IChat 6.0 on lion and MSN messenger

With iChat 6.0 we all can use jabber , is there a way to add MSN messenger in ichat without use external plugin like transcript from other jabber account?

It should be noted that since iChat now supports IM plug-ins, there may be a third-party plu-gin of MSN's protocol in the future. But I doubt it will come from Apple.

  • 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.

  • Does Lion support MSN Messenger?

    Does Lion support MSN Messenger?  If not, any solutions?

    I'm running MS Office 2011 on Lion and it runs just fine.  No "Full Screen", but it runs just fine.  There may have been an update to install (I know there was an iWork one anyway), but even before I installed any updates Office '11 worked just fine.

  • Microsoft Messenger and MSN Messenger

    Does anyone know how to use Webcam oR Video Call in Microsoft Messenger or MSN Messenger in MAC OS X Leopard? Coz i cannot fing any button for it. Thx before.

    In a word, you can't. Unsupported. Adium does a poor attempt with a plugin that only works if others have the same plugin; and I am told that iChat will work, but this is a complex set up if you want MSN.
    To the rescue comes aMSN, or Alvaro's MSN an Open Source application that will work with a webcam although sometimes it is a little creaky.
    I note that your "location" is shown as GMT +7, which sounds awfully close to here. If you are trying to use any other languages than English (particularly Thai) there are problems. Let me know as I have an earlier version for the purpose.

  • Mac and msn messenger

    I am a new maccer wondering how to video chat with my friends who are on msn messenger. Is it poss? i notice the newest mac messenger version does not support it. Is this right? Do i need to run Windows?

    Cipha, unfortunately, MS hadn't seen fit to make MSM compatible with iChat, nor have then made the Mac version of MSM capable of video. Also unfortunately, the iSight isn't going to work under Windows. However, there are ways to have video chats with people on Windows (iChat and AIM 5.9 or Trillian -- but not Triton -- as well as others). You will be able to get more information and help if you go to the iChat forum at this link. HTH.

  • Macbook Pro built-in iSight in Adium and MSN Messenger?

    All of my contacts (about 100 or so) have MSN messenger accounts. Is there a way for me to use my built-in iSight as a webcam in Adium or MSN Messenger? It just seems pointless otherwise since I only know 2 or 3 other people with .mac or AIM accounts that I could chat to via iChat.
    Thanks

  • Webcam and MSN messenger

    I have a MacBook Aluminium version with latest OS software.
    When using webcam (icam) on MSN messenger through both aMSN and Mercury applications why is the invited contact only able to see a blank screen even though they have accepted my invitation and it is showing as connected.
    I have a BT Home Hub 2 and connect through this wirelessly, my daughter can view my webcam when i invite her however she is sharing the same wireless connection through the BT Homehub.

    Welcome to Discussions, gordon bt
    I am unfamiliar with "icam", but, until you get help from someone with more BT experience, you might consider the following.
    If you have ever made successful connection with this contact, you need to check whatever changed since things worked properly.
    I don't know how to fix BT problems, but, in the USA, the thing that usually sorts such trouble for me is to merely shut down everything, wait about a minute, and then restart my modem. When the modem's self-test is complete, I restart my router and let its self-test run to completion. Finally, I restart my Mac and try the connection again. Barring internet or ISP problems, things are working again.
    If your contact has the same problem with others, too, the problem is likely at his end. He should test.
    If with YOU only, as suggested at http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=9544011
    the best help for aMSN and Mercury will be from the dedicated fora for those applications. Did you check? Have you tried everything they suggested?
    Questions about BT service, connections, or setup should be directed to BT. However, you can use a test site like http://www.speedtest.net to verify whether you are getting the promised broadband performance.
    I have also posted this info at your newest post on this same issue at

  • How to block yahoo messenger and msn messenger

    Hi everybody hope u r doing find,
    please I want to block user from using yahoo messenger and live messenger; for that I have an ASA 5510 like perimeter equipment, all internet trafic passing through this ASA; in the same time, I also want to block internet traffic what I did by blocking http and https traffic, but I thought that by blocking these two types of traffic, it will also block yahoo messenger and live messenger but it is not the case
    I am looking forward to hearing you.
    Thx

    Inspect IM supports MSN Messenger 7.0 (Build 7.0.0816), Yahoo Messenger 7.0.0.437.
    The option was to use http inspection to drop msn packets using port 80.
    We provided this config. for the customer and he confirmed that it works.
    regex msn-messenger "^VER [1-9] MSNP[1-9]+.*\x0d\x0a.*MSNMSGR.*\x0d\x0a"
      class-map type inspect http match-all http-msn
       match request method post
       match request body regex msn-messenger
    policy-map type inspect http http-msn
       class http-msn
         reset log
    policy-map global_policy
        class inspection_default
         inspect http http-msn
    I hope it helps.

  • Safari and MSN Messenger

    I'm not sure what's going on but I came home this afternoon, the power apparently went out, and now. all of a sudden, I can't log into MSN Messenger and I keep getting a message when I log into Hotmail that the certificate has expired and that Safari doesn't recognize the url. I tried to launch Messenger. I have it set so that it launches automatically. Because of whatever is going on, I get an error message saying it doesn't recognize my address or password. I've deleted preference list files, reinstalled Messenger, restarted my computer, checked my internet settings...I'm at a loss. I'm sure this question should be posted to Microsoft but their lame a&*ed site doesn't offer ANYTHING in the way of actual support. Is there something I can do on my end or do I have to wait until this certificate issue is resolved?

    In Safari Preferences Security tab Show Cookies and delete the ones related to MSN or Messenger or Hotmail or Microsoft. If that doesn't work you might try resetting Safari but you'll lose your Bookmarks if you don't backup your Users/Home/Library/Safari/Bookmarks.plist file and you'll have to reset Safari preferences.

  • Connecting iChat AV 3.1.4 and Yahoo Messenger

    I have a G5 PowerMac running OS X 10.4.6 with iChat AV 3.1.4 and an iSight web cam, and my son has a PC (running some version of Windows) with Yahoo Messenger and a web cam. By using Yahoo Messenger, I can see his web cam at a 1 frame per second frame rate. However, I haven't yet figured out how to get him to be able to see what my iSight sees, and he tells me that because I have a Mac, he can't operate Yahoo Messenger in "Super Web Cam" mode (with a much higher frame rate).
    From what I've read on the web, including in this discussion forum, it seems like there are solutions to this problem. I had suggested to my son that we try to connect using Jabber and ICQ, but for some reason that didn't seem to work. I think he said that ICQ made his PC hang. Perhaps there was some detail that we overlooked . . .
    Can anyone offer me some wisdom on how to overcoome these problems?
    Thanks!!

    Hi cccmjpd,
    Welcome To The Apple Discussion Pages.
    If the PC user is using AIM then the video quality cna be reduced and the frame rate will go up.
    I am not sure if there is a such a setting in Yahoo!

  • Bb, aim and msn messenger prob

    I have a 3 week old 8120 pearl (t-mobile) and it already has problems.

I have to press "end conversation" and then open it again to see what they have written. Why?

    Hi again Vicky!
    Don't worry...you won't end up hating ur Mac promise! You will honestly have a few things that might not work as well on a Mac as pc...like MSN messenger no video, etc. But after a while you will notice there are many things on a Mac to keep you from ever going back to pc again...promise!
    Ok it's tough to know what to do honestly because you're having a problem accessing the site with two different browsers. And the rest of your internet is working fine. Strange! I'm not even sure what I can suggest??? One thing you might try is you said you reinstalled Messenger but the related files were probably left on your Mac. If you would go to your Users/Library/Preferences folder look for anything there related to MSN messenger and trash it. It's probably something like com.msnmessenger.plist...something like that. Just look though that folder and you will find at least one file with msnmessenger in the name for sure. Don't worry...these are your preferences. If they get corrupt they will corrupt the performance of your app. One of the first things you can always do on a Mac is to trash your preference (plist) file and see if that helps. Beware of course you lose your preferences...but usually you can fix them back easy enough.
    Let's just try that for now and see if it helps messenger or not. Your Mac is new and sounds like you got everything working well...but I'm not sure right now what could prohibit you from accessing Hotmail on both browsers...
    Let me know,
    Reg
    PS - Good job with Skype. Yes this is a very popular choice with Mac users because the app runs on Mac and pc...great!

  • ITunes and MSN Messenger...

    Hi all,
    I'm using iTunes 7.4.3.1 and Windows Live Messenger 8.1 (the latest Build). For some reason, sometimes MSN Messenger shows the What I am Listening to and at other times, it does not display anything. Is there anyway I can make Messenger track what I am listening to? I know that Messenger uses Windows Media Player but I don't ever use it. So is there a fix?
    Thanks,
    Ashar
    EDIT: Yes, the "Show What I am Listening to" is ticked in MSN Messenger.
