Hi,
Yes.
The Mac version that is currently available as a download of MSN Messenger does not do Video chats though.
There is a beta of version 8 that is supposed to that you can access on the Microsoft site. (reports in the Comments on the page are mixed).

The cheap & easy way is to just drag the app to the Trash.
If you want to get all of the associated files use an app deleting app like the free AppCleaner;

Just drag an app and drop it on the AppCleaner icon in the Dock and it will find and present to you all the files it thinks are associated with the app. You can uncheck any that you want to keep and then let AppCleaner Trash the rest.

Microsoft msn problem on macbook pro.

Im having problem signing into corporate account.
1)do i have to have a create a corporate account? or can i just use personal account email and password for corporate account? If i have to create a corporate account, how can i do it?
2)If i can use my personal account to sign into corporate account, i have tried but i still cant sign in with the help of the troubleshoot.( i dont understand about the user ID part, i dont know what should i type in there.)
I would like to know how can corporate account be used. Reason being personal account, what i'm using currently cannot provide me with video calls.
Does anyone know any solutions to my problem? If yes, please help.
Your reply is greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

do i have to have a create a corporate account?
No. You may use the personal account for accessing the MSN network for chatting. Corporate accounts are more for collaboration using Exchange, to my knowledge. I have never used a corporate account with MSN.
can i just use personal account email and password for corporate account?
No, you cannot. I'm not aware of how to use the corporate account system in MSN. I just use personal.
If i have to create a corporate account, how can i do it?
You don't have to create a corporate account. The personal account will work just fine for chatting purposes.
If i can use my personal account to sign into corporate account, i have tried
You can't use the personal account to sign into corporate. An "Office Communications Server" is required for a corporate account. My guess is that a company that wishes to use MSN Messenger for corporate communications must first implement an "Office Communications Server" and then implement MSN Messenger clients on each of the workstations in that company. Then, individual employee User IDs would be assigned that would allow the MSN client app (on your Mac) to connect to the "Office Communications Server". In short, you require a large company (lots of $$$ for an "Office Communications Server" I would wager) and the associated IT support to implement corporate MSN accounts.
Reason being personal account, what i'm using currently cannot provide me with video calls.
Microsoft has not yet implemented video conferencing in the personal accounts of MSN Messenger. They state that they are working on this for the next release, which was due out in beta form sometime in 2009. But 2009 is rapidly coming to a close. They also state that the next version of Office will be released in time for holiday season 2010. Perhaps an updated version of Messenger will be released at that time, or before.
If you are looking for video support for MSN chatting on Mac, try aMSN. It is an open-source MSN clone that has these features (as well as many of the other Windows-only features) currently.

Additionally, you could try to convince the people you are chatting with to change to something more compatible across platforms, like Skype.

How do I get MSN messenger to work on my MacBook Pro.

I want to use MSN Messenger on my MacBook Pro. All my friends use PCs and can chat easily, transfer files and can use the camera too. I can't do any of that. Hope someone can help.

I have it on my mac from the latest Office for mac. It even updated after it was installed. My issue is that when I try to log in to my accont, it tries and then logs straight back out.
Any ideas on what's wrong?

Macbook Pro built-in iSight in Adium and MSN Messenger?

All of my contacts (about 100 or so) have MSN messenger accounts. Is there a way for me to use my built-in iSight as a webcam in Adium or MSN Messenger? It just seems pointless otherwise since I only know 2 or 3 other people with .mac or AIM accounts that I could chat to via iChat.
Thanks

Hi Statts,
Welcome To The Apple Discussion Pages.
You will need aMSN to Video over the MSN service.

Acrobat connect pro Vs msn messenger

Hi,
I am making business plan an online digital teaching school. I wanted to center my virtual classroom tools around acrobat connect pro.
Someone i hired for advises just told me that msn messenger can do most of what acrobat connect does (pertaining to virtual classroom):
voip, whiteboarding, file sharing, screen sharing, screen controlling, application sharing, etc.
On top of that msn messenger is free.
Do you think that his analysis lacks something? I mean it looks a bit beautiful to have all these for free while i would normally pay acrobat connect
45$/month/host !! If i can remove 540$/year on my business plan iam surely excited to do, but i need to be cautious and ask what would i miss? What kind of pitfalls to anticipate if i switch msn for connect on my business plan?
Simply put how would you compare connect pro to msn messenger, why would connect pro be a best suited tool for my virtual class then msn?
Thank you for your inputs as they will help me make a better business choice.

I'm having a similar issue with my iMac. I was connecting fine to all microsoft services, and suddenly, with no change to the mac (that I'm aware of,) I can't connect. The problem extends beyond adium though. I cannot connect to hotmail, or login.live.com either. I just get network timeouts. It has nothing to do with my router, or dns, as my girlfriends macbook are setup on the same wireless router, with the same dns, and she can connect fine.
Things were even stranger with I thought to try a web-based proxy to connect to hotmail, with success.
It almost seems like my iMac has ports firewalled, even though it is turned off. Do you have a similar experience?

Is there a reason that Skype quit workin on my macbook pro in the last week? Microsoft went their messenger to it, so is there something there?

I have a macbook pro, in the last week, i have lost the use of skype. is there a reason? has it something to do with Microsoft setting their msn up there?

Well, running on a 2006 model. I did not have a startup disc. Initially, it booted up on original software in 2006. Since then, I've upgraded to 10.6 via a box set. And, since then I think I popped it up to lion.
All I have on a disc is snow leopard. And, I can't get farther than the setup screen due to hard drive. I'm taking to a apple authorized repair store right now. We'll see what they tell me . I'm just going to weigh the cost of repair vs. buying new.
Another bad, stupid thing is I had no means of backing up my stuff. So, I might have lost things like music, vids, etc. we'll see if they can recover. If the cost is too much for repair I might just forget it and start over with a new system. Just not sure at this point.

Satellite Pro M30 Win 7 - webcam does not work on msn messenger

Hi all
I have a Satellite Pro M30 Modell Nr.: PSM35E and have just changed to Windows 7. But the Nvidia Card NVIDIA GeForceTM FX Go5200 Grafik mit 64 MB RAM does not work properly.
I could find a driver from Vista and installed it, have Aero pics on the desktop, but my webcam does not work on msn messenger and this is the only way for me to see my family.
Can someone help me?
Thanks for your help

Hi
Im a little bit confused; do you have some problems with the graphic card or with the webcam?
I assume you are speaking about external webcam connected to the USB port? Right?
What happens if you connect the webcam to the notebook? Can Win 7 recognize the connected device? Did you install additional drivers for this webcam?
In most cases its necessary to do that because I think its not plug & play device.

Note please that this is intended solely for OTA synchronization between your BB and your server...what happens between your server and your MAC is completely a separate matter. On the other hand, if you truly meant to ask about USB sync via LINK, then that's yet another separate matter.
Good luck!

MSN Messenger, Camino unexpectedly quit on new MacBook 10.4.6

Has anyone else had problems of this nature:
Brand new MacBook (3 days out of the box), installed various apps including MSN Messenger 5.1.1 (I know this isn't Universal...but it worked for 2 days no problem...and Adium still works fine...!) and Camino (Universal).
All worked fine until today when Messenger stopped opening from the dock OR direct from the apps folder. Error message simply says 'the application unexpectedly quit and has had to close'. Trying to reopen brings the same error message. Deleting the program from apps to Trash usually results in '... cannot be deleted because it is in use' although I've been able to eventually delete completely, reinstall, and still no joy.
I thought it was just MSN being rubbish but Camino has started doing it too. The only way I've got around it so far is to force Camino to open via Rosetta - hardly ideal.
Anyone else? Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.
(Have also tried usual verifying/repairing disk permissions)
MacBook 1.8GHz Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Hi taylz,
I've not bothered with MSN for my MacBook because as you identified it's not universal yet. I use Adium like you on it and find it a good substitue for MSN.
I have Camino on the iMac and it works fine, I'll try downloading it for the MacBook and see what experiences I have. It could conflicting with other software on your MacBook.
The best thing in my opinion is to contact the Apple store in Birmingham and see if they can offer you any help.
Hope you get it sorted soon.

Msn messenger sent out a unknown link from my macbook to everyone on list ?

Hi all
I just purchase my macbook last week. Lots of my friend told me that they got a unknown link from my mssenger, and told me I might got virus.
There's nothing wrong showing on my mac. but I am really worried.
Is that a virus? what should I do to make sure there's no virus in my mac to steal my infomation..etc.
and will that unknown link hurt my friend's PC?
thank you so much for helping.
I am still need to learn. totally idiot when it relate to computer world.
_<" Please help</div>

I think it's sort of spyware or adware, where it seems to take over ur comp, I had this when i was using msn messenger on windows, but wow now u have this on ur mac, try using different IM software, like Adium, aMsn, see whether the problem is still happening. Yes, It can affect ur friends who receive and install the software given in the message but if they just receive the message and close it, i think it wouldn't be a problem to them.
Hey Google is ur friend

Need a Leather Messenger bag for 17" Macbook Pro .. any suggestions?

Need a Leather Messenger bag for 17" Macbook Pro .. any suggestions?
I cant seem to find a nice one .. I am traveling soon and would like to have it before I go away ....
I would like something with some protection and ... something stylish ...
I have had a hard time finding a nice one ...

There is a difference technically between this iStorage unit and the Cal Digit stuff. Cal Digit includes a hardware raid controller, and removable drives. The iStorage Pro unit relies on your computer's CPU to control the raid... so will tax things like render times... plus just to play a software raid can take as much as 30% of your CPU's cycles to do it...
That said, it may not matter if you're working in lower resolution files, or lower data rate stuff, either company makes great gear though. Both are intended for use with video systems. But ya do get something for the extra money on the CalDigit gear.
But if all you want to use it for is backup of data... anybody's drives would do this... doesn't have to be a raid either. Single FW drives will certainly hold the data as backup even if they won't play it without dropping frames.
