IChat-skype help to see new grandbaby

I'm trying to figure out what I need to video conference or video "call" someone on windows skype. I have ichat 3 and an AIM account. New to this idea, but not new to mac. I tried to get skype for my ibook, but I guess you need a G4. Want to see the new baby. Any help is appreciated.

NEED HELP!! ICHAT & SKYPE video screwed. QTPRO&ImovieHD video fine!

Unable to get help from apple support. Can't figure out how to fix video problem with isight, ichat & skype. the image is broken up into vertical lines like looking through glass. This is a recent problem. However, ichat and skype work fine with a camcorder. How can this be?
Image is perfect on qtpro & Imovie HD as well as Quicktime Broadcaster.
Support wanted me to reinstall 10.3.5 over 10.3.9 and to preserve settings. Recently installed isight update 1.0.3 and a few programs on apple website.

Hello pickmynose
Whenever a user is having as much difficulty as you are, I suggest you keep your important files backed up regularly. If you have not backed up recently, now would be a good time. Then, on to your issue.

Support wanted me to reinstall 10.3.5 ...
Sounds like they are trying to help. Why have you not tried their suggestion?
... image is broken up into vertical lines like looking through glass ...

... Image is perfect on qtpro & Imovie HD ... Quicktime Broadcaster...
The fact that your iSight "image is broken up into vertical lines like looking through glass" while "ichat and skype work fine with a camcorder" coupled with your assertion that "Image is perfect on qtpro & Imovie HD as well as Quicktime Broadcaster" leads me to think (as apparently do "apple support") that you have a software problem.
If you do not want to try the suggestion offered by "apple support", consider
applying the Mac OS X Combined Update 10.3.9. Repair permissions immediately before and after updating.
Users have reported fixes to a variety of audio, video, connectivity, and software conflicts and unreliability issues after properly applying Combo Updates.
Although you report that "Image is perfect on qtpro ...", the fact that you are post this problem
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=4153016#4153016
about using QT Pro, have added "a few programs on apple website," and list several accessory devices in your system information leads me to wonder if you might have a Possible hardware or software conflict. Unplug, uninstall, and disconnect everything possible while you check for potential conflicts.
I see from another of your posts that you were using FileVault. FileVault Can Affect Performance on any application that writes to disk. Turn off FileVault, at least while you are troubleshooting and until you get things working properly. I only turn FileVault on while my laptop Mac is in transit or not in my possession. I turn FileVault back off while I use it. This takes some time, but saves a lot of trouble.
Seemingly unrelated problems in multiple applications or operations can sometimes be a symptom of a startup disk that needs more free space or some other Mac OS X Maintenance. Perform maintenance now unless you know your maintenance is up to date.
Finally, try any relevant suggestions you have not already tried from Apple's How to Troubleshoot iSight kbase article. Sometimes strange problems occur in only one user account. Test to see whether the problem is resolved if you start a new user account.
If you still have the problem, unless you get better suggestions here, I think you should contact your Apple-Authorized Service Provider for professional service.

How do I get messages to go back to an AIM account? It's only seeing the iPad's Facetime email address and not seeing the old AIM account name that is on my desktop. I am using my iMac using iChat to talk to a newer iMac that doesn't have iChat.

How do I get messages to go back to an AIM account? It's only seeing the iPad's Facetime email address and not seeing the old AIM account name that is on my desktop. I am using my iMac using iChat to talk to a newer iMac that doesn't have iChat. We had this working using Messages and Facetime (on the new machine) talking to my existing iChat account. One day last week, when Facetime rang, my kids answered on the iPad. Dang! Now it's all fouled up! The new iMac won't see my AIM account name and shows that I'm offline, because the iPad is off. We were able to call using "most recent call" in Facetime, but now I can't go and control that new iMac remotely to help with some email concerns the user is having. I'm trying to not personalize this too much, but it's grandkids talking to Grandma and Mom and Dad trying to solve new machine hiccups. Normally, I could just go in via iChat and control the other machine and troubleshoot, but I can't do it with Facetime only. My buddy list doesn't see the other computer even though we are connected on Facetime right now. My name is not highlighted for the other computer. What could have gone so wrong?
Any help would be appreciated.

im on osx version 10.8.3, on a macbook pro.
please help, thank you

HI,
I feel there is slightly more to this story.
Mountain Lion (OS X 10.8.x) does not have iChat.
It has Messages which is iChat+ as it has had iMessages added to it.
(I think that a Mountain Lion Upgrade is part of the picture.)
This suggests you Changed the Hard Drive and either Installed or cloned the OS on to the (new) Drive.
At this point you may have migrated your Mac User Account from different computer or the old Hard Drive.
If you were Migrating apps from an old drive or computer then it is technically possible to "install" iChat in the Applications Folder but it will not work.
Each version of iChat has to "Match" the OS it is on.
Broadly speaking that is iChat 4 is in Leopard (OS X 10.5.x) and iChat 5 is in Snow Leopard (OS X 10.6.x)
In fact it goes deeper than this in that incremental updates in the OS include (sometimes) the updates to iChat.
This means that by OS X 10.5.8 at the end of the Leopard Updates iChat is at version 4.0.9
Snow Leopard gets to OS X 10.6.8 but iChat 5 only gets to version 5.0.3 at this point.
Open your Applications Folder.
Does this contain iChat, Messages or in fact Both ?
If you then highlight and then use CMD and i keys (Get Info) what version information do the app(s) display ?
The Messages App should not be put inside any other folder.
I have seen where people have created "Messaging" folders putting MSN, Skype and Messages or iChat in the same folder to "tidy" the Applications folder.
This can mess up updates.
In fact if you have done this the DOCK item may point to something that did not get Updated to Mountain Lion.

If you have tried every relevant suggestion from How to Troubleshoot iSight but your camera is still not recognized anywhere in your System Profiler's USB Device Tree, you likely have a hardware problem.
Properly applying the Combo version of the latest update for your Mac OS can sometimes correct software problems, but, if your trouble is caused by a hardware problem, there are no user serviceable parts of the camera. For hardware help, contact Apple or an Apple-Authorized Service Provider for service on your MacBook Air.

HI,
Welcome to the  Support Communities
It really depends on what you have done so far.
The Simplest is to open iChat go the word iChat in the Menu Bar (Drop Down Menu)
Select Preferences.
In there select Accounts.
Highlight any account in the list you no longer want (you can't delete the Bonjour one)
Once highlighted press the minus button at the bottom of the list.

ISight visible in USB, but no iChat, Skype or Photobooth in first user only

I just updated from 10.4.11 to 10.5.1.
I have one issue:
the iSight is visible in the list of USB devices, but not in iChat, Skype or Photobooth in first user;
a second user can use iSight in Skype, but not in iChat or Photobooth.
I suspect a problem with a residue from a former program, extension or preference.
Help welcome.

See if iChat shows video after you start up in "safe mode".

After you've logged in, open iChat and select "video" > "preview" from the top menu, close iChat.
Restart in normal mode.
Open iChat, select "video" > "preview" from the top menu.

Skype help file obsolete on important subjects

The Skype help system, which is sent to my browser, is in need of a rewrite for easier use, but especially for updating feature names that are obsolete. The latest instance is I want to use that feature called "Call Quality" or something like that. When I look it upon Skype help it says to go to the "Computer" tab and use something underneath it. There isn't a "Computer" tab now. I guess there may have been when this text was written many years ago. I've been searching for 10 minutes to get to that feature that allows you to call yourself for testing purposes, and I can't find it now, although I've used it in the past. The Skype help feature gives me bad advice, and I wish I knew which tab it is under now. I've looked under all of them, without success. I'd appreciate an answer to this question ASAP, and a commitment to update those help answers.

Call Quality Monitor is only available when you are in an actual call.

If you press the Call Quality Monitor, as shown in this image, you will see a new window with the Computer tab available.

I open my email from frontiernet (a local provider) I can read the email but when I go to reply or forward I get a Skype help page then a blank page. Therefore I can't reply or forward email.

I log-in to webmail. frontier.com and go to my inbox. I have no trouble reading my email but I cannot reply or forward. When I try to do either I get a screen that first has a Skype help page then goes blank. It says done on the bottom but there is no reply box to type in. I've never had this problem before and I've been doing this for almost 2 years on may computers. The only thing different is I had some work done and had to re-install Firefox. Could a newer version cause the problem? I do not have this problem when I use IE or am on a different computer.This was happening even before I installed Skype.

Disable the Skype extension for Firefox - both versions if you really have two versions installed.

Outlook 2013 and exchange. Cant see new mail in subfolders.

Hello,
In our company we have exchange 2010 with sp3 and all clients with windows 8.1 and Outlook 2013. Problem is that clients have problem with new messages in their mailboxes. they cant see new messages in subfolders. In Outlook 2010 everything worked fine,
and after migration to 2013 this problem started.
For example:
There is user mailbox. He have a lot of subfolders. All subfolders is for varies companies. So he created rules, then someone writes from campany, mail goes to its subfolder. Problem is that then user opens Outlook in the morning, he can't see that
new mails are arrived to those subfolders. User must open that subfolder and only then, inside that subfolder he can see unread message. But how user can know, that inside is unread mail? :) Sometimes everything works fine, and sometimes user can't see new
mails. Then he opens OWA, all new mails is marked as unread and there is number near subfolder with unread mail count.
And this problem repeats to all users. I updated exchange to SP3 update 6. Operating system and Outlook is up to date. Recreation of profile helps for a week or two (Or user do not notice problem), and after that user calls me again with the same problem.
And this happens not for one user but for all. Sometimes restarting Outlook helps, after restart number with unread mail count appears near subfolder. There is no addins or other changes in Outlook. Search folder is not a solution, because there is a lot of
subfolders, so it would be a mess.
Can you advice me? Where can be problem? Is it global for all users who are using exchange 2010 and Outlook 2013?
Mantas

I tryed using search folder but this solution didnt helped. Then user opens Outlook he sees unread mail count near subfolder, and sum of unread mails in search
folder. But somefing happens and new mails does not appear neither in search folder neither near subfolders. But then client opens subfolder there are unread mails. In OWA everytime everything is OK. So user must check in OWA is there new mails and in which
subfolder, then he opens that subfolder in Outlook, and uhnread mail is here.
And another thing. Now one of clients have this problem. There is no count of new mails in subfolders, outlook does not show it, but OWA shows. In rules, client created few rules, near rules in action section,
there is icon, it looks like screwdriver and wrench, i went to propeties of those rules and removed "Stop processing more rules", and this icon disappeared. All rules updated to server, and after that, new messages counts appeared near few subfolders.
Is it possible that somehow this message count is combined with rules? Ant what does whis screwdriver and wrench icon means?

Audio cable help for the new AppleTV.

Audio cable help for the new AppleTV.
Currently I have an original AppleTV with audio RCA plugs to mini plug into my BOSE speakers.
The 2nd Gen AppleTv has a Toslink input. I've looked at cables of Toslink to optical mini. Will this cable work? The optical mini part I'm not sure of what it is.
Thanks so much. The monitor I use doesn't have speakers.
This is the cable I see at Amazon

If I understand your question correctly, you want to connect your Apple TV2 to your Bose system using a mini plug.
You will need an optical to digital coax RCA converter (find it on Ebay about $15), then you can connect your mini cable. Here is a link to one I recently bought on Ebay: http://fwd4.me/nrQ

Can't See New Layer Styles In PS Elements V. 6 For Mac

Can someone tell me why I cannot see new styles after I have installed them in PS Elements V6 for Mac. I have used Elements 4 for Mac for about a year, and I've just recently bought the new version. The book says you install them the same way in V. 6 as I did in V4. But they do not show up in the drop down list. I use styles a lot in V. 4. Thank you.

I did just as you said -- deleted both the mediaDatabase.db3 and the thumbdatabase.db3 -- they were not in folders other than 6.0 folder. I'm not sure what you meant by "repair permissions", but it did run through rebuilding itself after I restarted PSE.
Do you think it might help if I created XML files? I read something about them in the manual, but it sounded so difficult, I was afraid to try it.
I really appreciate your help. Thank you.
