FaceTime and iChat?..how to start chat from my iPad to a Mac on iChat?

how to start chat from my iPad to a Mac on iChat?

Yes, that is exactly what I mean.
The iPad can only do FaceTime and FaceTime is NOT linked (compatible) with iChat.
If your parents have an older Mac, or are only on Leopard, Tiger or such, you could use Skype.
It's free. The video quality isn't quite as good, but it does work. Your parents would need the Skype program installed on their Mac. You can download the free Skype for iPad.

    How can I print from my iPad through my Mac Book Pro which is connected to a printer?  I was told I could do this when the iPad and Mac Book Pro are synched together.

    No.
    Printopia (running on your Mac) connects the iPad to your printer.

    I am a relatively new mac user. I need to import my contacts from my iPad to my macbook pro. I updated the OS to Mavericks. After that I couldnt add epub files to the library and cannot import my contacts. Is there a way to do it other than icloud? Thanks in advance.

  • How to export photos from an ipad to a mac computer

    I have an iPad Retina on which I took approximately 350 screen grabs for my work.
    (The screen grabs were made on the iPad with the home and lock buttons pressed together, I use them for app reports).
    These screen grabs didn't go into the Photos folder called "Albums" when I saved them, but instead they were saved into a folder called "Photos" (in which are three sorting options, called "Years", "Collections" and "Moments").
    I now need to put all these photos into a folder on my iMac and then delete them to clear up a working session.
    But if I click more than 5 of them, the "mail" option disappears, and the remaining options are "Message", "Flickr", "Copy" or "Print".
    "Message" didn't work, it seems to be designed to send text messages, but I could still manage to write an email address in the "to" field, and it didn't get through.
    "Flickr" didn't work at all (the "+" sign to add a new account let me to a white pop-up window, I added an account from the Settings page, sent the photos to Flickr but they never arrived on the Flickr account).
    "Copy" didn't work, I thought I could afterwards paste them into an email, but no luck there, it just crashed the mail app.
    ...and "Print", that seems to be far away from what I'm trying to do.
    Airdrop cannot work between the iMac (pre OS X10.10) and the iPad. Flickr doesn't work either, at all.
    When I use third-party apps like Dropbox, Instamail or any other WiFi photos sharing/exporting app, the only photos these apps can access are the ones in the photos folder called "Albums", and not a single one of the photos from the "Photos" album.
    Also, as sad as it may seem, and as I've said earlier, the third-party applications I installed such as Dropbox are not an option when I select the photos in the roll and then click on "Share", but "Flickr" is...? Both "share" buttons, the one on top and the one to the right of each date give the same very limited results.
    iTunes cannot do it. This iMac doesn't have iPhoto.
    I was thinking about using a software like iExplorer to manually go dig into the root folders, but surely there has to be another way?

    You should be able to do it with Dropbox.

    Each device needs a separate address. Use an email address (gmail.com) on the iPad.

    I am trying to copy photos from an iPad to a Mac Air, but iPhoto does not recognize them. Please forgive the ignorance, but we have just started moving to apple products and I know nothing about them. Do you have to use PhotoStream to do this?

    How did the photos that you want to copy off get on the iPad  ? To copy photos to your computer that were taken with the iPad, copied to it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites then see this page - on a Mac you should be able to use iPhoto, Aperture or Image Capture
    To copy photos that were originally synced from a computer you will need a third-party app on your iPad such as Simple Transfer which can copy them off via your wifi network. But as photos are 'optimised' when they are synced to the iPad, any that you then copy back to a computer may not be exactly the same as they originally were on your computer.

  • How can start service from the spfile, on  Windows 2003,

    On Windows 2003, how can start service from the spfile?
    connect to the database as sysdba and startup will start from the spfile.
    Once I use wondows Service for shutting down and startup datbase it start from the pfile.
    Which defeat my ability to change parameters at the system level.

    Hi,
    I'm not sure, but maybe your windows Instance service was created with
    C:\> oradim -new -sid <SID> -startmode m -pfile C:\oracle\product\10.1.0\admin\pfile\init.ora
    then, you need edit this service with command like below:
    C:\> oradim -EDIT -SID <SID> -spfile C:\oracle\product\10.1.0\admin\spfile<SID>.ora
    Take a look on this link before make any changes:

    FaceTime is included in Lion. The App Store version is for 10.6. If you deleted it, restore it from a backup, or reinstall the Mac OS.

  • When I play my Ipod shuffle 3rd gen there's a moment when I start hearing interference until it stops playing, when I turn it off and on again it starts playing from the first song all over again, and once it sounded like the music was slowing down.

    My Ipod shuffle 3rd gen starts playing songs with some kind of interference until it stops playing, when I turn it off and on again it starts playing from the first song all over again, and once it sounded like the music was slowing down.  First I thought it was the earphones, but I exchanged them for newer ones and so far its the same

    You may want to do a Restore on the shuffle in iTunes.  The Restore button is on the shuffle's Summary screen in iTunes.  This will erase the shuffle, re-install its software, and set it to default settings.  If it's a software or data corruption glitch, the Restore should fix it.  After the Restore, reload or resync your songs, and try it again.  As a test, you may want to initially select a small number of songs to put back on the shuffle.

    I have a laptop Mac and an Ipad, and would like to transfer pictures, videos, etc from the ipad to the Mac but not from the Mac to the Ipad, how can I set up the iCloud in both devises to do so?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Your best method would be to connect via USB and transfer that way, since videos are not transferred using photostream.
    However you can stop photos on your mac being added to photostream in the iPhoto preferences > photostream by unchecking the automatic upload box.

  • How can I print from my ipad? Printer is wireless and comes up with no airprinter found

    How can I print from my ipad using a wireless printer? Printer is listed but comes up no airprinter found

    iOS devices can only print directly to AirPrint printers. All AirPrint printers are wireless but not all wireless printers are capable of using AirPrint.
    To print directly from an iPad / iPhone you will need an AirPrint compatible printer or another device to act as a print server. That can be a Mac computer running Printopia ($19.95 with free trial) or handyPrint (donation - supported). The Mac must be "on" but may be asleep for them to work. Equivalent PC options may exist but you're on your own finding them.
    You can also buy this standalone print server:
    http://www.lantronix.com/it-management/xprintserver/xprintserver.html
    These options enable you to use any printer available to your network, even older ones that may predate AirPrint by decades.
    Otherwise you will need to buy an AirPrint printer or multifunction device.
