Will iChat work with a dialup connection?

I recently handed down my 2nd gen iMac to my father. He only has dialup capability where he lives. Does iChat work on a dialup connection? I have tried Skype and it was terrible. What other options are there if it won't work?

Hi
Yes it should work for text and audio only.
Have him set the Quicktime streaming setting, goto sys prefs/quicktime/streaming/streaming speed, set to 56kbps
In ichats prefs click on video and change bandwidth limit to NONE.
Restart iChat.
And let us know.
Tony

  • I have 23 inch Apple HD Display. Will this work with my MacBook Pro? How shall I connect it?

    I have 23 inch Apple HD Display. Will this work with my MacBook Pro? How shall I connect it?

    yarova818,
    there were two different 23-inch Apple Cinema HD displays made. The first one was made between 2002 and 2004, and has an ADC connector. The second one was made between 2004 and 2008, and has a DVI-D connector.
    If you have the display with an ADC connector, then according to this Apple page, your display will work with your MacBook Pro if it’s a 13-inch or 15-inch model. If you have a first-generation MacBook Pro, you’d need an Apple DVI to ADC Adapter (or equivalent) to connect them. If you have a Unibody or Retina MacBook Pro, then you’d also need a Mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter (or equivalent) to complete the connection. A Retina model would also have the option of using a third-party HDMI to DVI-D adapter to complete the connection with the DVI to ADC adapter.
    If you have the display with a DVI-D connector, then if you have a first-generation MacBook Pro, you should be able to plug it in directly. If you have a Unibody or Retina MacBook Pro, then the Mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter would let you make the connection. Again, Retina models also would have the option of using a third-party HDMI to DVI-D adapter.

  • HT1665 I just purchassed a Lightning adapter for my iPhone 5.  My car came with the normal iphone 4 connector.  I have a protective cover on my phone but now the connector will not work as the lightning connecting tong is not long enough to make contact.

    Lightning adapter will not work with iPhone 5 protective cover

    Your case designer should have done their homework .
    They would have full details of the iPhone and its accessories
    assuming they are a developer status

  • I just bought a new iMac and am ready to purchase Logic Pro X, but I have a Presonus Fire Studio Project with a firewire 400 as my connection.  Will this work with my new iMac?  I purchased the Presonus around 2007.

    I just bought a new iMac 10.9 and am wanting to purchase Logic Pro X. My question is I have a 2007 Presonus Fire Studio Project 8 channel input box that hooks up with firewire 400 I believe, will this work with Logic ProX on my new iMac?

    You will need a Thunderbolt to Firewire adapter... may also need a Firewire 800 to 400 connector/adapter.
    Also need to make sure Presonus has Maverick drivers for the FSP.

  • ITunes will not work with my computer.  iMac G3 processor, OS 10.4.11

    Original message posted about a week ago - I have an iMac, OS is 10.4.11. I just updated my Quicktime software to 7.5, I also updated my iTunes to 8.2.1 (I think, it is definitely higher than 8.0). When I would open up iTunes. I would get this message. (We could not complete your iTunes Store request. The iTunes Store is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later). This was happening before I did the current downloads. I had no trouble about 3-4 weeks ago. I was able to get into the iTunes store and download song. I am pretty annoyed to say the least. Apple makes it so difficult to get information, unless you do endless searches. Trying to contact customer service is a whole other nightmare. They offer this software for free, yet they want you to pay for everything. As you can imagine, I am not happy and venting is helping. So I am hoping there are some other people out there with similar problems who can help. Nothing has been changed or altered on my computer. I have no problem connecting to the internet. No passwords or ID's have been changed. As mentioned I updated my software to the highest, most current software available that my operating system can handle. So if anyone out there knows what is going on, or can help. Please advise. Thanks, from a very frustrated apple user! You can email me direct too <[email protected]>
    Updated message 12/9/10 - I updated my iTunes version to 9.2.1. Now my iTunes will not open. When I do try to open it, It says that this program will only work with G4, and G5 processors. I don't know what to do. I can't afford a new computer right now. Any suggestions???? PLEASE HELP!!I am so frustrated!!! Thanks for your help.

    OK - to answer my own question, Apple recommend 8.2.1, but you can install 9.1.1 and it will run on a G3. Very slowly. Looks like this is the only option. Get it here: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1036. You need OSX 10.4.11 or later though....

  • I have an HP photosmart8250 printer and wondering when I buy a new ipad will it work with that?

    I have an HP photosmart8250 printer and wondering when I buy a new ipad will it work with that?

    There's a list of printers that support AirPrint, the native mechanism for printing from iOS, here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4356
    I don't see the 8250 listed. HP has an app that enables printing to some of their other wireless printers; search the iTunes Store and you should find it as well as some other printing apps. Otherwise you can connect the printer to your computer and route the printing through the computer. f you have a Mac, Printopia might be worth a look:
    http://www.ecamm.com/mac/printopia/
    If you have a Windows system, search the web for something like "airprint Windows hack" and you'll find instructions on enabling printing.
    Another option is an AirPrint-capable print server. Lantronix makes a couple of models, including one that supports a USB printer:

  • I have a new imac with imovie 11 however my hd everio camcorder will only work with imovie 8 or 9 how do i download imovie 9? all i can find are updates and my mac says i don't need it

    i have a new imac with imovie 11 however my everio hd camcorder will only work with imovie 8 or 9. i tried to download imovie 9 but my mac says i don't need the update. How can i download imovie 8 or 9 complete not the update?

    I really appreciate all your help. Today I spent some time on the problem. First I purchased  any video converter from the ap store and then I connected the camera to the mac with the original usb cable that came with the camera. I turned on the camera and selected backup on pc and the logo came up on my home page. I opened it and after several attempts i found the 3 video files that were on the camera. I then converted them from a tod file to mp4 and then transfered  them to imovie. Now I have to figure out how to send the video to youtube or move it to an external hard drive which I have not been able to do. So far I am not too fond of imovie 11. If you could send me  the download for imovie 6 I then could try that route. When talking to apple support yesterday about the problem they suggested to get Final Cut Express. It's 200 bucks so before i order the install disc i would like to try your suggestion. My email address is [email protected] Again I thank you very much for your help! George

  • I have recently switched ISPs and have anew e-mail address but ThunderBird will not work with this address. Have tried tech staff with Bell to no avail

    My old e-mail address was SHAW XXXXX.and worked very well with Thunder Bird mail. I recently switched to new ISP Bell and my new address is XXXXXX However with several attempts with techs ,Thunder Bird will not work with my new ISP. I had to start using Outlook.com and Outlook Express 6 for e-mail,but I really liked Thunder Bird and have numerous e-mails stored in it that I cannot import.
    Outlook Express 6 is outdated and because I am running Windows XP it will not give me a newer version.I find Outlook.com confusing to me. Can you help

  • Will iPODshuffle work with Windows 98 OS

    I received iPODshuffle for Christmas, but I gather that I need to upgrade my computer operating system to WindowsXP. Will it work with Windows 98 OS?
    Thanks,
    Dave
    IBM Thinkpad   Windows 98  

    Hello Dave,
    No. The iPod shuffle (Second Generation) models will
    only work with Windows 2000 or Windows XP
    For more info, you may want to see the iPod shuffle
    Tech Specs, found <fo
    nt color=green>here
    -Kylene
    Furthermore, since the 2nd Gen Shuffle REQUIRES iTunes v7.0.2, here's it's requirement:
    Windows Requirements
    * Windows 2000 Service Pack 4 or later or Windows XP
    * 500 MHz Pentium class processor or better
    * QuickTime 7.1.3 (included)
    * 256MB RAM
    * Supported CD-R or DVD-R drive to burn CDs
    * Broadband Internet connection (DSL/Cable/LAN) for buying and streaming music

  • Time Machine will NOT work with Airport Disks!

    It looks like Time Machine will not work with Airport Disks after all. All references to Airport have been removed from the Time Machine page:
    http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/timemachine.html
    It also specifically says: "You can designate just about any HFS+ formatted FireWire or USB drive connected to a Mac as a Time Machine backup drive. Time Machine can also back up to another Mac running Leopard with Personal File Sharing, Leopard Server, or Xsan storage devices."
    Surely, they would have included the Airport Extreme Base Station in this list if it was supported.
    I really hope there will be another firmware update for the AEBS which will bring compatibility with Time Machine, because Time Machine was the only reason for me to buy an AEBS. (I only use it as a small backup server, I don't even have wireless networking enabled. There were other solutions, e.g. from Synology, which are faster and more reliable than AEBS disk sharing, but Synology stated their network drives would not be compatible with Time Machine.)

    Here's how you can potentially use your AirDisk with TimeMachine (beware that YMMV), but it should work as it works with every other "unsupported" device.
    1) Mount your AirDisk so it appears on your Mac
    2) Open Terminal.app
    3) change directories to the AirDisk's root folder located in "/Volumes"
    ie: cd "/Volumes/AirDisk Name"
    4) execute this command to "bless" the drive to be used with time machine:
    touch .com.apple.timemachine.supported
    5) Start TimeMachine and if all went well, it should recognize your AirDisk drive and use it for TM.
    This should also work on NFS shares, SMB shares, AFP shares, basically anything. It has worked up until the last developer seed, so unless they yanked this at the last minute, it should still work.
    Now, the reason why Apple removed this feature may be due to the unreliability of the AirDisk, so be cautious.

  • If i buy a Unlocked iphone 4s and use it in another country will it work with the countrys data Services that are local

    If i buy a Unlocked iphone 4s and use it in another country, will it work with the countrys Local data Services

    hi guys,
    i recently bought a new iphone 4s factory unlocked. in order to avoid sim failures and invalid sim errors or No service errors, Each phone has to be unlocked by connecting it to the Itunes.
    Kindly follow the below steps to avoid any SIM card conflicts
    iPhone FULL Unlock - How it Works:
    -Connect your iphone to itunes without any network sim inside and when connected click on the iphones name.
    - Click Restore install latest version of iTunes on your Pc or Mac or click check for updates
    - Let itunes Backup your phone and then Flash to the Latest Version.
    - Now disconnect phone and reconnect after 10 seconds.
    - Now Enter another network simcard that's not the same network its locked on to
    - Connect phone to iTunes with not accepted (not valid) simcard
    - Wait until iTunes detects the phone
    - iTunes will display (Congratulations, Your iPhone is now unlocked)
    - Phone Unlocked
    - just follow the instructions about activating the Iphone.
    and iphone is unlocked
    NOTE : This is the only FULL LIFE TIME UNLOCK solution for Apple iPhone as the IMEI is registered as UNLOCKED in Apple database.
    This solution should be used ONLY THOSE WHO BOUGHT FACTORY UNLOCKED iPHONE 4S.
    Your phone will always be unlocked even after each new update of your phone firmware !
    All reasons given like bad IMEI series, manufacturing defects etc blah blah are not logical as everything was tested before every sale.
