I have a MBP and I use Ichat alot to IM my friends. My question is.....when I am chatting with someone and the chat is terminated is that chat saved somewhere on the computer or is it just gone?
I have successfully managed to integrate facebook chat in iChat. However, I was wondering whether it is possible to video chat with through facebook chat provided both people are using iChat. Does anyone know if this works?
View 1 Replies View RelatedMy iMac C2Duo 20" gets error messages when attempting a Video Chat in 10.5.8 with iChat 4.0.8. If I boot up from FW drive using 10.4.11 everything works.
When I initiate a Video Chat, after a while I get a pop up "There was a communication error during your chat. (recipient) cancelled the connection."
When I ACCEPT a Video Chat invite, I get a pop up "There was a communication error during your chat. Did not receive a response from (initiator)."
I should mention that there is also a networking problem in 10.5.8 that disappears if I boot up from the FW drive with 10.4.11. The Internet Sharing will randomly stop working for no apparent reason. I'll be connected to interenet using iPhone 3GS or old iBook G4 running 10.5.8 and suddenly I'm "no longer connected to the internet". Sometimes stopping and restarting Internet Sharing solves it for a while, sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes it will work for days, other times for minutes or quit overnight.
Unable to utilize webcam with others on PC webcams...continue to get error message that says "connection timed out" . Tried having PC member change firewall settings.... Is it something on MacBook side?
I know there is a simple answer to this that I am missing...
When I log into ichat I can only see myself. The other person sees and hears me perfectly but I do not see them. One time it did work and I could see him. I did nothing differently. What is wrong and how can I fix it?

View 3 Replies View RelatedOccasionally my friends and I go to tinychat to do a multi-person video chat. Usually when i click "broadcast" there are many video options and I choose the one that has myself on it. It usually says something like "USB camcorder" or something with USB in it. However; the other night I tried to go on, and it wouldn't let me. I noticed that the video options had gone down to about 4, and the one with myself was called "Built-In iSight." I have never had this option before, so I clicked it. the green light next to my camera flicked on and then off. You couldn't see me. Was it something I did? All the video sharing websites do this; however on my photobooth and ichat it works fine...

I participate in several on-line chat rooms that are multi-user camera chat. One example is camfrog. Another one is Paltalk. How can I set the Macbook air to play directly from the computer to the internet chat room, WITHOUT using the microphone and speakers? Effectively, this would be streaming music to the chatroom. On a PC, one has the option of setting up the sound card to play through a line out (as well as the speakers) and the line out replaces the Microphpne in the settings. This will play any sound your sound card is playing, including movie sounds, music, or a podcast - any time the mic button is selected in a chat room.

So I just got a MacBook Pro a couple months ago, and I am having issues using webcam chat in Yahoo Messenger for Mac. The built in iSight cam doesn't seem to turn on (no green light) when I try to use it, and the person on the other end just sees a black screen for my webcam.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm really new to mac. I have a Macbook, equipped with iChat (of course) and the built-in iSight. My boyfriend is a cadet at the United States Military Academy, and has a PC laptop, a Dell if that matters. I want to be able to one-way video chat with him (so he can see me, and we can hear each other) but they are only allowed to use AIM there. In other words he is not allowed to use ANY OTHER messenger program. We used to use Skype until he found out AIM is the only program permitted. How do I get this to work?

I am attempting to connect a one-way video chat using Ichat. My friend does not have a webcam and is using AIM. When we go to connect, the box appears on her computer but it is completely black. It shows that we are connected but she does not see any image. From what I have read it is possible to one-way chat from Ichat to AIM no problem but she is unable to see/hear me.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI guess the answer to this might be iChat, but I've got two iMacs on my home network. My wife and I work on them, usually at the same time, and it would be great if we could just open a quick chat window to swap small files, links and bits of text back and forth as we work. At the moment we use the Finder and copy, paste, drag, etc. But there must be a quicker way. Back in the olde days there used to be a network message thing you could use. I guess iChat would be easiest if we both set up a login each and keep it running in the background?

View 1 Replies View RelatedAt my work, a few of us want to set up a chat room that people can join/leave without the need to be invited (as seems to be the case if using group chat on Google Talk), though perhaps not a publicly accessible room.
