Voice over and windows messenger for Mac help

Hello,
I am using VoiceOver and would like to use Windows Messenger for Mac but I can't seem to get VoiceOver to read the contact list for messenger when I use the control-option-shift-down arrow to interact with the contents of the window it skips the contants list and goes straight to image behind it.
Is there a way to have VO read the contacts list in windows messenger or is it just not a compatiable program for VO?

Here is the wikipedia article on aMSN. The article also includes a link to the aMSN website. It is a multi-platform messenger application that interoperates with Microsoft Messenger.

  • Messenger for Mac Help!!  (I don't know if this is the right place to ask)

    Hi everyone.
    I have Messenger for Mac, and I think you know already but I've been trying to get rid of my messenger accounts at the log in screen and I've tried everything!!!! it's not working at all!!
    It's nothing like Windows computers with their msn and I don't know how to delete mine!!
    PLEASE HELP ME!
    Also, I have Mac OS X v. 10.5.5
    So I hope that helps.

    Rename each file to end in .rtf, and then open TextEdit. Save three new documents to your desktop with the same name as each file the Finder reports as being in use, and then overwrite the existing documents. Throw away the TextEdit files.

  • Why Can't Camera Work with Windows Messenger for Mac and give output video?

    I can see from the other end, but my camera won't come on so they can't see me. I hear them and can type in Messenger, but I'd like to have 2-way video, not just receive.
    My camera works as I use it in Photo Booth, so that's not the problem. I can't find a way to setup the video within Messenger. Don't know if it's problem with Messenger or Leopard.
    Whatever it is, it's very annoying that I can't output video.
    Anyone with similar problem or have the answer? I'd be forever grateful!

    Microsoft Messenger doesn't have video support on the Mac version. If you want crossplatform videochat, ask your friends to join AOL Instant Messenger. You can get video chat crossplatform between AOL Instant Messenger for PC & Apple's iChat which supports AOL Instant Messenger screen names. Skype is crossplatform too. An open source program called ophonex supports Microsoft Messenger's Netmeeting protocol for video chat as well. IRC is also crossplatform in videochat though its setup is a bit more complicated with the software known as Ircle for the Mac.

  • Msn messenger for mac help????

    when sending files, the transfer is considerably slower on my mac using mac messenger than if i were on a windows pc on windows messenger sending files
    any reasons or suggestions for this? how to resolve this???
    this is a long problem of mine and i would much appreciate ANY help

    Since Messenger is not an Apple product, you'll get better response if you use a forum dedicated to Microsoft's Mac products such as <http://groups.google.com/groups/dir?sel=33607053> rather than an Apple forum that focuses on Mac/Windows compatibility.
    Be sure to search the forum first in case someone has already had a similar question answered. You'll get your answer faster this way. Post your question in the forum if you don't find anything that helps you.

  • MSN and Yahoo Messenger for MAC do not offer voice and CAM features

    Greetings and Happy New Year to all
    I have asked this question twice before and nobody seems to be able to help.
    I travel alot and just purchased a Powerbook 12 inch. I miss my windows notebook because I was able to use my CAM and Chat with my kids when I need to travel. I also have a Imac G5 and I should have learned that I could not use CAM or Voice on it either.
    I just want to know " is there a third party program which has voice and CAM capabilities????????? If anyone can guide me here I would appreciate it very much.
    Sincerely

  • What is the difference between Macs Voice Over and the text to talk feature

    what is the difference between Macs Voice Over and the text to talk feature

    Voice Over doesn't need someone to type in the text first. Voice Over works with specific screen displayed information so that a blind person can know where his/her cursor is or what is being displayed. Although it is an application of text to talk it's more than the text to talk feature.

  • HT2477 Are documentS created with Microsoft office for windows and Microsoft office for mac are compatible with each other

    Are documents created with Microsoft office for windows and Microsoft office for mac are compatible with each other?

    As with a lot of software, it depends on the version of Word, and what features the author used.
    Technically, Office 2010 for Windows and 2011 for Mac are supposed to be feature compatible. As are Office 2007 for Windows, and 2008 for Mac.
    However, if a person using Office 2010 / 2011 used a feature that only exists in that version and sends the file to someone using Office 2007 / 2008, they would very likely have trouble opening the file, or having it display as intended.

  • Windows office for mac

    Hi
    I am considering buying MacBook Air and want to install windows office for mac.
    Do I have to buy an external cd drive to do this ?
    Thanks

    When you say, "windows office for mac", its a contradicion in terms that makes a clear answer a litle more complicated. Either you are wanting to buy Microsoft office for Windows, or Microsoft Office for Mac.
    For the Mac, you would use "Microsoft Office for Mac", unless you intend to install Windows on that Mac, and run it using Bootcamp or a virtual machine product like Parallels or Fusion.
    To your question of installing the software. Yes, you can buy an external DVD drive, but it is not necessary. Here are your other options.
    1. Use Remote Disc, the means by which a Mac can use the DVD drive of another computer attached over a network.
    2. Using another computer, copy the DVD disc that comes with the software to a USB flash drive, and then use the flash drive to install MS Office for Mac.
    3. Download the "trial" version of MS Office for Mac, from the MS Office for mac website (instructions are usually included with your disc). Then use the activtion code that came(comes) with your install disc to activate the trial to be the full installed version. You see the "trial" is no different than the "full version", except the license is simply not activated for unrestricted use.

    That error message means that you are trying to download the file to a folder that you don't have access to write files to. Try changing the default Downloads location (via Safari Preferences) to your Desktop and retry the download.
