Why is iChat shutting down when trying to video-conference with Windows?

My friend and I are trying to video-conference.
I use an iBook G4, with an iSight.
My friend uses a HP Pavilion ZV5000.
For some reason, my iChat shuts down when it's connecting.
It'll connect for one second and then, my iChat will close.
I don't see what's wrong :(!
Help me, please!
iBook G4   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

Hi Bill,
Yes I saw that kellyRAWR mentioned that they were using AIM.
And Tony explained about the AIM 5.9 issue.
I was merely offering another option that she may not know about, since the AIM->iChat is flaky at best.
Respectfully,
SimplyMac.

  • Mail Shuts Down when trying to Open Email with movie

    Just recently Mail is shutting down when I try to open an email with attached movie. When I mail again, the email is still there with the blue dot.
    I found one document suggesting a Java..Cocoa plug in may be the culprit but no luck.
    Any ideas?
    Any assistance very much appreciated.

    Am I the only one having troubles with Apple Mail?
    As I said, when I go to open an email that has a movie (.wmv) attached it shuts mail down. Must be a record if I am the only one encountering this problem.
    Any one? Any ideas?

  • Palm Desktop shuts down when trying to view calendar by month

    I'm using a Palm TX with the latest edition of Desktop installed (I think that's 6.2).  Everything is normal except, suddenly, I cannot view my calendar in monthly view.   Daily, weekly and yearly all work fine.  Desktop shuts down when trying to view in monthly view.  I did a system restart, a Desktop reinstallation, a download of the latest version and installation of that version and, finally, uninstallment of the existing Desktop, download of the newest version and installation of that version.  Nothing seems to enable me to view the calendar in monthly view.  This is a spontaneous event.  I've been running Desktop on a Vista Ultimate system since February without incident.  I have no idea about how to solve this.
    Thanks
    Post relates to: Palm TX

    Well, here's where we are now.  It's a good thing that I have desktop on my office computer because when I tried a Hotsynch with my home desktop, Hotsynch wiped out all the data on my handheld and then hung up both the handheld and desktop in the middle of the Hotsynch.  I'm going to overwrite the entire handheld with the office desktop file.  As for the home setup, I'm thinking the only thing I can do now is uninstall Palm and wipe out the entire directory of files.  Am I correct about this?  Do I need to do a clean uninstall?

    The first error has nothing to do with Photoshop - that's some .NET application.
    The second error is most likely connected to a third party plugin or driver.
    And you're running Photoshop CC (14.x) instead of the current Photoshop CC 2014 (15.x).

  • Soundtrack Pro Shuts down when trying to fix analized Action

    Soundtrack Pro Shuts down when trying to fix analized Action

    Thanks, I'll have to give that a try if there isn't an easier answer out there somewhere. If I pull the card will I have to reload the software and drivers?
    If my project is saved and I have a copy of the project saved will I be able to reload Adobe without losing anything? What I mean is will I be able to just import my whole project once reloaded?
    I just don't understand what could have happened, since I was doing this with no problem a couple of days ago.
    Thanks for your help, it's greatly appreciated.

  • Can anyone answer why photoshop CS3 shuts down when I use the scanner?

    Can anyone help me with why photoshop CS3 shuts down when I use the scanner? I recently upgraded to OS X Yosemite.

    Ask in the PS forum and be much more specific. You have not provided exact system information, crash logs, scanner details. That said, this may be a compatibility issue that can't be overcome.

  • My mac shut down when trying to download Combined Mac OS X- update

    I recently bought Mac OS X Snow Leopard version 10.6.3, after installing the software I have also updated the software updates from my apple menu.
    The Combined Mac OS X update 10.6.8 is the only update that will not download and my mac shut down my mac when its halfway downloaded. I notice that my mac/processor got extremely hot, so I thought this is the reason why the mac shut down. But even my mac is cold when I start, it still shut down half way in the downloading process and today the mac was also hot, but not as hot as last time as I started when it had not been in use.
    Why is this happening? is it because the processor gets to hot or is it that my mac cannot download this?
    I have even tried putting the mac in the window so it gets cold air, even near the freezer, it helps thew mac not getting too hot, but it still shut down, so I start to wonder if its something wrong other than its too hot??
    What can I do? because I read that this download is recommended for all who has Snow Leopard and its necessary for the mac to be ready to upgrade to Mac OS X Lion.
    My mac did not get so fast hot when I used Mac OS X Tiger version 10.4.9/10.4.11

    Ok that is good to hear though. I followed your link and first I got this message twice : "activation failed ". I tried again third time after filling up more quota to use and I thought it was going to be finish downloading, I am so disappointed my mac shut down only 4 minutes before it would be totally finish. Only a minute and it would be finish. I just have to try again.
    I wonder something that worries me, every time a download fail does this mean I am wasting my quota I have paid for? does the quota goes in the trash so I have to buy more and more quota?
    How can I know how much quota I have left to use, so I can be safe downloading without worrying buying more quota? is there a way to know this?
    Is quota the same as disk space available?

  • ITunes shuts down when trying to play video

    My iTunes software shuts down when I try to play a video from my iTunes Library or from the iTunes Store site. I have backed up the library and have tried to reinstall iTunes, but when I did the entire library reappeared and the same problem exists. My Quicktime does work and iDVD, too, with home movies, other online streaming and DVDs, So I'm sure that the problem is with iTunes.
