Hi Missy,
You've reached the AppleWorks forum, a space for discussion of issues and 'how tos' concerning the Apple productivity application AppleWorks, not a forum for the general topic of 'how Apple computers work.'
As your issue concerns MSN Messenger, a Microsoft product, you'll have a better chance of finding a solution in a forum (or 'newsgroup'—the term MS uses) for MSN Messenger at Microsoft's Mactopia site. The link will take you to the Messenger page at MS. There's are articles about Messenger and links to downloads. The Community link on the left will take you to the Newsgroups, one of which deals with Messenger:Mac. There's no newsgroup listed for MSN Messenger through.
As your issue may also include the interaction between Messenger and the Mac OS, you might try posting in the Apple Discussions forum for the version of the OS you are using, but I'd check out the MS newsgroups first.
Regards,
Barry

    I am on a Windows 7 OS attempting to reduce pdf size with my Adobe Acrobat Standard XI & Pro.  The application keeps timing out and  at the Subsetting embedded fonts portion and the application gives "Adobe Acrobat has stopped working" and then closes.  The document is 275 pages.  Is there something I can do to stop this?

    Hi Ricci,
    Since when are you facing this issue? Did you tried system restore to a date before this problem occured.
    Does acrobat stop working when you open this specific pdf file or with any pdf file that you open?

  • My itunes stops working everytime i plug up my phone and it tries to sync and then closes. Help!!

    Everytime I plug in my iphone 3gs and my itunes tries to sync itunes stops working and shuts down. I tried to uninstall and reinstall but it didnt work. Can anyone help?

    Are you seeing any error messages?
    Check this thread out -> itunes has stopped working...here are the problem reports:
    Try unchecking the Include videos option in iTunes, under Photos. You'll click the iPhone on the left side of iTunes, then click Photos across the top of iTunes to see the option.
    If you still want to sync the videos, you can add them to iTunes as movies and then sync them. You may have to right click and convert the videos in iTunes before syncing to the iPad (depending on how the videos were created).

  • HT5622 I made a new Apple ID and everything has been changed and then I am trying to update candy crush and it is asking me for an old apple  ID and  this hasn't happened before

    I made a new Apple ID and everything has been changed and then I am trying to update candy crush and it is asking me for an old apple  ID and  this hasn't happened before

    Games and media are forever tied to the AppleID used to download them.
    Either log in under the old ID to update Candy Crush or delete the game and
    then download it under the new ID. All in-app purchases and progress will be lost.
    Why did you make a new AppleID, if I may ask?

    The 2 places I’ve seen recommended most to buy reliable RAM are below. I have purchased RAM several times from Other World Computing and have always been very satisfied with the product and service. They have on-line instructions on how to replace the RAM. OWC has also tested RAM above what Apple states is the maximum. I now have 6GB installed on a early 2008 iMac supposedly limited to 4 GB and noticed an improvement.

  • I want to convert a series of names into a table (in either numbers or pages). The list I have has a name and then an email address in brackets, followed by a 'yes' or a 'no'. I would like to separate the list into three columns

    I want to convert a series of names into a table (in either numbers or pages). The list I have has a name and then an email address in brackets, followed by a 'yes' or a 'no'. I would like to separate the list into three columns - the first containing the name, the second containing the email address and the third containing the 'yes' or 'no'.
    Can you help me ?

    The question that needs to be answered is what is separating the columns? Is it a single tab, one or more tabs, spaces, or what?  Or is it the brackets that makes the separation between the three pieces of data?
    If it is always a single tab, that makes it really easy.  All you have to do is find/replace the brackets with nothing (as Wayne said)
    If it might be multiple tabs, you can find/replace tab-tab with a single tab and repeat that a few times until no more double-tabs are found.
    If it is one or multiple spaces, that might be difficult. I'll think about this one if this is what you have. I'll ignore this possiblility for now.
    If it is the brackets separating the three pieces of data, you would Find/Replace the left bracket with a tab then do the same with the right bracket.

  • Photoshop CS 5 crashes after updating and then using File -- Automate -- Batch

    I am running Photoshop CS5 (build 12.0.4 x32) on my XP 32-bit machine and have done so without major problems until about a week ago.
    Then all of a sudden when accessing File --> Automate --> Batch the program crashes and I have to force it shutting down manually after which I can restart Photoshop. When trying to access the batch command hereafter the same crash reappears rendering batch commands useless.
    I thought about posting here but then decided to reinstall Photoshop again. This enables the fully working software including batch commands once again. However after a short while the update software asks to download and install some patches for all programs. After doing so the same problem happens again in regards to the batch command. Photoshop crashes when accessing it and won't work at all.
    I now repeated this procedure twice and have no idea what to do about it.
    Is there anybody that has had this experience or knows about a solution?
    Do I have to contact Adobe with an error report?
    Any help and comment is welcome and mostly appreciated.

    Yes, a change in the Adobe update made the existing scanner bug show up more frequently.   No, that does not make your statement correct. The bug exists in the scanner driver, and existed before the Adobe update.
    The Adobe update is not the cause of the bug, it just made some unrelated change that made the bug appear more frequently.  That could be something as simple as putting different values in different locations of memory.  We don't know. Only the authors of the scanner driver can know for sure why it is crashing more often now.
    Photoshop supports the TWAIN standard, but cannot be responsible for the bugs in the third party drivers that attempt to implement that standard.
    The high frequency of bugs in TWAIN drivers is what made us move the TWAIN plugin to "optional" status in the first place -- because too many people were crashing, had a hard time figuring out the cause, and blamed Adobe for something completely beyond our control.
    And we already do inform scanner vendors about all the bugs we find in their drivers. But we cannot force them to fix their bugs, nor can we know the nature of all of their bugs to code around them.
    I understand that you're angry.  But please stop trying to blame an innocent bystander.
    Adobe cannot do anything to fix the bugs in your scanner driver. Only the authors of your scanner driver can fix the bugs in your scanner driver.
    Until they provide an update to fix the bugs in the driver, your choices are to keep crashing, or not use that buggy scanner driver.
    I am going to make this short.
    It depends on how you look at it. From your angle, Adobe did their's and the scanner companies are to blame for their buggy software. What you are saying here would be - if compared - resemble a situation where you would go to a car dealer, buy a car, then drive away just to find that the trailer tow hitch you attached your old trailer to would keep falling off all the time. When confronting the dealer about the issue he would reply to you that you have to talk to the manufacturer of the trailer because the problem is their responsibility. How would you as a client react...?
    Maybe it is true that the driver software is buggy. However it still did work though under other conditions before this update. That means that you updated something that made these things appear frequently. Maybe you don't know and only they do. Fair enough. But us customers don't have to work these problems out or live with them nor do we have to use our time on posting and fixing companies' errors and mistakes. That's what we pay you for. We only need to use this application hassle free on the spot. Maybe you should start crash testing in an controlled environment before you apply these updates and then post them. Or make a deal with those companies to do so for you. Maybe they will then ignore you or won't tell you about possible bugs to hike their own skin. Fair enough as well. Create some sort of program, a label or whatever that you apply and hand out only to those companies that are "certified by and working with Adobe software" and that they can put on their products or you on your very own Adobe website for all us customers to see and to use as a type of guidance in order to have working hardware and applications and avoid these errors.
    There is this saying that goes...
    "Where there's a will, there's a way"...!

  • When i try to open week cal it loads and then closes after a few seconds...I have checked for updates, turned the phone off then on, closed out of the app and then opened it again...nothing works!  Any suggestions?

    When i try to open week cal it loads and then closes after a few seconds...I have checked for updates, turned the phone off then on, closed out of the app and then opened it again...nothing works!  I have thought about deleting the app from my phone and then reloading it again but I worry that it will delete all my calendar info???  Any suggestions?

    To reset, press and hold the Home and power buttons until the silver apple appears.
    I would delete the app, reset the phone and then download the app again. Your calendar information should be stored on the phone as Week Cal uses the Calendar app information.
    Best of luck.
