Ichat with msn account

I have heard that ichat can be used with my msn account. Is this true? And if it is, what do I have to make it work.

At the moment no. If yu want to use the isight with msn use amsn.sourceforge.net
Bear in mind though that amsn doesn't support audio. For a full featured isight usage without going through ichat you need the skype video preview (http://www.skype.com/download/skype/macosx/videopreview.html). But it's not msn!

Can two peeps use iChat with different accounts on the same computer?

What do I do to REMOVE an old AIM account and replace it with a new account in IChat?
Can two peeps use iChat with different accounts in the same computer?
(Actually, two people share a laptop, but one of us cannot use her AIM account cuz mine is in iChat already... And, when traveling, I have the computer - and I would like to use iChat on the computer...)

In iChat 4 you can have more than one AIM Valid name logged in at once.
AIM valid = AIM, @mac.com or a MobileMe name.
What you are then stuck with is that iChat is linked to one Buddy Picture and The one Mac User Account's Address Book which may or may not have Full Names, emails details, or a Nickname in iChat 4 linked to the Screen Names.
Whilst it does let you both log in whilst using one Mac User Account there are drawbacks about who uses the keyboard and reading meesages from the other persons Buddies.

Merger with MSN account?

The merger with my MSN account does not seem to work ..
When I log in with MSN, I can not see anything from my usual SKYPE. What am I doing wrong .. Is it so that my Skype-name must be the same, and if so, how do I change it? Can not actually click on the Skype-name in Profile settings? I have the desire to use the MSN account, but also want to Keep my SKYPE account with the corresponding number and history? ...

It's not working properly that's what I can say.
Here's what happens, you have a MSN and Skype account right?
When you login in Skype with MSN account you'll be creating a NEW account in Skype and then when you merge to your Skype account it will create a relationship between both accounts. After this do never use windows live again.
Now two things will happen.
- When you login in Skype with your MSN account it will show all your skype accounts and then it will load your MSN accounts.
You'll have all your contacts together.
- but if you login with your original Skype account, only the Skype accounts are loaded.
Thats my perception on how it realy works.
I merged both accounts but i will never login with msn. It's an old email entry that i dont want my contacts to have it because i dont use it for email, but still used it for messaging until today.

IChat with .mac account and intermittent connection failure

Recently using my .mac login with iChat has been a little troublesome. Sometimes it connects, sometimes it doesn't.
This morning there's no connection. Seems to be dead.
An AIM account can log in, and my older (now unused) .mac login will also connect, but my current login simply cannot connect.
Is it possible that this is another issue at AOL where accounts were deleted or misplaced?
Anyone else having a similar issue?

I see a couple things going on...
A.) The accounts were definitely not deleted. I've been able to log in since posting this. But there IS something going in. Many people are posting new topics about the "timed out" error with .mac accounts right now. True, the specifics seems to shift from post to post, but everyone's set up is different (usually) and that stands to reason. However, the common thread in all the posts is the "timed out" error.
B.) iChat tried to log back in when waking from sleep. I time out because my wireless network hasn't connected yet. So the reconnection is slower than the attempt to log back in.
This produces the "timed out" error.
C.) The port suggestion seems to make a lot of sense. Indeed if everyone is using the same port (and aren't there millions of us?) then using a variety of ports, or rather, any other port should help provided the server is up and running, and our accounts are working (and we're connected to the inter-web and everything else.)
D.) There seems to be an issue with errors in iChat AV, or perhaps with Mac OS X 10.4.X or possibly only the macbook pro where once an error is returned "timed out" or "could not connect" for whatever reason a certain operation (unknown) or amount of time (unknown) must occur before connection can take place.
I'd love to see all these problems resolved.

New skype version with msn account

I cannot sign in using my microsoft account anymore i try Live: id but it doesnt work. I even try signing in as my email still doesnt work it doesnt have the options to sign in as msn account anymore

What version of Skype are you on (help > about Skype). Signing into skype with your Microsoft account should be possible (has been for years) even in the latest version, as I'm guessing that will be the only sign in option soon there is no reason for Skype to remove the feature (sign in using another account MS account). http://www.skype.com/go/getskype Your MSN account IS your Microsoft account. (email/password, not live:X thats just how Skype treats MS account names) Make Sure your OS and Internet Explorer is up to date aswell as drivers and make sure no securety software blocks Skype from operating normally. If the issue persist, please state your OS, Skype version and the exact nature of the problem (be sure to try to use the login with a differnt account option at the login screen). For good meassure please restart your computer, and your router if possible.

I can't log in iChat with .mac account

since i changed my .mac password, ichat (i used million times before) ask me for log in AOL and then don't accept my log.
i tried to use old password with the .mac ID and the new pass with the same ID but this does'nt work.
then i tried to cancel my isight account and redo with my actual .Mac id and pass.
but after the log in procedure, AOL block me again with a new login request.
Someone can help me?
iMac G5, Ibook G4, G5 dual 2.0 Mac OS X (10.4.6) mac user since IICx

I fonud the answer in an other discussion: it was because of the password lenght: AOL accept only 16 character max password.
My pass was 20...

Communicating between iMessage and iChat with Google accounts?

I am using iMessages and my wife is using iChat. She signed into iChat using her Google account. When I try to message her, it says that her account is not registered with iMessages. Why can't I send her a message?

HI,
iChat can use AIM accounts, Jabber or Yahoo in iChat 6 as well as the Bonjour option.
You cannot chat Jabber to AIM or Yahoo to Jabber or even Bonjour to any of the others.
It is AIM to AIM or Jabber to Jabber.
In Messages as well as AIM, Bonjour, Jabber and Yahoo you have the ability to run an iMessages Account
The iMessages account can send Text messages only to Apple IDs and iPhone Numbers on Apple iOS devices and those using an iMessage Account in Messages.
A GoogleMail (GoogleTalk) ID will not be an iMessages account is used in iChat.
That is not to say the Google Mail ID is not an Apple ID and may be used as such on an iPhone or iPad.
You cannot iMessages any of the other services.
You need to get an Google Mail ID, Enable Talk on the Google Settings and then enter it as an Account in Messages Menu > Preferences > Accounts > Click the + icon lower left and Change the top items drop down to GoogleTalk.

Syncing with MSN account and Outlook

I am new to having a Blackberry and could use some help. I have an MSN email address which is linked to my Blackberry. Emails come directly to my Blackberry and also my MSN email which I access thru Outlook. When i go thru my emails on Outlook and delete them and then sync by Blackberry the syncing process is not removing the emails i have deleted off my desktop. It is making me delete on my desktop and then delete the same emails off my Blackberry. There must be a way i can do this once and have the sync process take care of it. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Matt

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
Technically, your BB is reconciling (via BIS) to the MSN server. Likewise, your Outlook client is reconciling to the MSN server. The BB and Outlook do not typically reconcile to each other. With BB's integrated to email services via BIS, there are various reconciliation features that are available...see this KB:
KB05133 Email reconciliation features for the BlackBerry Internet Service
As you can see, wireless reconciliation of deleted items from the server to the BB is not supported. So, it is working as designed.
Sorry that doesn't give you what you desire, but hopefully it at least explains how it is supposed to work. What you could do is, inside of your BB config, set it to retain messages on the BB for some duration of time (something other than "forever")...then, they would auto-delete from the BB.
Cheers!

Old: iChat and MSN

Hello guys!
Well, this is an old one, but it may be good for us MSN users around the world. With Lion, Apple says that:
"Service plug-ins
Service plug-ins from third-party developers let you add new chat services to iChat. And plug-ins run in a separate process to help ensure that they won’t damage your system."
So my question is, are there any of these plugins already developed (that's what the developer previews are for, right?) and ready to use in Lion? I've searched with no success, and I'd really love to use iChat with MSN (please don't suggest alternatives such as Addium and stuff, I hate those).
Hope you can help!
Thanks,
F

Hi,
Growl is installed in Leopard and Show Leopard if you Install Chax ( an iChat Add On that does allow an All Contacts list (up to you to create Service based "Groups)
However the current version of Chax does not work in Lion.
Growl can be obtained other ways and they may have already written a Lion Version (Intel Only)
It has taken from iChat 3 when Jabber (And therefore Google) was Added until Lion and iChat 6 to get Yahoo.
We may be waiting until iChat 9

Issues With MSN For Mac

I don't know if this is the right place to put this but I can't see anywhere else. I recently downloaded the MSN 6.01 and since then I've been experiencing some problems. First of all, whenever I sign in I always have to type my password in twice before I can connect, it always says my first attempt is wrong even though I make sure I type it in right. Secondly everytime I click to change my display pic MSN freezes for a short time (about 30 seconds) before the window with my display pic options comes up. Is anyone experiencing the same problems or can someone help me with this?
Thanks!

I seem to remember some similar problem with the password when I upgraded to that version. You may have to go into Keychain Access and delete the entry, then put it in again.
You might also try Keychain First Aid.
I got so fed up, and with the slowness of the software, in comparison with the previous version, that I switched to Adium. It may not suit all, but it does work with MSN accounts.

Can I use my msn account with ichat?

I tried to connect to my msn account via Jabber, but the connection to the host : "hotmail.com" failed!
What happened?
Its the same thing for a google talk account!!!
( I didn't try with an AIM account because I don't have one but i think it should be the same )
Just an other question : do all Mac owners have an @me.com adresse and how to obtain it?
Last question : can we use Skype accounts with ichat?
Thank you all

Need to cancel account that is no longer used and unassociate with msn

I have not been a Verizon broadband customer for several years, but my e-mail account is still active {edited for privacy}. I am trying to make changes to my hotmail account, but Microsoft will not allow me because an MSN Premium account from Verizon is still associated with that account. How can I close my old Verizon e-mail account?
I tried using this link to change the msn link, but it seems not to be effective when you click submit:
https://www.verizon.net/central/vzc.portal?_nfpb=true&_pageLabel=vzcp_switch&frommat=true&txtype=swi...�tchoice=MSN
Thanks,
Steve

Short of calling verizon, I don't think you can delete your account unless it is a sub-account. But, you can change the association from MSN to something else. Go to verizon.net, log into your accout, select my My Account from the top navigation, then click on "Change" next to the Online experience and select something other thatn MSN.
That should break the link between verizon & msn which would allow you to make the changes to MSN.
Good luck.

Setting up my msn account with mail

i'm a new mac user and i read posts to set up my msn account on mail. but it keps asking for my password and will not sign me on for mail. i don't know what i'm doing wrong can someone help me? my searches are bringing me in circles

you should be able to do it with no difficulty at all, you can set up the email address from you phone or log onto the BIS site, if using the phone, go to email setup and it will ask you to either setup a bb account or log on, if you already have the account then log on, if not then create it. you can then add the email address and start recieving emails within 20 minutes
