IChat won't read chat transcripts

When I check my ~/Documents/iChats folder some of the chat transcripts have just the white document icon, are labled as "iChat Document" in the "kind" column, and have the extension ".ichat", which is visible. iChat is unable to read these transcripts although if iChat is not already open it will launch but not display any windows.
A few weird things about these unreadable transcripts:
Under the Get Info window the "Hide Extension" option is checked and greyed out even thought the extension is not hidden.
If I change the extension to ".chat" (which is the extension of the readable transcripts) then iChat will open up a blank chat window with the message "Message (Don't Localize)" displayed in the grey area at the bottom.
I have not been able to see any pattern to the unreadable transcripts and it appears completely random.
I have no idea what is going on here, but I would very much like to read all those transcipts, so any help would be greatly appriciated.

Hi Tim quick vid chat ok? OK LEt me start th camera on this one np OK did you start it yet? Editted bit has gone offline. You left the chat by logging out or being disconnected.
Which has to be divided into each side and background messages.
If iChat or Loggrrhea can not open it but TextEdit can it may be the closest you can get.
I can not get Safari or Firefox to open them.

IChat won't send chat invitation to my friends

Hi I didn't see anywhere to on the board for iChat 4 so I'm posting here. Basically the problem is whenever I try so start a multi-text chat with my friends PC and Mac users they don't get my chat invitations. However I can join chatrooms. I'd like some help if anyone knows the problem.

Try this.
Go to the File Menu in iChat
Select "GO to Chatroom"
It should be pre-filled with the Account Name (Screen Name) it thinks you are starting from.
Type over any Room name showing (Or type in Room Name) - You are creating one at this point.
You may also need to use the Show Participants from the View Menu.
You should now have an Empty Chatroom chat window open with the Participants drawer showing.
You can now drag Buddies to the Participants Drawer and send them a message as an Invite.
You can also use the "New Chat" option in the File menu and start A Text chat and drag multiple Buddies to the "To" Field and they will show in any Participant drawer as Waiting for Invite and you can then type a message to Invite.
NOTE
In re-testing the first Method I could not get a Text Chat window to display to add Buddies to.
I am sure I have done this since I got to iChat 4.0.7
It did work for a room I had previously created that remains in the list
The Second method worked for me.
Although my Show Participants option that used to be set to remembered across chats does not seem to remember it is supposed to be on show.
The Right Click (Control Click) method works for me.
If you find that these do not work for try deleting com.apple.iChatAgent.plist as this is the .plist for the Support App that does this Instant Messaging part.
You may Lose the setting for iChat Screen Sharing if you have set it in iChat 4

IChat WON'T WORK using audio or video chatting [PLEASE HELP]

Bought a Mac a couple months ago and I'm pretty (yeah, that's VERY) happy about it. The thing is when it comes down to my iChat, I wanted so much to have video conference with my family in Brazil while I'm studying in Spain -- but I Just can't! =(
Let's put it that way: iChat won't recognize my (Googlechat) friends and their webcams; and as long as I'm connected, I have never seen any sort of "audio label" beside their names.
So can any Mac-pro please help me out explaining what the matter is?
Can't I talk to my friends just because the're using PCs -- or there's nothing to do with it?
I've tried everything, from Preferences to Praying; and it won't work. Just wanna let you guys know that all the people that I'm trying to talk to have webcams and microphones plugged-in.
PS - Plus, I got this huge agenda full of contacts (around 2,000) that appear to be on my iChat list, but they're somehow never online. Is that because I have to send them an invitation to join my Googlechat? =/
I'm totally lost here.
I'd appreciate if you people could answer me quick - as you always do here =). Tomorrow I'll have this unique chance to talk to my grandmother (for she's living in some sort of farm far away from civilized world) and I'd REALLY want to chat via Video Conference with my family tomorrow night.
Sorry for my bad english and thanks in advance.

Hi,
You can Add an Google Mail ID (@gmail.com or @googlemail.com) as your ID/screen Name in iChat.
From iChat to iChat this will also do Video or Audio Chats as well as Text chats.
From iChat to anyone using the Google Web Mail page you can text chat as the Video and Audio codecs are different.
The same is true of the PC app for GoogleTalk.
To be able to login in to Google Talk using iChat your have to Enter you ID as it is written on any Google Page when you are logged in (Ends with either @gmail.com or @google.com), Mail seems to cope with either but iChat needs it to match.
You also have to Enable the Talk option on your Google Account info.
To See the Green Video and audio icons go to the View Menu of ichat and Select Show Audio and Show Video.
If you are trying to Chat with a PC I would use one of these
Alternatives to iChat but Video chatting In a Web Browser
MeBeam. An option to use a Web site that create Private room for Video Chatting. Uses Flash to access your Camera and Mic.
iVideoChat Similar setup but a somewhat corporate type look to the site. Has Public rooms as well. Again uses Flash.
Googlemail/GoogeTalk now do a Version in a Web Browser
Tokbox A Site that can link your existing Buddy Lists that Uses Flash to Video chat in a Browser.
From http://www.ralphjohns.co.uk/page5.html#_other
Tokbox allows you to link to existing Buddy Lists.

IChat won't recognize my MacBook's internal mic and allow me to audio chat

I have a MacBook which has built-in iSight and a built-in microphone. My iChat won't let me audio chat with my friends who are using AIM or Google Talk however the internal microphone is working. It works on Skype. It won't work on iChat at all however. It does not let me start audio chats or accept them. How can I get it to do that?
Thanks!

Hi kathleenmary:
Audio only chats only work Mac to Mac or Mac to PC's using Trillian.
Sorry!

How do I fix my ichat? My buddy list appears, but whenever I try to click on a buddy to chat, IChat won't let me. Nothing appears. When I try to click on "File" - "New Chat" Also nothing appears. What's wrong?

My buddy list appears, but whenever I try to click on a buddy to chat, IChat won't let me. Nothing appears. It won't let me chat regularly via text, or by video/audio chat. Even when I click on File -> New Chat, still nothing shows up! But, when I look at how many chats I have open, it says I have "X" amount of chats open! But nothing is there.........
If somebody tries to video chat me from my buddy list, I can see the request.... and then the video chat will work. But I cannot request anybody and if they send me a regular text ichat, ichat won't deliver it to me.
Somebody please help me I've tried so many things and nothing is working!!!!! :/

Hi,
This sounds like it is about Window positions.
iChat has Default places for Incoming Invites.
Video is always top Center of your Screen
Audio and Text chats are Upper right with the Audio slightly lower than Text Chats.
Secondary invites are sort of Stacked like when you open multiple files from the same App.
Your outgoing Windows are "Remembered" as to where the last one was when you used it.
This can be an issue if you use your Mac with a second display and turn Off Mirroring.
You windows can get "left" on the other screen.
Go to System Preferences > Displays and turn On Mirroring and the windows should come back to one Screen/display.
If this does not help go to your Home Folder/Library/Preferences and delete (Drag to Trash) com.apple.ichat.plist and restart iChat.
Unfortunately you will need to reset any iChat Preferences you have changed from defaults.

IChat won't initiate any form of chat

I have several Macs on a network (some with a wired connection, some with airport), and we often use iChat over Bonjour to communicate (all are running 10.5.6 and iChat 4.0.7).
One of our iMacs won't initiate chats. If we try to send a message to one of the other computers, it appears to start the chat session, but the receiving computer never gets a notification. It doesn't matter if it is a text chat, audio chat or video chat. This iMac receives chats that are initiated from another machine with no problem.
This one iMac ONLY uses Bonjour (there are no other iChat accounts set up on it) and, as I stated above, seems to be the only machine with this problem. I have tried deleting the appropriate plist files from the preferences folder, and that hasn't made any difference. I'm at a loss for other solutions.
Any suggestions?

On the errant computer make sure the Firewall setting (System Preferences > Security) is not set to Essentials.
This does not work for iChat as it is not an essential App.
Also make sure that the Mac User Logged in on that computer is not someone also logged in somewhere else.
Bonjour for iChat takes the Name found in the Address Book at the My Card (Head and Shoulders icon).

Ever since i downloaded skype to chat with a friend with a pc my ichat won't open

ever since I downloaded skype to video chat with a friend with a pc my ichat won't open - suggestions?

Hi,
So the DOCK looks like this ? (Or at least the Lion version of that)
The Menu Bar Icon looks like this ?
Ok if the App is open and you click once on the icon (Speech Bubble with Camera) in the DOCK all that will happen is that any iChat Window will come to the front.
This of course does need there to be an Open iChat Window.
Can you access the iChat Menu itself and Preferences from there ?
In the accounts section does it list any Accounts apart from the Bonjour one ?
In the Account info tab (If there is more tan one tab) does it say Use this Account and is the check box ticked ?
If before quitting iChat you close all the Windows including the Buddy List and then Quit iChat it will remember the Window state when you start it up again.
In fact the Window menu will tell you which Accounts are Logged in and these (if more than one) should match the "Use this Account" ones in the iChat Preferences.
Using the red button only "Hides" the Buddy List it does not log it out or Quit the app.
Does the Window menu list any Account like this pic does ?
(Example from iChat 4 with the Chax Add on (more Menu items) icons)
Does the Menu Bar icon (Second pic above) show you any Buddies in the drop down you see ?
This is my drop down menu for iChat 4 when iChat is Off
As you can see it says it is Off Line.
Selecting "Available" does nor launch the app for me either as it does not know which of the 6 Screen Names I usually Login is the one I want to be "Available"
I can understand the Menu (Drop Down) may have changed in iChat 6.
Nothing you have added in the last two posts indicates to me that Skype is in any way responsible (Not that I would normally wnaty to defend it)
Neither does it point to anything but a normal functions of iChat if you close it down in a certain way.
Also check the System Preferences > General Pane in Lion (it is called Appearance in earlier versions)
This has a new setting that can set for all App the ability to remember which windows were open the next time the app is launched. (i.e if a graphics app had a pallet open this would be remembered. However if all windows are closed but the app is still running when Quit this "windowless State" would be the one remembered)
(What is does do for iChat is return the "Remember Open Chats on Quit" from iChat 4 that got lost in iChat 5)

World of Warcraft: Cataclysm Chat Transcript

Hey all you World of Warcraft Gamers! @Dorothy-BBY and I talked with J. Allen Brack and Tom Chilton from the Blizzard Development team. They shared some time with gamers on our forum and here's the transcript of what they discussed!
Transcript for: 'World
of Warcraft: Cataclysm', Thu Nov 18 6PM CST 2010
Dorothy-BBY: Welcome to our World of Warcraft: Cataclysm chat
with Blizzard Developers Tom Chilton and J. Allen Brack, as well as moderators
Lylirra and Zarhym. Thank you all for joining us and the chat will start
shortly. Sit back, and enjoy asking some questions about Blizzard's newest
release! Game on!
JABrack: Hey there!
Tacgnol: Will the heirloom items scale to 85?
JABrack: The current plan is to
have heirloom items stop at level 80 at the moment.
palondon: Right now, up to 50% of Ignite damage disappears
due to the technical limitations of spells critting within certain timeframes.
This has implications for Mage dps and the value of Mastery as a stat. Is
overall damage being balanced to compensate and can we expect a solution in the
near future?
TomChil: We're resolving that by
rolling up any "lost" ignite damage into the next ignite that
overwrote it
deathmane: Has Blizzard considered adding a "Tabards
Tab" to the UI, so that tabard collectors can switch out tabards more
effectively without having to take up bank and bag space? --Thanks! Deathunholy
of Galakrond
JABrack: Hi. We have talked about
adding a tabard tab. We've talked about doing a closet tab to handle it. It
isn't something we are adding for Cataclysm though.
SenyoPanda: Will it be as long of a wait to fight Deathwing
as it was for Lich King?
TomChil: Hopefully not, we
definitely have a goal to get our content patches out more quickly than we have
in the past without sacrificing quality of course, we plan for deathwing to be
the most amazing encounter we've ever made! =]
Guest-124: Are there any plans to
potentially add queueing to the rated battlegrounds instead of it having to be
a pre-made raid team? I was really excited when I first heard about this
feature, but after reading the FAQ i was a bit disappointed with that design.
TomChil: we're currently looking
into the possibility of having players in the honor battleground queue be able
to be called to action by groups that aren't quite full, but we're going to see how the current queue'ing
works out first - that isn't something that would be available just yet
Guest-85: Will you allow players to fill their quest log
with say, 25 dailies, and then turn them in right after Midnight on December
7th to get a quick boost towards 85? This is how it worked in the beta, but
some players are confused on whether it will work on Live. Thanks!
JABrack: Regarding 25 daily
quests to turn in when the expansion goes live, this is something players have
been able to do for the last 2 expansions and we aren't talking about changing
it now.
Guest-224: Is Hit rating intended to tramp all other stats
but Str for Fury till the 27% hardcap? Seems excessive
TomChil: generally speaking, we
do balance hit rating to be the "best" stat until you're at the hit
rating cap
Josh-BBY: Quick note about the moderation of the chat.
Every magician has their secrets. We unfortunately cannot answer some of
your questions. If yours wasn't selected ask another burning question and we'll
see if our hosts can get to them!
Guest-96: I understand the decision from an economic
perspective but I was wondering if the deveopers were disappointed in the
decision to allow race changes immediately following the release of the
expansion.
JABrack: Regarding allowing
race/faction change on day one. Actually this wasn't an economic decision at
all. This was a decision that the leadership team made. Our priority as a dev
team is to allow players to play the game with their friends, the way they want
too.
We also talked about the
fact that this is a week one problem. So we made the decision not to restrict
anything.
felixlevron: Will darnasus be re built to be a real tree or
will it always look like a dead stump with trees at the top.
TomChil: ...but now that
Deathwing is doing his thing it makes much more sense than it used to! ;]
Zarhym: Deathwing hates trees.
axelumog: A lot of players I know are trying to plan out
what characters to roll for the new expansion, and the big question is: Will
there be ANY new realms tagging along with the release of Cataclysm? Some point
to low pop realms as a reason against, but surely with the redux'd 1-60
experience and the droves of returning players desiring clean slates, there has
never been a better time for a fresh realm or two?
JABrack: We haven't decided
exactly what the new realm decisions are yet, but we open new realms when there
is player demand for them. One thing we can't do is plan all realms for day
one. The goal is for realms to have good concurrency so everyone has a great
game/matchmaking experience.
Guest-138: Could you comment on the plan for raids in
cataclysm? If i remember it was said that there would be smaller raids in cata
but more of them. Would that mean like two small raids per patch or more
patches in total?
TomChil: the idea is that we'll
have more raid environments, but fewer bosses in each environment, but a similar
total number of raid bosses overall... if that makes sense. =] So, for cataclysm launch we have the skywall
environment, the twilight bastion environment, and blackwing descent versus
having almost all the bosses in one environment like we did with naxrammas
Wikehaja: With the changes to the game environment itself,
what new computer requirements will be optimal to run the game smoothly?
JABrack: One of the things that
is really important to us is a great gaming experience regardless of your
hardware. While the system requirements do go up over time, we do want the
experience on slower machines to be great. We do this by trying to add a lot of
graphical options to allow players to control the experience from "runs
fast" all the way to "looks great".
Retro94: Will there be more than one Legendary weapon in
Cata? Will there be a Caster DPS legendary? Any info or plans would be awesome
=) Thanks!
TomChil: It's likely there will
be more than one legendary weapon, although it's too early to say for sure. We
do, however, have a plan to do a caster dps staff soon.
Guest-226: where did Uldum come from?
TomChil: Egypt ;]
JABrack: The idea with Uldum is
that it has always been there, cloaked from the eyes of the players. The
emergence of Deathwing has damaged some of the technology that kept it hidden.
There is a story in the zone that explains this and what has been happening in
the player absence.
MatthewRhino: With resource systems now broadened to include
focus, rage, energy, and runic power as well as mana, and there being
conditionals like enrages, holy power, combo points and runes, will classes
that just use mana be getting similar treatment or remaining as they are?
TomChil: Really that decision is
made on a class-by-class, talent tree-by-tree basis. If we feel like the talent
spec in question needs a broader resource management then we do it, but we
don't like to unnecessarily complicate a spec's resource management if it isn't
absolutely necessary.
Guest-14: Is the Moonkin form for troll and worgen on the
beta and ptr the final form or is it just a placeholder?
JABrack: Final!
Guest-12: Why is it that we are
not able to use Archeaology before the exspansion? I thought it was really cool
how you guys released Inscription last time and would love to have the
opportunity to level it before the exspansion drops.
JABrack: Using archeology before
the expansion was something we talked about, but ended up adding everything
about the profession to the "post sundered" world. Thus, you won't be
able to use archeology before the sundering happens.
Josh|Community Connector | Best Buy® Corporate

Sair77: The first tier of Cataclysm raiding has 3 seperate instances to tackle. Are you guys planning on keeping with the Burning Crusade model (SSC/TK, BT/Hyjal) and having multiple instances per raid tier? Will Deathwing have to share the spotlight with some other instance?
TomChil: We'll evaluate that on a tier by tier basis. When we have awesome ideas that we can successfully make happen we'll do multiple environments, but it won't necessarily always be the case. We do have a super cool idea for the deathwing tier though... or at least so we hope. =]
Zuesian: Are there any plans for a new Lock mount? I would love to see a possible flying mount for Locks. Fireion Gnomeragen.
JABrack: One of the things we look at with mounts is broad appeal. While we do specific class mounts from time to time, most of the time we look to have mounts that all classes can use.
Arakiba: What happened with the Worgen district in Stormwind?
TomChil: We decided it didn't really fit very well, it was looking kind of awkwardly forced into the city. Plus deathwing would have destroyed it anwyays.
Dorothy-BBY: RAWR!!!
Guest-128: As the world of Azeroth is changing I was wondering if the Death Knight zone will stay the same or will it also be affected by the cataclysm?
JABrack: The death knight zone doesn't have any changes for Cataclysm.
Guest-310: I have been confused from the different posts for tier gear. Will there be three levels within each tier still or just heroic and normal and in either case will u just be getting them with points or will u still have to get certain things off drops off certain bosses to get the higher more heroic version of the tier gear?
TomChil: There is still just normal and heroic difficulty for the raid and dungeon content, and the heroic gear has a higher item level than the corresponding normal gear
Guest-392: Do you feel faction imbalance is a problem at the moment? My queue is around 10-15 min at prime time as a member of the Horde and I know this is the case on at least two of the battlegroups. If so, do you think Worgen will fix the problem? And if they do not, will free faction changes ever be a possibility in the future on battlegroups or servers with a major problem?
JABrack: We are working on some technology to further combine the PVP queues at server sites. This has been going on behind the scenes for a few weeks now in preparation for Cataclysm. Queue time is one of those things that gets a lot of attention and time, but will change significantly post Cata. Really good question.
IanG: What would you say was the hardest and/or easiest parts of developing this expansion? After all, many are saying this is the best expansion to date... So, what was the biggest challenge/easiest feat in creating it?
JABrack: There have been huge challanges with this expansion, unlike any we've seen in the other two expansions. The scale of Cataclym is huge for us, and something we didn't really expect when we started development. But we certainly feel like the effort has been worth it, and feel it's our best expansion so far.
Guest-202: Why does it seem the scorpion guild mount doesn't have a guild flag where the lion does? I was hoping to see Hordes of scorpions from our guild walking around with our tabard hanging from the tail like a flag behind them. ~ Sorenji of khaz modan
TomChil: When riding a scorpion mount, your character displays holding a large standard with your guild symbol on it.
Guest-127: Why did you decide to make 310% mount speed purchasable in 4.0? It's a huge price for such a tiny speed upgrade, and used to work well as a just-above-vanity perk for people who completed the toughest achievements.
JABrack: The primary reason was to equalize the awesome vanity mounts players had, and change the mechanic to one where you used the mount you were most excited about using. We wanted players to be able to see the mount players want, without considering the speed differential as a factor.
Guest-411: Will you allow players to change their login screen? I'd love to be able to use the Classic login screen, the unreleased one that was shown at Blizzcon, or perhaps a login screen of a previous expansion.
JABrack: Players are not able to change their login screen.
barretrifle: How would a person get a Guild Mount? Would it be guild rep? If so how would that be calculated or obtained?
TomChil: Once your guild gets to a high enough level and unlocks the guild mount, any player in the guild with a high enough guild reputation is able to buy the mount.
gandclynn: Will heirloom items work for goblins and worgens leveling from 1-80 at release?
JABrack: Heirloom items will work perfectly for Worgen and Goblin characters! Enjoy!
Dorothy-BBY: Woot!
Guest-124: Has there been any discussion of changing the heirloom items to true "Bind on Account" instead of the bind on server limitation that it has currently?.
JABrack: That is something we would like to do. Currently the servers mail carriers refuse to work together, and haven't worked out the economic terms from transferring mail from one server to another. One day we hope to resolve the union issues.
Dorothy-BBY: Thanks for all the awesome questions! Keep them coming!
Wikehaja: Will the option ever be available to change ones class, contingent upon what's currently available to the race restrictions at the time?
TomChil: Never say never, but we don't currently have plans to do that.
Guest-451: There's any through about making account wise achievement, like starcraft ones? It a reason for many players to not reroll/change mains since its look like a lot of work wasted when you switch your main char. Even changing to another char to help with one fight look a bit wrong now, if you are after achievements.
JABrack: We do have plans to solve this problem, as it is limiting people from re-rolling for sure. This is something we want to solve, but don't have a good solution on how to do it at the moment.
Josh-BBY: It's great to see how engaged you all are with this seriously rad game series!
Dorothy-BBY: EL OH EL Rad.
Guest-314: Was there anything you guys regret not being able to include at launch? Possibly something that didn't have enough polish to it that me way see in the future? (You don't need to mention the Dance Studio at this point, really, it's okay) Teln - Misha
TomChil: Well... there is the dance studio. ;] There are of course always things we'd hoped to get into any patch/expansion that get pushed out until later. One example would be the idea to have a built-in atlas that details every encounter in each dungeon/raid. We're not super happy about the fact that the first time anyone encounters a new boss, the only way to learn about it (other than looking up strategies on the web) is to charge in and die a lot.
We'd love to give players some idea of what they're about to fight before they engage the boss. =]
ZeroG56: Do honor points and Badges roll over into CATA, or do they reset to zero?
TomChil: Yes, honor points and justice points carry over into cataclysm. Stock up now!
Spyykke: Is there any talks of maybe some faction cooperative campaigns? Since the cataclysm is threatening to destroy all life of azeroth, to me a logical response from the heroes of azeroth would be to set aside their differences and be able to work together in a raid. An Idea to maybe lessen the frequency of such groups is make the raid difficulty increase by choosing to work with the other faction, a sort of Heroic mode. Possibly even dual faction specific raids. Has there been any talks of such poss...
JABrack: This is a common request, but not something we are looking to do. While there is a singular main bad guy in this expansion, the Horde and Alliance have their own unique challenges and agendas, and typically don't look to team up. After all it's the World of Warcraft, not the World of Peacecraft.
Guest-87: When designing expansions and content patches, do you have a list of new features to choose from that are planned out in advance or is there more of a brain storm session?
TomChil: The feature set for each patch is determined by a combination of doing things (or finishing things) that we've been wanting to do for a while, along with completely new ideas that emerge as a result of the immediate needs of the game
JABrack: The primary things you won't be able to do if you don't have Cataclysm are create a new Goblin/Worgen, level to 85, and fly in the orld world.
TomChil: We like to stay as flexible as possible, so it's important to us to make sure that we aren't "over planned" into the future even though the real needs players have are changing
SirHaakon: With the previous two expansions, the new content was actually on other continents, so if you didn't have the expansion, you just couldn't visit the continent. Since Cata is largely reworking of old-world content, however, how do you differentiate between someone with or without the xpac? What kinds of things will and won't be available to players don't have the upgrade?
JABrack: See my answer above!
Guest-16: Will the 80 to 85 experience be closer to the 18hr mark or the 5 day mark that was 70-80?
TomChil: That totally depends on the player to be honest, you'd be amazed by the differences in play patterns. That being said, somebody usually finds a way to level up very quickly.
Dorothy-BBY: Just so folks know, the Ustream is only for viewing the chat. Only folks in the initial 500 range are going to possibly have questions displayed. Thanks!
Guest-348: What new feature(s) in WoW: Cataclysm are you guys most proud of?
TomChil: I would have to say the 1-60 revamp, it's a ton of fun to play through the zones and an incredible amount of new content.
JABrack: I'm most happy with the new Worgen and Goblin starting experiences. I think they are the best starting experience we've ever done, and that includes the death knight.
Zarhym: I'm most proud of J. and Tom.
Guest-908: Question i have is why not have this latest expansion as a new territory like a Southrend similar to Northrend or a Moon body like Outlands instead of destroying Azeroth and Kalimdor? Were there limitations to expanding outwards or was this just to facelift the original game?
TomChil: We make decisions like this on a case by case basis.. again depending on the needs of the game. In the case of Cataclysm, the world was due in for an overhaul, and we wanted to make everything fly-able, so it was important to flesh out any areas that were originally unfinished.
Guest-441: Can you clarify and confirm what will be available to players when 4.0.3a hits and what will be unavailable until 7th Dec?
JABrack: 4.0.3a will be the patch that actually causes the world to shatter and change forever. At that point you will be able to experience the new 1-60 leveling experience, as well as the new race/class combinations. Very exciting!
milesd21: Is there an alternative mount for worgens that other races can ride
TomChil: Worgen can ride the other mounts in the game, if that's what you're asking. They're not limited to their feral run.
mikewho3: With the level 1-80 Heirloom items, when Cataclysm is released will the xp gain work while leveling until you hit level 81? Or will XP gain be disabled for those on release?
JABrack: They will not. Heirlooms stop granting their XP bonus at level 80. Not level 80.9999999.
gandclynn: Will achievment points ever be able to be used to purchase any perks?
JABrack: We have no plans to allow this. Achievements are a badge of honor only.
Josh-BBY: Hey everyone! Thank you for joining us for this chat!
JABrack: Thanks to all for everyone and their participation! Really appreciate you coming out! See you all in the game!
Dorothy-BBY: Thank you all! For the Horde!
Zarhym: Thanks all. We <3 you.
Dorothy-BBY: shameless plug for horde.
Josh-BBY: Please check back to view the chat transcript. We'll have it up here on our Forum and Blizzard will be hosting it too.

IchaT won't connect--first time user!!!

I am trying desperatetly to talk to my 3 yr. old daughter on ichat.
She and her mom have an apple id with ichat and i have an aol chat name with ichat.
I read other posts and changed the network setting 443, so did she.
it won't connect and we get connection errors. no success yet. once, we both came up then froze.
that's it.
any ideas?

I'm asuming you mean video chat. Check both of your iChat Preferences Video Bandwidth Limit and make sure it is "none." With no other internet-savvy apps other than Safari running, each of you go to http://speedtest.net and do a speed test. Remember the smaller of kilobits-per-second upload and download numbers. Go into  System Preferences > Quicktime and select Streaming Speed to be the value closest to what you get from speedtest. Some people just say select 1/.5MBPS and all works well -- I have had a different experience than that so I recommend that you use the smallest of the speedtest numbers. Presumably, AIM's "wait awhile before trying to login again" penalty timer will have expired by the time you get this other stuff taken care of.
Let us know how this works out for you.
PS - are you, like, on business travel and in a hotel? You may have hotel firewall issues. Marriott chain hotels let you request a public IP address on their service signup page to bypass their restrictive port blocks, others you need to call the hotel's ISP support line and have them put you on a public IP. I think it is T-Mobile broadband that handles Hilton chain. They can do it but if you get an inexperienced customer service rep, (s)he may say that (s)he can't do that, but they can coz' I've had 'em do it for me before. And don't forget to have all ports in your Mac's firewall closed on your laptop mac that you are using in the hotel with a public IP and the Mac's firewall turned on. Don't want any internet evildoers seeing an unlocked door. iChat will open locally on your computer what ports you need.

Updated to Lion OS now IChat won't start up.

Updated to Lion OS and now IChat won't work. When you try to start it you get the top portion of the icon with you picture and the camera icon to video chat but no buddies and all of the options in the menu are grayed out.

Check the hosts file or TCP/IP filtering, which might cause communication issues between iTunes, ports, and servers.

How to save chat transcript by buddy, not by date

iChat used to save the chat transcripts by buddy and not by date. Now each day has it's own saved file With numerous buddies. It used to append any new chat to the same buddy file. Is there a way to go back to that?

thank you. I have chax but can't find the log viewer. where is it? Also, do you know how to get AIM to stop telling me I am signed in in more than one location?

Safari and iChat won't work after lion upgrade

I just completed an upgrade to lion on my 2010 Mac mini and after reboot, safari won't open a web page..it just gets stuck with the blue loading bar about 1 inch from the left and iChat won't connect either. I've repaired permissions and rebooted several times, checked for 3rd party add-ons and still they won't work. Help! I need Internet again. I'm posting this on my iPad 2 because I can't get safari to load a page or download another browser like chrome or firefox:(

OK... i had a quick look around and it seems many peoples various issues were solved by just restarting their macs a few times... i downloaded the java update from the apple support site and then restarted twice and everything now working perfectly.

IChat won't start after 10.4.3 update!!!!!

After I installed 10.4.3 iChat won't start. It would look like it was going to Launch and would quit. I looked at all the postings and found a couple of ideas, but nothing that worked. The only way I can get on is by disabling my network connection and then starting iChat and then re enabling my network connection. Any other ideas. Please let me know.
G4 Laptop Mac OS X (10.4.3)

Ralph, no offense, I know you're trying to help this guy, but all you've done to offer him advice is to tell him what he already said he's doing and was trying to not have to perform every single time he wants to use iChat.
In his ORIGINAL post, he said exactly this:
The only way I can get on is by disabling my network connection and then starting iChat and then re enabling my network connection.
Please try and really read what someone asking for help is saying, then offer advice if you've got it. All it looks like here is that you weren't really paying attention to his problem in the first place.
As for me, I'm having much the same problem as a lot of people getting iChat to work, and I clicked on this seeing it had a reply thinking I was going to finally find an answer. It's a little frustrating to see people reply with exactly the same information they've already been given just being repeated back to them.

UCCX Web Chat Transcript does not show local language

Hi Everyone,
I have installed UCCX10.5 with CUCM10.5 and SocialMiner10.5. The web chat function works fine.
But when customer try to download the chat transcript it shows only English language, any conversations that typed in local language doesn't show (Blank).
I already installed language pack for SocialMiner but it still doesn't works.
Anyone please advise.
Regards,
Tinnakorn

Hi Tinnakorn,
What is the local language used here?
Looking through the user guide:
