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.

    Hi all,

    Thanks,

  • 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.

    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

    the update. See Gulliver's Mac OS X 10.3/10.4: System maintenance FAQ for why.)

  • Can you use IMAP with the ipads mail feature?

    Can you use IMAP with the ipads mail feature?

    Kappy,
    Yes, our domain and email accounts are on a server that does accept IMAP. Also, our mac mini and imacs are all set up for IMAP. Buying an ipad will enable me to work from home during this winter.
    Another ?: do you know if you can use text edit with the iPads mail feature? Reason being we have about 100 generic emails that all we have to do is change a few fields before sending out. Can this be integrated in without having to recreate all these messages?

  • Using iSight with Mac Messenger ?

    I was just wondering if anyone knew a way to use the iSight with Mac Messenger, and, or view someone else's webcam? I've been told by friends that it's not possible but I just wanted to check here incase there is some 'backalley' way to do so.
    Thanks for your time

    Thanks, but i was just really looking if it was possible with Mac Messenger. I've tried aMSN in the past and it gave me a lot of problems so i don't want to go down that route again.
    It doesn't really matter if it isn't possible i just though it wouldn't hurt to ask.
    Thanks anyway

  • Can you use Appletv with iPhone only?

    A friend has an iPhone, no Mac, still running a pc. Wants to get an ATV2. Can she use it with just an iPhone?

    She can use it with iTunes on the PC.
    Renting movies/internet based functions do not require a computer at all.
    An iPhone 4 (and 3GS I think) can send compatible media to AppleTV2 via the Airplay function - computer not essential for this.

  • Can you use webcam on msn?

    i tried using webcam on msn but there is no link, does this mean it doesnt support it?

    Welcome to Discussions, Simone17
    MSN Messenger for Mac does not support video except via Office Communications Server 2007 (usually paid for by commercial enterprises rather than individual users.) However, even without the paid server, it is possible for you to use your iNtel Mac to video with your friends who use the PC version of the MSN Messenger family of apps. Here are a couple of ways you can try:
    (1) Take a look at   aMSN   and   Mercury
    Either can do webcam video with your built-in iSight.
    They work a bit differently, so use whichever you find easiest or most reliable on your MBA.
    (2) 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 are using to video chat with them.
    The Windows drivers for your built-in iSight and your other Mac hardware are on the disk with Boot Camp so, after you have installed a compatible version of Windows on your Mac, you can install the iSight driver and use your built-in iSight if you like. If you need more help on this, search or post in Boot Camp discussions category
    (3) If your friends are willing to try something "new and improved" (does NOT work with Messenger):
    you can both install and try a different video chat app such as Google Talk or Skype.

  • Digital Vault: can you use Filechute with digital ...

    I'm hoping to use Filechute (a Mac OS program) with my BT Digital Vault allowance.  (I have Filechute working fine with Dropbox.)
    Filechute can be configured with either an FTP or a WebDAV enabled server
    The set up needs:
    1   Host Name
    2   my username and password - I have these ok!
    3   upload URL
    4   download URL
    Has someone got the settings, or can you suggest what they may be?
    Many thanks

  • Can you use Redrum with GarageBand?

    Hey, I just got a new Mac on Friday (my first mac ever), and was wondering if you could use redrum with Garage Bands Loops. What I want to do is use the loops I make in Propellerhead Reasons Redrum with Garage Bands Loop file. Can someone tell me or even if this is possible??

    I have BFD Lite that came bundled with my ControlPad, & while it is a fully funtional drum solution, I've found EZDrummer to be, well, easier to use. Of course it depends on your intended application-do you want to trigger the sounds manually through pads or a keyboard, or are you looking for premade midi patterns? Both apps will work for either case, but the midi pattern interface for BFD is far more obtuse than that of EZD. All in all, I can appreciate the flexibility that BFD offers, but I use EZD 99% of the time, and I'm a long time drummer. FWIW, I rarely use the patterns, & trigger from a DrumKat or the ControlPad.
    One caveat for drag & drop-GB will create an oddball track (mine is a flute track) & you'll need to re-drag the pattern into your drum track & eliminate the placeholder track.

  • Can you use Itunes with out an apple id?

    my stepson has an Ipod and Itunes but he isn't old enough to have an apple id, what do we need to do? can he use them?

    No. It has never been migrated to Linux.
    With the current market share that Linux has, I seriously doubt that it will ever be migrated to that platform.

  • Can you use bb with terminal services?

    I have a bb curve 8330 - my work outlook is on a terminal session.... how do I sync my bb with outlook? 

    Hello,
    The BB Desktop manager synchronsies the Handset through the MAPI PROFILE to the Mail system (through a BES if you use that option).
    No MAPI Profile = No BB sync.
    So, Terminal services or not, you need to set up a  MAPI profile on your Local PC.
    If you cant do that due to VPN/firewall restrictuions/etc  then you cant sync the BB to your outlook data at all.
    Sorry.

  • Can you use ResourceBundle with resrouce that are grouped within folders?

    Hi I'm trying to internationalize my program by using the java ResrouceBundle.
    Is there a way to use it with resources that have been grouped into folders?
    For example, instead of using locale to specify the resource name as MessageBundle_en_US.properties, I would like to specify the locale name as the resource folder name like this:
    resources_en_US/MessageBundle.properties
    or resources_fr_FR/MessageBundle.properties etc.
    Is there something already available for this in the API that i'm not aware of or, if possible, is there a way to overwrite the ResrouceBundle package to handle this?

    Hi Simon,
    Yes, I understand people would expect it to work on the emulator too, but the point of Scout is really to provide you information about the real performance (on the device and in production) to be really accurate and reflect the reality.
    Having it work with the emulator would always be an approximation, which could still maybe be valuable, but we thought we would focus on production code.
    But thanks for bringing this up, it is valuable feedback about your experience.

  • How can I use isight on MSN

    Can someone please tell me how I can see someone on MSN with my isight camera? All my grandchildren have pc's and I would like to see them. I don't want to change my Apple as I love it, but do want to be able to see and talk to them.
    Many thanks

      Hello, bbones.All my grandchildren have pc's and I would like to see them. I don't want to change my Apple as I love it...To connect with PC users who will consider no video chat software other than MSN on their PCs, Tony's and Al2teach's suggestions are your best bet.
    However, if your PC using children will consider installing different software at THEIR end to allow you to see your grandkids, there are many other alternatives available. Some of these alternatives are explained in Mac Video Chat with PCs.
    Provided that both you and your children meet the requirements listed, either AIM 5.9 (free to the PC user) or Trillian Pro (available for a modest price to the PC user) will connect with your Mac's iChat AV for great quality video with audio.
    If you are also willing to install different software on the Mac you love, there are several video chat/conference alternatives that require new software for both the Mac and the PC. You can find links to several cross-platform video chat or video conference apps, including iVisit, SightSpeed, iSpQ, and Marratech, at Some Applications You Can Use With iSight. These alternative apps vary widely in functional capability, price, system requirements, and video quality. Check their web sites carefully to determine which might be of interest.
