These iChat 1 pages are coloured Blue and have the iChat 1 icon on them that was in use at the time, so you know where you are.

3 The Right-Click (Control-Click) Menu

This is the menu that pops up if you Right-click (Or Control Click) on a Buddy in the list.

Basically it is similar to the Buddies menu and gives you option to the type of Chat you can start.

Invite to Chat allows you to Create a Room and invite Buddies to a Group chat.

Send Instant Message is an everday IM like clicking the icon at the bottom of the Buddy list or Double Clicking a Buddy.

Direct IM is supposed to be more secure. The chat moves to the UDP Protocol rather that the TCP protocol that is used for the Login and plain Text chats. Files and Pictures can be sent via the Text Entry field of a Text chat this way.

Send a File is sending a file or a picture as a file without opening a chat.

You also have access (Get Info) to the Info Card as discussed on the previous page.

Information Block

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 In that time the AIM servers have been closed down (2017) and iChat has been superceded by Messages. That effectively make this a sort of Historical Document of how it worked.

This 2024 Edit/Update does make some tense changes to the Contents but mostly it stands as written. The general purpose of the update was to move, as much as possible to HTML 5 compliance where I could.

This site is about iChat from Version 1 through to iChat 5.x.x

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

This Information Block will change for Specifics about info on the page on view
