Ichat & msn messenger problems

Is there anyway that I can set my status to invisible on iChat?
Also- was not sure where to put this next question. On msn messenger for mac- when I try and change the emoticons, either add or remove some from my list, it states that I am only allowed a max of 59 emoticons. Would have no problem, except i have only selected about 15..........
Any idea how to change this?
thanks for any help in advance.
Michelle.

Hi Rocket monkey,
No for the Invisible in iChat (At present)
Not sure about MSN for Mac as I have not used it.

Internet/MSN Messenger Problems

Ok, so for the past few weeks I've been having some problems with my msn and the internet. I use my city's cable internet and I'm on an imac OS 10.4.6 800MHz PowerPC G4.
When I log onto the internet in any browser, it works just fine. But, when I log into MSN messenger, messegner tells me no one is online. I know that's not true because there is always someone online. Anyway, I log out of msn, but when I go back to use the internet, it doesn't work and I have to unplug my modem and plug it back in (reset it) to get the internet to work again.
I then decided to use my iBook laptop to use the internet. MSN worked just fine on my laptop and I had no problms until two days ago I had gotten a list of updates from mac. (I chose to get weekly updates in System Preferences). The updates were for iTunes, iPod, and a Mac OS X PowerPC update. I had done that at night, then when it was finished updating I shut the laptop down and went to bed. The next morning my laptop was giving me the same problems my imac was.
Then today my iMac wouldn't let me log onto the internet at all, when my laptop would. After I rebooted my computer it let me on.
The other strange thing is that when I tried to log in with my Apple ID to post here, it told me my ID was disabled because of security reasons, so I had to make a new ID.
Does anyone have any idea what's going on? Do I have some kind of virus maybe? I have no clue. Help!

After the upsdates did you run "Disk Utility" and "Repair Permissions" ?
do this preferably before and after a system update, it does fix a lot of these little problems and prevents potential hassles in the future.
Another excellent repair utility is "Applejack", go to Google and get the address and download the application (Donationware).
This program runs in Single User Mode and repairs a lot more than Disk Utility, afterwards you'll find your Mac running faster and with fewer problems.
Good luck

IChat & MSN Messenger Fail to Function

I used to think that it was just iChat that wasn't working, but I recently downloaded MSN Messenger, and it also won't work. I can connect to the internet and everything, but the message that keeps popping up when I try to use iChat & Messenger is that I am not connected to the internet.
Side Note: iChat and Messenger work everywhere, except for with the internet at my house. They programs work on my Windows computers with the same internet connection, but not on my Mac. My friend, who also has a MacBook cannot get iChat to connect at my house either.
So I am just completely puzzled. Any help?

IChat + MSN Messenger Contacts + iSight = Video Conferencing

I have recently converted my windows-based laptop to a MacBook. Thus, I am very new to this new system. I need some assistance or guidance as I am unsure of how I can:
1) use iChat or equivalent with video conferencing features (because MSN Messenger for Mac does not have important feature) to video conference with my contacts in MSN Messenger for Windows?
2) still be able to chat with my contacts in MSN Messenger for Windows, without them installing iChat or equivalent?
3) use the built-in iSight to video conference with them?
4) configure iChat or equivalent to chat with my contacts if all of the above are possible?
Much appreciated.

1) If video conferencing is so important you could use skype or a jabber client that supports both video and audio. Your friends have to install skype or a jabber client too though.
2) With a jabber account and iChat you can chat with your buddies on msn, yahoo, aim google-talk, ICQ etc. This is done through Jabber-gateways or transports. JabberLive! ( http://jabberlive.org ) has many gateways you can register with.
3) Possible through skype or a jabber client that supports both video and audio.
4) If you want to chat with your buddies using iChat you definitely have to get a jabber account. ( I can recommend http://jabberlive.org)

ITunes 4.7 and 6 MSN Messenger Problem

Once I downloaded iTunes 6, I could not use the music as a personal message in msn messenger!!!!

You will need to tell the forum what operating system you're using. Jaguar, Panther, Tiger and what version. This would help greatly. If you're a PC user then I suspect none of the following information will be of value to you.
If you're a Macintosh user this feature is NOT available on any of the Macintosh Microsoft MSN Messengers including their newest version Microsoft Messenger 5.0. This feature is only available for their PC users.
However, the software below does support this feature.
aMSN (a clone MSN Messenger) go to their forum and download the beta version -- http://forums.cocoaforge.com/viewforum.php?f=14 -- It has text, file transfer, webcam, not sure if it has voice/audio as yet. Remember it will have bugs as it is a beta version. You may or may not need the following for aMSN to work on Tiger. I know you need them for Jaguar and Panther. The tcl/tk interpreter (version 8.3 or later) found at -- http://tcl.sourceforge.net -- and also ImageMagick -- http://www.cmq.qc.ca/4w/amsn -- Read FAQs. PC users do not need this program, they can use the normal msn messenger. Once downloaded and all is working correctly for you go to Tools/Select Plugins/Music and load it.
Mercury (a clone MSN Messenger) go to their forum and try and find their beta version and download it -- http://www.mercury.to/index.php?page=Forum -- It has text, file transfer, webcam, not sure if it has voice/audio as yet. Remember it will have bugs aslo it is a beta version. Read FAQs. PC users do not need this program, they can use the normal msn messenger. You should find this feature in the "preference" settings.
The above 2 programs also have a Windows version.

Yahoo and MSN messenger problems

Hi,
I have a Blackberry Curve 8900, and since I have upgrade MSN and Yahoo messengers to v 2.5.27, I have the same problem with both of them.
When I try to send a picture, I get the message: "Untaught exception: UI engine accessed without holding the event lock" , and I'm logged off automatically.
How can I fix this, or downgrade to the previous version?
Thank you

this works for me:
edit:
/Applications/Yahoo! Messenger.app/Contents/Resources/Default.ymStyle/main.js
look for line 417:
body.scrollTop = body.scrollHeight - document.clientHeight;
change to:
body.scrollTop = body.scrollHeight;
hope it works for you

Hi semdogg: In addition to Rick's advice, you may wish to try another chat program. I have had great luck with Adium. I was using MSN and Yahoo for Mac: both were horrible progams. Adium is available here: http://www.adiumx.com/ Although the server appears to be down right now

Nokia 6700 Classic MSN Messenger Problem

For some reason i cant even sign into MSN i was never able to. I have 3.5G access here and am able to surf the net with it but not eable to go on MSN. Did anyone on here have this problem?

I would love to know the solution to this as I am seriously thinking of going back to my 6500 slide due to people thinking I am a dalek when they call me.
I don't understand how when I call out or use the phone through my car's handsfree system there is no problem.
I absolutely love the simple design of the 6700 and would love it even more if I didn't have to phone every caller back when they have given up trying to understand what I am trying to say.
I have turned off the voice clarity feature that I thought was the issue and still the proplem remains.
Has anyone managed to get anywhere with this?

IChat, MSN and webcam support

Hi all and specially the iChat Apple people here.
I've bought a Mac Mini last weekend and i'm already disappointed. iWeb makes images too big (replacement any old webdesigh tools), Safari works with only 50% of the sites (alternative Firefox), iChat doesn't work with MSN and webcam (alternative Mercury), etc (what's left of the integration between the built-in applications?).
Anyway, i'm in the iChat forum now.
When is Apple going to make iChat MSN Messenger compatible and when is iChat going to support USB webcams?
Thanks,
Ton.

"When is iChat going to support USB webcams?"
You can use a USB webcam with iChat using a 3rd party
application that can be found here:
http://www.ecamm.com/mac/ichatusbcam/
But does that work with the Jabber protocol?
I think that Jabber doesn't support webcam in MSN transport, but i may be wrong there.

MSN Messenger on iChat

Hello all.
Just got my first Mac and I'm still a little lost.
On windows I always used MSN Messenger. All my friends use it.
I already downloaded it for Mac, but it is very limited in comparison. The biggest problem is that it does not support video.
I was wondering if there's a way to talk to MSN Messenger users using iChat.
If it isn't possible, maybe there's another software that will do it.
thanks
Leo

Hi
For MSN look at aMSN(video but no audio) http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/14200
And Mercury(video but no audio) http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/14970
To use MSN with jabber see http://allforces.com/2005/05/06/ichat-to-msn-through-jabber/ no video or audio.
Your best bet between Mac and PC is Skype
Mac version http://www.skype.com/download/skype/macosx/index.html

Mac OS X Update (Power PC) 10.4.6 caused MSN Messenger, Internet Problems

Hey Guys, Heres my problem. A couple days ago my software update came up and i downloaded the new OS X update 10.4.6 (power PC). that was fine and when it was done I restarted my computer, and when i went to go on the internet it worked fine but once i opened MSN messenger and tried to sign in , it would let me sign in but once i get signed in there would be no one online and shortly after i would lose my internet connection. So in short form when i sign into msn it causes me to lose my internet connection. I have treid to download msn again but no difference and i have also tried AMSN and it does the same thing. I am not sure if it has anything to do with the new OS X update or not
If anyone could help me out with this, that would be great.
Thanks.
Mike

Hi, Mike.
You might want to search or post on the "Microsoft Messenger for Mac" group you can find on the Microsoft Mac Support - Newsgroups page. These are Google Groups with active participation from MS Microsoft Messenger for Mac users, including a variety of expert users.
I don't mean to send you somewhere else, but I've found numerous answers there for folks with questions related to MS products. Accordingly, it has often proved to be the first, best place to look for answers to questions such as you are asking.
Good luck!

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.
