iChat question

[maryannemoll]

hi. is AIM the only chat service provider we can use for iChat? can we specify another chat service for use with iChat? aside from the .mac account?

thank you too much.

Yup, AIM is the only network iChat connects to. There are some IM clients out there that "cross" networks in one interface. Popular ones are Fire, AdiumX and Proteus.

thanks. i tried using my mac account to log in to ichat but somehow it won't work. what i do is i select preferences and then select "use my .mac account." but it keeps asking for my aol name. am i doing it right?

ps. just now i added my .mac address to my address book. am logged on now. it seems to work fine already. i hope i'm doing it right.

actually what i'm looking for is an IM client that has an audio chat feature. yahoo doesn't have one, msn messenger doesn't have one. is iChat the only one that has this feature? what do you use aside from iChat and yahoo and msn messenger?

another ichat question:

i renamed someone in my iChat and then i get an error message "cant add *user*" and then biglang nawala yung contact sa iChat ko.

i tried putting that person back but the avatar never came back. i think it happened twice na. so, how do i put that person back?

maybe you should rename your buddy first in the address book, and then use the iChat options to delete him/her and add him/her back by accessing the address book.

(clear ba?) i mean change the address book entry, then go back to ichat to delete the person, and then add the person back.
