(1) FaceTime cannot work with iChat.
*FaceTime ONLY works with other FaceTimes*:
• iPhone 4 http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/facetime/
• iPod touch Gen4 http://www.apple.com/support/ipodtouch/facetime/
• FaceTime (beta) on iNtel Mac w/OS X 10.6.4 or later http://www.apple.com/mac/facetime/
*FaceTime works with _NO OTHER_ app from Apple, Skype, or anyone else*.
(2) You do not tell us which imac you use, so we cannot give a yes or no answer to your question about whether it is possible to use ichat *_on your mac_* to communicate with someones iPod or iPhone with facetime.
The answer to your question is yes, FaceTime is possible, but *ONLY IF* your Mac is an iNtel Mac that is using Snow Leopard (OS X 10.6.4 or later) with the FaceTime beta application software.

Does Facetime work with iChat?

I want to video from our house MAC to my kids iTouch 4th gen (which has Facetime). How do I set up this relationship? OR will I have to use Skype to accomplish video chat?

iChat does not connect to FaceTime.
Easiest way to video with iPod touch iOS4.1 is to get a matching iPod touch and activate FaceTime on it. If you already have iPhone4, you can use it instead of the second iPod touch.
How do I set up this relationship?

Skype will video chat between computers, but not with iPod Touch or iPhone.

Will facetime work with my iCloud aliases?

Hi,
I've created a few aliases under my main iCloud email adress. I have been trying to add them to my Facetime list of emails so that I can be contacted. However, after attempting to activate my aliases from Facetime, I get an error message.
Could someone please kindly advice me on this matter?
Cheers,
Daryl

This is my current setup:
Created new iCloud account through iPhone by selecting Setting> iCloud
Chose to create a new account with an @me.com address, let's call it [email protected]
Then I went to iCloud.com>Mail, and created a new alias. It is my only alias, let's call it [email protected]
On the iPhone:
Settings>Facetime, I type in [email protected], and it's respective password.
The next screen is a screen that displays the above email address, and displays a Next button which I press.
A checkmark is displayed and a new screen appears.
This new screen displays the FaceTime slider showing that it is on. My AppleID is displayed.
Under "You can be reached for video calls at">"Add An Email", I enter [email protected]
As soon as I press the return key, an error pops up:
FaceTime Activation
An error occurred while verifying your email.
The verification process doesn't go through. Not even when I try to 'Resend Validation Email' when I tap the Error'd [email protected] email area.

Which USB Webcams will work with iChat?

Hi,
I'm new to these forums and am wanting to get a webcam, but iSights are no longer available and I don't have the interest or money to get a DV Camcorder.
So which USB webcams will work with iChat?
I take it I'll also have to purchase iChatUSBcam or whatever it's called.
Thanks
Iain

Hi Iain:
There is a list of cams on their website:

The only USB cam that doesn't require iChatUSBCam is the iMage.

As long as you both have Wi-Fi.

What is best mobile platform/os that will work with iChat? (pda/phone?)

hey dudes,
i was looking for a new smart phone that could use or work with some type of iChat client?
can anyone suggest a phone/pda that works well for them?
the 3 phones i have shortlisted so far are Treo 700p (but it isn't available in the UK yet), Nokia N-series phones, N92 or N93 maybe?
or as a last resort the HP hw6515 with GPS and wi-fi...
is working with iChat even possible?
thanks dudes!

USB Camera does not work with iChat

Hello,
I'm having a terrible time getting my ToUcam Pro II to work with iChat. I downloaded the iUSBcam program. That didn't work. I downloaded the program Macam, and copied the proper file into the Quicktime Library (as suggested) and that didn't work. I downloaded IOXwebcam, and got an error stating that it wouldn't run due to the fact that it didn't have the proper security settings. Sigh.
So... what am I to do?
I'd like to buy a webcam that does, actually, work with my 8 month old Mac Pro 4 core mac desktop, but the iSight camera is ridiculously expensive. Any other suggestions would be appreciated.
Brad

An X-box 360 cam will do it although not in that list.
Anything that is USB 2.0 and marked UVC compliant or Vista Certified.
Be Aware some Mac Keyboards do not have USB 2.0 ports.

How do I Get My Router to Work With iChat ? FAQ 2

Replaces iCh: FAQ 2 How to get my router to work with iChat?
Getting your router started with iChat.
Appropriate for using iChatAV 2 upwards
Glossary for this FAQ
Routers: Any configurable device that sits between your computer and the internet link you have.
Routers seem to fall into two categories
Those that work straight from the box. See Apple Doc 93333
NOTE
This Doc has not been updated since Jan 04
and those that do not.
This post will deal with what you may need to look at.
First off make sure your device is acting as a DHCP server. (if you are already on the internet you may not have to bother with this.)
Check in the Network Preference Pane, in the "Built in Ethernet" option from the "Show" drop down list.
Make sure the TCP/IP tab is the 'front' one. You should be able to see Configure IPv4 and it most likely reads Using DCHP. Make a note of your IP address. It will start 10.xxx.xxx.xxx or 192.168.xxx.xxx (the 'x' s will stand for any number between 1 and 255).
Your router is most likely to be configurable from your browser. You will need to find the IP address to type into the browser from any Readme or PDF files that came on the install disk or visit the makers website and download a manual.
DMZ Demilitarised Zone
This is a less secure setting that basically opens all ports and points the incoming data to your computer. (not helpful if you have more than one computer on your LAN)
NAT Sometimes called NAPT and related to Port Forwarding (also Virtual Server or Pin Holes)
These settings are usually found in an Advanced setting.
You will need to set an incoming IP address (Usually 0.0.0.0 for any outside server), a port that data will arrive on, the Inside computers IP address (your computer) and the port it will deal with the data on and the protocol it will use.
iChat uses TCP and UDP so some devices will need the settings done twice, once for each protocol.
See Apple Doc 93208 for more information.
Note:
Note 1 should read:
1. All iChat AV traffic is UDP except for ports 5190 and 5298, which need to be open for both TCP and UDP; and 5220, 5222, which need to be open for TCP only.
UPnP Universal Plug n Play.
This is a simple Plug and Play type of setting. iChat can find it's own way through a router if the device has this capability.
Trigger Ports
Some devices offer a security measure that works by a first or trigger port receiving a data packet and then opening further ports when accepted.
The first port for incoming Video or Audio invites is port 5678. When you click on the invite window the process moves to port 5060 (so these will need to be opened by the trigger port) for negotiating the final group of ports from the group of 20 (16384-16403 These will need to open when the trigger says so as well). Therefore port 5678 triggers ports 5678, 5060, 16384-16403. All on UDP. Port 5190 neeeds to trigger port 5190 for both TCP and UDP
Wireless
Here you will have to read around but this Apple Doc 58514 might be a good starting place.
Multiple devices
Make sure only one is acting as a DHCP server. Make sure wireless devices are bridged properly.

It is British based but I have linked you to the Apple Related Discussions Forum.

iChat uses TCP and UDP so some devices will need the ports listed one by one and some settings done twice, once for each protocol. The example above has a "Both" setting
See Apple Article HT1507 Previously Doc 93208 for more information. This is the Tiger iChat 3 list. The same ports are needed for Leopard except for these changes
My Note 2:
On the first link Note 1 under tables in that link would be better if it read:
" 1. All iChat AV traffic is UDP -
except for ports 5190 and 5298, which need to be open for both TCP as well;
and 5220, 5222, which need to be open for TCP only. "
Note 2
GoggleTalk needs port 5223 on TCP. Also note the Server name for iChat 3 set ups
UPnP Universal Plug n Play.
This is a simple Plug and Play type of setting. iChat can find it's own way through a router if the device has this capability.
By Not doing Port Forwarding, Triggering or DMZ and enabling UPnP the application is allowed to control the modem and the ports that are open.
They close after the application has finished with them on a timed basis.
On some devices the number of "hops" (how far away the UPnP can be "seen") can be reduced from a default of 4)
Trigger Ports
Some devices offer a security measure that works by a first or trigger port receiving a data packet and then opening further ports when accepted.
The first port for incoming Video or Audio invites is port 5678.
Pre iChat 4
When you click on the invite window the process moves in to port 5060 (so these will need to be opened by the trigger port) for negotiating the final group of ports from the group of 20 (16384-16403 These will need to open when the trigger says so as well). Therefore port 5678 triggers ports 5678, 5060, 16384-16403. All on UDP. Port 5190 neeeds to trigger port 5190 for both TCP and UDP.
See this variation where only the ports listed above are completed.
The other single ports need to be set one by one in addition. (5220,5222, 5223 5297, 5298, 5353)Replace
iChat 4
The port used in IChat 4 is port 16402 instead of port 5060. The group of 20 ports is reduced to 10 (16393-16402). This is because all the In and Out Audio and Video data is on one port. Other that than the settings are the same.
At this time there is no Info on the ports the Screen Sharing in iChat 4 uses.
Wireless
Here you will have to read around but this Apple Article TA25949 Previously Doc 58514 might be a good starting place.
Essentially whether you are wireless or Ethernet to your routing device makes very little difference to the way you do things.
Your computer will get two IPs from a DHCP server if you are connected by both methods. (iChat does not like this)
Multiple devices
Make sure only one is acting as a DHCP server. Make sure wireless devices are bridged properly.

PC Webcam works with iChat and iSight

Before I purchase a web cam for my PC I need to know if it will work with iChat and iSight. Will I need to install any third party software for my mac or PC?

Hi Gene,
You will need to make a choice between AIM and Trillian
The AIM app is free but does not Audio only Chat to iChat users and has a very small pic.
Trillian costs $25 for the Pro version to Video chat but has a Bigger pic and can do full screen. The Basic version can alos Audio only chat to iChat users. Trillian can also join other IM services.
More info on setting up AIM on the PC http://www.ralphjohnsuk.dsl.pipex.com/page12.html and the XP Service Pack 2 firewall. The Firewall will need to have Trillain enabled though it as well if you use that.

Does the new AIM Triton work with Ichat?

Hi,
Does anyone know if the new AIM Triton works with Ichat AV? I know the Beta version was not working but don't know about the new triton release.
Also, has anyone tried video/audio communication between Trillian and Ichat? Does it work? Is it better than AIM?
Thanks,
Stefano

I have been working with the Triton on a PC and after much research (frustration), I have found this stated on the AIM support site:
http://www.aim.com/helpfaq/startingout/getstarted.adp?aolp=#six
Q: Is AIM Triton compatible with AIM 5.9, AOL 9.0 and iChat?
A: : AIM Triton works seamlessly with AIM 5.9, AOL 9.0 and iChat. You can send and receive instant messages with your buddies using any of these clients. Certain features may not work across all clients at this time. Voice Chat with more than two people only works with other Triton users. Video Chat will work only between two Triton users at this time.
So after reading around, I believe the 5.9 will video to the iChat 3's but I haven't had the time to try. Other posts suggest this to be true. Including many by Ralph.

Hi
Other alternatives based on the amount of info in your post.
Has she set up her Google Name in iChat or is she logged on via the Web Site (Google Mail page) ?
iChat cannot Video to the Google Mail Login page chat option or to the app called GoogleTalk on a PC.
Another thing.
If you login to the GoogleMail Web pages you will get logged out of iChat (GoogleTalk account) to a partial extent which may explain the loss of Video or Audio iCons.
iChat reports in a Text chat window that you have Logged Off.
However you seem to be able to continue the chat - but it separate from the web Page chat - You send from the web page and that chat will get the next response, send from iChat and it gets the next response (I can't remember if the Buddy told me he got two Chat windows at his end)
