Finaly: AIM (win) video-compatible to ichat

Great news ....
Finaly AIM with it´s latest windows client (6.1.31.1) is videochat-compatible to our ichat since osx is updated to 10.4.9. I tested it with several buddies, all using latest aim windows client. I also made some tests inside my network (from iMac to pc and visa versa) ... what can I say: no problems at all anymore, no more aim 5.9 and stamp-like videos on windows-side.
Greetings

Hi Martin,
AIM 5.9 does seem to be more reliable for thaose people it works for in that it does allow calls both ways.
I am not sure that iChat is the one that has been one step behind. I would point to the fact the AIM still have a download page for it.
AIM and Apple did a deal to allow iChat to use the AIM service.
In the meatime AIM have brought out the Beta Trillian and then AIM 6.0.
As iChat is an AIM client it seems they have relied on AIM 5.9 being out there to say that agreement with Clients were being honoured.
James is also right that other solutions that are out there while not ebing as smooth or as pretty as iChat/AIM connection do actually work and are easier to set uo that the AIM - iChat link.
My experience with AIM 6.1.32.1 running on XP on my MacBook Pro is that it will only really connect to 10.4.9 on my G4/1Ghz Dual.
It will not even get a response on 10.3.9 (panther) and 10.4.8 is extremely hit and miss as to whether an invite will even appear and always times out after that.
I stayed around the iChat boards as I wanted to understand all the wquirks about how this works.
James porports another view that time is money and solutions need to take that in to consideration. It is something I don't always take account of myself when making an answer as I tend to answer with the belief that someone wants to make it work the way it says it does on the tin.
If your car is not working and you don't have time to fix it before work the Bus maybe a reasonable option.
Look how long it has taken Apple to get USB cams into iChat despite having Built-in USB cams in the Intels.
In this case Thinking Differently is not always an Apple Answer.
What that does say is that more work needs to be done.

IChat /Aim/.mac video

Aloha!
I just got my new iMac and am having trouble connecting with the video portion of iChat. I tried through AIM, then changed to .mac to try that...... I have read many posts and tried various suggestions. My son has been helping me walk through these different things, but to no avail. I have changed the Quicktime settiing, I have tried changing the port to 5191 and 443. My son thinks it may be my ISP provider, but they say they have no ports closed. I would appreciate any help. We finally got the error message to change and this is the log from that:

Video Conference User Report:

Hi Suefis,
Welcome to the  Discussions
The log itself does not suggest the ports are blocked by the ISP.
iChat works like this.
Logging on with the default 5190 port is on the TCP protocol
Some info for the Buddy List and file sending and some specific Text chats happen on the 5190 port on the UDP protocol.
When you send an A/V invite this goes out on port 5678 on the UDP Protocol.
If your Buddy sees this and accepts iChat moves to port 5060 on the UDP protocol.
At this point it contacts a server called SNATMAP run by Apple.
iChat tells this server which ports to use for vid in, vid out, Audio in and Audio out.
This server acts like and old fashioned telephone exchange where you dailed the operator and asked them to put the call though.
So this server then finds your Buddy and tells the iChat at that end which ports to use.
Then the connection is made and the server drops out and the 1-1 Vidio or Audio chat is Peer to Peer.
Your log contains the iChat ports.
This is where Error 8 gets difficult to pin down.
An Error 8 refers to all sorts of problems with ports and NAT.
So from the beginning.
The System Preferences > Quicktime > Streaming tab needs the setting changed to 1.5Mbps T1/Intranet/LAN and iChat restarted to see this speed change.
The iChat > Preferences > Video section > Bandwidth Limit needs to be set to NONE.
If the Mac Firewall is ON then the ports need to be set there.
System Preferences > Sharing > Firewall tab
See here http://www.ralphjohnsuk.dsl.pipex.com/page4.html#_mactodo
If you have a routing modem or a router then the ports are most likely going to be needed to be opened or allowed there.
This is where NAT (Network Address Translation) can play a part.
Not all manufacturers do NAT the same way and you sometimes seem to get devices at either end that don't like each other.
If you have UPnP In at least one device at your end it can help get around this.
To say more we would need to know make and models or routers and modems you are using and what you have done to set them up as well as the info in the points above.

Do i need to make specific configuration to use video call at ichat?

i am new user of ichat?
i can not make video call at ichat?
My famile they use normal PC.
how can i make it to work with AIM yahoo messenger?
thank you...

Hi,
In the past iChat has worked with AIM Names to AIM names on a PC using the AIM for PC app.
However this has not always been easy and AIM have just changed their App and now use Flash to get Video into the App (Making it incompatible with iChat).
Although iChat can use Jabber IDs (Includes GoogleTalk and Facebook IDs) and in iChat 6 Yahoo names these only work iChat to iChat.
About 3 or 4 years ago it did seem that the major players were all moving towards a standard way of doing things. (it did look a long way off though) However more recently they have moved away from each other again.
You may find Skype is a better option across Platforms (Mac to PC) or using sites like MeBeam
These needs Flash to be enabled in your Browser
Type a room name in the text box on the site.
It will take you to that "room"
Copy URL of room and send it to Buddy and they will join you in that room.

How to Make a Video Call Using iChat to Someone Using MS Live Call

What do I need to do to make/receive video calls using iChat to someone who uses Microsoft Live Call (using Windows Live Messenger to register me as a contact)?
When I initially set up iChat, I selected AIM (AOL Instant Messenging) as my default messenger program. But I can't remember where I set that up. Where in iChat can I make that change from AIM to Windows Live Messenger?

If its anything like MSN you cant video chat with ichat.
The only way on MSN is.
aMSN http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/14200/amsn

Wireless camera compatible with iChat

Does anyone know of a wireless webcam that works with iChat?
I found a bluetooth one but that has limited range of 10 to 30 feet. It would be nice to have longer range. Would that need to be a wifi webcam? All the ones I find seem to only be used in the context of a web browser rather than an application like iChat.
thanks

Hi,
This is the site we normally point people towards
http://www.mac-compatible-web-cam.com/ (don't allow the redirect)
It tends to list a history of older Cameras down the left with Amazon links to second hand ones.
I did not see any WiFi ones listed there though and only one Bluetooth one.
As the default for a Camera nowadays is essentially a UVC (USB Video Class) compatible camera and these work in Vista upwards and 10.4.9 upwards for Macs the redirect site is here http://www.uvccompatiblewebcams.com/
I did a Google Search for Wifi WebCams
This one for instance would work over your WiFi Network.
The Tech Specs say Windows only though and the output is not a format iChat can "see".
iChat can interpret DV signals from Firewire device (Camera or DV converter).
It can since 10.4.9 "see"/use UVC cameras.
Pre Snow Leopard older (USB 1.1) Cameras that had Specific Mac Drivers (Or worked with third party Drivers) could be got into iChat with iUSBCam (No longer supported in Snow Leopard).
A web browser is going to use Quicktime to access any Video it "sees".
Although iChat does use Quicktime it is limited to the formats I have mentioned above.
This Article from 2004 uses a second Mac with a Firewire external iSight back to a central point and then Evocam and Security Spy to upload pics to a server/Web site.
This one "sort of" imported Video on one iChat computer and streamed that to another when cetain conditions were met (used Status Messages like iTune Remote does).
CamcamX may provide you with a means of getting other Video into iChat.
A Bluetooth Hub may be another options.
Basically I think you will find it difficult to find a Wifi Camera that can get Video into iChat.
The same may be true of Blue Tooth ones as well. Although this one does advertise it will work with iChat.
There are ways of "Converting" video using third party apps that may get the Incoming Video into iChat.

Final Cut Timeline Feed as video source for iChat?

I was at the Apple NAB presentation in Vegas a few weeks ago, and one of the things they showcased in regard to iChat AV was the ability for an editor to videoconference with several other people at once and one of the video feeds in the chat window was actually the output from the editor's Final Cut Pro timeline. As he made changes in the FCP timeline, he could play it out in real time and all the people in the chat could see the video feed and make comments on the edit.
OK- so we were excited because that's a workflow issue we have here. So, we bought some iSight cameras and Tiger and started to do some testing here. The only problem is that it doesn't seem very easy to set up. At first I just thought, "well, they are just playing the timeline out of the firewire port on the FCP machine and another computer is ingesting that firewire stream as a video source for iChat." except when you connect 2 Macs together with a firewire cable, the FCP system doesn't detect a DV video device to output to and the iChat system doesn't detect the incoming firewire stream as a "camera". I spoke to tech support and they said it's not something they support so no luck there.
I did find an article on Creative Cow about someone doing something similar, but it involved exporting the FCP timeline out through a Kona analog video card into an external tape deck that does analog to DV conversion which then can be imported back into iChat as a DV stream, but last time I checked, a Kona card would run me around 1500 bucks.
Anyone have any other ideas?

HI Jeremy,
Welcome to the Aple Discussion Pages.
Based on the Auto Responding iChat Accounts that play films I would guess they were either using an AppleScript to import FCP as the Video sourdce or usiing an Add-On like iChatUSBCam that also alows you to change the video source to the desktop.
iChatUSBcam has a new beta for Tiger http://www.ecamm.com/mac/ichatusbcam/

How to produce a HD video compatible with a Samsung Smart TV

Using Compressor I need to produce a HD video compatible with an Smart Samsung TV.
I have tried many formats, but no one is readable. Could you help ?
Celes

I did it with FCPX as mp4 without compressor. I put it on a USB key and it was possible to see it on my Samsung connecting the key to a USB port of the TV.
I have not the video with me now and cannot give you more info about the exact codec. For sure it was taken with an Olympus camera at 1080p and edited with european standards. The Samsung was bought in Germany.
Nothing to do with your question but only as a tip: Samsung TV has a proprietary Formatting for external HD to be used for recording. They have to be formatted by the TV and any video you record on this HD from the TV can be seen only with the same TV set. I found no way to edit or copy the recordings even to make a private backup.
For this reason I prefer to use an external receiver (Clarketech) to be free to edit the recordings.

Is ADOBE CREATIVE SUITE 4 DESIGN PREMIUM WIN UE compatible with Windows 8 and 8.1?

Is ADOBE® CREATIVE SUITE® 4 DESIGN PREMIUM WIN UE compatible with Windows 8 and 8.1?

Yes/No/perhaps/maybe? You won't know until you try. Windows programs are generally backward compatible, but of course there most definitely will be specific problems like needing to manually adjust user permissions or getting things like printing functions to work.

Hello,
I suggest you go back and see your wireless service provider...with a new device, you should not be having such problems and they need to resolve it.
Good luck!

Can't video chat with iChat 6.0.1 with Verizon Fios modem,MI424WR.

Can't video chat with iChat 6.0.1 with Verizon Fios modem, MI424WR. Get error "Router type is Restricted, Port Restricted, Symmetric, or Unknown." How do I configure the router? I have allowed iChat incoming connections in my Mac (10.7.2) firewall. GChat and Skype work fine.
Thanks

Hi.
You have to configure Port Forwarding on the Verizon FIOS Modem Router for iChat.
http://support.actiontec.com/doc_files/MI424WR_Rev._G_User_Manual_30.16.0_v1.pdf
Excerpt from pages 109 & 110:
"To set up basic port forwarding:
1. Click the arrow next to “IP Address forward to or select from menu” to display a menu and either enter the IP address of the item to port forward from, or choose an item from the drop-down menu (choose your machine by host name, since the internal ip address changes from time to time, after the lease time expires).
2. Click the arrow next to “Application to forward...” and select a pre-configured application from the drop-down menu (if iChat is not present in the list, you'll have to set up Advanced Port Forwarding).
3. Click Apply. The new port forwarding rule appears in the “Applied rules” table at the bottom of the screen. "
" To set up advanced port forwarding (custom ports):
1. Click the arrow next to “Application to forward...” and select Custom Ports from the drop-down menu.
Con
2. Enter the host name (from the drop-down list) or local IP address of the computer providing the service in the “Specify IP” text box. Note that only one local network computer can be assigned to provide a specific service or application.
3. Click Advanced.

Video/Audio on iChat not always working

I am trying to iChat with my friend (video/audio), but the green calling button won't show up next to her name and mine either. Even when I right click on her name it won't let me video. We have videod before so it's not like it has never worked. We even did it earlier today. I don't know what's wrong!

Hi,
Odd that it should change during a Session.
Have you truned Off the camera ?
This is a setting in the Video Menu of iChat. In iChat versions 3, 4 and 5 it reads "Camera Enable" in Version 6 is reads "Video Chat Enabled"
In either case it should be ticked. Selecting it toggles the tick and the Function On or Off.
Next check the View menu.
This should have Show Video Status ticked.
IF it appears that these are both ticked then return to the Video Menu and aopen the Connection Doctor > Capabilities and tell us what it says (Are they all green ?)

Are ipod video compatible with the original ihome? help

are ipod video compatible with the original ihome? help

If you are talking about this...
http://www.ihomeaudio.com/products.asp?productid=10015&deptid=1003
Or the black model.
Then yes.
I am using my 5G iPod with video with that model.
To prevent damage to the dock connector on your iPod, you may want to get this...
http://www.ihomeaudio.com/products.asp?productid=10016&deptid=1000
Keep in mind that I am using it with the newer models of that model. (Mine had an iPod nano compatible sticker on it and came with a remote). I would imagine that it works fine with the older model of that one as well.
But yes, if you are talking about the iH5, it works :)

AIM Triton - Not compatable with iChat for Audio/Video

**From MacDailyNews** http://www.macdailynews.com
AOL's new AOL Instant Messenger 'Triton' (free for Windows 2000 and XP at http://www.aim.com/ ) update is now available. "Triton is more marketing-driven than ever, but this version's audio-chat feature shuts out one popular AIM-compatible program, Apple's iChat AV, and it doesn't allow video-conferencing with any other AIM software," Rob Pegoraro writes for The Washington Post. "More ads, less compatible: Does that sound appealing?"
"Text chats between Triton, earlier AIM releases and two third-party programs -- iChat AV, released with AOL's support, and the independently developed, open-source Gaim -- went fine. But Triton makes enough changes to voice chatting to prevent any audio exchanges with iChat AV, and its new video software doesn't work with any other AIM-compatible software," Pegoraro reports. "Fortunately, you don't have to run AIM to use the AIM network. For basic text chats and file transfers, non-AOL programs such as Gaim, Trillian and iChat provide the same utility without any of the ads."

HI Rj,
As Triton got to it's current version as a Beta and then without any apparent changes become the item on the AIM latest page link http://www.aim.com/getaim/win/latestwin.adp I would presume it is not a fully functional item yet.
Particularly as AIM 5.9 is still available here http://www.aim.com/getaim/win/otherwin.adp?aolp=
As it is market driven hopefully it will catch up with AIM 5.9 on the connectivity front and lose or at least gain the ability to block unwanted ads.
I think we have a while to go with this one before suggesting people swap to Triton.

Can't Video Chat with iChat and AIM for PC

I recently bought a MacBook Pro and I'm using iChat (obviously). I've tried many times to have a One-Way Video chat with my friend who is using Windows XP and the newest version of AIM for Windows. When we connect to the video chat I can see myself but on his end he only sees a black screen, he is unable to see me. Help??

Hi,
You could try Limiting the Bandwidth (ichat Menu > Preferences > Video Section > Bandwidth Limit) to 500kbps. (Possibly try 200kbps as well)
If the latest version of AIM on PC includes the "Real Time" Option, it should turned Off. (It is a feature to send Text as you type but effects the Video end as well).
Also read through this Users Tip http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1968438
There is no guarantee of success I am afraid, despite both apps supposedly being compatible.

It could be the ports in their modem are not open for the AIM application.
