I am trying to use the built in webcam on my MacBook Pro with MSN Messenger. I cannot locate the option to activate the camera. Any help is appreciated.

I have a new Macbook and want to video chat with MSN Messenger users.
Can I do that via aMSN?
I've also got XP running on my Macbook and have installed MSN Messenger running but I cant seem to get XP to recognize the built in camera. Is there a way to do this?
Thanks in advance

Hello jellosaladE
can the iSight built in camera be used with msn messenger?
An iNtel Mac can use its built-in iSight "with" MSN Messenger.
For how, see this thread:

Using iSight with MSN Messenger

I have MSN messenger 5.0 for a Mac - I cannot seem to figure out how to use the iSight with it . Has any1 been able to do this or are the 2 not compatible?
Thanks

Hello Alefiyah,
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Grant it right. No video in MSN for Mac.
If you are interested, see the MSN, Yahoo, Win Messengers & iChat? FAQ for info on how to use iChat AV with MSN Messenger for text chat.
Has any1 been able to do this or are the 2 not compatible?
Not currently. See Peter Tulipan1's recent Can iChat have video chat with Windows Messenger? thread for info about the development of video via the MSNM Server by using an application called Mercury Messenger on the Mac. Note that their Support Info says two-way video does not work at this time, though.

(P.S. You really
b should
update to 10.4.2. It correct several issues with the previous Tiger versions. I suggest the 58 MB Mac OS X Update 10.4.2 Combo. I also suggest that you repair permissions
b before AND after
the update. See Gulliver's Mac OS X 10.3/10.4: System maintenance FAQ for why.)

Live cam voice & msn messenger

I bought creative live cam voice and I cannot get it to work with WINDOWS LIVE MESSENGER as it always crashes and gives the error message "the program has stopped working". Im using vista 64 bit and all the latest drivers.
I did get it working for a short while with MSN 7.5 but microsoft now prevent that version being used and when you try and install it windows insists on downloading live messenger instead.
Help please

HELLO CREATIVE!!!
CAN YOU MAKE THIS CAMERA USEFUL?
NEED NEW DRIVER!

Logging in with MSN Messenger - please help!

Hello!
I really hope somebody can help, I've been trying to get iChat to work with my MSN Messenger contacts for about 2 weeks now and have trawled through the advice on this forum but nothing has worked properly.
I've tried Ralph Jones (I think)' helpful advice, been through the top three links and registered with Jabber about 5 times but no success. If you are reading please help Ralph!
The first time I tried it, it did work and I spoke with somebody for a few minutes, however then it came up with an error that said 'Not available' when I tried to send a message. Since then all my contacts have showed as 'Waiting for Authorization' but this status never changes. I think I've tried everything - I've tried different servers on the third link, I've tried the UK one (I'm in the UK) but nothing seems to work.
Please help! This is the final step as every other application I've got working fully!
Thanks,
Andrew

Hi,
I used Psi to set up my Jabber name and transport on Jabber.org.uk
Then I added that Jabber screen name as an Jabber account in the iChat Preferences > Accounts
Like you I find that sometimes they seem to stay at Not Authorised.
Check with the Psi app that the Transport is active.
Also contact Gil Taylor in table 2
http://www.ralphjohnsuk.dsl.pipex.com/ContactTesters.html as he seems to know more about this.
Use his AIM name first and text him.

Safari 3.0.2 issue with MSN Messenger 6.0.2

Hi all, I wanted to post an issue Im having ever since I updated to Safari 3.0 and 3.0.2 now.
I am running MSN Messenger 6.0.2 and every time I hit the red X button to close a conversation box, Messenger crashes. Every single time.
I wrote to Microsoft's support about this issue and they suggested that it might be something wrong between their soft and Safari 3.0 since before the update, I had no problems at all.
I have tried downgrading to Safari 2.0 but I cannot install it since it asks for OS X 10.4.2 and Im running 10.4.9 !!!
I would need some help please. I do not know how to solve this issue and it keeps happening again and again.
Any thoughts??
Thank you,
Ramiro

Thank you very much Eme !
You are so very welcome Ramiro!!
That solved my problem, and sorry for not searching the forum, I have seen another thread with this issue in same pages a couple of days ago.
I am very happy to hear that you have solved your problem, nice job;-)
True,  discussions does recommend you do a search first, seriamente ningún problema, mi placer de ayudar:)
Thank you very much for the & stars.
Enjoy your Mac!

Can you use isight with msn messenger?

why woulnd't i be able to use my isight for a webcam on msn when it's just right there built into my computer!!! so lame, does anyone know how to?

Hi
Because MSN messenger for mac does not do video
Have a look at aMSN http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/14200
And Mercury http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/14970 For video.
If your talking to PC's you might be better off trying Skype http://www.skype.com/download/skype/macosx/20beta.html and the PC needs Skype as well.

Problems with MSN Messenger - need quick help

I posted yesterday that I was having some trouble with my Ameritrade stock trading account, it was a java issue and they had me delete the cache in java and my Ameritrade worked again.
Now this morning I'm having problems with MS messenger which I use all day long for my job. When I try to sign in it keeps telling me it can't sign me in and I must not be connected to the internet. Which I am.
Its got some thing to do with my airport wireless thingy. Is there some way to "open" that up. When I unplug it and then replug it back in I can sign in to MS messenger for about a minute but then it somehow blocks it.
It keeps me on the internet but I get a message that I an not connected to .NET Messenger service. It is blocking me on my laptop PC now too. And it behaves the same way. After unplugging the airport I get a quick window where I can sign in but after that it blocks that .NET messenger service.
Is there some way I can open up the airport so I can get on the NET messenger service. Skype and iChat work but I can't use either for my job.
Does anyone have any suggestions (I'm begging here cuz i start work at 9:30 am and I need it working by then!).
Thanks, Susan

Wow this is a mess, I want to add that again i'm sure its the airport extreme somehow. However on my PC laptop I can sign into messenger with an older version of it but when i try the new LIVE messenger it won't let me sign in.
The iMac version forces you to use the latest version so I can't use an older "non live" version to sign in with. I am praying someone can help me figure out what is wrong.
Thanks sorry for reposting but i'm frantic!
Susan

Is there a way to use the built in camera with msn

I don't have any friends with a mac so hard to use Ichat. But with my pc i could use webcam and mic but with a mac they don't work at all is there a way to work. I have a Yahoo account and it works there the cam at least not mic. Or do all my friends have to buy a Mac??? I usually use Msn and there isn't even an icon for the mic or cam.

Hello Nicole
You can use the suggestions in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2090 to see whether iSight is causing your problem. Be sure to try with more than one user account and with some other apps, too:
http://www.ralphjohns.co.uk/EZJim/EZJimpage7.html
If your iSight works properly with any app in any user account you test, iSight is NOT the cause.
If you can eliminate iSight as the source of your trouble, you will need to either switch to other ways of communicating as Defcom suggests or troubleshoot other system elements that might be causing the problem. Here are some other things you can consider if you don't get better suggestions here:
(1) Sometimes a restart restores function on internet connected applications. Shut down everything and restart your entire system including modem, router, and Mac in that order. To eliminate possible communication hardware problems, allow self-test to complete on each device before starting the next.
(2) If you updated or installed any software immediately before the problem began, check their websites to see if there are known issues with your system configuration or installation. If not, carefully following the developers' instructions, reinstall any possible software cause, repair permissions, and try again.
If you find conflicting software, follow the instructions and uninstall to see if removing it will restore proper function to your favored communications apps.
(3) Check the dedicated aMSN user forum at http://www.amsn-project.net/forums/ to see if your problem has already been solved by other users who post there.
(4) aMSN is not your only choice of OS X applications. You can use either aMSN or Mercury
Either can do webcam video with MSMessenger clients using OS X and your built-in iSight.
aMSN and Mercury work a bit differently, so if you cannot get aMSN working, try Mercury. You can use whichever is easiest or most reliable on your MBA.
(5) As an alternative, because your iNtel Mac can use Boot Camp, VMware Fusion™, Parallels™, or VirtualBox to run Windows® software, you can choose which method you want to use, add the required software to your iNtel Mac (if you have not already done so), and then install and use the same Windows® Messenger application that your contacts use.
If you need more help with Boot Camp than you get here, search or post in Boot Camp discussions category.
