How do I get a group chat started on iChat?

I am trying to get a group chat started for myself and some friends on iChat, however I have no idea how to do it. I've looked online, but nothing I seem to try works. I do know that all of us are using iChat on different personal accounts, where that is google, work email, yahoo, etc. Will this affect our group chat and can you help me fix it?
Thanks for helping!

Hi,
Text Chat Group chats.
All parties need to be on the same service.
Basically this either means an AIM Valid name (AIM, @mac.com or @me.com ending names from Apple)
Or a Jabber valid ID (GoogleMail ID, Facebook ID or another Jabber ID)
Lets say you all have "AIM" names.
Highlight one Buddy
Hold down the CMD key and select further Buddies
Now double click one of the Buddies and  Chat window should open with a pull out Drawer with the Participants showing.
(there is an option in the View Menu to Show Participants in iChat)
Alternatively you can go to the File Menu > Go to Chatroom and enter a name for the Chat room yourself.
Buddies can now be dragged to the Chat window (Participants drawer and pop up for an Invite message appears.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Open System Preferences > Users & Groups > Login Options, press the padlock at the bottom left corner of the System Preferences window and choose the second user account next to "Automatic login". Your computer will always log in to this user account whenever you start up Mac OS X.

  • If you deleted a  device off of find my iphone.how do you get the device to start back up agian and put it back on find my iphone?

    if you deleted a  device off of find my iphone.how do you get the device to start back up agian and put it back on find my iphone? becuase i have delted my dads iphone acedentily of find my iphone and it is nownot working. his phone is just staying at a black screen with a loading circle on it. i need to know how to fix this..like do i go the to apple store or the carrier store or can i fix it at home?

    Try these two ways to fix the iPhone (in order).  If neither works, you would have to take it to the store.
    1.  Reset the iPhone.  Hold the on/off and home buttons togehter for about 10 seconds.  If it works, you'll get the Apple logo and then something good should happen.
    2.  Try recovery mode as described here:

    If one of these work, you can then re-introduce the iPhone to Find My iPhone by doing Settings > iCloud > Find My iPhone = "On" on the device.

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Unsync all music and resync
    - Reset all settings      
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up                             
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

    In the text you say you are using Snow Leopard. Snow Leopard will not operate on a G4 (or any Mac with a PowerPC processor). Leopard OS 10.5 is the max OS for PowerPC processor Macs. Your profile shows OS 10.5.6. What OS are you using (or trying to use)?
    Will the PB boot using a systen install DVD?

  • How do i get my computer to start itunes when i plug my ipod in please

    Dear All,
    How do I get my computer to start up itunes when I plug my ipod in.

    - With the iPod connected to the computer go to the Summary pane in iTunes for the iPod and under Options check the box that says open iTunes when the iPod is connected.
    - If when you manually open iTines and connect the iPod the iPod does not show in iTunes:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    or
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X

  • How do I get rid of the start-up window?

    I've just installed QuickTime, but when it started I was presented with a window full of advertising. I cannot find anything on the menu allowing me to disable that gross display. How can I get rid of this start-up headache? Thank you for any helpful advice you can render.

    That does not work, actually. I've ben using QT PRo for ages, and ever since version 0, it NEVER saved or remembered my preferences. Once I set my preferences up, it does remember it for the current windows session. But once I restart my machine everything is back to square one. It's been like that for years, actually. This is very annoying sometimes. Makes you wonder if apple "engineers" know how to write code?
    Windows XP Pro SP3 (long time ago SP1, SP2 currently SP3)
    But years ago I used WinXP Home as well
    QT Pro preferences were never saved or remembered.

  • How do I get to a chat session?

    If I have an iphone and an ipod, and a computer, what advantage do I gain by also having an ipad?

    "How do I get to a chat sessions?" - not really sure what you mean by that. Can you provide more detail?
    As for the advantages of owning an iPad? That entirely up to you and what your needs are. My guess is that if you have to ask the question, you probably don't need one.

  • How do i mute a group chat

    there is a very annoying group chat that I am in, and don't want to hurt the people's feelings by telling them I want out. Someone once told me that I could ""mute"" the group chat, but never told me how because I didn't need it. So how do you mute a group chat?

    You can:
    - block individual senders (iOS 7 only),
    - turn off Messages altogether
    - Uncheck the email address that the group is using to send them to you (Settings>Messages>Send and Receive)

    Try to use the SearchReset extension to reset some preferences to the default values.

    Note that the SearchReset extension only runs once and then uninstalls automatically, so it won't show on the "Firefox > Add-ons" page (about:addons).

    how do i get my camera to start working again? i've restored it before and its still not working. HELP!!!!!

    If you have accomplished all of the user troubleshooting, which consists of power off/on, reset, restore from backup, restore as new and the camera still does not work, that is indicitive of a hardware problem and would require you to make a Genius Bar appointment for them to look at the device.

    qHow do u get help from apple support with iChat? I was able to chat with support last week to solve my problem but now the same issue is back and I don't see the option to chat now?

    For what it is worth I have noticed a similar issue from the iPad3 while at work and home. At work we have two Apple TV 3rd Generation installed and tied to our A/V system. I believe the issue has to do with a timeout on the broadcast saying "here I am" and allowing devices to connect.
    For example:
    At work we have several Wi-Fi SSID being broadcast from Cisco APs. The only one we can use with the Apple TV is the one that uses a WEP since the others are either setup to be hidden, require web page authentication, or have a login requirement from employees. Essentially, what I believe the issue is that the Apple TV periodically broadcasts a message to other iOS devices that support Mirroring. When the Apple TV does not get a response from a device it goes into a dormant mode and requires either a command from the remote control or a reboot. This has been tested with both the power management enabled and not enabled with the same results.
    As for when I come home, the Apple TV3 has not seen the device in some time and therefore is not broadcasting it's location information. A simple click of the circle or menu keys on the remote will give it the command to start broadcasting again and allow the iPad3 to see the Apple TV. When trying to Home Share the computer can not play (iTunes 11, Win8RTM) until the Apple TV is awoken then it will show up for mirroing.
    This may or may not assist you but, it hopefully explains how the issue may be happening.

  • How do I get a program to start up when I turn my computer on?

    You know how in the dock, there's a little triangle under a program that's technically running even if you don't have a window open? Dashboard and Finder always have that triangle after start up. How do I get another program, like Safari to "start up" with that triangel all the time even if I don't want to have the browser window open when I turn my computer on?

    Open the Accounts pane of System Preferences, add it to the list of login items for your account, and check the box to hide it. Some applications, such as Mail, ignore the box in Mac OS X 10.4 and are always visible when launched; in this case, an AppleScript can be used to hide them.
