How do I set up a video conference with 2 on same network and 3rd remote

I have a .Mac account with two computers on the same home network. My wife has an iSight camera on her iMac which she video chats (using my .Mac Acct) with our daughter in another city on her MacBook Pro (she too has a .Mac acct).
I would like to join in on the video chat with my camera (different room, but on the same network with my wife).
My internet connection is Comcast (360kb up and 8000 down).
How would I do this.

Hi Scott,
OK first make sure all people have an AIM name or @mac screen name. That is one each and no shares or Alias @mac accounts. http://www.siriusaddict.com//ichat.html
Make sure all have set the System Preferences > Quicktime > Streaming to 1.5mbps.
If the Mac Firewalls are On, make sure the iChat ports are set as per these instructions:

Make sure the modem with the two computers has Port Triggering or UPnP enabled to allow multiple computers to use the ports at the same time. It will not work with Port Forwarding or DMZ as these point to One IP Address.
If the ports at the remote modem are open or they are using UPnP you should now be good to go.

    I want to understand how lyncs works, when I made video conferences with someone in my same building, if my call go to to server and then go to the person I´m calling.
    Or if Lync realizes that we are in the same building so it never leaves, so it don’t generate traffic. My concern is the bandwidth consumption.
    Please a I need the information.

  • How do I set up an Apple TV with a corporate network?

    Hi all,
    I am aware that there are a lot of resources around that explain how to create a Configuration Profile for connecting an Apple TV to a corporate wireless network, and I think I understand them. But the issue I am struggling with is how to get the Apple TV initially configured - it seems to need to be connected to a wireless network in order to perform its initial configuration, but the initial configuration determines how it will connect to the wireless network.
    Am I missing something here?
    Regards
    Julian

    Hi diesel vdub. Unfortunately this does not work here.  The symproms are the AppleTV gets into a state at startup where the 'setting time' never comes back, and prompts me to check network settings. When I check network settings and press 'test network', it tells me that it cannot do this because time has not been set.
    A bit of a Catch-22 I think. This does not happen in my home environment, so seems to point to a corporate network issue, which I expect to resolve through using a Configuration Profile, but I am struggling to get the device ready for this.

  • Struggling to set up. Need help with pairing Apple TV and the remote. Any guidance, other than holding down the Menu and R buttons?

    I am using Ethernet cable to connect Apple TV. I have connected to Cable TV box as directed by cable provider. I have connected the HDMI cable from TV back to the Apple TV box. Power cord is connected. What am I doing wrong? Remote and Apple TV are not connecting....

    Thanks for sending the link.....unfortunately we are a home without wireless...My phone and iPad use 3G and our TV and Mac computers are connected via Ethernet ....
    That said, my new Apple TV is using Ethernet and I cannot use the app without wireless.
    Thanks for your effort to assist!

    Hi,
    Do you mean Window Live Messenger or it's Mac equivalent MSN for Mac ?
    Actually the app comes with Office
    In the Microsoft Office X (2001 version) it was still called MSN  Messenger
    In Office 2008 it was called Microsoft Messenger.
    The current one that can also be  downloaded as a standalone app  also comes with Office 2011 is also called Microsoft Messenger.
    This is version 8 and this version is the only one that can Video Chat as a standalone app.
    Version 7 required you  were in a mixed environment (with PCs) connected to the correct sort of Windows Server.
    This page may help you further.

  • If the DroidX had a front camera how easy would it be to video call with Skype or Fringe?

    Apparently EVO with Sprint you can video conference with Fringe but is this something that has to been done through WIFI?  I was ready to upgrade to the DroidX but I am wondering if I should hold off for the front camera.  I love using Skype video and it would be amazing to have this feature on the phone if it is an easy thing to do.
    It would be greatly appreciated if someone is knowledgable about this information.
    Thank you!

    Since that is a hypothetical situation (Droid X front camera), there is no real way to even guess how the carrier or manufacture would implement this feature because if you look at how other devices use this feature you notice that they are not implementing this feature the same way.  Also in regards to the EVO video calls is across the 4G network but from what I have read they have been experiencing a lot of connection issues do to the network being over whelmed (which isnt a surprise)...

    how do i set up the time capsule with only a wireless net work? it keeps asking me to plug in a cable and i do not have one.

    Are you using a v6 uitlity.. because it is a toy.. ??
    Get v5 utility and then you can hold down the option key and select the right mode.
    If you have lion, just install it.. For ML follow this.
    How to load 5.6 into ML.
    1. Download 5.6 for Lion.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1482
    Click to open the dmg but do not attempt to install the pkg.. it won't work anyway.
    2. Download and install unpkg.
    http://www.timdoug.com/unpkg/
    Run unpkg on the desktop.. it is very simple.. drag the AirPortUtility56.pkg file over to unpkg.. and it will create a new directory of the same name on the desktop.. drill down.. applications utilities .. there lo and behold is Airport utility 5.6 .. drag it to your main utilities directory or just run it from current location.
    You cannot uninstall 6.1 so don't try.. and you cannot or should not run them both at the same time.. so just ignore the toyland version.. the plastic hammer.. and start using 5.6.. a real tool.

  • How do I set up a Apple TC with a Verizon FIOS wireless modem model  Actiontec 424wi F series.  Does the wifi in the modem have to be shut off and will it effect the FIOS tv?

    How do I set up an Apple TC with a Verizon FIOS wireless modem model MI424wr F.  Does the wifi have to be turned off in the modem and then bridge it to the TC?  Will FIOS tv be effected?

    Your first call should be to Verizon support to ask them if you turn off the wireless on the Actiontec router....will it affect any of the features/functions of the FIOS system?
    If yes, then it would be best to leave the Actiontec router "as is" and connect the Time Capsule using Ethernet in Bridge Mode as a back up device only (wireless is turned off on the Time Capsule).
    If you want to use the dual band (and likely much faster) wireless capability of the Time Capsule, then you should turn off the wireless on the Actiontec device to help prevent wireless interference effects that will likely occur when two wireless routers are in close proximity to each other.
    Again, the Time Capsule would be connected to the Actiontec router using an Ethernet connection from one of the LAN <-> ports on the Actiontec router to the WAN port (circle icon) on the Time Capsule. Configure the Time Capsule in Bridge Mode as well in this type of configuration.
    Bottom line....what Verizon says will pretty much dictate how you can set up the TIme Capsule.

  • How do i set up multiple iCloud accounts on the same mac?

    how do i set up multiple iCloud accounts on the same mac?

    Interesting - I was sure I'd seen a note somewhere that it was only Mail, but this article:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4020
    does say
    Your secondary iCloud accounts can be set up and viewed in Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars on your iOS device, or Apple () menu > System Preferences > Mail, Contacts, Calendars on OS X Lion. You may choose to do this if you have a second iCloud account and need to access its Mail, Contacts, or Calendar data. 
    Note: While you can configure multiple iCloud Mail accounts in iOS, Push mail will only work for the primary iCloud account in iOS. Secondary account(s) will check for mail based on the settings in Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Fetch New Data.
    It's not something I can test - I suppose the second account's data gets added to the lists in iCal and Address Book?

    you can't, GB is restricted to a single time signature per project
    however, the time sig is really more cosmetic, it doesn't affect the way the project plays back, so you could set the project to 2/4 when working on the 2/4 parts, and 3/4 when working on the 3/4 parts
