Showing My iSight To a PC With AIM

Hi all,
I just got my iSight today, I'm trying to let another user view my webcam by sending a one way video invitiation, but every time I send it (it doesn't matter which user I send it to, I get the same response every single time regardless of who I am trying to chat with) the iSight immediately says that the user cancelled the request. It happens way too fast for them to have actually done it, and they all say they didn't even see a dialogue box prompting them to accept my invitation. I'm in desperate need to get the iSight working this evening so any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much.

... help me with that specific error message ...As a user like you, I have no better understanding of the true meaning of the user cancelled the request... error message than you do, but I think iChat AV 3 sometimes applies it spuriously. However, which error message you are getting seems less important to me, than the fact that you cannot connect.
Reading through the articles may be different than trying the suggestions. If I understand your initial question properly, your problem sounds very strange.
Do you really have problems with EVERY one-way video, whether to a Mac or to a PC? Have you really tested with several others?
Can you text chat with anyone? Audio with anyone? Video with anyone? Ever?
Have you recently performed your regular Mac OS X maintenance?
Have you followed the suggestions already made to run wired directly from your Modem to your Mac with no other connected devices until you make this work? (Using iSight with iChat AV)
Does the PC have adequate broadband speed and a working, "tuned," microphone? Have you tried the suggestions already made to add a PC webcam to the PC side to see if video will work then? (Mac Video Chat with PCs)

Isight works...just not with AIM

My isight (MBP) works, just not with AIM. This problem just recently started happening. I do not even see the Camera icon on my buddy list.
When I restart in safe mode, I know longer have the problem. But when I start my comp up with a regular boot the problem reappears.
Any help would be greatly appreciated

iChat works better in both iChat 3 (Tiger) and iChat 4 (Leopard) if the System Preferences > Quicktime > Streaming Settings are set to 1.5Mbps and Not Automatic.
In Tiger iChat 3 reads the Automatic Setting as a Zero.
In Leopard this setting is now read as only 384k which will allow you to Video chat and is also the lowest Spec setting Apple states a 3 and 4 way chat can happen but will cap what Bandwidth/Connection speed you have.
If we are talking form iChat TO AIM (6.5 or above) then you should read this doc by AIM on their Real Time Protocol (read th paragraph under the pics.)

ISight with AIM??

I looked but couldnt find any topics about this. I am trying to connect isight with aim and it will not recognize isight.. anyone know how i can fix this???
thanks

Hi
Welcome to the  Discussions
Open the Connection Doctor in the Video menu
In the Capabilities Option does it suggest you are "too Slow" for some functions ?
If so then go to System Preferences > Quicktime > Streaming tab and change the speed to 1.5MBps and Restart iChat.

Three-way video conference MAC with AIM

Are you able to do a three-way video conference with 2 users with AIM accounts with one who has MAC accounts?
The person with the MAC account shows up not stacked to indicate multi-video conference.
Just Wondering

Hi DB in NB,
It depends on...
Are they all using iChat 3
Do they have an Internet connection in excess of 384kbps both up and down ?
(there are some variants if the download is quicker that will allow you to have 256K up)
Do they have a Mac over a G4/1Ghz single processor
Is the one to be the Host a G4/1Gz Dual or greater ?
If they all fill this criteria and one does not show stacked icons then it needs some maintenance.
They should make sure the System Preferences > Quicktime > Streaming tab is set to 1.5Mbps
They should run the Cron scripts if they are not sure

Cannot ichat with AIM triton users

I just got my isight yesturday, but I haven't been able to video chat with anyone with AIM triton! I've tried mercury, aMSN, yahoo messenger.. and I'm pretty frustrated! Is there anything else I can try?

check out iChat forum as opposed to this one. This topic has been addressed many times over there. Short answer (I think): is that iChat, et. al., are not AIM Triton-friendly insofar as A/V is concerned. Your Windoze folks need to run AIM 5.9, I think it is. And then they gotta tweak their settings to play nice with iChat.

"Lost Connection with AIM" repeatedly

Hi there,
I'm using a new Linksys WRT54GL router with the DD-WRT v23 firmware -- which is otherwise fabulous, by the way -- but since going with the router iChat has been pretty unreliable. I can't connect to my sister in England (I'm in Canada): we keep getting "insufficient bandwidth" errors (I'm on a very hi-speed cable internet connection, so I don't think it's me!). Moreover, AIM frequently kicks me off iChat with the message "Lost connection with AIM".
I've configured my router using instructions linked from this forum. I'm forwarding the following ports to my computer:
5060
5190
5220
5222
5678
16384
And while I can connect to other users okay (except my sister, it seems), staying connected it a real issue. Can anyone recommend a fix?
Thanks,
Aaron.

Hi Aaron,
This last port should be a group of 20 ports (16384-16403)
iChat needs 4 ports from this group to do 1-1 Audio or Video chats.
Many Linksys have UPnP. It is found in the Administration tab. If you have this you could use this. Disable the Port Forwarding if you do.
Also port Forwwarding points to one IP/computer. If this is the case for you and you still have the device doing DHCP there is a cance you computer's IP has changed if it goes to sleep or is shut down when the lease time runs out.
Check this on your computer and the Port Forwarding settings.

"Lost connection with AIM" error message

Hi all,
I've been a long-time iChat user — I've had very few problems, but now, at home, whenever I've been connected for about 10-15mins, iChat just disconnects with the simple iChat Connect Alert that the app has "Lost connection with AIM. The connection with the host was unexpectedly lost."
My Buddy List collapses to a "disconnected" header and I diappear from my Buddies' buddy lists. If I'm in the middle of a chat (video, audio or text), the chat continues uninterrupted, but I still disappear from people's lists as if I'd disconnected manually. Weird.
The net result is that I have to keep checking to see if I'm connected and then reconnecting all the time. A real pain in the proverbial.
It only happens at the house. My laptop doesn't disconnect if I'm at the office, for instance.
I have cable, coming in to Netgear 814v2 router; out to an 8-port gigabit switch, which then feeds my three main machines. All via ethernet cabling.
All machines have the same problem described above.
I've made the usual Quicktime setting changes.
I've listed the necessary ports in my Mac firewall settings (even though the firewall is turned off).
Each machine has a dedicated IP issued by the router (10.0.0.2 thru 10.0.0.5)
The router firmware is up to date.
What else is there?! I have no problems initiating or joining any sort of chat with my buddies around the world. I have excellent bandwidth. My internet and email are never interrupted 24/7.
Can someone help me? Pretty please?

Hi
Try this log on to AIM on port 443 rather than port 5190
Go to IChat > Preferences > Accounts.
Log out of AIM and then use the Server Settings tab
Set the port to 443.
Log back in again.

I've edited a Pages doc stored on iCloud on my iMac, and for the past hour or so it's been showing as updating on my iPad with the cogwheel going round. How do I stop it?

I've edited a Pages doc (which is stored on iCloud) on my iMac; when I checked on my iPad it just shows that the document is updating with the cog wheel going round and it's been like that now for well over an hour. While that is going on Pages on my iPad is frozen and I can't open the document. When I logged onto my iCloud account I found that the document is updated there. Can someone please explain what is going on with my iPad and how I can stop what seems a never ending process.

Hi tomtreb,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
The article below may be able to help you with this. Click on the link to see more details.
iCloud: Troubleshooting Documents in the Cloud
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3991
Unable to update documents
Documents I've updated on my Mac or uploaded from iCloud.com don't appear on my iOS device
If you're using an iWork for iOS app (Pages, Numbers, or Keynote), check the iCloud system requirements and make sure that you're using the latest version of iWork. For third party apps, check the documentation that came with the app, or check with the app developer to make sure the app supports iCloud. App Store application descriptions often indicate whether the app supports iCloud.
Go to Apple () menu > System Preferences on your Mac. Click iCloud and confirm that you're signed in to iCloud and the Documents & Data checkbox is selected.
After opening your iOS app, wait a few minutes for the documents to appear. Your iOS device may not have connected to iCloud since changes were made to the document at iCloud.com or on your other devices.
Try creating a new document on your iOS device, then check again for the documents from iCloud to appear.
Go to Settings > iCloud > Documents & Data and confirm that Use Cellular Data is turned on.
Confirm that you're connected to the Internet by checking for an Edge, 3G, 4G, LTE, or Wi-Fi icon in your device's status bar. Test your connection by opening apple.com in Safari.
Try resetting iCloud Documents & Data service.
Note: Preview and TextEdit documents uploaded to your iCloud Documents Library on your Mac will not be visible on iCloud.com or an iOS device, and iCloud iWork documents saved to iCloud cannot be viewed in Preview or TextEdit.
Cheers,
- Judy
