appear in a green bubble.

  • Video Chat works some places but not everywhere

    My video chat works sometimes but it seems when I am at home it will not work with my internet? the people I am chatting with are on the same internet that they were on when it worked. Why is this? what can I change?

    Hi,
    I would change the Bandwidth Setting in iChat Menu > Preferences > Video section > Bandwidth Limit drop down.
    Start at 500kbps
    Open the Connection Doctor (Video menu) during a chat.
    Try other settings but allow the Buffering to smooth out the change as seen in the Bit rate becoming stable in the Connection Doctor.
    Most Issues are about the amount of Internet Speed iChat 5 can see compared to other version which can impact on how much data you can send or receive.
    In some cases this change can be impacted by Threshold controlled features in your modem or router (Turn Off SPI or DoS items).

  • Trying to get video chat working between mac and pc

    im trying to get video chat working between a mac and pc
    pc-running xp with aim 6.0
    will updating to aim 6.1 fix this ?
    we can text chat with no problem
    we can not audio or video chat
    any help would be great
    thanks santini

    Hi Z,
    Lets check the Port Forwarding at your end.
    Does this Zyxel have UPnP at all ?
    If so use that and disable the Port Forwarding.
    If not then these ports need to be forwarded.
    I will list with Protocols as some device need these.
    TCP 5190 for AIM Login and text chats (can be substituted for 443)
    TCP 5220, 5222 and 5223 for Jabber (the last is for OS X servers and GoogleTalk)
    TCP 5298 this is part of the Bonjour set up for iChat if you have other Macs
    UDP 5060 this is for the SIP negotiation that iChat needs
    UDP 5678 this is where the visible invites come and go out on.
    UDP 5190 for AIM file sending and Group chats
    UDP 16384-16403 This group of 20 ports is where any Audio or Video chat takes place.
    As the 443 port is below 1024 (the NAT threshold) you should not have to Forward this.

  • Why does fix capitalization work when there is only one space after the period in pages 09?

    why does fix capitalization work when there is only one space after the period in pages 09?  For example:  "Turn on 3rd St. After the traffic light."  There is only one space after the period in "St."  shouldn't it only auto correct after TWO spaces..??  the word After, should be after..

    You may also use a noBreak space after the period at the end of the abbreviation.
    If I remember well, in such case the capitalization will not apply.

  • Does Siri only work when connected to WiFi

    Does Siri only work when you are connected to a Wifi?  Mine does not seem to work through the 4G cell network.

    It works over WiFi or cellular.
    If you are using 4G cell network, are you using something like a Verizon MiFi 4510L to create a hotspot that your iPhone 4S is using?
    There are other issues with Siri that are going on - perhaps that is what you are seeing?

  • Does Lightroom only work when online?

    Does Lightroom only work when I am online?   Do I have to be online to process or work on files?   If I cannot be online, eg, when in a remote area with no service, how do I process my photo's?

    You can easily test this by cutting off all network access to your computer (turn off wi-fi or disconnect the network cable). You'll find that you can still get stuff done if there is no Internet. Especially if you are using the non-subscription version of Lightroom, which doesn't need to check in at all after it's first licensed.
    If you do use Lightroom through a subscription to Creative Cloud, the annual plan has an offline mode limit of 99 days (over 3 months); the limit is 30 days offline for the monthly plan. And if you stop your subscription, you still have access to your images and some Lightroom features.

  • How does time machine work when being used with a mac pro?

    How does time machine work when backing up a mac pro?
    Considering the fact that the mac pro can hold 8TB and a external (non NAS) hard drive can hold only 2TB does time machine only backup the OS disk.

    Time Machine will backup everything by default, on every disk in your Mac.
    Choose System Preferences > Options to exclude items. You could exclude everything except your OS...but I'd think it is your data that's more important to you, if you have to make choices.
    See...
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1964018
    While it's true you can store almost 8TB, how much do you think you'll actually store? If you have 1TB of data you want to store then a 2TB drive can do it. Also when your TM drive begins to get full it will begin deleting the oldest backups to make room.
    You could also get a Drobo with 8 bays...
