Txt messaging on MSN messenger

Hi is it possible to receive text messages on MSN from a mobile phone? I can send them but I can't receive them. Is there a free program that can do this maybe?
Thanks

How does this question have ANYTHING to do with MacBook or Apple for that matter? A little off topic dont you think?

Using Voice and Vedio messaging on MSN Messenger

hi,
how can i talk and have vedio conference with someone on MSN messenger from my MSN messenger on Powerbook ( possibly using built in mic )

Hey
To cut a long story short, you can't. This has been a particular gripe now for some time, Microsoft have put off adding either voice or video to Messenger for Mac despite the PC version having had it for years. There are a number of options and work arounds available to achieve the same outcome however.
1. If you want to stay with MSN, you can download a third party client called Mercury Messenger, best place to get it is www.versiotracker.com. This will give you acceptable video but, alas, no voice.
2. To get sound, the best option at the moment is going to be a VOIP service such as skype, you could use that in addition to Mercury to give you both voice and video.
3. The best option is definitely going to be iChat AV if you have a firewire cam (isight for example). It will give you voice and video, it just means trying to convince your friends to swith over to AOL Instant Messenger if they're using PCs. If you have a USB cam, this wont work without a piece of software called ichatUSBcam which you can get from the same site as above. It does cost money though, but you get a trial period to see if it works.
4. If you can hold on a bit longer, there is another option coming up, Skype are working on adding video for Mac and that would give you an option similar to iChat but without requiring a firewire cam.
Hope that's of some help to you.

ITunes 4.7 and 6 MSN Messenger Problem

Once I downloaded iTunes 6, I could not use the music as a personal message in msn messenger!!!!

You will need to tell the forum what operating system you're using. Jaguar, Panther, Tiger and what version. This would help greatly. If you're a PC user then I suspect none of the following information will be of value to you.
If you're a Macintosh user this feature is NOT available on any of the Macintosh Microsoft MSN Messengers including their newest version Microsoft Messenger 5.0. This feature is only available for their PC users.
However, the software below does support this feature.
aMSN (a clone MSN Messenger) go to their forum and download the beta version -- http://forums.cocoaforge.com/viewforum.php?f=14 -- It has text, file transfer, webcam, not sure if it has voice/audio as yet. Remember it will have bugs as it is a beta version. You may or may not need the following for aMSN to work on Tiger. I know you need them for Jaguar and Panther. The tcl/tk interpreter (version 8.3 or later) found at -- http://tcl.sourceforge.net -- and also ImageMagick -- http://www.cmq.qc.ca/4w/amsn -- Read FAQs. PC users do not need this program, they can use the normal msn messenger. Once downloaded and all is working correctly for you go to Tools/Select Plugins/Music and load it.
Mercury (a clone MSN Messenger) go to their forum and try and find their beta version and download it -- http://www.mercury.to/index.php?page=Forum -- It has text, file transfer, webcam, not sure if it has voice/audio as yet. Remember it will have bugs aslo it is a beta version. Read FAQs. PC users do not need this program, they can use the normal msn messenger. You should find this feature in the "preference" settings.
The above 2 programs also have a Windows version.
Windows aMSN -- http://amsn.sourceforge.net/modules.php?name=Downloads --

How do I set up MSN Messenger account in Messages?

Apologies if this is an over asked question, but...
I understand the 'whys' of how Messages cannot integrate with MSN Messenger, and I have been searching everywhere for a solution. I keep coming across posts by Ralph that lead me to a set up instructions page using Jabber. However, this just leads me to a 404. I went to register on Jabber, but there is a message saying that the servers would be turned off on 15th March!
Surely this can be done, so if any bright spark out there can shed some light on this for me, I can get to using Messages and get rid of Adium!
Thanks all!

Hi,
I did used to post a Link to the All Forces Site but the subpages do not load for some reason and you get the 404 message.
I did find another set recently for another post but now can't find it again.
Basically you have to create a Jabber account on a Jabber server that has an MSN transport (or Gateway)
As well as logging in to the Jabber server you need to login to the Transport as well and also link this to Your MSN account.
Buddies are added to your Buddy list as UserName%[email protected]
Basically it adds all the servers to the name and swaps out the first @

How can I chat with my MSN Messenger friends using Messages in Lion (not iChat)?

I use MSN Messenger daily to talk with friends but I would like to use Messages to chat with them. Is there a way to do this? I looked in the preferences but it only lists AIM, Google, Yahoo and Jabber. I don't use any of those ones. I only use MSN. Anybody know how, or if it's even possible?

HI,
The Messages Beta has run out.
The End Date was the 14th December 2012.
However iChat and Messages in Mountain lion can be enabled to Add MSN Buddies to a Jabber List using Transports.
These Instructions detail how you can use a third Party app (in this case Psi) to enable a Transport on a Server that uses Transports and then Add MSN Buddies to your Jabber Buddy list.
The Instructions were written some while ago and include many pictures.
The current version of Psi is newer than the pics but you can still work out what to do.
The process will only enable Text Chatting

How can I do video chat with my PC friends on MSN messenger?

Well I posted this in the iChat area, but theres almost no traffic there, hoping for a better response here
I just got my iMac today and was hoping to do some video chats with family members. I can't figure out how to video chat with them since MSN messenger is not Mac compatable. Does anyone know of a program I can use on my Mac to video chat with MSN messenger users?
*I was able to use aMSN for video, but there was NO sound so that basically defeated the purpose...

Hi
Have just replied to your iChat post:
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=4577049#4577049 where I've posted a link to Mercury Messenger, that might work.

Error while creating the Ole Object (MSN Messenger)

Hi,
We are trying to send a mail by invoking MSN Messenger. We have imported "Messenger.MsgrObject" OLE Object and written the following code to logon to the Messenger.
DECLARE
     MSGOBJ123 OLEOBJ;
     SRVOBJ123 OLEOBJ;
     SRVOBJ1234 OLEOBJ;
BEGIN
     MSGOBJ123 := CREATE_OLEOBJ('Messenger.MsgrObject');
-- Get all the services from the Messenger Object
     SRVOBJ123 := Messenger_IMsgrObject.Services(MSGOBJ123);
-- Get one of the services
     SRVOBJ1234 := Messenger_IMsgrServices.Item(SRVOBJ123, 0);
     IF :TXTUSR = NULL THEN
     MESSAGE('User Name cannot be null');
     RAISE FORM_TRIGGER_FAILURE;
     ELSIF :TXTPWD = NULL THEN
     MESSAGE('Password cannot be null');
     RAISE FORM_TRIGGER_FAILURE;
     ELSE
-- Log on to the Messenger By passing the MsgObject,
-- User Name, password, Service Object
     Messenger_IMsgrObject.LogOn(MSGOBJ123, :LOGINBLK.TXTUSR, :LOGINBLK.TXTPWD, SRVOBJ1234);
     END IF;
END;
We get this error while executing this program
"FRM-40735: WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED trigger raised unhandled exception ORA-100504"
Please advice whether there is way to solve this problem or any other method of accessing MSN Messenger.
Thanks

do a check on the wsdl file and how you are passing values in the proxy. The tags for XML are not correct. Open the WSDL in IE and see there must be an error. Or probably when passing the actual values to the XML generated each element is not closed properly. Error says tags dont match.

Dual screen imac uses wrong inbuilt webcam for msn messenger video chat.

I have an imac and apple display set up, using msn messenger the webcam built into the apple cinema display is used not the imac webcam itself, can I change this so the webcam built into the new imac is used, thanks.

Your info shows you are using some "Other OS". If that is Windows, Linux, etc., I cannot help you. However, if you are using some version of Mac OS X and your system info merely needs updating, keep reading.
It has been several years since I tested msn messenger for Mac (MMM) , and I no longer use it. However, one of the following ideas should get things working unless MMM is written to prohibit selection of alternate cameras.
(1) Launch MMM and check its Help menu item. If MMM's Help on your Mac does not answer your question, check MMM's web support: http://mac2.microsoft.com/help/office/14/en-us/messenger/
(2) If nothing in Help or Support gets things sorted, you may be able to use the trick from ¶ 4 of http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302781 to force MMM to choose the webcam built into the new imac:
• Connect and power on all devices. • Quit MMM if it is running. • Launch any app with a user-selectable camera "Preferences..."
menu command. (The "tip" suggests that you use iChat,
but others like Photo Booth, iMovie, etc., may work, too.) • Open "Preferences..." and set the camera "Preference" to use
the display iSight. • Now launch MMM. MMM should now use the iMac's inbuilt
iSight because your display camera is in use by the other
application.

Conflict between using msn messenger in offline mode and full screen mode

I don't want to be visible in my msn messenger for the simple reason that I don't want to get chats all the time, but when I'm in off-line mode in msn messenger and I open a full screen application, immediately the messenger goes online. This happens with full screen games and while watching a youtube video in full screen. Why is this and how can I fix this?
Andreas

Your profile indicates you are running Tiger.
Please update it or repost in Tiger forum.
Thanks.
Since msn messenger is not an Apple product, you might also check to see if there are any forums in the MS area.
This might be a good start

Trouble connecting to MSN Messenger server, despite internet working

Sorry, this probably isn't in the correct section but I've been trying to connect to MSN Messenger for the last day or two. Normally I would just leave it and let it fix itself. However this hasn't resolved the problem. I normally use mercury messenger, but have since tried to connect using alternatives such as the official MSN software, amongst others.
I've reset the computer, deleted & reinstalled all the software, disconnected from the internet and set up a new user account, but the problem still seems to be happening. Using mercury messenger I get the error message "unable to connect to MSN server", while MSN messenger simply says I may not be connected to the internet.
Could someone please advise what else I could try, as I use MSN as a cheap way to communicate with friends!
Thanks,

Hi there!
I'm assuming everything on the net is working normally except for MSN? Does sound strange...where exactly is Warwickshire? Is there a possibility there are some MSN network problems in your area? I wouldn't expect so many different apps to be giving you a problem...
As for alternatives Adium is really a nice choice on Mac because you can connect wth any IM protocol. The disadvantage is you can't do video. Anyways with the real MSN Messenger you can't video either...that's why Mercury and also aMSN are popular alternatives...
Let us know,

MSN Messenger ALWAYS asks me to download latest version

Not sure if this is the right forum but here goes. I'm using MSN Messenger but almost every time I Sign I get This:
"A newer version of MSN Messenger for Macintosh is available. You must download the newer version in order to continue using MSN Messenger. Would you like to do this now?"
I do. I use it. I log out. When I try to sign in again (after shutting down my Mac) I get the exact same message every time. Anybody know what's up with that?

You have landed in iSight Discussions.
MSN Messenger for Mac (now Microsoft Messenger for Mac is an old, text only app, so I know you are not using iSight with it.
I do not use Microsoft Messenger for Mac, and I do not know what "Sign" is, but here are my best suggestions assuming you are writing about MSN Messenger for Mac.
If you do not keep your Mac OS X maintenance up to date, do complete maintenance now. Then try again to see if you still have the problem.
Do you repair permissions before AND after you update Microsoft Messenger for Mac? Do so before and after your next update. Then try one more time to see if you still have the problem.
Finally, I see that you use Mac OS X (10.4.2) on your iMac. I suggest you apply the Mac OS X (10.4.5) Combo Updater using a technique like the one I describe in How I Update My Mac OS X. 10.4.5 resolves a number of issues with earlier version of Mac OS X. Perhaps it will correct your current problem, too.
Unless you get the help you need here, if your problem still exists, and if you do not have ANY other problems with your Mac, I would suspect it is a problem related specifically to Microsoft Messenger for Mac. You should seek help for your Microsoft software from its Help or Readme files. If you cannot find help for your symptoms there, try at Microsoft for Mac Support.
You can also Google for Discussion forum for Microsoft Messenger for Mac. Perhaps the users who post at some forums dedicated to Microsoft Messenger for Mac can give you ideas.

Possible Blocked Port Halting MSN Messenger Connection?

Hi everyone,
I have been running MSN Messenger for months on my Macbook Pro without any problems. The other day at work it was connected as always and I got disconnected. When I tried to reconnect, I kept getting an odd message saying that my sign in details were wrong (they're not). Other people in the same room are still able to access MSN Messenger, just not me. The problem is that even at home now on my home network, I'm not able to connect to it there either. I still get the same error message. Around the same time I did download AIM to use also, so I'm wondering if this has caused a problem or if it's something else. I've looked around online and a lot of people seem to think it's a blocked port 1863. Does anyone have any ideas how to fix this so I can get MSN up and running again? Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Is good to know that you were able to find the workaround. Actually I was on the lab testing this due that I noticed that you had 2671 bypassed requests. Definitely bypassing authenticated traffic is going to resolve the issue, but I also wanted to recommend you to try another solution.
Add these commands to the CE:
- http cache-authenticated all
- http cache-cookies
and remove the bypass auth-traffic command.
This would allow the CE to cache as much as possible of the transaction. I tested and it works just fine and the CE is seeing cache hits.
As a side note, I noticed that the messenger goes on port 80 so you don't have to worry about the port 1863.
Thanks & Regards,
Jose.

Error in itunes store, msn messenger, and software update

hello, i seem to have a problem since someone changed my proxies settings for the internet. My internet browser works just fine and I can download stuff from the internet. But, neither Msn Messenger, nor iTunes store, nor Software Update are able to make a connection and work properly. I need help,how can I make them work??
Thanks.

I too am having a problem. It seems to have started after the last Software Update to my MBP.
Although I am connected to the internet, my MSN Messenger for Mac won't connect.
I get a message saying "Sign in to MS Messenger failed, because the service is not available, or you are not connected to the internet".
I have checked that the service is available,(it is) and I am connected to the internet.
The funny thing is, after failing to connect with my MBP, I tried my iMac, and that too wouldn't connect.
When I tried the iMac again this morning, it was OK, but as soon as I try the MBP, the problem appears again, and then the iMac won't connect either.
Any ideas anyone?

MSN Messenger on 8330 Curve(Telus)

I have a BB Curve 8330 with Telus. I do not have the MSN Messenger icon on my home screen or anywhere in my menu. Does anyone know where I can go to download it? when I go to the blackberry website and go through MSN from there and put in my phone number I get a text message sent to my phone with a link to go to download. I go there push download then I get a message saying "Sorry, your session has expired. Please close all of your browser windows and then return to the welcome page to start again". I try again and it doesn't work. On my plan I do not have web access included on it so I pay for each webpage or whatever that I go to. I don't know if that makes a difference or not.
Has anyone else had this problem? Or know how to fix it?
If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you sooo much in advance for everyone's help!
