How can I video chat from an older macbook pro (2011) to a new macbook pro with retina second gen

    Greetings. I'm attempting to sync video clips from my macbook pro to my ipad 2 without much success.  A few videos go over and the rest can't. What format do they need to be in?  Thanks for any help you can give.  JWA

    QuickTime Pro costs a few buck but is a good tool to have on hand as it can open and transcode a wide variety of video and audio formats.
    It's like a Swiss Army knife for media files.

  • I recently installed Mavericks and now I can't video chat with sister who has ichat, is there a fix?

    Is ichat on an older machine compatible with Mavericks Messages video chatting?  Is there something I can do to video chat with someone who has ichat on an older machine?  They aren't going to upgrade so am I stuck with Skype?  We really liked ichat.

    Yes, I can video chat with someone on Skype.  I only ichat with my younger sister and she doesn't ichat with anyone else.  I don't have anyone else to try out the video chatting with in Messages.  She's not tech savy and doesn't feel comfortable doing anything to her program.  A friend may try to get her up and running on Skype, we just liked chatting with the Mac programs.

  • Video chat with different versions of iChat?

    Hi,
    I was hoping to set up iChat to work with two different computers, one using iChat version 3.1.9 (v446) (OS = OSX 10.4.11) and the other using iChat version 5.0.1 (743) (OS = OSX 10.6.2) . Both users have Gmail email addresses, and we were hoping to use these for iChat.
    The problem we are having now, is the earlier version of iChat only has two options for accounts, .mac or AOL instant Messenger. This computer is having trouble connecting.
    Is there a way for us to set up these computers to allow for video chatting?
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    iChat 3 does Jabber if you are NOT using Parental Controls on the Mac User account.
    You can then enter an Google ID in the Jabber side.
    What you then have to do before logging in is go to the iChat Preferences > Accounts > Server settings tab and change the Server name to talk.google.com (it will have pulled through the ending to your Google ID (either (@)googlemail.com or (@)gmail.com)

  • I am unable to do video chat using Gtalk either with ichat as well as Safari Browser any idea.

    I am unable to do video chat using Gtalk either with ichat or Browser. i tryed to use Firefox with Viedo chat plugin but this also doesn't help. My Voice and Picture is going but i am unable to receive. I am using Mac OS X10.7 Lion.

    IE uses an [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ActiveX ActiveX] control to handle Flash objects.<br />
    Firefox uses a different [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NPAPI NPAPI] plugin.<br />

  • Video Chat from my PlayBook to Z10

    Hi,
    I have a Playbook and a Z10, both of which are on separate BBID's. Till about 2-3 months back, I was able to video chat from my Playbook  to my Z10. However, I am not able to do that now and I get the message 'COntact's unavailable'. But, I can still do a video chat from my Z10 to the Playbook using the notifications. This is only happening with my Z10. My brother also has a Z10 and I am able to call him from my Playbook.
    Can you help resolve this
    Thanks

    Dear kulpreet
    I know that you have been waiting an exceedingly long time for a reply.
    Today I made my first attempt to use the video chat application for my BlackBerry PlayBook, only just minutes before this post.
    If you are still unable to receive your video chat between you and your loved one, I suggest that you add details to both your phone and PlayBook again.
    I have just experimented with my phone and PlayBook, at that using my phone as a hospital for my PlayBook, I was still able to get a connection between the two.
    My playbook did complete the connection but when I replied from phone to playbook, playbook did not seem to connect.
    Maybe due to having the same connector had to do with it, but it did attempt.
    I believe the connection is made through your BB10 via your BBM.
    I hope this will help you and others in the near future.
    Yours sincerely

  • Trouble video chatting from iChat to AIM (PC)

    i just recently purchased a MacBook Pro. kinda new to the OS. but ive downloaded aim as well as tried using ichat to video chat with someone on aim who has a PC. and when i send the request and they try to accept an error msg. and when they request they get an error also. any help greatly appreciated.

    Hi,
    This Users Tip was written some time ago but does contain transferable info.
    Basically the AIM end has to be allowed through the Windows Firewall as an Exception.
    The Ports AIM on a PC uses also have to be allowed by some method in the routing device at that end.
    It does pay to try and use UPnP as the method to allow ports at Both ends.
    Trillian Pro mentioned in the Users Tip is another App that can Video to iChat.
    The Pro Bit is a Add-on needed to do Video and Audio Chat and is the bit that costs.
    Again as a NON Microsoft app it has to be allowed through the Firewall as an Exception.
    At your end go to the iChat Menu > Preferences > Video Section and set the Bandwidth Limit to 500kbps
    This is more than enough for a 4 way Video chat between Macs but may help the PC end.

  • Won't allow multiple buddy video chats on my macbook pro

    I have macbook pro, iChat AV 3.1.8 and I can video chat no problem but i can't start or join multiple
    (3 way) video chats. So I can only ever do one to one.
    What is wrong?
    Help please.

    Hi
    Hi
    First have you set the Quicktime streaming setting, goto sys prefs/quicktime/streaming/streaming speed, set to 1.5mbps(dont use automatic)
    In ichats prefs click on video and change bandwidth limit to NONE.
    Restart iChat.
    Do a speedtest and tell us the upload and download speeds http://www.speedtest.net/

  • Issues with transferring files from older MacBook to new Macbook Pro

    Hi there. I am trying to transfer my files from an older MacBook (OS 10.5) to my new MacBook Pro but there is no firewire and it didn't like the file sharing 'afp' address I tried. My Time Machine is saved on a HD with only firewire so that doesn't help. I have an ethernet cord but can't find how to use it to connect them..am so frustrated. I remember Migration Assistant being so smooth and easy in the past but this is not smooth nor easy. thanks in advance for your help!

    It may mean to Snow Leopard, which is more in line with current systems though it's still older. Not sure a cable is going to do it for you if ethernet and wifi failed.

    Hi,
    I would like to know what the most efficient way of moving all my old iPhone contacts and calendar etc. from my old Macbook Pro and iPhone 3G to my new MacBook Pro and iPhone 4?
    It doesn't seem that straight forward?
    Thanks,

    Use migration assistant to move everything from the old computer to the new.
    Iphone should sync as always.
