Backing up MSN Messenger Emoticons?

Is there a way to backup MSN Messenger so I can keep all my stored emoticons? Which files would I need to backup in order for this to occur if possible...
I tried just clicking and dragging my MSN messenger from Application into a removable drive but it did not save the emoticons...

Since Messenger is not an Apple product, you should consider posting your question on MIcrosoft's own discussion forums for their Mac products, as they would be geared more toward your issue than an Apple forum:

Prob signing into Hotmail and MSN Messenger all of a sudden!

Hi there!
I'm hoping someone out there will be able to help me! I've only had my IMac since Xmas (new convert! heeh!)... and up till now... everything has been great, but in the last couple of days, all of a sudden I can't sign into my hotmail or msn messenger! Neither Safari nor Firefox work! Both end up saying that an error occurred and that the server had timed out!! I've tried resetting Safari, but nothing.
Can anyone help? I'm at my wit's end! I'm a serious messenger fan.. and as it is... am already quite miffed that the mac version doesn't have all the options, like being able to add the funky emoticons etc! lol! But I've let those pass, but now that I can't sign in.. i'm seriously not happy!!
Thanks for any help!
Vicky

Hi again Vicky!
Don't worry...you won't end up hating ur Mac promise! You will honestly have a few things that might not work as well on a Mac as pc...like MSN messenger no video, etc. But after a while you will notice there are many things on a Mac to keep you from ever going back to pc again...promise!
Ok it's tough to know what to do honestly because you're having a problem accessing the site with two different browsers. And the rest of your internet is working fine. Strange! I'm not even sure what I can suggest??? One thing you might try is you said you reinstalled Messenger but the related files were probably left on your Mac. If you would go to your Users/Library/Preferences folder look for anything there related to MSN messenger and trash it. It's probably something like com.msnmessenger.plist...something like that. Just look though that folder and you will find at least one file with msnmessenger in the name for sure. Don't worry...these are your preferences. If they get corrupt they will corrupt the performance of your app. One of the first things you can always do on a Mac is to trash your preference (plist) file and see if that helps. Beware of course you lose your preferences...but usually you can fix them back easy enough.
Let's just try that for now and see if it helps messenger or not. Your Mac is new and sounds like you got everything working well...but I'm not sure right now what could prohibit you from accessing Hotmail on both browsers...
Let me know,

PS - Good job with Skype. Yes this is a very popular choice with Mac users because the app runs on Mac and pc...great!

How do I get MSN messenger to work on my MacBook Pro.

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. Hope someone can help.

I have it on my mac from the latest Office for mac. It even updated after it was installed. My issue is that when I try to log in to my accont, it tries and then logs straight back out.
Any ideas on what's wrong?

MSN Messenger stops Creative Mediasource Pla

My 24 Li've External card works perfectly well with Media source player - until - I log on to MSN Messenger v.7. Then my PC tells me there is no sound device installed. Device manager tells me the device is working probably. I am fed up using System Restore. Any help guys?

In Device Manager under Sound, Video and Game Controllers I have: - Audio CodecsLegacy Audio Di'versLegacy Video Capture devicesMedia Control DevicesRealtek AC'97 AudioSound Blaster Li've! 24 bit externalVideo Codecs?Sound Blaster Li've properties says that the device is working properly - which it is at the moment. The loss of sound is frequent, on booting up. Once it is on it does not "fail" whilst in use. It?comes back after using system restore, re-installing the soundblaster software or sometimes just on rebooting.
?The Sound Blaster is always shown as "working properly" even when it is not?

Internet/MSN Messenger Problems

Ok, so for the past few weeks I've been having some problems with my msn and the internet. I use my city's cable internet and I'm on an imac OS 10.4.6 800MHz PowerPC G4.
When I log onto the internet in any browser, it works just fine. But, when I log into MSN messenger, messegner tells me no one is online. I know that's not true because there is always someone online. Anyway, I log out of msn, but when I go back to use the internet, it doesn't work and I have to unplug my modem and plug it back in (reset it) to get the internet to work again.
I then decided to use my iBook laptop to use the internet. MSN worked just fine on my laptop and I had no problms until two days ago I had gotten a list of updates from mac. (I chose to get weekly updates in System Preferences). The updates were for iTunes, iPod, and a Mac OS X PowerPC update. I had done that at night, then when it was finished updating I shut the laptop down and went to bed. The next morning my laptop was giving me the same problems my imac was.
Then today my iMac wouldn't let me log onto the internet at all, when my laptop would. After I rebooted my computer it let me on.
The other strange thing is that when I tried to log in with my Apple ID to post here, it told me my ID was disabled because of security reasons, so I had to make a new ID.
Does anyone have any idea what's going on? Do I have some kind of virus maybe? I have no clue. Help!

After the upsdates did you run "Disk Utility" and "Repair Permissions" ?
do this preferably before and after a system update, it does fix a lot of these little problems and prevents potential hassles in the future.
Another excellent repair utility is "Applejack", go to Google and get the address and download the application (Donationware).
This program runs in Single User Mode and repairs a lot more than Disk Utility, afterwards you'll find your Mac running faster and with fewer problems.
Good luck

Unable to log onto MSN messenger

Hi,
I am currently experiencing major problems logging onto msn messenger at home. The funny thing about my problem is that msn works fine using other wireless connections. I have called up my internet provider (tiscali), apple technical support, and belkin (the company that makes my wireless router). No such luck yet. Apparently I have managed to figure out that it isn't that program that is at fault, nor is my computer. I can log in fine with other wireless networks (e.g. school library). The tricky thing is that it isn't the fault of my internet provider. There is no problem in me surfing the web (logging into hotmail to check my email)and using internet wirelessly in the house. I downloaded adiumx, amsn, fire, and msn messenger for macs. none of the will allow me to sign in with any user name ending with @hotmail.com from what i have concluded.
it just won't read my hotmail address when i type in my username and password.
my internet provider is tsicali and since it did not come with a wireless router, i bought a belkin one on my own. the belkin technicians have put down all the firewalls (dmz settings?)and security settings and I STILL can't log on to msn.
there are no firewalls on my macbook by default. so there's nothing to disable.
tiscali does not block any sites for their users as an internet provider.
I have even gone into utilities and to the terminal icon and switched the mtu setting to 1400
what more can i do right now?
does anybody have any idea what could be wrong?
my computer? router? internet provider?
please advise!
mucho gracias
p.s. my flatmate uses the wireless internet just fine. she has a pc laptop and can log on to msn messenger no problem

Ichat & msn messenger problems

Is there anyway that I can set my status to invisible on iChat?
Also- was not sure where to put this next question. On msn messenger for mac- when I try and change the emoticons, either add or remove some from my list, it states that I am only allowed a max of 59 emoticons. Would have no problem, except i have only selected about 15..........
Any idea how to change this?
thanks for any help in advance.
Michelle.

Hi Rocket monkey,
No for the Invisible in iChat (At present)
Not sure about MSN for Mac as I have not used it.

Gmail keeps crashing safari on iPad 1 as well as msn messenger

Since updating to ios 5 when I sign into gmail and hit the login button it safari crashes and closes the browser..
This also occurs when opening the msn messenger app.. It starts then closes..
I must say since iOS 5 update everything is buggy and lagging..

So I'm trying to repeat the experience today at home. Its perfect. I can load all sorts of sites like cnn and wunderground that other people over at http://ipad.bigresource.com/Safari-keeps-crashing-g9DKUt5Lu.html are reporting crash safari. I've loaded and played the ipod, load photos and maps and buzzed around all over the place and its rock solid, lots of multitasking and its now OK, Touch wood..
I wonder if its the 3G network when I'm on thre train travelling - that's when it occurs mostly.
Ah ha Facebook just crashed. When I go back to Safari Facebook it does not recall that I was logged on a minute ago, but it does recall my email. Lets try again.
If I click on a friends name to go to their page CRASH. Reload and I'm not logged in any more ! Cookie issue ?
This time I'll try "keep me logged in" option......clicked on Friend again CRASH
Reload - empty Safari screen appears CRASH... Reload same CRASH. Reload - all previous pages are gone.
Facebook, it loads and I'm logged in - Keep option works.Click on Friends OK.
Seems to be with multiple pages open.. lets try 6 pages open no worries.
Loading lots of applications and again it is fine !!!

MSN Messenger Vanished?

Hello,
A couple of days ago after some surfing I came back to the desktop to find a grey question mark on the MSN Messenger dock icon that would not open MSN (as in this topic) http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=744532
I removed the icon from the dock then did a restart (as I had no idea what was going on). I have since tried to find MSN by using find and spotlight but have come up with nothing at all. Does this now mean I have to download MSN again or could it still be somewhere on here but for some reason I can't find it?
Thank you for any help

MSN Messenger on E65 (3 subscriber) - help, please...

I'm having trouble with signing in to MSN Messenger on my new E65.
I've managed to make it work a couple of times but there doesn't seem to be any pattern to it.
It goes like this:
I start the sign-in process
It asks me to select an access point
I select one
It goes to a screen saying "Verifying User Name and Password"
Then it says "Signed in Successfully"
At that point, anyone who has me on their contact list can see that I'm online.
Unfortunately, I then get another message saying "select an access point". I can't enter in any messages, I can't see my contacts list. There are only two options at this point. I can select an access point (a waste of time, since I'm connected already - all this does in effect is disconnect me and starts the cycle again) or I can click "back" which disconnects me anyway. There's a third option - do nothing - which just results in me being cut off anyway after a few seconds.
Anyone else experienced this or, more to the point, found out how to fix it?

This was good point mentioned by someone (access point is always prompted) So i trust that statement. You don't accidentally get data transfer costs (which is very positive indeed)
Why don't you keep MSN always active in background?
In device there is only general setting, asked or same one used to everything. I've just noticed prompt is the best (even a bit annoying sometimes). Again, problem is in application if connection does not stay up (prompted only when connecting)
Though there are bugs in mail also. Connection just wont stay up, have to connect again and again and again..
Cancel will definetally cause problems if target is to connect

I can't find people. When is MSN messenger coming ...

Skype sucks, I want MSN messenger back. I currently use Pidgin but I have problems to find people who use skype... my kid has skype, but when I search on his email address I can't find him...

I fully agree with you. MSN Messenger needs to come back. Leave Skype behind. There isn't anything to Skype but a video chat app that hasn't changed or got new features (Like we were all promised when WLM was retired, that Skype would get all the features and functions WLM had. 2 years and nothing has changed about Skype. They lied 2 years ago when I asked about it. So yes, we need Windows Live Messenger/MSN Messenger back. It was awesome. Besides, it worked side by side with MSN Explorer Premium fully. Skype is nothing and I think it was wrong to force users of MSN/Windows Live Messenger to go to Skype. I NEVER would have if MSN Messenger was still here. And I am betting millions agree too.

Bb, aim and msn messenger prob

I have a 3 week old 8120 pearl (t-mobile) and it already has problems. Often when I'm chatting w ppl their messages doesnt come up on the screen, even though I can see that they have written something and the indicator is blinking. I have to press "end conversation" and then open it again to see what they have written. Why?

MSN messenger desktop icon deleted

Every now and then I find I can't log into MSN Messenger on my mac. The only way it works again is if I delete everything and download it again. However this time, the desktop shortcut icon for the dock has gone missing and I can't find it. How can I get it back?

Cannot log into MSN messenger

Hi
I've recently upgraded to Tiger 10.4. I went to log into msn messenger and a newer version (mac messenger 5.0) was available so I immediately downloaded it. I tried to log in on the new version but I keep getting the following message:
Sign in to microsoft messenger failed because the service is not available or you may not be connected to the internet.
Obviously I am connected to the internet and I have checked through the msn website for any faults with 'messenger' and there are none.
I have ensured that cookies are enabled which is what was suggested on msn's troubleshooting info but still I cannot log on.
I have also tried my older version of messenger and that won't connect either.
Can anyone give me any advice on how to get my messenger working? Is there something within my computer which I have to change or enable?
Many thanx
Em x

I was sitting in Business School class today and was kicked off MSN Messenger. When I tried to sign back in, I get the same error message above paraphrased that the system is unvailable or you can not connect to the internet. I have not installed any programs and this problem has surfaced on its own.
I can connect to MSN through Adium, and through MSN in Virtual PC, but not through the Mac OS X desktop using MSN application direct. I repaired disc permissions and attempted to downgrade to MSN 4.0 and reinstall MSN version 5.0 without sucess. My internet connection is working fine and the system preferences network diagnostics indicate everything is normal.
Apparently several people have this problem, but I have yet to find a solution. I don't want to re-install OS 10.4 unless it is absolutely necessary so if anyone has any suggestions - please hit me with them!
Thanks!
