iChat Icon   Getting started

When a person in your Buddy List is connected to the Internet and logged in to iChat AV, you'll see the person listed as "Available" in your Buddy List. To send a message, just double-click the person's name. When your buddy replies, you'll see the response on your screen.

To send a file, drag the file to the person's picture in the Buddy List.

If there is a videocamera icon next to your buddy's name, and you have a FireWire videocamera connected to your computer and a broadband connection to the Internet, you can have a video chat with your buddy. If there is a telephone icon next to your buddy's name, you can have an audio chat with your buddy. You can use a dialup modem connection for an audio chat.

Be sure to add your own picture to your card in Address Book. That's what your friends will see next to your name when they add you to their Buddy List.
