[Lopazax98]

I am having a Apple mac book pro laptop, this is dual boot with windows vista and mac osx 10.05.6 version, I am basically sue this system for internet after coming back from office at night, and for some of the entertainment purpose like the video chat and also for the online streaming videos. For the video chat I am suing isight photoboth with Skype instant messaging application. But the problem in my system is that, when I start the instant messaging application it freezes and along with this also at that time the webcam stops working. I tried with many trick to overcome from this problem, but nothing works, I consult with eth apple manufacturer they checked and said that there is no problem in the web can, it is with the instant messaging application, and for that I need to replace this. Though I did not use any other application yet now in my system accept Skype. So I am here for getting some information regarding the instant messaging application which runs in the both windows and mac platform. Any information regarding this will be appreciated greatly.

If you are looking for a more personal way to stay in touch, iChat allows you to see your friends, relatives and colleagues and to hear, regardless of how far away they are. By this application you can chat via text, audio or video chat over the Internet, without paying high fees for text messaging, long distance or video streaming. You can not only chat with one person, but a conference with several people for business meetings or simply set up for entertaining. With the following providers you can run the application in both windows and mac platform MobileMe , AIM (AOL Instant Messenger), Google Talk or Jabber.

Yahoo! Messenger:
This software is also available for Mac OS X as well as for windows without losing any of its features, users can use the Yahoo! messenger without any sort of trauma. It supports the Apple iSight application, and fits in perfectly with the other programs from Apple. I am using this, and this working fine with all of its features and along with this features those you are using in Skype application, try with this, I hope this is the best instant messaging application.

Another application known as aMSN. This is an only option for those who want to continue to use your webcam with friends in MSN and aMSN, and open-source software stage. However, as we said, it remains today the only way to make video conferencing in any network: the development of MSN Messenger for Mac OS by Microsoft is at a standstill for years now with its latest version, and the windows of the house does not seem to have as a priority this development.

I am also using the ichat instant messaging application, that I am using in my apple laptop, and I would like to share some of the additional information’s about this, though there are many ways to chat in Mac (via text, audio and also video). The program most used and most appreciated with named as iChat, which since version for Mac OS X Tiger also allows videoconferencing with a nice three-dimensional effect and a good quality video. iChat is compatible with AOL Instant Messenger for Windows, so you can chat, audio and video between Mac and PC without leaving iChat. As per my known, however, the vast majority of Windows users only use Msn Messenger. If you wants to chat with friends who are not lucky enough to own a Mac and you do not want to ask their clients to change, we must use an MSN client. Unfortunately, however, between Mac and PC on the circuit MSN cannot do video conferencing, for the moment. The Mercury in the current version already supports video reception on your Mac and aMSN is to propose a program update that should finally allow video chat between Mac and Windows.

Instanbird is a multiprotocol IM client under triple license; it supports both windows and mac osx platform. It uses the Mozilla engine to display messages, and the library of Pidgin libpurple to connect to different networks. Its features are limited compared to Pidgin, but is expected to be available. It used especially for Firefox and Thunderbird and libpurple , the library's open source Pidgin to propose the same protocols that support it like AIM , MSN , Messenger , ICQ , IRC , MySpaceIM , Jabber , SIP etc.

I also like to suggest you to use Adium, this is a powerful Instant Messenger, mainly supports in Unix and mac osx, it allows you to chat with users on any network: AIM, ICQ, MSN Messenger, Yahoo Messenger, Google Talk, Bonjour, Jabber are some of the supported interfaces. you can also be continually customized, with thousands of skins, pack of emoticons, icons, audio pack and plug-ins. Also, its speed is also good, due to frequent updates and to avoid undue attention to the interface never too, and despite the flaw cannot be used as the video conferencing, Adium is probably the best software for text chat in a Mac platform.
