Whats with MSN on an iBook

Since I switched to the iBook I've been unable to connect too my MSN Messenger service. I know its not a problem with my Network because I was using the service with my PowerBook G$ before I switched. I checked MSN Messenger in System Preferences>Sharing>Firewall but it still does not connect.
Is there something else I need to do to connnect?
Thx.
Sam

Its strange.. I can use Microsoft Messenger (and Yahoo) at home with no problems, but at work, i can only use yahoo! Its not to do with firewalls as i dont use one.... and if i (gulp) change all my ip details to a (gulp) PC. both work fine..
I think its a bug in the MSN software.. theve just released a newer version for windows.. heres hoping the mac version comes soon!

  • What's the official word on "iSIGHT"?  Does it work with msn or no?

    I keep reading various reviews...some people say yes..others say no. Does anyone know for a fact if isight works with msn? I've seen the camera and it looks fabulous. And...if it does work, how easy is it to hook it up? Is it simply 'plug and play'?
    Thanks

    Thanks for the reply guys. Using iSight without audio or video defeats the purpose.
    I'd like to know if i'm msn, can I start a video conferencing session with someone on a PC? or MAC? via Isight? How compatible is this camera? It has the best video i've ever seen on a camera, so how well does it work? With my old logitech camera on PC I never had a problem...but the audio and video were horrible.

  • Have Verizon DSL with msn premium. I can not set up msn email. Error in incoming server  etc.. (My verizon email set up fine). Apple could not help as it is an msn/verizon problem

    I am unable to set up msn email on my Ipad 2 with wifi. I have Verizon DSL with msn premium. My verizon email address set up fine. Does anyone have a step by step method and what needs to be changed. Thank you

  • Merger with MSN account?

    The merger with my MSN account does not seem to work ..
    When I log in with MSN, I can not see anything from my usual SKYPE. What am I doing wrong .. Is it so that my Skype-name must be the same, and if so, how do I change it? Can not actually click on the Skype-name in Profile settings? I have the desire to use the MSN account, but also want to Keep my SKYPE account with the corresponding number and history? ...

    It's not working properly that's what I can say.
    Here's what happens, you have a MSN and Skype account right?
    When you login in Skype with MSN account you'll be creating a NEW account in Skype and then when you merge to your Skype account it will create a relationship between both accounts. After this do never use windows live again.
    Now two things will happen.
    - When you login in Skype with your MSN account it will show all your skype accounts and then it will load your MSN accounts.
    You'll have all your contacts together.
    - but if you login with your original Skype account, only the Skype accounts are loaded.
    Thats my perception on how it realy works.
    I merged both accounts but i will never login with msn. It's an old email entry that i dont want my contacts to have it because i dont use it for email, but still used it for messaging until today.

  • Ichat with msn account

    I have heard that ichat can be used with my msn account. Is this true? And if it is, what do I have to make it work.

    At the moment no. If yu want to use the isight with msn use amsn.sourceforge.net
    Bear in mind though that amsn doesn't support audio. For a full featured isight usage without going through ichat you need the skype video preview (http://www.skype.com/download/skype/macosx/videopreview.html). But it's not msn!

  • I need help with ISIGHT!  I can't get it to work with MSN!

    HI,
    My issue is this... I have AIM/AOL and I am able to see myself on webcam.. however noone else can unless they HAVE a webcam... My first question is- "DO you have to have a WEBCAM on both ends for both people to see you?" Does the person I am chatting with HAVE to have a webcam to see me? If so WHY? They should atleast be able to see ME if I want them to... Also if they are using windows for PC platform... can they use a pc webcam and still connect with me through my isight although I am on a mac?
    My second major ISSUE is.. WHY is the isight only compatible with AOL/AIM? I was told when I bought this it would be compatible with MSN Messenger for windows AND the MAC version... I have both and the isight does not show up on it... CAN ISIGHT be connected to msn messenger for MAC??? PLEASE help me!
    I called APPLE tech support and they couldn't even help me! They told me to call Microsoft! Anyhow- one guy did say he was able to get his ISIGHT working with the MSN messenger for MAC platform.. do you have ANY idea how to do that?? The thing is ALL my freinds are on PC's and have MSN messenger..
    ALSO- someone on mac rumors told me to look for a guy names RALPH! Said you know A LOT about mac and pc compatibility! PLEASE HELP
    Bottom line - I want to use isight with msn so my msn pc friends can share webcam... I also have virtual pc software... is it easier to just get a pc webcam and do it through there? ( i tried that and it didn't work either) i need major TECH SUPPORT!
    THANK YOU

    Microsoft's Messenger for Mac (MSN) does not support webcams at all.
    I have found the best alternative to MSN to be aMSN with macam for the webcam driver (it is a cheap usb webcam). Both are free open source projects. I guess if you use an iSight you will not need macam.
    aMSN can be found here: http://amsn.sourceforge.net/
    macam can be found here: http://webcam-osx.sourceforge.net/
    The speed is substantially faster and it is far more stable than Mercury in my experience.
    The only difficulty is the camera is often shown as being "in use by another application". To counter this I start macam, then plug in the camera (or unplug and plug back in). Then I start aMSN.

  • Firefox 19 not working with MSN homepage keeps crashing, Msn homepage works with IE 9 though?

    I have always set MSN as my homepage with all versions of Firefox. Firefox suddenly stopped working (crashed 3 days ago). I had been running Firefox 19 for a few days with no issues, just stopped working with MSN and the screen just froze? I tried MSN with Internet Explorer and had no issues? I tried disabling the plug ins and Java, but no use? The only way I can use Firefox is to use a different homepage, then there are no problems.

    I fixed the problem by removing all cookies as suggested in another similar post. Thanks.

  • How i use my isight to chat in adium with msn users

    I like Know how i use my isight (built-it in a MB) to chat in adium with msn users

    AdiumX does not support Video conferencing.
    Mercury Messenger, a Java based MSN client supports video, but not audio.
    Microsoft never included video/voice in the MSN Messenger for Mac, and now the client is completely abandoned by Microsoft.
    In other words, you can't do MSN video conferencing from a Mac at this time.
    You can use other programs like SighSpeed for Mac to PC video chat, but it is not a MSN client, nor does it support MSN buddy lists. Its a seperate client altogether.

  • Whats with iPhone requiring a 1 ?

    I have had a phone number in my contacts for nearly a year now on this phone. Its an 800 number. As everyone knows, cell phones don't use the "1" before area code and number anymore. That is only needed for archaic landlines. But this number has been in my phone as (800) XXX-XXXX for nearly a year. Just today out of thin air, when I dial via Contacts, it gives me a jingle and then "Were sorry, your call cannot be completed as dialed". I tried 10 times. No luck. In fact, I called another number out of state - a 619 number and an 858 number and it worked fine. No leading "1". But still the 800 suddenly was not working. So I added a 1 before it. It worked.
    When you add a new contact to your phone, it also puts a 1 before it.
    Whats with the iPhone requiring a 1? Why did my phone suddenly change to where I cant dial the 800 number without a 1?
    Weird...

    Both those area codes are not out-of-state; they're San Diego, California. So you were calling IN-state. Maybe you meant you were calling out of your area code.

  • Tiny hand-made extension for Mavericks, how-to/what-with?

    Tiny hand-made extension for Mavericks, how-to/what-with?
    We need one small extension in Mavericks.
    The goal and prerequisites are described below.
    Preferable on script basis.
    The question how the goals can be achieved and by use of which Mavericks on-board tools?
    Extension's UI available in system menu (preferable the context menu while in a Finder window).
    Script conducts on invocation following operations:
    - create a new text file in folder of current Finder window
    - file name can be fixed programmed in script
    - add to the file name appropriate postfix if file already exists
    - inject into file a string which is fixed-coded in the script
    - inject in file's next line the clipboard content
    It is in user's responsibility to ensure the clipboard content is a text
    - save file changes to disk
    - close the file
    - Optionally ask user for file name

    I have a new Macbook and want to video chat with MSN Messenger users.
    Can I do that via aMSN?
    I've also got XP running on my Macbook and have installed MSN Messenger running but I cant seem to get XP to recognize the built in camera. Is there a way to do this?

  • Why does my IPad not sync with my IPhone for Ibooks bookmarks?

    Why does my IPad not sync with my IPhone for IBooks bookmarks?  Both Pad and Phone have sync turned on.

    I must apologize as I misread your post. I though that you were talking about Safari bookmarks but you post does clearly state iBooks bookmarks.
    You may want to just try restarting both devices and see if that helps. One other thing that you could try is quit iBooks on both devices and then launch it again and see if the bookmarks are synced when you relaunch.
