AIM with Windows Live Messenger buddies as some of the contacts

Can have an AIM account with Windows Live Messenger buddies as some of the contacts?
Thanks,

If you are using iChat it will not chat with MSN (or similar) buddies without some work
You need to read the items in the left hand panel here Particularly the All Forces link.

Send webcam in msn live messenger

hi iam new to mac i was wondering if some one is willing to help me,just to save me some time searching for the answers,here are my questions:can i use my isight in msn live messenger.if not what can i do to send webcam in live messenger.how can i backup and copy my dvd's.and last do i realy don't need an antivirus....tnx in advance.

Welcome to Mac, lamanblou
Tony has already given you a link to the app you need to connect to PC users who use ONLY Messenger.
I don't think anyone needs anti-virus (AV) on any Mac running OS X. This search of Tiger (10.4) Discussions will give you a look at what others say. Personally, I do not think it necessary to use AV software even for things you send to your PC friends because any PC that is working well enough to get email is already running its own AV software. Of course, if you are running a PC Operating System on your iNtel Mac, you will need to use PC AV software just like any PC would.
As for backing up (and any other Mac questions), the first place you should look is in your Mac's Finder > Help > Mac Help. Just search for "backup" without the quotation marks, and your Mac will give you a list of help topics.
Your next source of good info is the "Support" link at the top of this page. This search of Apple's Support pages duplicates many of the same pages that your Mac Help will find, but the web pages may be useful if you are away from or are having problems with your Mac.
Whether you use your Mac's Help or the Support link, you should be backing up all the important files on your Mac as well as you important DVDs. Use your Mac's "Disk Utility" application (located in the Finder > Go > Utilities folder.) When you have launched Disk Utility, click its Help command for more info about making backups with CDs or DVDs.
To duplicate an existing DVD or CD with Disk Utility (versus merely make a file copy), select "DVD/CD master" from the Image Format choices bar when you create the new disk image of the source disk. When a disk image that was created in the "DVD/CD master" format is burned to disk, Disk Utility creates a duplicate of the source disk. Other Image Formats are used for other purposes and offer different advantages such as compression to allow more data to fit on one disk.

Equium A210 - after BIOS update problems signing into MSN Live Messenger

Hi
I have just installed the latest Bios update for my Equium A210, as this was the first time \i have ever attempted this \i watched carefully and all appeared to go correctly but, when the notebook restarted, it beeped and showed a checksum error, I chose the option to restart with 'Default Settings'
Since doing this I have had problems signing into MSN Live Messenger and wondered if this could be something to do with the Bios update, also is it possible to 'go back' to the old Bios somehow?
Thanks
Widdy

Hi there,
your issue is actually not an machine related problem. The "Checksum Error" is normal after every BIOS update since the checksum of the BIOS which consists the the BIOS settings and the BIOS version is not correct due an altered BIOS version.
So, next time you update your BIOS you will get a "BIOS checksum error" again. Dont worry, its nothing serious.
Regarding your Messenger:
1. Uninstall the messenger
2. Download the latest version from the MSN site
3. Install the new one
4. Have fun

Weird Artifacting with Windows Live Messenger

So, I noticed that I get some artifacting with Windows Live Messenger's notifications after restoring my W520 to its factory settings again. I got angry at it and restored it to factory settings again, and it is still present. Yes, I've tried updating my software. It is weird as I can play games fine without artifacting. Also, this doesn't happen when when I'm on discrete only, happens in Optimus and integrated only, though. Currently trying a clean install. This has never happened before. If it helps, I recently updated to the 1.26 BIOS.
Image of issue.
Edit:
Same issue occurs with a clean install.
Edit 2:
Works fine with the generic VGA driver.

Are your graphics drivers up to date? Maybe try the NVidia Verde 275.xx driver?
WLM 2011 is GPU accelerated. Does the issue also appear in Skype 5 or IE9 or any other GPU accelerated program?
Does the issue seem to appear when Optimus toggles graphics cards?

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?

Using integrated camera with Windows Live Messenger

Hello everyone
I've just got a MacBook Pro and wondered if anyone could tell me how to use the camera facility with MSN please?
Many thanks.

... work with any version of windows live messenger?
MSN Messenger for Mac does not support video except via Office Communications Server 2007 (usually paid for by commercial enterprises rather than individual users). However, it is possible to video with your friends who use the PC version of the MSN Messenger family of apps. Here are a couple of ways you can try:
(1) As suggested by Defcom, take a look at aMSN and Mercury
Either can do webcam video with your built-in iSight.
They work a bit differently, so use whichever you find easiest or most reliable on your MBA.
(2) As an alternative, because your iNtel Mac can use Boot Camp, VMware Fusion™, or Parallels™ to run Windows® software, you can choose which method you want to use, add the required software to your iNtel Mac (if you have not already done so), and then install and use the same Windows® Messenger application that your contacts are using to video chat with them.
The Windows drivers for your built-in iSight and your other Mac hardware are on the disk with Boot Camp so, after you have installed Windows, you can install the iSight driver and use your built-in iSight if you like. If you need more help on this, search or post in Boot Camp discussions category
(3) If your friends are willing to try something "new and improved" (does NOT work with Messenger):
you can both install and try a different video chat app such as Google Talk or Skype.

ITunes keeps stealing focus from itself when used with Windows Live Messenger 2011

Dear Community,
I've always used WinAmp as my default music player, which worked like a charm both at playing music and showing my 'Currently Listening To' in WLM 2011.
However, I personally think iTunes has better library management, and since I bought an iPod Shuffle (4GB, small stick without buttons, think 3th gen?) I needed it anyway just to be able to listen to my music when I'm in the bus or train, so I made the switch.
It really works quite nice after you get to know the program, minor flaws here and there, but no really big deals. (except the lack of FLAC support, had to recode like 60% of my library, I like lossless audio without a proprietary codec)
At least, not until I used it to show the currently playing song in WLM2011.
Since upgrading from iTunes 9 to 10 (10.4.1.10 to be exact, and upgraded after a clean install of Windows 7 SP1, so to make it clear, iTunes 9 was not installed at the time I installed iTunes 10, nor were there any files or leftovers) it just keeps stealing focus. Not from my browser, or other apps, but from itself!
Whenever I try to edit a song's information and WLM is running, it keeps popping back to the main window, which makes correcting songs (like putting the artist in the right column) a real pain in the ***.
I'm running W7 x64 SP1 (build 7601), all drivers are up to date, WLM 2011 (build 15.4.3538.513) and, if it makes a difference, WLM Plus 5.03.0.716.
I already have it as 'Default Program' for all possible file extensions.
I have looked through these forums to see if there's a similar problem and found many, however, they all apply to older versions (iTunes 6 and 7 or MSN 7 and 8) and don't seem to work with this new version.
If any of you know a way to keep iTunes as my default player and show the currently playing son in WLM2011 without iTunes stealing its own focus, I'd love to hear it!
If there's any more information needed about my system, let me know, I will try to provide
Thanks in advance!

hi there, i've had this same issue too for a while...so basically...the problem only happens if you run windows live messenger with compatability mode and while you tell windows live messenger to show what music you're listening to.
SO the solution to this problem is to:
1. turn off compatability mode
OR
2. turn off "show imformation about the song im listening to" to on windows live messenger
personally i'd rather just turn off "show imformation about the song im listening to" because windows live messanger tends to crash a lot when compatability mode is turned off.

Itunes with windows live messenger

for some reason, after i downloaded the new update today, it doesnt seem to be showing what music im playing on windows live messenger, yet if i used windows media player it shows what im playing, i was wondering how i would be able to turn this setting back on so that it shows what im playing

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.

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.
Thomas
