sapo messenger

ZeroShade · 08-26-2008, 10:20 PM

I downloaded the sapo messenger for my mac and I'm asked for a jabber id and password. So I started googling for a registration page but I can't seem to find one? I'm a bit confused. Can anybody shed some light on registering for a jabber id?

Hello,

Jabber is a type of client. Google's IM uses Jabber. I fo not think Jabber has a specific client that it uses it is jsut a type of client.

It says that sapo messenger is a jabber/xmpp client. So I guess if I were to use this client I would need a account... but where?

I get to this page but am unsure what to do now... jabber.org | Jabber.org

How to submit an IM service | Jabber.org

I am guessing this is what you would need to do. Then you can use sapo.

I don't think i want to do this at all. Heres my initial problem, maybe you know of a way to do this. I want to use my web cam when instant messenging on my macbook... i'm going away to australia for a while and i want to contact my girlfriend here at home but i'm on a mac and shes on a pc. I run parallels but i can't find the driver to download to work with isight on vista. Any ideas on use the cam over a messenger client for mac and pc?

No idea. There wont be a iSight driver for VIsta unless Mac made one. Did you try

Adium - Download

That is the best i can say. Ask Saxon. He is the Mac Geek now.

What version of the mac book is it an do you have the OS install disk's that came with it?

ZeroShade · 08-27-2008, 06:44 PM

Its the new macbook... just got it in july. I still have the install discs that came with it yes... and when vista asked for the disk i put both of them in and it was unable to find one. I know the driver exist because boot camp is able to do it. But I don't want to use boot camp because I don't need to dual boot but rather run it parallel to leopard.

ok where did you look on the disk for the drivers?

iSight on XP - Parallels Desktop and Parallels Server Support
Try looking there for drivers, it can be a little bit of a ***** to get it working.

I'll take a look and see if I can find them. I'll let you know what i come up with.
