I want to Use iChat with Skype to Videoconference several people

I want to video conference in my niece in New Zealand (PC using Skype) with iChat and the rest of my Mac family stateside.
I have Skype for Mac running and I have the iChat AV running. Any chance to hook in the Skype User with the iChat multi-pane video conference?
It looks like iChat only accepts iChat and AIM but not Skype. My niece apparently cannot get AIM in New Zealand.
Any clever help would be appreciated.

I want to use iChat for Skype as well. I want one chat client for all my communications. That was the point of iChat in the beginning, wasn't it? Hopefully, Apple will jump on the ball and support the best way for us common folk to communicate internationally. The supported Aim when they were king, why not the new king?
I stinks that I can not use the great app, because one no Skype but two I don't know anyone else that uses .mac.

Apple ID security issues -
Account security issues almost always require you to speak directly to an Apple representative to securely establish your identity as the account holder. You can set it up so that Apple calls you, either immediately or at a time convenient to you.
1. Go to http://www.apple.com/support/appleid/
2. Choose Contact Support and click Contact Us

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.

Query off of Oracle using WinSql - Need help with query

I am trying to query off of Oracle using program WinSql.
I have a table(tticpr200110) that has the following sample data:
ITEM     CODE     T$AMNT
23500076 ACL     .0049
23500076 APM     0
23500076 APO     .0093

23500076     0.0049     0     0.0093     0.0001     0.0072
(actually I need the last 2 columns added together to be MATL-but can deal with that down the road).
Seems simple enough, but I don't know to put into the columns.
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated as soon as possible would be even better.

My table - tticpr200110 when it runs I get the following sample data for part number 23500076:
The first coloumn ITEM is the part number.
The second column CODE is 1 of 5 different cost codes
The third column is the cost for that code for that part.
ITEM CODE AMNT

23500076 APO 0.0093
23500076 EXP 0.0001
23500076 RES 0.0072
I want to make a query that makes the data look like this:
ITEM ACL APM APO EXP RES
23500076 0.0049 0.0000 0.0093 0.0001 0.0072
(similar to a pivot table in excel or acess)
I hope this helps better.

Problem with ichat, need help reinstalling.

Hey guys, I'm new to mac so I need a little help.
I did something last night to my comp and I'm not sure what it was. But when I click on the iChat icon it just comes up with a ? I search in spotlight and it's not there. I must have deleted it while getting rid of some other things. I don't have time machine and I need some help reinstalling. When I bought the mac it had Tiger and I still have those disc, but right now I have upgraded to Leopard. Where can I find iChat to reinstall? I looked on the iLife section of the Tiger discs but I couldn't find it. Any info will help.
Thanks

update
I downloaded pacifist and got ichat to reinstall from my Tiger 10.4.9 disc, however, now when I try to open iChat it says, You cannot use the application “iChat” with this version of Mac OS X. I have leopard 10.5.2. Does anyone know how to update the version I have? I use the mac updater but it doesn't find anything.

Web Conferencing Using JTAPI - Need help

Hi,
I have to work on "Web Conferencing" application, but i don't have any idea how this can be done in Java.
I heard that, JTAPI can be used for this purpose.
Please tell me anyone, is it possible to do Conferencing type of application using JTAPI.
If so what are the Requirements for that?
Do we need to use any specific kind of telephone devices??+
Give me some idea how to begin with this, and any source where i can get all the details about this.
Thanks for any help.....
Thanks,
Sharath

Take a look at the SIP servlet projects such as Sailfin if you want to deal with traditional PSTN.

I have an apple account which I use for shopping, now I want to use ichat, there is no option to do so, and trying to create a new account, I put my email address and tells me that the email already discharged with another account at Apple, is there any w

What I need to do?

Hi,
Reading between the line I think you are trying to Register for an @Mac.com name.
You NEED another email address to do this.
However it needs to be one that is not already associated with any Apple ID already (You can't create an Apple ID using another Apple ID)
Secondly due to a restriction at the AIm Server End (it will be a Vlaid AIM Screen Name) the password has to be 16 characters or less.
If you register at AIM they ask for another email (aimed at Password recovery and confirmation email) but it is not Hard Linked like the @mac.com one.
Obviously an @Me.com name is also a Valid AIM name but again the password needs to be 16 characters or less.
ANy other Apple ID will not be a Valid AIM scree Name unless you register it.
It may work in iChat if it is a Googlemail ID (As a GoogleTalk ID) - you have to enable Talk on your Google Account settings, at Google.

Just bought used MBP, need help registering Mountain Lion

Hi guys, I'm very new to the Apple community. I recently bought a used Macbook Pro (October 2011) on eBay, the seller tells me that in order to actually use this computer, I need an Apple ID and have bought/downloaded Mountain Lion.
I want to get this all sorted out before I recieve my MBP in the mail. Here's my problem, I have obviously made an Apple ID, however I can't seem to buy and download Mountain Lion on this site......I'm using a PC laptop currently. I don't have access to any other Mac computer to buy a copy of Mountain Lion (if that even is the correct terminology) in the meantime.
Is this whole process even necessary? What should I do?
Thanks,
Devin B

With Apple's new delivery system of the OS and the new licensing requirements to go along with it, it has become ridiculously confusing. Have the seller use Internet Recovery and do the following: boot holding down Command + Option + R to get to Disk Utility. Wipe the drive. Reinstall Mac OS - using the internet recovery will reinstall the original system (whereas using the regular recovery will reinstall the current system), so he must use the internet recovery. Shut down computer when it is either done installing, but just before the setup screen comes on. You can boot up and set it up using your own ID. Later, you can buy Mountain Lion and install it. This should work (no guarantees though - the "official" way from Apple is for the seller to contact iTunes and un-register his license in an email to them advising them that you will be buying it). That info is from a senior advisor at Apple.
With all this, remind the seller to also deauthorize the computer in iTunes.

Web Guy Using Swing - Need Help With jComboBox

I'm new to doing desktop Java development (come from a web application background) and am trying to accomplish migrating some of a web application's functionality to a desktop app for distribution. I'm already a bit stuck when it comes to using the jComboBox. What is intuitive to me in the web world would be to have one combo box/select box that after making a selection, it returns it's value so I could use that to run another query that would populate the next drop down menu. Populating the display of the combo box isn't the problem, that seems easy enough, but what I so far can't find is how I can attach a value to the combo box; that is for instance, having the drop down show a list of country names, and needing to have that list of country names correspond to a country code. For the web, you'd just have the option value tied to the code and the contents of the option be the name.
Is this do-able? Am I completely thinking about this in the wrong way when working in desktop GUI things? I am using NetBeans 6.0 for my GUI layout and such, don't know if that helps or hurts matters. Also currently using Java 1.5.
Any information or points in the right direction are greatly appreciated.
Cheers.

If I understand you correctly, you need to have a class that holds country name and country code, with a toString override method that returns just the country name (this is what the combobox shows). You then put an array of these objects in your jcombobox, obtain the selected object, get it's country code, and you're off and running.

I want to use iChat to deliver video lecture. How?

I'm a part time graduate school prof who wants to give a lecture from the comfort of my office. Can I deliver it thru iChat so that anyone can see me? I don't need to see them, but they need to see me. If they have windos, can they do it through AIM?

Can't use Qmaster; need help

Hi all,
I've read all the recent threads here and I've tried everything everyone has suggested but Qmaster is still not working for me. Here's my setup:
* Quad G5 with OS X 10.4.4 with all updates (incl. QT 7.1)
* Intel Mac mini; OS same as above
* Final Cut Studio 5.1 on G5
* Qmaster alone on mini
* connected via switch on same subnet
I tried the quick setup guide and it didn't work. Jobs get processed but only by the controller.
I've tried setting up a manual cluster using Qadministrator but have the same problem: on the mini, the icon in the toolbar flashes green but then goes back to grey and the job is processed on the G5.
I used Media Manager in FCP to copy all the media and the sequence to a network share that the mini had access to (read and write). I then exported the sequence from FCP as a refernce movie to the same location. I specified that Compressor should never copy the source. I also made sure the setting in Compressor didn't require to FCP to be installed on all the nodes.
When that didn't work, I opened the Qmaster preferences and set the cluster storage to be the same network share; I'm not sure if that's neccessary.
I've just about given up with Qmaster. I've tried everything I can think of and tried all the tips here with no luck at all. I'd much appreciate any advice.
Regards,
fh

Fergus,
I am also new on this thing. I also encountered problems which are not yet answered in this forum. I am continuing to fix it though. On the other hand, I was able to successfully set up my Qmaster. This is what I did:
1. Make sure that FIREWALL is disabled to all computers.
2. Make sure all computers have the application, i.e. Shake, installed.
3. If you have Compressor in your system. Make sure that Apple Qmaster apps have the same version with the Compressor App.
4. Set up one computer as a Cluster controller. Go to it's systems prefs > Apple Qmaster. Enable "Services and Controller Cluster". Make sure you have checked the "Managed" option in the Services. The click "Start Sharing". If you have enabled the sharing before, you may want to reset it first by pressing "Option" button, the "Start Sharing" button will be converted to "Reset Services".
5. Set up your other computers a service nodes. Go to it's systems prefs > Apple Qmaster. Enable "Services Only" option. If you have enabled the sharing before, you may want to reset it first by pressing "Option" button, the "Start Sharing" button will be converted to "Reset Services".
6. Get back to your Computer hosted as a cluster controller. Open Apple Qadministrator. Then create a new cluster. You should be able to see now that names of the service nodes in the "Qmaster Service Browser". Add them, to the Cluster you've just made.
7. When your finished, click on "Apply."
8. Open "Apple Qmaster" application to the computer where you want to submit a job. You should be able to see now the name of the cluster you've made on the "Submit to" field.
9. Add a job, say Shake, by clicking on the sign or drag and drop the shake script in the Apple Qmaster field.
10. Double click on the submitted job. And make sure you have the correct path for your shake application in the shake field. Something like this: /Applications/Shake/shake.app/Contents/MacOS/shake
11. Click "OK".
12. Click "Submit".
13. If you followed it correctly. You should be able to see the processing of your submitted jod in the "Batch Monitor" window.
Hope it helps.
Cheers!

Migrating from Eclipse/Ant/MyFaces Trinidad to using JDeveloper--need help

I recently downloaded JDeveloper 11.1.1.2.0. Several years ago, I used JDev to do some very simple JSP/servlet development with no formal framework. Times have changed a lot.
For the past few years, I have been developing server-side Java web apps using Eclipse JEE and Ant (ie, everything is set up so that the developer does not depend on the IDE). We currently implement web apps using Apache MyFaces Trinidad JSF components (but not Facelets). Any developer here can check out our code and simply run Ant to build the projects--no need to even have Eclipse installed. Anyone here can build and develop with a text editor and Ant, if they prefer.
I am impressed and yet overwhelmed by the robust functionality of the latest JDev--so impressive, but I feel almost a bit too removed from "seeing" what is going on in the code and deployment. I like the notion of drag-and-drop along with wizards, but I want to also know how the JDev project is set up manually; ie, where everything goes, without having to guess on this. I get the impression that I need to learn, very specifically, the framework of ADF. But unfortunately, the tutorials seem to focus on only using the wizards and drag-drop functionality.
For example, how do I set up JDev to build a project only by running Ant using my properties files and build.xml? This is trivial to do in Eclipse by specifying the Project Builder. Is there some similar setting I can use in JDev?
Is there full compatibility with Trinidad--didn't Oracle make the original Trinidad?
Has anyone posted advice on migrating from Eclipse JEE to JDev?
Sorry if this is an old set of questions; if I had known where to search for this information, I would not be posting this thread.
Many thanks!
Mike Quentel

The basic steps for bringing your existing code into JDeveloper are:
Import->WAR File - or alternatively create a new application and in it create a new projects->project from existing source
The next couple of steps have to do with setting the project properties:
Then you need to set up your project content path (specifically things like Web content and resources content)
Then you need to add the jars/libraries in your project classpath and libraries.
A few related link:

http://blogs.oracle.com/shay/2009/02/using_trinidad_in_jdeveloper_1.html - Using trinidad in JDeveloper
Also don't forget that you can now set your JDeveloper accelerators to be based on Eclipse key mapping - might make the migration easier.

Photoshop Elements 7 folder layer doesn't wanted to collapse. Need help!

Hi all,
Recently i purchased a catalog online, it is under .psd format and i assumed that everything is covered in layer which is editable.
Not until then i downloaded and most of the content are under folder. Others work fine which i saw in internet tutorial which just only double click on it and they will show a drop down box.
But in PSE7 , it doesn't. Instead, they asked me to rename it.
I screenshot them and please refer below.
I am working on window 7 OS btw

Photoshop elements doesn't normally allow users to open, close or edit layer groups (layer sets), which are usually made in the full version of photoshop ( i.e. cs6 or cc2014)
If you notice the pencil icon with slash to the right of the folder name in the layers panel means that layer group is not editable in pse 7.
If you want to edit the layer groups you might use this action from over on elements village:
Opening layer sets in PSE7 - Elements Village
Or check out Elements+
Ungrouping Layers

Using PrintJob need help

Sup guys,
I have a question regarding how to use PrintJob class. Here is what I am trying to do, I am writing a simple gui app that takes the values from users and stores how many labels users want into a array.
So I get all the labels in the array and now I want to print them out of the array on the printer.
Two things, how dose someone go about setting up a PrinterJob so it reads the values from array and then sends it to the printer?
Also since I am printing labels this will be printed on a certain format. Now I use word to print these labels and they have a code in the word for it 5267, so I am not sure how I can get the program to print in that format so the labels come lined up correctly on the label sheet.
Is there another class in java that lets me import the word document and read the format and then somehow use that as a blueprint for what dimensions to use when printing?
Sorry, I am new to java so I am trying to figure out how these classes work and how to connect them together to get the program to do what I want.
Thanks for any help

Lovac,
You should read more about Swing. There is a class called java.awt.print.PrintJob
for example
the method below will print the printable component; so your label should be layed on a printable component ( any component which implement Printable interface
such as you an have a class called MyJPanel which extends JPanel and implements the interface Printable;
example below show a printjob usage;
public void printData() {
          try {
               PrinterJob prnJob = PrinterJob.getPrinterJob();
               prnJob.setPrintable(m_panel); // the m_panel extends JPanel and implements Printable interface
               if (!prnJob.printDialog())
                    return;
               setCursor( Cursor.getPredefinedCursor(
                    Cursor.WAIT_CURSOR));
               prnJob.print();
               setCursor( Cursor.getPredefinedCursor(
                    Cursor.DEFAULT_CURSOR));
               JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(this,
                    "Printing completed successfully",
                    APP_NAME, JOptionPane.INFORMATION_MESSAGE);
          catch (PrinterException e) {
               e.printStackTrace();
     }Please take a look at java tutorial at http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/ui/features/index.html as a starting point
