Why MSN Messenger always Hang up ?

I am using mac since few years and in start MSN messanger works very well and I was quite happy but after few months MSN always hang up on mac. Then I give up the MSN and use skype but recently some my clients push come on MSN for business discussion becoz they don't use Skype and many other my clients just use MSN . So I need it work smoothly on my MAC.
The problem is when ever I loging MSN It always hang up after 2 or 3 min of login. It sometime slow down the computer as well. I reinstall everything and even try this on my brand new mac air. It doesn't work at all. I am using MSN 8.0.1 and my OS is 10.7.3
Anyone can help me solve this ? I will highly appreciate.

YOur question is probably better asked on Microsoft's forums for their Mac products as it's their software you're having isses with:

  • 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.

  • MSN messenger always has me update and then closes sporatically...help!

    can anyone help?
    thanks,

    Hi Missy,
    You've reached the AppleWorks forum, a space for discussion of issues and 'how tos' concerning the Apple productivity application AppleWorks, not a forum for the general topic of 'how Apple computers work.'
    As your issue concerns MSN Messenger, a Microsoft product, you'll have a better chance of finding a solution in a forum (or 'newsgroup'—the term MS uses) for MSN Messenger at Microsoft's Mactopia site. The link will take you to the Messenger page at MS. There's are articles about Messenger and links to downloads. The Community link on the left will take you to the Newsgroups, one of which deals with Messenger:Mac. There's no newsgroup listed for MSN Messenger through.
    As your issue may also include the interaction between Messenger and the Mac OS, you might try posting in the Apple Discussions forum for the version of the OS you are using, but I'd check out the MS newsgroups first.
    Regards,
    Barry

  • Why does Safari always hang on opening a pdf?

    This is getting very old - Safari hangs consistently on opening pdfs. It stalls and then I get the 'quit unexpectedly' error. Safari also hangs on a normal quit and stalls then comes up with the 'quit unexpectedly' error.
    Does Apple not seem to know this? I have sent report after report on each hang and yet the problem is never addressed in a fix. I know many other mac users with the same issue.
    Generally, I like Safari and don't want to go to Firefox, but likely will have to if these issues don't get addressed by Apple.
    Any ideas???

    Given the vast majority of Mac owners do not have these problems (I must view at least 20 PDFs a day from Safari), it sounds like a configuration issue on your system.
    Can you post one of the Safari crash logs, I or someone else here may be able to help you further.
    Also, given this isn't actually a "Getting Online and Networking" issue, you might have more luck posting in the Safari discussion.

  • Why the msn messenger doesn't work on iphone

    why msn messenger doesn't work with my iphone

    M$ will never give code to people to compile it for the iPhone (M$ hates open source stuff) and they probably want people to use Windows Mobile, of which MSN is a feature.
    Mercury/aMSN may one day be ported to iPhone (when Apple does the SDK in Feb) and Apple may even do an iChat for it. You can still use web-based communicators in the meantime.
    Also, you may be surprised to know your iPhone functions as a phone - why not call the people you wanna talk to?

  • Why I cant use the MSN messenger in my mac?

    I just downloaded the newest version about MSN messenger 5.0. But I cant sign in my msn messenger. I try many times,but it always popup one window says:"Sign in to Microsoft Messenger failed because the service is not available or you ma not be connected to he internet."My internet connection is no problem i think, because I use one windows system, the MSN messenger works. How to solve this problem, I need you help. cheers.

    I take it you mean the latest Microsoft Messenger, which is version 5 and a step up from the previous MSN Messenger 4.
    Are you signing in with a Hotmail.com address, or do you have an alternate company address (ie: Mac.com, etc)? If so, you need to register this address with the Microsoft Net Passport system to allow your "third party" email address to access the MSN system. Hotmail addresses are allowed access by default.

  • Why does MSN Messenger keep crashing?

    I don't know why, but whenever i try to update to MSN Messenger 8 (or the latest, 8.0.1) It will install fine, but then when i go to launch it, it immediately crashes. Version 7 has been flaky lately as well, sometimes logging in and working fine, other times stopping in mid-login saying i'm logged in at another location. Yet i can sign in via the browser version, then re-login and then it's fine. Thanks in advance!

    Thanks for the replies. Vious187, I'm running a 13" Macbook Core2Duo 2.4 Ghz. It came with 10.5 installed. I've had this problem since version 8 of MSN Messenger for Mac came out. I've repaired permissions, deleted preferences, just about anything i can think of, and it still crashes immediately after it starts up.

  • Why does my FaceTime and skype always hang up when someone try's to answer?

    EVer since yesterday my FaceTime Skype and ooovoo have been acting weird everytime I call someone on there it always hangs up right when they answer.

    Go to the Contacts app and add yourself as a contact. Make sure you add the email address that you associated with Messages. It is by default the Apple ID email address

  • Why my new iphone 5 always hang?

    i got my new Iphone5 last week. i found that it always hang, non of the buttons can do anything. i need to wait for some time, then only i can switch off and turn it on again.

    The troubleshooting basics are restart/reset and restore. I would begin with that.

    If neither of those things work, I would schedule an appointment at the Genius bar. 

  • MSN Messenger on E65 (3 subscriber) - help, please...

    I'm having trouble with signing in to MSN Messenger on my new E65.
    I've managed to make it work a couple of times but there doesn't seem to be any pattern to it.
    It goes like this:
    I start the sign-in process
    It asks me to select an access point
    I select one
    It goes to a screen saying "Verifying User Name and Password"
    Then it says "Signed in Successfully"
    At that point, anyone who has me on their contact list can see that I'm online.
    Unfortunately, I then get another message saying "select an access point". I can't enter in any messages, I can't see my contacts list. There are only two options at this point. I can select an access point (a waste of time, since I'm connected already - all this does in effect is disconnect me and starts the cycle again) or I can click "back" which disconnects me anyway. There's a third option - do nothing - which just results in me being cut off anyway after a few seconds.
    Anyone else experienced this or, more to the point, found out how to fix it?

    This was good point mentioned by someone (access point is always prompted) So i trust that statement. You don't accidentally get data transfer costs (which is very positive indeed)
    Why don't you keep MSN always active in background?
    In device there is only general setting, asked or same one used to everything. I've just noticed prompt is the best (even a bit annoying sometimes). Again, problem is in application if connection does not stay up (prompted only when connecting)
    Though there are bugs in mail also. Connection just wont stay up, have to connect again and again and again..
    Cancel will definetally cause problems if target is to connect

  • Bb, aim and msn messenger prob

    I have a 3 week old 8120 pearl (t-mobile) and it already has problems. Often when I'm chatting w ppl their messages doesnt come up on the screen, even though I can see that they have written something and the indicator is blinking. I have to press "end conversation" and then open it again to see what they have written. Why?

    Hi again Vicky!
    Don't worry...you won't end up hating ur Mac promise! You will honestly have a few things that might not work as well on a Mac as pc...like MSN messenger no video, etc. But after a while you will notice there are many things on a Mac to keep you from ever going back to pc again...promise!
    Ok it's tough to know what to do honestly because you're having a problem accessing the site with two different browsers. And the rest of your internet is working fine. Strange! I'm not even sure what I can suggest??? One thing you might try is you said you reinstalled Messenger but the related files were probably left on your Mac. If you would go to your Users/Library/Preferences folder look for anything there related to MSN messenger and trash it. It's probably something like com.msnmessenger.plist...something like that. Just look though that folder and you will find at least one file with msnmessenger in the name for sure. Don't worry...these are your preferences. If they get corrupt they will corrupt the performance of your app. One of the first things you can always do on a Mac is to trash your preference (plist) file and see if that helps. Beware of course you lose your preferences...but usually you can fix them back easy enough.
    Let's just try that for now and see if it helps messenger or not. Your Mac is new and sounds like you got everything working well...but I'm not sure right now what could prohibit you from accessing Hotmail on both browsers...
    Let me know,
    Reg
    PS - Good job with Skype. Yes this is a very popular choice with Mac users because the app runs on Mac and pc...great!

  • External storage icon comes up when I launch MSN messenger?

    When I launch MSN an icon representing an external storage device always comes up on the desktop. Why is this happening? It also happenes when I launch Firefox.
    Thanks for the help.

    Hi, Steve. Welcome to the Discussions.
    1. Have you installed the MSN Messenger and FireFox apps within your Applications folder, or are you running them from within disk images you've downloaded to your desktop? What you describe almost sounds like you're opening a disk image on the desktop, which mounts the image as a virtual hard drive ("storage icon" per your description).
    1.1. What's the name of the "storage icon"?
    1.2. What happens if you double-click the "storage icon"? For example, I'd expect it would open in Finder, so what is contained therein?
    2. You might want to search or post on the "Microsoft Messenger for Mac" group you can find on the Microsoft Mac Support - Newsgroups page. These are Google Groups with active participation from MS product users, including a variety of expert users.
    I don't mean to send you somewhere else, but I've found numerous answers there for folks with questions related to MS products. Accordingly, it has often proved to be the first, best place to look for answers to questions such as you are asking.
    Good luck!

  • When i Boot up, why is "Preview" always open ?

    Hi, i know i dont need to do it, but when i shut down, i have been making sure that all the Programs i have been using are Shut Down, getting rid of the white dots in the Dock.
    I know that Finder is always there and cannot be Shut Down, but i Shut Down "Preview" and it is always opened up again when i Start my Lap Top up again.
    I guess it isnt that important to know, but why does PREVIEW always OPEN automatically when i Boot Up ?.

  • MSN Messenger stops Creative Mediasource Pla

    My 24 Li've External card works perfectly well with Media source player - until - I log on to MSN Messenger v.7. Then my PC tells me there is no sound device installed. Device manager tells me the device is working probably. I am fed up using System Restore. Any help guys?

The loss of sound is frequent, on booting up. Once it is on it does not "fail" whilst in use.

    ?The Sound Blaster is always shown as "working properly" even when it is not?

  • Acrobat connect pro Vs msn messenger

    Hi,
    I am making business plan an online digital teaching school. I wanted to center my virtual classroom tools around acrobat connect pro.
    Someone i hired for advises just told me that msn messenger can do most of what acrobat connect does (pertaining to virtual classroom):
    voip, whiteboarding, file sharing, screen sharing, screen controlling, application sharing, etc.
    On top of that msn messenger is free.
    Do you think that his analysis lacks something? I mean it looks a bit beautiful to have all these for free while i would normally pay acrobat connect
    45$/month/host !! If i can remove 540$/year on my business plan iam surely excited to do, but i need to be cautious and ask what would i miss? What kind of pitfalls to anticipate if i switch msn for connect on my business plan?
    Simply put how would you compare connect pro to msn messenger, why would connect pro be a best suited tool for my virtual class then msn?
    Thank you for your inputs as they will help me make a better business choice.

    I'm having a similar issue with my iMac. I was connecting fine to all microsoft services, and suddenly, with no change to the mac (that I'm aware of,) I can't connect. The problem extends beyond adium though. I cannot connect to hotmail, or login.live.com either. I just get network timeouts. It has nothing to do with my router, or dns, as my girlfriends macbook are setup on the same wireless router, with the same dns, and she can connect fine.
    Things were even stranger with I thought to try a web-based proxy to connect to hotmail, with success.
    It almost seems like my iMac has ports firewalled, even though it is turned off. Do you have a similar experience?
