A compatible Yahoo Messenger for imac

I have friends on ym--I know apple has problems with YM; however, the old version 2.5.3 used to allow cam to work-now it does not. The other version 3.0 Beta YM allows cam for 2 minutes then it is off. To the viewer it states "disconnected" -to me it states "broadcasting no viewers" while I can see myself in cam window.
1. is there a better version/something I need to do?
2. I just use ym cuz friends are, is there another system I can download to allow me to join in their addresses-converse? I know YM is not the greatest

What kind of webcam are you using?
I am using YM as I am responding to you. Never had a problem using the webcam (built-in iSight) on any version of YM. Newer YM version has FREE phone calls now. It's free if you want to talk to the person who is IM'ing you. To call someone's actual phone (using a real phone #) it will cost ya!.
v3.0 beta build 120437
Any problems you are having w/YM, you will need to contact Yahoo!!!! IM customer support.
Good luck!

  • Need help with Yahoo Messenger for iMac webcam chat

    I'm trying to use Yahoo messenger webcam chat on my iMac.  The camera works, but no one can hear me.  My mic works with Facetime and Skype.  What do I need to change?  Thanks?

    Yes it does.  There are only two selections and I've tried each of them to no avail.  Is what I'm asking even possible on the Mac?  I've tried with a few different people and it's always the same problem:  Great picture, no sound.  Facetime and Skype work great, I'm just having problems with Messenger.  It's version 3.0.1 beta.  Perhaps that feature just doesn't work in Mac?
    Thanks for responding!  I was worried I'd asked a stupid question!

  • Display picture in messages totally  pixelated when seeing it with yahoo messenger for windows

    Hello,
    I'm using messages to chat with my yahoo messenger account  at work and yahoo messenger for windows at home.
    When I log into Yahoo with messages, my yahoo display picture is updated automatically with the one I have choose in messages.
    My problem is that this picture is totally pixelated when you see it on yahoo messenger for windows. It seems that Messages is changing its size.
    As the size in Yahoo messenger for windows is bigger it appears pixelated!
    If I choose no display picture in messages, the one I have choose with yahoo messenger for windows disappear when I'm logging with it.
    Is there a way that messages do not update the display picture each time I'm logging to Yahoo?
    I suppose that there is no solution to this problem but I wanted to be sure.
    Anyway thanks for your help.

    HI,
    Thanks for the Path.
    This does seem to show all the Recents from the Contacts App > My Card, the Login Pic and the Messages Buddy List pic.
    I think in Mountain Lion these were either separate items  or the .plist that is in the current place listed the app/location the pic was used.
    I have looked at the pictures in the folder (.png and thumbnail .tiffs) and the .plist and it does seem to be all the pics I have used in all three places over the last few months.
    The Yahoo account is logged in not through IMAgent that FaceTime and Messages use for other Accounts but from the IMServicePluginAgent.
    In Mountain Lion this used to list a Buddy Pic server as well as a straightforward login.
    Using Little Snitch I am not seeing that in Mavericks.
    Seems you may have to change your Pic on a web page for your Yahoo account.

  • Problem with Yahoo Messenger for Blackberry 10

    Hi Blackberry Team,
    I've recently encountered a problem with Yahoo Messenger 10.1.0.88 on my Blackberry Q10 running OS 10.1.0.4181 software. It had been working fine for like a month after I purchased this phone from the authorized shop in Thailand until a few days ago it started showing the message within seconds after signed-in: 'Your connectino to the instant messaging provider has been lost. You can wait for the connection to be re-established or close the application and try logging in later'.
    This is only when I'm on 3G cellular network. It works fine through Wi-Fi connection. 
    I did some research on website and found that the latest version of Yahoo Messenger for Blackberry is actually 10.1.1.16 released on Sep 30th, 2013 but, for some unknown reasons, my Blackberry World only shows the '10.1.0.88' (which already installed on my phone) as the latest version. 
    I really need this for work as I'm communicating with international bankers over yahoo. Please help look into this problem and get it fixed at your earliest possible. Thank you.

    I have the same problem with my z10 always unknown error it getting me crazy

    this is B.S.

    It has never not been available for Mac.

    Do a forum search.  This is dicsussed over and over and over and over and over and over and over again on these forums.
    Adobe is working on a versin that will not require any download at all to watch flash content.

    I can't download yahoo messenger for mac.. everytime i try, the downloads window says that it "cannot create file".. Why is that?

    Hi,
    That error message means that you are trying to download the file to a folder that you don't have access to write files to. Try changing the default Downloads location (via Safari Preferences) to your Desktop and retry the download.

  • Yahoo Messenger for Mac

    Why does photosharing and file transfer not work for Yahoo Messenger for Mac?

    Hi, tvpappy. On the Yahoo Messenger homepage, it's noted that v. 3.0 Beta requires at least os X 10.4. If you're still running 10.3.x (as the System Info below your post indicates), then that's why YM 3.0 Beta doesn't run on your machine.

  • Yahoo messenger for iphone

    hi guys i just got my new iphone and i have few questions...
    1) how big is 8GB? i mean how many songs/pictures can i have saved in my 8GB iphone?
    2) i want to have my yahoo messenger in my iphone, is there a way i can download it, maybe through itunes or something? please help me. i really need my YAHOO messenger sync in to my iphone!
    thanks guys

    Yahoo has not provided a Yahoo Messenger client or app that is iPhone compatible, but there are a number of 3rd party IM clients available via the App Store which allows for accessing a Yahoo IM account.
    How many songs and photos your iPhone can hold depends on the size of your songs and photos.
    Songs purchased via the iTunes Store are encoded via AAC. With AAC encoding, each minute is roughly one MB, so a 4 minute song will be roughly 4 MB in size. Using MP3 for the encoding when importing music from a music CD will use a little more space than AAC with the identical settings.
    Apple provides a rough estimate for the number of songs an iPod can hold based on AAC encoding with 1 MB of space taken up per each minute. The number of photos is based on an average size per photo which can fluctuate greatly depending on the type of digital camera and settings used when capturing photos.
    Edit - looks like Yahoo has provided an iPhone IM client which isn't named Messenger.

  • Yahoo Messenger for OS 8.6

    Please need help getting YIM to run on this computer. YIM 2.5.3 for OS 8.5-9.0 downloaded directly from Yahoo just freezes. The 2.5 download no longer exists on the Yahoo Asia site. I'm running 8.6 and CarbonLib 1.6 - can't find 1.5 to download. My Imac just crashed today and DESPERATELY need to get YIM up and running. Not interested in video or audio on YIM.
    Thank You for any help!!

    Hi Ranger.....It must be your lucky day. Someone told me once never to throw away my installers. I took their advice. I read your post and then went off in search of some burnt CD's I made a long time ago. Guess what I found. Yahoo Messenger 2.5 PPC installer. I used this version of Yahoo when I was running OS 8.6.
    Problem is....how the heck am I going to get it to you?. I've even stuffit for you. laughs. Waits to hear from you. Merry Xmas from Australia....s

  • Yahoo messenger for Mac stopped displaying Real names, showing only ID's

    Hello all,
    I'm using Yahoo messenger version 3.0.2. All of my listed contacts are shown their id's and can not see their real name or nick name. It's so frustrating to misfinding my friends from my list. Please help me out from it.
    According to yahoo messenger guide preference>appearance > tick nick name/first and last name. Unfortunately there is no Appearance option in left side.
    Thank you,
    Byambagerel

    HI,
    I only see IDs as I have not allowed the app Access to my Contacts app.
    I don't know enough about Yahoo App to say if the server can "push" real names or display names at you the way AIM does.

  • Yahoo messenger for Solaris 10

    Is yahoo messenger available for download for SOlaris 10 x86 machine ??? If yes let me know the URL for download and installation procedure .. very grateful for the help ..

    is there a client for YM phone on Solaris??
    I use Yahoo phone as my only phone and Win XP somehow refuses to work even after 4 re-installations and does not even show my network adapter. So, if I can find sth to work with Yahoo phone Solaris will be the only OS I need.
    BTW the nge0 works fine on Solaris and I am posting this from opensolaris.
    thanks everybody.
