Does iSight work with Yahoo Messenger?

Before I buy, can anybody tell me does iSight work with Yahoo Messenger? Thanks.

It does for me (as well as Yahoo! Messenger for Mac works for anyone.)
Take a look at the responses to mike jones6's thread, iSight Compatability? The responses there will give you a more expanded answer your question.
If you have more specific questions after reading this thread, post back here, and we will be happy to try to help further.
Depending on what you want to do with Yahoo, searching iSight Discussions for "Yahoo" will give MANY threads that may be of interest. One example: Compatibility of cams

  • Can't get web cam to work with Yahoo messenger

    I can't get my web cam to work with my Yahoo messenger but it opens up with the Cam assistant thats all it will do.
    Can someone help me with this problem and get it working with Yahoo messenger?

    Hello
    Before you start MSN disable Camera Assistant Software. When MSN starts try please to check cam functionality under Audio and Video Setup. On step 3 you will have Webcam Setup.
    Please select there Chicony USB 2.0 Camera.
    The camera should start and in test window you should have picture.
    Can you use it now?

  • Web Cam does not work for yahoo messenger

    Hi,
    I down loaded a s/w MacCleanse, it kinda deleted a lot of files from my mac book air after which the web cam stopped working on yahoo messenger. I checked Ichat the cam works perfectly but does'nt with messenger. Does any one have a clue on how to fix this..

    from my experience, attempting to use two programs that allow the use of the camera will render it unusable on the second program attempting to use it. So, if you started iChat first, then forgot to quit the program, and are now trying to use Yahoo Messenger, then you must quit iChat first and it should work.
    Not unless your cam is really broken?

  • How do I get my WEBCAM to work with YAHOO Messenger!!??

    Someone please help. I have been trying for ages to get a webcam to work on Yahoo messenger but to no avail. I recently purchased a new webcam that stated it was usable with MAC OSX.
    Still Yahoo does not seem to give me any option to broadcast my webcam. I was using Yahoo 2.5 before and I just downloaded and started to use Yahoo 3.0......still nothing. All outgoing webcam options are grayed out" on any of the yahoo messenger menues.
    I used to go in the chatrooms on yahoo and be able to view and be viewed on webcam. Now that I switched to an ibook with OSX...I CAN DO NONE OF THAT anymore and there seems to be no workable solutions in sight ( I searched all the yahoo databanks as well as Mac discussion archives).
    The cam seems to work on AIM but nothing on Yahoo messenger
    Please, one of you mac geniuses come to my rescue
    Additional info: I'm on an ibook G4 (2004), operating system OSX 10.3.9; processor speed - 1.2 Ghz PowerPC; 1.25 GB Ram

    I have had the problem of Yahoo! mail freezing (my computer freezing) with Firefox right after I boot up my computer and sign into my Yahoo! mail account. I have to either shut down my computer or use Control + Alt and press Delete to eventually bring up the Task Manager option. Then, once the choice for Task Manager comes up, I can click on cancel and Yahoo! mail and my computer have "un-frozen." I have followed all the recommendations for updating Firefox, clearing caches, checking if an Add-On is the problem, etc., as well as all the recommendations on Yahoo! help pages. Nothing has improved the situation to date. Firefox info says the problem is with Yahoo! Yahoo! says it is a browser problem. I just want the problem to be fixed.

  • Is it possible to get an iSight camera to work with Yahoo Messenger?

    Totally new to PC here. Been a Macuser all my computer life, but needed a second computer for work. Not thrilled, but there it is.
    So, I'm wondering if the isight camera is PC compatible, and if so, how and what drivers do I install? Or do I just go out and by a PC camera?

    Hello maurice493windows ML
    Until Tony gets back with you, here is some info you can consider.
    iSight does not need an installer CD because it was sold by Apple for use with Macs. All software for iSight is built into Mac OS X, so no separate installer CD was provided.
    Apple's Boot Camp software that comes with the iNtel Macs has drivers for XP, but I am uncertain whether you have one of the iNtel Macs. If you do have access to an iNtel Mac and the software that came with it, you can extract the driver using the info Tony provided in this response to "Lennysapple" here:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=4207189&#4207189
    This apparently will work with a PC running Windows XP, but I have not yet seen reports of it working properly with Windows Vista. You may, as Tony suggests, need to experiment to find out.
    <hr width="75%">
    I do not recommend iSight on a PC. If you have too much difficulty, a USB webcam that is compatible with YM for your PC may be a quicker and easier choice. Many of the PC compatible USB webcams are cheap, and they were designed to work with PCs.
    This Google Search returned links, such as this one, which contains the following statement that may indicate more problems for you:
    ... Apple specific hardware will not work, such as the iSight, Bluetooth, etc. due to the fact that they're written for 32-bit Windows XP SP2.
    I do not know whether that is still true, but it does support my suggestion that it may be easier to buy a PC compatible USB webcam.

  • Does Safari work with Yahoo Mail?

    I can not view my Yahoo mail
    I can’t compose a message
    Once I’ve signed into my mail that’s all that works
    I can’t view any of my mail entries nor can I view my address book
    I receive the following error message
    Http://us.f250.mail.yahoo.com
    An unexpected problem has occurred (Wrong Version.)
    Performing your action again in a few moments will solve the problem. If it persists we suggest you re-lauch Yahoo! Mail.

    The Yahoo Mail Beta version does not work for me. Same error as you are getting. I use the Yahoo regular version and it works great for me.

  • Has anyone succesfully set up iSight video with Yahoo Messenger 2.5.3?

    If so, could you pass along how you did it? i.e. what settings etc.

    Yup. I just trashed the preferences on this Intel 17 and restarted Yahoo. Opening the camera crashed the program. Should I be looking to trash any other Yahoo Messenger related things or can it be said the program suddenly doesn't work on Intel Macs?
    It did.

  • Forward to several addresses does not work with Yahoo account

    My wife uses a MacBook Air and a YahooPlus in Mail.
    It works well except when she wants to forward mail to several addresses.
    She gets an error message (something about smtp server...don't know exactly)
    When she forwards the mail one by one it works.
    In the old days when she was on Windows she used Yahoo's website mail and had no problems forwarding to several people, so the problem must be related to Mail and not Yahoo.
    Can anyone help?
    Thanks

  • Isight does work with Yahoo!

    Well I tried using my Isight with Yahoo Messenger but it did not work. My friends cannot see me because their computers say my webcam is not online. Anyone can help?

    Same problem here as the others who have posted. iSight was working fine with Yahoo Messenger until two days ago, but then suddenly started dropping out a moment after it connected. I also had just installed the QuickTime 7.1.1 update so I tried going back to version 7.0.1 using Apple's reinstaller to see if this might be the source of the problem
    http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/quicktime701reinstaller.html
    but no luck. It continues to drop out right after starting up.
    Anyone have any other ideas as to what is going on?

  • Does iChat in Lion have video calls with Yahoo messenger??

    Does iChat in Lion have video calls with Yahoo messenger?
    so far is supports only AIM and Apple ID for video chat but in Lion iChat supports Yahoo messenger, do they have video calling also or only text chat is offered in this version?

    Hi all,
    iChat will Video to other iChat users for Jabber (Google, Facebook and others)  and Yahoo Names.
    In neither case will it Video to any Web browser access to the service the buddy may be on such as the Google Mail web mail or iGoogle pages access to the chat option.
    Nor will it video to any Standalone app (There is one for PC for GoogleTalk) and obviously the Yahoo app on both PCs and Macs.
    iChat has not done this since Jabber was added at iChat 3  (OS 10.4/Tiger) some while ago.
    The AIM for Mac app has never been able to do Video.
    Video chatting to the AIM app for PCs can be fraught but is supposed to work.
    It also tends to work to the  Trillian App with the Pro Add-on (which Costs)
    The Yahoo for Mac 3 Beta has been in beta for years.  It could be argued that it has never been "Supported"
    iChat 6 's behaviour may not be what you want but it is entirely consistent with iChat 3 through 5 with the Jabber options.

  • I have recently upgraded my iMac Intel G5 iSight to OS 10.6.8 and now the internal mic does not work with skype or facebook. I can here static when playing back clips. Do I need to update firmware or reload old sys parts

    I have recently upgraded my iMac Intel G5 iSight (iMac5,1) to OS 10.6.8 and now the internal mic does not work with skype or facebook. I can here static when playing back clips. Do I need to update firmware or reload old system parts. I have zapped PRAM. The blue indicator in system audio panel will appear for a second as I slide the bar for internal mic but then it disappears. Is there a fix?

    The sound seems very faint but can here static on playback.
