Using iChat AV and trying to video conference with a PC using AIM

I am trying to create an AV session from my mac to a PC. I am using iChat with an AIM username and the PC is using AIM. Everytime i try to establish a video connection it says that I did not respond. What can I do to fix this?

HI Helen,
Just to check.
He is on XP ?
He is using AIM 5.9 ?
He has Tuned the camera and Mic to the App ?
If he is at Service Pack 2 he has enabled the app through the XP firewall ?
You have the MAc firewall Off.
The ports are enabled in your modem.
Either using UPnP or these actual ports
5060, 5190, 5678, 16384-16403 for just the AIM stuff.
Have you changed the Quicktime setting to match your download speed ?
Can you and he get any of the people or test accounts o this page ?

Why is iChat shutting down when trying to video-conference with Windows?

My friend and I are trying to video-conference.
I use an iBook G4, with an iSight.
My friend uses a HP Pavilion ZV5000.
For some reason, my iChat shuts down when it's connecting.
It'll connect for one second and then, my iChat will close.
I don't see what's wrong :(!
Help me, please!
iBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Hi Bill,
Yes I saw that kellyRAWR mentioned that they were using AIM.
And Tony explained about the AIM 5.9 issue.
I was merely offering another option that she may not know about, since the AIM->iChat is flaky at best.

HT2020 How can I use ichat or face time for video conference to window computer?

How can I use Ichat or factime to video conference remote famiy members who have windows computers?

HI,
You can use iChat to Video to PCs that are using the AIM for PC app or have the Trillian App with the Pro Add-on (which costs).
As you list OS 10.7.4 you may find you can find a copy of the Messages Beta (technically it was withdrawn before the release date for Mountain Lion that has the Full version)

Hi,
Do you mean Window Live Messenger or it's Mac equivalent MSN for Mac ?
Actually the app comes with Office
In the Microsoft Office X (2001 version) it was still called MSN Messenger
In Office 2008 it was called Microsoft Messenger.
The current one that can also be downloaded as a standalone app also comes with Office 2011 is also called Microsoft Messenger.
This is version 8 and this version is the only one that can Video Chat as a standalone app.
Version 7 required you were in a mixed environment (with PCs) connected to the correct sort of Windows Server.
This page may help you further.

Since the ios7 update I go to use my camera and switch to video and it won't switch ! ..why is this ? HELP

Thanks stedman1 for continuing to push this interface change news... I must have taken 100 photos last night (of my shoes) trying to switch to video (unsuccessfully). Very frustrating.
OTOH, like many Apple interface innovations, it is simple to learn and easy to remember.
Honestly, that's all we can ask for, there really ain't no intuitive.

I am using itunes 10 and trying to consolidate my files. I keep getting the error "Copying files failed. The file name was invalid or too long". How can I indentify what file is causing this problem or resolve this issue?

BUMP
Yes, I just get that message. I don't see how I could investigate this problem.
I didn't mention that this happened when I was consolidating my library, not copying files to another computer.
In other words, I'm using a "normal" itunes procedure, itunes won't complete it, and won't tell me exactly why or how to figure out how to fix it...
Is there at least some easy way to tell which files were successfully copied to my itunes music folder so I can work on moving the uncopied files?
Can anybody help me?

I get a error message "To charge faster, use the cable and device that were provided with this phone" when charging my Samsung Galaxy note 3. I took it to a store last week and they said it has something to do with the last software update. They tried charging it at the store and got the same message. I was given another phone, I still get the same error with the new phone.

Wowuor,
Thank you so much for reaching to us today. I want to make sure that we get the device charging the correct way. There is no physical or liquid damage to the phone or to the power cord correct? Did this error just start to appear as of last week? Please keep us posted.

Those videos play fine on your ipod? If yes, check to see if you select the correct input channel on your TV. Also check to see if your S-calbe has a broken pin.

Hi DaVince Vince,
I'm sorry to hear that you are having issues with your iPhone. I also apologize, I'm a bit unclear what issues you were having that led up to the attempted Erase All, and/or exactly what behavior you are seeing now (restarting, not responding at all, etc). If you are seeing an Apple Logo screen and your iPhone does not appear to be starting correctly, you may find the following articles helpful:
If your iOS device restarts, displays the Apple logo, or powers off while you're using it - Apple Support
If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch doesn't respond or doesn't turn on - Apple Support
Regards,

Using separate_frame=true and trying to close the applet window after...

We are using separate_frame=true and trying to close the applet window (the one with the large gray box) after using the following post-form trigger:
if :system.last_form = 0 then
     message('Please wait while Forms closes - '||:system.last_form);
     web.show_document('/forms/html/close.htm','_self');
end if;
This works fine for the first form we open, but if that same form using Open_Form to open a child form we have a problem. When the child form is closed the user is returned to the parent calling form (which is expected), but then when the parent form is closed the separate applet window fails to close. Any suggestions?

I guess you mis-interpreted the value of :SYSTEM.LAST_FORM. From the online-help:
SYSTEM.LAST_FORM represents the form document ID of the previous form in a multi-form application, where multiple forms have been invoked using OPEN_FORM.So LAST_FORM shows always the ID of the last activated form, and this will never be 0 if you issued one OPEN_FORM in your application.

I have written a binary file with a specific header format in LABVIEW 8.6 and tried to Read the same Data File, Using LABVIEW 7.1.Here i Found some difficulty.Is there any way to Read the Data File(of LABVIEW 8.6), Using LABVIEW 7.1?

I can think of two possible stumbling blocks:
What are your 8.6 options for "byte order" and "prepend array or string size"?
Overall, many file IO functions have changed with LabVIEW 8.0, so there might not be an exact 1:1 code conversion. You might need to make some modifications. For example, in 7.1, you should use "write file", the "binary file VIs" are special purpose (I16 or SGL). What is your data type?

I am running Lion (OS X 10.7.4) and trying to reinstall iLife06, a .mpkg file, using Installer.app. I get a message "You can't open the application iLife06.mpkg because PowerPC apps are no longer supported." Is there a work around?? Thanks in advance!

The only workaround would be to purchase the current version of iLife apps from the App Store.
Lion doesn't support the old PowerPC architecture anymore, which is what iLife '06 was written for.
If the internal apps are universal, right-click on the mpkg and choose Show Contents. Then, dig through and run the specific installer package for each application.

A Sprint iPhone uses CDMA when in the US. The SIM is used only when not in the US.
To use it in the US, you have to have Sprint activate it, but it is unlikely they will activate in on your company's account.
