I can't install iCHAT

I'm trying to set up ichat but the computer freezes in the final window. The curser converts to the color wheel and nothing happens. When I start over I get the same results.

Thanks for the response and your help.
Yes, it was an archive and install. I actually thought that it was a shortcut problem at first but Ichat does the same thing when I start it from the Apps folder.
Here is the info you asked for:

Why I can't install iChat?

can some body tell me; why I can't install iChat on OS X Mountain lion MacBook Air?

Hi,
Each version of iChat only works with the OS it came with.
Broadly speaking that means iChat 4 work only in Leopard (OS X 10.5.x) - iChat 3 only works in Tiger (OS X 10.4.x) and so on.
It is actually more important that a subset increase in the OS also has the "right" iChat version.
iChat Updates come in the OS updates.
There is not always an iChat update but it does mean that when it is that version will not work with lower OS versions.
As an example iChat 4.0.8 only works in OS X 10.5.8
Mountain Lion has Messages.
This is iChat+
The iOS version of Messages can send iMessages to iPhone Numbers and Apple IDs or registered devices.
iMessages is Apple's proprietary Messaging service and has been added to what was iChat to create the Messages app for Macs.
The Messages app does everything iChat did (Video Chats, Audio Only Chats, Screen Sharing, iChat Theater, Text chats, File Transfers with some IDs)
It can also register an Apple ID for iMessages.
If the same Apple ID is used on an iPhone and iPad then the iMessages will be displayed on all devices.

HELP PLEASE!!! HOW CAN I INSTALL iChat AV??? This is taking forever!!

My problem is a lot more complex than it sounds and I would appreciate any help I could receive. I am using a 1.8GHz PowerPC G5 running Mac os X 10.4.10.
I used to have iChat on my computer, but it does not work anymore. So, I have tried looking for a way to download it online, but could not find anywhere. So, I used the software installation disks on my computer to try and install ichat. It says it has installed, and when I open it up it prompts me with questions to set it up. Here is my problem though: I can't get through the start up process and actually use ichat, as whenever I click anything the start up application freezes (little purple circle that svivels comes up). So, I can't get ichat to work. any suggestions? ~Thank you

Some applications require that you have the BSD Subsystem software installed on your computer. The BSD Subsystem is installed by the Mac OS X Installer, but you can choose to not install it. If you did not install this software, you need to reinstall Mac OS X and make sure the BSD Subsystem is selected in the Custom Install pane of the Installer. Reinstalling Mac OS X does not affect your settings unless you choose to erase and install.

Can't Launch iChat - Error Message

iChat launches and asks for “AOL instant messaging password” then it crashes before anything can be done or altered.
Error Message: "Application iChat quit unexpectedly.“
In other words, I can’t get into iChat to change preferences before it crashes. We felt the problem was a conflict with AOL. My fiance’ signed up for AOL when she first received her MacBook. We tried deleting any file relative to AOL. Still, no iChat.
Is there a way to delete iChat and re-install iChat through the Apple web site?

See your double post.

Install ichat after the fact...

I'm a tech for a school. I'm trying to talk our admin into use ichat for collaboration between classes. the disk image for our computers was scripted to delete ichat, therefore, it's not there.
any suggestions on a stand along install for ichat/isight only?
thanks
PS... drag and drop didn't work (tried to drag the app, the prefs(plist) and .pkg file... still no go.

any suggestions on a stand along install for ichat/isight only?
The easiest way is explained in Ryan Mathus' I've deleted iChatAV 2.x - Can I get it back? FAQ.
This is just one of the FAQs included in the iChat AV Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) folder at the top of iChat AV Discussions.
You can also check the iSight Tips and FAQ. There, among other things, you will find Some Applications you can use with iSight if you are interested in adding other software for your iSight.

How many computers can I install my Creative Cloud apps on?

You can install the apps available in Creative Cloud on your primary computer and one backup computer, as long as they are not running at the same time. You will have access to both the Mac OS and Windows versions, so if you have a Mac at home and a PC at work, for example, you can install your applications on both. See the product license agreements page for more information.

Jeff,
Here is a concern I have. I called sales support yesterday and asked the following questions.   I have 3 computers (1) PC tower, (1) iMac and (1) MacBook Pro.   When I first started using Adobe all the way through CS5 Master Collection I always owned the Windows Box Versions. I have been waiting for months for this to come out so I could move my workflow over to MacOS X.    Since the Creative Cloud supports both MAC and Windows installs the question I asked was can I install it on both my 2 Mac Computers. Then if I need to use it on my PC can I simply deactivate and then activate on it for use?
The answer your support person gave was "YES" So the answer in this topic don't even flow with the answers from calling the 800 number!
So now reading this forum topic I am really confused.   I like many others have definate reasons why I may want to flip flop the machine I am using the software on (1) I have $4500 worth of AE plug-ins. $2000 worth of these are platform specific. So they only run on a windows machine. Even, though I intend on my primary workflow to be used on a MAC there may come a time when I need to use one of these plug-ins and then would have to switch my activation to the PC to use it.
Another scenario, Let's face it Apple has not been to keen on upgrading the Mac Pro system's. iMac's are great but have their limitations with graphics cards, drives, and memory. So if you go a complicated AE render to do,iIt makes a lot more sense to run it on a PC at this time for me. So my hope here is I would de-activate one of my MAC's activate my PC then render away.
I like many others completely understand that we are only suppose to operate our software on 1 machine at a time. I am cool with you checking this. Other posters have asked what if I forget to turn one machine off leave with my MacBook Pro and then fire it up. Will I be in trouble? Not sure how you handle this if you don't have a connection. But Spotify the music streaming company license their software to me the user. If I fire up one machine, Then grab my iPhone and try to listen it turns it off on the other machine. Apps in the app store like MotionX Drive do the same thing.
I am an Electrical Automation Engineer by day and a Graphic/Video Designer Enthusiast at night.   In all the programming software that every vendor provides they provide a licensing server software service that sits locally within the location. It manages concurrent licenses, without the need for online connections. Any computer needing to run simply pulls the license from the network connected license server software service. When the program is done it releases the license. The only issues with this is if your license server crashes. It can be a bit of a headache with support to get your license back.   Others simply have an online site (like Apple) Where you simply log in and de-activate devices as needed. (Heck even Hulu, and Netflix offer this.)
I think if Adobe wants the Cloud thing to take off then they need to re-evaluate this. The license needs to follow the user not the device. The user should have a painless simple way to activate and de-activate their license back to their Adobe ID.

How many computers can you install software on

I have elements 10 installed on one computer can I install it on another?

I am pretty sure you can put on two computers. I think after you put the serial number in, Adobe will let you know whether you can put another copy on or not. It keeps track of how many times you've installed it. I hope that makes sense.
