Log in issues with messenger for Mac

Hi,
I've been unable to log on to messenger for a while. At first I thought that it might have something to do with the version I had installed so I installed Messenger for Mac 8 Beta. However, I still get the exact same message as I did when using the old verson. I'm being told that either I'm not connected to the internet (which I undoubtedly am) or the services is unavailable. Then I tried to see the there was an error in my username og password, and erraced the preferences files so that I had to run the set up again, but still no result.
Any advice would be more than welcome.

I am having the same problem. The support center is aware of the problem and they are working on it. They say it is only affecting Macbook Pros. My ipad facetime is working fine.

Send Issues with Outlook for Mac (2011 / V15) and Exchange 2013 SP1

Hi all,
we have a strange issue with only with Outlook for Mac Users (version 2011 and the newest Outlook Version (V15) from Office 365) connected to our Exchange Server 2013 SP1. Some emails which we send out to the exactly same recipient are not sent through our
Exchange Server.
We have sent 8 emails with subject "test1, test2, test3...". Only test 3-6 was arriving to the recipient. The other emails are in the "sent" folder but it was not sent out through the Exchange.
What we can see with "Get-MessageTrackingLog" is, that the Recipients and MessageSubject are empty for these emails:
Timestamp Sender Recipients MessageSubject

We can still reproduce the issue on different Mac computers.
Thanks for any help in advance!

Is it possible to use iSight with Messenger for Mac?

I have been racking my brain on how to get iSight to work with my friends on Window messenger. The video option is not available. I've had my macbook for 2 months now and, after working/giving up and going back again cannot seem to get it to jive. Any ideas would be appreciated!

Welcome to Apple Discussions, flowerlove
The answer here will depend on the specifics of what you want to do.
Both Microsoft Messenger for Mac and the older MSN Messenger for Mac are text only apps. You can not use iSight with either. Please let us know if you mean some different "Messenger" software.
This Windows Messenger does not appear to offer video, even for PCs. If this is the application your friends are using, no video work with it.
For a built-in iSight video connection with PC contacts who only connect via Windows Live Messenger or other clients of the MSN Messenger server, you can select from these alternatives:
(1) Because your MacBook can use Boot Camp or Parallels to run Windows XP software on your MacBook, you can choose which method you want to use, add the required software (if you have not already done so), and then install and use the same Windows instant messenger application that your contacts are using to do video.
(2) and (3) In addition to Niel's good "aMSN" suggestion, you can also try Mercury Messenger for Mac. Either can work with OS X for video and text chat. They offer the same features, but neither offers audio connections. Use whichever one of these two you find more reliable or easiest to use if you do not want to add Windows XP to your iNtel Mac,.

BB BOLD 9700 sync issues with Outlook for MAC

Hi Support,
I hope that you can help me? I have been having issues with my BB calendar not being able to sync with my Outlook for MAC calendar. I am using BB OS 6.0, Blackberry Desktop software 2.2.0 and Mac OS X version 10.7.2.
I have been able toget around the calendars not syncing but this morning I added iCal to iCloud, stupid move as it erased my entire calendar.
i was wondering if someone could help me restore my Outlook calendar and have my BB and calendar sync properly.
Please Help!!!

Hello and welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
The BlackBerry Desktop Software needs a local calendar for sync. It does not support the iCloud.
You will need to create a new local calendar in your iCal to continue synchronizing with the Desktop Software.
As for restoring your Outlook calendar, you will need to talk to Apple for assistance.

Browser usually crashes whenever I want to upload a Word or PDF file? is that an OS issue or compatible issue with Word for Mac

A lot of times I would have to reset Safari while I do this and then it might work afterwards, I just find it annoying and time consuming, sometimes I might have to reboot my machine as well. Not sure whether it's an OS issue or an issue with Word that the system doesn't like word too much. I get the spinning ball and I have to do a hard force quit using my keyboard in order to stop the browser when it stops responding, then go ahead and reset safari like I stated previously.

I have tried Opera, which is somewhat better but it crashes if I have to look for the file within the system like with Safari, it will by default look on the desktop, if I try to change it to documents for example that's when it can go crazy, with Opera it will by default open in documents but say if I wanted to change it to desktop to look for the file, it can go loopy. Looks like it either the browser or OS doesn't like changing different folders to upload files.
How's Firefox on a Mac? is it better than on Windows?

Bold Sync and Update Issues With DTM For Mac

First problem: I cannot update software on my Bold. Once I click on "Start Update", the process starts, but stops at "Downloading 5... Files". It then stops, and a dialog box with the following message pops up
<Blackberry Desktop Manager could not download the required files. There may be a problem with your network connection or the server is not responding. Please try again later> This is followed by:
< Blackberry Desktop Manager failed to update your Blackberry device>
Second problem: Syncing will not work as well. Upon syncing Calendar (iCal), I get the error message <A sync error has occured. Please retry the sync.>
Phone Data
Make: Bold 9000
Software: 4.6.0
Mac
Make: White Macbook 2.16 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
Memory: 2GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM
OS: 10.6.1 (Snow Leopard)
DTM was latest version (1.0) of DTM for Mac
I had PocketMac, Missing sync and the Beta of DTM for Mac installed. I have tried removing ALL components of these 3 apps, from all libraries and restarted my Mac ~6-7 times, but to no avail. It's getting very frustrating. Can anyone help?
PS I wish RIM would dedicate more resources to making it work between our Macs and our Berries. It's like having a pet that can't get along with your wife, one's gotta go!

Update: I've managed to get around the sync problems, have synced add book and iCal. Haven't tried notes and tasks, am hopeful it will work. However, updates still don't work! It goes to download 600+ files, and then the same error message still appears. Can anyone help? Hopefully someone from RIM!
As well, when un-installing BDTM-Mac, does anyone else get the same problem of getting a dialog box that says that uninstall was unsuccessful and that certain components could not be deleted?
As a sidenote, just to give your (emilianne) idea a shot, I re-installed missing sync and pocket mac, then used app zapper. Seems like I'm more thorough than the app. =\ Now I still get that dialog box from BDTM-Mac installer that says prior versions of syncing software were found. Geez. Previously when I did a manual wipe, didn't have that problem. Oh well... not a BB issue so not important.

Issue with Outlook for Mac - MS exchange account setup

Hello, after trying to connect the hotmail exchange account to Outlook for Mac 2011 I still can't see account in the left panel. The account is still marked orange instead of green. I can't figure out what is wrong with the settings. Please help!

Hi Vasko,
MAC 2011 is different from Outlook. Sorry for the lack of knowledge on MAC.
I suggest re-creating a new thread on the MAC forum so that we can get more professional suggestions.

Issues with Calendar for Mac

Hi All,
I have an issue. I have a number of appointments - training courses actually - that occur over 2 or 3 days.
My PA puts them up - as a single appointment and puts a recurrence of 2 days or 3 days. This is done in Outlook on a PC.
When it appears on my MAC.. it shows on calendar only 2 days (it was in this case a 3 day course)
Please help its driving me nuts.

This was one issue that just about got the new "toy" chucked from a moving vehicle!
I don't sync with Outlook, but I do have other calendars and only could get sync working one way and in some places.
Finally got it working by making sure I was signed up for the Samsung account, which allows sync to all devices.
AND
downloaded free Apps for iCloud and Yahoo sync
AND
Sign up for Google and get Google sync set up also.
AND
Add any account under "accounts and sync" that need to sync.
AND
go at the problem from both ends, setting up phone AND set up on the computer in Outlook to send to mobile.
As I said, I don't use Outlook, not sure how it sets up.
BUT
Once I got all devices to post entries in the desktop or pre-installed calendars, they all synced perfectly and I can use a calendar I like.
I really like the one that came on the S3, now that it works.
Holler back if that doesn't do it.

Issues with Excel for Mac

Howdy.
I am currently running excel on 10.5. The version i am using is 12.0(071130) .
Its an intermittant issues whereby Excel will rnadomly crash when asked to copy and paste. My first instinct is to update but when i tried to download the installers for the 12.1 and the 12.9 updates , they won't install on my hard drive. I get an exclamation mark on my hard drive when going through the installer.
I think the copy and paste issue can be sorted by the update, but how do i do the update needed.
I tried running the microsoft updater through excel but it just hangs and hangs.
Any ideas?

I had a similar problem with the exclamation mark. I solved it by re-installing Office from the original disks and re-starting the computer. It seems that one of the main files must have been missing in the Microsoft Office 2008 folder. I now have 8 items in there after the update to 12.1.9.

Snow leopard issues with windows for Mac

I installed snow leopard on my Mac Bk and I-Mac, Mac Bk no issues. On my I-mac the excel and Power point icons on the dock base show question marks and those to programs a gone. Word still appears and works, any help

Icons in the Dock represent applications stored on your machine. They can be in various locations (User folders or external hard drives).
When they show as a question mark it means the Dock can no longer find the source application. To restore functionality you need to remove the question mark icon (click, hold and drag up) and drag the source app back into the Dock. An "alias" is created that "links" to the source app.

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.
