Trying to download MSN messenger please help

I have just bought a Mac book Pro and am clueless on how to use it. I am also useless on computers and have no idea what I'm doing.
I have been trying to download Lime wire and MSN messenger but have been told I need to download a compression file. I downloaded Stuffit Expander but I still am unable to download MSN and Limewire. It simply says:
"The Limewirewin.ex does not appear to be compressed or encoded. It is adviced that you obtain further information about the contents of this file from the sender or provier of the file."
No idea what this means please help me, and make it simple please!!!

Wellcome to the Discussions !
As you have been told, this is the wrong forum for your questions. Visit the OSX Forum here:
http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=160
Don't forget to use the search feature in the Forums before posting, it's very probable you find the answer from previous topics.
But just a couple of advices. You can download Microsoft MSN 6.0 from this link (you don't need any special software to install it):

... but I encourage you to give a try to this other chat app:

Good luck!

Logging in with MSN Messenger - please help!

Hello!
I really hope somebody can help, I've been trying to get iChat to work with my MSN Messenger contacts for about 2 weeks now and have trawled through the advice on this forum but nothing has worked properly.
I've tried Ralph Jones (I think)' helpful advice, been through the top three links and registered with Jabber about 5 times but no success. If you are reading please help Ralph!
The first time I tried it, it did work and I spoke with somebody for a few minutes, however then it came up with an error that said 'Not available' when I tried to send a message. Since then all my contacts have showed as 'Waiting for Authorization' but this status never changes. I think I've tried everything - I've tried different servers on the third link, I've tried the UK one (I'm in the UK) but nothing seems to work.
Please help! This is the final step as every other application I've got working fully!
Thanks,
Andrew

Hi,
I used Psi to set up my Jabber name and transport on Jabber.org.uk
Then I added that Jabber screen name as an Jabber account in the iChat Preferences > Accounts
Like you I find that sometimes they seem to stay at Not Authorised.
Check with the Psi app that the Transport is active.
Also contact Gil Taylor in table 2
http://www.ralphjohnsuk.dsl.pipex.com/ContactTesters.html as he seems to know more about this.
Use his AIM name first and text him.

Trying to download yahoo messenger and I keep getting a connection error. But it stats must use internet explorer to fix. I only have firefox, no internet explorer.. anyway to get around it?

Once again, I am trying to download Yahoo messenger and It only has tips for Internet explorer We only have Firefox (mozilla) installed and so I need help getting around this in order to install.

And they do offer a compatible version. As I am running running Netflix on my first generation iPad just fine.
You'll need to first "purchase" the non compatible version either on a newer device that can run it or on a computer running iTunes using the Apple ID that is on the first Gen iPad.
After that is done, you should be able to go into the App Store App, and find Netflix under the Purchased Tab. Tap on it to download it and you should be warned its not compatible, but will be offered the compatible version.
App Store: Install the latest compatible version of an app

My iPhoto won't open. It says "Your photo library is either in use by another application or no longer readable." Please tell me I haven't lost all my pics?! I do not have them backed up. I have tried restarting my mac. Please Help!

What haven't you backed them up? You should always have a back up of any important material on your Mac. Make one now:
Most Simple Back Up
Drag the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to another Disk. This will make a copy on that disk.
Slightly more complex:
Use an app that will do incremental back ups. This is a very good way to work. The first time you run the back up the app will make a complete copy of the Library. Thereafter it will update the back up with the changes you have made. That makes subsequent back ups much faster. Many of these apps also have scheduling capabilities: So set it up and it will do the back up automatically. Examples of such apps: Chronosync or DejaVu . But are many others. Search on MacUpdate
What version of iPhoto do you have?

Hi PgrimshawMVP,
You can try this. Not sure if this will definitly help but I hope this should:
Delete the following preferences folders:
a) ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/
b) ~/Library/Caches/Acrobat/
c) ~/Library/Caches/Acrobat/
d) ~/Library/Preferences/Acrobat Distiller Prefs
e) ~/Library/Preferences/Adobe/
Here ~ represents your home directory. Empty your trash, Restart the machine and then start the Acrobat.

I have a 2009 macbook air with 10.6.8 and over 20gb of memory left and also 2mb, aka all of the requirements for mavericks, i've tried every solution and yet mavericks will still not download? Somebody please help me.

Seriously bugging me and stressing me out - please help me out.

Check if your machine can accept it
https://www.apple.com/osx/specs/
If you have TimeMachine, there is a hidden TM local file taking up the remaining space on the drive.
It's not counted on the size because it self scales as more of your user data is written to the drive.
Backup all your users files off the machine to a external storage drive (not TimeMachine as it will drastically change once Mavericks is installed) and phyically unmount/disonnect.
Next Trash > Empty Trash the users files on the boot volume that you copied to the external drive.
Paste this into Terminal to turn off TimeMacine local backups and press enter, enter your admin password and press enter
sudo tmutil disablelocal
(To re-enable it: sudo tmutil enablelocal)
then turn TimeMacine on/off and reboot the machine. Check your drive space now in Applications/Utilities > Activity Monitor.
Try the Mavericks upgrade again, check your machine specs (Apple menu > about this Mac > more info) for a model identifier and consult Apple's site if your machine can accept Mavericks.
https://www.apple.com/osx/specs/
Mind you that 10.7-10.9 will NOT run your currently installed PowerPC based software.
Some of your older software may cease to function (Intel processors or not) because of the huge jump in OS X versions.
If your not currently under AppleCare, I would advise against a OS X upgrade as it can have issues with your hardware and the firmware can brick the machine.

Trouble downloading apps! Please help :(

I am trying to download apps to my iphone, it keeps telling me that verification is required, when I put in my password, it says "can't verify address", however when I sign in on my computer's itunes it has no problems. HELP please!

I am, unless the formatting is different? I put the exact same info as I do in my itunes on my laptop and it's not working. Hopefully I'm just missing one minor detail? Is there a trick to how there are 2 address lines? (I am using my debit card)
and yes...I'm getting very irritated. Just bought the phone today and wondering if I made a mistake!! lol
UPDATE: thank you for your advise!! It was as simple as removing the dash between my city...CRAZY! winston-salem and they wanted winston salem....ugh
