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.

    No, iCloud does not handle 3rd party mail, and Google can already sync to all your devices without any help.
    iCloud accounts are individual, there is no 'Family' account. Open an account for each user, each will have an iCloud address.

  • Can I use iSight as a webcam in msn messenger?

    Hello Bad Monk
    I don't use messenger and don't remember seeing anything about audio plans.
    You'll have to ask Microsoft or a Messenger user's forum when messenger for mac will allow video chat. You see the latest by entering the word "audio" (without the quotation marks) in the search box at the left side of the linked page. If you do not get what you need, ask your question there.
    why cant it?
    The only reason I can imagine is that Microsoft does not write the software to use Mac's OS X audio capability. Perhaps they have a vested interest in the Windows version working better?
    any news on this please?
    This Google Search will give you any news I could find.
    In the meantime, because your MacBook can use Boot Camp, Parallels, or VMWare Fusion to run Windows XP software on your MacBook, you can choose which method you want to use, add the required software (if you have not already done so), and then install and use the same Windows instant messenger application that your PC contacts who will only use a messenger client are using to do video with audio.
    Hmmmm. This option makes another Windows sale for Microsoft in order for you to use the version that includes audio! Whaddaya think?

  • How do you use voice and data at same time?

    I'm on a call and need to look up data from a file also on my phone. What's the simplest and most effective way to simultaneously do this? Thanks in advance.

    If you're with Verizon, you can only do this in a wifi area.
    The simplest way is to tap the home button and then tap the icon of what you want to do. You'll either have to use speakerphone or an earpiece in order to see the screen .

  • Using 'SUBMIT' and get messages

    Hi, all.
    I created 2 addon programs.
    1 program call another program by 'SUBMIT'.
    but I don't get messages outputed by called program.
    Is it impossinble?
    please let me know.
    thanks.

    Hello,
    In Background, If you want to append messages from called program into calling program, then, in the calling program after the submit stmt, you will have to read the joblog for called program looping at the joblog table of called program using write stmt print all the msg .
    Then if u see joblog of calling program , it will have messages of called program also.
    Check the code below to get pointers:
    "Call the functin module to read the job log of called program in the calling program after the SUBMIT stmt
        CALL FUNCTION 'BP_JOBLOG_READ'
          EXPORTING
            client                = sy-mandt
            jobcount              = g_jcount
            jobname               = g_jbname
          TABLES
            joblogtbl             = g_t_joblogtbl
          EXCEPTIONS
            cant_read_joblog      = 1
            jobcount_missing      = 2
            joblog_does_not_exist = 3
            joblog_is_empty       = 4
            joblog_name_missing   = 5
            jobname_missing       = 6
            job_does_not_exist    = 7
            OTHERS                = 8.
        IF sy-subrc EQ 0.
    * Looping at the internal table for the joblog the messages are reported
    * to build the joblog in CLOCO
          LOOP AT g_t_joblogtbl INTO g_wa_joblogtbl.
            MESSAGE g_wa_joblogtbl-text TYPE 'I'.
    endloop.
    endif.

  • 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 FAQ’s. 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 FAQ’s. 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.

  • Cannot log into MSN messenger

    Hi
    I've recently upgraded to Tiger 10.4. I went to log into msn messenger and a newer version (mac messenger 5.0) was available so I immediately downloaded it. I tried to log in on the new version but I keep getting the following message:
    Sign in to microsoft messenger failed because the service is not available or you may not be connected to the internet.
    Obviously I am connected to the internet and I have checked through the msn website for any faults with 'messenger' and there are none.
    I have ensured that cookies are enabled which is what was suggested on msn's troubleshooting info but still I cannot log on.
    I have also tried my older version of messenger and that won't connect either.
    Can anyone give me any advice on how to get my messenger working? Is there something within my computer which I have to change or enable?
    Many thanx
    Em x

    I was sitting in Business School class today and was kicked off MSN Messenger. When I tried to sign back in, I get the same error message above paraphrased that the system is unvailable or you can not connect to the internet. I have not installed any programs and this problem has surfaced on its own.
    I can connect to MSN through Adium, and through MSN in Virtual PC, but not through the Mac OS X desktop using MSN application direct. I repaired disc permissions and attempted to downgrade to MSN 4.0 and reinstall MSN version 5.0 without sucess. My internet connection is working fine and the system preferences network diagnostics indicate everything is normal.
    Apparently several people have this problem, but I have yet to find a solution. I don't want to re-install OS 10.4 unless it is absolutely necessary so if anyone has any suggestions - please hit me with them!
    Thanks!

  • MSN Messenger broken (but it's an OS X question, I promise)

    Hi all,
    I'm running OS X 10.6.4 and since installing it MSN Messenger 7.0.2 seems to be broken (but only for my profile). Whenever I sign in ALL my contacts are blocked and I can't unblock them. However, when I sign in as another OS X user MSN seems to work ok, even when I sign in as the same account I use as my own account. This is why I think it's a profile issue.
    I've dragged MSN to the trash and removed all signs I can find of an MSN profile but the problem persists when I reinstall (even when I 'upgrade' to MSN 8 Beta).
    So, the question ... is there a way that I can find what files an app is using when it starts and therefore delete them? ~/Library/Preferences/com.microsoft.Messenger.plist and also ~/Documents/MSN Messenger Data ... it still remembers my login settings, though. Ideally I want to delete everything MSN uses and start from a clean slate but I'm 99% sure this isn't an OS X issue so I don't want to do anything extreme like reinstall OS X (esp. for a Microsoft app issue).
    Can anyone help? I'm a bit too new to OS X to troubleshoot this sort of thing so any suggestions would be much appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Fix:
    • For Messenger versions earlier than 7.0 on Mac OS X:
    a. Close MSN Messenger for Mac.
    b. Click the icon for the hard disk drive.
    c. Click Users, and then click your system user name.
    d. Click Library, click Preferences, and then click Microsoft.
    e. Drag com.microsoft.Messenger.plist, com.microsoft.MessengerDaemon.plist, Microsoft Messenger User Cache, and Microsoft Messenger User Cache.plist to the trash.
    • For Messenger version 7.0 and later versions on Mac OS X:
    a. Close MSN Messenger for Mac.
    b. Click the icon for the hard disk drive.
    c. Click Users, and then click your user name.
    d. Click Library, click Preferences, and then click Microsoft.
    e. Drag com.microsoft.Messenger.plist and com.microsoft.Messenger.rtc.plist to the trash.
    f. Open the Microsoft folder inside the preferences folder, and then drag Microsoft Messenger User Cache.plist to the trash.

  • MSN Messenger Crashes since the upgrade...

    I've installed 10.4.5 and ever since my MSN Messenger crashes. I've tried using MSN webmessenger online and it also crashes...I've also tried downloading and using programs that allow multiple messenging like Fire and Adium and they both let me use AIM, but when I try using MSN...it instantly closes down and brings up the Error Box...
    Any ideas?

    Huh...I downloaded Mercury and it's working...now I'm totally baffled...I'll give a giant cookie to anyone who can help me figure out what's wrong...
