iChat Picture Pages


Historical Document

These pages have sat here since 2008 with no update. In that time the AIM servers have been closed down (2017) and iChat has been superseded by Messages. That effectively make this a sort of Historical Document of how it worked.

I will make attempts to renew and refresh Links to either the most current site or use the Way Back Machine Archive so that people can at least look at what was used. I will make Edit Notes on this and on those where I can find no link to replace the older one as I go through the document.

iChat's Windows

These are some of the Pictures for the different iChat Windows. I have not included the Preferences Screens shown in detail in another section of the Pictures folder. It is by no means every single pop-up or Invite or confirm window but it is a sample of some of those as well as the main windows involved.

It has a mixture of basic info and problem solving help.
