Mac/PC cam chat?

I have a PC and my friend has a new Powerbook. Are there any chat programs out there such as Windows Live or iChat that we can use to have video conversations with each other?

Have a look at the AIM box on the right side of this page on Apple's website <http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/ichat/>.

My 2012 Mac Mini came with a SSD and with Yosemite, can I add a SSHD and also migrate everything from a Macbook Pro that is running Lion 10.7.5?

Hi Apple Community,
Today I received a refurbished 2012 i5 Mac Mini that I purchased via Amazon. The Mac Mini came with a 256gb Samsung SSD only installed. The Mac Mini also has 10.10.2 Yosemite.
I am planing on ordering an "OWC Data Doubler Mounting Kit" to add another drive onto the Mac Mini.
(http://eshop.macsales.com/item/OWC/DIYIMM11D2/)
I also plan on getting a second drive which would be a 1tb SSHD Black Western Digital (16GB SSD) 2.5 SATA III (6.0GB/s) 5400RPM drive.
Now here is where I am a very confused and concerned. What I essentially want to do is use Migration Assistant to completely migrate what I have on a 2012 i7 Macbook Pro's 750gb HDD to the Mac Mini's 1tb SSHD drive. I want every file and setting to be placed on my new Mac Mini just the way it is on the Macbook Pro. The Macbook Pro is however using 10.7.5 Lion while my new Mac Mini is using 10.10.2 Yosemite.
What makes me confused is, if I migrate everything from the Macbook Pro onto the 1tb SSHD, would I still be able to benefit by having the 256gb Samsung SSD in the Mac Mini? For instance, would the Mac Mini still be able to boot up super fast and use the SSD to write and read programs very fast? Or is it because I am migrating everything from my Macbook Pro's HDD onto the Mac Mini's 1tb SSHD, my Mac Mini will not be able to use the speed benefits of the SSD?
Another concern is, will I be able to use Yosemite or will I be stuck with 10.7.5 Lion? I would only like Yosemite. I do not mine if Lion is removed from my new Mac Mini.

UPDATE:
Hi again,
I made more research on raid and now I am considering not to raid at all.
Raid0 seems extremely risky because I do not know how the SSD and SSHD would react together.
And Raid1 seems like it would not be able to function the way I would like to store my files. [The SSD is 256gb and SSHD is 1tb, there is no point in raid1]
I think I will just have to add the second drive and use it without raid. I will mostly save media files such as movies, pictures, and music. And for everything else, save it onto the SSD's storage.

Yes. You will have to reformat it with the disk utility though.

Webcam not working for Macbook Air 2013 after upgrading to OSX Mavericks? Yahoo/ Google/Skype cam chats not working. Facetime works though. Any updates of Mavericks released to fix this?

I have a MacBook Pro Retina display: 15.4-inch late 2015 with OS X Mavericks install, only on second week.
Insight works on FaceTime, Skype, but yahoo program does not show insight cam in dropped down.
Now when I got my new MacBook Pro, I down loaded all new Skype (worked tested), FaceTime (Worked Tested), Yahoo (not worked)
Fix:
With the new Maverick you have to use there messager program Version 8.0 (4218). Once I add my yahoo account video works again.
It also supported AOL, AIM, Google Talk, Jabber.
Guess I miss it frist time... hope this helps...

Mac mini camera issue

Hi, Just trying to get a mic camera combo to work on the mini. Any cameras that definitely work? I have 3 that don't. Mic is the problem.

We've used the Logitech Quickcam Vision Pro for Mac, with camera and mike that works fine. We bought it in 2010, so it may not be available new today (although maybe thru ebay, amazon, or others that still have stock). If I was buying new I would consider the appropriate Logitech version that they sell for macs now, too.

Unable to upload photo to Mac from Camera

Camera is Canon SX160 IS; cannot upload photos to Mac from camera. "Connection of software for another Canon camera, etc.". Yale

Hi Mfyss!
So that the Community can help you better, we will need to know the computer operating system you're using (Windows XP/Vista/7/8 or Mac 10.x). Any error messages or other details you'd like to give will also help the Community better understand your issue.
Thanks and have a great day!

Display is using my Mac's camera... not its own!

So I've got a new 24" LED cinema display and everything is connected properly. However, for some reason, whenever I go to use the iSight camera, it uses my Mac's camera instead of the display's! The USB cord is connected and everything! Ideas? Thanks.

In ichat go into preferences, then go to camera. You will be able to change which camera you want to view (either display or macbook pro). For photo both just click the camera in the menu bar. You will have the same choices as ichat. If neither of these show up restart your computer while being plugged into the your screen.
Hello, Tylko
For clarity to OP and other readers, I offer the following regarding this part of your suggestion:
For photo both ... You will have the same choices as ichat.
That is not true on my Mac.
My Photo Booth ONLY uses the first connected camera it recognizes that is not already in use. Clicking the camera in the my Photo Booth menu bar when multiple cameras are connected results in NO DIFFERENCE from the same action when only one camera is detected.
Even when multiple cameras that work properly with other apps are connected, Photo Booth does not allow a camera choice on my PowerMac G5 no matter where I click.
While it is true that iChat offers a choice of cameras, if what you post is true, there is a major difference between your Photo Booth for iNtel Mac and the Photo Booth that runs on my PowerPC Mac.

Unsigned Drivers for Live! Cam Chat HD

I just bought this product today. When trying to install through the Creative Live! Cam Chat HD Starter Pack (Lite version), Windows 7 SP 1 sends up an error stating that the drivers are not signed and therefore cannot be used. After install, the live app does not see the camera. The Device driver notes that the following two drivers appear not to be signed:
CtClsFlt.sys
ksthunk.sys
Any ideas?

Did you RTFM? Sorry couldn't resist. So firstly, don't plug the camera in until directed by the setup program. This is a general rule of thumb for any USB device. Also Are you logged in as an Administrator? just to make double sure right click the setup programs icon and click run as administrator. You could even disable UAC for a few minutes if that still didnt work. Also you should be able to install unsigned drivers no problem unless you are on a work system with a policy in place forbidding this ability. In which case you probably aren't an admin in the first place. If you are not comfortable with any of the options I described go find a school aged male and any one of them should get ya up and running in 5 mins ;-) Sorry couldn't resist again.

Help!! - Live Web Cam Chat in a Captivate E-Learning Session

I really hope someone can help me with this one. I am doing an elearning session in Adobe Captivate which needs to contain a live web cam chat. I was thinking about creating a flash video to record the live web cam chat but have no idea how to do it. Unfortunately this is one skill that I haven't had the opportunity to learn and have never had to do this before. Its very new and sophisicated for me!!!!
Please help someone!!!
Many thanks
Lisa

Hi Lisa
Okay. Gotcha!
For starters, you won't want to use Captivate to capture the Web Chat. I recently tried some full motion using Captivate 4 and it's seldom going to give you anything remotely close to what you want. So you will need to investigate some other software to capture the Web Cam stuff.
Perhaps investigate another Adobe product called Visual Communicator.
Once you get something that is able to capture the Web Cam, it needs to spit back out a file in FLV or SWF output. You would then drop the FLV into Captivate. (Or present it in a frame on a web page).
Hopefully this helps a smidge.
Happy Friday! Rick

Web cam chat with face time

Can u use face time to web cam chat with wifi?

Not unless the person with whom your chatting is using Facetime.
Apple has made the code running Facetime open sourse, so hopefully developers will develop applications that can take advantage of the technology.

Which Mac OS came with each iMac?

Wondering if there is a way to determine exactly which Mac OS came with one of my older iMacs (7,1 Intel Core 2 Duo)
Or for any other Mac released within the past several years.
With 5 Macs here, I find that I am a bit confused about which disk came with which machine.
Thanks

Gah! Another Mac -- PC Video Chat question

Diagnosing the following:
A = AIM 6.8, Windows XP
B = iChat 4.0.5 (608)
C = iChat 4.0.7
A <--> B no problems video chat
B <--> C " "
A <--> C argh!
No connection can be established between A & C. As a quick work-around, C downloaded AIM 6.8 for PC onto a virtual PC (is that what it's called when a Mac runs Windows?). Then, A --> C video & audio, and A <-- C audio only, no video.
A downloaded AIM 5.9. Still no connection established with C.
Thanks in advance for your assistance.

HI,
EZ Jim (Another Level 4) once ran a Blog on iSight of which I now have a copy and keep somewhat updated.
The Page on this topic is Here
It contains the Quote that is linked to Above (In the "Welcome to Apple Discussions" post)
The whole page dates back to iChat 2 and using AIM 5.5 and AIM 5.9 in some cases.
At one time EZ Jim and I were answering a lot of Posts with "What If your Girlfriend Lives a Long Way Away" sorts of Questions.
This page contains two posts that have been somewhat edited to show Updates.
The first is from EZ Jim and covers all the things that should be done (although somewhat from an iChat 3ish starting point to AIM 5.9(ish) on XP)
The Second post is by another former Regular Poster, James A.Weston who posted on how to allow non Microsoft apps through the then new XP Service Pack 2 Firewall.
It now contains updates to refer to AIM 6.x
I run XP in Boot Camp.
I have a version of AIM for PCs at version 6.1
For me this works.
For my view point the AIM site then brought out AIM 6.5 next.
In the first link the EZ Jim page contains link to a site that you can download older versions of AIM for the PC from.
I have not tried some of these others.
Some I have not even seen posts here about either so I am not sure all were on General Release.
The Summary so far is.
Vista can only install an Version of AIM that uses the Real Time Codecs (AIM 6.5 and AIM 6.8 as far as we can tell)
The Real Time Codecs will not allow these versions of AIM to Video chat with Older versions of AIM (5.5 and 5.9 for certain) - or iChat on a Mac or Trillian (An AIM client for PCs) that all use the same or compatible codecs from the AIM 5.5 to AIM 5.9 (iChat 2,3 and 4)
Other Options.
This pages state a list of apps subdivided into various groups based on function.
Other Applictaions
The Panel on the left lists the items/apps
The Panel on the right give a bit more info
For Example 1-3 are text based only Third Party IM apps that in some case have Multiple service capabilities
4 Is AIM for Mac on its Own
5 through 8 are other apps that can video and need both ends to get their own Versions (Cross Platform Apps)
9 through 12 are Web browser base sites that do Video Chat by Allowing Flash access to the Camera (It is effectively a Cross Platform Solution)
13 Specifically mentions Trillian as an Alternative to PC users.
I have not heard whether this can be installed on Vista.
Triilian does for PC users what AdiumX and ProteusX do for Macs but does Video chats with the various services as well. (although not cross service chats (MSN to Jabber say) )
14 and 15 are the closest anyone has got to doing Video (No Audio) to an MSN Buddy.
Summary of Other Options.
It is a question of Cross Platform Apps or Web browser based options.
(Unfortunately NOT iChat)
In some areas of this I do not yet have complete info about things like Trillian on Vista for example.
Notes.
My G4/1Ghz Dual processor was bought in 2001 an came with Jaguar and OS 9 Installed.
It is currently running Leopard at 10.5.6
It will and does run PhotoShop CS.
This length of life it not likely to be found on PCs and therefore AIM may not have any real plans to get AIM 6.8+ to work with the Older versions of AIM, despite what the "What do I need for Real Time" message says.
So, Yes, I have some Info on this.
I hope this summary of what it contains helps

Cannot install updates for CS5 photoshop on Mac, including Camera Raw 6.7

I have been trying to use the update function on CS5 so that I can update Photoshop and Camera Raw so that I can work with RAW files from my camera.

I am using a Mac Pro (from mid 2010) and have already updated to OS X Yosemite. Grateful for any help anyone can provide!
