I need help with ichat!! When I open iChat, all that comes up is no window, just the bar on top of the screen changes from "finder" to "ichat". I click on buddies, in the drop down I can't select add buddies, its all grey. Do I need a .mac account to use ichat? I have the 60 day free trial thing, but I didn't when I first set ichat up when I first got m MacBook, so I don't know what I did. How can I fix this?
And is there some program I can use, any other IM, that I can have a webcam and audio chat with someone who is using iChat?
