MSN Messenger ALWAYS asks me to download latest version

Not sure if this is the right forum but here goes. I'm using MSN Messenger but almost every time I Sign I get This:
"A newer version of MSN Messenger for Macintosh is available. You must download the newer version in order to continue using MSN Messenger. Would you like to do this now?"
I do. I use it. I log out. When I try to sign in again (after shutting down my Mac) I get the exact same message every time. Anybody know what's up with that?

 You have landed in iSight Discussions.
MSN Messenger for Mac (now Microsoft Messenger for Mac is an old, text only app, so I know you are not using iSight with it.
I do not use Microsoft Messenger for Mac, and I do not know what "Sign" is, but here are my best suggestions assuming you are writing about MSN Messenger for Mac.
If you do not keep your Mac OS X maintenance up to date, do complete maintenance now. Then try again to see if you still have the problem.
Do you repair permissions before AND after you update Microsoft Messenger for Mac? Do so before and after your next update. Then try one more time to see if you still have the problem.
Finally, I see that you use Mac OS X (10.4.2) on your iMac. I suggest you apply the Mac OS X (10.4.5) Combo Updater using a technique like the one I describe in How I Update My Mac OS X. 10.4.5 resolves a number of issues with earlier version of Mac OS X. Perhaps it will correct your current problem, too.
Unless you get the help you need here, if your problem still exists, and if you do not have ANY other problems with your Mac, I would suspect it is a problem related specifically to Microsoft Messenger for Mac. You should seek help for your Microsoft software from its Help or Readme files. If you cannot find help for your symptoms there, try at Microsoft for Mac Support.
You can also Google for Discussion forum for Microsoft Messenger for Mac. Perhaps the users who post at some forums dedicated to Microsoft Messenger for Mac can give you ideas.

  • Pop up asked me to download latest version, now disabled?

    A window popped up asking to download the latest version of firefox. Usually say no, not having time, but this time said yes. Operating system is Mac OS X 10.5.8 with 512 MB, which is recommended. However, got to the drag and drop into Apps part of the download and there's a big circle and slash through firefox and when I try to start firefox it says "You cannot open the application "Firefox because it is not supported on this architecture". Now when I go to firefox website, it says that the latest version is not supported by my operating system...? How do I fix this? Don't make me use Safari - it's too slow to deal with. Thank you!

    Sorry, PowerPC Macs aren't supported in Firefox 4 and later versions.
    For older Macs that aren't supported in Firefox 4.0 & 5.0, try TenFourFox for PowerPC's running Mac 10.4.11 & 10.5.8 . <br />
    http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox/
    Or use Firefox 3.6.x which is the last version from Mozilla for your configuration. <br />http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html

  • I downloaded itunes. I have bought music before, but want to listen to national radio broadcasts.  I hit go to itunes store, and it always ask me to download itunes again.  No matter how I try to reach it. grrgh??

    I have bought music before, but want to listen to national radio broadcasts.  I hit go to itunes store, and it always ask me to download itunes again.  No matter how I try to reach it. grrgh??

    You buy one and only one download.
    It is your responsibility to move/copy/backup your music.
    Certainly you did not update your ipod without making sure that you had transferred anything purchased on the ipod to your computer and included it in your regular backup copy of your computer.

  • It keeps asking me to download new version but takes me back to apple site like its from the beginning - will it erase my current itunes and contents?

    On opening my Itunes it asks if I want to download latest version - usually I say yes and away it goes, but lately it redirects me to the Apple site like I am downloading it for the first time and i am scared if I go through with it that it will create a new Itunes and my old one will be lost and all my songs - is this happening to anybody else - will it override your old itunes?? I don't understand why its changed?
    Please help, anybody!
    Thanks
    Liv-e

    All should be fine... but... just in case... have you considered backing up your iTunes Library Before doing any Update.../ Upgrade...
    Always a Good Idea to have a backup, especially of Music and Photos...
    See here...   Backup iTunes to an External Drive

  • Itunes wont start, computer says to download latest version 7.5

    iTunes wont start, solution computer gives it to download latest version 7.5. nut when i download it and install 7.5 on my computer, which i have done several times, it doesn't work and says i should download the latest update.....which i already have! is it Vista related, or is relating to version 7.5?....please help me!!

    I'll post the same thing I posted in another thread; it might help you. Reinstall itunes again according to my post. Some of the information is irrelevant to your problem, but hey, i'm kinda feeling lazy. You'll get the idea. Here it is.....
    "this is just a suggestion. If you reinstall itunes again, make sure you follow the directions in the support section of this site for uninstalling itunes and quicktime. Another thing they don't say in that article that I did when i had to uninstall itunes was to do a search. You know, pressing the start button and then "Search". Make sure when you do, click the search "All files and folders". Then set it to look in "Local Hard Drives (C:)" and type in the "all or part of the file name" itunes. After the search is done you should have a bunch of different itunes components in the results. Btw do the same for quicktime as a search. Make sure to DELETE every itunes and quicktime file there. If some of your music files happened to come up in the search use commone sense. Get rid of every component so itunes and quicktime is completely erased from the system. Make sure that you do this after you've restarted your computer once (according to the uninstallation article). Then just empty your recycle bin, reboot your computer, and finally reinstall itunes. Hopefully that will work to at least get rid of that APP error. Good luck and ask me anything you have some questions!!"
    Hope that works!

  • SPYBOT WILL NOT ALLOW YOUR LATEST FIREFOX4 ( MOZILLA FIREFOX DOWNLOAD LATEST VERSION WEB BROWSER

    THIS MORNING YOUR ADVERT FOR FIREFOX 4 APPEARED . I TRIED 3 TIMES TO DOWN LOAD YOUR MOZILLA FIREFOX DOWNLOAD LATEST VERSION WEB BROWSER > . EACH TIME SPYBOT SHOWED ENCOUNTERED & TERMINATED A PROCESS THAT IS LISTED AS PART OF A MALICIOUS SOFTWARE ) ( PUBLISHER PINBALL CORPORATION ) 9 IDENTIFIED AS PBHOTBAR . SEARCH ASSISTANT ) ( FOR OVER FIVE YEARS NOW I HAVE HAD INSTALLED SPYBOT & AVG > ( I HAVE NEVER HAD ANY DOWNLOAD PROBLEMS WITH YOUR PRODUCTS PLEASE ADVISE ??? )

    First, as a matter of etiquette, typing ALL CAPS on-line generally indicates that you are yelling at someone. Please use upper and lower case when posting. '''''Thanks'''''
    Your User-agent string indicates that you have the latest version, Firefox 4.0.1 installed; to see your User-agent string reported when you posted your question, click on "More system details..." to the right of your original post, scroll to the bottom of that display it shows:<br /><br />
    Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:2.0.1) Gecko/20100101 '''''<u>Firefox/4.0.1</u>'''''
    To check your version click the Firefox button > Help > About Firefox (or on the Menu Bar click Help > About Firefox) to see a display of your Firefox version. See: https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Finding+your+Firefox+version
    A little information about anti-virus/anti-spyware.
    First rule in using anti-virus/anti-spyware applications/programs: Never have more than one in active/real-time/on-access state checking everything as your are on-line. One can interfere with the other and the result can be less rather than more protection. Check your settings in Spybot and AVG and be sure that only one is set up for active/real-time/on-access scanning. If you have questions about how to check, go to the forums for Spybot and AVG and ask for assistance.
    Second rule. No single anti-virus/anti-spyware application is 100% correct, 100% of the time. Some virus-signatures can result in "false positives". However, using Google I found that Spybot and McAfee both added "PBHotbar.SearchAssistant" to their '''''<u>adware</u>''''' definitions on March 9, 2011. (See: https://computersavvy.wordpress.com/2011/03/09/new-spybot-%E2%80%93-search-destroy-definition-update-available-2011-03-09/ and http://www.nutnworks.com/forums/threads/33947-Re-McAfee-Updates ) There may be other firms that added a malware/virus definition for "PBHotbar.SearchAssistant" under another name. '''''<u>Adware</u>''''' is designed to track your on-line activities, in this case your search activity, for the purpose of delivery advertising on pages that you visit. Somewhat benign, but do you want someone silently tracking your internet activity? Your decision as to whether to keep that Add-on.

  • Lightroom (Subscription version) used to work OK, now it always asks to activate the trial version [was: hello,]

    Hello,

    Who knows the solution to work without error.
    Greetings, Gerard.

    I am seeing similar problems.. what used to work now does not... I tracked it down to system.log on my dad's computer below... someone is freeing too much memory. I hope this helps someone clue in on what is happening... I only see this error on my dad's side of he connection, mine is clear.
    It seems ludicrous that iChat is detecting that the bandwidth is 2577 up and down... I am on FIOS and he is on DSL

  • HT201210 After downloading latest version of iTunes it will not open.  This error message is displayed;  The program can't star because MSVCR80.dll is missing from your computer.  Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem.  Then a second error box

    After iTunes requested that I download latest version on PC it now will not open.  2 error messages appear.  first:  The program can't start because MSVCR80.dll is missing from your computer.  Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem.  second:  iTunes was not installed correctly please reinstall iTunes. Error 7 (Windows error 126).  I have tried reinstalling a number of times and restarting computer but no luck.

    This happened to me today as well post installing the latest version of itunes.   I did a search on google for the error and came across a recommendation to :
    Note: Start Windows in Safe Mode to complete any of the following steps if you're unable to access Windows normally due to the msvcr80.dll error.
    If, and only if, you're receiving the msvcr80.dll is missing error when you open Apple iTunes, do the following: (skip this step if your msvcr80.dll error is occurring with a different program)
    Uninstall from Windows the following five programs in this order: iTunes, Apple Software Update, Apple Mobile Device Support, Bonjour, and finally Apple Application Support. If you have iCloud, remove it as well.
    Uninstalling these programs in Windows is done from an applet in Control Panel called Programs & Features (in Windows 8, 7, or Vista) or Add or Remove Programs (in Windows XP).
    Note: Songs and playlists in iTunes will not be removed when you uninstall the iTunes program or any of the other, already-mentioned Apple programs. If you'd still like to back them up, they're usually located in the My Music folder in Windows.
    Download the latest version of iTunes from Appleand note the location you're saving it to so you can find it once it's done.
    Run the iTunes installation as an administrator. If you're not sure how to do that, see How Do I Open an Elevated Command Prompt? for help. That procedure shows you how to open the Command Prompt program as an administrator, but the steps are essentially the same for anything, including the iTunes installation package you just downloaded.
    A general overview of removing and reinstalling iTunes can also be found here on Apple's site but the above procedure seems to work better in this particular situation.

  • A few days ago my TV show and movie displays went whacky-the shows are no longer in alpha order, there are multiple listings of the same show, the pictures are random-including album covers.  I downloaded latest version.  Any ideas??

    A few days ago my TV show and movie displays went whacky-the shows are no longer in alpha order, there are multiple listings of the same show, the pictures are random-including album covers.  I downloaded latest version & no change.  Any ideas??

    ME TOO.
    I think mine are all still in alphabetical order, but :
    * movies I deleted from my library and told "hide this purchase in the cloud" are showing up again. If I try to play them, I get the "cannot find the file in its proper location, would you like to locate it" error message.
    * for movies that have "iTunes Extras," the extras show up as a separate item, with another copy of the movie artwork. Most of these I believe I had DELETED the "iTunes Extras" anyway.
    * Items are showing up multiple times.
    * A few MUSIC ALBUMS are listed in my Movies section.
    * Some movies (I believe ones that I deleted off my HD but are still in the cloud) are showing random album covers instead of their proper artwork.
    * Just rented a movie, and it didn't show up anywhere in my library. It downloaded properly and completely, was in a suitably labeled folder in my iTunes/Media/Movies section, but didn't show up in any section of the library (or via a library search). Had to manually find it and tell it to open the file using iTunes.
    Running the latest version, even checked for updates. No other changes made lately since the last round of apple software updates. This was wonky before the latest small update to iTunes - now it's even wonkier. And it is very, VERY effing annoying.
