Kde kopete with ichat

I've just started using kopete and I like the look of the ichat style of chat window. However, when I use it, and I talk my text does not fit in the chat bubble nicely. It's not "transparent". I cant describe it, but i have a screenshot available here Notice how the text from the person I'm talking to looks fine, but my text doesnt. Anyone got any ides?

Try using aMSN.

How do i use my apple id with ichat?

how do i use my apple id with ichat?

Hi,
Only @Mac.com and MobileMe Apple IDs are valid AIM names as well (And the Passwords need to be 16 characters of Less - AIM end Issue).
If you have any other form of Apple ID then you will need to register for either an @mac.com name or create an AIM one.
NOTE The @Mac.com Registration requires you link an active Email to the @Mac.com name.
THIS CANNOT BE an Email address you have used for an Apple ID already.
The AIM Registration asks for Email address for Security and Password Recovery and is not Hard Linked in the same way (you could use the same email to set up multiple accounts/Screen Names)
To state things another way:-
A MobileMe ID is an Email address.
It is an Apple ID and will work in those places it is supposed to, iTunes, Apple Support Communities (with Alias set up), Face Time (With Registration) Apple On-Line Store, Mac App Store.
It is a Vlaid AIM NAme as well (If the password is kept to 16 characters or less).
@mac.com names are Apple IDs with the same access as above.
It is a Valid AIM Screen Name.
If it was registered before MobileMe started it maybe linked to a Current MobileMe account as a valid Email.
A Current Registration is purposely for iChat use and Requires a Non Apple current Email that is NOT linked to any other Apple ID
Any other name or Email used to create an Apple ID is not an Email with/through Apple.
It is NOT a valid AIM screen Name.
It is only an Apple ID that allows access to the places listed above.
If it is an email this cannot be used to Register with @mac.com
I hope this is clear.

USB Camera does not work with iChat

Hello,
I'm having a terrible time getting my ToUcam Pro II to work with iChat. I downloaded the iUSBcam program. That didn't work. I downloaded the program Macam, and copied the proper file into the Quicktime Library (as suggested) and that didn't work. I downloaded IOXwebcam, and got an error stating that it wouldn't run due to the fact that it didn't have the proper security settings. Sigh.
So... what am I to do?
I'd like to buy a webcam that does, actually, work with my 8 month old Mac Pro 4 core mac desktop, but the iSight camera is ridiculously expensive. Any other suggestions would be appreciated.
Brad

An X-box 360 cam will do it although not in that list.
Anything that is USB 2.0 and marked UVC compliant or Vista Certified.
Be Aware some Mac Keyboards do not have USB 2.0 ports.

Problem with iChat changing my custom away message after 30 minutes

Lately, I've been having a big problem with iChat changing any custom away message that I put up to "Away" after 30 minutes or so. Is there anything I can do to make it stop? Another issue I'm having is that sometimes when people on my buddy list change their away message, it doesn't show up on iChat unless I go offline and then sign back on. Any idea why it's doing that, and what I can do to get it to stop?
Thanks.

Hi ienjoyanime,
Go to the General Section of iChat Preferences.
Does it say you are set to Go to Away when you log off/QUit iChat ?
is the computer going to Sleep at this point ?

How do I Get My Router to Work With iChat ? FAQ 2

Replaces iCh: FAQ 2 How to get my router to work with iChat?
Getting your router started with iChat.
Appropriate for using iChatAV 2 upwards
Glossary for this FAQ
Routers: Any configurable device that sits between your computer and the internet link you have.
Routers seem to fall into two categories
Those that work straight from the box. See Apple Doc 93333
NOTE
This Doc has not been updated since Jan 04
and those that do not.
This post will deal with what you may need to look at.
First off make sure your device is acting as a DHCP server. (if you are already on the internet you may not have to bother with this.)
Check in the Network Preference Pane, in the "Built in Ethernet" option from the "Show" drop down list.
Make sure the TCP/IP tab is the 'front' one. You should be able to see Configure IPv4 and it most likely reads Using DCHP. Make a note of your IP address. It will start 10.xxx.xxx.xxx or 192.168.xxx.xxx (the 'x' s will stand for any number between 1 and 255).
Your router is most likely to be configurable from your browser. You will need to find the IP address to type into the browser from any Readme or PDF files that came on the install disk or visit the makers website and download a manual.
DMZ Demilitarised Zone
This is a less secure setting that basically opens all ports and points the incoming data to your computer. (not helpful if you have more than one computer on your LAN)
NAT Sometimes called NAPT and related to Port Forwarding (also Virtual Server or Pin Holes)
These settings are usually found in an Advanced setting.
You will need to set an incoming IP address (Usually 0.0.0.0 for any outside server), a port that data will arrive on, the Inside computers IP address (your computer) and the port it will deal with the data on and the protocol it will use.
iChat uses TCP and UDP so some devices will need the settings done twice, once for each protocol.
See Apple Doc 93208 for more information.
Note:
Note 1 should read:
1. All iChat AV traffic is UDP except for ports 5190 and 5298, which need to be open for both TCP and UDP; and 5220, 5222, which need to be open for TCP only.
UPnP Universal Plug n Play.
This is a simple Plug and Play type of setting. iChat can find it's own way through a router if the device has this capability.
Trigger Ports
Some devices offer a security measure that works by a first or trigger port receiving a data packet and then opening further ports when accepted.
The first port for incoming Video or Audio invites is port 5678. When you click on the invite window the process moves to port 5060 (so these will need to be opened by the trigger port) for negotiating the final group of ports from the group of 20 (16384-16403 These will need to open when the trigger says so as well). Therefore port 5678 triggers ports 5678, 5060, 16384-16403. All on UDP. Port 5190 neeeds to trigger port 5190 for both TCP and UDP
Wireless
Here you will have to read around but this Apple Doc 58514 might be a good starting place.
Multiple devices
Make sure only one is acting as a DHCP server. Make sure wireless devices are bridged properly.

Integrate KDE notifications with Openbox?

Hi,
I'm using openbox with whole set of KDE programs (I prefer it this way over KDE with OB as WM).
Is there any way of integrating KDE notifications with OB to make it look neat?
Cheers
vi3dr0

What do you mean "integrating KDE notifications with OB" ?
If it's related to launching KDE applications from OB menu, you can have entries like that :
<menu id="apps-editors-menu" label="Editors">
<item label="Kwrite">
<action name="Execute">
<command>kwrite</command>
<startupnotify>
<enabled>yes</enabled>
</startupnotify>
</action>
</item>
</menu>
in your ~/.config/openbox/menu.xml
If it's something else, explain and give an example of what you want.

This post will deal with what you may need to look at.
First off make sure your device is acting as a DHCP server. (if you are already on the internet you may not have to bother with this.)
Check in the Tiger System Preferences > Network Preference Pane, in the "Built in Ethernet" option from the "Show" drop down list.
In Leopard the Networks are listed on the left with icons. The Airport Option will need you to access the Advance Button for the Next bit.
Make sure the TCP/IP tab is the 'front' one. You should be able to see Configure IPv4 and it most likely reads Using DCHP. Make a note of your IP address. It will start 10.xxx.xxx.xxx or 192.168.xxx.xxx (the 'x' s will stand for any number between 1 and 255). The range 172.16.xxx.xxx is also a possible value at this point.

The Port Forward.com site lists many devices and clicking on one will take you to a list of Applications. This iChat will open an page that will start by telling you the defaults to access the device
Opening or Allowing ports. Several Methods not all devices have all of them.
DMZ (Demilitarised Zone)
This is a less secure setting that basically opens all ports and points the incoming data to your computer. (not helpful if you have more than one computer on your LAN). It can be considered as an extreme form of Port Forwarding
Port Forwarding (also Virtual Server or Pin Holes)

See this pic for an example of the description above.
In this example shows that on some Port AND Protocols need to be listed.
iChat uses TCP and UDP so some devices will need the ports listed one by one and some settings done twice, once for each protocol. The example above has a "Both" setting
See Apple Article HT1507 Previously Doc 93208 for more information. This is the Tiger iChat 3 list. The same ports are needed for Leopard except for these changes
My Note 2:
On the first link Note 1 under tables in that link would be better if it read:
" 1. All iChat AV traffic is UDP -
except for ports 5190 and 5298, which need to be open for both TCP as well;
and 5220, 5222, which need to be open for TCP only. "
Note 2
GoggleTalk needs port 5223 on TCP. Also note the Server name for iChat 3 set ups
UPnP Universal Plug n Play.
This is a simple Plug and Play type of setting. iChat can find it's own way through a router if the device has this capability.
By Not doing Port Forwarding, Triggering or DMZ and enabling UPnP the application is allowed to control the modem and the ports that are open.
They close after the application has finished with them on a timed basis.
On some devices the number of "hops" (how far away the UPnP can be "seen") can be reduced from a default of 4)
Trigger Ports
Some devices offer a security measure that works by a first or trigger port receiving a data packet and then opening further ports when accepted.
The first port for incoming Video or Audio invites is port 5678.
Pre iChat 4
When you click on the invite window the process moves in to port 5060 (so these will need to be opened by the trigger port) for negotiating the final group of ports from the group of 20 (16384-16403 These will need to open when the trigger says so as well). Therefore port 5678 triggers ports 5678, 5060, 16384-16403. All on UDP. Port 5190 neeeds to trigger port 5190 for both TCP and UDP.
See this variation where only the ports listed above are completed.
The other single ports need to be set one by one in addition. (5220,5222, 5223 5297, 5298, 5353)Replace
iChat 4
The port used in IChat 4 is port 16402 instead of port 5060. The group of 20 ports is reduced to 10 (16393-16402). This is because all the In and Out Audio and Video data is on one port. Other that than the settings are the same.
At this time there is no Info on the ports the Screen Sharing in iChat 4 uses.
Wireless
Here you will have to read around but this Apple Article TA25949 Previously Doc 58514 might be a good starting place.
Essentially whether you are wireless or Ethernet to your routing device makes very little difference to the way you do things.
Your computer will get two IPs from a DHCP server if you are connected by both methods. (iChat does not like this)
Multiple devices
Make sure only one is acting as a DHCP server. Make sure wireless devices are bridged properly.

Not able to start any outside contact with iChat : please help !

Hello there,
I will try to cut my long story short : I am from Belgium and presently in Kosovo for a several months mission over there. I was really looking forward to use Apple iChat to stay in contact with my family and kids back home .... but it's not working !
I know there are other solutions eventually but anyway I'd like to understand what's the problem with iChat.
I came first with my Powerbook G4 1,5 Ghz + 1,2 Gb RAM + IceCam + OS 10.4 and "old" iChat on it : not working at all : it would keep saying "not enough bandwidth" for every sort of connection attempts (video, audio only) only text chat was working. I had read that there were lots of problems with this version, so I purchased LEOPARD to have the newest version available and upgraded my internet connection here in Kosovo to a 8 Mbps one !
Unfortunately I crashed my computer with the upgrade process ... anyway, the "advantage" is that I start now from a "clean" copy of Leopard and iChat .... but it isn't working neither ?
Now the message is slightly different though.
You see it's "trying" to get through (takes a little more time to issue the error message ....?) and it states now "connection closed because didn't get any answer for 10 seconds" (I translate the message because my system is in french in fact).
I have copied the details of the error message but can you tell me which part is important, not to paste 3 pages of unuseful text to this post maybe ?
It would be very kind of you if you could help me figure this out because I cannot think of a reason why "we" shouldn't get this to work, right ?
Furthermore, it would help a poor Mac user to stay in touch with his family "back home" !
Thanks in advance.

This is a "paste" of one of the error logs : they basically all say the same thing I guess.
If needed (following a suggestion for example) I could try to come in contact with the support helpline of the company (although it's Kosovo ....) to try to "fix" or answer any technical question you should have without any other mean for an answer than "ask" ....
By the way, my wife "at the other side" in Belgium is behind my PowerMac G5 dualcore with same configuration (Leopard, latest iChat etc.).

RE: Can't get vid to work with ichat

Yesterday my vid and sound worked with ichat and now only my sound. It's frustrating because they both still work on quicktime. I am using a logitech 9000 as my camera. Anyone else have the same problem? Thanks, George

Hi
First have you set the Quicktime streaming setting, goto sys prefs/quicktime/streaming/streaming speed, set to 1.5mbps
In ichats prefs click on video and change bandwidth limit to 500.
Restart iChat.

.Mac Account Not working with iChat AV

Hi,
I'm having trouble using iChat AV 2.1 (v153) under OSX 10.3.9. I can not use my AppleID to log into AIM, so I am limited to chats with users on the local network whom I discover via rendezvous/bonjour.
The whole story is related below. Deleting com.apple.iChat.AIM.plist doesn't help.
Thanks for your help.

Chance Reschke
I am able to access the MyInfo page with my .Mac password:
https://myinfo.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyInfo.woa......
But, I decide to change my .Mac password anyway to try to fix the iChat problem.
Visit the .Mac account page:
https://www.mac.com/WebObjects/Account.woa?aff=consumer&cty=US&lang=en
and click on the "Forgot your password?" link. Indicate that I want to reset my password via email, and the web page indicates that the info I need was sent to [email protected], which is strange and useless.
So, I try again: click on "Forgot your password?" link, then on the "Forget your Apple ID?" link. Fill in my info, including my valid email address, and the web page indicates that it has sent the info I need. Check my email, and presto! there's a link to follow to change
my password.
I click on the link. Get a web page where I enter a new password twice, which it accepts, followed by a web page that says:
Your Apple ID password has been changed.
Select the "continue" button below to return to .Mac
Login or choose
from the list at right.
with a big green "Continue" button. I click the button and get the "Rejoin .Mac" page:
http://www.mac.com/WebObjects/Welcome.woa?aff=consumer&cty=US&lang=en
I also get an email message telling me my password has been changed and I'm set to log in. It also tells me to report any problems to:
http://survey.info.apple.com/feedback/appleid.html
I don't want to Rejoin .Mac, which I have to pay for and which provides a bunch of services I don't need - I just want the minimal functionality required to get iChat to work.
So, I restart iChatAV. It immediately opens a window that says:
AOL Instant Messenger Login
Please enter your login ID and password for the AOL
Instant Messenger service.
with my login ID already filled in - [email protected] - and the password field blank. I fill in the password field with the password I just used the .Mac account management page to reset, and IT IS REJECTED. I try a few times - all rejected. I eventually click on the cancel button and I'm back to where I was - limited to Rendezvous/Bonjour chats.
I am still able to access the MyInfo page with my .Mac user ID and (new) password.
I've been through this several times with the same outcome each time.

Thanks for responding.
My password is eight characters long. [disclosure, the problem's I've been reporting are with my wife's account - so "My" = my wife's]
I don't have access to the 10.3 machine right now, but I've reproduced the problem with iChat 3.0.1 (v392) under 10.4.2.
I select Preferences from the main iChat pull down menu. I then select Accounts, and click on the "+" to add a new account. I click in the "Use this account" check box. I select .Mac as the Account Type. In the Description field, I enter "Chance's Account". In the .Mac Name field, I enter my .Mac username and "@mac.com" is automatically appended with no way to delete it. I enter my .Mac password in the Password field.
I then select Log In to AIM from the main iChat pull down menu, and, instead of simply logging me in as happens with my account (as opposed to my wife's, which is the problem account we;re discussing), I get a pop up menu "AOL Instant Messenger Login" prompting me to enter the password for the account [email protected]
It doesn't help to delete the "@mac.com" part. It doesn't help to check the "Allow multiple logins for this account" in iChat preferences.
I am sooooo sick of this!

External iSight cam not working with iChat

I've got an external iSight cam that was working fine in 10.5.8 with iChat - I'm using 10.6.1 now. Now when I open iChat, the camera stays off (no green light) and iChat video preview says that another application is using the camera so it's not available, which of course, is not true.
I've tried everything I know, but can't get it to work. The camera works with Skype, so I know it's functioning properly.
When I checked the Connection Doctor, under Network, it says that there's something in my network setup that is preventing video chats, but I haven't changed anything since upgrading to SL. I have a direct ethernet cable to my DSL modem/router - Covad. My wife's iChat works fine with her new LogiTech camera, and she's on the same home network/router.

Opps,
My head read that as MacBook Pro. Sorry.
Try Restarting the computer whilst Holding done the Apple (CMD)+ALT (OPTION)PR Keys until you have heard three start up Bongs.
Chax is an iChat Add-on.
Different version have done different things in the different iChat Versions.
There is only a Alpha test version of the one for Snow Leopard.
The iChat 4 version does not work in Snow Leopard/iChat 5 and that was why I was asking.

What type of external webcam works with iChat?

Is there a certain type of external webcam that works with iChat or can any webcam do the job?

Logitech Quickcam Vision pro for the Mac was recently released and I am using it with G5 QUAD and OS X 10.5.4 without problems. It is quite expensive compared to other cameras but it has a Zeiss lens and I think a much better picture. Works with evocam also. (evocam is a shareware program to do time lapse photos, or motion sensor movies and webcam stuff). I'm very happy with it.
hth,
vince

PC Webcam works with iChat and iSight

Before I purchase a web cam for my PC I need to know if it will work with iChat and iSight. Will I need to install any third party software for my mac or PC?

Hi Gene,
You will need to make a choice between AIM and Trillian
The AIM app is free but does not Audio only Chat to iChat users and has a very small pic.
Trillian costs $25 for the Pro version to Video chat but has a Bigger pic and can do full screen. The Basic version can alos Audio only chat to iChat users. Trillian can also join other IM services.
More info on setting up AIM on the PC http://www.ralphjohnsuk.dsl.pipex.com/page12.html and the XP Service Pack 2 firewall. The Firewall will need to have Trillain enabled though it as well if you use that.
Ralph

Since I installed Lion, I can't get online with ichat - shows ichat as offline or disconnected when I open the app.

Hi,
Also try turning Off Face Time
Open Face Time
Go to the Preferences
Set it to Off.
Also make sure your router has the Time and Date/Time Zone set as this upsets Face Time which in turn upsets IChat

Routers that work with iChat AV?

Since Apple's list of approved routers hasn't been updated for years, I would love to hear from anyone who has purchased a router recently that works with iChat for audio/video, including any special setting changes/tips. Could anyone with a success story post here? I'm tired of the error 8 messages which in at least some cases seems to be router related.

@stevesol
I have used the DI-604 for about 5 years now. It is a great and cheap router/firewall. The only problem that I have ever had was an odd one. I have a mac pro. i have an external amp that I use for playing my music through. I had a cable run from the rear audio out to the amp. After the last firmware update (mac pro EFI firmware update 1.1) I could not use ichat anymore. If I bypassed the router and went straight to the modem then all was fine. It turned out that there was a major conflict with my setup using the router and rear audio out port but if i used the front headphone jack everything was fine. Other than that the DI-604 is very good. I open port 5190 on the router and have good results. If you are not sure how to open up ports then check out this site. It shows to open up a whole pile of ports but the 5190 port works fine for me.

I would also recommend this fine site from one of the other posters. Ralph Johns site is excellent
http://www.ralphjohnsuk.dsl.pipex.com/page2.html
and of course what Apple has to say about their firewall

Kde kopete with ichat
