Is iChat available in Mountain Lion?

Is iChat available in Mountain Lion?  If so, how do I use it and connect with a contact who, I think, has Leopard with iChat.

iChat is now Messages. Still has the features of iChat (and more).

  • I'm trying to migrate from mobileMe to iCloud but I have Snow Leopard (the latest version). It looks like Lion is no longer available because Mountain Lion comes out next month (July). The problem is mobileMe ends on June 30th. How can I migrate?

    I'm trying to migrate from mobileMe to iCloud but I have Snow Leopard (the latest version). It looks like Lion is no longer available because Mountain Lion comes out next month (July). The problem is mobileMe ends on June 30th. How can I migrate?
    My iphone and my ipad are compatible but when I try to go to icloud on my phone it says to do it on my computer.
    I would like to have my calendar, contacts, etc.. all sync like they do now. Is there a way to upgrade before June 30th? If not, will the gap be an issue or will I just be able to buy mountain lion and sync everything?
    Any suggestions?
    Thank you!

    You can buy Lion in the App Store now, but move to iCloud now. If you wait to Mountain Lion, you will only have Mail in Snow Leopard, so you will lose syncing unless you use Lion or Mountain Lion. It's up to you

    There is no way that I know of to install iChat because it is not supported in ML. You may want to read a couple of these Threads

  • HT2020 Can iChat and iMessage interface at all or do I have to load iChat on my Mountain Lion to set up a chat session with iChat?

    My senior parents have iChat.  I have iMessage.  I want to help them remotely and want to share screens.  Can that be done?

    Oh, you wanted the How as well ?
    (You didn't actually ask that)
    Both you and your parent need to be on the same Messaging service (it comes down to using AIM or Jabber).
    Lets presume you are using an Apple ID in Messages that is from an iCloud registration (@me.com or @icloud.com ending name).
    You would need to enter this name (Again) As it is a Valid AIM Name in the Preferences as an AIM Account (Press the + button then chose AIM in the drop down)
    If they are using AIM already then just add each other to each others Buddy lists.
    If you both happen to have Gmail Accounts then your could Enable "Talk" on your Google Settings then add your proper Gmail ID  and chose GoogleTalk in the Accounts > + button > Add account pane
    You have to enter your Google ID as it appears on the Web Mail Page   (The Apple Mail app will accept @gmail.com or @googlemail.com and fetch your mail but iChat and Messages needs it to be just so).
    If you both have Facebook accounts then Enable "Chat" on your Facebook Setting and Add this as a Jabber ID
    NOTES.
    Certain Apple IDs are valid Screen Names (@mac.com @me.com and @iCloud.com) but some of these if registered via iCloud will not work in iChat version earlier than iChat 6.
    This is due to the way iChat 6 and Messages logs in to me.com as well as a security check on looking at the password.

  • Features not available on Mountain Lion

    Hi,
    Does any one know which feature i'll not have access on Mountain Lion from my MacBook Pro mid 2010? Reading the documentation, seems that the airplay mirroring and power nap will be disabled, why?
    Thanks

    Hi there,
    No one will know for sure until Mountain Lion is out but Power Nap does require specific hardware that is capable of running tasks while the computer is in sleep mode, at this point only the late model MacBook Air's and Macbook Pro Retina display have that feature.  I can find nothing anywhere that states that Airplay Mirroring won't work on any machine.
    Regards

  • Older Time Machine backups not available in Mountain Lion?

    My wife relies heavily on Time Machine to restore old files that have been deleted or previous versions of a file. Recently I upgraded her Mac OS from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion. Today she discovered that she is unable to search and/or restore files from any point before the upgrade to Mountain Lion, although she can see dates along the timeline that indicate that there are backups present. She has backups going back almost 3 years now, so this is a pretty serious potential loss. Is there a work around for this? If not, we'll have to roll back to her Snow Leopard OS from theTime Machine.  Just FYI, her system specs are:  iMac (24-inch Mid 2007) Mac OS 10.8.x 3GB RAM

  • Old Mac running Mountain Lion 'sees' Canon IP5000, new MacBook pro will not. No driver available from canon. Is there a way of transfering whatever is working from old mac to new?

    I have two older macs running Mountain Lion that have been upgraded over the years from Leopard. They have continued to be able to print to a Canon IP5000 and use a driver that is fully functional. On the new MacBook Pro, the printer is found, but no driver is available for Mountain Lion from apple or Canon. Is there a way of getting the driver info from the old mac so that it will work on the new one?

    Sorry, it says "New Event," not "New Entry." My bad.

  • How do I disable my dvd optical drive on my MacBook Pro (Mountain Lion)?

    Hey,
    I have dvd stuck in my optical drive and it keeps on making a noise-non stop. I've tried everything to remove it, ATM cards, rebooting whilst holding mouse key and eject botton, terminal command etc etc.-nothing works! I'm stuck in North Africa with no Apple services available anywhere close by.
    I don't really use the dvd drive that much anyway so I would like to just disable my dvd optical drive all together. I saw that it is possible on Snow Leopard and Lion but the option to go to /Library/Extensions and removing (IODVDStorageFamily.kext) and removing it is not available on Mountain Lion.
    Help please!

    Light source. Straightened paper-clip. Insert straight (no wiggling around) to find the mechanical eject hole on the edge of the DVD drive.
    Hold the MBP trackpad down during a cold reboot. I know you said you used a mouse like this.
    In Terminal, type drutil eject
    Try ejecting the DVD with the MBP flipped upside down. Sometimes all you need is gravity. If the credit card didn't pry it up off the drive spindle, maybe this will.
    Because of your location, you may not have the tools to take the MBP apart and remove the DVD drive.

  • Easiest way to upgrade from Apple Mac OS X 10.5, Leopard to Mountain Lion or Lion without buying Snow Leopard?

    I have a 2009 Macbook Pro with Apple Mac OS X 10.5, Leopard on it and I'm starting to get annoyed with the fact that some stuff is not compatible with this OSX anymore. I would like to be able to upgrade to Mountain Lion or Lion but without having to fork out £15 on Snow Leopard when it won't get used, or should I upgrade to Snow Leopard and not bother about upgrading to Lion or Mountain Lion.
    Thanks in advance
    Matt

    You have to get Snow Leopard first.
    Start by checking if you can run Snow Leopard:
    Requirements for OS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard'
    http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
    The OS 10.6 Snow Leopard install DVD is available for $19.99 from the Apple Store:
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    and in the UK:
    http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    but nobody knows for how long it will be available.
    When you have installed it, run Software Update to download and install the latest updates for Snow Leopard.
    To use iCloud you have to upgrade at least to Lion, but some functions are only available in Mountain Lion:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4759
    You can also purchase the code to use to download Lion (Lion requires an Intel-based Mac with a Core 2 Duo, i3, i5, i7 or Xeon processor and 2GB of RAM, running the latest version of Snow Leopard), or you can purchase Mountain Lion from the App Store - if you can run that:

  • Window Activity function Disappeared in Mountain Lion.

    I often used the Window>Activity function to identify and download videos from web sites.  That option is no longer available in Mountain Lion. Does anyone have an alternate method to download web site videos without using a third party software package?
