I want to use MSN Messenger on my MacBook Pro. All my friends use PCs and can chat easily, transfer files and can use the camera too. I can't do any of that.
Info:
MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.3)
I got a Mac OS X from my brother, we set up the internet on it and everything. I clicked on the messenger, but it won't work. It told me: Sign in to Microsoft Messenger failed because the service is not available or you may not be connected to the Internet.
So I downloaded MSN Messenger for Mac, installed it, tried to sign in but again it said the same thing!!!how do I make it work?!
When I try to upload Messenger Mac to my computer (Macbook Pro 2012 OS X Lion) it tells me that it doesn't support it or something along those lines. I've seen people use it before and have no problems. What could possibly be wrong with mine and how could I get it to work properly so that I can use it? It would be great if I could use it.
Info:
MacBook Pro (13-inch Late 2011), Mac OS X (10.7.3)
I got the new Office 2011 so the new MSN Messenger 8 was included. I've tried everything but nothing works. I can't connect. It'll just say "Sign in failed because the password is incorrect or the sign-in name does not exist. If you have forgotten... blah" I know the password and everything is correct since I can sign in on my windows computer. I've tried using another account and it doesn't work either. I would use Adium but I really dislike the style along with many 3rd party clients. I had MSN 6 installed and that worked fine.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI've having trouble getting the "webcam" option on "live messenger" on my MAC. There is no option for starting a conversation with a cam and when people request a cam conversation it suggests that i get "window live v7" I've already got this. Do I need a separate webcam instead of the built-in one i have on my laptop?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI downloaded msn messenger for mac when I got my mac about two months ago.
It stopped working a few weeks ago (not sending/receiving messages) so I deleted it the other day out of my applications window, and tried to re-download a different version of it. When I do this, and try to log in, it tells me that the system cannot log me in. I don't understand if it is just the msn or if I need to completely remove the msn from my computer, and if that's the case, how do I do that?
I wanna get a messenger bag to carry my 13" Unibody MBP in. I have a black Incase neoprene sleeve already so I don't really need it to be super cushiony. I just want to be able to carry my Macbook, the power cord, and a few accessories like my iPod Touch, Magic Mouse, maybe a notepad and some pens.

Yahoo Messenger for MAC, Mac OS X (10.6.8)
I purchased a Mac air recently.
I often use yahoo messenger to talk to my family, but with this mac I cannot use its webcam on yahoo messenger as the other laptops.
I don't know why that the Adium messenger just puts my MBA on fire especially when I try to type in Chinese....

View 2 Replies View RelatedI bought a MacBook a few months ago. I downloaded the Yahoo messenger just fine. I use the webcam when my boyfriend and I am iming. A few days ago, the messenger just "hangs." I just get that little circle and I can no longer view my webcame at the bottom of my screen. My BF says he gets my transmission from the webcam just fine as the messenger menu at the top still works. But it bugs me I can't see the image he sees. Also when I go to photobooth with the messenger on, the camera does not work. There is a camera icon with a line across it. When I sign out of the messenger, the still camera works just fine.

The bag is going to be dual purpose, to carry either my 13" MBP (with SecondSkin) or my DELL 14" work laptop.
The 'true' width/dimensions fit within the Timbuk2 guidelines by about 1CM on both. I emailed Timbuk2 and they said it would be too tight for a medium, but having read all the posts about M fitting a 15" laptop I'm some what confused.
I can not open my mail from my messenger live.

I downloaded msn mac messenger then it won't sign me in, keeps saying : id or password incorrect. I couldn't fix this bug so I deleted (uninstalled it) by moving all files to trash . now the trash won't empty and it's annoying. is it a bug ? any clue? the trash won't say anything , just the "are you sure" message, then makes the "trashing" sound. but nothings changes.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI'm wanting to order a custom laptop messenger from timbuk2 here, but I don't know what size will fit a current unibody 17 inch MBP. According to the dimensions listed by apple here, the medium would bag would fit it fine. On timbuk2's site the large says it fits most 17 inch laptops, but the true width is too big. However, the true width on the medium bag would seem to fit. Does anybody use the medium timbuk2 messenger bag for their 17 inch MBP?
I've searched and have found a lot of people using the medium bag for their 15 inch MBP and they say it fits "perfect". Some people mention that they use the large bag for their 15 inch also. The site's specifications would seem to fit perfect with a medium bag, so i'm not really sure. I would prefer the medium bag, but I don't want to waste my money since you can't return custom bags.
I am playing with my new MBP and wanted to know if iCHAT supports talking to buddies from Yahoo Messenger too, just like it does for AIM? I got the AIM one to work, and it says something about something called Bonjour (?) but nothing about Yahoo? Please let me know how to set this up as possible, that way I won't need separate programs for AIM and Yahoo Messenger. PS- Does windows media player have a program for MACs? If not, whats the best program similar to Windows Media Player that I can use to view all the same video types as that?
View 9 Replies View RelatedSo I just got a MacBook Pro a couple months ago, and I am having issues using webcam chat in Yahoo Messenger for Mac. The built in iSight cam doesn't seem to turn on (no green light) when I try to use it, and the person on the other end just sees a black screen for my webcam.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI use MSN (windows live) messenger. Going to switch to Mac soon for college, so I wanted to know if there was any MSN- capable IM program for OSX that supports the webcam of the MacBook.
I heard Adium is a good IM app, but does not support the webcam. Not sure about windows live messenger either.
Check this bag out, I though I was looking at a catalog of their products but this is all ONE bag that transforms into different ones, it's $285 which is not bad considering how much you can do with it check it out: [URL] tell me what you think it fits 13" to 17" macbooks
View 10 Replies View RelatedI just got a Mac (it's a Powerbook G4, brand-new, hand-me-down from my uncle), and it had an older version of MSN messenger installed on it. I tried signing in, but it told me I had to update my messenger in order to continue. I did, but a new window appeared with the MSN icon and an arrow pointing to the Applications folder. I dragged the icon towards the application folder, and then tried opening the messenger, but it didn't work. I even dragged it into my Dock, and when I click it, it doesn't open.

View 7 Replies View RelatedI've never had this problem with my windows computers but I got the latest version of msn messenger for mac and whenever I type in my display name, and then log off. It won't save it. That and along with the personal message as well. It just shows my name that I put on my hotmail account. I know I can change my name in my hotmail account but I'd rather figure this out.
Does anyone know how to fix this problem?
I have a problem signing into my messenger for mac. Version 7.0.1. My computer is a Power Book G4. version 10.4.11
Below the description of the error:
"Signing into MSN Instant Messenger Service failed because the password is incorrect or the sign-in name does not exist. If you have forgotten your password, click Help in the main window, and then click Help Topics."
My username and password are correct. I tried logging into my hotmail account and it works. I also tried other accounts without success. I also tried uninstalling and installing back again. Nothing seems to work.
I'm using ebuddy for now, but I want to get to the bottom of this and fix it fast!
I think i have a fairly unique problem...
I had installed Messenger for Mac 7, and it worked fine for a few days. After that, when i launched it, it would hang, and show me the color wheel. I would have to force quit in order to close it. That was fine, however when i tried an MSN clone (aMSN), i got the same thing, hang, color wheel, and eventually force quit. Fine, i thought. I will try Adium. SAME THING! AND.... Get this.... I tried to use Web Messenger, and it hung Safari, resulting in a force quit. I have not been able to find any topics relating to this specific problem. Coming from a Windows background, I can only assume, in Windows terms, that a service is not starting, and hanging my apps. Or that MSN hates Mac users.
how does one uninstall messenger mac?
