MSN for iChat

Hello All,
I was just wondering if there is a Plugin for iChat that will give me MSN access. I really cant be bothered going through the Jabber setup to get MSN contacts, and was just wondering if there is an easier way? Maybe a Plugin or something like that??

  • .Mac account delete and msn in iChat?

    Hello
    A while back I created a .Mac account through iChat now I don't use it at all. Is there a way to delete this? Also I was wondering is there any other way besides psi jabber to use msn in iChat? Thanks.

    Hi,
    In iChat > Preferences > Accounts highlight the unwanted account then use the - button at the bottom.
    This deletes it from iChat.
    The blurb on MobileMe Terms of Use does say that you can notify Apple about having a name deleted at their end. (All @Mac.com things seem to point to MobileMe on this matter)
    However there is no link.
    I even asked the Hosts here at Discussions and they said they would look in to it but other than that I got no new information.
    So on this front you can delete it from iChat but there seems to be no way to get Apple to delete it.
    On the MSN through iChat. There is no way other than using a Third Party App to be able to Register with the required Transport.
    Psi is one such Third Party App.
    In fact doing a Google search It is the only listed on the first page.
    Adium and ProteusX will allow you to set up Jabber, AIM and MSN Buddies in the same list (Multi-Service apps) but only for text Chatting.

  • Msn for iphone

    anyone know where i can get msn for my iphone 3G?

    Your best bet right now is to install an application called 'parlingo'.
    It can be used with MSN, AIM, ICQ, iChat etc, you just have to create a parlingo account and add your other account details, all of your contacts are synced into one list.
    It isn't perfect but it is rather good.

  • Msn on ichat

    trying to connect msn account to ichat, but the problem me facing is my account name is @gmail.com, and ichat takes it as a google account. any ideas on how i can solve this?

    Hi,
    To Text Chat only (it's all you can do) to MSN users you have to Set up a Jabber account and follow this set of Instructions.

  • Connecting a macbook to a tv for ichat?

    Hi,
    I am wondering if there is a way to use a macbook connected to a tv with a dvi or similar cable to ichat.  My Mom is throwing a 70th birthday party for my dad and we usually chat macbook to imac, but I know there is a way to connect to a tv so I can 'attend' the party.  I can't seem to find what I am looking for, but it seems like it would be simple.  The problem is that my Mom isn't too savvy in this area, and it is hard to walk her through this.  I would think once she connects to the tv, a simple switch in Displays prefs would do it.  Any suggestions?
    Thanks,
    Greg

    Hi,
    My MacBook Pro has a DVI Output and came with an Apple DVI to VGA cable.
    It is very short at about 6 inches.
    My TV has VGA Input.
    For me this would need a longer cable to be able to place the Computer in a position to still use the camera (it would be useless for them to see you but you not see them because the camera was facing the wrong way) then in System Preferences > Displays Mirroring can be turned On.
    I would then go Full Screen in iChat so that the iChat Video chat was the whole display on the TV.
    I would also get iGlasses (A System Add-on) that can be used by iChat to do various Adjustments to the Macs Video pic  (Pan and Zoom is one thing that may be useful for a shot of a room when people are further back than normal).
    For Sound to the TV she would probably have to use a 3.5mm jack to whatever the TV has.
    (And chose System Preferences > Sound > Output  and then Line Out (it may read Headphones if something is Plugged in) - she may also have the option for the Digital feed).
    Obviously if her Mac or her TV have other connections then some inter cabling will be needed.

  • Final Cut Timeline Feed as video source for iChat?

    I was at the Apple NAB presentation in Vegas a few weeks ago, and one of the things they showcased in regard to iChat AV was the ability for an editor to videoconference with several other people at once and one of the video feeds in the chat window was actually the output from the editor's Final Cut Pro timeline. As he made changes in the FCP timeline, he could play it out in real time and all the people in the chat could see the video feed and make comments on the edit.
    OK- so we were excited because that's a workflow issue we have here. So, we bought some iSight cameras and Tiger and started to do some testing here. The only problem is that it doesn't seem very easy to set up. At first I just thought, "well, they are just playing the timeline out of the firewire port on the FCP machine and another computer is ingesting that firewire stream as a video source for iChat." except when you connect 2 Macs together with a firewire cable, the FCP system doesn't detect a DV video device to output to and the iChat system doesn't detect the incoming firewire stream as a "camera". I spoke to tech support and they said it's not something they support so no luck there.
    I did find an article on Creative Cow about someone doing something similar, but it involved exporting the FCP timeline out through a Kona analog video card into an external tape deck that does analog to DV conversion which then can be imported back into iChat as a DV stream, but last time I checked, a Kona card would run me around 1500 bucks.
    Anyone have any other ideas?

    HI Jeremy,
    Welcome to the Aple Discussion Pages.
    Based on the Auto Responding iChat Accounts that play films I would guess they were either using an AppleScript to import FCP as the Video sourdce or usiing an Add-On like iChatUSBCam that also alows you to change the video source to the desktop.
    iChatUSBcam has a new beta for Tiger http://www.ecamm.com/mac/ichatusbcam/

  • I know my Apple Id (not .mac) and password but I can't logon to ichat.  I keep getting a message of password not matched.  Do I need to create a new account for Ichat?

    I know my Apple Id (it isn't ".mac") and password but I can't log on to ichat.  I keep getting a message of password not matched.  I saw somewhere that my Apple id is the same as my ichat account.  Do I need to create a new account for Ichat?  I've already reset my Apple id password 3 times in the last 2 days.  What am I doing wrong?

    Hi,
    At one time only Email IDs from Apple (when it was just @Mac.com) were referred to as "Apple IDs"
    Other IDs such as to log in to Discussions were know as Discussion IDs
    Things like the Online Store and iTunes and Apple realising that people would prefer one ID to have access to Everything tended to move things together.
    There can be a variety of combos now
    iChat Name
    @mac.com before MobileMe
    @mac.com post MobileMe
    AIM Names
    AIM names current
    MobileMe (@Me.com)
    Style
    Email Address valid with the .Mac service prior MobileMe Note 1
    Email style Name Valid with AIM
    May or may not be an Email address
    Can be AIM issued or third party Email address
    Valid Email with MobileMe Service
    Other Abilities
    May also be Currently valid email linked to a MobileMe account
    Maybe Valid Apple ID
    Is a Valid AIM Screen Name
    May Not be a Valid Apple ID (was an option choice at one stage)
    Is a Valid AIM Screen Name
    May not look like an Email (No @whatever.com) but may be linked to either an AOL email account or AIM one
    Current Registration seems to be pushing Email registration (@AIM.com)or asking to use another you currently use.
    Trial Accounts are limited to the Trial Period Only as Emails, Valid AIM Screen Names and Apple IDs.
    Apple ID
    Possibly (likely)
    Possibly (depends when Registered)
    More currently Yes.
    No
    No
    Yes
    Glad I could help.

  • Anyone use M-Audio FireWire Solo for iChat AV 3.1 audio output?

    Using an up to date iSight, audio output for iChat AV 3.1 works perfectly through my G5 internal speaker but does not work through my FireWire Solo. It yields 100% digital distortion everytime the person on the other end speaks. Everything else in my setup works beautifully with my M-Audio device (Logic Pro, Pro Tools, Reason, iTunes and all other applications). M-Audio is looking into it, but does not have an answer yet.

    Hi,
    Checking olderpost I found your had been missed.
    Add-on Capture cards for Video and MIDI audio devices have to have the most recent drivers.
    I would alos recommend setting up MIDI devices with the MIDI Set Up Utility found in Applications/Utilities

  • Can't make an account for ichat, can't make an account for ichat

    Hi
    I just bought me a new macbook pro and i wanted to use ichat.
    The problem is, I can't make an account to use it.
    I just have hotmail.com accounts, and it doesn't work on ichat.
    And i fail in making an account that is compatible for ichat.
    Can you help me ?

    Hi,
    In iChat 4 there was a Get an iChat Account Button that linked to the @mac.com registration page (when you selected @mac.com in the add account drop down)
    In iChat 5 this had an option for the AIM Option to link via the same button to the AIM registration page.
    Then AIM moved their Registration page.
    For iChat 5.x.x. Apple have since disabled the Button (or pointed it to s different page saying the service has sort of ended)
    The Button is not there in iChat 6
    The @mac.com registration Page is Here
    This allows you to link an external to Apple email ID to an @mac.com name (It is sort of Hard Linked so you can only use this Email once this way)
    You cannot use an Email already Linked to an Apple ID.
    The Password you create here must not exceed 16 characters (AIM Server limit)
    The Name is both Apple ID and AIM valid Screen Name.
    A name create here will work in any version of iChat.
    iCloud.
    You can create a iCloud ID and this will end @me.com
    Again the password should be kept to 16 characters max.
    You can link existing Apple IDs to this as the creation process but again this "Hard Links" the emails
    iCloud does allow you to create IDs from scratch (i.e with an email not already used with an Apple ID)
    These names will only work in iChat 6 or Messages beta or Above (there's bound to be an "Above" at some stage as they say Messages will be in Mountain Lion)
    AIM registration page is here
    This can create any ID you want (it says it will be @aim.com but your don't enter this Suffix)
    You can use a secondary email for Password recovery and confirmation as many times as you want.
    The password is limited to 16 automatically
    You an in fact list any existing email as the AIM name (I have seen both Google mail IDs and Hotmail IDs as AIM Screen Names and technically it is possible to use an Apple name/ ID and the Name at AIM - most times it will tell you it is already in use)

  • Why did AIM for Ichat suddenly return an error?

    I was using AIM for iChat earlier this morning and everything was working fine. Then suddenly, without warning, it logs out of every iChat account and returns the error: "An internal error occured that disconnected you from all iChat services. To resume iChat, log in again to your instant messaging account." I can log into my bonjour and jabber account, but as soon as I try to connect to AIM, it brings them all offline. I went to AIM.com and signed in and have been using the web client since, but apparently this has happened to about half of my friends on iChat. Why would this be and what can I do to fix it?

    Hi,
    Now and then the AIM Servers have a blip and many people seems to get kicked Off Line.
    I have server accounts/AIM IDs and keep some using SSL and the api.oscar.aol.com server on port 443 and some using the login.oscar.aol.com server on port 5190 without SSL.
    Usually it only effects one group of my logins and not all of them.
    It can of course be a server local to you that is having issues.

  • Webcam for ichat or Skype?

    Hi, could anyone give me any advice on a good webcam to use with iChat or Skype?
    Thanks, John

    Hi
    http://www.mac-compatible-web-cam.com/ can be a starting point.
    With a Mac Pro that has USB 2.0 ports you can get any UVC (USB Video Class) camera as the Mac OS has included a Generic driver for these since OS 10.4.9 (Although it does not always give you all the options Vista might.
    UVC tends also to be known as Vista Certified.
    They include the X-Box 360 camera which gives quite a Good picture.
    The Link I posted links to other site that sell the cameras.
    Not all of those sell brand new cameras. (I spotted a Firewire Web Cam on sale from Amazon in the list)
    A Firewire camcorder can function as a Web cam without the need for further drivers as well.

  • Hide function in Login Items doesn't work for iChat and Address Book app.

    There is a problem with the hide function for iChat and Address Book application in Login Items. If you go to System Preferences, click on Login Items, add the iChat and Address Book application to the Login Items, activate the hide function for iChat and Address Book application and restart your Mac iChat and Address Book application will start with opening a window. Normally this shouldn't happen if the hide function in Login Items is activated for iChat and Address Book application.

    Hi,
    Your link refers to changes to 10.6.3 prior release as tested by Developers.
    The numbering system tells us that. (Build 10Dxxx).
    Therefore it is an Update and not an Upgrade, therefore no-one is going to get charged.
    If the article is the so called Release Notes then they mention nothing about correcting any issue with Login Items Hiding.
    If you think an issue is being missed there is a place to report that, from this icon view list http://www.apple.com/feedback/ which includes Hardware and Software.
    I personally have not tested Login Items Hiding as I tend to think there is no point in having an App open if it not on the Desktop.
    As Kappy pointed out there was little progress on a similar issue with Leopard.
    This could be interpreted that Apple feel that the issue does not effect enough people or that other issues are more important.
    As anyone and everyone can report Issues and contribute their ideas to the OS and it's improvement via the Feedback links it would seem to be a question of enough people bringing it to Apple's Attention.
    I would tend to work on Issues that stopped an App functioning first, linked with integration with the OS and any changes to the major parts of it such as a Quicktime.
    Lesser issues that maybe more cosmetic in appearance would tend to fall down my list of things to do.
    Presumably Apple have a grading system on such things that may not fit with either of our views.
    As Apple don't reveal any details about the OS Updates or even Upgrades then anything any of us think we interpret as a pattern is just that - an interpretation.
    Consequently anything we say on the subject is then likely to be seen as speculation under the Terms of Use of these Boards.
