WebSE – System 7 Simulation. This simulation looks perfect. I wonder how much time it took? Beautifully done.

Facetime vs Skype
Why would i use Facetime over Skype?: Apple Support Communities. This is a nice summary and good list of the pros/cons of different video conferencing software. Right now FaceTime is mostly used by consumers and small businesses, and Skype tends to be more popular for group chats and other more formal usage. I have used both and they are great.
iTunes 10.4 on Mac OS X 10.6.8 does not start automatically when iPad or iPhone is plugged in
Chelley Vician1 seems to have a working solution.
Ok, here’s what seems to have worked….but will need to monitor to see if this stays “stable”.
1) As suggested by King_Penguin in another Discussion thread [apple support > iPad > Using iPad > Discussions] (https://discussions.apple.com/message/15911962#15911962), I turned off iPhoto startup on the iPhone. Then ejected iPhone from USB.
2) Reconnected iPhone via USB. iTunes did not start up. Started up iTunes manually. Went to Summary page for iPhone, unchecked the “open iTunes” option, selected APPLY button. Let iTunes run its application process.
3) Then checked the “open iTunes” option. Selected APPLY button. Got a dialog box asking if I wanted “iTunes Helper” to be installed; selected YES. Let iTunes run its application process. Ejected iPhone. Closed out iTunes. Reconnected iPhone via USB. AND iTunes STARTED UP AUTOMATICALLY (yay!). Let iTunes do some backup and sync’ing. Ejected iPhone. Closed out iTunes.
4) Connected iPad via USB (on computer). AND iTunes STARTED UP AUTOMATICALLY (yay!).
I don’t know for sure that the iPhoto “automatic launch” was causing the interference, but it seems like the “uncheck/check” the “open iTunes” option seemed to re-set the problem that I encountered. I don’t want to say for sure that this issue is fixed, but it appears to be under control for the moment.
Thanks to everyone for your thoughts and assistance. Maybe this info will help someone else out now that it’s in the forums/discussions.

Thanks paige.findley!
good news: found the following solution
Navigate to ‘/Users//Library/Preferences’ and delete all com.apple.iChat* files. You must then log out for the fix to work and re-setup iChat the next time you log in. I’m pleased to report this solution does work and I can now open and close iChat without having to reenter my passwords each time it starts up.
