What accounts are used for video iChat between two Macs?

I need to set up video iChat between a 10.6.8 Snow Leopard laptop and a 10.5.8 iMac.  The machines are not on the same network.  I have read all the posts and the help for iChat but the explanations of accounts are confusing.  What accounts can be used for Mac-to-Mac video chat and how do we set them up?

Hi,
AIM or Jabber.
AIM valid accounts include any @mac.com ID (Lapsed, paid for (originally) or a Trial account) Any @me.com account that was linked to iCloud at the change to iCloud from MobileMe. And of course any @icloud.com ID.
If you have an Apple ID that started as one of these and "Migrated" to the other services other the years and is linked for Email they will work as separate IDs/Valid Screen Names with the AIM servers.
Effectively this then works Mac to Mac in Messages or iChat.
Jabber IDs.
Many servers http://www.jabberes.org/servers/ (this is only some and the site also list many that are Off line)
Also Google run what was called the GoogleTalk server which means Google Mail IDs can be used as Jabber IDs
Facebook run a separate Chat ID/Server which you have to sign up for at Facebook.
AS most server are what is called "Federated" you can add Jabber Buddies form one server to a Buddy List of another.
Therefore you may have a Google Buddy list as such but you can add Facebook Buddies  or other Buddies on other Jabber servers.
Audio and Video Chat are Mac to Mac.  You cannot Video or Audio chat to Web Browser login even if the Browser has the video plugin for that service  (Basically web browser to web browser chat require the Video plugin for that service/server).
FaceTime will not work.
You can download FaceTime for the Snow Leopard Computer as it is an Intel only app.
However it cannot be downloaded for the Leopard computer.
Summary.
You may have IDs that will work in iChat 4 and 5 already (Apple IDs as AIM Names or Googlemail or Facebook IDs)
Chats are then Mac to Mac (and also AIM to AIM or Jabber to Jabber but not AIM to Jabber).
iChat will allow you also to do Screen Sharing as well as Audio Only chats

    4.what accounts are generated for Non-Valuated material & for Consignment material?
    please explain me.

    Dear Srinivas,
    Please find below the explanation about both materials in a simple manner.
      "Non valuated material".(UNBW):
    For this material type in the basic settings only Qty. update is active & no value update.
    No accounting data is maintained in Material master hence stock values are not updated.This material is procured only with account assignment.
    Consumption statistic is updated only after Goods Issue.Whenever material will come its value will be always go to consumption account.
    Consignment Material :
    In this case material is still owned by vendor & only kept in your premises. Liability only starts when you withdraw material from consignment stock or post it to your own valuated stock.Liabilities are generally settled monthly.
    At GR wrt PO material is directly put to consignment stock of vendor.It is possible to post another GR into consignment stock.No valuation takes place during GR.
    Once the material is withdrawn from consignment stock( For prod) it is valuated with the price of vendor in as per INFO record.
    If useful reward points,

  • What ports are used for handshaking signals?

    I want to use Handshaking Digital I/O on an AT-MIO-16DE-10, and I want to know if there are extra digital I/O lines used for this, or if there are independant handshaking connections. I can't seem to find any documentation which warns that you can only get 7 bits out of a port if you use handshaking. Or you can only use ports 2,3,4 because port 0 is used for the handshaking signals.
    Any hints would be appreciated.

    Great, actually, I found this information, and would like to re state my question. Now that I know what ports I should be using (this is described in detail in the hardware manual for the E series), I would like to see some definite information about what I must do in my external device to make use of these signals.
    I'm a little confused by some comments in the documentation that some of the facilities of Port C (on the 8255) are only avialable if I use register level commands (as if using the parallel port). If I use the DIG_Prt_Config and set to handshaking (input) on a port, then I assume I set up my external hardware as if Port C was in Mode 1(input), and then follow the timing described in the E Series manual.
    It's just a shame that everything o
    n the PC side is well described, but there are no application notes that I can find about building an external device that can use the handshaking signals.
    If 'you' (anyone) can confirm what my assumptions, or point me in the right direction, I would appreciate it greatly.
    Thank you.

  • Anyone know what these are used for??

    Hi All,
         I am putting together some documentation for a CUP implemenation and I have come accross three configuration options in CUP that I have no idea what they pertain to and I can't find any documenation on them.
    1.  What is the "SAP EP LDAP" connection type used for?
    2.  What are SOD Review Process Rejected and UAR Review Process Rejected background jobs used for?

    About "What are SOD Review Process Rejected and UAR Review Process Rejected background jobs used for?", I just talked to an SAP person today to explained to me that this is a job your sec admin would run for example in a UAR review when a particular user in a request had been "rejected" (e.g. "this person doesn't work for me, so I need to reject him so he can get sent to the right mgr").   When the reviewer (mgr) rejects the user, then the admin figures out based on the reason (e.g. changed jobs, terminated, etc) what action to take.  For instance may be to cancel the request for termination.  If the user has changed jobs, then the sec admin would need to go to the LDAP (or whatever source you use) to fix up the mgr<->employee relationship info, then run this "Process Rejected" job.  The rejected user will then be put into a new request, and the rest of the original request can be processed by the 1st mgr.   I haven't tried all this yet, but sounded reasonable to me...

  • Using a common library between two Mac accounts

    My wife and I are using our first Mac and taking/organizing pictures is a passion for both of us. Aperture is proving to be a great product, but one failing thus far is our ability to use a common Aperture library that we can use from both of our Mac accounts.
    I have placed our Aperture Library in a shared folder and updated the permission on this library file (package actually) and all its enclosed files to allow Read/Write for both of our accounts. While each of our accounts can launch Aperture and view the pictures, once an edit is made, thumbnails regenerated, new pictures uploaded, etc..., Aperture keeps changing the file permissions on the underlying files (like the thumbnail file) to Read/Write only to the current account and Read to the staff/everyone group. Essentially, any previous permissions that I may have added are wiped away by Aperture . The primary effect of this is that the thumbnails basically disappear when being viewed from the other account (i.e., they are all gray).
    Does anyone know a workaround for this problem? It seems like there should be a way to tell Aperture to use the default permissions assigned to its Aperture Library package. Any help would be most appreciated since my only "workaround" thus far is to always use Aperture from one of our accounts.

    Well, I believe you are correct with the native OS; however, there was a nifty little workaround that seems to be the fit I was looking for:
    1. I created a new Image that will store the Aperture Library with "no ownership"
    2. I set the permissions on the resulting .dmg file to Read&Write for me, my wife, everyone, and staff.
    3. I moved my existing Aperture Library file onto the new image.
    4. I created the following AppleScript and saved it as an "Application" type (which launches when you click it)
    -- We must unmount (detach) the AperturePhotos image in order
    -- to make sure the launcher of Aperture is the one who mounts the disk image.
    -- This way, the launcher becomes the "owner" of the image and all files are Read/Write to owner
    tell application "Finder"
    if (exists "AperturePhotos") then
    do shell script "hdiutil detach /Volumes/AperturePhotos"
    end if
    do shell script "hdiutil attach /Users/Shared/ApertureImage.dmg"
    end tell
    -- Simply launch Aperture after mounting the Aperture Image
    tell application "Aperture"
    activate
    end tell
    5. Changed the icon of the AppleScript file to the Aperture Icon and place this script in the Dock
    6. Changed the Aperture preferences to find the library on the new volume.
    What this now does for me is automatically unmounts and remounts the disk image as the person launching Aperture and therefore becomes the owner of the files while using the app. It works just like I wanted. Hopefully, I will not run into any snags along the way .
    Thanks again for your help.

  • HT6160 What ports are used for Apple Configurator to function with IPads?

    Need to know what ports need to be allowed for Apple Configurator to function.

    Apple Configurator runs locally on an OS X computer. It requires a USB connection. So no ports required for connecting Configurator to iPads.
    However, there are some ports that need to be opened for iPads to work with Apple's server if you are behind a firewall. Here is a list of known TCP and UDP ports used by Apple software products: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT6175?viewlocale=en_US
    To use iPads behind a firewall (Configurator or not), you'll want to definitely open 5223 for Apple Push Notification and the standard ports for HTTP/HTTPS (80 and 443). If you're using an MDM, you will likely need to open 2195 and 2196 as well.  If you still have issues port watch and see what an iPad does when trying to get to the store.
    Hope this answers your question!

  • How can I find out what account was used for a Game Center ID?

    I have multiple iPhones in my family.  I have an Apple ID with a Game Center account.
    My son also has a phone with a Game Center account.
    I recently swapped phones around when I got the iPhone 4S.  Also, we upgraded all of the phones in the house to iOS5.
    I think as part of that process, all of the previous log in info was wiped.
    Now, my son wants to log back in to his Game Center account, but we can't figure out what Apple ID we used?
    I've tried the find my Apple ID links with no avail.
    I know what his Game Center handle is... is there a way to track it via that ID?
    Help!
    Thanks

    Nevermind... I figured it out.  I just had to log in with the Game Center ID and it worked.
    Thanks anyway.

  • What resources are used for "create index" ?

    In the context of creating an index on a heavily loaded table....
    What Oracle resources are consumed>? Any caches or buffers? Sort files? Temp Tables?
    (trying to speed up an index create)

    Like any other read/write database activities, CREATE INDEX uses blocks in the buffer cache. If your table is large, I would recommend increase your buffer cache.
    No temporary tables is used as far as I know. There are no sort files in Oracle. Temporary tablespace may be used because sorting is generally needed when creating an index, but I am not sure about that.
    When creating a index, Oracle creates a temporary segment in your permanent tablespace: if the CREATE INDEX fails, the temporary segment is removed. If the CREATE INDEX succeeds, the temporary segment is made permanent.

  • What font is used for Layer palette PS CS1 Mac?

    I have a render issue with Photoshop CS (8.0).
    The font used to show the layer and action names is wrong (see below)
    Does anybody know what font should be applied to this text? Then I can check if that font is installed correctly.
    For now it seems that all fonts that should be in OSX 10.6 are present.
    The problems started when I removed HelveticaNeue.dfont and installed the complete Helvetica Neue Open Type set (all 40+ weights instead of the cripled Apple set).

    Says it all in the subject line.

    quite! "dot mac" was definitely better. "mobile me" means nothing. even pronouncing it is more difficult than "dot mac". I think, it's all geared to the iPhone- I don't mind, as long as apple continues to produce quality rather than cheap quantity)

  • How to use 1 time capsule between two macs

    We have a mac and a mac book pro. How do we separate them on my time capsule so they dont share caledars, address books, etc?

    Ok, isn't there a setting to set a password for your calendar?
    But try this: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2513?viewlocale=en_EN#
    Check 'public your calendar'
    Apple says that you HAVE TO PUBLISH your calendar. So I think that it isn't shared by default.
    Check if you calendar is shared or not.
    So I think that you son isn't able to sync your calendar, because you need 'account informations' to sync/connect an iPhone with a calendar.
    And you SYNC your data and don't make backups on time capsule?
    Because if you make backups from your mac and if you have protected your mac-account with a passwort, he can't access your data.

  • What techniques are used to create these images?

    The artist who created the pictures shown on the links below uses Photoshop. Does anyone know what tools are used for this?

    Did you click on each of those images to see them reach full size in Flash animation?
    Here are crops from the bottles and cell phones at 100% resolution:
    The Flash zoom-out and zoom-in animation is done in programming the code of the web page, as you can see by "Inspecting the Element" on the web browser page:
    I cannot give you any further information or assistance, as I don't deal with web programming.
    As far as I can tell, the "technique" used here is pretty straight forward: 
    Take a picture with a digital camera, then program the web page to repeat the image a bunch of times and display the zooming in and out in Flash animation.
