Microsoft Messenger won't connect anymore?

I've been using microsoft messenger for 9 months now perfectly fine, but today when I got home it says "im not connected to the internet or msn is busy and can't connect." I tried getting on my ipod and even that couldn't log on. I went and got my PC and tried using msn and it wouldn't long on there either. I had another friend log me on her computer and it said the same thing. What's wrong with my connection? I am connection to the internet just fine and same with ichat. It's only microsoft messenger that won't work. I tried uninstalled/reinstalling. I tried rebooting my computer. Idk what to do anymore. Please explain thouroughly if you have a solution, because I don't know much about mac settings. Thanks.

Welcome to Discussions, itakeitwell
This method of rebooting the modem and router works for me when I have connection trouble:
(1) Power everything down.
(2) Restart your modem, router and / or wireless access point (if you have them), and then your Mac in that order. Let the self test on each device complete before restarting the next.
If you still have trouble after rebooting your system, contact your ISP and have them check your service.

  • Facebook messenger won't start anymore.

    Facebook messenger won't start anymore on my iPad Air (iOS 8.1.3) after updating de Facebook App (v 23.0) on January 30. The blue circle keeps turning. What can I do?

    Hi jneelen,
    That is a bummer when the apps are not working. For most issues with apps that have been downloaded from the App Store, the troubleshooting article will work for most issues when they do not launch or crash on you.

  • Microsoft Exchange won't connect with my iPhone (it's saying the password is incorrect, but it shouldn't be), now I can't delete that inbox on the phone.  Help??

    Microsoft Exchange won't connect with my iPhone (it's saying the password is incorrect, but it shouldn't be), now I can't delete that inbox on the phone.  Help??

    Turn off wifi.  Use wireless signal. reenter password at settings.  This should work.  Turn wifi back on if you wish.  Wait for next occurrence within hours or days.  Have not found a permanent preventive solution.  Thinking of replacing my four year old wireless router.

  • Microsoft Messenger or Ebuddy connects and disconnects

    Hello
    I've just bought my iPhone 4 a month ago. I'm very happy with it (formerly a BlackBerry user) but there's an issue that is driving me crazy. I've installed Microsoft Messenger and it connects and disconnects every 3 minutes. Also I've tried with Ebuddy but it has the same behaviour. It's quite strange because with BlackBerry I had no issues regarding this app
    My carrier is Movistar (Colombia) and I have an unlimited data plan
    Do anybody know how to solve this? I've read the Messenger's reviews on the Apple Store and it seems that a lot of people (in Latin America at least) are having the same problem
    Thank you

    You need to contact Microsoft about a problem with their iPhone app and the same for the app developer for eBuddy.

  • Microsoft Messenger won't sign in..

    Hi,
    My problem is, as you can read in the title, Microsoft Messenger. I downloaded the application from Microsoft's web site (v 6.0.3) and copied it to my Applications folder. I have both a Gmail ID and a Hotmail ID to connect to Microsoft's Messenger network.
    From both IDs, I can't sign in to my account. There are no problems with my accounts. I use can use them on another Mac or a PC. I tried deleting my .plist files but that didn't work.
    Is there anybody can help me? Anyone having the same problems?

    Hi Alison
    I appreciate that this isn't a solution to your problem, however it might help him at least talk to his friends for now.

    This will also allow him to use his webcam with his friends unlike the standard version of msn.

  • Mail Client Crashing, Mac Messenger won't connect, 1 USB port won't work!!!

    Any ideas on why my macbook pro has the above probs.....Wen I open mail and click on a message, Mal just crashes and gives me a message to relaunch. MSN won't connect no matter how many times i reinstall it and my son decided to unplug his Ipod from the usb port and now anything i plug into the port isn't recognised.......Pleeeeeeaaassseeeee Help!!!!! TY

    Both cables (Cat5e and Cat6) that I used was tested with my WD live hub and worked at 1 Gbps. The Cat5e is not shielded and I'm fairly confident the Cat 6 cable is unshielded as well. I should mention at this point that I've made my own network patch leads for over 10 years now and my networking career started out using coax cables. I would say that I know what I'm doing and can concluded with 100% certainty that it is not the cables.
    After installing Windows 7 through Bootcamp there is not even an option in the network adapter setting to set the speed any faster than 100 Mbps.
    After going to my local Apple store (30 Km away in London!) the genius I spoke with suggested I book a slot and bring it in for them to test to determine if a new logic board should be ordered. I must be honest, I thought however I spoke with would treat me like an idiot and try and blame anything but the mac but she listened and agreed with my assessment and suggested I bring it it for a test.

  • Yahoo messenger won't connect with Firefox. How do I fix the proxy settings to get it to work?

    Troubleshooting on yahoo messenger says that it had a problem with the HTTP connection. It says to use IE to open tools and then go to internet options to verify my existing settings (proxy server settings). I'm not sure how to do this on Firefox. Thank you in advance.

    Try the following solutions and whichever setting works, keep it Permanent:
    -> Tap ALT key or press F10 to show the Menu Bar
    1) go to Tools Menu -> Options -> Advanced -> Network -> click "Settings..." button infront of Connection -> select option2 -> Click OK -> OK
    2) go to Tools Menu -> Options -> Advanced -> Network -> click "Settings..." button infront of Connection -> select option3 -> Click OK -> OK
    3) go to Tools Menu -> Options -> Advanced -> Network -> click "Settings..." button infront of Connection -> select option1 -> Click OK -> OK
    Check which solution works.

  • MacBook and Wireless Epson Printer won't connect anymore?

    I have a MacBook Pro running Lion OSX. I also have an Epson Stylus NX430. I had it connected to my laptop wirelessly and it worked fine. I went home for spring break and when I came back, I tried printing something, and my computer said that my printer was not connected. I checked the wireless settings on the printer and they were all correct. I checked my wifi settings on my computer and they were also correct. I couldn't get it to work so I unistalled the printer from the computer and tried reinstalling it. When I went to add wireless printers, my computer still didn't recognize the printer. Now I have to use a USB cable to print. How to I get my computer to recognize my wireless printer again?

    Forgetting the Network didn't work.  It's dong the same thing.
    So if it's a router problem, what can we do?
    Two devices work, and two don't...I just don't understand why.
    Could it be that too many people have logged into our wireless and now it's out of IP's? Could we ask people who have previously logged into our internet to delete it completely? I don't know if that would free anything up?

  • My microsoft word won't open anymore in macbook pro with latest OSX

    I had installed OSX latest version some months ago and there was no problem with opening all documents in words.
    Just today I can open the word document but stalled and could not edit as there is a rolling icon (processing) appeared.
    I did remove the word program by using my MacKeeper software remove installed program.
    Then I insert the Microsoft Office 2011 original CD to reinstall the microsoft office again.
    Before the crash and after the reinstallation both My Excel and Powerpoint are doing ok .. can
    be opened and used to edit ppt and xls documents.
    Before the word program removed .. when I opened the word document just appeared
    "opening normal dot" message.  This had never happened before the stalled opened
    word document.
    I did also restart the macbook pro (version 2011 manufacturing date) but now my word
    even can not be opened with error reporting message as follows:

    what am I supposed to do to ? I try to googling the topic but can not find the exact similar incident in google search
    results. Is this some kind of a virus attack ? Does anyone can recommend any solutions that work?
    Thankyou so much for your sharing and suggestions.

    I am running Word for Mac v 14.2.0 quite happily on my iMac 27" running Maverick 10.9.4.
    Possibly it is due to issues with your Retina screen? The obvious first step is to update Word to the latest version.
    Virus attacks are not the first guess on a Mac. I have never ever had one nor even been able to locate any malware for well over a decade. Word can harbour Macro viruses but I thought that the Mac version of Word didn't do macros.
    Either way this is not the place to get your answers. Pages is not Word. Use Microsft's support forums for their software.

  • Please help. My wifi won't connect anymore

    My wifi was working fine but now I get an exclamation ! At the end of any wifi address including my home one. It will not connect to any wifi including the cloud and keeps coming up asking for a Phobos.apple.com name and password which I don't have. Having to use 3G continually. I'm not very techy so I haven't changed any settings. Please advise in really easy to understand terms.

    Restart your WiFi router and then your iPad.
    To reset your iPad, simultaneously press and hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple Logo. This can take up to 15 seconds so be patient and don't release the buttons until the logo appears.

  • Won't connect anymore......

    ........to the wireless connection.
    Tried everything, restarting , set back to factory settings , and this multiple times.
    Diagnoses tell me everytime apple tv is working perfectly.
    But still can't connect to it wireless.
    And most of the time he doesn't show my wireless connection.
    And I use a perfect DSL router who is connected to 4 Mac's who are working all speedy.
    Do you think the wireless function is broke or so ?
    Some advice please.
    G.

    I started having a problem with my Apple TV disconnecting from the network every few hours and not being able to reconnect after I replaced my old 802.11g router with an AirPort Extreme Base Station. The only way I can get it to reconnect to the network is either recycle the power (unplug it and then plug it back in) or restart the router but it will disconnect again after a few hours.
    I thought the problem might be related to 802.11n but another user also reported the same problem in a different thread which he reportedly solved by shortening his 16 character WAP key to 8 characters.
    I think the networking software in Apple TV may be a bit flaky. Try recycling the power on yours and see if it reconnects. If none of the above works for you then yours may have a dead NIC in which case you would need to contact AppleCare.

  • What the **** is up with iChat? It just won't connect anymore!!?

    Ok, a few weeks ago I was looking at ways to (securely) screen share with my mothers computer (she is in England, I am in Germany) to help her out with problems she was having with MS Word.
    She has Tiger on her iMac, I have Leopard, so unfortunately it is not just a case of utilising the 'screen share' function in iChat.
    After doing some research into ways to screenshare between these two OS's, I downloaded Chicken of the VLC onto my computer and, although I am fairly sure I didn't actually use it, I did start it up, and I think, but I stress the word 'think' that since then, (about 6 weeks ago), it has been impossible to have an AV chat with anyone. Can someone please let me know if they have any ideas about what the problem might be?

    it looksl like that AP somehow got configured to be in MESH mode, you'll need to add it to the mac filter.  Once it joins you can then change the mode back to local and remove the filter entry.

  • Canvio 3.0 won't connect and now won't power up

    My Canvio 3.0 (1T) was working fine.
    First used it with a Inspiron 1501 with Win 7 32 bit, then with a new HP dv7 with Win 7 64 bit.
    A week ago, I plugged it in, the laptop didn't see it connected. I unplugged cord, plugged it in again on both sides, power came on and then went out. It didn't come back.
    I thought cable was messed up and bought a new one.
    Same behavior. Power came on but HP never saw it connected.
    I tried disconnecting and plugging in again, and now no power.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks.

    I am using USB 3.0 ports. On more research, the majority of people are having the same problem after a few months using these drives. The connection at the back gets loose and won't connect anymore. I've tried wiggling it, but it only connects for a second at best.
    Anyone found a way to get it to connect? I've even gotten a new cable; it's the drive, not the cable.
    I can't believe this. Toshiba used to be better than this.

    I've had a similar problem.  On my first boot up after installing 10.7.4,  Firefox would not open.  Crashed every time.  Safari was not affected.  I have no idea if it was related to the flash plugin, but I did install a the latest version of that a couple of weeks ago. 
    Here's what fixed it: a second boot up.
