Messenger:Mac 7.0.1 & Microsoft OCS2007

Hi,
I have already posted this on a Microsoft forum and had no response so I thought I would try my luck.
I have recently got Messenger:Mac to work with our OCS2007 server but have a strange issue.
When I first signed in and someone called me, I got a single burst of ringing then nothing. I could answer the call and everything was fine.
Every call after that I received no ringing tone at all.
If I log out of messenger and log back in I will receive a single burst of ringing when someone calls.
I have tried to delete the plist for Messenger but all that achieved was me having to input my details again.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Gavin

I found the issue.
When I was chatting to someone and they decided that they no longer wanted to text chat but speak instead, they would hit the call button and I would recieve a visual indication that they were calling but no audio.
This normally wouldn't be an issue but say for instance that i had another screen and working on another document I wouldn't know they wished to chat.
I reported this to Microsoft and after many days and many emails, they confirmed that this was a bug in the software and would be fixed in a future release.

Messenger:mac says "not connected to the internet"

OK, so just today, I downloaded Microsoft messenger:mac from mactopia at Microsoft - Version 7.0.1 (latest one) and signed in to my Messenger account, and the message said the following: "Sign in to Microsoft Messenger failed because the service is not available or you may not be connected to the internet". I checked today, the service is fine, and I have been connected to the internet for the whole day, Still says the message, I even checked, even still, it did not work.
Any way to fix this?

sig,
I tried aMSN, and it says "Connection refused: reconnecting". The reason for aMSN was that i do not have a Microsoft account, and they are so stupid, they say "I understand that i will not be notified about replies." How do i sort out the connection being refused?

Messenger Mac login issue

Hi,
When I try and sign into Messenger Mac 8 it fails. I get the following error in Console.
22/11/2010 17:59:12 /Applications/Microsoft Messenger.app/Contents/MacOS/Microsoft Messenger[6942] MDS Error: unable to create user DBs in /var/folders/Db/DbppfWRAEE8Za2zOGgS8ME+TI/-Caches-//mds
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Gavin

I thought I would post my own solution just in case someone
else might experience the same. It is most likely I inadvertantly
posted an out of date Application.cfc or login.cfm file that
referenced a data source no longer in use. Once these files and the
datasource were reconciled, all went well. Such a "simple" thing
that took a good day to resolve.

Messenger:mac 7.0.2 fails with SL

I have a Mac connected to a Netgear DG834GT wireless router that sits on a fixed IP address - and that forwards all ports to my Intel iMac 24" 2.8Ghz machine. Since installing Snow Leopard, Microsoft messenger:mac has not been able to connect to the server it uses - so no instant messaging. Everything else but that seems to work.
Anyone know if this is a bug, or know a procedure I should go through to isolate the root cause?

Conflict between program Mac mail and program Microsoft Outlook e-mail???

Denmark, Kolding, 30th of September 2010
A conflict between program Mac mail and program Microsoft Outlook e-mail?
For several months tried to discuss and resolve with several Apple specialists/support, but without much luck.
Therefore I have discussed these issues with 2 different and independent Mac users to find out in testing other Mac users will have the same problems as outlined in the below mentioned situations.
I will therefore outline the coverage issues, as mentioned, including occurs on my iMac 21.5 " with serial number: <Edited by Host> and 2 friends with their Macbooks of new dates as follows:
1. Sending from my Mac plain mail as "plain text "(during formatting):
Plain text mail as "Plain Text "(during formatting) Verdana font size 10, sent and received on Windows PC with the correct letter size - but with the font changed to Century Gothic!!!
2. Sending from my Mac plain mail "formatted text" (during formatting):
Eg. with my signature/signature-colored types and Verdana as font and size 10, possibly with underlining and italics in the text dispatched - the mail received as text with New Times Roman size 12 and signing /signature color Verdana now in size 13.5!!!!
3. Sending plain mail "as normal text "(during formatting)
In the mail text underlined and made bold - the program asks whether to convert to RTF format (to keep underlining, bold, etc.) and Verdana as font and size 10, YES - this mail is received on the Windows PC as text with New Times Roman with the desired underlining and bold text and size 12!!!!
4. Plain text mail as "formatted Text"
Eg. with signature / signature-colored types and Verdana as font and size 10, possibly with underlining and italics in the text sent - received as text with New Times Roman and signing / signature as colored Verdana now in size 13.5!!!
5. Sending mail with file attached:
After producing a normal text document modified to PDF and directly from the Adobe Reader sent this PDF file in e-mail formatted as normal text with font Verdana 10 point, with signature. This is received on the Windows PC with a PDF file OK, but the font of the mail text is changed to Century Gothic and missing signature. Signature is available as an attachment on the Windows Outlook e-mail program as a ATT00113.text file. This can be opened and there is the missing signature!
6. Sending e-mail with photos directly from iPhoto
iPhoto opens and click on the desired photos eg. 5 pcs. (Exactly as mentioned in the demo video!) and click on the e-mail icon at iPhoto and the program opens and e-mail that is opened with the attached photos and rich text is being used in the mail. Signature disappears and must be clicked on the mail by the sender.
The mail is received with the attached pictures OK - text changed to Times Roman with the desired bold - though no signature and 5 pcs. Att0028.html files attached. These can be opened and contains the file number each picture!
The above problems can be partly avoided by the following:
1. Only send mails as plain text
Without any underlining, attachments, etc.. When the Windows PC Outlook receiver opens the mail where only the text fond is changed!!
2. Sending mail with attached file
Start opening the mail program and use formatted plain text first and then attach (with the staple) file, and the Window receiver will get the file, but text and signature changed to Times New Roman size 13!!
3. Sending mail with photos from iPhoto
Start by opening mail program text in Verdana 10 and click the Photo Browser and find (look for - takes its time!) the pictures you want to send and pull/drag them into the mail and send, - images, text and signature are in the mail on Windows PC - but with the font changed to Century Gothic!!!
If sent as formatted text with various underlining, italics, etc. together with the photos will be received OK - but the writing is now New Times Roman size 12 signatures Verdana now in size 13!!!
I must say – I am disappointed with the Mac mail program – it actually means that sending a perfect mail with underlining, colours, a.s.o. also photos directly from iPhoto – will received at a Windows computer in a totally mess.
Looking forward to some good news from either Mac supporter or some clever Mac users who can help me to adjust my Mac to avoid these problems IF POSSIBLE!!!!.
Apple/Mac is too good a product to make these problems!!
Best regards
Peter Larsen

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
The PC sets the font on its side, the Mac does on its side for plain text. There is no "font size" in plain text coding. Rich Text gives you a bit more control, but only if both e-mail clients support it. HTML gives you a bit more control, but only if both e-mail clients support it. Use the asterisk, parenthesis, underscore, or any keyboard symbol that is part of the original ASCII. Otherwise, the chance is nobody else will be able to read it who does not have your e-mail client in the same version.
Sadly there are no e-mail standards except MIME for attachment, and even that isn't universally supported. E-mail is not the ideal medium for anything except plain text that is ASCII. To learn more about ASCII, see:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ASCII
If you want to post a website that is universally understood, see the hints here:

How to uninstall messenger mac

how does one uninstall messenger mac?

Uninstalling Software: The Basics
Most OS X applications are completely self-contained "packages" that can be uninstalled by simply dragging the application to the Trash. Applications may create preference files that are stored in the /Home/Library/Preferences/ folder. Although they do nothing once you delete the associated application, they do take up some disk space. If you want you can look for them in the above location and delete them, too.
Some applications may install an uninstaller program that can be used to remove the application. In some cases the uninstaller may be part of the application's installer, and is invoked by clicking on a Customize button that will appear during the install process.
Some applications may install components in the /Home/Library/Applications Support/ folder. You can also check there to see if the application has created a folder. You can also delete the folder that's in the Applications Support folder. Again, they don't do anything but take up disk space once the application is trashed.
Some applications may install a startupitem or a Log In item. Startupitems are usually installed in the /Library/StartupItems/ folder and less often in the /Home/Library/StartupItems/ folder. Log In Items are set in the Accounts preferences. Open System Preferences, click on the Accounts icon, then click on the LogIn Items tab. Locate the item in the list for the application you want to remove and click on the "-" button to delete it from the list.
Some software use startup daemons or agents that are a new feature of the OS. Look for them in /Library/LaunchAgents/ and /Library/LaunchDaemons/ or in /Home/Library/LaunchAgents/.
If an application installs any other files the best way to track them down is to do a Finder search using the application name or the developer name as the search term. Unfortunately Spotlight will not look in certain folders by default. You can modify Spotlight's behavior or use a third-party search utility, Easy Find, instead. Download Easy Find at VersionTracker or MacUpdate.
Some applications install a receipt in the /Library/Receipts/ folder. Usually with the same name as the program or the developer. The item generally has a ".pkg" extension. Be sure you also delete this item as some programs use it to determine if it's already installed.
There are many utilities that can uninstall applications. Here is a selection:
AppZapper
Automaton
Hazel
CleanApp
Yank
SuperPop
Uninstaller
Spring Cleaning
Look for them at VersionTracker or MacUpdate.

wHAT mac software can open microsoft excel file,

slow.why iwork cannot do this?
NeoOffice is slow compared to some programs, but it is the most accurate at opening Excel spreadsheets.
iWork does not open spreadsheets because it does not have a spreadsheet program. Check back in January to see if Apple add a spreadsheet to iWork '07, and in the meantime let Apple know that you want one.

Messenger:Mac on Macbook Pro

I have recently downloaded the latest version of the Messenger:Mac. When someone sends a video call to me, it says that i must download the latest version of messenger to continue. Can anyone help please???

I found "mercury messenger" connects to your msn, you can send video but the audio does not work.
I tried skype! terrible connection, the only good connection I have found for mac is Gmail Video.
You set up an email account free, sign in and go to chat box on left side and click send video, it prompts you to download a google video application, restart safari and sign into gmail and click video with your contacts it also allows you to video chat with people on AIM as well as gmail. The pop out video box is great you can work and chat.
you can sign in and chat on safari, the audio on google sounds like its week when you talk but its clear as a bell at the other end.
I tried gmail video on XP, on explorer there was a little delay on vocals but on mac it was great, best video chat for mac.

Is it possible to convert a Mac (Pages) document to Microsoft Works

I was wandering if it's possible to convert a Mac (Pages) document to Microsoft Works? Our main computer that we use is our Mac Desktop Computer but I have an HP laptop (which I'm about to throw out the window) that I sometimes use when I'm working on a project and I get tired of sitting in front of the desktop. My HP laptop has Microsoft works. If converting from Pages to Microsoft Works is possible please let me know how this can be done?

File > Export
Type Export into the help search field and it will highlight the menu for you.
This works for other menu options too.
