IChat incorporated Apple's Aqua interface and used speech bubbles and pictures to personify the online chatting experience. With iChat, green (available), yellow (idle), and red (away) icons could be displayed next to the name of each connected user on the buddy list. For color-blind users, this could be altered to show different shapes, circle (available), triangle (idle), and squares (away), to illustrate status with shape rather than color.iChat AVIn June 2003, Apple announced iChat AV, the second major version of iChat. It added video and audio conferencing capabilities based on the industry-standard Session Initiation Protocol (SIP). The final version of the software was shipped with Mac OS X 10.3 and became available separately on the same day for Mac OS X 10.2.[2]iChat AV 2In February 2004, AOL introduced AOL Instant Messenger (AIM) version 5.5 for Windows users, which enabled video, but not audio, chats over the AIM protocol and was compatible with Apple's iChat AV. On the same day, Apple released a public beta of iChat AV 2.1 to allow Mac OS X users to video conference with AIM 5.5 users.iChat AV 3In June 2004, Steve Jobs announced that the next version of iChat AV would be included with Mac OS X 10.4. iChat AV 3 provided additional support to allow up to four people in a single video conference and ten people in an audio conference. Additionally, the new version of iChat used the H.264/AVC codec, which offered superior quality video compared to the older H.263 codec used in previous versions. This release supported the XMPP protocol, which could be directly used to connect to Google Talk and indirectly be used to connect to users of services including Facebook Chat, and Yahoo! Messenger.[3] However, support was limited as it did not support several common XMPP features such as account creation, service discovery and full multi-user chat support. iChat 3 included the Bonjour protocol (previously called Rendezvous[4]) which allowed iChat to automatically find other users with iChat Bonjour messaging enabled on the local network.[5]In October 2005, iChat received support for encrypted communications, but only for paid subscribers of .Mac (later MobileMe and currently iCloud) service. These features were part of iChat 3.1, released as part of the Mac OS X v10.4.3 update. This version also added support for XMPP multi-user chat.In March 2007, Apple released the Mac OS X v10.4.9 update, which allowed USB video device class (UVC) cameras to

One of my major upsets about the iPhone is it does not have iChat (yet) or any means of instant messaging, but don't panic. Below is a list of iChat alternatives for your impatient souls.Good: BeeJive's JiveTalk™ for iPhone is the number one IM alternative for the iPhone. It sports an iChat-esque bubbly appearance and it also allows you to chat on AIM, MSN, Google Talk, and ICQ. And best of all it's free.Bad: eBuddy for the iPhone. eBuddy allows you to chat on AIM without paying per message, but it isn't perfect. The font isway too small and although you can zoom in, you have to repeat this for every message. Also, you wont receive your messages live, instead you will receive them at the same time you send one. eBuddy is bad, but not as bad as...Ugly: Meebo.All that appears when trying to use Meebo is a rotating cursor. Also, if you're lucky enough to get it to work you'll find that it is uber slow.Wrap-up: Your best choice for an iChat alternative is BeeJive's JiveTalk™ and if for some reason you can't stand it, you can always use eBuddy's microscopic chat. But, if you have enough patience to wait for Apple's (hopeful) release of iChat or Trillian Astra than chatting on the iPhone isn't very far.. MacMinute: Apple Details iChat Security Flaw.

Oct 6, 2005 9:02 AM in response to Serac Hello Serac, Welcome to Apple Discussions. For some users, deleting the "com.apple.ichat.plist" file corrects the problem. Others find that they do NOT get the Bonjour invitation if they launch iChat from any location OTHER than the menu bar after you restart your Mac. See the Disabling Bonjour Messaging Window Popup Discussions thread for other suggestions and the experiences of other users who share your problem. EZ Jim Oct 6, 2005 10:38 AM in response to Serac You're welcome, Serac. Please let us know what fix works for you. Oct 6, 2005 10:49 AM in response to EZ Jim No it doesn't work unfortunately, I deleted the "com.apple.ichat.plist" and it still didn't work, I notice if I make my status available in the menu bar and then highlight buddy list it doesn't happen, and it only happpens at the one time or everytime I resart the computer. Oct 6, 2005 11:18 AM in response to Serac I deleted the "com.apple.ichat.plist" and it still didn't work, ... Did you Log out and stop iChat from running (no small black triangle adjacent to the iChat iCon in your Dock) BEFORE you deleted the .plist? Did you then restart and check to see whether iChat works? Did you try launching iChat from the Dock (if you keep iChat's iCon in your Dock) or from the icon in the Finder > Go > Applications folder? ... it only happpens at the one time or everytime I resart the computer. Are you sure you are logged out of all connections and that iChat is not running (no small black triangle adjacent to the iChat iCon in your Dock) ? Perhaps you have only closed all iChat windows? If that is the case, you may find some useful information on iChat actions and terminology in iChat status after quit?
