Slow transfer rates using MSN for mac

I'm trying to send files from MSN (for Mac) to an MSN (Windows) client. I'm beind a linksys WRT54G wireless router. Everything is set up well as far as the internet goes (browsing, downloading, uploading etc.). My problem is that when I try to send a file from my computer to another one, it takes forever! [A 2 MB video took over 5 minutes to send]
How can I increase the speed of the transfer? And which ports can I open to increase the speed.
Thanks in advance.

Solved.

Totally Remove msn for mac..

A week ago my dad tried using the corporate part of msn for mac and it did not work but remembered his email and password. Now, everytime I open msn it brings up the corporate login aswell as the personal login and wont automatically sign in when I open it. What I want to do is remove all the login names etc... from msn as this seems to be the problem.
Ok so ive tried the usual by just deleting the app and that didnt work. Then I found all the preferences in the documents folder so I deleted that and re-downloaded msn and that still did not work. I then tried AppZapper and that also did not work.
Does anyone have anything that can get rid of this?

I had not looked there but no there is nothing to do with msn in these locations.
I have just used spotlight to search for "messenger" and it has found a document called "Microsoft Messenger User Cache.Plist"
I have herd of Plist files before when people have been having trouble with the dvd ejection. It sounds to me like this is where it will be stored. Should I delete this file or is it a dodgy move?
Thanks

Connecting to msn for mac at school/uni

I recently brought a macbook, and it connected fine at home. At school it didn't, and the ict technicians had to change some internet settings around. All works fine except msn for mac, which is not blocked by the school so I don't see why this is. Does anyone know why this might be happening? Anyone who owns a mac that has to change some settings when at school/uni that has any idea would be of great help! I think you may have to change the proxy settings just unsure how you do this? Please, please help me! Much appreciated.

Easiest solution would be to try MSN Web Messenger found at http://webmessenger.msn.com/. It is an officially supported version of MSN Messenger except that it runs entirely from your browser (like Facebook or other web apps). Except it does not support Safari, dumb Microsoft, I suggest Mozilla Firefox 3 as an alternative.
If you want to stick with a client based method I recommend Adium which can be found at http://www.adiumx.com/.

WHEN LOGGING IN TO MSN FOR MAC WON'T APPEAR AS ONLINE.

so i log in to my account on msn for mac, but it won't show i'm online, people have to restart their msn to then see me online, but its not like i'm going to tell 400 contacts to do so.
how can I fix it? or what program msn alike can i download for my mac?
one that isn't adium
ITS SO WEIRD.

Please post questions regarding Messenger on Microsoft's own forums for their Mac software, as Apple discussions only provide support for Apple products:

MSN for mac... is there a way?

Ok, I know that when you get msn for mac, you can't have the built in isight for the new imac g5's work with it. But it there any way to get it working at all? Like modding the program or something?
Thanks.

Hi
Try Mercury mercury.to/">http://www.mercury.to/
Or aMSN amsn.sourceforge.net/">http://amsn.sourceforge.net/
Both do video but no audio.
If you want video and audio try looking at Skype.

Qwest/MSN for Mac

Hello,
I need to switch from my current ISP (very poor service) and my alternative is Qwest/MSN. I spoke with Qwest tech support and they told me the change over to the internet connection is seamless. Regarding MSN's bell's and whistles, I don't plan to use them.
Considering this: Are there any reasons why working with Qwest as the network provider and MSN as the ISP would present any (Mac-related) problems?
Thanks for your help.

I sign up with Qwest for the $35/month plan.
I believe William is correct. You don't actually talk to Qwest at all. Sign up with one of the ISPs on the page I linked to above. They'll charge you a monthly fee as your ISP and Qwest will bill you a DSL line fee as part of your phone bill.
I logon through the MSN interface to get on to the Internet.
Nope. No matter what ISP you use, you don't need to go to their web site at all. Start your browser on a blank page if you want, of whatever is your favorite site. You never need to look at your ISPs site if you don't want to.
I get email addressed to my domain, so that's not affected, right?
I don't have to make any changes to my DNS addresses with my domain registrar, right?
So you're already using a web hosting service to post a web site, which also already has email as part of the service? If so, then you can leave everything there just the way it is and continue to use your domain for your email accounts. Your ISP will also have email as part of your connection package, but you don't need to use it. If you want though, you could separate the two. Use your domain for business related email only, and set up an email with your ISPs name for personal. It's up to you.
For instance, I have email access as part of my account with Qwest. So if I wanted to, I could set up an email account which would be something like [email protected], but also leave my current email running under my domain name, which gives the emails a more professional look by matching www.jklstudios.com with email names like [email protected]
I don't have any needs/plans to spend any time on MSN.
Nor do you ever need to even if you go with MSN as your ISP.
So using Qwest/MSN should be a clean user experience as an entry point onto the Internet, right?
Any ISP which uses Qwest as their hub would be just as clean. It's really all in how reliable the up time of their servers are. That's the main thing to look into when choosing an ISP, other than price.

Updating msn for mac

I'm trying to update my msn messenger for mac to the newest 6.1 version.
But I can't activate the .dmg file. It sais the system is not configurated...
Tnx

Disk image mounter is selected as standard for opening the file. So that aint the problem.
I tried dllding pacifist but got the same problem with the .dmg file. I tried dlld it as a zip file but I can't extract it (I use stuffit expander 10.0).
I don't understand why I have all those probs I was able to install .dmg files untill now (when i tried installing the new version of msn...)

Adobe Photoshop CS5 for Mac install problem.

I just purchased Adobe Photoshop CS 5 for Mac and installed it on December 17, 2013. Last week I updated to a new harddrive. I am trying to re-install Photoshop and the disc asks all the usual questions: serial number, Adobe ID, Adobe Password, then the disk kicks out and says done. I open the applications folder and the Adobe Photoshop folder only has one file with 30 KB. Obviously, Photoshop will not open.

I was concerned that Adobe Photoshop CS6 would require me to update my computer to Mac OS 10.8. I updated from Mac OS 10.6.8 to 10.7.5 and lost my old InDesign and my old Photoshop. I purchased InDesign CS6. I read online that Photoshop CS6 was having problems with Mac OS 10.7.5 so I went with Photoshop CS5. I went to Best Buy and Simply Mac to try and purchase the program. They both told me to just go online and buy it. Nobody said go directly to Adobe. The problem is that I am just a homeowner that is not in the know about all these products. My wife is a school teacher and I could have purchased an education version. I thought, no I will just go ahead and purchase the full retail version.
The problem with Adobe is they think everyone is a computer geek and knows all about operating systems and programs. I am just a normal homeowner that is being taken advantage of by Adobe. Adobe manufactured and sold this product to a retail dealer. The product I purchased has never been licensed and I paid full retail for it. Now Adobe will not stand behind it!

Norton Antivirus for Mac causes problems?

On this, and other advice sites, I'm getting the message Norton for Mac causes performance problems. Is this the general consensus, and can anyone offer more info?
I have NAV and my iMac seems slower lately...!

Hi--
In addition to the other advice you've already gotten, I suggest you open the Activity Monitor application from your Utilities folder and see if there are any processes that are taking up too much processor time.
Once Activity Monitor is open, look at the CPU tab at the bottom. With no other programs open, you should see a fairly high value for "% Idle". It will vary by computer, but my iMac Core 2 Duo from two years ago shows 97 to 100% idle.
If it's significantly lower, like 85% or lower, go to the menu at the top of the Activity monitor window and choose "All Processes" from the pop-up menu there (not "All Processes, Heirarchically"). Now click a couple of times on the "% CPU" column header until the arrow to the left header points down. The processes that are taking up the most CPU time will be at the top.
Again, if Activity Monitor is the only program open, the values will be pretty low, like less than 5% usually. Be careful, though, about just quitting processes via that program. It might be possible to get your Mac pretty confused if you don't know what you're quitting.

MacBook Air w/Outlook For Mac Sync Problems

I recently bought a MacBook Air (had a PC) along w/Office for Mac
I transferred my .pst to my new MacBook and lost 25% of my contacts but have them backed up on my Blackberry
I tried to sync my BB to my Outlook and they won't talk, even my Calendar or Tasks
I also noticed that even w/Sync they don't speak either
I want to know how to get my contacts onto my Office Outlook from BB so when I get my iPhone4S I can sync all my contacts and Outlook calendar
Can someone provide some guidance?
thank you,
Rick in Az

Hi Rick,
This is probably your best bet - http://www.markspace.com/
I've never had good luck syncing Blackberry devices with OS X, especially with Entourage (the now discontinued Mac predecessor to Outlook). Missing Sync has never given me any issues/problems in the 4+ years that I've been using it with clients.

Outlook for Mac - database problem

So I deleted some files from the User files on Mac to free up space on drive. When I tried to open Outlook from Office for Mac 2011 I now get this meesage...
There is a problem with the Office database. To use the database, you must rebuild it using the Database Utility.
The Office database stores your personal information, such as the Scrapbook and Outlook messages and contacts. To continue, click Rebuild. After the rebuilding process is complete, close the Database Utility. Then the database will be available for your Office applications.
When I tried to rebuild the main identity using the Microsoft Database Utility, it got to step 3 then came up with an error that reads: Microsfot Database Utility has encountered a problem and needs to close...
I am thining i need to unistall and re-install outllook. Can anyopne provide any guidance/

Microsoft Office for Mac Installation Problems

I have Office for Mac 2004, which supposedly allows 3 installations, with 3 different Installation Key Numbers. I have installed it on 2 Macs, and all is fine until I try to use both computers at the same time. Then I get a message on the Mac on which I installed it second telling me that "a copy of this programme is already open", and if I want to continue I have to close down all the Office applications on the first machine! Very frustrating! I am almost certain I used a different installation Key for the two machines but cannot find the recoed of what Key number was used. If I look in "Properties" I see that the product ID numbers are the same until the last group of digits which are different on the two machines. How can I find which installation Key numbers I used on each machine, and is there any way I can get aouns this problem. I am nervous to unistall and reinstall in case I am then not allowed to reinstall with a previously used Key!?
Thanks,
Kendrew.

Don't be nervous. It's no big deal. On one machine, run Office and make note of the Product ID in the About <app> dialog.
Now, on the other machine, delete the file at /Application/Microsoft Office 2008/Office/OfficePID.plist and at /Users/<you>/Library/Preferences/Microsoft/Office 2008/Microsoft Office Settings.plist.
The next time you run Office on the other machine, you will be able to re-enter your product key. After entering the serial number, double-check the product key with the one from the first machine. If it is the same go back and enter another serial number.

Quicken for Mac 2007 problem with 10.6.2

So I went to open Quicken for the first time since installing the 10.6.2 update and I thought I'd share my experience.
After repeatedly crashing upon launch, I contacted Quicken support.
After a 3-hour chat (my favorite part was when the rep asked me what a G4 was)
I was given the R3 update, which still won't open my main file.
As it turns out, I have a drive that I can boot into 10.4.11, where everything seems to be working now. I was able to open a smaller (664 kb), simpler more recent file, but my main file (6.4 mb) with all my important stuff can be opened only under 10.4.11.
I learned along the way that Quicken never updated the code for Intel processors, and that Quicken is proud to announce Quicken for Mac 2010. Here's a quote: "Our Quicken Mac 2007 and earlier users should note that this is a brand new product, so some of the features you've grown used to may not be included"
Quicken 2010 for Mac - Now with fewer features!
Anyway, I hope this helps someone out there....

I am a new convert to IBANK (www.iggsoftware.com). I have been running Quicken 2008 in Windows on my Mac. I have been waiting for Quickens new program as Quicken 2007 for the MAC is only half the program that it's Windows counterpart is. Intuit has chosen to string us along for over a year waiting for their new Quicken Financial Life program only to dumb it down (http://quicken.intuit.com/personal-finance-software/mac-personal-financial-softw are.jsp) to Quicken Essentials for the MAC.
It is time to send them a message that they are going to lose money for their lack of comitment to us MAC users.

Creative Suite 2 Premium for Mac download problem

I have Creative Suite 2 Premium for Mac and have tried to install it and have been directed to http://www.adobe.com/downloads/cs2_downloads/ to download a version that will work. According to the install PDF there should be 7 files to download, I can only see 5. There appear to be 2 files missing for the premium version where can I find these please? I've been sent to the forums by a member of the Adobe live chat team.

That PDF is dated June 2005. I assume it has not been updated for the re-packaged non-activation CS2 downloads, which were made available in Dec 2012.
Try downloading and installing what's there and see if anything's missing once you've finished installing.
Or have you already done that? If so, can you be specific about what is definitely missing and we'll try lobbying Adobe to fill in the gaps.
