How do I use iChat (Jabber) to utilize my MSN account?

Heya,
So I have a client that their whole team uses MSN messenger, of course that is not the easiest thing to setup in iChat, but I've been told from various sources it can certainly be done. However, all the tutorials I've found on it are convoluted and I'm not very good at following instructions. Can anyone help?
Thanks!

Jabber worksok but weird things happend to me. I ended up with contacts of my contacts, people that I did not know they existed....Don't be surprise if you have people asking who you are.
Also, it seems that if you use live messenger on another computer and add new contacts, when you login back to jabber, it will pop up confirmation messeges. Also A/V does not seems to work with jabber. That was the only reason why I tried jabber and I was very disappointed
Bottom line, Ichat is nice if you pay the $100/year to use it, otherwise it *****

    i would like to know how to start using ichat on my new 4gs ?

    Hi,
    There is no iChat on the iOS 5 devices
    However iChat on a Mac can send SMS messages to a Phone - Providing the computer  thinks it is in the United States and the Phone is serviced by a USA Carrier that takes part in the AIM Forwarding service.

    How can I use Ichat or factime to video conference remote famiy members who have windows computers?

    HI,
    You can use iChat to Video to PCs that are using the AIM for PC app or have the Trillian App with the Pro Add-on (which costs).
    As you list OS 10.7.4 you may find you can find a copy of the Messages Beta  (technically it was withdrawn before the release date for Mountain Lion that has the Full version)
    Although this Users Tip was written a while ago it may also pay to read it

  • How can I use ichat on my macbook pro to send messages to my iPod 5

    How can I use ichat on my Macbook Pro to send messages to my iPod 5 ?

    If ipod 5 means ipod touch or iphone 5, simply create a AIM account and download the AIM iphone app. iChat and iMessage aren't compatible.

  • How do i use 2 ipod touches with 1 itunes account?

    how do i use 2 ipod touches with 1 itunes account?  can they share apps and music etc. I'm not very good at any tech so advise would be much appreciated.

    Yes. You can sync an unlimited number of iDvies that you control to one iTunes library/account. If using the same iTunes library on the same comutr just make sure that yu go to the ap. music and other pane for the iPod in iTunes and select sycn selected items. Not the the whole library.  That way each iPod can have it own contents.

  • How can I use iChat for Hotmail?

    I would like to use iChat with hotmail... is it possible? ANy other method thatn Jabber?

    Hi,
    The only method at the moment to Contact MSN Buddies is using the Jabber Method and a Jabber Transport.
    MSN for Mac version 8 can be downloaded as a free Standalone from Mactopia (the Microsoft Mac Pages) and can do Video chats.

  • HT204053 if i have an Apple ID associated with a hotmail account...how do I use IChat?

    i am learning how to set up IChat and have an Apple ID associated with a hotmail acct. Do I need to set up a mac.com or me.com acct in order to use IChat?
    or if I had an old AIM acct how do recover that password?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")

  • How do I use adobe on 3 pcs with one account

    How do I use adobe on three pcs with one account

    Which Adobe product exactly?
    Adobe licenses allow a maximum of two simultaneous activations. Not three.
    You can install the software on three but only activate it for use on two - but not use them both at the same time.
    If you really need to activate it on three then you will need to buy an extra license.

  • How can you use iChat or Jabber in a small office

    We currently use "Quick Conference" which allows you to see who is logged in at startup, immediately send them a message without doing anything else and it just "works". You don't have to drag them somewhere or invite them to anything.
    I don't see any way to use Jabber or iChat the same way.
    Looks to me like I have to start up Jabber every day and "Invite" EVERY employee every day? With only 21 employees, that's still onerous.
    Also, I've read about using Safari as a bookmark for ChatRooms but that requires naming a Chat. I see nowhere to do that. I can "start" a new chat and invite others to join, but that's a LONG way to go each and every day for the same people.
    I just want a simple, internal communication system that people don't have to do anything with but select who they want to send amessage to and hit it....
    Any more than that and I'll stay with Quick Conference.
    Am I looking at the wrong product??

    Hi,
    Both the AIM buddy window (Buudy list) and Jabber can make 'calls' to the outside world.
    The Main Buudy List (AIM) can only chat to people via the AIM servers.
    Jabber can work just on your local LAN if you set up a Jabber sever. It can also connect to other Jabber users through a Public server. More info here

  • How do i use ichat? Where is it on my macbook air?

    I want to video chat, i heard about ichat but i don't know how to use it or where it is on my desktop?
    10 points to best answer!

    When you select , you will see "About this Mac". After you click it, a window will appear, so look at "Version" under OS X text.

  • How can I use iCloud to sync to just my account on my iMac and not to my husband's account?

    I have an iMac using OS X 10.7.5.  I have separate accounts for myself and my husband.  I also have an iPhone and an iPad.  How do I get iCloud to sync my account with my iPad and iPhone without syncing with my husband's account on the iMac?

    If you are  using the same AppleID you cannot, just create seperate AppleID's and you should be OK.

  • How do I use one iTunes library for several user accounts?

    This is definitely a question!
    I have several user accounts for my osx. One I use at home, one at work etc.
    What I never have been able ta manage is a way to use the same iTunes library (the same music files) for the different accounts.
    When a new user profile is created, everything in it is set to scratch.
    I have tried all kinds of tricks:
    - Direct iTunes to look for It's library on the other users folder (wich doesn't really work, cus even if you are Admin you don't have access to other users folders through another user).
    - Creat an alias for the other library-folder and refere to it.
    etc. etc. You name it...
    Anyone?
