Please help with iSight
we just got the iSight. we downloaded the $30 software (iChat AV). we want to video chat with our parents in SA. they have a PC and some cheep webcam. we can see and hear them fine when we are on msn (of course they can't see or hear us) when we both log out of msn and log into AIM and try to use the iSight through AIM nothing seems to work. we can't even invite them to a video chat. we have looked on the internet for information on this problem. people have mentioned that the PC user needs to have Windows XP (2000 is not good enough), they need to have AIM 5.5, there might be firewall restrictions etc. we know that other people have succeeded in video chatting between Mac and PC. we are about ready to throw this iSight against the wall...we have wasted so much time trying to make this thing work. is it that impossible? can someone please offer some advise because we are desperate.
Ps. calling 1-800-MY-APPLE is also a total waste of time since they have 18 year old kids who answer the phone...
Also, if there is someone who has an iSight (or any webcam for that matter) and would be willing to video chat with us, we would really appreciate that. At least we might be able to determine then whether the problem is with us or somewhere else. Our AIM sreenname is plaasjapie2004 and we will be logged on the entire day on Thursday, 1 July 2004.
