Can I get my MSN Messenger on iChat?

Hi,
I am a new switcher to Mac and I love it.
I was wondering if there was anyway I could add my MSN Messenger account to iChat as all my friends use that service. I don't know anyone who uses iChat!
Thanks for your help.

  • Yahoo and MSN Messenger in iChat

    Hi
    I want to use iChat for Yahoo and MSN Messenger. I want to use it mainly for the Video chat feature in iChat.
    thanks

    Hi,
    If you can get the Yahoo IM app for Mac to work (It is still in Beta and has been for Years) then it is the only direct way.
    Tokbox is a Web Browser Based Chat site that allows you to use your Camera. (It uses the Flash Plug-in)
    It has the advantage in that you can link in your existing Buddy Lists.
    Mebeam is a less formal site that does similar (Lees the Buddy List Linking)
    The MSN App will only Video Chat if you are linked to the correct Microsoft Server (I forget the name exactly)
    ProteusX and Adium are both essentially text Based Mac Apps that can join multiple IM Services.
    I believe Adium now uses a link to MeBeam to do Video Chats (I have not tested this)
    See my Comments to Mackural about what is possible with GoogleTalk names.

  • MSN Messenger on iChat 3.0

    Hi All,
    Just wondering if anyone can help me to integrate my msn messenger contact list into iChat. I' have set up a jabber account via spark and attempted to login into jabber via iChat but when i do so, my contacts are not visible. Also when i login in with jabber, my contacts are messed up, for all of them, it stats, awaiting authorization, which never changes for any. I'm wondering if i am overlooking something....any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks! !

    Hi Sundeep24,
    Sounds like you have not sorted a Jabber Server with what are called Transports.
    iChat can use the Jabber side to only if the Jabber Server you are using has the required Transport and you have elected/registered to use it.
    See the first three links here
    1) is how to set up the Jabber side that you probably don't need.
    2) is how to set up Transports. (AllForces link)
    3) is a List of Public servers and what transports and other features they offer.

    Hello there,

  • Can't sign-in MSN messenger

    Hi every1
    I couln't sign-in msn messenger 6.0.3, the message is "the user name or password is not correct" while both r correct.
    I think that the issue is related to a firewall or something that is blocking the messenger.
    any1 can help me?
    PS; I'm new to Mac

    Do you have any 3rd party firewall running?
    If you think it's Ports being blocked...

    Might also find that entry in Keychain Access and delete that entry and try again.

  • MSN Messenger on iChat

    Hello all.
    Just got my first Mac and I'm still a little lost.
    On windows I always used MSN Messenger. All my friends use it.
    I already downloaded it for Mac, but it is very limited in comparison. The biggest problem is that it does not support video.
    I was wondering if there's a way to talk to MSN Messenger users using iChat.
    If it isn't possible, maybe there's another software that will do it.
    thanks

    Hi
    For MSN look at aMSN(video but no audio) http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/14200
    And Mercury(video but no audio) http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/14970
    To use MSN with jabber see http://allforces.com/2005/05/06/ichat-to-msn-through-jabber/ no video or audio.
    Your best bet between Mac and PC is Skype
    Mac version http://www.skype.com/download/skype/macosx/index.html

  • MSN Messenger through iChat?

    Hi guys, am a new iMac user and I just wanted to know if there was a way to setup msn messenger, maybe as jabber, in iChat and how to do so.
    The only reason to do this is to be able to use the great iSight with my friends who use msn messenger since msn messenger for mac doesnt have such an option for iSight.
    Am currently using aMSN, which provides support for iSight but it doesnt allow sound, so i cant hear them and they cant hear me.
    Any suggestion?
    Thank you.

    You may wish to also cross post in one of the iChat AV Forums where the iChat users hang out.
    Good luck

  • Can I add my MSN contacts to iChat using my .Mac account?

    I was wondering if there is anyway to add my MSN contacts on to iChat using my Mac account. I know that it is possible using a Jabber account and using my MSN account on iChat, but since I am paying for a .Mac account I might as well maximize its capabilties.
    Please help,
    shivsensarma

    You can not add MSN Buddies to the AIm Buddy List.
    You can however create a Jabber ID and then with a Third Party App link to what is called a Transport that will connect you to the MSN Service for Text Only chats.
    Read the first two links in this section
    http://www.ralphjohns.co.uk/page5.html#_jabber
    The third link is the most up-to-date List of Jabber Servers with Transports I have found.
    I may receive some form of compensation, financial or otherwise, from my link to my website.

  • Can I get the Facebook Messenger app for iMac?

    Is it possible to get the Facebook Messenger app for iMac?

    No. The weather app comes bundled with iOS for those devices only, so it's not available on the App Store or anywhere else, for any other devices.
    Isn't there a weather app for the iPad? If not, I'm sure there are plenty of alternatives on the App Store.

  • Can I use my msn account with ichat?

    I tried to connect to my msn account via Jabber, but the connection to the host : "hotmail.com" failed!
    What happened?
    Its the same thing for a google talk account!!!
    ( I didn't try with an AIM account because I don't have one but i think it should be the same )
    Just an other question : do all Mac owners have an @me.com adresse and how to obtain it?
    Last question : can we use Skype accounts with ichat?
    Thank you all

  • RE:  Can't get vid to work with ichat

    Yesterday my vid and sound worked with ichat and now only my sound. It's frustrating because they both still work on quicktime. I am using a logitech 9000 as my camera. Anyone else have the same problem? Thanks, George

    Hi
    First have you set the Quicktime streaming setting, goto sys prefs/quicktime/streaming/streaming speed, set to 1.5mbps
    In ichats prefs click on video and change bandwidth limit to 500.
    Restart iChat.

  • Can I get my msn mail on the Firefox home page?

    How many ways can I say it? Want to be able to see my email on my Firefox homepage.

    The built-in Firefox home page doesn't have the option to add your mailbox to the existing page. But you can make your mailbox your home page so when you start Firefox or open a new window, that will load automatically.
    For example, one way is, while viewing the page you want as your home page, you drag the padlock icon from the left side of the address bar and drop it on the Home button (house icon). This article describes that and other techniques: [[How to set the home page]].
    Does that help?
