  • Yahoo mail messenger won't work in FF, but will in IE. What gives?

    '''bold text''" Okay so what is the deal? I have Yahoo mail messenger working fine on FF one week, the next it won't even show me my received messages? Now it's working fine on IE but I hate using IE and would prefer to use that for one site only. Why isn't not compatible anymore with FF? I've already changed settings on Yahoo so it's not them. Please help?

    I posted this problem a couple of days ago. I have 50 or more groups, some with several hundreds of names & these groups no longer import. I have gone to apple genius bar & they are clueless. Apparently apple opted to make maverick work for gmail but now it won't work for mac mail.

  • Managed Account..MSN Messenger won't work

    I have 2 accounts, an admin and a managed user. MSN Mac Messenger works on the admin account, but i cannot get it to work on the managed account. I have the managed account set to Some Limits in Finder and System and i have checked the applications that user can use. MSN Messenger is there, but when i login to that manged user account, i click the application and it simply won't work. No message comes up, it just bounces in the dock waiting to go, but nothing ever happens.
    please help...thanks

    I don't know anything about "Messenger" specifically, but it probably relies on "helper" apps to perform at least some of its functions. In an extreme case, it could even be that the icon you click on has the sole purpose of launching other apps.
    A real example of the "helper" effect (I couldn't think of one off hand earlier) is Apple's "Image Capture.app". Allowing "Image Capture.app" isn't enough to let a "Some Limits" user download pictures from a digital camera (actually, this was true in 10.3 but I haven't checked 10.4), because when a camera is attached, "Image Capture.app" launches one of the many device class specific applications in "System" > "Library" > "Image Capture" > "Devices", which I'm guessing are needed to communicate with the camera. If "supporting programs" are allowed, then the "Camera.app" is allowed to be launched by "Image Capture.app", even if "Camera.app" itself isn't "approved" (and if users were to try to launch it directly themseves, they would be denied access). If "supporting applications" are not allowed, it is necessary for the "admin" to "approve" both applications individually.
    Allowing "supporting programs" then allows an "admin" to easily "approve" applications without the need to learn all of the inner workings of any given programme, and in fact, this was the default in "Panther" (with no GUI means to turn it off in fact). The drawback is that it creates a huge loophole whereby some apps (including standards that come with OS X) have features that allow them to be used to launch any other app on the system, rendering "user limitations" useless. There used to be lots of posts on this site complaining about this one, and the fact that there was no GUI way in OS X client to turn off the setting made it a real pain to deal with.
    So as with other matters of security, it becomes a trade-off between security and convenience. I suppose that as long as the restricted user doesn't discover the loophole, or the computer is in a location where the discovery of a loophole would be noticed, the current setup would probably be sufficient. If not, hopefully it won't be too hard to deteremine the identity of the helper apps so that "supporting programs" can be turned off and the "helpers" approved separately.

  • BB Messenger won't work without a Wi Fi connection

    Have noticed that I'm unable to send / receive messages unless I'm connected to a Wi Fi network.  I was in Singapore last week and the only way I could use messenger was to use my laptop as a hotspot using Connectify ad yes I did have data roaming enabled but I get exactly the same problem back here in Scotland, if I send a msg I get the 'pending' icon and nothing happens.  I have spoken to my service provider today (Vodafone UK) and they said all the required features are in place, the settings at their end look correct and that I should post something here.  This is really annoying as it's the main reason I bought a Blackberry!!
    many thanks in advance

  • Playbook Bridge Messenger Won't Work

    hi there,
    I've been using my Bridge BBM for a week now and it was not bad but last night it quit firing up. but i still the notifications for new messages on my playbook. what would be the possible cause of that?

    delete the BlueTooth Bridge profiles on both devices, update bridge app if not done already
    Then perform a Battery pull please, with the BlackBerry smartphone powered ON, remove the battery 15 seconds and then reinsert the battery to reboot device. This will clear all cache like rebooting a PC.
    on Playbook press power button and both Vol + - buttons for 10 seconds to reboot it.
    setup bridge again and see if it persists.

  • Satellite A300 - inbuilt Chicony webcam won't work with Win Live Messenger

    Hello
    I just bought a *Satellite A300-1MC* (runs on Vista Home Premium), and downloaded Windows Live Mail And Live Messenger.
    The inbuilt webcam won't work with Live Messenger ; and when selecting Tool, Audi + Vieo Setup in Messenger I get thye following message : "We are unable to run Audi Video setup".
    The webcam works fine with the Camera Assisant Software.
    I have tried : 1) killing the C.A. Software and starting Messenger ; 2) dowanloading a webcam driver from Toshiba website ; 3) Updating Windows Vista
    None of the above work.
    Any suggestion gladly received.....
    Thomas

    Hi,
    Many thanks for the advice.
    I have downloaded and installed ManyCam 2.3, then rebooted.
    The ManyCam software works fine, and picks up signal from the inbuild webcam.
    But Windows Live Messenger still doesn't pick up the camera. I can not start a Video call or go to" Video Audio setup".
    I have Windows Live Messenger version 14.0.8064 (installed on Tuesday).
    Funny enough, yahoo messenger works fine : it gets a signal from the webcam.
    Conclusion : i think it is Windows Live Messenger that doesn't work properly for some reason.
    I have ordered a new external webcam, in the meantime.

  • Facebook messenger won't start anymore.

    Facebook messenger won't start anymore on my iPad Air (iOS 8.1.3) after updating de Facebook App (v 23.0) on January 30. The blue circle keeps turning. What can I do?

    Hi jneelen,
    That is a bummer when the apps are not working. For most issues with apps that have been downloaded from the App Store, the troubleshooting article will work for most issues when they do not launch or crash on you.

  • Yahoo Messenger does not work in 1.4

    Several things fixed in 1.4 including clock speed but now my Yahoo messenger will not connect to server.  It just keeps trying to connect ("Signing In...')
    I also had several sms messages and a voicemail indication not come through until I recycled the phone.
    My camera and video camera do work though.

    I have the same issue on my phone and my wife's.  I doctored my phone and did a partial and a full erase and did no other configuration but go straight to Yahoo and add my messenger account and it just sits at signing in and nothing happens.  Over at precentral this is a common problem.  No matter what you do to the phone it won't work so it's not phone specific.  It's either a problem in the 1.4 code (although there are similar reports in 1.3.5) or a problem with Synergy.

  • Microsoft Messenger won't connect anymore?

    I've been using microsoft messenger for 9 months now perfectly fine, but today when I got home it says "im not connected to the internet or msn is busy and can't connect." I tried getting on my ipod and even that couldn't log on. I went and got my PC and tried using msn and it wouldn't long on there either. I had another friend log me on her computer and it said the same thing. What's wrong with my connection? I am connection to the internet just fine and same with ichat. It's only microsoft messenger that won't work. I tried uninstalled/reinstalling. I tried rebooting my computer. Idk what to do anymore. Please explain thouroughly if you have a solution, because I don't know much about mac settings. Thanks.

    Welcome to Discussions, itakeitwell
    This method of rebooting the modem and router works for me when I have connection trouble:
    (1) Power everything down.
    (2) Restart your modem, router and / or wireless access point (if you have them), and then your Mac in that order. Let the self test on each device complete before restarting the next.
    If you still have trouble after rebooting your system, contact your ISP and have them check your service.

    A friend gave me an iPad 1 last week. Messaging works one day and won't work the next. Any suggestions?

    Hi,
    I have the same problem. I've been trying everything; opening ports, adjusting quicktime streaming preferences...everything discussed in other posts in this forum regarding error -8.
    I really hate iChat...I think it's unbeliveble that Apple claims to be so better that Windows, but I never had problems wits MSN video.
    But let's try to solve this irritating issue. What kind of messenging software do you have instaled/open when you try to use iChat?
    I have Skype installed. When I deinstalled it, everything was working fine (so I thought). Next day the same BS all over again.
    I could use skype to videochat, but I have an .mac account and I want to use iChat...the f&^%$*g .mac account is to expensive not to use...And do not forget that iChat AV quality is way better than Skype.
    I really hope Apple comes with a solution soon.

  • HP LaserJet Pro C1415fn color MFP - fax won't work

    I have a LaserJet Pro CM1415fn color MFP on a Windows 7 64-bit laptop. I've been using the printer for two years now.
    At the moment the fax function only works if I use it manually (i.e. if I place a sheet of paper on the scanner, select the "Fax" button on the printer touch pad and dial the number). However, if I want to send a fax via the PC interface, it won't work.
    For example, if I open a PDF, click on "Print" and select "HP LaserJet Professional CM 1410 Series Fax", nothing happens -- no window/interface will open. If I select "HP Send Fax" or "HP Fax Setup Wizard" from the program menu, nothing happens.
    I've always been sending faxes this way and I just don't know what happened... Can anyone please help?
    Thanks in advance!

    Hi @Clabee ,
    I see that you can't fax from the PC anymore. I can help you with this.
    If this just recently happened, I would do a System Restore back to when everything was working properly.
    System Restore for Windows 7.
    If you would prefer not to do the System Restore, uninstall and reinstall the printer software. It might become corrupted.
    Here are the steps to run the uninstall from the computer or the CD.
    To uninstall from program files:
    Touch the Windows key and the E key to access the computer window.
    Select the C drive.
    Select program files or program files x86.
    Open the HP and printer name folder.
    Select uninstall.
    Uninstall the software from the CD:
    Touch the Windows key and the E key to access the computer window. Right click on the CD for the printer, left click open in a new window, double click on uninstall.
    Disable all the start up programs and temporarily turn off the Antivirus Software. How to use MSCONFIG .
    Click on the start up tab and click disable all.
    Download, save and install the latest drivers.
    HP LaserJet Pro CM1415fnw Color Multifunction Printer Drivers.
    Test the printer and try sending a fax again from the PC.
    Then you will need to go back in and enable the start up programs and turn the Antivirus Software back on again.
    If you need further assistance, just let me know.
    Have a wonderful day!
    Thank You.

  • I've just updated my iPhone to the new iPhone OS and now it won't work and iTunes won't recognise that it's there.  I've uninstalled iTunes and reinstalled twice and it's not working.  Please help.

    I've just updated my iPhone to the new iPhone OS and now it won't work and iTunes won't recognise that it's there.  I've uninstalled iTunes and reinstalled twice and it's not working.  Please help.

    I have not had wifi since November when I upgraded to the newest IOS version.  I called the Apple help line and they told me some things to do and I tried them all and they worked for a few hours and then wifi shut off again.  I kept doing what they told me and it worked for a couple more days and then I could never turn it on again.  My blue tooth doesn't work either.  I had to actually increase my data usage with AT&T becuase of this.  When I did that in December I went to the Apple store and was told that it is a hardware issue and since my phone is out of warranty I would have to pay for a new phone because they could not fix the issue.  My upgrade isn't up until June 2014 so not only do I have to wait for the upgrade and I am not paying for a new phone but I have to pay $10 plus extra a month on my cell phone bill because I was going over on my Data!!!  I have been beyond upset about this and Apple is not doing anything about this nor did they offer up some way to resolve the issue because obviously it is not just some rare incident if several people are having this issue.  Who knows how many people out there have had this issue and have not said anything about it.  Now there is a newer update that I can't do because it requires wifi in order to download.
    June can not get here fast enough and I may not go back to Iphone after dealing with this for so long with no help from Apple.
