How do I download Windows Live or MSN Messenger on my Tiger OS X Mac??

... the title pretty much sums it up.

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
MSN Messenger on the Mac is pretty antiquated, and there is very little more than text chat support for it. oPhoneX has better support for video, and so does iChat videochat with AIM for Windows but not on MSN except with its capability to do Jabber which also is text only support. Skype has crossplatform support as well for videochat on its own network.
If you have an Intel Mac Boot Camp and Parallels may support video chat on Windows, though I haven't tried it yet. You can ask on the Boot Camp forum if anyone has tried, if your Mac supports it.

  • Rookie needs help downloading Windows Live Mobile to her BB Curve 8310

    How do I download Windows Live Mobile to my BB Curve 8310??
    I've tried both the Hotmail Windows Live and the link to the Blackberry Live, but am not getting anywhere.
    The Hotmail Windows Live link comes thru, but if I click on it nothing happens or I get lots and lots of black little squares.
    If I clik on the try it link for the blackberry specifically, I get a page that just tells more information, but nothing to download.....??
    If I go the software page, I get confused; nothing there that is specifically for the Windows Live Mobile??
    Any suggestions??  Thanks in advance!!

    i have a question about the windows live mobile.  Is it like instant messages? Does it drain the battery and are you notified of  a text like the you are with SMS, MMS, and emails?

  • Download windows live messenger n96

    where cn i download windows live messenger for my nokia n96 fanxs

    Hello guys,
    Having read about your discussion about windows live messenger for N96 I thought i'd throw in a few things.
    First off the windows live messenger isn't out for the N96, Like few of you here who has an N96 I have purchased one aswell and I tried various different forums and went into the download but I still have no success for the messenger.
    As for those of you who are looking for the .sisx file, it is possible to get it, the tip is if you can get hold of an N95/N95 8GB,
    1 - Download the 'Nokia Download' software onto your pc and install it.
    2 - Once installation has finished connect the N95/N95 8GB to your pc then run the 'Download' program from your PC, wait till the application detects the phone.
    3 - After this process is done, in the 'Download' program you will see a tab for 'Applications' click on it and you will find the 'Windows Live I.M' click on it and download it.
    4 - After the download has finished look at the bottom right hand corner of the 'Download' application, you will see a status bar showing you how much has been downloaded or if it shows the bar is full it means its fully downloaded, if this is the case then you will notice that it is automatically installing the 'windows Live I.M' into your phone however you have to cancell it by pressing the 'X' button located beside the status bar as mentioned before.
    5 - Once you cancel the installation you can either leave you phone connected to your PC or disconnected but the next step is on your PC find and select your user folder on C: drive then go to 'Appata/Roaming/Nokia/Nokia Download!' then you will see two files in .sisx one is called 'Nokia Internet Service Support Pack 1' (This file is to be installed into you phone before Windows Live I.M to support messenger) and the second file is 'Windows Live I.M' which should be installed in to your phone after the 'Nokia Internet Service Support pack l') you can install both files in the order explained into your phone buy connecting your N96 to your PC and double click on the files one at a time then run the installation or transfer both files directly into your phone and install it that way.
    I have actually tried this myself but I had no luck in being able to install either of the files because I keep getting an error messages but if anyone else wants to give it a try then do so, if you have any luck with your N96 then post us the outcome here please.
    The only thing I can think of is the N96 is not recognising the 'Signed Certificate' which is encrypted into the 'Nokia Internet Support Pack 1' file hence why I or anyone else will have trouble installing it. Remember without the 'Nokia Internet Support Pack 1', Windowes Live I.M will not install into your phone.
    Sorry for the long essay guys but that was the process from my experience and I hope Nokia and Windows Live do something about this to make the software available for the N96 soon.
    Bless to all.

  • How do I download Windows 7 64 bit drivers for my new MacBook Air (Mid 2011) from a Windows 7 PC?

    How do I download Windows 7 64 bit drivers for my new MacBook Air (Mid 2011)? I have already formated the HD and preformed a clean install of Windows 7. Perhaps I did this too early. I have read I need to install the drivers from my OS X DVD, however, OS X Lion does not come on a DVD! I've also read that I can download OS X Lion from the App Store and burn it to a DVD, however, all I have are Windows PCs which don't support the Mac App Store.
    Is there no way for me to download these drivers from a Windows PC?  I know they exist.  However, you are supposed to download them through Boot Camp in OS X when you are creating a new Windows 7 installation.  I'm I stuck?

    I am pretty disappointed in the lack of documentation.
    This is the Apple Support page for Boot Camp:
    http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/
    No mention anywhere of Lion, of 4.0/4.01
    In the past, 10.6.6+ was suppose to - and sometimes did - provide for a download drivers from within Boot Camp Assistant program, in order to save them to flash or such (that should be about 1GB, too large for CD). Some macs req'd a USB-DVD or other driver that was needed pre-install of Winidows
    You don't install Apple drivers until after Windows is installed otherwise,
    It is possible for me, with a tower, to run w/o needing any drivers from Apple. But with laptops, mini, you do need some drivers from Apple for graphics, internet, wireless, SMC support.
    And right now, loading any Apple support Tech Note articles is very very slow.
    People keep asking why Apple can't post 3.0 or 4.0 like they do the updates. Only logic is to force t he download from inside OS X or from an OS X DVD. Otherwise would be here, and avoid all the trouble. they aren't of use on a PC, and any PC motherboard vendor does post their support software for download.

    That is because whoever programmed the web site used Internet Explorer extentions. These will only run in Internet Explorer. So, use a computer with Windows to use that web site.

    Am I the only one that see's the walled garden horror in that statement?
    Go to a Office type store or online and buy a copy of Windows  7 Home Basic, Home or Pro  (whatever) and stick the 64bit DVD into the computer.
    You'll have to first learn about Bootcamp  if your going to want to dual boot, it's complex and a hassle, but gives full hardware performance.
    https://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/
    Another way is to first install VMFusion, Parallels or VirtualBox and then install Windows into that, Windows runs like a file in a window on OS X. You can run Windows programs in that, but it's not as powerful as BootCamp method, but more convenient for most normal (non-hardware taxing) programs.

  • How do i download 10.9 or 10.8 if i have a 2008 mac book pro running os x 10.5.8

    how do i download 10.9 or 10.8 if i have a 2008 mac book pro running 10.5.8

    I might also add your signature is not in congruence with your post.  Do you have 10.8.5, or 10.5.8.  10.8.5 is a free update to 10.9.   10.5.8, you must buy 10.6, download the free 10.6.8 combo to get to 10.8 or 10.9 via the App Store.
    The sequence of the numbers matters greatly.
    Per my prior post
    10.5.8 < 10.6< 10.6.8 < 10.7 < 10.8 < 10.8.5 < 10.9
    People just wanting 10.7 from 10.5.8 can purchase either 10.6 on CD, download 10.6.6 combo, and use the App Store to upgrade to 10.7.   They can also purchase the 10.7 USB Flash drive if it can be found, and install it on an external drive, and import the data over once they are ready to run 10.7.
    The key is knowing your software and driver compatibility.
