Can't VoiceChat or VideoChat on Yahoo with Messages Beta

I can send and receive messages with the Yahoo account (though I can't seem to accept incoming files but am able to send files), but whenever I want to voicechat or start a video call on Messages, It doesn't let me. I'm running the latest version of Lion and have all the latest updates. Any ideas on what it could be? Thank you in advance for your reply (replies).

Hi,
I have just launched Yahoo on my Snow Leopard Mac and then logged in with  a different Name in Messages beta.
The Buddy list does not show any green Audio or Video icon to me from th Yahoo for Mac Login.  (even when I set the Yahoo for Mac to Stream the Video pic).
Nor can I "call" from the Yahoo for Mac App to Messages (the option at the bottom of the Buddy list is greyed Out as is the option in a Text Chat window).
I can't see how you are having Audio Chats with your Windows Buddies.
What App is your girlfriend using ?

  • Macbook can't activate the camera after install the message beta.

    Macbook can't activate the camera after install the message beta. I'd tried to uninstall the message beta, macbook still can't activate the rear camera in iChat. But the camera still can work in Skype or face time. Why?

  • TS4196 Anyone else having problems with messages beta not detecting facetime hd camera?

    I searched the web , but couldn't find anyone else with the problem I am having , I'm using a 2.4 GHz i5 macbook pro , downloaded the beta for messages but lost facetime camera it displays this message (This computer does not support video chats.)  i just can't get it to work properly with messages.
    Thanks in advance.

    HI,
    As I intimated Messages can either Invoke FaceTime for Video Chats with those people (Contacts) that you can iMessage.
    It can also do the iChat Video.
    If your Buddies only have iChat then you have to have a Screen Name if you don't already have one.
    I will state this another way as well.
    In Messages beta menu > Preferences > Accounts you have at least two "Accounts" once you have entered your Apple ID
    One of these is the Bonjour option (Runs a Buddy list like iChat used to - see Window Menu if Logged in)
    The other is the iMessage account (your Apple ID)
    It is possible that your also have some iChat Accounts from before and these may be listed.
    They could be AIM or Jabber Logins (And both those type are effectively sub-divided)
    If you do have other Accounts and they have the tick box in "Enable this Account" then they will appear in the Window Menu as a list with Keystroke listed next to them.
    These can be used to dispaly the Buddy Lists much like iChat.
    By default though they care gathered in to one list (See the Preferences > General Section for Unlinking them)
    @mac.com and @me.com ending names from Apple are valid AIM login names (Some people may find an MobileMe issued @me.com account does not work if it has run out).
    Facebook and Google Mail IDs are valid Jabber IDs (Providing you enable the "Talk" or "Chat" option in the relevant Account Settings.
    If your Buddy logs into AIM with their Valid name then you should use a AIM valid name.
    If they use a Jabber valid name then you use a Jabber valid name.

  • I just got the newest macbook air and it came with messages beta, how do i get rid of it?

    I just got the newest macbook air and it came with messages beta, how do i get rid of it?

    If the MBair has Mountain Lion installed then iChat has been replaced with Messages. (It's no longer in beta).

  • How do you use multiple apple id's with messages beta?

    With the wife and myself each having our own apple Id's for imessage because of multiple iphones/ipads, how do we make messages beta on the mac work for us?  I tried logging in as me when I installed it and it works just fine with me messaging her and her back to me but how do I log out from me and log in as her if she were the one sitting at the mac?  I don't see anything that lets me do that.

    hmm, that's a trick one! what I would do is go to Messages>preferences>accounts and then select imessages and then select account details and then sign out. Then your wife will need to sign in with her apple id.
    hope this helps!!
    let me know if that works because I've never actually tried it.
    simply adding both of your accounts to be reached at will prove to be faulty because when you reply you can only reply with the one email address. And even if you switch caller id's it probably still won't work. So I think my method would be the easiest way to do that at this time. 

  • Sync old imessages from iPhone with Messages Beta?

    Alright I'm using Messages Beta and absolutely love it. Everything works fine and all, but just one thing - is there a possibility to sync OLD messages and conversations from my iPhone to my Messages Beta? Basically I want all threads and messages that I have on my iPhone to appear on my Messages Beta.
    Anyone know?
    I'm sure there's gonna be a feature like that in iTunes once Mountain Lion is released... but perhaps someone already knows a trick
    Cheers
    iPhone 4, iOS 5.1

    Hi,
    Messages beta and using an Apple ID as the Caller ID on the Phone is what gets the iMessages sent from the phone to be synced.
    That is to say, that any Phone Number to Phone Number message sent before cannot be synced to Mesages Beta.
    Nor can current ones.
    I must admit to not using my phone enough to know any tricks about forwarding a whole message somewhere else either in Messages on the Phone or via email.
    EDIT !
    Actually find Contact/Message on phone.
    Highlight to go to the message or conversation.
    Hit Edit top right
    Select those IMs you want to Send somewhere.
    Chose Forward at bottom.
    Type in Contact (I used the Apple ID I use in Messages)
    The select Messages get sent as one IM to Messages.
    (I tested with several IMs from my carrier that only have one side of conversation)

  • I can't sync my calendar on Yahoo with my iPhone using iCloud.

    I have set-up the iCloud, and it shows as active on my iPhone (iOS 5). The calendar items from my Yahoo calendar showed up on my phone before I upgraded to iOS 5, but they don't show now.
    Suggestions?

    I had a similiar problem, with my multiple devices.  I open iTunes and when all devices were connected I went to the info section on each device.  Under info I checked the sync calandars. Under that I click all calanders. I then did the apply in low right. I then did the sync function and it fixed it for me.  You have to do this for each device.
    I also checked the device (ipad,Iphone) themselves and change the calander selection to NO Catagory.  Hope this helps.

  • I am having trouble downloading the new outlook mail.It returns error message about a sync services agent, database daemon etc. Also, I Can send an email but it returns with message: "message could not be sent." Any suggestions for this Apple novice?

    I try and download the new Outlook update and it says I have to close sync services agent and others.I do that,or 'think' I do but it doesn't close.

    PS - have found other posts indicating that clips smaller than 2s or sometimes 5s, or "short files" can cause this. Modern style editing often uses short takes ! Good grief I cannot believe Apple. Well I deleted a half a dozen short sections and can export, but now of course the video is a ruined piiece of junk and I need to re-do the whole thing, the sound etc. which is basically taking as much time as the original. And each time I re-do it I risk again this lovely error -50 and again trying to figure out what thing bugs it via trial and error instead of a REASONABLE ERROR MESSAGE POINTING TO THE CLIP IT CAN'T PROCESS. What a mess. I HATE this iMovie application - full of BUGS BUGS BUGS which Apple will not fix obviously, since I had this product for a few years and see just hundreds of hits on Google about this error with disappointed users. Such junk I cannot believe I paid money for it and Apple does not support it with fixes !!!
    If anyone knows of a GOOD reasonably priced video editing program NOT from APPLE I am still looking for suggestions. I want to do more video in future, but obviously NOT with iMovie !!!

  • Can't get smart mailboxes to work with "message has flag = color"

    I'm trying to set up a Smart Mailbox that will find all the messages to which I've assigned a green flag.  This should be easy, right?
    Unfortunately, this isn't working -- I definitely have messages with green flags in my inbox, but they're not being collected into the smart mailbox. 
    I've also tried this:
    but it doesn't work either.
    Is this broken in Mavericks?  Am I doing something wrong?

    Re Eric: Arggh -- the first image (which went into the comment form but didn't show up) was of the "create smart mailbox" dropdown, which tested "match all rules: message has flag = green".  The second image tested "match all rules: message is flagged & message has flag = green".
    Re William: I'd like to have one smart mailbox for green flags and another for purple flags.  The colors here were just meant to be examples.

  • Why can't I open some Pdf files with Acrobat Beta?

    I am using Acrobat.com Beta,and I don't have too many problems with converting to Pdf files, but opening some files that are already Pdf is does not work.I am told to download them ,and afterwards Itry to open them without success.Is there an answer out there?

    I'm sorry you're having trouble.Special PDF files such as PDF portfolios or secured PDF files or password protected source files cannot be previewed on Acrobat.com.
    Please note that not being able to preview a file should not interfere with the successful viewing of the file once downloaded.
    Are you able to open and view PDFs on your desktop? What happens if you try to download the file from Acrobat.com in a different browser?

  • How to setup reply with message

    how to setup the "reply with message" feature on the iphone5

    This feature is automatically enabled on the iPhone 5. When you get a call you will see the "swipe up" icon next to the "slide to answer", when you sail up you will have the option to reply with text message.
    There are only three messages to choose from but you can change them at Settings > Phone > Reply with message > you can then overwrite the existing text options.

  • I can't uninstall Message Beta

    When I try to uninstall Messages Beta by clicking on the "Uninstall" option under the Messages menu, I get the dialog box that asks me if I'm sure and that I want iChat reinstalled.  It then goes off to find some software and comes back with a message that the software is unvailable.  Doesn't say what software.  But that's it!  I'm stuck with Message Beta which I can't use because the Share Screen option isn't working for me.

    Hi,
    The Messages Beta is supposed to keep iChat 6.0.1 somewhere so that when you use the Uninstall Option it gets put back.
    (So it is iChat it s trying to find.)
    If you have Time Machine  I would open up Applications folder and go back until you find iChat (and no Messages) in Applications and then Restore.

    I using mozilla firefox so long times but it just get problem today because i can't type in english words but i can type in thai and some buttons is not english but it's other alphbets that i can't read and it's happening with yahoo and friendster and not sure for other website

    Same problem with the mouse, but with the mouse I can leave the cursor in place in the text field and move to the keyboard to type. As long as the cursor is in the field it stays editable.
    The problem with the pen is it's in my hand all of the time. I just flip it up under my thumb against my palm to type. So, as soon as I move the pen, the field goes away and I can't type in it. Hoping this is making sense.
    My tablet does have the touch function too, and I just found out I can use my finger to tap in the text field, then type. I guess that'll be my solution since I prefer not to leave a mouse set up on this iMac.
    I'm thinking now that this is just a problem with the pen itself, and nothing to do with iPhoto. So glad to have this figured out! I really like iPhoto '11! So much easier for me, a simple P&S gal, than Aperture 3. I use iPhoto Library Manager too and love it!
    Thanks so much! Debbie
