Macbook Question +++karma

Unless it's a problem with RAM, which is unlikely with macbook (relatively new i assume?) It may have to do with your service provider and your upload/download speed. I don't have a solution for you, but a good place to start would be to consider the following....Search for iChat software updates, Meet with a MacGenius, Go onto the mac website and search for solutions, or browse google for related forums.

i think it has to do with your service to the internet..if its weak, itll lag, but if you have nice service, it should work fine

thanks bross mad karma

I don't own the Macbook but I do have the iMac and I use iChat all the time. I used to have the same problem and it has to do with Bandwidth. If you have over large internet using applications open, it'll slow you down. Even the NS'ers site can slow it down for you so next time you're on, try and use only iChat. If that doesn't help go to > iChat > Preferences > Select the Video Tab > then set your bandwidth limit to something low, like 100 or 200 kps. This will set a cap to bandwidth and should decrease your lag but also, it will slightly decrease your quality.

If you're using a wireless internet connection, you're already at a disadvantage but this kps adjustment should help

yea i have the new macbook as well and my ichat transfer is a little messed up as well. so it may be something that happens alot with macbooks.

I have a macbook and it works fine recieving pics on ichat unless my internet connection is week or my computer had been on for a long time. 

yup, it must be your connection

first, reinstall ichat. then reboot the laptop. open up safari. goto ebay.com and open a listing "macbook for sale". sell to the first bidder. Call dell or hp.

You know, I have honestly no clue, but you should get Adium, its a much better chat client for OS X
