Ichat AV for 10.2.8

Hello everybody out there.
Where can i find Ichat AV for 10.2.8 so I can use my Isight. It's for my old Mac, not for my Ibook.
Thanks,
B@rt

Hi B@rt,
Apple only produced a Beta of iChat 2 and a purchasable version of iChat 2 for Jaguar. Unfortunately both these are no longer available legally.

Ichat works for me when I'm in the US but not in the UK. In the UK it is like watching a tape played at about 1/10th speed.

iChat works for me when I'm in the US but not in the UK. In the UK it is like watching a tape played at about 1/10th speed. I have O2 broadband (who decline to help as they "do not support third party software").

Hi
In iChats prefs click on video and change bandwidth limit to 500.
Restart iChat.

Two questions: how do Skype and iChat compare for group video? quality, reliability, cost, etc are important. 2) Is my MobileMe ID what I need to use in the window in making an iChat buddy? It only says AIM above the window, online tutorial differs.

Hi,
IChat uses better Video Compression than Skype does.
On a top flight Mac you can send a 640 X 480 pixel frame up to 30 frames a sec.
Skype can't match this.
iChat in Video is Peer to Peer. (you can actually Log out of the Buddy list)
Skype seems to borrow something from everyone's bandwidth to make connections.
What do you mean by Business account Tracking ?
iChat Adds (or can add) the First Name, Last Name of your Buddies and create an Address Book Entry
Whether you mark those cards connected with a company is up to you.
(I have heard of issues with earlier version of iChat and the Address Book that "saw" the Company Name as the part of the Name and linking several Screen Names to the one name
Audio on a Mac using Skype tend to be the same as the streaming needs are less.
However you have to rely on any PCs audio abilities from PCs which may not be to the same standard.
Mac to PCs in iChat and AIM can be difficult though. (It should work but it rarely as simple as Plug and go)
Skype may suit your needs better on ocassions.

How do I change the script for a voice iChat Alerts for when a friend becomes unavailable?

How do I change the script for a voice iChat Alert for when a friend becomes unavailable?
Before I upgraded my system from Mac OS 10.4.11 to Mac OS 10.6.8 - I a had personalized the script for a voice iChat Alert when my husband logged off from work. I had the ichat voice warn me "OH, Crap! he's coming home now! Hurry clean house!" This personalized voice alert did not survive the upgrade. Now, I need step by step instructions to walk me through the process. Please help! I mis my machine shouting funny profane alerts.

Hi,
In iChat 3 (OS 10.4.x) there was Line at the Bottom of iChat > Preferences > Alerts that you could enter text to and it would speak that Text.
(you could set something against Individual Buddies as well).
This Setting is not there in iChat 4 or 5 (I presume iChat 6 as well).
Now it is possible to write AppleScripts that can Speak.
It is alos possible in iChat 4 upwards to link an AppleScript to an Action/Alert
At this point my lack of AppleScript knowledge lets me down on what to tell you to do next.
An Alternative would be to Record a sound with said alert.
Place this sound in your Home Folder/Library/Sounds
Then in the Alert opton for youe husband select the Log off option and link that Sound

IChat freezes for 10 seconds whenever I plug in headphones...

Does anyone else have this issue? I have the late '08 aluminum unibody with 10.6, iChat 5.0...
Any advice on this would be great.

Hi,
iChat is set to use the Mic listed in the System Preferences > Sound > Input tab
It is normally pre-set as there is only one choice on most computers to the item Listed in System Preferences > Sound > Output.
Depending if you have Built in Speaker(s) as that default choice (And no drop down in iChat for Output) AND the action of sticking in Headphones cuts the Speaker Output - then the System will Pause and check the new device plugged in before allowing apps to access it.
I would stick it in first.

Ichat freezes for 5 seconds

While on ichat, video will freeze for 5 seconds and come back, then continues to freeze for 5 seconds intermittently during the video chat. Happens whenever I am on iChat, regardless of who I am chatting with. Party on the other end does not see any indication that this is happening.

Hi,
You don't need iChat.
It should not be on there at all.
If the iCon in the DOCK looks like this then it is linked to iChat 4.
You should be able to Right/Control click that and get it to "Show in Finder"
Messages looks like this .

IChat bubbles for certain buddies stuck on a certain color

This issue is pretty stupid- I see most people are having problems with getting their iChat to work. Thankfully mine works well (most of the time) but I have a question regarding the look of my chats.
I may be mistaken, but I thought that when I first got my macbook/started using iChat (August 2008) that each time someone would message me, their chat bubbles would come up a different color. But now they are stuck on a few certain colors, always the same color bubbles for the same person. I've tried going to Preferences > Messages > Reformat Incoming Messages and choosing "Random" for "Sender's Balloon color" but it still doesn't change, even after starting a new chat window with the person, ALSO even after deleting them from my buddy list & re-adding them. Is this just how iChat works? Like I said, I coulda sworn it was different when I first had iChat, but I am not positive. If there is any way I could get around this problem, that would be great... Also, the buddies I am talking about are using AIM for windows, and I know that these are not their own text formatting colors.

Hi,
AS you can choose your Outgoing Colour of the Balloons (IM background) and the Font and it's colour so can your Buddies.
Unless you choose to Override Incoming Messages they will appear the colours and Fonts choices they have made.
The only time they will change is if the Buddy chooses to do so.

IChat webcam for G3?

Happy New Year all,
Just wondering if anyone uses their G3 iMac for iChat with a webcam? I was thinking of trying an iSight camera, but since Apple only build these into new Macs and Amazon advertise the old cameras at £600 a pop (!!! gold dust!!!) I haven't a clue what to do. Any other firewire cameras used or success with USB cameras on USB1.1???
As usual, many thanks in advance for any experiences shared…
Simon

Hello Simon
For Firewire alternatives to external iSight, take a look at Unibrain, iSweet, Fire-i, or others that claim compatibility with your version of Mac OS X and the apps you want to use with your webcam. Remember to check for microphone capability if you need that.

IChat asking for my Google Talk password but I don't have one

I can't log on to iChat. When I launch it I get a window that says iChat can't log into my email addres because my login ID or password is incorrect. I don't have a talk.google.com password because I've never signed up for this service. When I hit the cancel button I remain logged offline. When I try to make myself available again it repeatedly asks me for my talk.google.com password.
Any ideas?

Your backup must be encrypted which is something that you would have had to have set up when syncing with iTunes at some point.
There is an option in the Summary Tab - Encrypt iPad Backup. That is what you must have done - or someone else did when backing up the iPad. I would assume that you will have to restore as new if you can't remember the password.

Is iChat available for OS X Lion?

I just bought a new mac and was wondering if iChat is around or if its just FaceTime now

HI,
If iChat is not in the DOCK and you want to "Bring It back" as in earlier versions of the OS, then open the Applications Folder and Drag the iChat icon to the DOCK. This recreates the icon and the Link back to the App so it will lauch from the DOCK if yiou want it to.
Original Question
I just bought a new mac and was wondering if iChat is around or if its just FaceTime now
My reply to that.
Although in Lion it is not in the DOCK automatically like previous versions, it is in the Applications Folder.
Mordejai's Question
Alright, but how can you get iChat back if you prefer it so . For example how can i get iChat (i have the same issue as him )
(some capitals Lettters added and a word removed for grammar purposes)
Clearly states it is the SAME Issue of iChat not being in the DOCK.

Built in iSight and iChat used for home monitoring?

Can I set up my iMac to monitor my dog in my apartment while I'm at work? Would I connect with iChat, or would I somehow set it up as a webcam?

Hi,
Yes.
The Home computer needs to have Auto Accept set up for Video chats.
The Chax Add-on allows you to select which Buddies that will allow (So you can limit to just your Remote Mac's Screen Name)
For Alternatives see this list, near the bottom (Nanny Cam Section)
That tends to needs a Web site for the home computer to Upload to.
You may have considerations about this if you have limited Upload service in either speed or Amount.

Ichat help for os 10.4.11

I have had my Macbook since 2006 and just recently have looked into IChat. I have gone to download the .pkg on my hardrive and it states a installation error and wont download any ideas?

Hi,
As Defcom says that is not a Download for iChat 3
It comes with OS 10.4 and is updated via Software Update.
If you are up to 10.4.11 then iChat should be at iChat 3.1.8
Deleting the iCon off the DOCK (Drag and Drop) gets you an Animated Puff of smoke and it only removes the icon form the DOCK.
The app should still be in your Applications Folder.
You may need to start here and work left to right across the lower Menu block

Ichat "waiting for a response"

HI,
I just made an AOL account so i could ichat with my friend. When i try to initiate a call it keeps saying "waiting for a response". When she tries to call me
it says the same thing for her. What do i do?
PS: I dont even get a message to accept the call
I have OS X mavericks

Hi,
IF you are sure iChat is set up correctly are you sure your routing device is ?
There are ways to get AIM or Google Logins to access the servers to see your Buddy List by dropping the login port to 443
However this will not allow you to Video Chat (Audio Only Chat or Screen Share)
I am also not sure if you are trying to chat from AIM to AIM or Jabber to Jabber Buddies (you cannot do AIM to Jabber)

Recording iChat Audio for Podcast

I'm struggling to find a solution for recording audio for podcast interviews and am thinking that perhaps there's an easy answer I'm overlooking.
I have no problem connecting to an interview subject using iChat, however, my voice levels are only 50 to 75 percent as strong as the subject's. This same situation occurs when I'm using Skype. I have all of my input levels set to maximum.
Tests with Ecamm Call Record and Audio Hijack Pro have a similar problem.
Also, is there a way to record audio directly from iChat with these third-party apps?

Umm, a Pretty problem.
I would first test with several Buddies to get their opinion on how loud you seem to them.
I can turn up my volume but it still requires that I speak as loud as I would in a conversation and face the Mic. If I sit too far back from the mic I get too quiet no matter how I talk.
I find this with people who test with me who confirm they have System Preferences > Sound > Input volume cranked up. (the worst are Australians sitting outside on the veranda for Breakfast and trying to show me the view with a laptop)
As I have two Macs sitting quite close to each other I do get feedback if I connect the two in a Chat so I have to pay attention to the volume setting.
Having said all that if the resultant recording seems too low in Volume at You end I would personally use iMovie 6 to teak the volume up when I spoke - either by Extracting it and cutting it up and increasing those portions or by using the purple and yellow dots to do so.
The Eccam page actually says this...
Create a Podcast
Conference Recorder makes it easy convert your QuickTime movies into MP3 or AAC format. Simply drag a recorded QuickTime movie to the included "Convert to MP3" or "Convert to AAC" utilities, and let them do the work for you. Additionally, Conference Recorder records each side of the conversation on separate tracks, allowing for easy post-editing. The included "Split Movie Tracks" utility will automatically export each movie track to a separate file.
This would mean that you could turn up the track for your Audio in Quicktime Pro
Launch the file but not Playback
Go to the Window Menu > Show Movie Properties
Select the Audio Setting tab.
Increase the Volume db on one Audio track and see if it your speech by playing.
Adjust as required (Change track if required).
Save File to save the adjustment.
Hope this helps.
