Videoconference with pc-user

Hi everyone,
I wanted to start a videoconference in iChat with my AIM account. One of my friends is a pc-user and the video appearing next to his account indicated that he can't videoconference.
Does anyone know how that might come? He's using the AIM 7.0 for Windows!
Thanks!

Hi,
At the top of this Forum is a section on the Recent Users Tips for iChat
(Other forums list their most Recent tips)
The Second one in this forum is this http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1968438
I would start with that.
It is mostly written for AIM 6.5 and 6.8 with reference to AIM versions earlier than that.
Both of you should add the names in Table 1 (link Below) and see if you can Video to them.

  • I want to use iChat video and file sharing with Windows users

    Nowadays, iChat is compatible with AOL/AIM, Google Talk, Jabber, Mac.com and MobileMe instant messaging services. I know that Yahoo Messenger support will be available soon in Mac OS X Lion.
    I tried using AOL/AIM and Google Talk natively in iChat in order to talk with Windows users which were using Google Talk application or web chatting (Me from: Google Talk - My friends from:  Google Talk, and Me from: AOL/AIM - My friends from:  Google Talk), but videoconference and file sharing were not available.
    I also tried Windows Live Messenger in iChat via Jabber intermediate, but it is not efficient and doesn't work for videoconference and file sharing.
    So, which IM service combination I should use to chat with Windows users in order to be able to use videoconference and file sharing using such a great app like iChat?
    Thanks you.

    Hi,
    A lapsed Trial or lapsed Paid for MobileMe account will not work in any fashion, as a Screen Name in iChat/AIM apps or as a Email.  (Of course it is no longer an Valid Apple ID either).
    Given that Google is a Jabber server iChat will Video (or Audio Only) Chat Jabber to Jabber.
    With a Valid AIM name (AIM, MobileMe or @mac.com) then it is supposed to work to AIM on a PC
    This tends to vary from person to person as to success.
    From AIM version 6.5 AIM introduced a Send as Typing feature called "Real Time"
    It does not work to iChat and in fact also has to be turned Off in the Buddy List at the AIM end for Video or Audio chats to work.
    The AIM app also has to be allowed through the Windows Firewall as an Exception, preferably with UPnP enabled as well and UPnP enabled in their Router.
    Trillian is a paid for App for PCs that provide an alternative.
    Recently theri site offered 3 windows versions
    The Pro version of verion 3.2 (known to work), a version 4 and a version 5 in beta.  The version 3.2 used to have a free Text chat version and only the Pro version was needed to Video.
    Until the site was reorganised the 3.2 version was "On Sale" at a reduced price.
    It seems version 5 is now out of beta
    They are still separating out a Pro version.
    It is a multi-service client
    There is also a Mac version although I have not tried it.
    I am not sure what you mean by "Manage" your MSN Contacts.
    How about using a MobileMe expired account screen name for using iChat with Windows-Google Talk users? Should I expect the same incompatibilities?
    I have already addressed part of this. The fact the name will not work full stop.
    However one way of reading this is that you are thing of linking AIM and Jabber (Google) Buddies in one Buddy List
    Directly in iChat this cannot be done - unless you are the one with the Jabber Account and an AIM Transport set up.
    You would be subject to the same Text Chat only restrictions.
    It is a bit like the fact your phone line can be used for Fax, Telephone and DSL broadband. (in fact mine does TV as well)
    You granny would not be able to talk to your Fax machine if that happened to answer the call.
    Her Fax machine might be able to communicate with your computer if you had an active Fax app on there, and a dail-up modem active to answer.

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    iTunes and iCloud and different accounts, you will need to delete both accounts from your device before adding the new details in their place.
    For iCloud go to settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit the delete button. You can then sign back in using your correct details. For iTunes go to settings >store, tap your account ID and then sign out, you can then sign back in using your correct Apple ID.

  • How to set up a desktop with numerous users

    New to the Mac...replacing windows desktop
    Home desktop: 2 adults 2 kids
    the adults each have (multiple separate) email accounts...the kids have email but not as important...
    mostly browsing; email; social networks...
    shared apps would be MS Office...
    not overly privacy concerned...any user can see the computers files...i suppose everyone should get some email account privacy...
    1. I supposes creating 4 users is the most rational...
         i assume each user could have a separate email setup...that would only be visible when they are logged in to their account...
         I assume each user could have a separate documents folder...that would be the default when they are logged in (but when logged in to to other accounts it      is probably visible)
         I assume everyone could share the MS office apps...
         This seems rational...a sandbox for everyone...
    2. are there alternatives?
    the problem with multiple users is that 3/4 users are not computer oriented...they dont have the mentality to log in and log out...they tend to just sit down and start surfing...writing a document...
    can you have multiple separate email "silos" in one user logon? a different icon to go to different users emails...
    I want something rationale but simple...
    p.s. just an observation..as one with some gray hairs...
    despite a pretty expensive mac desktop on order...for home use...desktops are kind of dying...
    its all the phone and the tablet...I (and my family) simply do not sit in front of the family desktop anymore...for example, i used to pore over quicken...now most of the finanial stuff is on the financial institutions website etc...any i can look at my finances (for example) better on their website than i could with my home software...and i do not want to sit on my couch or kitchen table and not at the desk in the "office"...
    but we still need it for school projects...somethings where we need a big screen...
    but i want to set it up simple...
    thx

    I'd still set up four user accounts. You don't have to set a password for them, if you don't want to, which eases login. Everyone gets their own space to "decorate" as they wish.
    It is not simple, or pleasant, to keep everyone's email in one account and try to deal with it. Mail doesn't have a "profile" system as that is taken care of by the user account. There is no way to switch between email accounts if they are all in one user account. You'd end up removing those gray hairs, violently.
    Everybody has access to all the programs on the Mac. However, you could install one inside a user account, then only that user would be able to use it. Not common, but possible.
    With Fast User Switching, they can select their name from the menu bar to go to their account, if it is not sitting on the Login screen.
    There is also a Shared folder inside the /Users folder where you can put documents that everyone needs access to, if you need it.

  • SAP NW CE 7.1: Sign-on to R/3 backend with Portal User

    Hello,
    I have create a an Application Service. There I have imported some RFC and created some operations to read data from the R/3 backend and write in R/3 backend.
    I have created an other Development Component. It's a EJB Module. With EJB invocation I get access to the Application Service.
    The next step is to use the EJBs with Web Dynpro with the an EJB Model Import.
    Now my questions:
    How can I realize that this user who sign on in portal and excute the Web Dynpro Application also sign on at R/3 backend. In NWA at Destinations I changed the <i>Logon Data--Authentication</i> from <i>Technical User</i> to <i>Current User (Logon Ticket)</i>.
    Now I get the following exception:
    java.lang.IllegalStateException: No SAP logon ticket found for destination TDE.
    I execute the methods of the EJB in a test-class via JDNI-lookup.
    <b>How can I create a logon ticket for my destination?</b>
    Do I have "only" to follow the instructions here for http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwce10/helpdata/en/4d/dd9b9ce80311d5995500508b6b8b11/frameset.htm for Scenario 1?
    <b>How can I deliver CAF the userid and password?</b>
    I implemented a test-class where I use the EJB of the EJB Module. How can I give CAF the userid and password of an PortalUser?
    Redards,
    Armin

    Hi Armin,
    Unfortunately, I cannot answer your question about logon tickets. But regarding user propagation to the CAF Application Service:
    When you access the Portal / WD app, you authenticate with some user. The latter is automatically propagated to the EJB in the EJB module and then to the EJB implementing the CAF service. So, you don't need to do anything explicitly.
    HTH!

  • Public SharePoint Online Site with External User Portal

    Hello Everyone,<o:p></o:p>
    My company switched over to Office 365 a few months ago, and now would like to start using our Public SharePoint site to share information (documents
    pertaining to their orders/drawings/etc.) with our customers (external users).<o:p></o:p>
    <o:p> </o:p>
    I have seen documentation on how to share documents with individual users, but we were looking to do something a little bit different. We would ultimately
    like to have a public site with generic company information (like hours, about us,directions etc.) that anyone can see.
    We would also like to use SharePoint as almost an "FTP type" service where we could post documents and share them with individual
    external
    users. HOWEVER, instead of sharing individual documents, we were wondering if there was a way that an external user (that we have granted
    access) could sign into the public SharePoint site, and then see information that ONLY pertains to them.
    I have been doing some research on this, and I haven't seen that anyone else has tried this. Has anyone had any luck? Or would you have suggestions on how to make
    this work? I had originally posted this question on the Office 365 SharePoint forum, and they suggested posting this question here. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

    Hi,
    did you finally manage to get what you requested here above ? Indeed, I am also struggling to set up the same (public website with individual content sharing with external authentified user).
    For external user, I am quite sure that we need to go through MS ID creation (I have created some test users using https://login.live.com).
    Our public website is done and (almost) working. I have then created a sub-site for the same, this one to manage permission based on authentified user
    But I am stuck when trying to assign a document library with relavant permission.
    Would be great to share our feedback and I have searched a lto on the web and did not find any satisfying answer to this design (If there is any... here is my doubt...)
    Thanks in advance

  • Working with multiple users and computers, but shared data

    Sorry if this is posted in a poor place, I'm not sure where the best place is. This is sort of a general questions.
    For a long time, my wife and I have had either one computer, or two machines but one has definitely been just a terminal. We've basically set up all of our data to be one one primary machine, and if we want to view/edit that data we have to use that machine.
    We just got a new MacBook Pro and I would like to be able to use two machines as equals. Sadly, this idea of multiple computers, with two users and some shared data is really giving me difficulty. I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions on how to best manage things like:
    Synchronizing portions of our contact list (We share about 50% of the combined library -- we don't have to share all though).
    How to manage iPhoto so that we can each have access to the photos. As an added difficulty (or maybe this is easier?) my Wife just wants to have access to the pictures for viewing and sharing on Facebook/Picassa/etc. I am the only one who wants to edit, correct and cull our library. That said, I always edit when I first put the data on the machine, and almost never again; so it would be fine to have one (or both accounts) set up as view only for the iPhoto data.
    How to manage iTunes so that we can each have access to the music. As a super awesome bonus, it would be great if we could have three libraries: His, Hers and Shared. Maybe as much as 30% of our music library is similar, the rest just gets in the way.
    What is the best solution people have found for calendars? (I'm thinking two separate calendars, and we each subscribe to each others iCal feed)
    Mail.app and bookmark synching is not really a problem for us.
    Two extra points:
    * One machine is portable, and the other isn't. Ideally, when the laptop is out of the house, both machines should still have reasonable access to the shared data. That is: Just dumping things in the shared folder won't work because when the laptop is out of the house we will be disconnected from the source data.
    * We just got a second iPhone. This means that both of us will be taking photos/video separately and trying to synch back to the master data store.
    * Basically, I'm trying to minimize data duplication as much as possible, and just synchronize the systems to each other.
    Thanks a ton in advance. If anyone has any suggestions at all, I would love to hear them. Including "This is in the wrong forum, go ask here instead..."

    So you have a desktop Mac and a laptop Mac, right? Two user accounts (and a third admin account) on each computer, right?
    I profess that I haven't tried this, but here is how I would approach your problem:
    Sharing Music and Photos between multiple user accounts on the same computer: 
    See if http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=194992 and http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=510993 provide any useful information to assist you in this endeavor.
    Sharing across multiple computers:
    Turn on file sharing on the Desktop (System Preferences > Sharing). Now you can mount the Desktop as an external drive on the laptop's Desktop. Copy the music and photo folders across. Will take awhile to do the first time. Then, for future use, get a copy of the donationware CarbonCopyCloner or equivalent. You can use CCC to selectively sync specific folders from one computer to the other. There may be a hassle with digital copyright issues on music and movies, though.
    Calendars:
    As you have suggested yourself, publishing yours and subscribing to hers is probably the best way to do it, on the same computer. Across computers, syncing with CCC or equivalent would probably be the way to go.

  • How to use your own database with your users to authenticate in a Web app?

    Hello, everybody!
    I'm starting to write my first web application and I'm going to use JSF, JPA and EJB3 in this application. One of the first things that I have to do on it is the authentication part where I'll have a page with a user name and a password for the user to login. So, as I'm new to all this in Java (I've already implemented this on .NET in the past), I was studying the Java EE 5 Tutorial, especifically the section "Example: Using Form-Based Authentication with a JSP Page". But I saw that the users that the sample application uses come from the file realm on the Application Server. The users are created there and assigned a name, a password and a group. After the users are in the Application Server we can simply uses forms authentication declaratively in the deployment descriptor (web.xml).
    But the problem is that this doesn't work to me as I already have my own database with my users, so I want to use it instead of having to create the users on the Application Server.
    So, I'm asking you how to do that. Of course I'm not expecting that you place the code here to me as I know that such a thing could be complicated. Instead, I'm asking if you know about some tutorial, article, book or something that teaches how to do what I want. But I would like to see theses examples using JSF and/or EJB3 because these are the technologies that I'm using to develop. It's a pity that the Java EE 5 Tutorial doesn't have an example using a custom database as I know that this situation is very common in the majority of web sites.
    Thank you very much.
    Marcos

    From memory, it goes like this... You just create a
    raw jdbc connection on your user database using a
    special "login" DB user account, which has
    permissions only to an "authenticate" stored query,
    which accepts two arguments: username & password, and
    returns a boolean 0 or 1 rows found.When I implemented this in .NET's ASP.NET I had the same solution. I had an special user created in the database that I used to log in. When the real user entered his username and password I was already logged in and I had just to check his username and password agains the right table in my database.
    But that was only possible bacause when I connected to the database using my hidden user, I used the rights APIs in ASP.NET that coordinate the authentication process. This means that before login in, no one could access any resources (pages, atc...). So what I'm saying is that I can't manager this manually in Java. Java has to have some API or whatever to allow me to control the login process programmatically, while letting the Application Server control the access to the resources.

  • WinXP with two users - can we have two separate iTunes, one for each user?

    Question:  On my Dell WinXPPro SP3 desktop with two users (myself and my wife), can each user have a separate iTunes - so what each of us does with iTunes has no effect on the other?
    Details:  Yesterday, June 29 2012, I bought a new iPad 3 with WiFi only, my first Apple product.  My #1 motive for buying it is to copy movie files (avi, m4v, mp4, etc.) from my WinXP setup (PC plus hard drive) to my new iPad to watch the movies in bed on the new iPad. I understand that I shall need to install iTunes on both the iPad and the PC in order to move or copy the existing movies from the PC side to the iPad.  (I also understand that I won't be able to use iCloud because iCloud will not run on WinXP, only Vista and Win7.)  [By the way, if iTunes will NOT help me do what I want to do, please let me know.  But that is not my question.]
    I am only one of two users on the PC.  My wife is the second user on the PC.  She already installed iTunes on the PC for her own use.  She is an avid iTunes user.   Most of the time, she does not use this PC.  She has her own WinXPPro SP3 Dell laptop, which is what she uses 99% of the time.  She has also had an iPod for some time, hence her use of iTunes.  And now, for the last two weeks, she also has a new iPhone 4S and her own iPad.  So her use of iTunes will grow.  The important point is the following - whatever I do on my side, I do not want to interfere with or disrupt her use of iTunes.  Not even for a second.
    So, can I install or re-install or somehow set up iTunes on MY user on the PC so that it does not in any way use or affect her iTunes?  If the answer is "yes", please give me a step-by-step and list all details.  Is there a YouTube that shows this specifically?  
    More details:  Right now, in C:\Program Files, before I have tried to install anything myself, there are already folders for Apple Software Update, iPod and iTunes, which derive from my wife's installations of these Apple programs some time ago.  I have just now run the Apple Software Updater, which first updated itself on this PC to version 2.1.3.127 and then updated her iTunes on this PC to version 10.6.3.25.  (As a result, the following processes/services are now running, which normally don't run when I am the user: 
      C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\AppleMobileDeviceService.exe
      C:\Program Files\iPod\bin\iPodService.exe
      C:\Program Files\iTunes\iTunesHelper.exe
    Also, the following processes will launch the next time I reboot this PC (which normally don't launch when I am the user):
      C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support\APSDaemon.exe
      C:\Program Files\iTunes\iTunesHelper.exe )
    My wife says her iTunes is NOT set for Family Share.  (That sounds correct to me, for now and forever.)
    Summary:  So, how do I install iTunes for myself (for the first time) for my user on this PC so it does not - even for a second - interfere or affect my wife's use of her iTunes on all of her devices?
    Thanks !!!

    Mr. Wiclee - thanks for the link.
    When I said I had not "installed" iTunes on my iPad, I suppose I meant I have not yet signed in to iTunes, ever.  I suppose when I sign in to iTunes the first time on my new iPad, I will be required to create a new iTunes account?  Then refer to such new iTunes account when I launch iTunes for the first time on my PC as myself?  Or will I still need to use Method Three in your link? 
    The crucial thing is this - when I turn on iTunes on the PC for the first time with me as User, I do NOT want it to connect to my wife's iTunes account.  On my PC, I would want iTunes to ask me who I am, so I can then sign in with my new iTunes account that I had just created on my iPad.  How can I be sure to accomplish this goal?
    In my PC, if I look at Documents and Settings and compare the two folders for we two different users, one for me and one for my wife, I can see that my wife's has Application Data and Local Settings for her various Apple programs.  However, so do I in my User even though I have not yet installed any Apple programs on my side.  I am concerned that when I finall launch iTunes when I am user, it will open up in my wife's iTunes account, which I truly want to avoid.
    Thanks.  Please advise.

  • In trying to share music with multiple user accounts on one comp, I quit itunes, located my itunes media folder, moved it to a publicly accessible location. Problem is it didn't work and now I can't get it all back to the way it was.

    In trying to share music with multiple users on one computer, I followed the directions on "iTunes:How to share music between different accounts on a single computer" (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1203). I did something wrong because i lost iTunes
    Tried to put files back, but it is not the same. Plugged in my ipod and it is not recognizing my computer.
    Can someone tell me where iTunes should be, and what sub files should be included with it. Thanks!

  • How do we sync contacts and calendars (ONLY) between two iCloud accounts, two iPhones and one iMac with two user accounts?

    This is complex.  Until today we had one iMac with two user accounts - one for me and the other for my wife.  We sync'd our calendars and contacts between our two user accounts using my iCloud account, thereby keeping our schedules coordinated and our contacts information always the same between us.  Also, as I had an iPhone, I sync'd my phone with my iCloud account, thereby keeping the contacts and calendars in the two user accounts on the iMac AND my iPhone sync'd.  (I also sync'd other things, like Notes and Mail and Safari settings, between my iPhone and my user account on the iMac, but my wife did not want to be burdened with all my emails showing up in her email account and I wasn't interested in hers, etc., so we didn't sync anything between us other than calendars and contacts.)
    We've finally bought my wife an iPhone and set up an iCloud account for her.  And of course she now wants to sync several items from HER account on our iMac to HER iPhone, but I don't want them, just as she doesn't want all of my other stuff.  But we still want our mutual calendars and contacts to sync to HER new iPhone, just like they already do to mine.  But I can't figure out how to CHANGE her iMac user account from using MY iCloud account on the iMac to using HER new iCloud account, and then having HER iCloud account speak to MY iCloud account but share JUST our calendars and contacts.
    Originally I tried a workaround by simply having her iPhone log into my iCloud account.  That works great for the calendars and the contacts.  But...she can't sync anything else from her iMac account to her new iPhone because she's presently "forced" to use my iCloud account.  And neither of us want to sync our other things to each other's iMac accounts or iPhones.  Also as we're both using my iCloud account, in things like the Find My iPhone app, the Cloud is seeking two phones labeled with my name and none with her's.  So we definitely don't want this as the set-up and communications network between our devices.
    We want to set up our users on the iMac to sync to our SEPARATE AND DIFFERENT iCloud accounts and then have those iCloud accounts sync calendars and contacts (ONLY) between themselves, and then push that data to our separate iPhones (or the other way, from either of our iPhones to the individual accounts on our iMac and the other person's iPhone).  Does this description make sense to you?  I've diagramed it nicely using Keynote, but even thiough I can draw it, I can't figure out how to set up and configure all the devices to make it work.  If you would like me to send the Keynote slides (just two of them - the current and desired configurations - please send your email address to me at [email protected] and I'll be happy to forward it to you.
    If anyone can help me set this up I'd be most appreciative!  Thanks so much.  Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all readers in this community!

    I had the same problem, and decided to look into it last night.
    First of all, the solution I would like to have is for Apple to allow for selection of iCloud accounts per application, i.e. Contacts to one, Photo Stream to another. I believe this would be the most straight forward solution for the problem we are facing. 
    Since this is not an option I came up with a workaround. I was most interested in solving this for Contacts, so this is what I tested for. Now I have all 3 devices with the same contacts.
    1) Turn off iCloud for Contacts on all devices. On the device that has the Contacts list that you would like to propagate to all others select to keep the contacts, and on the others select not to keep them.
       Note that the current backups still exist on iCloud, so in case something goes wrong you can still turn the iCloud for Contacts back on to get your current Contacts back.
    2) In iTunes, sync All Contacts with the phones, starting with the one with the Contacts content you chose to keep.
    From this point on, the 3 devices should sync contacts with each other.
    This, of course, will stop your iCloud backups of Contacts, but I don't think this is really needed. You are already storing copies of your Conacts on 3 devices, which for good parts of the day are likely not all co-located. You also potentially have Time Machine backups turned on, which would mean there is a 4th copy there as well. For the case of Contacts iCloud only complicates matter ... that is until Apple implements the solution I first wrote about.
