I want to Use iChat with Skype to Videoconference several people

I want to video conference in my niece in New Zealand (PC using Skype) with iChat and the rest of my Mac family stateside.
I have Skype for Mac running and I have the iChat AV running. Any chance to hook in the Skype User with the iChat multi-pane video conference?
It looks like iChat only accepts iChat and AIM but not Skype. My niece apparently cannot get AIM in New Zealand.
Any clever help would be appreciated.

I want to use iChat for Skype as well. I want one chat client for all my communications. That was the point of iChat in the beginning, wasn't it? Hopefully, Apple will jump on the ball and support the best way for us common folk to communicate internationally. The supported Aim when they were king, why not the new king?
I stinks that I can not use the great app, because one no Skype but two I don't know anyone else that uses .mac.

Can I use iChat for Skype, Yahoo messenger or other mail services?

Most of my friends do not have Macs, and therefore I need to use other options such as Skype, although I have found out that Skype does not recognize macs. Are there any other mail services that can be used with iChat?

Not sure what you mean...I use Skype for Mac with no problem for voice calls computer to computer with Macs and PC's, and they've had no problems linking to me. The link to the latest version is:
http://www.skype.com/download/skype/macosx/
There's now even a Skype widget...

Can you use ichat with facetime

I have an iphone4 and would like to be able to call home using facetime to chat with my kids. But we do not have 2 iphones. Any ideas?

Hi,
Face Time uses Phone Numbers or Apple IDs registered with Face Time to make contact
iChat uses AIM Names (Those valid with AIM) or Jabber name (including GoogleMail IDs) to make contact (Basically Names registered with Certain IM servers)
iChat cannot contact the Face Time servers so Face Time names cannot be added to any iChat Buddy List.
NOTES.
A MobileMe name ending in @me.com has several functions:-
Obviously it is a working e-mail.
It is an Apple ID (iTunes, Logging in to Communities (once you set up an Alias), On Line Store, MacApp store and Face Time (if Linked)
It is a valid AIM Screen Name (If the password is 16 characters or less).
@Mac.com names have similar Functions less the e-mail part.
Other Apple IDs created from using an external to Apple e-mail address are not Valid AIM Names. Well at least not by just being Apple IDs (you can link an E-mail to a AIM Name registration or use the e-mail itself as a separate action).

Can I use iChat with Apple TV?

I bought an Apple TV thinking I would be able to video conference with my Grandson. I don't know how to set this up.
Thanks for your help.

I was hoping I would be able to view the "chat" on our TV via Apple TV. So I won't be able to do this?

Can two peeps use iChat with different accounts on the same computer?

What do I do to REMOVE an old AIM account and replace it with a new account in IChat?
Can two peeps use iChat with different accounts in the same computer?
(Actually, two people share a laptop, but one of us cannot use her AIM account cuz mine is in iChat already... And, when traveling, I have the computer - and I would like to use iChat on the computer...)

In iChat 4 you can have more than one AIM Valid name logged in at once.
AIM valid = AIM, @mac.com or a MobileMe name.
What you are then stuck with is that iChat is linked to one Buddy Picture and The one Mac User Account's Address Book which may or may not have Full Names, emails details, or a Nickname in iChat 4 linked to the Screen Names.
Whilst it does let you both log in whilst using one Mac User Account there are drawbacks about who uses the keyboard and reading meesages from the other persons Buddies.

Can I use iChat to chat with people on other platforms, e.g. yahoo etc?

Dear all
Can I use iChat to chat to people on other platforms e.g. yahoo, aol, gmail, jabber etc? For example, I have just managed to sign into iChat with Gmail (had to resort to this because iChat won't let me log-on with my Mobile Me name), but now it seems iChat will only let me add other Gmail users? Surely there is a way to log in with Gmail but chat with people on other platforms?
Any help would be most appreciated.

Hi,
Since iChat 4 you have been able to log in to as many AIM or Jabber IDs as you have set up.
In Lion (iChat 6) they become a combined Buddy list.

How can I use iChat for Hotmail?

I would like to use iChat with hotmail... is it possible? ANy other method thatn Jabber?

Hi,
The only method at the moment to Contact MSN Buddies is using the Jabber Method and a Jabber Transport.
MSN for Mac version 8 can be downloaded as a free Standalone from Mactopia (the Microsoft Mac Pages) and can do Video chats.

HT2020 How can I use ichat or face time for video conference to window computer?

How can I use Ichat or factime to video conference remote famiy members who have windows computers?

HI,
You can use iChat to Video to PCs that are using the AIM for PC app or have the Trillian App with the Pro Add-on (which costs).
As you list OS 10.7.4 you may find you can find a copy of the Messages Beta (technically it was withdrawn before the release date for Mountain Lion that has the Full version)

Can I assign subscriptions with Skype Manager?

My company wants to implement Skype for cost reducing, but there is an important issue I couldn't find the answer for: can I assign subscriptions with Skype Manager? For example, I buy a 400-minutes subscription and assign this subscription for an user?
If that is the case, can I take the subscription back from the user and give to someone else, or must I cancel it and buy a new one? And also, if an user is going to make 800 minutes in phone calls, in a land where there isn't a unlimited package, can I buy and assign him two 400 minutes subscriptions, or in fact as many subscriptions as I would like?
The best solution for me would be to have subscriptions that I can assign to users when they need it, and if in a month they are going to use less minutes, I can take that subscription and give it to another user.
Alternatively, I could have an account that many users would use, but at the same time and they would make calls at the same moment, and I don't know if Skype allows us to do this, both in computational terms as also in legal terms.
Does anyone knows the answers to my questions or could give me a suggestion?
Thank you for you time

Assigning subscriptions with S.M. is very easy but unfortunately some countries are missing on the list. For example I need to assign a subscription for one of my users registered in SM, which allow make calls to cell phones to Ukraine at lower rates. It's not possible because there is no Ukraine on the drop down list. Could someone explain me why?

HT204380 i have a i phone and my partner have a samsung .. can i use facetime with her if she not using iphone

I have a i phone and my partner have a samsung .. can i use facetime with her if she not using iphone

No. Facetime is exclusive to iOS devices and Macs. There is no android version. You would have to use a 3rd party app/service like Skype.

WEBCAM for Toshiba 32TL515U 32" 3D LED TV to use it with Skype.

Hello, I have a Toshiba 32TL515U 32" 3D LED TV and want to use it with Skype. I have been looking for the right camera for 2 months by now... Can please someone tell me what camere I have to get and where I have to buy it?!?! I don't mind about the price at this point anymore... I was so disappointed that even though I tired many cameras none of them worked!!!!

I don't see any indication in the user's guide that that's possible. You may want to contact customer support at (800) 631-3811.

I ordered my Macbook Air with Aperture two years ago. I now have an iMac - can I use that with Aperture in any way?

I ordered my Macbook Air with Aperture two years ago. I now have an iMac - can I use that with Aperture in any way? I appreciate that it is a different computer but I am now the end user of both devices and I was just wondering if it was possible.
Thanks,
Sean

The answer would be in your software license agreement for Aperture. However if you cannot locate it you can ask in the Aperture forum, the link for that is:
https://discussions.apple.com/community/professional_applications/aperture
However I believe you can have Aperture installed on two machines however only one may be using it at a time.
On the new iMac launch the Mac App Store - Purchased - look for Aperture and download to your new machine.
