iChat Information Pages

Version 4

iChat Icon

These iChat 4 pages are coloured Gray and have the iChat 4 icon on them that was in use at the time, so you know where you are. The icon differs little from the Version 3 version.

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 In that time the AIM servers have been closed down (2017) and iChat has been superseded by Message and FaceTime. That effectively make this a sort of Historical Document of how it worked.

iChat Version 4 Pictures Index

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 4 In Pictures

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.

All but one Picture is actually a Folder of the relevant Pictures for each section.
Most of the Info shown in the Main Set of Pictures is transferable to any iChat version. These here tend to look at the specific differences.


First up is Adding Buddies.

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Mostly this is kept as an Historical Document.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

The Index for the iChat 4 pictures.

As mentioned in the main content each picture leads to more info around each topic.

Compatibility

As mentioned above this has had a major Edit/Update in September/October 2024 moving towards being fully HTML 5 compliant 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) should/may only see a text-based page which, while not the prettiest option, is still entirely usable.
