How do I download Windows Live or MSN Messenger on my Tiger OS X Mac??

... the title pretty much sums it up.

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
MSN Messenger on the Mac is pretty antiquated, and there is very little more than text chat support for it. oPhoneX has better support for video, and so does iChat videochat with AIM for Windows but not on MSN except with its capability to do Jabber which also is text only support. Skype has crossplatform support as well for videochat on its own network.
If you have an Intel Mac Boot Camp and Parallels may support video chat on Windows, though I haven't tried it yet. You can ask on the Boot Camp forum if anyone has tried, if your Mac supports it.

HT203097 Sync windows live contacts and iphone 5s

Please help. I am unable to synch my window live contacts (2012 version) with my new iPhone 5s 16G with iOS 8.1.2. Only two of the 70 or so contacts come across.
Thinking something might be off on the MS side, I exported all the contacts to CSV, removed all duplicates and issues, deleted the original contacts in the windows live contact section, and then reimported the updated CSV file.
However, after attempting this, no luck. Again, only two contacts came across - one of which is no longer in MS Live Contacts.
I have not been able to find any thing on this point in the apple help. The MS help was for older versions. And the only online forum I saw with this topic was forum techguy and he said it could not be done.
Please give advise on how to proceed.

Hi Carolyn F,
I'm sorry to hear you are having issues with the contact sync on your iPhone. I also apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the exact configuration you currently have set up on the Windows side, but if you are able to get your contacts into Microsoft Outlook, you may find the option outlined in the following article helpful:

After attempting to sync my iphone contacts with my windows live contact i now have no contacts showing on my iphone

i was messing about with my itunes contacts and attempted to sync all my windows live contacts with my iphone, i dont know what setting i have changed but i now have no contacts showing on my iphone, i have tried to restore my iphone but this failed.
Cheers for your Help!

The sync process for contact info and calendar events is a bidirectional or true sync process. You can't transfer only contact info and calendar events available on your iPhone only to the supported application on your computer. Contact info and calendar events available in the supported address book and calendar app on your computer and contact info and calendar events available on your iPhone will be synced so the info available on both is identical.
If you have a MM account, you need to sync the supported address book on your computer with your MM online address book first. After confirming your MM online address book matches the supported address book on your computer, follow this by enabling over the air syncing for contact info with your MM account on your iPhone. This will erase all existing contact info on your iPhone and replace it with your MM online address book info, and the same for calendar events.
If you have contact info available on your iPhone that is not available with the supported address book on your computer, you need to sync your iPhone's address book with the supported address book on your computer via the iTunes sync process first. Follow this by syncing the supported address book on your computer with your MM online address book. After confirming the supported address book on your computer matches your MM online address book, enable over the air syncing for contact info with your MM account on your iPhone. After this, your iPhone's address book will be kept synchronized with your MM online address book which is kept synchronized with the supported address book on your computer and vice-versa.

Link Windows LIve Contacts

Hello, I just upgraded my laptop to windows 8.1
Prior to upgrade I have an access database that linked (used as read only) my windows live contacts from outlook.
Now that I have upgraded and reinstalled everything I can no longer link the windows live contacts folder in my access database.
I do recall having to install a fix or add-in that allowed this but cannot locate.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
Note: I can link standard contacts folder. Maybe there is a way to sync a standard contacts folder with windows live contacts.
not using business contact manager please

I have 5 iphones on one account and all contacts have merged together after the update

I have 5 iPhones and they are all on the family plan, so we all use the same account and now all of our contacts have merged together after the update to ios5. What do I do?

your iCloud storage isnt part of your phone, that is a back up for your phone, you have to delete things on your phone, so I recommend backing up your photos to your computer or iCloud since im sure thats whats taking up all your storage, then delete the photos on your phone and then update your phone using iTunes on your computer.

Satellite R630-14J - after Skype update web cam has disappeared

Update to Skype 6.6. the Webcam disappeared. not visible in device Manager. multiple Downloads of web cam Drivers don't execute. checked bios. Rebooted machine multiple times.
What to do to install web cam Software again?

Hi
To be honest I cannot understand why webcam device disappears from device manager list after skype update.
I mean even if there would be a software problem (compatibility issues), the webcam should be listed in device manager even as an unknown device.
However, by default, certain devices are not shown in the list. To include hidden devices in Device Manager display, click View and select Show Hidden Devices.
However, I assume you are using Win 7 system.
> multiple downloads of webcam drivers don't execute
On Toshiba EU driver page you can find the webcam software.
Maybe new Skype version damage something in registry. Would recommend uninstalling the Skype firstly. Download and install the repair tool like CCleaner. Clean registry and reboot the notebook. Now try to install the webcam software once again. Reboot the unit and check if you can use the webcam using installed webcam too.

Where did the "plus" button go to add contacts. It disappeared after I updated my phone.

Where did the "plus"button go on my iphone to add contacts? It disappeared after I updated my phone.

The iTunes app cannot disappear ... it may be on a different screen.
Regardless, you can force it to your home screen by doing:

Try:

- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.

Windows Live contacts problem

Hi,
I have a Nokia N73 and I wanted to update my Windows Live application (Menu --> Applications --> Download!). The download and the installation succeed, untill Windows Live is synchronizing my contacts. It starts at 3 %, then 10 % and then I have to wait for a minute of 10 and finally it says: 100 %.
So Windows Live (1.0.9000) didn't synchronize my contacts, because when I'm signed in, 0 contacts are online and 0 contacts are offline...
Strange, isn't it? How to fix this?

BIS is basically just another email client...it polls your email sever for things that need to come to the BB and pushes those to the BB. If you have another email client running (e.g., Outlook) and configure it to delete messages from the server when it does it's Send/Receive, then those messages won't be on the server for BIS to retrieve and push to your BB. It's basically a timing thing...BIS polls (per documentation) every 15 minutes. If you have your Outlook getting mail every 5 minutes, then there would be 10 minutes worth of emails that Outlook would have removed before BIS could get them and bring them to your BB. You need to configure Outlook so that emails are on the server when BIS makes it's attempt...many have found that using the setting in Outlook (or other email clients) to leave messages on the server for 1 day to be sufficient. Many email providers, however, impose restrictions on how long you can leave things on the server...you'd need to check with them to make sure you are in compliance.
Hope that helps!

Cant sync windows live contacts on macbook

hi,
i wanna sync my windows live account for saving contacts and calendars on my macbook pro i somehow managed to connect mail application with windows live , on calendars i have registered it but it is not working , in calendars i cant see windows or exchange under the calendars bar , atleast in conatcts i can see exchange under groups but there is a thunder symbol beside it

It won't work on your Mac, Sync access to .live accounts is not available from Microsoft, it is available for portable devices (phones etc) and that is why you are in this situation.

Home Not Updating After Skype Update

After trying to update my Skype to the latest version (7.0.85.102), my Skype Home page stops being able to update. It doesn't tell me it's unavailable, it just doesn't update it. It also doesn't show anyone's profile pictures there, which is one way for me to know it's not working.
I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling with no help. Tried looking up previous solutions to this issue and found the way to test it is by going to https://apps.skype.com/home in Internet Explorer and that just shows a blue loading circle in the middle of the screen and never fully loads. From my understanding, Skype being able to access this page from IE is how it gets its updates now so the fact that IE can't load it means it won't work.
The next logical step then would be to try compatibility tests with my IE browser to see if it'll load the page then, however after trying that out there's still no results. After that, the next step would be to make sure IE is updated. Now, my system is running Windows 8 Pro and was given out by my university with our laptops using a Volume Liscense, meaning I can't update to Windows 8.1 and so I can't update to IE11. As far as I can tell, my IE10 is as it should be (version: 10.0.9200.17148 ), but yet here I am still facing this issue.
So far, the only way I've been able to resolve this issue is reverting back to Skype 6.21. I haven't tried other versions, that's just the version I was using before I updated and going back to it causes no issues with the Skype Home. I'd really like to be able to update Skype though, especially with the new look it has, so if there's any way to fix this that someone knows of it'd be very helpful to me and everyone else having this issue or will have this issue.
Thanks!

Try this:
Reset all Internet Explorer settings:
