Totally Remove msn for mac..

A week ago my dad tried using the corporate part of msn for mac and it did not work but remembered his email and password. Now, everytime I open msn it brings up the corporate login aswell as the personal login and wont automatically sign in when I open it. What I want to do is remove all the login names etc... from msn as this seems to be the problem.
Ok so ive tried the usual by just deleting the app and that didnt work. Then I found all the preferences in the documents folder so I deleted that and re-downloaded msn and that still did not work. I then tried AppZapper and that also did not work.
Does anyone have anything that can get rid of this?

I had not looked there but no there is nothing to do with msn in these locations.
I have just used spotlight to search for "messenger" and it has found a document called "Microsoft Messenger User Cache.Plist"
I have herd of Plist files before when people have been having trouble with the dvd ejection. It sounds to me like this is where it will be stored. Should I delete this file or is it a dodgy move?
Thanks

Slow transfer rates using MSN for mac

I'm trying to send files from MSN (for Mac) to an MSN (Windows) client. I'm beind a linksys WRT54G wireless router. Everything is set up well as far as the internet goes (browsing, downloading, uploading etc.). My problem is that when I try to send a file from my computer to another one, it takes forever! [A 2 MB video took over 5 minutes to send]
How can I increase the speed of the transfer? And which ports can I open to increase the speed.
Thanks in advance.

Solved.

Connecting to msn for mac at school/uni

I recently brought a macbook, and it connected fine at home. At school it didn't, and the ict technicians had to change some internet settings around. All works fine except msn for mac, which is not blocked by the school so I don't see why this is. Does anyone know why this might be happening? Anyone who owns a mac that has to change some settings when at school/uni that has any idea would be of great help! I think you may have to change the proxy settings just unsure how you do this? Please, please help me! Much appreciated.

Easiest solution would be to try MSN Web Messenger found at http://webmessenger.msn.com/. It is an officially supported version of MSN Messenger except that it runs entirely from your browser (like Facebook or other web apps). Except it does not support Safari, dumb Microsoft, I suggest Mozilla Firefox 3 as an alternative.
If you want to stick with a client based method I recommend Adium which can be found at http://www.adiumx.com/.

WHEN LOGGING IN TO MSN FOR MAC WON'T APPEAR AS ONLINE.

so i log in to my account on msn for mac, but it won't show i'm online, people have to restart their msn to then see me online, but its not like i'm going to tell 400 contacts to do so.
how can I fix it? or what program msn alike can i download for my mac?
one that isn't adium
ITS SO WEIRD.

Please post questions regarding Messenger on Microsoft's own forums for their Mac software, as Apple discussions only provide support for Apple products:

MSN for mac... is there a way?

Ok, I know that when you get msn for mac, you can't have the built in isight for the new imac g5's work with it. But it there any way to get it working at all? Like modding the program or something?
Thanks.
Chris

Hi
Try Mercury mercury.to/">http://www.mercury.to/
Or aMSN amsn.sourceforge.net/">http://amsn.sourceforge.net/
Both do video but no audio.
If you want video and audio try looking at Skype.

Were can i get msn for mac

Hi just got myself a mac pro after having windows laptop but must say finding it really hard to get things like msn and downloading sites< actly thinking of re-selling my mac as its not what i want in a computer.....can some one help and convince me that the mac is worth the money as its really upsetting to find i cant do anything like downloading or chat.

I think you should take a deep breath and really think about the money you spent and the effort you may be required to expend. This forum can be very helpful. The problem with your question is that the people answering questions are just people who had nothing to do with getting you into the situation.
So starting off that you are going to sell the machine is a tough insult to take right away. We can certainly help you if you are willing to try. If you have already given up then there is no point.
All of us spent the same amount of money to acquire the various hardware we have. Many of us have spent numberous hours solving many problems for ourselves and others. I suggest you give the forums a try and Apple support at an Apple store:
Heres the list: http://www.apple.com/uk/retail/storelist/
Is the ONLY problem you have that you don't have MSN messenger (as a side note MSN stands for MicroSoft Network and is a DIRECT competitor to Apple)?
I used a Google search for "MSN Messenger 8 Mac OS X" to locate the installer:
http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=4740
I confirmed this would install on my machine (MacBook Pro 15" running Mac OS X 10.7.3). I hope you will consider hanging in a little longer.
Best regards,
Wayne

Qwest/MSN for Mac

Hello,
I need to switch from my current ISP (very poor service) and my alternative is Qwest/MSN. I spoke with Qwest tech support and they told me the change over to the internet connection is seamless. Regarding MSN's bell's and whistles, I don't plan to use them.
Considering this: Are there any reasons why working with Qwest as the network provider and MSN as the ISP would present any (Mac-related) problems?
Thanks for your help.

I sign up with Qwest for the $35/month plan.
I believe William is correct. You don't actually talk to Qwest at all. Sign up with one of the ISPs on the page I linked to above. They'll charge you a monthly fee as your ISP and Qwest will bill you a DSL line fee as part of your phone bill.
I logon through the MSN interface to get on to the Internet.
Nope. No matter what ISP you use, you don't need to go to their web site at all. Start your browser on a blank page if you want, of whatever is your favorite site. You never need to look at your ISPs site if you don't want to.
I get email addressed to my domain, so that's not affected, right?
I don't have to make any changes to my DNS addresses with my domain registrar, right?
So you're already using a web hosting service to post a web site, which also already has email as part of the service? If so, then you can leave everything there just the way it is and continue to use your domain for your email accounts. Your ISP will also have email as part of your connection package, but you don't need to use it. If you want though, you could separate the two. Use your domain for business related email only, and set up an email with your ISPs name for personal. It's up to you.
For instance, I have email access as part of my account with Qwest. So if I wanted to, I could set up an email account which would be something like [email protected], but also leave my current email running under my domain name, which gives the emails a more professional look by matching www.jklstudios.com with email names like [email protected]
I don't have any needs/plans to spend any time on MSN.
Nor do you ever need to even if you go with MSN as your ISP.
So using Qwest/MSN should be a clean user experience as an entry point onto the Internet, right?
Any ISP which uses Qwest as their hub would be just as clean. It's really all in how reliable the up time of their servers are. That's the main thing to look into when choosing an ISP, other than price.

Issues With MSN For Mac

I don't know if this is the right place to put this but I can't see anywhere else. I recently downloaded the MSN 6.01 and since then I've been experiencing some problems. First of all, whenever I sign in I always have to type my password in twice before I can connect, it always says my first attempt is wrong even though I make sure I type it in right. Secondly everytime I click to change my display pic MSN freezes for a short time (about 30 seconds) before the window with my display pic options comes up. Is anyone experiencing the same problems or can someone help me with this?
Thanks!

I seem to remember some similar problem with the password when I upgraded to that version. You may have to go into Keychain Access and delete the entry, then put it in again.
You might also try Keychain First Aid.
I got so fed up, and with the slowness of the software, in comparison with the previous version, that I switched to Adium. It may not suit all, but it does work with MSN accounts.

MSN for Mac Issue (Don't know where else to put this)

I took a picture using photobooth, and tried to use it as my MSN display picture. It always says it doesn't work make sure its the right format, but my friend has an iMac and it works for him fine. Is it something to do with the MacBook Pro or something, and if you know how to fix this please tell me...
Thanks

MSN for Mac

Hi There,
Is there anyway that I can stop Mac Msn conversation windows from popping up on my screen automatically?
Its rather annoying when they keep coming to the top of my screen!
Thanks,
Dave.

Assuming you're talking about Messenger, since it's not an Apple product you'll probably want to use a forum dedicated to Microsoft's Mac products such as <http://www.microsoft.com/mac/community/community.aspx?pid=newsgroups> rather than an Apple forum that focuses on compatibility issues between Macs and Windows.
Be sure to search the forum first in case someone has already had a similar question answered

Using webcam when in msn for mac..

I'm not sure how to use the camera function whilst on msn, turning it into a webcam...anyone have any help? can it even be done?
many thanks

Hi Dany,
Unfortunately it cant be done im afraid, only IM can be done using MSN Messenger between a mac and PC. However there is a program called aMSN that allows you to use the video chat feature, but i cant guarantee its stability during video calls. Download it here:
http://www.amsn-project.net/download.php
My advice is download and use Skype (or use iChat) In my opinion Skype is flawless at video chat between PC and Mac, i use it everyday and the video quality very good! You can IM aswell. Good luck!
Skype:

Linking address book and msn for mac

I've just recently got the new macbook pro, and I was wondering if there is a was I can put my contacts from address book, into msn?
matt

Probably, but first you need to export them from Address Book to a CSV file, then use the Import function of MSN Live to import them. You can get more info from their web site here.
