MSN is working with iChat but can't video chat?
I used psi to make a jabber account and added an MSN transport, so i can open MSN with iChat. Its pretty cool, but my biggest problem is video chat. Is it possible to video and voice chat with my friends who have a webcam and are using them on MSN on a PC? If it isn't I really regret buying two macs.=[
Which Jabber server did you use? Any free and reliable free server?

Ichat works with macs, but can't send/accept invites with pcs
bear with me, still a newbie/read discussions, this is my 1st post. audio ichat ok with mac friend, but ichat menu options won't allow invite audio or video chat with sister using pc, even though i downloaded aim 6.7 in addition to ichat. i have road runner and digital videocam with firewire, sister has comcast with logitech quickcam, she was able to ichat with mac friends. i've read ichat help & discussions, contacted applecare & roadrunner & aol, no luck...
1) should i uninstall aim6.7?
2) ichat preference shows camera/mic/bandwidth/but no port option, need to open port 443 with firewall on? how? where?
3) what info is my query missing?
4) i'll upgrade to 10.5 + airport express + 20"display soon, will that cause other issues?
5) is this a repair permissions issue somehow? i've pulled tips on weekly maintenance. my entire family is waiting, i'm at a complete loss...please help.
thanks, teta bepahowdy steve,
good news first. ichat worked a-ok with my mac friend. i have os10.3.9, ichat av2.1.3, panasonic digvidcam w/ firewire. mac friend has os10.4.1, ichat av3.1.8, imace w/ isight. simple as pie, no problem to start ichat, good sound and video, couldn't have been easier. connection doctor info looked fine too, video and audio at 100%. yippee!
this mac friend had previously been able to ichat with my pc sister, not perfect, but they certainly made contact for videochat. as for my contact w/ pc sister, i'm still trying and hoping...
pc sister upgraded her aim to version 6.5.4.16, via comcast.net by the way. i also told her to allow aim6.exe exception in firewall, and directed her to ralphjohnsuk info too. we both shut off our firewalls, as had my mac friend. FINALLY in my buddy menu options, i was able to send videochat invite to my sister. ichat said "sending invite" and "starting videochat" but that's as far as it got. at least the connection doctor did not mention "no response" or failed or anything like that, connection doctor just seemed to wait for audio/video info.
what do you think is going on? it seems we're very close to actual videochat. at least my mac is getting fewer error messages, it's waiting for videochat to start. the even bigger mystery is...how could my mac friend have previously gotten videochat w/ my pc sister, but nothing now?
now we 3 are at wit's end as to how to loop in my pc sister. i truly appreciate any insight you may offer. thanks for your time and expertise. take care.
teta bepa
(by the way, i'm upgrading to os10.5 and will attempt videochat when i'm wireless w/ airport.) -
My computer / iTunes is set up correctly for wireless (account info. all good), and emial is synched wirelessly. BUT not photos / videos or songs. I seem to have to plug my iPhone into my computer for iTunes to recognize my device. Shouldn't iTunes recognize my iphone wirelessly? For example, I have read that "device" should show up in menu bar on iTunes but it doesn't unless I'm cabled in.
Also, when I go to my iPhone to "synch wirelessly with iTunes", the button / tab doesn't light up for me to chose and tells me will synch when "smith - laptop" is available.....
This is my first iPhone, and just got it so may be user error.....
thanksDid you build Elsa with this package from AUR: elsa-svn-arch
The way your elsa.conf looks like indicates to me that you have not.
Please use the package because you are also missing pam-files. -
Cant make but can accept video chats HELP ME PLEASE!!!
Hi im having trouble making a isight chat. It only works if i recive one. If i make one it just gives the other person a eror message when they accept.
H E L P M E I T S U R G E N T ! ! ! !!
I TRIED EVERYTHING!!!You're welcome Jason,
Thanks for the new info. No problem about the mistake, just understand that the only things we know about you is what YOU tell us. That is why I asked.
Your reply 4) in msg # 3.1.1.1.1 lets me agree that your ISP CANNOT be your sole problem. BTW, if you are using Fastweb in Italy, some users report problems connecting with any but other Fastweb users.
You are still writing about your symptoms. You MUST find and fix the
b problems
that cause your symptoms. You can either try EVERYTHING, which can take a long time, or use trouble shooting techniques to identify problems. Then you can concentrate on the problems ONLY.
Trouble shooting connections requires testing. If your buddies do not want to help you and each other do the required testing, you may be more interested in video than they are. You can still get YOUR video working by testing with some of the testers identified in the Want to Test your iSight With Another Person? FAQ.
If you do not want to do the work required for testing, here are the best alternative suggestions I can offer for your consideration.
-Perhaps you and your buddies are willing to try some of the other already-provided suggestions in hopes one of them corrects your symptoms.
-Perhaps pmiles' "Possible PC chat solution" thread suggestions will help you.
-Perhaps you want to try a PC to use for connecting to your PC buddies.
-Perhaps you are willing to forego video. Several users report that Skype requires little configuration effort for successful audio connections.
Those are the best suggestions I have. Althought I do not use a PC, if you try some changes, I am always happy to test whenever you see my green (Available) status in your Buddy List.)
Also, if your trouble shooting leads you to some more specific questions, we will be happy to provide more focused answers.
Cheers and good luck.

Can't get msn or hotmail with firefox but can with explorer,always used firefox before-what's up?
started in safe mode but still can not get msn or my hotmail, just comes up with a blank page.Removed all cookies and cache and all add-ons are off. Removed foxfire and reinstalled to no avail. Have done everything all can think of but no way it will work yet if I go to Explorers the damn thing works.Any ideas?????
Sorry you are having problems.
Both sites work ok for me using Firefox. That comment may not make you feel good but along with the fact that both sites work for you on IE it does tend to point to something rather specific on your computer affecting firefox.
I do notice quite a few questions recently about this. In many cases clearing the cache or just a Ctrl+F5 reload will help, along with clearing the cookies for that site.
*you will already have seen [[Delete cookies to remove the information websites have stored on your computer#w_delete-cookies-for-a-single-site ]]_delete-cookies-for-a-single-site
I suppose malware could be the cause as this reply said [/questions/944943#answer-413484] and for a other troubleshooting advice please have a look at suggestions in this short [/questions/952206 thread]
Something you should try as an elimination step is booting with the F8 key into Windows Safe Mode with network support

New Shuffle won't work with itunes, but can't download newest version.
I just got a new shuffle and when I plug it into my computer it tells me I need Itunes version 10. When I try to install Itunes version 10 it says 'Couldn't open "Install iTunes.pkg". This package type requires Mac OS X 10.5'. What do I need to do to get everything working?
Yeah, I just bought an iPod Shuffle and have run into this same issue. I don't want to upgrade to iTunes 10 because I did so on my work computer and am dealing with a headache of an issue with it (sort of off-topic, but it's doing that rapid flashing thing when loading in a CD, ultimately not recognizing it or letting me download the songs, unless I turn off the feature that downloads the song titles automatically, which is fairly important to me). I did some searching around here and found it's a common issue with no solution at the moment. I definitely don't want to deal with that on my personal computer, so I've stuck with iTunes 9. But now that means I can't use the Shuffle I just purchased. How frustrating. Any solution?

Can text chat, but can't video chat
Hello-
My ichat/isight use to work just fine. I haven't changed any settings as far as I know (unless I did something inadvertently) and suddenly now I can continue to text message but I can't get the camera to connect. I send an invitation to video and once the person on the other ends accepts we each get errors saying that the video failed because the other person did not respond.
Please any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
jessica

IChat AV can't video chat through school's proxy
I'm studying abroad in Ireland and we connect to their network through VPN. I'm using iChat AV 3.1.9 on OS 10.4.11. I changed all the proxy stuff and switched to port 443 and can use iChat for text, but video and audio fail to connect. The IT people here are useless and I'm out of ideas. Any suggestions? I can't get Skype to connect either, so if anyone knows how to fix that it would also be fabulous.
Below is my error report. Not sure what any of this means but if it can help out at all?

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.

Does the new AIM Triton work with Ichat?
Hi,
Does anyone know if the new AIM Triton works with Ichat AV? I know the Beta version was not working but don't know about the new triton release.
Also, has anyone tried video/audio communication between Trillian and Ichat? Does it work? Is it better than AIM?
Thanks,
StefanoI have been working with the Triton on a PC and after much research (frustration), I have found this stated on the AIM support site:
http://www.aim.com/helpfaq/startingout/getstarted.adp?aolp=#six
Q: Is AIM Triton compatible with AIM 5.9, AOL 9.0 and iChat?
A: : AIM Triton works seamlessly with AIM 5.9, AOL 9.0 and iChat. You can send and receive instant messages with your buddies using any of these clients. Certain features may not work across all clients at this time. Voice Chat with more than two people only works with other Triton users. Video Chat will work only between two Triton users at this time.
So after reading around, I believe the 5.9 will video to the iChat 3's but I haven't had the time to try. Other posts suggest this to be true. Including many by Ralph. -
Why won't my iSight webcam work with iChat?
I have an iSight webcam and a Power Mac G5. I can't get the iSight to work with iChat, but it works with Yahoo Messenger, although the image is choppy. I have cable internet access, and I am connected to a wireless router (though not wirelessly, but with an ethernet cable). Is the router somehow interfering with iChat and the iSight camera?
Hi Tim,
On a slightly different note does the iChat Open ?
If you click on the green Video icon next to your own Buddy pic at the top of the Buddy List do you see your Preview ?
DO you have any Buddies yet ?
Try Table 1 first after doing what Defcom says

Can't video chat with vista user.......
Hi- today my sis and I tried to video chat. She had a computer guru there to try and get it to work but it seems as though that since she got a new HP computer with Vista, we can't video chat. The guru asked me to download Messenger Live ID which I did but then it said I needed to download Qwest Messenger and the link to it didn't work. So then he asked I download CamFrog. Got it installed. I could see and hear them but they couldn't see or hear me. I even disabled the firewall and my WEP protection- the guru says the issue of not being able to see or hear me is a problem at my end. I enabled the microphone too. I saw that it was registering when I talked. So is the problem at my end or theirs? I am hoping it's not at my end but I said that I would check the Apple Discussions forum to see what could be going on. My husband and I can video chat- he on his MacBook, me on my MBP. Anyway, I would really, really appreciate any help. I have downloaded Skype and am willing to give that a try- just gotta convince my sis to download it too. Thanks in advance for the help, Judy

Apple says Reminders works with Outlook, but I can't find where the lists are displayed in Office or Outlook once they are synced. Any suggestions?
I'll guess you've already discovered the answer to this, but just in case:
Reminders works with Outlook tasks by syncing with iCloud, or through Exchange. You can't sync iOS Reminders with Outlook Tasks via USB/iTunes (like you can do with Notes, Calendar, Contacts).
So the marketing material on Reminders is a little misleading in that it's not specific enough -- there is no syncing without one of those intermediary systems mentioned above.
On a side note, syncing Tasks/Reminders via iCloud is not very good in my opinion:
Requires that you sync to the cloud, even if you have no other use for storing personal data in the cloud.
Requires that the iCloud Control Panel be installed on your PC (not sure about Mac).
After syncing, you'll find new Calendar and Task groups called "iCloud" have been created in Outlook. The calendar groups appear to be created even if you're only syncing Tasks/Remminders (not sure why).
Reminders are stored in the new group (noted above) called "iCloud" rather than in your default Tasks group. This seems to me to be a sort of "parallel" sync, rather than a true sync with Outlook. There are oter implications of your synced tasks being in the new group that I won't go into here, but you can search the interwebs to learn more.
In my own case, I tried iCloud syncing, decided that I didn't like it for the reasons stated above, and then uninstalled (Control Panel and new Outlook groups) with no apparent ill effects.
Though I don't guarantee you'll have the same results, it might be worth a try to see if it suits your purposes.
