Hey could do with a little help here,
I use Microsoft messenger for mac and for the past few days i have been unable to sign in, it attempts to log in for about a minute or two and then says "Sign in to microsoft messenger failed because the service is not available or you may not be connected to the internet" I am clearly connected to the internet. Messenger was working just a couple of days ago and all of a sudden i can't sign in! It would be greatly appreciated if you could help me out!

Cheers,
Frohike
 
Ok so i took your advice and installed Adium and now its saying "Connection error from Notification server: Writing error"

So now i'm thinking its my Mac thats stopping me using these. Maybe my system preferences or something? Anyway a little help on this would be fantastic!
 
Do you have PeerGuardian2 installed by chance? I had a similar problem after installing PeerGuardian2, Adium wouldnt connect to MSN. Disabling the Microsoft blocklist solved that problem immediately.
 
That error is common. I get it a few times a month. Prob the server where you are logging is restarting or something like that.

Also check if you have the latest version 6.0.2.

Once you have resolved the issue I would advise sticking with adium, It was recommended to me a few days ago and personal opinion but I think its one of the *mac must have's*.
