Microsoft Messenger for Mac

I installed Microsoft Messenger for mac, but it could not login automatically. Everytime I have to type my ID and password.
What's the problem?

Ask Microsoft, they make and support it.

Microsoft Messenger for Mac--makes me go crazy!

I have just done a full system restore, and as my friends are all crummy windows users, i installed Microsoft Messenger 5.0. Normally, when i sign in my status is always 'appear offline', but now, my status is always online.
How can i choose to always appear offline like 3 days ago?

Ola,
I had the same (small) problem at first. I'm not sure from your description whether it is a small problem or a bigger one, but here's what I did to set it to "offline":
Now, when you click on the MSN icon it automatically log on, right? Your settings are probably set to show yourself being online. Just log off again and choose "sign in with a different account" and you should see a screen which gives you the option how to show yourself whenever you sign in. So choose the offline option and this should be your new settings for when you're logging in. Tell me if this helps,
Cheers

Microsoft Messenger for Mac 8.0.1

I cannot sign in to MS Messenger. It keeps telling me to retry, but Yahoo Messenger works just fine. Does anyone know why this is happening?

Please post your question on Microsoft's own forums for their Mac software as Apple Communities only provide support for Apple products and the MS forums are obviously geared more toward your question.

So whats up with Microsoft Messenger for Mac

So
I can't web cam with my friends any more ?

This is true. Yahoo and ms are joining forces on this but Yahoo seems to be the most proactive in making it actually work on a mac.. Yahoo's video now works but only with PC buddies with the MS messenger LIVE update - no voice as yet.
Personally i use ichat with a jabber account to talk to most of my msn buddies but that's not for the faint hearted and still no video or voice

Luckily i've converted my closest friends to Skype which works great with the new video update - also with voice and file transfer. The leader of the pack in IMHO but i live abroad so i also use it for all my telephony abuse.

Microsoft Messenger for Mac 6.0.3

Newby to Mac
Has anybody installed and used this yet?
Any issues that I should be aware of?

An 80 GB drive is really just 74.21 GB. This is a manufacturing thing. This explains it.
Mac OS X reports hard drive capacity in binary math, hard drive manufacturers report capacity in base 10 math
On your MacBook your also getting the OSX and all the extra stuf which takes up more than 8 GB. You have iLife trial versions of iWork and Office. The best way to gain space would be do a custom install on your drive and get rid of all the extras you don't want. Language files and printer drivers can take over 3 GB. Garageband takes up a few GB. It all adds up quickly.

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,.

Voice over and windows messenger for Mac help

Hello,
I am using VoiceOver and would like to use Windows Messenger for Mac but I can't seem to get VoiceOver to read the contact list for messenger when I use the control-option-shift-down arrow to interact with the contents of the window it skips the contants list and goes straight to image behind it.
Is there a way to have VO read the contacts list in windows messenger or is it just not a compatiable program for VO?

Here is the wikipedia article on aMSN. The article also includes a link to the aMSN website. It is a multi-platform messenger application that interoperates with Microsoft Messenger.

Issues with Microsoft Word for mac closing when I try to open old or newly downloaded documents

When I download a document from my professor, or try to open an older document, my word automatically quits. If it's already closed and I try to open a document, it will show the dot at the bottom of the icon that it's loading to open but it quickly disappears and quits itself. Is anyone else experiencing this issue or know what I can do to fix it? Thanks.

I have Microsoft Word for Mac 2011, version 14.3.1. When I try to open a document, an error occurs, says file type is "blocked from opening in this version." This was NOT immediately after a version update. Any ideas? Thank you.

Can i use microsoft office for mac on windows 7 installed on macbook pro?, can i use microsoft office for mac on windows 7 installed on macbook pro?

I have recently installed Windows 7 on my Macbook Pro (2011). I have also recently got Microsoft office for Mac 2011. Can somebody please advise if it is possible to use (install) office for mac 2011 on this windows 7 that i have installed. If possible, how to do it?

No it is not possible.
You can use office for mac, on OSX, but not on windows.
You need to use the windows version, on windows 7.

I lost my ability to use Microsoft Offic for Mac, when I upgraded my MAC from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion! HELP!

HELP !
After I upgraded my operating system on my mac, (from Snow Leopard (10.6 ? ) to Mountain Lion (10.8.2), virtually ALL of my documents (recipes, update logs, information of untold things), have been denied to me with my Microsoft Word for Mac (which I have used since I purchased my mac in Aug.2008).
      I now get a window that tells me "You can't open the application "Microsoft Word" because PowerPC applications are no longer supported." (Needless to say, I cannot use Excel or anything else, either!)
      Yet, I can still access them, fully (read and even print fro them), individually, by dragging a file into my PREVIEW program!
      What gives?
      I am not a savvy programmer, nor do I confess to somehow being warned that this might happen when I upgraded my operating system.
     Is there any reasonable (easier?) way to continue the use of these (to me) very important files? I only upgraded because I upgraded my iPhone to a 4S and wanted everything to conform to siimilar circumstances!
     What can I DO?

You need to upgrade your copy of MS Office. You're using a version that is 8 years old (at least). You can buy Office 2011, which will work. You could also get a copy of Pages from the App Store, which is cheaper and will open Word files (though not perfectly). Or you could get a free Office clone, like OpenOffice or LibreOffice.

Can you open with Pages documents that were created in a 2004 version of Microsoft word for Mac?

Can you open in Pages documents that were created in a 2004 version of Microsoft Word for Mac?

Pages '09 will open .doc files from Word 2004. The Mac OS is not what is in question. Pages '09 opens Word 2004 documents and if the same version of Pages will run in Lion and in Mountain Lion ..... Thats all that matters.
I trust you were using MS Office 2004 and would now like to buy Pages?

I upgraded my Mac from OSX 10.5.8 to Snow Leopard and then to Mountain Lion 10.8.2. I did have Microsoft Office for Mac 2004 in my applications and now get a message "can't open Office because Power PC applications are no longer supported."

I just upgraded my MAC from OSX 10.5.8 to Snow Leopard and then to Mountain Lion 10.8.2. When I try to access my Microsoft Office for MAC (2004 edition) files I am getting a message "can't open Office because Power PC applications are no longer supported. How can I access all of my save Word documents? I just want to be able to retrieve all of my documents that were in Microsoft Office for Mac (2004). If I purchase the newest version of MS office for Mac from Apple will I be able to retrieve my old documents?

Use any number of free alternatives to your nearly decade old version of MS Office.
Consider
LibreOffice (donation-supported)
NeoOffice (free)
OpenOffice (free)
In addition to the above I also recommend Apple's Pages ($19.99). I use OpenOffice and Pages and have been completely Microsoft - free for years. Life is better without Microsoft.
