Yahoo and MSN Messenger in iChat

Hi
I want to use iChat for Yahoo and MSN Messenger. I want to use it mainly for the Video chat feature in iChat.
thanks

Hi,
If you can get the Yahoo IM app for Mac to work (It is still in Beta and has been for Years) then it is the only direct way.
Tokbox is a Web Browser Based Chat site that allows you to use your Camera. (It uses the Flash Plug-in)
It has the advantage in that you can link in your existing Buddy Lists.
Mebeam is a less formal site that does similar (Lees the Buddy List Linking)
The MSN App will only Video Chat if you are linked to the correct Microsoft Server (I forget the name exactly)
ProteusX and Adium are both essentially text Based Mac Apps that can join multiple IM Services.
I believe Adium now uses a link to MeBeam to do Video Chats (I have not tested this)
See my Comments to Mackural about what is possible with GoogleTalk names.

  • Yahoo and MSN messenger sounds.

    Hi all,
    Wondering if anyone has had this probem, Sounds(alerts) on Yahoo and MSN messengers have both stopped working on my mac. I also run virtual PC on my mac and am getting a message that "Virtual PC is unable to start that Mac audio system a newer version of Mac OS may solve this prioblem". Strange because I am running latest version. Any help would be great. Thanks

    Hi Nikkisixx2,
    Welcome To The Apple Discussion Pages.
    Ok If in System Preferences > Sound > Sound Effect tab the volume for sound effects/alerts is on and high enough to hear - then go to your Hard Drive/Library/Preferences and delete com.apple.audio.DeviceSettings.plist

  • Yahoo and MSN messenger problems

    Hi,
    I have a Blackberry Curve 8900, and since I have upgrade MSN and Yahoo messengers to v 2.5.27, I have the same problem with both of them.
    When I try to send a picture, I get the message: "Untaught exception: UI engine accessed without holding the event lock" , and I'm logged off automatically.
    How can I fix this, or downgrade to the previous version?
    Thank you

    this works for me:
    edit:
    /Applications/Yahoo! Messenger.app/Contents/Resources/Default.ymStyle/main.js
    look for line 417:
    body.scrollTop = body.scrollHeight - document.clientHeight;
    change to:
    body.scrollTop = body.scrollHeight;
    hope it works for you

  • IChat 6.0 on lion and MSN messenger

    With iChat 6.0 we all can use jabber , is there a way to add MSN messenger in ichat without use external plugin like transcript from other jabber account?

    It should be noted that since iChat now supports IM plug-ins, there may be a third-party plu-gin of MSN's protocol in the future. But I doubt it will come from Apple.

  • How to block yahoo messenger and msn messenger

    Hi everybody hope u r doing find,
    please I want to block user from using yahoo messenger and live messenger; for that I have an ASA 5510 like perimeter equipment, all internet trafic passing through this ASA; in the same time, I also want to block internet traffic what I did by blocking http and https traffic, but I thought that by blocking these two types of traffic, it will also block yahoo messenger and live messenger but it is not the case
    I am looking forward to hearing you.
    Thx

    Inspect IM supports MSN Messenger 7.0 (Build 7.0.0816), Yahoo Messenger 7.0.0.437.
    The option was to use http inspection to drop msn packets using port 80.
    We provided this config. for the customer and he confirmed that it works.
    regex msn-messenger "^VER [1-9] MSNP[1-9]+.*\x0d\x0a.*MSNMSGR.*\x0d\x0a"
      class-map type inspect http match-all http-msn
       match request method post
       match request body regex msn-messenger
    policy-map type inspect http http-msn
       class http-msn
         reset log
    policy-map global_policy
        class inspection_default
         inspect http http-msn
    I hope it helps.

  • Microsoft Messenger and MSN Messenger

    Does anyone know how to use Webcam oR Video Call in Microsoft Messenger or MSN Messenger in MAC OS X Leopard? Coz i cannot fing any button for it. Thx before.

    In a word, you can't. Unsupported. Adium does a poor attempt with a plugin that only works if others have the same plugin; and I am told that iChat will work, but this is a complex set up if you want MSN.
    To the rescue comes aMSN, or Alvaro's MSN an Open Source application that will work with a webcam although sometimes it is a little creaky.
    I note that your "location" is shown as GMT +7, which sounds awfully close to here. If you are trying to use any other languages than English (particularly Thai) there are problems. Let me know as I have an earlier version for the purpose.

  • MSN Messenger on iChat 3.0

    Hi All,
    Just wondering if anyone can help me to integrate my msn messenger contact list into iChat. I' have set up a jabber account via spark and attempted to login into jabber via iChat but when i do so, my contacts are not visible. Also when i login in with jabber, my contacts are messed up, for all of them, it stats, awaiting authorization, which never changes for any. I'm wondering if i am overlooking something....any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks! !

    Hi Sundeep24,
    Sounds like you have not sorted a Jabber Server with what are called Transports.
    iChat can use the Jabber side to only if the Jabber Server you are using has the required Transport and you have elected/registered to use it.
    See the first three links here
    1) is how to set up the Jabber side that you probably don't need.
    2) is how to set up Transports. (AllForces link)
    3) is a List of Public servers and what transports and other features they offer.

  • MSN Messenger on iChat

    Hello all.
    Just got my first Mac and I'm still a little lost.
    On windows I always used MSN Messenger. All my friends use it.
    I already downloaded it for Mac, but it is very limited in comparison. The biggest problem is that it does not support video.
    I was wondering if there's a way to talk to MSN Messenger users using iChat.
    If it isn't possible, maybe there's another software that will do it.
    thanks

    Hi
    For MSN look at aMSN(video but no audio) http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/14200
    And Mercury(video but no audio) http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/14970
    To use MSN with jabber see http://allforces.com/2005/05/06/ichat-to-msn-through-jabber/ no video or audio.
    Your best bet between Mac and PC is Skype

  • Mac and msn messenger

    I am a new maccer wondering how to video chat with my friends who are on msn messenger. Is it poss? i notice the newest mac messenger version does not support it. Is this right? Do i need to run Windows?

    Cipha, unfortunately, MS hadn't seen fit to make MSM compatible with iChat, nor have then made the Mac version of MSM capable of video. Also unfortunately, the iSight isn't going to work under Windows. However, there are ways to have video chats with people on Windows (iChat and AIM 5.9 or Trillian -- but not Triton -- as well as others). You will be able to get more information and help if you go to the iChat forum at this link. HTH.

  • MSN Messenger through iChat?

    Hi guys, am a new iMac user and I just wanted to know if there was a way to setup msn messenger, maybe as jabber, in iChat and how to do so.
    The only reason to do this is to be able to use the great iSight with my friends who use msn messenger since msn messenger for mac doesnt have such an option for iSight.
    Am currently using aMSN, which provides support for iSight but it doesnt allow sound, so i cant hear them and they cant hear me.
    Any suggestion?
    Thank you.

    You may wish to also cross post in one of the iChat AV Forums where the iChat users hang out.
    Good luck

  • Can I get my MSN Messenger on iChat?

    Hi,

  • Macbook Pro built-in iSight in Adium and MSN Messenger?

    All of my contacts (about 100 or so) have MSN messenger accounts. Is there a way for me to use my built-in iSight as a webcam in Adium or MSN Messenger? It just seems pointless otherwise since I only know 2 or 3 other people with .mac or AIM accounts that I could chat to via iChat.
    Thanks
