Thanks TorbX. So what you are saying is there is no way until they make a Mac version of Skype?

Sort of.

1. Most of my friends is on MSN, and they dont want to switch to AIM.

2. There wont be coming a 6.1 version of MSN to mac...

3. iChat won't come to PC.

4. MSN / AIM / iChat does not work behind firewalls on the protocolls sound uses. Skype does!!

Everybody will have an interest in installing Skype, even if they are on a working messenger from before. It works extremely good, its got a nice interface, it uses so little badwith that it must be very cool while gaming, and so on.

So can the iSight be used if I and my partner are both using Yahoo Messenger?

This isn't an iChat question, but I have given up on it for now because from Mac to Mac I couldn't get 2-way audio going between version 2.0 and the Jaguar version....

Works behind firewalls and everything - but it does not exist for mac. YET! At their help-pages, you can throw in a vote at it. With enough votes, they'll make a Mac-version! That could turn in to ONE CANDY APP! Brushed metal, nifty sounds, etc...

I registered with them and palced my vote for a Mac version. Currently the there are more Linux users requesting that a version be made for them than there are Mac users with the same request. 301 to 257

Have any of the bugs been fixed yet ?
Or have most of you given up on it for now ?

I really cannot get audio chat to work with AIM and iChat. None of us have cameras, but I'm eying up a cheap iSight on eBay. If I can get one of those babies for half price, then I'll get it in future hope of video conferencing. It seems that chats work if at least one of the party has a webcam attached.

Problems w/ iChat Audio

Over the weekend I set up iSight and iChat AV v2.1 to have audio and video chats with my mom who is a PC user and is using AOL AIM 5.5, her camera is a Logitech Quickcam Zoom. After much fussing we were able to get the video chats going, but the problem is is that she can hear me but I cannot hear her - we cannot also use the audio chat option.

Has anyone else had these problems? We have checked and re-checked each other settings and troubleshot it to death through the Logitech website - but still no audio on my end - yes my speakers are on and I can play music and movies etc.

Much thanks to anyone to can help.

Just FYI,
I've setup OS 10.3 on a Blue and White 350Mhz tower running iChatAV and iSight!

Tested many times. Video and Audio quality normal. Uses iChatUSB to enable video. No big problems there and they constantly update the utility.

So, does anyone know at this point when we will be able to have audio chats with Windows users using AIM? Or when this final version of iChat is going to be released?
