These iChat 2 ) pages are coloured Orange and have the iChat 3 icon on them that was in use at the time, so you know where you are. The icon differs from Version 1 by having the camera logo added.

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 In that time the AIM servers have been closed down (2017) and iChat has been superseded by Messages. That effectively make this a sort of Historical Document of how it worked.

iChat Version 2 Pictures

Not only do these pages contain pictures of various parts of iChat but individual pages also have yet more information about the picture as well. In some cases there are extra pictures about where certain button and actions lead.

iChat 2 Windows Index

Each of these Pictures is actually a Folder of the relevant Pictures for each section. I am not repeating the Modem and Router folders here.

1 Buddy List	2 Buddy List Bottom	3 With Groups Drawer
4 Chat Window	5 Hyperlink in Chat	6 Visible Invite
7 Video Invite	8 Video Chat	9 End Chat

Each Picture is actually a Folder of the relevant Pictures for each section.
Item 8 actually contains two folders as samples of Router and Modem setups.
Item 9 Contains links to Further Pictures based on the Particular Versions.

Information Block

This site is about iChat from Version 1 through to iChat 5.x.x
Mostly this is kept as an Historical Document. Some small tense changes have been made but the content is by and large untouched.

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

The sections below will change for Specifics about info on the page on view

About This Page

This page effectively a picture based index where the pictures are the links to further pictures and explanations.

Compatibility

As mentioned above this has had a major Edit/Update in September 2024 meaning that the Browsers listed below are likely to no longer work.

I have tested in Safari 18.1, Firefox 130.x and 131.0, Vivaldi 6.9.3447.48 and iCab 6.2.3 (All Mac Browsers) I don't have access to a PC let alone multiple browsers to test on.

The original pages worked with Win/IE 5.5 and later (should work in 5.0, but not confirmed), Firefox 2, Safari 3, Opera 9, iCab 3.02 and later, Mac/IE 5, Netscape 6 and later

Old browsers (IE version 4 or earlier, Netscape 4 or earlier) would only see a text-based page which, while not the prettiest option, is still entirely usable.
