Instant Messaging Service Questions

I am a new Mac user and have Microsoft Office for Mac installed on my new MacBook, and I have some questions regarding MSN for Mac.
As it turns out, the MSN for mac lacks many of the features present the PC version (my primary concern is with my lack of ability to make video calls through the application. I have downloaded a program called Skype, but what I would really like to know is:
(a) is there a way that I can perform video calls on MSN for Mac, or
(b) is there an instant messaging service that I could download that would be compatible with contacts made through other services (MSN, AOL, Google, Yahoo, Skype, etc.)?
I also have some unanswered questions farther back in this forum. I would greatly appreciate any help you might be able to provide with any of these.

You can do video chats on Yahoo messenger for mac. You can also add your hotmail list in the contact address too. For this visit http://www.yahoo.com and then click on messenger and it would automatically give you the option to download the messenger for mac. Later drag the Yahoo Icon to application menu and get going.
Do let me know.

Problem with instant message in clustered environment

Hello, I have some problem with Instant Message service.
We need to use it in our Production Environment (a clustered emvironment with a central instance, two dialog instances and two web dispatchers), some months ago we tested it in Development Environment (not clustered emvironment, just a single system) and it worked fine.
So I did the same configurations on Production Environment but it did not work.
But if I access on my portal (Production Env.) by the central instance (avoiding the dispatchers) the instant message service works.
I think it can be a web dispatcher's configuration problem, in its logs I found the message :
"<i>[Thr 3700] *** ERROR => htmlEncode: called with empty string [icpif.cpp 847]</i>"
I' ve repeated the same configuration done in Dev.Env. (no dispatcher) on the Prod.Env. (with 2 dispatcher), is possible that I'm missing some configurations??
Could someone helps me?
Best Regard

Instant Message Application with Video/Audio to connect MSN & Skype Users

Hi,
Sorry if this has already been a topic, but I wasn't able to find a clear answer. I'm trying to setup an instant messaging service that will allow me to use video/audio conferencing. My friends and family use MSN messenger and also Skype. I'd ideally like to use one service that enables video/audio conferencing in which I can contact my MSN and Skype contacts and be able to contact them (with IM and video) with this service. Please let me know if any such thing exists that fulfills these requirements.
Thanks,
Brian

Check out iVisit. Both parties have to install it though, and it doesn't work together with MSN and Skype. It's simply a solution for Macs and PCs to communicate via audio/video.

Urgent BBM Instant Messaging Help!

Good Day,
I am inquiring about BBM Instant Messaging service. Are there any features that can allow a company to create a group without a limit on the amount of members that can be added, for the purpose of connecting with customers through a means apart from social networking websites? Or is there any other Blackberry service that will allow the company to do the required? An urgent response will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance

Newbie Questions/Comments - SMS and Instant Messaging

I am a new iPhone 3G owner. Before the iPhone I used a SideKick and a BlackBerry. Between those 2 the BlackBerry was my favorite. The email, IM and TXT messaging was great. Now I have the iPhone and I like it but have 2 MAJOR gripes:
*1. SMS* - When txting with someone from my old provider (T-Mobile) the txts are REAL slow. Several minutes pass before receipt. I did a test and sent and received txts from someone on the Verizon network and had no problems. Does anyone know what would be causing this?
*2. Instant Messaging* - Now this is my biggest gripe. Instant Messaging is non-existent. Why is this? It used to be my primary means of communication.
There was another one but I can't remember it right now. Any insight to either of these would be appreciated. I've never spent so much time trying to figure out a phone.

For number 2, this is well known design limitation of the iPhone. The iPhone does not allow background applications to run, so if your phone goes to sleep or you leave the IM screen, then IM is shutdown.
Apple is supposed to release a background notification service, but it is past the launch date, and no one knows when it will show up.
If realtime always on IM is a must have, then the iPhone is not a good choice.

Instant Messaging On Iphone 4

Hi,
I just have a question on push instant messaging. Does the Iphone 4 support this? For example, if I sign into gtalk, msn messaging, AIM, etc. and someone send me a message through these services, will I be able to see it instantly?
TIA.

Thanks guys for the quick response.
My other question is a little stupid but does IM counts toward your text messaging? I know it's a data-type service so it should charge your data usage but AT&T stated in their messages plan. I'm not planning on getting the unlimited txt msg plan so this does matter to me.
"Message any way, to anyone in the U.S. Send and receive 1500 text, picture, video, and Instant Messaging (IM) messages. Additional messages are 5 cents each."

Instant messaging for businesses

I am trying to figure out if this would work for me... don't like that there is no customer service via the phone.
For starters, we ar ea medical practice with multiple locations. Main office works from desktop while the other locations work through remote connections to the server. Will this work with a remote connection to the server to some locations. Will in pop-up on the screen?
We only need instant messaging, no calls at all...
what does that cost? How do we trial it?

Hi, Jdiaz.pbec, and welcome to the Community,
I love Skype's instant messaging capacities - simple, clean, uncluttered, and no cost whatsoever! If your office is not using Skype to place calls, I do not see any reason to start a Skype Manager configuration. Regardless, Skype-to-Skype calls are also free of charge.
All of the participants need to:
Create their own new Skype accounts: http://www.skype.com/en/what-is-skype/
Download the Skype software onto their computers;
Send contact invitations to each other, and start instant messaging. Here is an FAQ article which explains the process: https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA3281/adding-contacts-windows-desktop The same FAQ articles are available for Mac users and Linux users, as well.
Here is a link to the library of information articles related to instant messaging: https://support.skype.com/en/category/INSTANT_MESSAGING_WITH_SKYPE/
I would also recommend everyone take at least a cursory run through these user guides which will help the team get up-to-speed quickly.
If everyone did decide to use Skype to talk with each other, remember at least an on-board microphone and speakers (or a headset) would be needed. Most webcam's include a microphone, as well, but if you are in a medical office there could be occasions patient confidentiality would need to be maintained; hence why I suggested a headset.
Best regards,
Elaine

Is there any way to organize instant messages?

Today's generation, including our children, loves instant messaging. From my point of view, it has significant drawbacks. Why? Because it quickly becomes disorganized. Messages, photos, and other information is all in a jumbled stream. By contrast, email messages can easily be organized into folders and retrieved months or years later. Searching through email (or separate email folders) is a breeze. By contrast, finding something in instant messages (including wonderful photos) that is a week old, a month old, a year old, eludes me.
The other beauty of email is that when a message arrives by email, the recipient can keep it in his or her inbox as a constant reminder that it needs to be dealt with before filing it away in a more hidden location (an email folder). Instant messages, by contrast, pile up over time (often with a recipient in my generation not even recognizing that one has arrived) and there is no way to keep the significant action items visible while filing away the others.
Does anyone know of any tips or apps that might impose order on instant messages? If so, I suspect other members of my generation would be grateful to know about them. I feel foolish enough about asking this question that I wish Apple didn't require me to use my real name. :-)

Thanks Kilgore-Trout (love your name and love Breakfast of Champions). That is indeed the problem. Some day I hope these two tools will converge so that the recipient may easily move an occasional important instant message to email to establish permanence. Current methods for doing that are so primitive as to be useless.

Nokia 6300 - Instant Messaging icon/functionality ...

Hi everybody,
I'm from Canada, and just bought a Nokia 6300 brand new a few days ago. This morning, I went on my phone to change the wallpaper, and for a second, the phone blinked and changed back to the default provider theme. I then changed back the wallpaper, but when I go into the menu, my instant messaging icon is not there anymore. Obviously, restarting the phone didn't solve the problem.
I don't know if anybody got this problem before. I've seen other functionalities missing like Calculator and Email and such, so maybe it's a software fault. Anyone can advise how to fix this problem? Is this a good phone or I just see the problems with it?
My firmware version is 4.71 28/02/2007.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Angeli.Message Edited by angeli on 19-Jun-200705:29 PM

It seems like your phones software has gone a bit corrupted. Please update it with the Nokia Software Updater. This should solve your problem, if not then you need to take the phone to a Nokia Service Center.

Explicity mapping between ActionScript and Java objects for the BlazeDS Messaging Service

The BlazeDS documentation shows how to explicitly map between ActionScript and Java objects. For example, this works fine for RPC services, e.g.
import flash.utils.IExternalizable;
import flash.utils.IDataInput;
import flash.utils.IDataOutput;
[Bindable]
[RemoteClass(alias="javaclass.User")]
public class User implements IExternalizable {
        public var id : String;
        public var secret : String;
        public function User() {
        public function readExternal(input : IDataInput) : void {
                id = input.readObject() as String;
        public function writeExternal(output : IDataOutput) : void {
                output.writeObject(id);
and
import java.io.Externalizable;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.ObjectInput;
import java.io.ObjectOutput;
import java.util.HashSet;
import java.util.Iterator;
import java.util.Set;
public class User implements Externalizable {
    protected String id;
    protected String secret;
    public String getId() {
        return id;
    public void setId(String id) {
        this.id = id;
    public String getSecret() {
        return secret;
    public void setSecret(String secret) {
        this.secret = secret;
    public void readExternal(ObjectInput in) throws IOException,
                ClassNotFoundException {
        id = (String) in.readObject();
    public void writeExternal(ObjectOutput out) throws IOException {
        out.writeObject(id);
If I called an RPC service that returns a User, the secret is not sent over the wire. Is it also possible to do this for the messaging service? That is, if I create a custom messaging adapter and use the function below, can I also prevent secret from being sent?
MessageBroker messageBroker = MessageBroker.getMessageBroker(null);
AsyncMessage message = new AsyncMessage();
message.setDestination("MyMessagingService");
message.setClientId(UUIDUtils.createUUID());
message.setMessageId(UUIDUtils.createUUID());
User user = new User();
user.setId("id");
user.setSecret("secret");
message.setBody(user);
messageBroker.routeMessageToService(message, null);

Hi Martin. The way that AMF serialization/deserialization works for BlazeDS is the same regardless of which service is being used, so yes that code will work for messaging as well. On the server, the serialization/deserialization of messages happens at the endpoint. For an incoming message for example, the endpoint deserializes the message and then hands it off to the MessageBroker which decides which service/destination to deliver the message to.
That was a good question. Thanks for asking it. Lots of people are used to doing custom serialization/deserialization with the RPC services (RemoteObject/RemotingService) but I'm not sure everyone realizes they can do this for messaging as well.
