Video chat with folks who have PC's and error message

I have two quick things.... my son is in the military and I want to video chat with him. He has a pc, but we can't hook up. I use ichat, and he can see me using AIM, but I can't see him, even though his computer camera appears on. We can use a product called SightSpeed just fine, but I'd rather use iChat.
Also, when trying to add my wife's AIM name to my buddy list, I get the following error message: Feedbag error 10. I've never heard of this, searched for it and couldn't find anything. Any thoughts?

For others Feedbag 10 is lower down on this page

  • How can I video chat with someone who uses web based yahoo?

    Not long ago I purchased my first Mac (New MacBook Pro 2.53GHZ); last Summer I also purchased a MacBook Pro for my daughter. Everything works great (like driving a formula one Porsche after grappling with a battered pick-up truck (meaning Windows) for many decades; cannot imagine ever going back. But, there is one issue that I have not been able to solve and for which I would greatly appreciate any suggestions or advice. I am familiar with ichat and with AIM (my daughter uses it all the time). However, the vast majority of people with whom I communicate via IM live in parts of the world where very few people have even a computer at home much less residential internet access. As a result, near all of the folks I would be chatting with have to use public computers (internet cafes, libraries, etc) and obviously they cannot install AIM or anything else on those public computers. About 90% of them use the web based yahoo messenger which can be accessed from any computer with an internet connection (most of the rest use MSN). My question is this: I know how to do video chat in ichat but ichat does not support yahoo. How can I do video chat with someone who is using web based yahoo on a public computer that has a USB web cam? I was able to do this on my old PC which had a plug in web cam but do not know how it might work on a Mac. Should I install yahoo messenger on my MacBook Pro and will that work for me?. I know about some other Mac compatible chat clients such as Admiun but as far as I can tell none of them support video chat or in some cases yahoo. Perhaps I am overlooking something. I would be very grateful for any suggestions or advice in this matter. Thanks to anyone who reads this post and has any helpful info.

    Zurich,
    I don't think the web-based Yahoo Messenger supports video, so nothing you can do with that.

    I think there are Mac compatible MSN clients that will do video, (i.e. aMSN) Also, Microsoft plans on releasing an updated version of Messenger for Mac soon.

    GoogleTalk does have a browser based video chat, but your friends would need to install a browser plug-in. (which I would assume that can't do either)
    The best option is Skype, but also requires an install on their end (I would think that the internet cafes would/should have this available)
    Good Luck,

  • 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.

  • Can I Video Chat with someone who has Gchat?

    I have set up my gmail account in iChat, and am fully able to video chat with people who are also using ichat, but when I try to video chat with people who are using gchat (on PCs) and have video capability. Is there anyway to video chat with them besides opening up my gmail account and chatting through the web browser? I should be able to do it in one program right?

    With Gtalk in iChat its Mac to Mac only for video.

  • I want to video-chat with friends who are using MSN on PC

    The lastest version of MSN for Mac doesn't support video chat. Is there a way around this problem?
    Is there a compatible app for the Mac that will allow me to chat to my friends on MSN Messenger?
    Any advice appreciated. Thanks

    Hi
    Try Mercury mercury.to/">http://www.mercury.to/
    Or aMSN amsn.sourceforge.net/">http://amsn.sourceforge.net/
    Both do video but no audio.
    If you want video and audio try looking at Skype.

  • AIM with ichat 5.0.3 not working (can't chat, audio chat, or video chat) with someone who has ichat 6.0.0 (AIM). What can I do to fix this problem?

    It was working the night before, but the next day wasn't working at all. Facetime was having problems too... I have Mac OSX 10.6.8.

    Hi,
    It might help if we knew what sort of Accounts/Screen Names were involved ?
    What have you checked ?
    Mac Firewall ?
    Router ?
    Logging on to your Mac with another Mac User ?
    Does the Mac User Account you normally use have Parental Controls turned On ?

  • Downloaded iLife and installed it to get iDVD. iMovie working, Garage Band not installed and my working iPhoto stopped working. Icon where iPhoto used to be now has a white circle with a line in the middle and error message saying  that it is damaged.

    OS X 10.8.4 (12E55)

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Your MacBook Pro came with iPhoto, iMovie and GarageBand, and what you did is to install iLife from a DVD having these applications from the Mac App Store.
    What I recommend you is to delete the iPhoto, iMovie and GarageBand copy you have. To do it, open Finder, select Applications in the sidebar and delete them. Then, open the App Store, go to Purchases and download iMovie, iPhoto and GarageBand. iDVD will be working after doing this

  • How can I video chat with a Windows user?

    I just bought an iSight and have created an AIM account. I am trying to video chat with family who have Windows, a Logitech camera and also use AIM or MSN Messenger. We are unable to successfully chat. I can only see myself on the video. Can you please tell me if it is even possible to chat across platforms or are we out of luck?
    Thanks

    my mother is on a PC and i gave up trying to connect with her via iChat and AOHell. my solution was:
    http://www.yakforfree.com/
    thats the only way i can talk to my fam back home. it is easy, works without a hitch. occassionally the audio can be a little choppy, but if you need to you can also connect via skype for the sound:
    http://skype.com/
    (which doesnt have video for mac yet)
    AIM used to work fine before they released triton. i expressed some frustration in this thread:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=303012&tstart=0
    and i encourage everyone to contact apple feedback:
    http://www.apple.com/feedback/ichat.html
    and tell them to make their own cross platform version of iChat.
    good luck everyone.

  • Cannot video chat with someone using AIM software

    I tried to video chat with someone who was using the downloadable AIM software, and when they initiated the chat, nothing came up saying a video chat was requested, and when i tried to initiate it, a notification came up for them, they accepted, but nothing happened, video chat did not initiate, and on the top of my video chat screen it still said "waiting for response from ...". Anyone know what this problem is and how to fix it?

    Try these first steps

  • Who can you video chat with?

    who can you video chat with? is it only for other users of a mac computer? .. or can anyone with a webcam have chats with you via iChat AV? Someone please explain how you add people into a video chat. Thanks, its much appreciated,
    Andrew

    If there is a camera displayed next to your friend in the contact list you can invite your friend by clicking on that camera icon. You need to use iChat for video chats with more than one friend the same time. (friends using iChat can invite you to a multi person video chat and add others if the iChat user initiates the video chat)
    Windows users need AIM 6, the iChat application only runs on Mac OSX.

  • Two computers who can video chat with everyone but each other

    I don't get it, I can video chat with the apple test sites and anyone else who has left me their name on this site. My realtive in Seattle can do the same. But we can't video with each other. However, when I disconnect my cable modem and plug in my high speed wireless modem card, we connect. I have made all the setting changes to my Lyksys modem suggested on this forum with no success. Is it possible that her cable modem and mine are incompatible and just won't talk to each other? (we can text each other, just no video or voice)

    First of all, I would have to say that getting in touch with you is a nightmare and I am not at all happy that I can't just email or live chat with someone who can help!  I am not a technical person, I just want to be able to use Photoshop Elements and get on with it. I bought Photoshop Elements via Amazon some months ago and it worked fine.  I then got a message that advised that the trial version would expire, which it subsequently has (I have been trawling your site for weeks and weeks trying to find an email or phone contact to get some assistance).  Relucltantly, I am now typing this - and I suspect it will not help in the slightest!  I bought the FULL not TRIAL edition of Photoshop Elements and I have contacted Amazon who confirmed this, but say I need to contact you.  Can you please let me know how I can resolve this?  Louise A Fraser

  • I want to video chat with people on Facebook or MSN who are not using an apple device.

    I Have been trying to video chat with friends and family using my ipad 3 but they do not have apple devices.
    WHat does anyone suggest for an app to link to my Facebook and/ or msn account in order to be able to video chat with them?

    It sounds like Skype would do well.  It has no direct connection to Facebook or MSN, but that's OK ... as long as they use Skype as well.
    Skype is now a Microsoft product, so it's related to MSN in some sense.

  • I have an I pad can I chat with someone who has an Apple Mac computer

    I have an I pad can I chat with someone who has an Apple Mac computer, if so what do I need to do ??

    Hi,
    In Messages on the iPad you need to be using an Apple ID (which you probably are)
    You can then iMessage (the form of Apple Chat Messaging that is used) to other Apple IDs or iPhone numbers.
    They have to be using iOS 5.5 or higher or OS X 10.8 on a Mac.  ( A Mac could be up to OS X 10.8.2 if updated iOS devices could be up to iOS 6.0.1)
    You then needs either WiFi access or a Data contract and an iPad that can do at least 3G (some have SIM cards)

  • Can iChat have video chat with Windows Messenger?

    Is there any way to use Jabber or other means to establish a video chat with an MSN Messenger user?
    Alternatively, does anyone know if Virtual PC for Mac supports video chat with windows computers?
    Thanks for the help.

    Hello Peter,
    Is there any way to ... establish a video chat with an MSN Messenger user?
    The best way is still with a Windows XP PC and MSN Messenger.
    For use with your Mac, see the MSN, Yahoo, Win Messengers & iChat? FAQ. Jabber is text only.
    There is a beta application called Mercury Messenger on Mac OS X that is an MSN Server client.
    However, please note that the Mercury Messenger Webcam / Video Conference Support section, which I quote, in part, includes the following:
    Video-conferencing is supported on Mac OS X, however it is receive-only, due to an incomplete JMF library for Mac OS X. The feature is still relatively new, and so some issues may occur in use.
    Although Mercury Messenger (beta) will connect to the MSN Server, those comparing it with iChat AV's capability should certainly study the sections about the limitations and known issues.
    If you get Mercury Messenger on Mac OS X working, please post back and let us know what you think of it.
    ... does anyone know if Virtual PC for Mac supports video chat with windows computers?
    VPC for Mac does not support Firewire video, so it cannot use an iSight for video. Sorry, but I have not seen anyone post a method of using VPC that rivals the performance of using the same application on a Windows PC.
    Also, VPC with the current version of Windows is so expensive that, at least where I live, it is often cheaper to buy a used, and sometimes a new, PC to run your PC software.
    If you really MUST use PC software, I suggest running it on a PC.
