Is there an Instant Messenger equivalent with Mac?

Hi
I am trying to find a MAC version of MSN is there one? I have looked in the App store and Nimbuzz was the only thing I could find but I can't get it to download my MSN contacts. I need to find a IM that I can instant message with hotmail addresses.
Can anyone help?
I am VERY new to a Mac and the operating system.
Thank you
Jane

Thank you. The problem is that I also can't seem to download anything that is not an App. It says I dont have permission for this but when I look in my settings I can't find how to change this to allow non-Mac downloads to download - can you help me on this? Thank you and sorry to ask another question.

MSN messenger is still active in development, It has just been crippled - no Nudges, no msn games, no drawing, no a/v support etc..You can still do the basics; Talk to your friend, custom smileys/multiple convos.
Note you can't sort contacts by e-mail (a feature I missed from Windows). Adium does attempt to solve a few problems but the group convo feature with MSN doesn't work very well - I still prefer Messenger for Mac because it holds the general 'look and feel' of MSN messenger for windows. (Kind of :P).

Is there any HDD player compactable with Mac appart from ipod?

I've been search everywhere for a HDD player that works with Mac and every company seems to hate Mac maybe because ipod has taken over the market. So can anyone tell me which HDD works with mac appart from ipod? I would be very gratefull and my search for a new HDD player will come to an end!
Windows XP i want a mac

Not sure what you mean by HDD player.
I have used Archos Hard Disk players with my Mac, changing the preferences in iTunes to mp3 and copying the music files over manually and it also plays video files as well.
If the music player can play mp3 files it is very likely it will work fine with a Mac.
Note that I am unable to copy over and play directly iTunes Music Store files I have downloaded form the Music Store.

Is there a problem using Flashplayer with Macs?

I have been a Flashplayer user for sometime using a iMac (using Osx version 10.7.5) and have been experiencing a lot of problems recently when trying to visit various sites e.g. BBC News, Tom Tom for upgrades. The website state I need to download the latest version of Flashplayer, which I then do and then once I have downloaded the latest version and click the prompt to revist the site I was on a) it doesn't take me back and b) when I go back to the same site it still saying I need to get the lastest version of FLashplayer! Annoying or what !!

Spotlight search “Flash Player.plugin” (Search “This Mac” and choose "Show All in Finder")
Right click the Plugin and select “Open Enclosing Folder” Trash the Flash Player.plugin and flashplayer.xpt files.
Go to: [user]/Library/Preferences.
Note: You'll need to hold the "Option" key when you click "Go" from the Finder menu to access the [user] Library:
Without the "Option" key
And WITH
Trash the Macromedia folder there.
Go to: Mac HD/Library/Application Support. Trash the Macromedia folder there.
Go to: Mac HD/Library/Preference Panes (not Preferences, but Preference Panes). Trash the Flash Player.prefpane file there.
Empty the trash.
Download the Flash Player (For Mac OS X) again if necessary.
Quit Safari and go to your downloads folder. Double click the DMG to “mount it”.
It will appear on your desktop and a small window will open.
Double click the installer. If you see a warning, click “Open” to let it run.
Click “I have read and agree… etc.” and click “Install”. Enter your password when asked.
You may see the following: click “Force Close All” if you do, and then click “Retry”.
The installer will run.
Choose your update preference, and click “Done”.
Open Safari again and click Safari>Preferences (Cmd+,)
Go to the Security tab. Make sure “Allow plug-ins” is checked.
That should be a COMPLETE "clean install" for OS 10.7.5.

Is there an agenda app compatible with Mac, iPhone

I'm looking for an app to use as my agenda/planner but that compatible with my MacBook Air, iPhone 4 & iPad 2 and that it's able to update via iCloud, is there such an app?

There isn't a iBooks application for Mac yet. However, Apple showed a preview of iBooks for Mac at the WWDC with OS X Mavericks, that will be released in fall, so you can be sure that iBooks for Mac will be launched

How can I get photos from my LG phone to my Mac with bluetooth, when LG says there bluetooth is not compatible with Macs?

Any ideas?

Instant Messenging on N97?

Customer Support is closed (although it is only 3pm) for phone updates (why do they do this during business hours instead of during the evening like other businesses?) so I'm hoping someone here may be able to answer my question.
Is there an instant messenger application for the N97? I took for granted on my previous phones where I can use AOL instant messenger and yahoo messenger. I can't find anything for the N97 or any other Nokia phone. I find it hard to believe that I would be the only person that would like this feature on a phone.
I see a lot of potential with the N97 but I'm running into a lot of road blocks. I think a lack of an instant messenging application would be a deal breaker because I would expect a $700 device to have such a basic application.
Thanks

Hi,
iChat (it would help to know which version) can accept Apple IDs as valid AIM Screen Names.
However if you have iChat 5 or earlier you cannot use ones ending in @me.com or @icloud.com issued by iCloud. (they can be used in iChat 6 or Messages as these versions make a double login to AIM and Apple to allow the use of the password).
In addition if you are using an Apple ID for an AIM Screen Name the password still needs to keep to the 16 character limit that AIM has.
AN @mac.com name can be used on any version of iChat (Until the 30th June 2014)
As it does not need a double check with Apple you can use it to log in to the AIM Web pages
Login here with an AIM Name registered at AIM or and @mac.com name and see if you get any suspended account messages.
Sometimes account can be suspended. Usually because something has triggered the "Unusual Activity" item.
About a year ago many @mac.com users that travelled out of their own country found themselves suspended when they got home.
If the Name checks out of if an Apple ID the password in known to be 16 characters or Less then do this:-
In Lion upwards open a Finder Window and use the Go Menu whilst holding down the ALT key.
Select the Library that appears in the menu list.
Navigate to Preferences.
(If you have version earlier than Lion the just navigate to ~/Library/Preferences (that's the Library in you Home - Little House icon - folder)
Fnd com.apple.ichat.aim.plist (even if you are using Messages)
Drag the file to the Trash and Restart the app.

Hello All,
Is there a Blackberry Desktop Software for MAC OS 10.4.11? Or something equivalent?
I recently switched from a palm treo to blackberry but didn't anticipate syncing issues with my mac until now. The current BB desktop software seems only compatible with MAC OS 10.5, so I'm in a difficult position.
Please any suggestions are deeply welcomed!!
Thank you.

Using iSight with Mac Messenger ?

I was just wondering if anyone knew a way to use the iSight with Mac Messenger, and, or view someone else's webcam? I've been told by friends that it's not possible but I just wanted to check here incase there is some 'backalley' way to do so.
Thanks for your time

Thanks, but i was just really looking if it was possible with Mac Messenger. I've tried aMSN in the past and it gave me a lot of problems so i don't want to go down that route again.
It doesn't really matter if it isn't possible i just though it wouldn't hurt to ask.
Thanks anyway

Does Anyone Know If Mac is fixing it's Safari Webcam and Instant Messeng

Does Anyone Know If Mac is fixing it's Safari Webcam and Instant Messenger Problems? It doesnt see webcams or if it DOES Instant MESSENGER wont...?
Thanks!

This is the printing and faxing section, so you'll probably not get much help here.
If you're referring to MS Messenger, that's down to Microsoft. They rarely update the Mac version of Messenger, and it doesn't support video calls / conferencing. Try Skype, that's multi-platform and works with my iSight camera.

I am using an old ibook G4 ppc with mac os x 10.4.11. A day before by default I delete one file and I think it was the startup file of os because after that when I restarted my notebook it's not running the OS only that blue screen is there. This notebook was a gift for me and still it is so close to my heart. I don't wana loose it. Please, help me out.

Without the install CD, you are hosed.
What happened to it?
It is possible to call AppleCare and order a replacement. They will charge you a nominal fee for shipping and handling.

I want to use Mac Mail for my work email address, which containts multiple outbound options (i.e. hr@, me@ etc). Is there a way to set up Mac Mail to have an account with multiple outbound addresses rather than adding in multiple accounts?

This sounds like the age old problem with keychain & Safari. I don't know of a way to solve it without using something like 1Password.
The iOS app has it's own built in browser, so it has more control over what gets autofilled. Safari on OS X has an 1Password extension that handles account selection & autofill etc.
Keychain is great in principle, but it quickly falls down when you need tight integration with many ID's & different use cases (work, home etc).
I'd suggest you submit feedback to Apple about your thoughts. I did so years ago about this issue & this is how far we have come (back to the point where me.com synced passwords) :^)
http://apple.com/feedback/macosx.html
Other tools like lastpass or keypassx may also help if you want to truly segregate password storage, but that doesn't fix autofill, the way around that issue is to dedicate one browser for work.

Hello, I have a Mac computer with NVIDIA 750M dedicated graphics card and monitor EIZO but the problem was there when I was working with Windows and Acer monitor. When I open a file from Camera Raw in PS this is smaller than the screen so I double-click with the tool "hand" to fit on the screen, but the picture loses sharpness and becomes blurry. If you magnify the image even only slightly with the tool "zoom" the picture comes back clear. In Camera Raw instead is always sharp. I solve the problem by turning off the graphics card in PS but often use plugin that need the graphics card otherwise the processing time is much longer. I ask for help.
Thanks.
