IChat 4 works with iSight on MacBook Pro to a PC and USB webcam, not iMac

I have a .Mac account. My mother has a AIM account and a working USB camera. I can communicate no problem when using iChat on my MacBook Pro, but cannot see myself when using iChat on my iMac, same .Mac account. Any explanations for that?

Are you trying to talk to yourself or is this to your Mother ?
The first will not work with the same Screen name. (it will in Bonjour if the two Macs have different IDs in the Address Books)
If it is to your mother then how are the ports iChat needs opened in the routing device ?
If it using Port Forwarding then only one computer will work.

  • Will it work with the 2010 MacBook Pro?

    Can anyone tell me if the Apple DVI to ADC Adaptor will work with the 2010 MacBook Pro with DisplayPort using Apple's "Mini DisplayPort to DVI Adapter"?

    I'd suggest checking out the drives at OWC:

    Take it back to the Apple Store for repair since it's still in warranty.

They keyboard lights up when it is booting up but when i try to sign in, nothing types or the mouse wont work. i am fine if the mouse doesnt work because i can use an external one but can someone please help me?!

  • I have had my macbook pro for 3 days, and it will not charge.  I tried several differnt outlets, tried cleaning and wiggling the magnet charger, still nothing.  Has this happened to anyone else? Any suggestions?

    You have 14 days from the date of purchase to return your MBP.  Personally, I would not waste my time "troubleshooting" if the normal solutions do not work.
    Return the MBP for one that works before your 14 days are up and/or call AppleCare ASAP!!!
    Good luck!

  • Can I insert a memory card into my Macbook Pro?  I tried, and it does not go in on its own, I don't want to force it and get it stuck!! Help!

    Maybe the wrong port or the wrong kind of memory card? You didn't say what version/year of Macbook Pro you have. Below is a photo of the newest one.
    Red oval = USB port. It is to the left of the headphone jack.
    Blue oval = SDXC card port. Is your card an SDXC card?
    What are your options for transferring data to the picture frame?  The manual should say.

  • Which external modem works with the new Macbook Pro 15"

  • My ipod classic wont work with my new macbook pro?, My ipod classic wont work with my new macbook pro?

    My ipod classic, (that I've previously used on another mac), is not working on my new Macbook Pro??  I've had all my music transered to my new Macbook, but can't upload anything onto my ipod :-(

    When I tried the headsets again, they all work. I didn't have one of them plugged in far enough. I guess didn't want to breakanything. Thanks for your reply. All fixed!!

  • I want to upgrade iMac to Snow Leopard, can I use the (DVD-Mac OS X 10.6.3) that I got with the 15" MacBook Pro that totally died, and upgrade iMac from that DVD

    I want to upgrade my iMac to Snow Leopard, can I use the (DVD-Mac OS X 10.6.3) that I got with my purchase of the 15" MacBook Pro that totally died, and upgrade the iMac from that DVD that came with the laptop ?   Thanks

    No, that 10.6.3 DVD is system specific to the MacBook Pro.
    You need a Snow Leopard Upgrade > Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.)
    or if a MobileMe users > Apple throws MobileMe users a free version of Snow Leopard

  • Late 2011 Macbook Pro battery is toast, and I am not sure why!

    I have had my late 2011 Macbook Pro for 3 years and 5 months. Before I left for vacation on July 28th my battery held 98 percent charge. I turned it off and put it in my closet. Now when I have came back my battery holds 2.2 percent, not even enough to be unplugged for a second (128mah). I of course expect my battery to go at some point but my battery has only been through 340 cycles and apples site says the max is 1000. Any suggestions into why my battery is dead after so few cycles? Additionally any suggestions into where I can buy a battery for my computer?

    ipodperson1,
    your battery holding 98% charge before you left for vacation doesn’t tell the most relevant information — what its Full Charge Capacity was then. Is 128 mA·h its current Full Charge Capacity, or its current Charge Remaining? That is, is the battery merely drained, awaiting a full recharge, or is it now unrechargeable?
    You can buy a replacement battery for your MacBook Pro by taking it to an Apple store, or if you prefer to replace the battery yourself, you can buy a suitable battery from reputable third-parties, e.g. NewerTech batteries from OWC.

  • Problems with iSight on MacBook Pro

    When I open my Photo Booth application after awhile of using my MacBook Pro, the iSight doesn't work. When I reboot it seems to work again, then after awhile it doesn't work. All I see is a black screen with a camcorder icon with a slash through it.

  • Brother Printer HL-5250DN not working with my new MacBook Pro - HELP

    Hello there, I just purchased a new MacBook Pro - I've had to use PC (yuck) for work and had an IBook which was great until the dog knocked it off the dresser ...... Anyway, so I've replaced it with the Pro and love it - of course. Except......
    My problem is this Brother printer (HL 5250DN) which has been an absolute workhorse, but try as I might I can't get this Pro to print - unless I physically hook it to a USB port and print, which defeats the purpose of having a wireless network allowing me to print from anywhere.....
    I have tried suggestions from previous posts (unzipping the gz files - resetting the printer) but still nothing works... Any other suggestions - I'm going nuts here and Brother help line can't seem to give me a solution that works... HELP..... I really want to get going (New Years Resolutions and such) on my new projects and am absolutely grounded with this thing....
    MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.5.5)

    Check the Dell website for compatible printer drivers you can download and install.
    Once the drivers are installed, open System Preferences > Print & Scan > Print
    Then click + to add the printer.
    ***  When you post for help, please state which OS X is installed.
    If you aren't sure, click About this Mac from your Apple menu 
    Troubleshooting advice can depend on that information.
