How can I chat with my MSN Messenger friends using Messages in Lion (not iChat)?
I use MSN Messenger daily to talk with friends but I would like to use Messages to chat with them. Is there a way to do this? I looked in the preferences but it only lists AIM, Google, Yahoo and Jabber. I don't use any of those ones. I only use MSN. Anybody know how, or if it's even possible?
HI,
The Messages Beta has run out.
The End Date was the 14th December 2012.
However iChat and Messages in Mountain lion can be enabled to Add MSN Buddies to a Jabber List using Transports.
These Instructions detail how you can use a third Party app (in this case Psi) to enable a Transport on a Server that uses Transports and then Add MSN Buddies to your Jabber Buddy list.
The Instructions were written some while ago and include many pictures.
The current version of Psi is newer than the pics but you can still work out what to do.
The process will only enable Text Chatting

How CAN i chat with iMac cam ans iPhone 3GS
How CAN i chat with iMac cam and use iPhone 3GS chat
There is no web cam chatting with an iPhone - not yet anyway, but certainly not with and never with a 3GS which doesn't have a front facing camera. The iPhone 4 has a front facing camera for a FaceTime call with fellow iPhone 4 users only at the present time. You can instant message with someone on a computer - with someone using iChat on a Mac, but the iMac's camera will not be involved.

How can i chat with yahoo id useing people by useing video chat
how can i use yahoo messenger in ipad for useing videochat
Zurich,
I don't think the web-based Yahoo Messenger supports video, so nothing you can do with that.
http://messenger.yahoo.com/features/
I think there are Mac compatible MSN clients that will do video, (i.e. aMSN) Also, Microsoft plans on releasing an updated version of Messenger for Mac soon.
http://www.officeformac.com/blog/An-Update-on-Messenger-for-Mac
GoogleTalk does have a browser based video chat, but your friends would need to install a browser plug-in. (which I would assume that can't do either)
The best option is Skype, but also requires an install on their end (I would think that the internet cafes would/should have this available)
Good Luck,

How can i chat with someone from adobe creative cloud?
I am a student & "rent" the adobe creative suite 6 from the cloud for $19.99 per month. I was told I could download a second copy of the programs I use on a second computer (my laptop). However, the download function doesn't work to do so. Any suggestions? Thanks.
You could start by telling us what happens when you try as well as the system you’re trying to install it on.

How can I disable iMessage notifications on iPhone while using Messages beta on Mac?
Hi all! I'm very excited about the new Messages app on my Mac, which allows iMessage between Macs and i devices! Just downloaded it right now and it's excellent! However, I notice a possible flaw in which whenever I receive a message from someone, it will notify me on both my Mac AND my iPhone! As you might imagine, it's pretty annoying given iMessages are flying through on my Mac. I was wondering if anyone knows how to stop iPhone notifications when messaging on Mac. I hope this feature will be added in ASAP from Apple if it doesn't exist yet! Thanks in advance!
You would have to turn it off on the phone. Read receipts as referenced above is not related to your question at all.
I don't find it to be too irritating, but I don't message frequenly enough for it to get all that annoying. -
yahoo states that I cannot utilize email chat or messenger unless I have Firefox 8. How can I get Firefox 8? I downloaded 9 and now can't chat with friends and family in Yahoo...**sigh**
Hi Tgordineer,
This sounds like a known issue reported here:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=713014
There was a workaround posted, but I've not tested it myself. Here are the steps.
# Go into Yahoo Messenger Options - Change the Window in the dropdown to Tab and press OK.
# Then go back and switch it to small window and press OK.
Once the bug is officially resolved, you could try running a Nightly or Aurora build to use the fix early.
Hopefully this helps! -

How can I filter my 500+ email contacts to just those I can facetime chat with?
You will need to remove it as your rescue email : log into your account via the 'manage your apple id' button on http://appleid.apple.com, select the 'Password And Security' section on your account's screen, and answer the two security questions that show - you should then be taken to another screen where you can change or remove your rescue email address.
Then try logging out of your account and then log back in and see if you can then use it as your primary email address. -
How can i speak with someone from apple live chat??
How can i speak with someone from apple live chat??I want to ask something
Yes, that is the key to it. In North America live chat is available, though I would question the value of it. It usually takes ten times longer to 'chat' than to talk or even send an eMail. Why don't you ask your question here; by far the most realistic means of attracting a reasonably accurate answer.

Hi, I'm using BlackBerry Curve 8520
All this time, my messenger works fine.. But now my Messenger can't chat with certain people.

Is it an error? Or they have blocked me or something? Or connection problem?
Sorry if this already posted.
Sincerely:
Andy.
