No contact with MSN Live...

Hi,
Since I updated my MSN Messenger client to the latest available version I have not been able to log in to my MSN Live/hotmail account with ANY application on my mac... Not even with Firefox.
In Windows XP I can access my Live/Hotmail account just fine.
I have tried to search the net but I could only get hints like "clear out all your cookies" and such. These
hints has unfortunately not helped in my case.
Anyone who can help me with this, please!?
Thanks!
johan

I haven't jumped to any conclusions about anyone. But FYI: MAC is a typical newbie term and it doesn't refer to a Macintosh. MAC is an acronym for something completely different. Mac is the registered trademark, and it's never in all caps.
If the problem lies with Microsoft's service or with my OSX does not really make much difference in my log-in success or lack there of, now does it?
Actually, it makes all the difference. Microsoft likes to make it difficult or impossible for anyone but Windoze users to use any service of theirs; the evidence (and felony antitrust convictions) are proof of that.
I tried logging in to Hotmail with Safari, Firefox 3.x and Camino 1.6+ and had no problem just a few minutes ago. According to MS, Messenger for Mac 7 is for corporate users who are running Office Communications Server 2007, so if you're trying to send messages to co-workers and your company isn't running that server software, that would probably explain why it doesn't work, although if you've used it before and it worked, that would be very odd. Have you used Messenger before to send these messages, or did you just recently download it and try to use it?

Nokia Lumia 800 device Contact Sync with MSN Live

How does the sync from device to MSN live work in the Nokia Lumia phone?
If you purchase a Nokia Lumia, and the dealer synchs your old mobile phone contacts to Nokia Lumia using the contact transfer. In this process you have lots of stale contact which you don't want to retain. Now Lumia doesn't have pc connectivity software like earlier PC Suite or Ovi suite. these were the wonderful piece of sw, and you could update your contact, store on the outlook, and transfer then to and from the device.
But with Lumia you are at fix now. the only way currently appears to be deleting one by one from device.
There is a MSN account, and if you have a data connectivity then you can synch your contacts to your live account. Now you have the backup of the contacts in the server, which fortunately can be imported and exported from/to and excel.
I thought of using this for the bulk update of contacts, and the technical support team says, that if you delete the contact from the server, while switching your data connectivity from mobile, and then put it on, the new state will be, the device contacts will come to server, and the server contacts will go to the device. which means the contacts will get swapped. I somehow couldn't believe in this definition of synching, and I believe, the synching will then keep the sum of the two contacts in both the location, which means the server will be again full. and so will be the device.
Can anybody tell how does the synching works for Lumia with Live account? so that I can update my contact list on bulk?
I also request Nokia to provide a local piece of sw like PC Suite for the Lumia device, this will increase the sale significantly.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

You wont have 600 contacts in Hotmail server because you deleted them, and when you delete even one contact in Hotmail then it gets deleted from NLM because I tried it just now. I deleted one contact a supermarket number when the phone was switched on and another contact with the phone switched off. When I switched on the phone the contact disappeared from the phone.
So from this we know that if you delete all of your contacts on your Hotmail then your Nokia Lumia contacts will all be deleted from Nokia Lumia too, apart from the Facebook and Twitter contacts in the People window.
In Microsoft Outlook you can select a whole range very easily and export to .CSV format to upload to Hotmail, if you have Microsoft Outlook I think this is the most powerful and effective way but needs a few steps to do it depending on which version of Outlook you have.
For Microsoft Outlook 2007 and 2010, edit all of your contacts then go to the "File" menu, then click on "Options", then click on the "Advanced" button on the left side of the window that pops up. After that move to the "Export" section on the right of the screen and click the Export button.
Now a menu opens. You choose "Export to a file", then choose "Comma Seperated Values (Windows)", then choose the "Contacts" folder from the list that opens after that. You will be shown a box to name and save the file that Outlook is about to make.
When you save the file remember where it is, then go to Hotmail and look for the "Manage" button above the list of contacts, when you find the button click it and choose "Import" from the menu that opens up.
After that you will be taken to a different page, look for the words "Add people from other services" and underneath that is a list of pictures and one of those pictures has the word "Outlook" next to it. Click on the word "Outlook". Then you will be taken to a new webpage.
When you reach the new webpage make sure you look at the words on that webpage called "Step 2" and make sure there is a green dot beside the words "Microsoft Outlook (using CSV)". Now go to the words called "Step 3" and you will see a button called "Browse". Click on the "Browse" button and then a box will open up asking you to find the file you exported from Microsoft Outlook, which I explained how to do earlier.
You can also use this process to export calendar from Microsoft Outlook to Hotmail, which will then sync the calendar on your Lumia phone too.

How do I Sync Contacts with Windows Live and Exchange on same phone?

Hello,
We use Exchange 2007 at the office for our corporate email. I also use Windows Live for personal email. Everything works great from the iPhone. I'm able to get both Exchange email and Live email via "push" on my iPhone.
My question surrounds how to sync my Windows Live contacts to my iPhone. Can anyone guide me in getting this achieved? Right now, the only contacts getting synched are those in Exchange. Note that we use IMAP and not POP3 for Exchange. Not sure that it makes a difference.
Thanks.

To achieve this, you need to export your Windows Live address list to an XML file.
Go to people.live.com, select Manage followed by Export. In iTunes, you can then select to sync the XML file.

How can I make contact with a live person at Adobe?

The stupid web site is set up to funnel me to the forums. I don't have the time for a forum. I am willing to pay and still can't figure out how to get support. Why should I give money to a company that makes it so difficult to get live support?

I've been on that page before and can find no link for live chat, only links for products, and when I press on the product that I would like support for, it sends me to the forum.
Well what problem are you having. 99% of the time the people on these forums are better informed than anyone you will get on the phone or in a live chat.

Contacts Sync with Windows Live Mail 2011

I'm using Windows 7 with the Windows Live Mail 2011 desktop application for email and contacts. Is it possible to sync the contacts in my Windows Live Mail 2011 application with my iPhone (iOS v4) using iTunes?
In Windows Vista, I used Windows Mail which stored contacts data in the Contacts folder within my profile (c:\users\username\contacts). These contacts did sync with my iPhone without any problems. Windows 7 doesn't have an email application built-in so, I'm using Windows Live Mail 2011. Windows Live Mail 2011 doesn't store contacts in the Contacts folder within my profile though. Is there anyway to sync my iPhone with my Windows Live Mail 2011 contacts?
Thanks,
Matt

Found this with a quick Google search:
To sync contacts with your computer, choose Sync Contacts on your Windows-based PC, or Sync Contacts with Address Book on your Mac.
You can sync your contacts with:
* Microsoft Outlook 2003 or Microsoft Outlook 2007 (Windows XP, Windows Vista, or Windows 7)
* Windows Address Book (Windows XP and Windows Vista)
* Address Book (Mac OS X v10.4.11 or later)
* Microsoft Entourage 2004 or Microsoft Entourage 2008
So it looks like the answer is no, you can't sync your contacts with Windows Live Mail 2011.

After attempting to sync my iphone contacts with my windows live contact i now have no contacts showing on my iphone

i was messing about with my itunes contacts and attempted to sync all my windows live contacts with my iphone, i dont know what setting i have changed but i now have no contacts showing on my iphone, i have tried to restore my iphone but this failed.
Cheers for your Help!

The sync process for contact info and calendar events is a bidirectional or true sync process. You can't transfer only contact info and calendar events available on your iPhone only to the supported application on your computer. Contact info and calendar events available in the supported address book and calendar app on your computer and contact info and calendar events available on your iPhone will be synced so the info available on both is identical.
If you have a MM account, you need to sync the supported address book on your computer with your MM online address book first. After confirming your MM online address book matches the supported address book on your computer, follow this by enabling over the air syncing for contact info with your MM account on your iPhone. This will erase all existing contact info on your iPhone and replace it with your MM online address book info, and the same for calendar events.
If you have contact info available on your iPhone that is not available with the supported address book on your computer, you need to sync your iPhone's address book with the supported address book on your computer via the iTunes sync process first. Follow this by syncing the supported address book on your computer with your MM online address book. After confirming the supported address book on your computer matches your MM online address book, enable over the air syncing for contact info with your MM account on your iPhone. After this, your iPhone's address book will be kept synchronized with your MM online address book which is kept synchronized with the supported address book on your computer and vice-versa.

Problem with MSN/Hotmail/MS Live/Passport

Hi,
For some reason I can't access my hotmail account in Safari. It used to work fine, then suddenly stopped (no idea why). Have tried deleting cookies/cache/history etc... no luck.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Hello, RedHavoc & Annette,
New developments when i attempted to sign in today this is how it worked.
Go to http://www.msn.com/ on that log in page just down from the log in box:
Windows Live ID click on what most best describes the account you have (for instance mine is Passport)
Works with Windows Live, MSN, and Microsoft Passport sites
Account Services | Privacy Statement | Terms of Use
© 2006 Microsoft Corporation.
Click "Sign In" On upper right hand corner of the page, then your are take to:
Enter email address & password, click Sign in. Bring you to MSN Account Services Home
On Upper right hand side of the page click on : MSN Home | My MSN | Hotmail | Shopping | Money | People & Chat.</b<
When you get to that page you should be able to Pick "Messenger" if that is what you use, or to My MSN, Hotmail.
Hope this works, I also did not have to enable cookies to "All" for sign out either, which was a requirement for my passport account, prior with the use of Safari.
Please let me know if this works for you.
p.s. When I look at cookies it looks as if this method creates the live.com cookiesthat must be reguired to log in along with accountsservices.msn.com accountservices.passport.net, these are all cookies that are new , i know because I would look thru & delete them, ( which i still intend to do) so this must be a way of establishing new ids for users, I presume for "Windows Live".
Regards

Syncing Google Gmail Contacts with Address Book and iPhone Contacts

Can anyone recommend a good way to sync Google Gmail Contacts with the Address Book on the Mac and with Contacts on the iPhone?

The Plaxo 3 non-pubic beta application currently supports only Mozilla and FireFox 1.5 and Internet Explorer 6. Safari support, and support for updated OS X thrid-party browsers, has not yet been released. To say that there are some anomalies and visual artifacts with Safari 2, would be an understatement. But, then, I often find this to be the case with beta—particularly, pre-public beta, software.
The current release—build 356—supports these 'sync points:'
• Mac OS X through a System Preferences pane
• AOL and AIM
• LinkedIn
• mobile access
• MSN and WIndows Live
• Outlook
• Outlook Express
• Windows Mail
• Yahoo
It does not yet support Google. Or, not yet reliably or completely. The little 'hippo' that pops up periodically in the beta says, "Google Calendar Sync has been temporarily disabled. We are working diligently to resolve the problem. Sorry for the inconvenience."
The verdict at the moment: contact synchronization performs as it always has with Plaxo. Calendar synchronization is clearly not yet ready for prime-time, even to the Plaxo 3 web interface itself.

No contact with MSN Live...
