WHEN LOGGING IN TO MSN FOR MAC WON'T APPEAR AS ONLINE.

so i log in to my account on msn for mac, but it won't show i'm online, people have to restart their msn to then see me online, but its not like i'm going to tell 400 contacts to do so.
how can I fix it? or what program msn alike can i download for my mac?
one that isn't adium
ITS SO WEIRD.

Please post questions regarding Messenger on Microsoft's own forums for their Mac software, as Apple discussions only provide support for Apple products:

    Hi Janice,
    What version of Mac OS are you using?
    Adobe does not recommend migrating the software from one disk to the other.
    Please run the setup file for Acrobat and reinstall the software. You might want to delete the existing version of Acrobat installed before reinstalling it.

  • Elements 8 for Mac won't launch

    I just installed this program and it won't launch when double click the icon. This is a brand new laptop so the sys are current. Any ideas?

    Barbara,
    Thanks for the help, but I'm embarrassed to say that my problem was the fact I was double clicking on the icon instead of single clicking. I've only had this machine a couple weeks and old habits are hard to break.

    Then I would do this. Uninstall it (there's a link to the uninstaller in the PSE 8 application folder), and then create a new admin user (system preferences>accounts), log into that user and run the install from there. Be sure to repair permissions afterwards. If all is well in the new account you can log back into your existing account and delete the new one.

  • Slow transfer rates using MSN for mac

    I'm trying to send files from MSN (for Mac) to an MSN (Windows) client. I'm beind a linksys WRT54G wireless router. Everything is set up well as far as the internet goes (browsing, downloading, uploading etc.). My problem is that when I try to send a file from my computer to another one, it takes forever! [A 2 MB video took over 5 minutes to send]
    How can I increase the speed of the transfer? And which ports can I open to increase the speed.
    Thanks in advance.

  • Connecting to msn for mac at school/uni

    I recently brought a macbook, and it connected fine at home. At school it didn't, and the ict technicians had to change some internet settings around. All works fine except msn for mac, which is not blocked by the school so I don't see why this is. Does anyone know why this might be happening? Anyone who owns a mac that has to change some settings when at school/uni that has any idea would be of great help! I think you may have to change the proxy settings just unsure how you do this? Please, please help me! Much appreciated.

    Easiest solution would be to try MSN Web Messenger found at http://webmessenger.msn.com/. It is an officially supported version of MSN Messenger except that it runs entirely from your browser (like Facebook or other web apps). Except it does not support Safari, dumb Microsoft, I suggest Mozilla Firefox 3 as an alternative.
    If you want to stick with a client based method I recommend Adium which can be found at http://www.adiumx.com/.

  • Totally Remove msn for mac..

    A week ago my dad tried using the corporate part of msn for mac and it did not work but remembered his email and password. Now, everytime I open msn it brings up the corporate login aswell as the personal login and wont automatically sign in when I open it. What I want to do is remove all the login names etc... from msn as this seems to be the problem.
    Ok so ive tried the usual by just deleting the app and that didnt work. Then I found all the preferences in the documents folder so I deleted that and re-downloaded msn and that still did not work. I then tried AppZapper and that also did not work.
    Does anyone have anything that can get rid of this?

    I had not looked there but no there is nothing to do with msn in these locations.
    I have just used spotlight to search for "messenger" and it has found a document called "Microsoft Messenger User Cache.Plist"
    I have herd of Plist files before when people have been having trouble with the dvd ejection. It sounds to me like this is where it will be stored. Should I delete this file or is it a dodgy move?
    Thanks

    Hi
    Try Mercury mercury.to/">http://www.mercury.to/
    Or aMSN amsn.sourceforge.net/">http://amsn.sourceforge.net/
    Both do video but no audio.
    If you want video and audio try looking at Skype.

  • Video won't run. telling me to update flash player. click on update for mac won't load?

    video won't run, telling me to update flash player, click on update for mac won't update. do i need to load flash player and is it ok for mac?

    Yes, it's fine for your Mac ...
    Most sites such as YouTube require the Flash plugin.
    Flash isn't a player per se, but a plugin.
    Sometimes uninstalling the current plugin then reinstalling new can help.
    Troubleshoot Flash Player | Mac OS
    Make sure and uninstall the old plugin first then restart your Mac.
    If you use Safari to view videos, from the Safari menu bar click Safari > Empty Cache
    Now try a video.

  • When receiving email, sometimes Tunderbird for Mac comes to the front of the screen. How can I stop this?

    When receiving email (with Thunderbird for Mac), I usually get the notification bubble on the upper right. But sometimes the entire Thunderbird window comes to the front, and interrupts what I'm working on. Is there a way to stop this?
    Thanks.

    I have never heard of it happening to anyone else, so it makes any suggestion rather difficult. I don't think anyone has a clue, hence the dearth a answer in the past days

    Hi Patrick,
    Can you please mention the version of Adobe Acrobat that you are using and on what OS version. Also mention whether this problem has started recently and was running fine earlier or is it a fresh install and has never worked for you.
    Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling the product after you started facing this issue.

  • .exe projector file for PC works fine, but extracted .hqx for Mac won't open when on CD

    I'm using Flash MX, AS 2, Projector 6, working on a PC.
    I saved two versions of my project -- one .exe for Windows and one .hqx for Mac.  The .exe works fine when burned onto a CD.  When opening the .hqx from a CD on a Mac, I got a message that the file is on a locked volume.  I discovered that the reason for this is that an .hqx is essentially a zipped file which has to be extracted, and when a file is extracted, the unzipped files are written onto the same location as the original.  When the original files are on a CD, Stuffit (Mac's zip extractor program) can't write onto that location.
    [So if anyone at Adobe looks at these forum posts, let me say that I think its absolutely ridiculous that the Mac version of Flash's projector files have to be extracted in order to be viewed!]
    To get around this problem, I saved the .hqx on my PC, put it on a portable hard drive and brought it over to a Mac (because Stuffit for PC converts it into an .exe for PC), and unzipped it.  When I'd test it on the portable hard drive or on a USB drive, the extracted file would work.  When I'd bring it back over to the PC and burn a CD with both versions on it, and then test that CD on the Mac, it wouldn't work.  Can anyone tell me why the extracted Mac version works on a hard drive, but not on a CD?  What do I have to do in order to make a Mac projector file work from a CD?

    Windows uses the FAT file system, Macs use the HFS file system. The two are not compatible. If you save a Mac projector file on a FAT file system, it won't be saved properly and it won't work. When you create a Mac projector from a Windows version of Flash, the file will be saved as a compressed .hqx file.
    Since you need to use a Mac to create a hybrid CD, when you move that .hqx file to the Mac, unstuff it and then use the resulting file for the CD. It will then run from the CD as expected.
