MSN Messenger and Yahoo download problems

I am new to Macs so I hope this questiong isnt rediculous... I have tried to download MSN messenger and Yahoo messenger and both of them will download to my computer but when I open them they appear on the dock for a second and then dissapear without opening. I am using operating system 10.3.9 and I was under the understanding that was the minimum requirement so I dont understand why this isnt working. I also made sure that I have read and write permission. Any idea...I also seem to have a french keyboard and can’t figure out how to use my question mark...it keeps coming up like this: é or É

Everything is fine except MSN Messenger and Torrentapps

I really don't know what has happened, but since two or three days I can't login to MSN Messenger, nor do any filetransfer work in any Torrent-application. What is wrong? I have tried to shut the firewall on and off, without any result.
I assume I have accidently messed up something in the network settings(?). I can surf the web and everything is working excellent, except for for the above. Very annoying indeed! I use the Airport with a Netgear router.
Can I restore my network settings to the original setting?
Could it be something with the portforwarding (whatever that is)?
P.S The mother of all annoying things are that MSN Messenger and uTorrent works fine while running in Parallels

Edit: Torrent does not work in Parallel...

Error in itunes store, msn messenger, and software update

hello, i seem to have a problem since someone changed my proxies settings for the internet. My internet browser works just fine and I can download stuff from the internet. But, neither Msn Messenger, nor iTunes store, nor Software Update are able to make a connection and work properly. I need help,how can I make them work??
Thanks.

I too am having a problem. It seems to have started after the last Software Update to my MBP.
Although I am connected to the internet, my MSN Messenger for Mac won't connect.
I get a message saying "Sign in to MS Messenger failed, because the service is not available, or you are not connected to the internet".
I have checked that the service is available,(it is) and I am connected to the internet.
The funny thing is, after failing to connect with my MBP, I tried my iMac, and that too wouldn't connect.
When I tried the iMac again this morning, it was OK, but as soon as I try the MBP, the problem appears again, and then the iMac won't connect either.
Any ideas anyone?

*N96* MSN Messenger and live mobile on N96

can anyone help me.
i upgraded from the n95 to the n96 and i am on the three network where i get free access to msn messenger but no i have the N96 the software is not on it and it is not available for me to download yet. does anyone know if and when it will be available to download or if not why not as it was i feature i used so much on my old phone?

Hi there, I had exactly the same problem.
I have the same phone and also on the Three network.
I managed to track down an older version of the app to use, but im not sure if it will be regarded as having "free" use by Three and your need the internet addon to save cash.
Got a download link here for you.

Msn messenger and 10.5.2 unable to login

Hi, I have this problem with two macs (macmini and macbook intel), both with same version 10.5.2 (and same problem since 10.5.2).
microsoft messsenger (msn) is unable to login (same apply to adium or any other if try to connect to messenger.hotmail.com 1863).
Firewall is disable. You get in the messenger log

I run a TCP dump and you can see the packages go out to the router but you don't get an ACK status, only RST packets return.
Friends not using Leopard is not having problems with the same version of messenger 7.0 (and earliers).
Problem persists even if in other network (macbook connected to different networks and wireless) so problem is not in the router or ISP.
Is there anything that leopard might be blocking (or broke)..., running "dscacheutil -flushcache" doesn't help and nothing is blocking connections to that port as well as DNS is resolving fine to the right IP for messenger.hotmail.com.
Any one can give me a hint what could I try (without re-installing leopard)?
Any new ideas I could try to resolve the problem?
Thanks in advance

Hi I have similar problems.
When connected to my home network Messenger 6.3 and 7.0 connect fine using both the Wifi and the Ethernet port.
However when connected to the office network the connection times out.
Moreover I also use Jbuddy messenger Pro, same problem works at home doen't work at the office.
At the office a pac file is used for the proxy settings.
When connect to the office network using Parallels (Windows XP) and MSN Messenger 4.7 in XP connection is ok.

MSN Messenger and Address Book don't work in one account

I recently succumbed to pressure from my daughter to set up MSN Messenger for her, but couldn't make it work in her account. A window appeared for reporting the problem to Microsoft, and when I looked in More Information, it seemed to be something to do with Address Book. Crashed Module Name and Blame Module Name both said Address Book. When I tried opening Address Book separately, the Menu bar appeared but trying to click on anything just resulted in the revolving beach ball. There are five accounts on our iMac, and in all the others, both Messenger and Address Book open fine. Does this require drastic action, like deleting my daughter's account and setting up a new one? Or are there any preferences that could be trashed to sort it out? She has also reported problems with Safari, but I haven't checked that one out.

ProwessLegacy,
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Based on your description, if you refuse to reinstall the system again, may I suggest an Archive and Install as an alternative. It can preserve user and network settings with minimal disruption to your current installation.
You will have to reapply subsequent updates but it will be less of hassle than digging around for replacements for unknown missing components.

Msn messenger and vdeo chat

hello,i have installed the msn messenger 4.0 but i can't use my video.
Are there solutions for this problem?
thnks,David.

MSN Messenger and camera.

So, I noticed you can't web cam chat using msn messenger on a mac.
Are there any alternatives similar to MSN where you can while still keeping your MSN contact list?
I tried using 'aMSN' and that didn't work either.
Thanks a lot!

Hi Alanna.
There's really no good MSN solutions out there for Mac OS X (yet) if you are planning to use the video-conference functionality. If you just want basic MSN functonality I would recommend trying out Adium (www.adium.com).
If you are on an Intel based Mac, you could try running MSN Live Messenger from Windows XP running in e.g. Parallels or VMWare Fusion (which let you run Windows on top of Mac OS X on Intel-based macs). You should probably have at least 2 GB RAM though...
Another option you might have is Skype (though your "buddies" would need to use that too).

NOKIA 6630 MSN MESSENGER and 3 network

Hello

FireFox and Yahoo email problems - specific FireFox problem.

- FireFox often does not list attachments properly if at all thus cannot be downloaded. This problem does not exist when using Safari or the Windows Firefox. Yahoo Inbox shows that the email has an attachment, but when the email is opened,
- The listing of emails in the 'Inbox' does not have either a page number or scroll bar. This problem does not exist with Safari or the Windows FireFox (accessed via Windows via Parallels.)
- Sometimes the 'Inbox' mail items do not display at all despite clicking on the icon. This sometimes happens with the other folder icons such as Sent. Logging out & back in seems to fix it.
- Sometimes I log into Yahoo Mail & all my custom folders are missing. Again, this problem only occurs with the OSX FireFox version. Unless I click on Folders. But this is a little inconvenient as I have some mail deliberately sent to specific custom folders & will not know if there is any new mail in such folders unless I click on folders. Folders should show below the inbox, be open & not cover over the inbox icon.
I updated FireFox a month ago which temporarily fixed these problems but the problems have been back for the past couple of weeks.
FireFox 24.0
MacOSX 10.6.8, MacPro 2008

I've discovered the problem is mostly Yahoo! 7's new design. Going to Options and switching to Basic view helped for some issues such as folders and attachments. At this point problems seem to have gone. I'd recommend this for anybody else having a similar issue. And do NOT click on the 'Switch to the newest Yahoo!7 Mail' link! :D

I can't receive any notifications alerts from Facebook, facebook messenger and any downloaded application on my iphone 4 please help!!!

Hello there:
I have this problem since I bought the iphone from a coworker (came as factory unlocked and jailbroken) And the push notifications is not working with any application downloaded, for example: facebook, facebook messenger, whatsapp, etc.
I removed the jailbreak and restore to the official iOS 6.1.3, but I have don't have results, please i need help!
Now I upgraded to iOS 7 but the problem remains.
I don't know what can do now
Greetings.

Amigos, soy Chileno y buscando eh encontrado la solucion por lo menos en mi caso para el problema de notificaciones para el 5s.
Lo que debemos hacer primero es ir a la aplicacion de Facebook en el celular, entrar a configuracion de la cuenta/ luego a privacidad/ luego a sesiones activas ( en mi caso tenia 12 sesiones activas). Le di cerrar a todas las sesiones y deje solo la que funcionaba en mi Iphone 5s con ios 7. Luego de eso sali de la configuracion y desactive mi cuenta de facebook. Espere 2 minutos y volvi a activarla introduciendo mi usuario y contraseña en la misma aplicacion lo que provoco la reactivacion de mi facebook y ahora...
La aplicacion de facebook aparecio automaticamente en el centro de notificaciones ! recibo todas las notificaciones de esta y la puedo configurar con tiras, globos, etc.
Me despido, esperando que esta solucion les sirva y porfavor comenten si fue util mi explicacion o si falta algo !

Firefox and PDF download problems -- hanging and failures

I am working in Windows XP and Firefox 12.0.
We post our multi-page newsletter to our website in PDF, and then use a list to send a link to access it. When attempting to download using Firefox, the document will download all or part of the first page, and then hang -- sometimes in perpetuity, and sometimes with infinitesimally slow progress.
It works just fine in Google Chrome.
I tried disabling all of my plug-ins, including Adobe Acrobat (9.5.1.283). I left them all disabled, but re-enabled Adobe. No joy.
I disabled Adobe and tried a straight-up download, then open with my local reader. No joy.
What is going on, and how can I fix it?
My Acrobat 9 Standard is 9.5.1 that I'm using to create the document in the first place.
What can I do to fix MY system to get it to download and, more importantly, what information can I give our members to use so that they can successfully download it?

I personally open PDFs in the stand-alone Adobe Reader rather than in the browser, but everyone has their own preference.
Have you experimented with Firefox's application tab settings?
orange Firefox button ''or'' classic Tools menu > Options > Applications
In the search box on that tab, type pdf and pause for the list to be filtered. You should be able to toggle between viewing the PDF in the browser or launching it externally. I have mine set to "Always Ask."
Generally speaking, when you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
1. Clear Firefox's Cache
orange Firefox button ''or'' Tools menu > Options > Advanced
On the Network mini-tab > Offline Storage : "Clear Now"
2. If needed, delete the site's cookies here
While viewing a page on the site, right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
If you host the PDFs on a site you can't actually visit, access the View Cookies dialog from this page and change the host name at the top of the box to the correct host name to access the relevant cookies.
Then try downloading again. Does that help?

IPS License and Signature Download Problem

Equipment list:
SSM-40-(AIP-SSM)
Problem statement:
-License file downloaded & activated on IPS
-Unable to download IPS signature file manually using CCO Account.
Question :
What is the correct way to bind a CCO account to obtain access privilege; inorder to download IPS signature files? On hand: i have the service contract number.
From my understanding:
# Access CCO Account-Profile Manager
# Go to - Additional Access
# Go to -Obtain access to additional service contract(s)
# Input Service Contract Number : xxxxxxx
Please advise, if this is accurate.
Thanks

hi there, thank you for your reply.
The license has already been applied to my sensor. I have a requirement to download signatures manually and upload to the sensor.
Right now, i am not able to download the signatures manually off Cisco. Due to the privilege limitation of my CCO account. How can i gain that privilege to download signature files?

Pull-DP and BITS Download Problem

Hi,
We have a ConfigMgr 2012 SP1 primary site, a remote Pull-DP and a remote DP with MP in untrusted forest, working on Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1.
DP replication works well if I use primary site server as a source but it doesn't work if I use remote untrusted DP as Pull-DP source. I've read that it supported scenario to use untrusted DP as a source DP.
Here is an error that I came accross and the troubleshooting steps I've tried:
When I run "bitsadmin /list /allusers" command it shows "TRANSIENT_ERROR"

Since no one has answer this post, I recommend opening a support case with CSS as they can work with you to solve this problem.

ITunes Plus and Cloud Download Problem

Having some significant problems with iTunes today. It all started when I decided to pull the trigger on the iTunes plus upgrade of all my music that had been purchased prior to the change to DRM-free music on iTunes. Given the unusual amount of the charge, my credit company declined it and called me. I told them it was me trying to make the charge, so they cleared the security freeze. Shortly thereafter, I got an e-mail from Apple stating there was a problem with my payment method and gave me a link to click on to review my payment information. I updated the payment information, entering the same credit card information and figured I was good to go.
Now, I seem to have two problems. One, when I click on the iTunes plus upgrade in the iTunes store, it says my upgrade is processing and I will receive an e-mail once it is ready - seems odd, because the e-mail I got when the credit card was declined said I would need to do the iTunes plus upgrade again.
The other problem I am having, which, in my opinion is way more significant, is that I cannot download any of my previously purchased songs from the cloud in iTunes, on my iPad 2, or on my iPhone 4S. When I try to downloan something, I get an error stating that the song cannot be downloaded because it was not purchased with my Apple ID. I have only ever had one Apple ID, so this doesn't make any sense to me at all.
I e-mailed iTunes support and tried to explain this, so maybe they will be able to help, but if anyone has any suggestions, I would greatly appreciate it.

When you upgrade your songs to Plus in iTunes, it doesn't download them. Instead, they do some behind the scenes processing and tell you that they will send you an email when the music is ready to be downloaded. Among other things, the behind the scenes processing is that they embed your name and some other info into each song so that it can be traced who spread some music around should it start showing up in p2p services and the like.
You get an email later saying your music is ready, and that email contains a link to a WebObjects object on the Apple site. I'm too old to bring up a local sniffing proxy to watch the traffic pass back and forth, but they're most likely expecting that iTunes has registered itself to handle some document or MIME type with the browser, and the response from the WebObjects URL contains that magic type, which the browser is then supposed to hand over to iTunes. iTunes sees that certain something in the response, and then starts downloading your easter egged music and replacing the old music with the new.
Life is good, the customer is happily jamming to 256kbps instead of that lousy 128kbps, and all us law abiding citizens never even think of looking inside the newly downloaded files to find our names buried within them. And, because the web is so ubiquitous, most of us never know why clicking on that email brought up a browser window for a brief period of time before iTunes did our bidding.
